Dog Walking in Torridge

“Nicky was absolutely fantastic. We came down for a wedding so she had both the bride and grooms dog Roo and Pip. They had sn amazing time together. Nicky took them for amazing walks in both countryside and on the beach. Nicky was so flexible and her love of all animals was obvious. We were very lucky and privileged to find Nicky and Pip will have lots of happy memories of his mini break”

“Reggie had another 2 amazing walks. He’s clearly very pleased & excited to see Debbie , Richard & daughter & so makes the task of handing him over so much easier. He has found a second home/family. Happy dog. 😀”

“Diana is a truly exceptional pet sitter who forms a unique and special bond with each pet she cares for. She takes the time to understand their individual personalities, quirks, and needs, ensuring that every animal feels loved and secure. Diana's approach goes beyond the basics of feeding, walking, and cleaning; she provides genuine affection and attentive care, treating every pet as if they were her own. Her dedication and patience are evident in everything she does. Diana has an impressive background, having worked as a pet sitter in Cali, Colombia, where she received numerous glowing reviews. (You can check some of her reviews on her Google account (En Bigotes - https://maps.app.goo.gl/1MDCj4WnLXerTfoF9). Now, she has brought her passion and expertise to the UK, and she is continuing her outstanding work here. I sometimes feel like my cat prefers her over me, which speaks volumes about her ability to connect with animals. If you are looking for a responsible, loving, and experienced pet sitter, I highly recommend Diana.”

“Both Leah and Tim are real animal lovers. They are very passionate about looking after dogs especially after growing up and caring for their own dogs. They are very kind and responsible . I would certainly recommend them both to care for your pet. They certainly won't let you down!”

“Lovely to get to know you today. I’m sure monty will love his walks with you!”

“Ryley was really gentle, kind and skilful in looking after my old and nervous cat. He’s the only person I really trust now to give her her medication! He stayed in my house with her when I had to go away and did a brilliant job of looking after her -‘and the house! He’s also been really good with my son’s lurcher dog - a thoroughly reliable and kind natured carer for anyone’s pet!!!!”

“Nikita is great with animals. She has helped different animals with different needs and she always knows what’s best for them. She’s a fantastic dog walker!”

“Amy has cared for my dog with such care whenever I go away. I can enjoy myself without worrying about if he is ok or if he is having a good time. She has so much love for animals that I know he is always going to have a great time with her”

“Leah has been an absolute blessing for our furry family members! From the moment we met her, it was clear that she has a genuine love and passion for animals. She goes above and beyond to ensure our pets are not only well cared for but also showered with love and attention.Leah is incredibly reliable, punctual, and trustworthy. We never have to worry when our pets are in her care because we know they are in the best hands. She takes the time to understand each pet's unique needs and preferences, making sure they feel comfortable and happy while we're away.One of the things we appreciate most about Leah is her communication. She keeps us updated with regular photos and messages, giving us peace of mind knowing our pets are happy and content.We can't recommend Leah enough to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter. She truly treats our pets like they are her own, and we are grateful to have her as part of our extended family!”

“Great communication”

“Hector is a very calm, patient and compassionate person. He is incredible at navigating dynamics when there are multiple animals, being attentive to the needs of all animals. Hector's care really shines through when you see this gentle giant truly connect with them and give them love, no matter how poorly or unconventionally beautiful they may be. Hector is a quick learner and is flexible when it comes to the needs of your animal. He isn't afraid to show leadership (appropriately), or get his hands dirty, and most of all, just has an endless capacity to play with them! You and your animal(s) are in safe hands with Hector.”

About: I've been caring for dogs and other animals pretty much all of my life. My grandma used to breed Newfoundlands so I was always helping with her gentle giants! From walking and grooming to playing and meal times. I've never not had a dog in my life and they truly do make your life a million times better. When I was 10 we got my best friend, a little whippet puppy who was just the best! We sadly lost him at the ripe age of 12 at the end of last year. It's so important to take extra care of them when they become old and fragile and having to change certain aspects of their life so they don't get down about the things they can't do anymore. I've had the pleasure of getting to know all different breeds and their personalities from Huskies to Dachshunds and Spaniels, Whippets, Staffies, Pocket bullies, xl bullies, Retrievers and Newfoundlands. We have a 7 month old pocket bully and she has to be one of the funniest and loving dogs we've ever had. Before we got her of course we did alot of research and she is such a well behaved girl. It's important that the training starts from the day you get them and I feel that if someone's dog isn't properly trained then they aren't going to know how to deal with someone elses. I adore all dogs and always treat them like they're a part of the family! I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to do what I love most which is being with animals. I also travel to Cornwall atleast once a week so I am very flexible on where I can go too! I plan on mostly doing home visits and or walks. I will ask lots of questions for example using treats etc and asking about allergies. Everyone and every dog is different so it's tailoring every experience to suit the dog and owner so everyone is happy. I know it takes a lot of trust to allow someone into your home and or to take your dog for a walk so I will be making sure I know as much as possible and listening to every word the owner says!

About: Taken care of dogs my whole life; I am now I’m a Police Officer aspiring to become a Police Dog Handler. The combination of my caring and responsible nature with my passion for dogs makes me a good choice for taking your dog. I work on a rolling shift pattern working 4 days on & 4 days off a week. I therefore have lots of free time, just have to organise in advance:) I would take care of your pet at all times when it is in my care. I don’t will aim to have all vet details incase of emergencies and u will always be available to get in contact with.

“Jasmine is an honest and kind person who has lots of experience with dogs, cats and other animals and I can fully recommend Jasmine as a pet sitter. She takes good care of your pets and treats them like her own and gives them lots of love while you’re away, so that you can relax and enjoy your time, just like I did. She’s great at communicating and kept in regular contact so I could relax and I knew they were well looked after. Thank you Jasmine, I’ll certainly be in touch again!”

“I have known Tim and Catriona in a personal capacity for over 10 years, they are helpful, kind, trustworthy and cannot do enough for you! My dogs Milo and Luna absolutely love them and I know that they are in completely safe hands whenever they are with them. They have looked after my dogs on several occasions and always provide them with enriching walks, and as much play time and attention that they could wish for! I have no hesitation in recommending them to house-sit and care for people’s property and pets.”

About: I have always loved caring for animals. I have always had pets growing up, and even now have family pets. I have experience caring for cats and dogs while also caring for young children and children with additional needs as a part time nanny. I have looked after family members pets in their home for 2 weeks+ while they have been on holiday. I enjoy walking/hiking and visiting many different places and love to take the dogs with me to let them have a proper run and socialise on beaches, fields and costal walls. I have been to puppy training classes with my own dogs when they were puppies and have picked up training techniques and tricks which I think help a lot when building a relationship when meeting new pets and building a trusted bond. I do work full time from Monday to Friday 9am - 5:30pm, however, I am available weekends and evenings if required for pet sitting or dog walking. I have 3 dogs of my own and I am knowledgeable in providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets. If there’s a particular thing your pet loves doing, just let me know.
