Dog Walking in Torridge

“Courtney asked to meet us and our dog prior to booking. This made a big difference to us as we knew exactly who we were trusting to take care of Poppy. She communicated with us after each walk with details about how Poppy was and any issues of concerns. Highly recommend”

About: Hi, I’m Kelsey – basically obsessed with dogs 🐶 I’m that person who says hi to every dog on the street. I have a cocker spaniel who’s basically my child haha, and I used to care full-time for a Great Dane—so I’m used to dogs of all sizes and personalities. I may not have formal qualifications, but I’ve got real-life experience, a big heart for animals, and I take their care seriously. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or just snuggles on the sofa, I’m here to make your pup feel happy and safe. I’m friendly, reliable, and super easy to chat with—so if you’re looking for someone who’ll love your dog like their own, I’m your person! Pet care fits perfectly into my life as I work part-time. This means I’ve got plenty of flexibility to give your pup the time, attention, and love they need—whether that’s long walks, garden playtime, or cozy sofa snuggles. It’s something I genuinely enjoy, and I love being able to make it part of my everyday routine! So I’m pretty flexible most days. Whether I’m staying in your home or just popping by for a walk, your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions and routine—because no one knows your dog better than you do. For pet sitting, I keep things calm and consistent so your pet feels safe and settled in their own space. For dog walks, I stick to your preferred routes, pace, and any quirks your pup may have (pulling toward other dogs? I get it 😂). I’m respectful of your home, reliable, and treat every pet like they’re my own.

About: I love animals, particularly dogs 💕 having had dogs all my life becoming a professional and turning my passion into a business made perfect sense. All dogs in my care receive plenty of one-to-one attention, play and walkies to stimulate and keep them happy. Caring for all age groups comes as second nature to me. There is a large park right across from my house and your pet will get 2 to 3 walks a day, depending on their needs, together with access to my fully enclosed rear garden. Trips to the beach or woods are with owners consent, of course. I am Enhanced DBS checked and Fully Insured for your peace of mind. I always like to have a meet and greet (free of charge) in the first instance as it gives both the dog, the owner and me a chance to get to know each other a little to begin with. If it's a last minute booking it's fine as people get let down all the time, so I totally understand situations like that. If you can't make a meet and greet (usually takes around 20mins) I'm happy to do a video or phone call. I'm always around to offer playtime and cuddles for your dog. Dogs are part of the family pack, they love our company so being there for them is very important to me. My back garden is fully dog-proof. I have a dog flap plus the back door is open all day on nice days so they may come and go at leisure. I have a dog ramp on my steps to ensure older/injured/disabled dogs can access the rear garden too. Your pet can roam around in complete safety. I have a very chilled and friendly little Cavapoo who loves making new friends. You'll receive photos of your pet so that you can relax in the knowledge they're having lots of fun whilst they're with me. If I'm visiting your home I ensure your pet receives the same care and attention as if they were mine. Cuddles and fuss, playtime and stimulation. Cleaning up after myself and your fur baby goes without saying.

About: I'm a qualified dog walker and pet sitter. I have qualified in level 2 animal care, level 2 vet nursing and level 3 pet first aid. I have grown up with a variety of different types of pets. I have been working with dogs for the last 8 years. I work with your pets during the day and then I have an evening job that is 3 hours and not related to animals. The evening job is near my home, so I will only do it if I'm on local sits. I will put your dogs in a crate or a safe room in the house, if I'm going out to the shops. I make sure outside space is safe for your pet.

