Dog Walking in West Devon

“Sophie is a wonderfully friendly, kind and confident young lady with lots of experience and compassion. Wolfie is a big (35kg) very strong boy who, I'm sorry to say, is a pain on the lead, so I was very nervous about getting a walker to take him out whilst my Mum (nearly 70) looked after him for the week. Sophie was amazing, from our initial meeting to introduce her to Wolfie, he loved her and seemed very happy to be around her. She was confident with him and very loving. My mum fed back to me that, Wolfie was always happy to go with Sophie and came back from his walks tired, happy and satisfied. Sophie kept in touch with me via the app, posting info and lots of lovely photos of my boy having fun, and was intouch with my Mum regularly to confirm pick up times etc...Sophie also accessed the house to collect and return Wolfie on a couple of occasions when my Mum was out, without any issue or concerns. I came home from my week away, to a happy health dog and I will certainly be calling on Sophie to look after my boy, for work trips and holidays in future.”

About: I have previously been employed as a dog walker and pet sitter for my local area through the company We Love Pets. I was trusted with walking up to 5 dogs a day, all independently so they got the care that was right for them. I am confident with all breeds regardless of how big or strong. I have also got experience in dog sitting, especially with nervous dogs. I have previously dog sitted for very nervous dogs who take a while to get used to a new person and have been able to earn their trust. I currently work around school term times. I work Monday to Friday and can house sit or dog walk at weekends. I will be off work completely from the end of July until the start of September. I am very aware of the different needs animals might have when being taken care of in their own home. I have previously worked with dogs that were escape artists so am aware of the need to keep them safe.

About: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals—from playful pups and curious cats to sheep and other farm animals. Growing up surrounded by animals, I’ve always had a deep connection with them and a love for the outdoors. I regularly care for our own animals as well as those belonging to family and friends. Now, I’m expanding that care to others, offering trustworthy and reliable pet sitting services while I continue my studies. Whether it’s daily check-ins, feeding, walking, or just giving your pet some company, I’ll treat them like one of my own. You can count on regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away—and to make sure your pets are happy, safe, and well looked after. I’ve just finished my A-Levels and currently work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to fit around your schedule. I also have a full driving license, making it easy for me to travel to you—reliably and on time. I’m also a respectful and tidy guest in any home. I understand that entrusting someone with both your pet and your space is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll make sure your home is looked after just as carefully as your pet—leaving it just as you left it, or better.

Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more relaxed and laid-back, I provide reliable, loving care tailored to their individual needs. I take pride in following any specific instructions to ensure their feeding, walking, and playtime schedules remain consistent, making sure they feel at ease.

About: I am a highly conscientious, friendly and responsible house sitter and I will take immaculate care of your home and creatures. I live in a shared house so am seeking live in sits in Bristol or London ( either as a one off or on an ongoing basis) where I can spend quality time with the furry ones as well as enjoy the calmness of a solo space which I really appreciate. I am also available as a walker. I am very friendly and affectionate towards the ones that want cuddles, love walking in parks and come with experience and lovely reviews. Do take a look at my profile and if you feel I suit I am available for any questions, video call or phone to book me up to help. I look forward to meeting your beloved. Warmest wishes, Ella Part time, wfh so plenty of scope throughout the week and weekend to do live in sits or incorporate dog walks and indeed some kitty cuddles. It depends very much on the need of the individual dog / dogs and cats. I have done some lovely sits to date and ensured their routine is adhered to and as much as possible a sense of continuity is created. I am a reliable caring and conscientious sitter and have cared for many dogs, cats and even farms. I have experience of older dogs and those with complex conditions and am well aware of the need for pace, adaptability with weather condition and meticulous care for sound, space and lead etiquette when out in the world.

About: I’ve been looking after dogs for over 10 years! I have looked after all sizes of dogs front a shitzu to Rottweilers! All animals have the right to be treated and cared for correctly and have their health put first! I strongly believe all the stuff about bad breeds is wrong all breeds have the ability to snap but it’s all about the way a dog is brought up not the dog/ breed! I have been looking after cats for 8 years. I also believe cats have the right to be happy healthy and well cared for. They should also be allowed to roam as they wish as long as they are healthy and other people shouldn’t be feeding other people animals I have a large house where cats can roam as they wish and can’t get out and would be well and truly cared for and always well looked after. I am also happy to feed cats in there own home if better for the cats health if they would get stressed out somewhere new!

“Harriet was amazing, and looked after a Tinker so we'll Her communication was really great and she just got on with Tinkers routine without any fuss, which gave me such great peace of mind while I was away.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. In my younger years, I worked at a local cattery and kennels, where I learned the importance of patience, routine, and understanding each pet’s unique personality. Currently, I provide regular pet sitting for a wonderful family with a high-energy border collie and an independent cat—so I’m very comfortable managing different temperaments and needs. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, cuddles, or calm companionship, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well looked after while you’re away. Your furry family members are in caring hands—I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am a therapist. I work Monday to Thursday. Thursday I work currently three hours online between 5pm-8pm and I’m hoping to get clients around lunchtime but I’ll have spaces in between for walks, feeding and cuddles. My only requirement is good WiFi! I currently live with my parents whilst I set up my business, so the change of scenery would be welcome! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I ensure a secure, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play and relax. I take all necessary precautions, including keeping doors and gates secure, supervising playtime, and maintaining a calm, clean environment. Rest assured, your furry friend will feel at home and safe with me!

I also have experience with small animals, rescuing hamsters since 17. I’m currently studying nursing at university but my course is mainly online so I spend a lot of time at home. Due to the nature of my course there are periods in which I will not be home for prolonged periods of time thus affecting my availability. The days I am not at university are mainly spent at home but I would also be available for walks, drop ins and boarding either at my house or yours. I have a fenced garden for outdoor play and an open plan downstairs of the house. I live within walking distance for nice walks and on a quiet street for outdoor adventures. My partner would assist to look after the animal at times, he has experience with cats and dogs. I am DBS checked through my work and university.
