House Sitting 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.”

“We couldn't be happier with Holly and Giles and their dog sitting over four days. During the meet and greet, before accepting the request, they instantly hit it off with our dog and were very thorough with questions abouts our dog's needs and routines. Holly was always quick to respond to messages and sent us pictures and videos during the actual dog sitting. As well as treating our dog with respect, it was clear they also treated our house with respect during their stay.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life and my 2 staffys are my actual world. I love bullying breeds particularly🥰 I have both a younger dog-so can cope with the puppy stage and also an older dogs which likes to take life a slow pace. So can cater for any age. My job is extremely flexible and plan my own diary, so can try my best to work around your pets needs. I also work from home alot so can stay with pets most the day if required and work allows. Regular let outs during the day. I am very trusting and pets will always come first, as I appreciate they are part of the family also. Happy to adapt to each dogs routine and household.

“Richard and Emma were wonderful sitters, I will definately be using them again in the future, they looked after my 2 dogs for a week and I was nervous to have a stranger take care of them but they soon put my mind at ease. Very experienced with all breeds of dog and temperament (i have a reactive one!) they kept me up to date with video's and messages so i knew the dogs were having a great time! I came back to 2 very happy pups and a tidy house, Highly recommended!”

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'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: I began by independently fostering a pregnant cat who I rescued from the streets, providing housing and care throughout her pregnancy and raising her kittens to ensure their health and development. This experience led me to a role at an animal rescue, where I worked for approximately a year caring for rescue cats and dogs, managing all aspects of their care. A key part of this work involved confidence building, to ensure good quality of life. Consistent handling to help the animals feel secure and settle into their new environment. I’m currently working from home so I will be in your dogs/cats company for majority of the day. Typically I do a daily big walk for myself so this is something your dog can potentially join in on. I live in a small studio apartment in the country side with a large garden (not fenced in) lots of land surrounding me, and many nature walks. There are friendly dogs on the property which your dog can befriend depending on your preference for that.

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!

About: Greetings! With a genuine passion for animals and over a decade of practical experience, I offer reliable and compassionate pet care services. Over the past 10 years, I've had the pleasure of engaging with a variety of pets, specializing in the care of dogs – from large and boisterous to small and shy. My journey into pet care started organically around 5 years ago, evolving into 21 highly rewarding and mostly longer-term house-sitting opportunities. Dogs hold a special place in my heart, and my personal companion, a rescue of almost 13 years, accompanies me on every adventure. In addition to canine care, I've successfully tended to the needs of horses, goats, rabbits, and birds, and maintained marine fish and coral environments. Administration of medications, including tablets, injections, and other forms, is within my realm of expertise. Choosing me as your pet sitter means entrusting your beloved companions to a seasoned caregiver who values their well-being and happiness. Let's make your time away worry-free and filled with contented pets. As a self-employed business owner running a boutique digital agency with a fully remote work structure, incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine seamlessly aligns with my flexible schedule. Working remotely provides the advantage of being present for our furry friends throughout the day. In my daily routine, breaks for walks, playtime, and feeding become cherished moments of connection with pets under my care. These breaks not only ensure their well-being but also serve as rejuvenating intervals for me, fostering a balanced work-life dynamic. Whether it's a midday stroll or a quick game of fetch, these interactions contribute to a positive and thriving environment for the pets. Every week, I allocate dedicated time for more extended adventures and activities, catering to the specific needs and preferences of each pet. This structure allows for a harmonious blend of work responsibilities and attentive pet care, creating a fulfilling routine for both myself and the animals. The flexibility inherent in my remote work setup further allows me to adapt swiftly to any unexpected pet care requirements, ensuring that their comfort and happiness remain a top priority. In essence, my routine revolves around creating a balanced and enjoyable environment for pets, enriching their lives while maintaining the productivity of my professional endeavours. Currently, my primary focus is providing dedicated pet care within the familiar surroundings of their own homes. This approach ensures that pets experience minimal disruption to their routines and feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. My pet care routine typically includes: Playtime and Exercise: Engaging in play and exercise is an integral part of my care routine. I tailor activities to each pet's preferences and energy levels, whether it's a spirited game of fetch or a stroll around the neighbourhood. Affection and Companionship: Pets thrive on companionship, and I prioritize spending quality time providing affection, belly rubs, and any other attention they may crave. Updates for Pet Owners: Communication is key. I keep pet owners informed with regular updates, including photos, videos and messages, to provide peace of mind about their furry family members. Starting in June, I am excited to announce that I will be expanding my services to include home boarding. This will offer a home-away-from-home experience for pets, where they can enjoy a secure and loving environment.
