1. Jeanette B.

“This is our first time having Jeanette to look after Louie & Cali and it has been fantastic from start to finish. Jeanette came & met us before our trip and even came for a walk with us to get to know Louie & Cali. I was so grateful for it because it put my mind at rest. Jeanette sent updates and photos for the whole 10 days and my doggies looked so very happy! Thoroughly spoilt, I had no worries whatsoever. I arrived back tonight to 2 very chilled dogs, a spotless house, bedding cleaned and even a gorgeous bunch of flowers 🤩 Myself Cali & Louie would highly recommend Jeanette and will definitely be asking her to look after them again 🐾🐾 😀 thank you Jeanette”

“Raquel is super friendly and really loves dogs. She's done a fantastic job of looking after Finn, my frenchie, who can be a bit of a handful! She went above and beyond for him and I'm confident she'll do the same for you & yours.”


3. Robyn S.

“Robyn was absolutely brilliant with Murphy for the 2 nights she had him while we was away for a family wedding. Murphy hasn’t been away from family before so was anxious about leaving him but I had no worries at all once we had left. I was updated with photos and videos through the whole duration and it really put my mind at rest to enjoy the wedding knowing he was well looked after. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Robyn again in the future!”


4. Katie M.

“We very much enjoyed having Katie look after our puppy. She was friendly and Kenji, our pup, took to her instantly. She even took a video while we were away! Would love to have her sit for us again, could not recommend her enough.”

About: Love walkies, and company that dogs bring. I have no pets atm if my own. I have owned quite a few cats and 4 dogs of my own. I also have looked after friends dogs at times and boarded one for 5 weeks due to my friends house move. I do work and am home a few nights and evenings during week where I can walk, board or sit with dogs. I also am free at weekends and love beach walks and country walks I have a massive garden and live in my own house. Pets are free to come and chill and cuddle on sofa and bed with me.

About: Historically, I've had about 12 years experience with dogs. I used to foster lots of different breeds in a loving home. I had dogs come to me with all kinds of issues I helped them overcome them and equipped them to settle into a loving forever home. My partner of three years had two elderly rescues when we met, one has dementia (Harvey) and one had aggression issues (we lost Dudley in September). I helped with their care from the beginning and gained both of their trust and love. I live a very dog friendly home. A ground floor flat with enclosed back outside area, opposite a park. I live in a very dog friendly area with many dog friendly facilities nearby. I am trustworthy, caring and intuitive in my interactions with canines. I hope to make a career from boarding/walking/caring for canines, what could be better than to make a living out of something I love. My partner and I aren't ready for a new permanent dog after losing Dudley, so boarding is win win for us and Harvey who enjoys his doggie interactions. i dont drive at the moment dog walks would need be local to plainmoor were i live I'm free nearly every day so availibility will not be a probleme message me and I fit you in my routine I'm very flexible I have dog harvey. i have a back garden fenced off we have a park opposite us nice walks our home is very dog friendly warm and welcoming .

About: Always taken care of dogs in some way. Taking strays for a walk from the kennels etc. Sister who practices vetinerary physiotherapy. Very handy. Patient. If you need a long-term (more than 7 days) sitter that is fine but would prefer shorter stays. The dog will be prioritised in the morning and evenings if they come to stay. If your dog needs companionship throughout the day there is always someone at home. I have a fenced garden. House full of adults so no prodding or poking. Lots of love and cuddles. Non-smoker. Other homes are fine, no car but familiar with Torquay area so can walk to dog-friendly areas for a long and fun walk.


9. Carly C.

“Carly has been so wonderful with my puppy Maggie. It was the first time I had left her and after meeting Carly I knew she would be in safe hands. Maggie absolutely loves her and we are so grateful to have her. She is really reliable and flexible and I would highly recommend 🤗”

About: I provide one to one pet services which are tailored to your needs! Pet first aid, DBS CHECKED and insured. I have many years experience with my own pets and from volunteering in pet rescue. After ten years in teaching , I decided to head towards my passion of caring for animals! I am offering bespoke one to one dog walking, pet pop ins and more. I am known locally as Paws to Doors. Look forward to hearing from you! I have a fenced little garden and live close to the beach. If a doggy is coming to stay, I will recommend that I meet the dog before hand a couple of times to make sure all parties are happy. I will always put your furry friend first!


11. Oli J.
About: I've been looking after animals since I could remember, I've looked after lots of animals for short stays or even multiple weeks. My dog has had a lot of medical issues such as deafness and arthritis so I'm very empathetic towards similar situations. I'm currently in part time education so have plenty of time to look after your pets, I can do short visits, long walks and boarding! I have access to a number of exciting walking spots, some of which are enclosed. I will always check with you regarding if you prefer leashed walks or if you are happy with your fury friends recall when off lead.

“Francesca took a good care of our pup on a short notice. Our pup is very energetic, but she took a good care of him. She has given us updates with lovely pictures. Ww would definitely recommend her.”
