We were so pleased with the manner in which Jeanette looked after our dog and house. We returned to a happy dog and a clean and tidy home. The communication and pics during out holiday were comforting. Would use again. Thank you Jeanette.

About: Completely animal obsessed with a loving and caring nature. I have grown up with pets my whole life and I would love nothing more than to look after your little fluffys and give them the care and attention they deserve. They will be loved and well looked after like they were my own 😍🥰 I work from home and can be very flixibke so there will be plenty of love/time and attention to go around in giving the best possible care for your little ones. I am incredibly active, I love going on walks and trips to the beach but at the same time love down time and nothing more than relaxing at home all cosy on the sofa with a film ❤️ I can care for your fur baby’s in the comforts of your own home at request I can be flexible as I can of course take my work anywhere with me.(Location dependant).

About: Life time enjoyment of caring for pets. I’ve grown up with every type of animal from living on a farm. My love for pets has no limits. I grew up in Guernsey the wonderful smaller isle of the Channel Islands, and have moved to Portsmouth almost 2 years ago, I had been looking after my work Colleagues dogs and then he mentioned this fantastic app Rover so thought I’d join in the fun and have dogs around me more often and I love it!! I would love to help with your pets care, from a hamster to a dog I am happy to help where I can. let me help you enjoy your holiday or event you may have planned by taking out the worry of what can you do with your pet. We are both DBS credited so you will have peace of mind your home will be in safe hands. We can watch your dog and why not bring your hamster for a holiday to! We have pet cameras linked to the phones so know your pets every move whilst out of the home, they are motion and noise activated so rest assured we are always watching. We also work on the town whilst hubby is driving around doing maintenance he will go home for toilet brakes and puppy cuddles 🥰 I also work 5 minutes from the house and have the ability to leave my work place at anytime. I work mixed hours so your pets are never left for more than 4 hours. Myself and partner both work however but our shifts are different making it easy to care for your pet. Early afternoon finishes for hubby. Late morning starts for me and we also have the weekends off. The longest they would be left is for approximately 4 hours till someone is back home. Hubby works out and about in his van so can always pop in for puppy pats and treats. we would be happy to take two dogs from the same home to board at our home. we can offer pop ins if near by early in the morning or lunch time, also walks in the afternoon and evening. High walled back yard with plenty of space to run and play. No children to pull and poke your beloved pet. Two adults who adore animals but can’t have our own. We would welcome any opportunity to look after your pet. Doggy therapy is the best.

About: I’ve had dogs in my family ever since I was young and will soon have my own puppy to look after. I’m also very trusted by all my neighbours to look after over night of, take for a walk, or have for the day their dogs. I work from home and i have three children, two of which go to school so i am very flexible in the week and flexible at the weekends to come and care for your pets. I own my house with my own private garden, my house isn’t the biggest but it is dog proof due to having my own and I am very respectful in other peoples home, my neighbours trust me to go over and care for their animals in their own homes.

About: I Currently have two Cats that I helped birth Tash and Gizmo. They are my housemates. I love them to bits ! I've had cats my entire life and the most I owned was 9 when I lived on a farm ! I'm an emergency first aider, calm in a crisis and almost lost Tash last year when she was bitten by a rat. She needed surgery and it was a 3 month recovery where I didn't leave her side. I organised a fundraiser to help pay the huge vets bill after vets suggested we put her down. She's currently snuggled on my lap and I'm so glad we both fought for her to still be here ! I will treat your cats like they are my own and 99% of cats warm to me almost instantly. I've owned birds, rabbits, reptiles, rats, dogs, pygmy goats, sheep and kune kune pigs.. all as pets ! We've pet sat in the USA, Spain and even in the Peruvian jungle and have great references. Self employed and love playing and bonding with all animals. We enjoy looking after people's pets all over the world. Its purrfect for us. We treat your pets like members of our own family. We like to find out each individuals likes, needs and requirements as every pet is different

About: About Me – Your Pup’s New Best Friend! 🐾 Hi! I’m Julie, and I’m passionate about giving dogs the same love, care, and attention they get at home—if not more! With over 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, I understand that every pup is unique and deserves personalised care. Whether it’s long walks, playtime in the park, cuddles on the couch, or sticking to a specific routine, I go above and beyond to make dogs feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I’m also reliable, detail-oriented, and great at following special instructions—whether it’s administering medication, managing specific diets, or handling anxious pups with patience and kindness. Your dog won’t just be looked after—they’ll be loved like family. I send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in great hands. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like their own, I’m the sitter for you! I work full-time, but my schedule is flexible enough to give your dog the attention and care they deserve throughout the day which is perfect for pups who need companionship, feeding, playtime, and walks during those times. If your dog is comfortable being at the office during typical work hours, I make sure they’re well-exercised, settled, and content and I’m always available for dinner, cuddles, and walks. For dogs that need extra attention or have specific needs, I’m happy to work with you to find a routine that works for everyone. You’ll also get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring and capable hands. Loving, trustworthy, and committed—I’m here to help make your dog’s day (and yours) a little easier. At the weekends your fur babies will have my undivided attention. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a house with a fully enclosed, high-fenced back garden—perfect for safe outdoor play, exercise, and fresh air without any risk of escape. The garden is secure, well-maintained, and ideal for both active dogs and those who just like to lounge in the sun. Inside, my home is calm, clean, and dog-friendly, with plenty of space for your pup to relax and feel at home. Whether your dog loves to curl up in a quiet corner or explore a new environment, they’ll feel safe, loved, and well cared for in my home. I have 2 whippets of my own who are fun loving and love to play. Your fur baby will be allowed on the sofa but can crated if required. If they sleep on the sofa during the night I have a camera that I can check in on them rather than disturb their sleep.

Thank you so so much, Sarah you truly are amazing & I cannot recommend you enough! Tilly was truly looked after & properly spoilt (think she enjoyed her holiday more than we did)! I would definitely definitely use you again & highly recommend you). I knew exactly what Tilly was doing with updates every day & even gifts for her. 5* + service! Thank you for looking after the fish too! Marine fish can be tricky, but you done it perfectly. Thank you again & hope to see you soon xx

Thank you Amber, you looked after our two dogs for 3 nights at our house. Loads of pictures and updates throughout the stay, good communication and understood the care requirements, especially for our Jack Russell who has separation anxiety and is reactive. Will definitely book again.

Recently I booked Caroline to walk my dog Koda and, following that, she 'house sat' for me over a weekend. Caroline clearly has a great love of dogs, with a confident manner about her which led to an immediate rapport with Koda. Caroline sent me regular updates of what they had been doing together along with photos. This was reassuring and allowed me to have a relaxing break away. I returned to a happy dog who was clearly delighted to have made a new friend. I would have no hesitation in booking Caroline again and highly recommend her.

Victoria was amazing!!! We were so grateful that her and her partner were so caring and attentive with Riley! We had no worries he was being looked after properly and having amazing walks! Our only concern was that he loved Victoria so much he didn’t want us back!!! We are so impressed with their dog sitting - it felt like they understood Riley (who can be a special dog) and loved him like we would! Massive thank you!!!

At a moments notice Carly was able to house sit my dogs. I just moved to Torquay and when you don’t know anyone, it really means a lot. Frequent photos followed by any gossip makes time away from the pups effortless. If anyone needs a dog sitter I would 100% recommend Carly.
