“We booked Courtney for a day of house sitting for our 15 week old puppy, Mae. When we returned home at 8pm Mae was happy and relaxed, obviously she'd had a good day. Will definitely book again in the future. Thanks to Courtney, with updates during the day we didn't have to worry about our fur baby.”


“Excellent lady. We have a very sensitive timid Bernese. Emma was very patient and gentle with him. Wouldn’t have left our boy with anyone else. Thank you Emma.”


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.

“Holly and Giles were absolutely amazing and I highly recommend them. Our dog is a rescue and because of his previous life can be wary of strangers. He adored Holly and Giles from the first time he met them - I have never seen him take to someone so quickly and I trust his judgement! We met up before we went away and again he absolutely loved them, I think he would have happily gone off with them without me! They took amazing care of him, our cat Molly got far more attention than she usually does and they looked after our home and cleaned it for us which was a blessing after a long trip. We received updates and photos every day which helped so much in knowing he was happy. They are both lovely people, genuine, funny and caring and have great knowledge of animals. I hope to keep in touch with them as they feel like friends now. Massively grateful for all their help!”


“Couldn't rate Alisha highly enough, she's a lovely girl who clearly loves animals and bonded with Brody brilliantly. Really good communication throughout and a credit to the site. Hard working and I get the impression that she does this more for the love of animals than the money! Recommend to anyone needing a little help with their pets.”


“Diana was absolutely brilliant. From the start of the sit she was asking about “dog and house” issues. We walked the dogs together and she managed my strong dog really well. We had daily updates from her, what the dogs were up to and photos/videos of the attention they were getting. She was responsive to any contact I made. Our house was clean, tidy and the laundry completed. Meaning my return home, I only needed to concentrate on our items. I would certainly book Diana again.”


“We left our two large high-energy dogs for two weeks with Nikki and she was brilliant as usual! So reassuring and caring. Thank you Nicky !! Xx”

“Olivia was amazing. From clear communication before and throughout the stay to making sure Poppy was looked after with all her needs being met. Olivia also kept the house clean and tidy and was a great house guest.”


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.

“Leah and Tim cared for both our rescue huskies, Atlas and Pepe whilst we went to a family wedding and we could not recommend them enough. Leah made the whole process so easy and stress free, from booking to providing photos throughout the day. The dogs loved them both and we wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thank you so much for taking the best care of our fur babies ?”


About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and for 11 wonderful years, I had the joy of sharing my life with a Cavachon who I really miss. Caring for him taught me the importance of patience, love, routine, and understanding the unique personalities of our pets. After he passed, I realised how much I missed the companionship that animals bring. Becoming a pet sitter allows me to share that love and experience with others, offering their pets the same level of care and attention I gave my own. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you're away from your furry family member, and I’m here to provide just that—gentle, reliable, and attentive care tailored to each pet's needs. I work flexible part time so have good availability during week days and weekends. I am based in between Worcestershire, Bristol and Westward Ho so can cover these areas When caring for pets in your own home, I aim to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible. I stick closely to your instructions and their regular routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure they feel loved and comforted while you're away. I treat your home with respect, keeping things tidy and secure, and I’m always happy to send updates and pictures so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I have a wealth of experience with a diverse array of animals! From cherished farm animals to playful pets like dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits, I adore every creature that crosses my path. My journey includes working at an exhilarating dog training center and a delightful petting farm, as well as volunteering at an animal sanctuary. Your beloved pets will be treated like family under my care! Currently, I’m also pursuing a Level 3 Diploma in Animal Management at college, further deepening my passion and knowledge. While there are many who offer pet sitting services, I bring a personal touch that ensures each animal receives love, attention, and the best care possible. I truly love all animals, and I can’t wait to provide them with the love and care they deserve! I’m currently working as a waitress while attending college, but my ultimate dream is to work with animals. Starting a pet-sitting business is a meaningful step toward that goal, and I’m excited to combine my passion for animals with my desire to provide exceptional care for pets. The routine for caring for two furry pets includes: 1. Letting them outside in the morning for their business. 2. Feeding them a nutritious breakfast. 3. Enjoying energetic outdoor playtime. 4. Giving them a natural treat before leaving for the day. 5. Going for a walk and playing fetch in the afternoon. 6. Cozying up on the sofa to watch films in the evening. 7. Providing Kong and puzzle toys for mental enrichment. This routine ensures the pets are happy, healthy, and well-loved.

About: I’m super active and love being outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of walks, play, and fresh air while they’re with me. There’s nothing better than seeing a dog happy and relaxed in nature; whether we’re on a trail, at the beach, or just chilling in the garden. I’m reliable, always on time, and treat every dog like they’re my own. Lots of care, cuddles, and attention included! I’m currently working through an agency, which means I have full control over my shifts, so I’m super flexible and can fit dog sitting in whenever it’s needed. I often work night shifts, so if I’m ever away, it’s usually just during the night when your pup is fast asleep anyway. The rest of the time, I’m around to give them plenty of company, cuddles, and outdoor time. I’ve grown up around dogs and currently live with our lovely 14-year-old family dog, Sansa. I’ve helped her through spinal issues and mobility challenges, so I’m confident caring for dogs with extra needs or health concerns. I’ve also looked after dogs of all ages, temperaments, and energy levels; including those with special diets or medication routines. At my home, dogs have access to a secure garden for fresh air and playtime, and I make sure the environment stays calm and relaxed. I take introductions with other dogs slowly and thoughtfully, always prioritising comfort and safety. If I'm sitting your furry friend, you can count on a loving, stress-free space where they’ll be treated like family.

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. Whether sitting or boarding, I prioritise creating a nurturing and stimulating environment where pets feel safe, happy, and loved using only positive reinforcement techniques. I understand how important knowing where your pet is and what they’re doing is and I will always keep you informed and updated throughout your pets stay with me, using your preference of messages, photos or phone calls. If you would like to discuss any individual pet needs before booking a service, please reach out! I currently work full time and mainly have pet care availability in the evenings and on the weekends. Please check my availability or message me for more information. In my own home, I ensure that pets have ample space to roam, quiet spots for rest, and plenty of toys and enrichment activities to keep them engaged. I have a friendly collie who loves making new friends and showing them around the house. I can provide scheduled feeding and toilet breaks as well as tailoring walks to your dog’s needs. If your dog loves affection, I can provide a warm and loving atmosphere making them feel right at home. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritise maintaining their familiar routines and surroundings to minimise stress. I will adhere closely to any instructions given regarding feeding, medication, and exercise, whilst also providing companionship. Whether in my home or yours, I strive to provide the highest level of care, ensuring peace of mind for you and a positive experience for your pet.

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!

“Meg was brilliant and took excellent care of our cocker spaniel. I would highly recommend Meg. Thank you again 😊🩷”

Jodie H.
“We couldn't be happier with the care Caithlin and Jodie provided for our energetic Boxer and special needs Puggle while we were away. They house-sat for us for over two weeks, and it was such a relief knowing our pups were in such capable hands. They followed all our instructions perfectly, including their quirky feeding routines, and ensured our dogs stuck to their routine. We particularly appreciated the detailed daily updates and knowing Roxy and Ronnie were getting consistent, long walks. Communication dropped after the first week as they settled in but that's truly nitpicking considering how well they looked after everything else. Caithlin and Jodie are reliable, caring, and true animal lovers. Highly recommended for house sitting and dog walking”
