Dog Walking 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: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with them from birth and owning my own for the past 15 years. From the age of 10, I was walking dogs for neighbours and local families, which gave me early hands on experience and a real love of caring for dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. I have trained a number of dogs including my own dogs and feel confident supporting a wide range of needs, from energetic puppies who need plenty of stimulation to older dogs who enjoy a gentler pace and extra cuddles. We are a very animal loving family made up of myself, my husband and our daughter, who has grown up around animals and understands how to be kind, gentle and respectful with them. Our home offers a genuine home from home environment where dogs are treated as part of the family. We share our home with Rosie, our 14 year old Collie x Poodle, Daisy, our 1 year old Labrador Retriever and our 16 year old Cat Bella who tends to keep herself to herself. As you'll see from the photos, they are very happy, friendly dogs and a huge part of our family. They both enjoy the company of other dogs and are used to sharing their space. We have a secure, good sized garden for safe outdoor play and love exploring the beautiful North Devon countryside, beaches and woodland walks. Whether your dog enjoys adventures, games or simply relaxing at home, we'll make sure they feel happy, comfortable and well cared for. Both my husband and I between us ensure one of us work from home each day of the week, which means dogs in our care have company and supervision for the vast majority of the day. Aside from short school runs or quick errands, someone is usually at home. If your dog is unable to be left alone, please get in touch as we can often accommodate this too. I know how important it is to feel completely confident that your pet is safe, happy and loved while you're away. Whether you're heading off on holiday, need regular daycare, or are visiting North Devon and want to enjoy an activity where dogs can't join, we would be delighted to help. Any dog staying with us will be treated as an honorary member of the family, with plenty of affection, attention and care. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is having a wonderful time. As a dog owner, I use pet sitters myself when we travel, so I completely understand how difficult it can feel leaving your dog with someone new. I'm always happy to answer any questions and arrange a meet and greet so you can feel reassured that we're the right fit for your dog. I'm not the best at remembering to take photos of myself, but I've included some of our favourite pictures, along with our garden and a few snapshots from adventures with Rosie and Daisy. I hope they give you a feel for the happy, dog loving home we can offer. We both work from home, meaning your dog will have company and supervision for the vast majority of the time (around 95%), aside from short periods such as school runs or quick errands. We always prioritise being with any dog in our care, ensuring they feel settled, safe and never left for long periods. If they could not be left we can also work with this! I understand how important it is to feel your pet is safe and happy, whether you’re away on holiday or just need support during the day. If a working day our dogs get 2 - 3 walks a day from 30 minutes to 45 minutes in a range of different settings. We can meet any timetable for feeding required. I have a fenced garden and 2 friendly dogs that will support in keeping your pup entertained and engaged in games (they love tug of war and ball games!) and lots of cuddles and fuss throughout the day. We live in a quiet estate. We also can offer quiet area’s of the house if they need a little downtime to themselves where we can sit with them if required away from our pups.

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.

All dogs deserve the best in my eyes. Your dog will be treated with lots of love like Rex does.

About: I have always had a strong love for animals and plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I have my own Blue Staffy who is now 15 years old, so I have grown up caring for and looking after a dog throughout all stages of their life. I also regularly help look after my boyfriend’s three dogs throughout the week, giving me experience with caring for multiple dogs with different personalities and needs. When I was a teenager, I was regularly trusted by neighbours, family and friends to walk their dogs, and was paid to provide this care. I also regularly dog and house sit for family and friends whenever i can. I’m reliable, caring and responsible, and I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection and the individual care they need. I currently have a flexible schedule as I am looking for work, which means I have plenty of time and availability to dedicate to caring for pets. I am able to adapt my daily routine around each pet’s individual needs, whether that means regular walks, feeding times, playtime, companionship or staying overnight. My current flexibility also means I can be available during weekdays, weekends and for overnight stays, depending on the booking. I would make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I am used to having dogs as part of my everyday routine through caring for my own 15-year-old Blue Staffy and regularly looking after my boyfriend’s three dogs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality and requirements, and I am happy to follow their usual schedule as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and settled while their owners are away.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have always had dogs in my life. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, energy levels and routines. While I’m new to dog walking professionally, I’m used to daily walks, feeding routines, basic training and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need. I understand how important it is for owners to know their dogs are safe and well cared for. I offer one-on-one dog walks, taking dogs on local countryside routes. Walks are 30–60 minutes, giving each dog safe, supervised exercise and attention. I schedule multiple walks per day and can accommodate several dogs. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I currently care for three dogs, so I understand different personalities and routines. I will provide safe walks and follow any instructions from the owner to keep their pets happy and secure.

About: Over the last 4 decades I have loved and cared for a multitude of my own pets from cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, cockatiels, finches, fish and chickens. I have raised rabbits, cats and hens from babies.I have offered been the go to friend to take care of others pets, from taking care of cats, to walking dogs or caring for tortoise. Animals have always been an important part of my life. As I currently work part time and am also self employed I can offer more flexibility. As a pet owner I understand the importance of having the right person to love and take care of your pets when you're away, I can offer house sitting on the weekend and also school holidays and drop ins at other times. Pet friendly home where safety and happiness is paramount. As an energetic individual your pets would get the attention they need and would enjoy lovely walks and cuddles.

About: I offer dog sitting/walking/drop in play visits as well as night stays for when you go away on holiday for any pet you have. I have looked after other people's cats and dogs my whole life and have volunteered at Dogs Trust in my teenage years. I love all animals and am at my happiest when in their company. I love the outdoors and have a boundless energy - its like your dog will be taking me for the walk... but can be calm and assertive when needed. Your dog will get the walk of its life every single time and every second will be spent making sure he/she is enjoying themselves. I am so lucky to be able to make a modest income doing what I would do for free if I could!
