House Sitting in West Devon

About: I've always had a real love for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether its heading out for long walks, exploring new routes, or sitting relaxing together at home. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness and plenty of attention, I will always make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved and safe while in my care. I've looked after dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities, from young pups who love adventure to older dogs who prefer a smaller stroll and a quiet cuddle. I'm reliable, attentive and committed to keeping each dogs routine consistent, helping them feel safe and secure whilst their owner is away. Your dogs well-being and happiness always comes first 🐾♥️ I currently work part time four days a week, which means I have Mondays, Tuesdays and Saturday's off- perfect for long walks, extra cuddles and plenty of playtime🎾 On the days I'm working, I can be available in early mornings or evenings, and am always happy to be flexible if you need me at specific times. Just let me know what works best for you and your pet and I'll do my best to accommodate your needs🫶 Your dogs safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I provide calm and caring environments where dogs can feel relaxed and at home. My garden is fully fenced and gated, giving dogs a secure space to explore and play while having some fresh air. I always keep a close eye on the dogs in my care, whether we are out on a walk or relaxing in the garden. I make sure gates are locked, leads are secure and routines and behaviour plans are followed so owners can have complete peace of mind. I care for dogs deeply and want them to feel part of the family whilst with me ♥️

“Emma and Rich did a pet sit for us in our own home and was booked at very short notice. As you can imagine I was very worried about leaving my pets (and my home) in the hands of strangers especially my dog as he’s never been looked after out of the family. Emma and Rich did an amazing job at making me feel at ease with the whole situation. They kept me updated with photos whilst we were away and communicated well. The pets were looked after amazingly! I would definitly recommend and use again. Thanks again for saving the day and allowing us to go on holiday as a family and taking the stress out of the situation I was in when I contacted you 😊”

“First time I've ever left the dogs with anyone and I couldn't have chosen someone better. The girls had the best time, enjoyed walking and relaxing with David. I was kept up to date with photos too, which was lovely. Thank you. Will definitely be booking again.”

About: I have many years experience looking after all types of pets from hamsters 🐹 to dogs 🐶 I have had pets all my life and currently have a dog called Pip and two bunnies called Fred & Ginger! I also have an animal first aid certificate and a current DBS. I currently work part-time so I have plenty of spare time to look after your fur babies! I can drive and have no commitments so happy to work around you & what you need. I can offer pet sitting in your own home from drop in's to dog walking to overnight/holiday stays. Happy to travel if needed.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats of all sizes, from energetic Belgian Malinois to cuddly Cockapoos, as well as family cats. At 6’4 and 100kg I am happy with all sizes of pets. I’m comfortable walking multiple dogs at once and have experience caring for senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. Whether they’re playful and high-energy or older and relaxed, I truly believe the more the merrier and treat every pet like family. I currently work shift patterns so the bookings will be made for times where I am off work the whole time. This means I will have all the time day and night to attend to your pets needs All pets will be looked after as if they are my own. No matter the breed, size, gender, of the animal their car will be tailored to their specific needs

About: My experience with just dealing with pets is having my own animals from young. I've had fish, hamster, guinea pigs and dogs. My first dog was a rescued Boxer, Ruben. My first proper puppy was a Pug, Dexter, then we rescued Alfie another Pug at the same age as Dexter (around 4yrs.) My house sitting and pet experience was living in an annexe above my landladys garage. She had a working cocker, Zeva. She'd trust me with looking after her house and Zeva while she had to go away for work or on holiday. That was over 2yrs of me living there. I even took Zeva away with my boyfriend and I as we went to Bournemouth for a weekend I was looking after her. We got a pet friendly accomodation and she had the best time on the beach and in the sea playing with her ball. I work 3 days a week, so have plenty of time for sitting and walking pets. I like to walk daily, so dog walking is well suited with my lifestyle. I care for pets in an owners home by communicating with the owners in the first instance to see what responsibilities they expect of their sitter to make sure their animals are in perfect care.

