Dog Walking in Torridge

“Riah walked my dog while I was at work on multiple occasions and was amazing. Always on time, great communication and care for my dog. (She even put his raincoat on when it was raining). Will definitely use her again!”

“Courtney is a lovely, friendly person who most importantly our dogs took to immediately. Marley was happy to go with Courtney for a long walk and I’m sure he had a fun time! He’s looking forward to seeing you again next week 😀😀”

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: We have owned a rescue greyhound for a couple of years now and so have plenty of experience with quiet and nervous dogs. He has come on leaps and bounds since adoption! We often look after our friend’s retriever, and have also looked after another greyhound. My partner and I are full-time workers but both work from home and so will always be around to give dogs all the love and attention they need! We provide a calm and comfortable space for dogs whilst in our home. We have six foot fencing and a nice long garden for them to stretch their legs! Our garden backs directly onto a long secluded trail where we do our daily walks. Dogs will always be kept on the lead.

About: Nice to meet you, I'm Diana. I've been surrounded by animals all my life. Chickens, parakeets, parrots, fish, rabbits, pigeons, dogs and cats have been my companions along this path. During the last few years in Colombia I've worked on my pet care project at home, dog walking and photography for furry friends and I would love to be able to continue doing what I'm passionate about wherever life takes me. I'm a very dedicated person to animals, attentive to their needs and committed to fulfilling my work with the smallest detail that they tell me. I know that each furry friend has its magic touch, that's why I strive to create and take care of the bond with it. I'll be delighted to meet you and your faithful friend(s) and help you with whatever you need :) I am currently looking to continue doing what I am passionate about, getting to know and caring for animals and creating a bond with them. At the moment I have a lot of free time since I recently arrived in England and I am looking to do this work full-time. I always follow the care instructions for each of the furry ones, and I never miss out on cuddles and photos. If your furry one is nervous, I always try to gain their trust by giving them space, giving them time and being very patient. I make sure they have the required time for recreation and fun and that they never miss their food. I love them all, but the old ones always make me fall in love at first sight because they remind me of my beautiful little dogs who are already little angels.

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”

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: Hi, we’re James and Josie 👋

 We’ve just returned home to the UK after travelling and are excited to continue our journey as dedicated pet sitters. We’re caring, compassionate, trustworthy, and experienced; we’ll treat your pets with the same love, respect, and affection as if they were our own (they’re royalty, after all 🐾).

 We both hold full UK driving licences and have a spacious car should transport ever be required. We’re confident in administering all types of medication and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for animals with different needs. 

I (James) have loved animals from a young age, I even managed to persuade my parents to let me get a dog, and that’s where it all began! Since then, I’ve worked with several dog walking and pet sitting companies in England, as well as running my own small business alongside my full-time job. Now that I have more time to dedicate, I couldn’t be happier to be back doing what I love most: caring for animals.

 I (Josie) grew up surrounded by pets: cats, horses, guinea pigs, and fish; and I’ve always been passionate about looking after them. I also volunteered at a horse yard that offered therapeutic riding for disabled children, which was such a rewarding experience. But at the heart of it all, I just love animals (especially cats 🐱).

 If you’d like to know more about us or our services, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’d love to meet you and your furry (or not-so-furry) family members soon!

 James & Josephine 
(a.k.a The Animal Whisperers) We’re both currently back in the UK and have flexible schedules, which means we can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or longer-term house sits, we’ll fit in around your pets’ routines to keep everything consistent and stress-free. Your pets’ safety and wellbeing are always our top priority. We’re both experienced with dogs, cats, horses, and small animals, and are confident handling pets of all ages, temperaments, and needs. We’re fully licensed drivers and have a spacious car, so transport is never an issue. We’re also very confident administering medication (oral, topical, or injections) and caring for elderly or special-needs pets. Above all, we’ll treat your pets and your home with respect, care, and trust, just as if they were our own.

About: I am passionate about working with dogs, and I’m an experienced dog walker / sitter. I have volunteered in Dog sanctuaries across Europe and Africa, dealing with dogs of all different breeds, ages and health conditions. I have a full, clean drivers license and own my own car! I work as a freelance Animator out of my studio in Penryn. As I work for myself I am able to structure my days around my animal care commitments, which take priority when scheduling my calendar. I believe it is a big responsibility taking care of someones beloved pet, and I treat animals and other peoples homes with the utmost respect. I am very adaptable and understand that all animals are different and need different sorts of care. I am an excellent communicator, and will work with the owner to provide the best care possible for each pet.

About: I have a lifetime of experience with animals, especially dogs and cats, as I grew up with a highly intelligent German Shepherd who was my family. Since then, I’ve had the chance to care for many different breeds - Border Collies, Retrievers, Dachshunds, Samoyed, English Spaniels/Cocker Spaniels, Boston Terriers, Toy Poodles, Cockapoos, French Bulldogs, Mastiffs, Pomeranians, Goldendoodles, Wire Fox Terriers, Pugs, and of course Shepherds, as well as many cats, giving me years of hands-on pet care experience. I’ve also spent time walking and playing with dogs at a shelter (many wonderful mixed breeds), so I understand how to care for pets with different temperaments, energy levels, and needs. Since moving to the UK, I don’t have pets of my own yet, so it would be an absolute pleasure to care for yours! Whether it’s puppy care, playtime, walks, or simply keeping your pet company, I’m here to provide loving, attentive, and responsible care. I have a flexible schedule as I work from home, which allows me to be available any day of the week for pet care. Your pet will never be left alone for long, and I can easily adjust to their routine. I provide a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for pets, whether in my home or yours. I live on a farm with plenty of open space for dogs to walk, run, and play freely. If caring for pets in their owner's home, I ensure they feel secure and relaxed by sticking to their familiar routines, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they are always well-fed, exercised, and cared for. Their happiness and well-being are my top priorities! 🐾

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: From a bustling household with five cats, a loyal dog, and majestic horses to rescuing two dogs from dire circumstances, my life has always been intertwined with animals. As a lifelong animal lover, I've become the go-to person for pet care among friends and family, nurturing every creature with the love and attention they deserve. Passionate about the great outdoors, I find joy in embarking on long walks with dogs, exploring nature's beauty and ensuring our furry friends get the exercise and excitement they crave. My professional background as a freelance chef enriches my ability to cater not just to human tastes but to canine palates as well. Yes, I whip up dog-friendly meals that are both nutritious and delicious, tailored to make mealtime a joy for your pet. Travel is a passion of mine, but when I'm home, I offer a safe and welcoming environment for your dog. My garden is fully dog-proof, ensuring a secure space for play and relaxation. Located walking distance from some of the best dune walks, your dog will enjoy endless adventures, just a paw's step away from home. In trusting your beloved dog with me, you're not just ensuring they have a sitter — you're giving them a friend who understands and shares an innate love for all creatures, great and small. Together, we'll make sure your dog's stay is as joyful and enriching as possible. I am a freelance chef. I have an events catering company, which means I have a lot of free time in-between big events. I especially have time over the winter months and the majority of my work is during the summer (weddings). I have a dog safe garden, which is big enough for a good run around. I have a work from home lifestyle, which means I have loads of time to walk, play and cuddle with your dog. I am passionate about walking and have access to incredible walks right from my house.

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.