About: I grew up with two collie-cross spaniels who I had since they were puppies and absolutely adored them! Unfortunately they’re no longer with us and I’m really missing spending time with dogs. I also have experience looking after friends and family’s pets! I have also got pet care experience working on a horse yard caring for rescue horses and rehabilitating them until they could go to the RSPCA for rehoming. Last year I actually volunteered in Norway where I had to observe the behaviour and health of a wild beluga whale which was very different and an amazing experience! I love animals so much and would love to look after your doggo(s)! I currently work part time as a ranger (3-4 days a week) and these days vary each week. When I’m not working I can spend as much time with your dog as needed and when I am working I’m available before 8am and after 4:30pm. Wherever I’m looking after pets (at your home or out and about on walks etc), I try to match your routines as much as possible and stick to your instructions. If looking after your pet at your own home, I will keep it safe and secure and treat it with respect and tidiness. Your pet will be very much loved and cared for and I’m more than happy to share photos and updates!

About: Hi! We are looking to cover an wide area of Devon. We are currently sitting full time and are booked up with sits for the rest of 2025 but we are available for walks and visits. Until the end of August we will be around the area of Yelverton. I’m Jodie, I grew up in a household that was always full of animals. From dogs, cats, and rabbits to ducks, chickens, and even a lizard, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Though we don’t have pets of our own just yet, Caithlin and I are the people our friends and family call when they need someone trustworthy to care for their animals and homes. Caithlin comes from a big Irish family, where long holidays were common and their home quickly became the go to place for relatives pets, especially dogs! From the age of 12, she was helping care for her aunts and uncles beloved dogs, often having multiple furry visitors at once. As some of those dogs got older, Caithlin began house sitting in their own homes to make the transition easier and less stressful for them. She really understands how important it is for animals to feel secure and relaxed while their loved ones are away. Between us, we have the most experience with dogs and rabbits, but we’re comfortable and confident with a wide range of animals. Whether it’s long walks, enrichment play, medication routines, or just being a friendly face at home, we tailor our care to suit each pet’s needs. We also take great pride in looking after homes. We’re tidy, respectful, and love the rhythm of house sitting. I’m especially passionate about plants and gardening, so your leafy friends will be in good hands too! We’re calm, energetic, and reliable, and we genuinely love what we do. It’s a privilege to provide animals with loving, familiar care while giving owners peace of mind. Feel free to give us a call, we’d love to get to know you and your pets! I work as a telecoms engineer and travel around for jobs, which means I’m often able to bring well-behaved, comfortable dogs along with me for the day in the air conditioned truck. I usually start early and finish by around 2pm, so there’s plenty of time in the afternoon for walks, play, and attention. Caithlin works remotely full-time, with a consistent 9–5 schedule from home. So if your pet prefers company throughout the day or is more of a homebody, they won’t be left alone, there’ll always be someone around to keep them comfortable and cared for. On weekends we like to get out the house, whilst Caithlin likes to explore quaint local shops, I'm more of a nature explorer and like to take walks in rain or shine. At the moment, we only offer pet care in the owner’s home. We’ve found that pets are happiest and most relaxed when they’re in their own familiar environment, surrounded by the sights, smells, and routines they know best. It helps reduce stress, especially for more sensitive or older animals, and allows us to maintain their usual schedule as closely as possible. We take safety and trust seriously. We treat every home with the same care and respect we would our own, and always aim to leave things just as we found them. Your pet’s wellbeing is our top priority, and we’re committed to providing a calm, attentive, and loving presence while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of cats my whole life & dogs since I was 8 years old. I frequently look after big & small dogs - GSP’s, pomeranians, sausage dogs, labradors. I also frequently cat sit after sadly losing my 2 cats a couple years ago. I work from home, I have lots of flexibility & access to a car so getting around and suiting your needs is no problem to me. I have cared for pets such as cats, dogs, reptiles, hamsters and rabbits in other peoples homes. I will give regular updates and am a genuine, honest & caring person who will always put your pets needs first.

“Our dogs loved Meg and didn't want her to leave after being dropped off. They both fell asleep quickly and are happy snoozing so I think they had a great walk!”

About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, and small mammals. I believe that each animal has individual care requirements and I use my job experience as a vet to accommodate your pets needs whether they be behavioural, medical or dietary.
