About: I am self-employed, which gives me a lot of flexibility with my availability and hours. I also have two animal-loving children who are at nursery and school during the day, allowing me plenty of time for feeding visits, companionship, playtime and check-ins 🐱💕 I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their cats are safe, comfortable and well cared for while they are away. I always make sure pets have a calm, clean and secure environment, follow routines carefully, and give them plenty of attention, reassurance and fuss. I am respectful of owners’ homes and will always keep communication open with updates and photos if requested 😊

Sophie took excellent care of our cat Lilly. We have had issues with pet sitters in the past and I was nervous of leaving Lilly again. Sophie definitely put my mind at ease. She came for a visit beforehand to meet her and asked lots of questions to find out all of her needs. It was so lovely to meet her and she was very knowledgeable on pet care. Sophie was also very considerate of my autistic daughter who wanted her to send pictures and videos so she wouldn't worry. Sophie was more than happy to do this and my daughter was over the moon. We could see by these updates that Lilly was relaxed and well looked after. On our return, Lilly was of course, happy to see us but once she had a bit of fuss, it was clear she was content and had no stress at all. Sophie left everything exactly as it was and even did the little bit of washing up that I hadn't managed to do before leaving as well as emptying the dishwasher. It was such a relief to know that Lilly was in good hands! I got to enjoy my holiday knowing my fur baby was safe and cared for. I would definitely recommend Sophie to look after your pets and absolutely will book her in the future (if she's available of course 😀). Thank you Sophie 😊

Words can not describe how wonderful Sarah is. She stepped in at the 11th hour and took care of our lovely sweetie for 4 days over the Christmas holidays. Our cat absolutely loved her. Sarah took amazing care of our little sweetie sending me regular updates and videos. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone and will defiantly be using her again. ?

About: I’ve been dog walking and boarding for over two years, and I’m usually the first call when friends need someone to care for their pets while they’re away. I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and all kinds of animals, so caring for pets has always been part of my life. I’m a massive dog lover (my daughter is too!), and your pup will be treated like one of the family. I’m currently working part time and my job allows me to be home almost all the time. I tend to have max. of 2 dogs at time so they get as much attention and care as possible I am based in Livermead, only 5mins from the beach where dogs are welcome even during the summer and 5mins drive to Cockington park. Walk along seafront is always good too! Garden is fenced, and location is perfect for walkies.

About: From a young age, animals have been my passion and constant companions. Growing up, I've had the joy of owning various pets, and currently, my home is filled with the delightful energy of my two well-behaved dogs and six adorable hamsters. What sets me apart is not just my experience in pet ownership, but the genuine love and dedication I pour into caring for each animal. Their well-being is my top priority, and I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. As a part-time stylist, my schedule offers the perfect flexibility to dedicate ample time to pet care. Beyond my work in the hair industry, my days are centered around caring for my own beloved animals. With a deep passion for animals, I'm eager to extend my care to others and assist those who need help with their precious pets. I'm committed to using my free time to provide attentive, loving care, ensuring every pet receives the attention and support they deserve. When caring for pets in an owner's home, my priority is to maintain their established routine and provide a safe, comfortable environment. I follow the owner's instructions meticulously, ensuring proper feeding, exercise, and any necessary medication is administered on time. I'm attentive to the pet's behavior and needs, offering plenty of affection and playtime while also respecting their personal space. Regular communication with the owner is key, providing updates and photos to ensure peace of mind and maintain a strong sense of trust. My goal is to make the pet feel secure and loved in their own home while their owner is away.

About: I’ve had dogs by my side for as long as I can remember from a very early age, from bouncy pups to gentle seniors and everything in between - including my current dog, a Romanian rescue, Jonas, who is now my best friend! Over the years, I’ve experienced all kinds of personalities — including those a little shy, anxious, or reactive — and I truly believe every dog deserves patience, understanding, and a walk they can enjoy. I know our dogs become family - so when you trust me with your pup, whether for a quick walk or a longer holiday, you can rest easy knowing they’ll be treated like one of my own. My walks are safe, relaxed, and full of love (and maybe a few extra treats!). Whether your dog needs a fun adventure or a calm companion, I’m here to make sure they’re happy, cared for, and wagging their tail every time they see me coming. I have recently left my full time office job to try and take on dog walking as my full time career - this means I am fully flexible to work around you and your pups needs. Whether it’s a quick walk during the work day, or a weekend boarding, I can adapt my schedule around you. I have a large garden, which is unfenced however would always be supervised, whilst also living a 5 minute walk from a dog friendly beach, so a lot of beach walks and sea swims are available! I have my own dog, Jonas, to keep your furry friends company at home or on walks, who is also crate trained. I have basic knowledge of dog first aid, and I am currently in the process of getting my K9 first aid certificate to make sure your pup is in safe hands whatever happens.

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: 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.

About: We’ve both had dogs in our lives from young ages. Ash’s mum has had many litters so we are well versed in puppy care too! We are happy to discuss puppy & elderly dogs coming to stay with us too. We have looked after our family’s dogs and cats many times. Look forward to hearing from you! We are both busy term time Monday - Friday but can dog sit in the evenings if needed. Very free on the weekends and half terms if and when you need it. We are happy to take dogs out evenings and weekends. We have a fenced back garden and no other dogs for them to play with unfortunately! We are happy for them to be crated whilst they’re with us. We had an open space kitchen so can easily stretch out in there for the living room.

About: About Me – Your Trusted Pet Care Provider Hi, I’m Hayley, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes! From cats and dogs to hamsters, tortoises, and even fish—I’ve had the joy of looking after them all. My journey with animals started young, working in a veterinary practice while still in school. I then spent two years at Paignton Zoo while earning my BTEC in Animal Care, followed by university studies in Animal Science. My passion for animal welfare even took me to South Africa, where I self-funded a trip to work on a conservation park alongside incredible wildlife like elephants and lions. More recently, I sadly lost my beloved blue Staffy, Luna. She was my best friend, and her passing has left a paw-shaped hole in my heart. That’s why I’m offering my time, love, and experience to care for your pets as if they were my own. Whether it’s dog walking, pet sitting, or boarding, I provide a safe, loving, and experienced service you can trust. Let’s give your furry (or scaly!) family members the care they deserve! Get in touch today—I can’t wait to meet them. I work part time - on a hybrid basis- at home and elsewhere if needed. This means I have flexibility on working hours but on some days I may be out of the house for a few hours but I provide full transparency on this. Depending on your pets requirements I would love a chat and meet your furry friends to see how I can help you out! I have a welcoming bungalow with a fenced outside area. This does contain some stairs. I allow my pets on the sofa but they must be flea and tick treated. I have a large crate and a dog bed which can be located in our roomy utility room if they need a safe environment that’s quiet.