“Joe came and done a sit for us at my house. He was brilliant and looked after our old boy and a young sprocker pup. Joe updated us regularly. We would highly recommend him. Thank you Joe”

About: I have just returned to Plymouth after spending 2 years in Australia, part-time pet sitting with my partner, Zach! I am looking to start this again now I am back in Plymouth, but full time. In Aus, I was registered on Madpaws and had regular clients who would board with me at my house / I would provide walking services. I mainly looked after dogs and had a range of ages and breeds. I always do the upmost to build a trusting relationship with the pet, to ensure they feel safe and at home when they’re in my care, with regular updates to the owners guaranteed. Prior to moving to Aus, I volunteered at my local animal shelter in Plympton - walking dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments and backgrounds. In addition to this, I have grown up with an array of pets, including cats, guinea pigs, rabbits etc., and have a genuine love for animals. I am a qualified health professional and usually work in a medical environment - but I am currently having a break from that given I have just moved back to Plymouth, so I have lots of free time to give to your furry friends. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have a query! I am a qualified health professional but have decided to take a break as I have just relocated back to Plymouth after living in Australia for 2 years! Therefore, my time would be completely devoted to looking after your furry friends I have a fenced garden and a large house with a lane for walking dogs and a park nearby. I can drive, so I love to take dogs out for a variety of different walks to different locations depending on owner and dogs preference. We have a cat at home that my mum looks after but they aren’t fussed by other animals.

“Brilliant. Above and beyond.”

“Liana stepped in at the last minute to look after our dogs after a previous dog sitter who we booked last October let us down, this was an important occasion my daughter’s wedding. I was amazed how calm she was and I felt at ease straight away. Asking someone to look after 8 dogs albeit small ones is a big ask, but she was brilliant and I really hope they behaved for her! I would definitely ask to rebook her again, and I’m grateful to my friend who recommended Rover.”

About: Hi, I’m Abby, I'm 22 years old and love dogs!! I had many dogs growing up and was in charge of looking after them, but unfortunately I can't have any pets now due to my lifestyle. I haven’t got any kids around so no need to worry if your dog isn’t great with children. I love going for walks with your furry friends - I live right next to a woodland area, which is perfect for going on walks. I am a full-time nurse, working 4 days/week, and my schedule does vary by the week, but the calendar will be updated regularly. I am a full-time nurse, so I spend 4 days/week working at the hospital, however when I am not on working, I am often available. I would love to spend my days off looking after your furry friends, walking them during the day and keeping them busy! I live in a home with a small enclosed garden. My home is right next to a large park/woodland area with many paths and routes to walk your dogs.

About: I've had a Weimaraner since I was seven years old and now also have two small pups, a Sheba/Husky mix and a Havapoo. I am a lifelong dog lover with over five years of trust pet-sitting experience. I'm comfortable with all dog sizes and cared for them with love, patience and lots of playtime. I can care for your pups, weekdays, evenings or weekends. As a dog lover, this is my ideal job and with a very flexible schedule can work with you to best meet your needs. I have my own transportation and can readily come to your house to walk or care for your pets. If needed, I'm available to care for your pups in your home as well.

“Kizzie is a kind, intelligent, calm & knowledgeable dog sitter. She looked after my dog who is only 4 months old for one week, and I have come back to a calm and well behaved little puppy. Thank you Kizzie for your care and attention to baby Molly. I would wholly recommend Kizzie. She kept me informed all week and I wasn’t worried at all about Molly. Thanks again.”

“This was our first time using Rover and we were delighted to have found Ruiradh. Our dogs were so well looked after. We received regular updates too. It felt strange entrusting our house and our boys to someone we’d only met for an hour or so before. It all worked out brilliantly. Ruiridh will certainly be our first choice in future.”

“Sophie is trustworthy, helpful, reliable and caring. She took care of my dog, whilst also looking after my home, when I was away. I was kept updated at all times and felt very reassured and confident to leave all that's precious to me in her care.”
