House Sitting in Torridge

“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.”

“Emma was absolutely wonderful. I did not worry at all about leaving the dogs and house in her care as she inspired me with confidence from our first meeting. She had a difficult task ahead of her and was unphased by any of it. I have two wolfhounds, the younger one is a puppy and she was in season while Emma stayed; added to this were the obvious challenges a puppy can pose, trying its teeth out on this and that. My other dog is an anxious Kerry Blue terrier rescue with a very chequered and challenging history; Emma was sensitive to his needs and handled him beautifully. She also had to contend with thatchers working on the building while she was here, keeping them happy with refreshments when required! I cannot recommend her highly enough and wouldn’t hesitate to ask her again. Not only an extremely competent and cheerful lady but absolutely dependable and trustworthy in every which way. Huge thank yous to you, Emma 🤗”

“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.”

“Kelsey was very attentive and loving toward Lulu. She varied her walks to keep her stimulated. Kelsey made a couple of pre visits to walk with me and Lulu in order to get to know her and for me to be happy with leaving Lulu with her. Overall, very pleased.”

“I could not have wished for a more caring, thoughtful and understanding person to look after my furbabies. I had daily pupdates with photos and my hormonal Shih Tzu was seduced by Giles and Holly turning into a big marshmallow. Monty fell in love the moment they walked through the door and Boris wants to be adopted by them. They get the highest praise possible, what a lovely couple.”

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.

“Diana has been fantastic! She has communicated swiftly and consistently but most importantly our dog has been loved and cared of so well. Couldn’t recommend Diana more ☺️”

About: I have grown up with dogs (My first word was my dog- Rolley!) and I see them as a essential part of my life and routine. I am now our lucky enough to have my own ; little Nellie. Therefore I am confident with both younger dogs to older dogs with more complex needs. I am familiar with cockapoos and cocker spaniels, but love all breeds. I have a medium sized enclosed garden, but are lucky enough to live in walking distance to two woods and a 20 minute drive to local dog friendly beaches! I am lucky enough to work from home, After work my favourite thing is to walk Nellie, meaning that dogs are rarely left. (Only if it is too hot for her on the beach!) I have a my own 1 1/2 year old cocker spaniel called nellie, she is very happy and loving with other dogs and loves evening cuddles My garden is enclosed. I would walk your dog on the lead at all times, unless superficially instructed. I am are also very happy to leave your dog in a different room to nellie, if/when we popped out. I have a crate if required, and am used to crate trained dogs. (Nellie is crate trained.) All dogs if travelling a car will be put a in their own car crate or on a doggy seatbelt. (As per the the law.) All dogs will be walked twice a day for at least 30 minutes*( unless you request otherwise, or there is extreme weather.)

“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.”

“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 ?”

“Nicky is an incredibly kind and friendly lady whose care and concern for us and our cats for our first sitting was incredible. She obviously loves animals and knows how to relate to cats. She put us at ease with loads of phots and videos. It’s reassuring to know that we can get away for a while and she is there to keep watch on them.”

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 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 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'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: 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.
