“Ashleigh was absolutely incredible with our dogs. I'm so protective of my dogs but completely trusted Ashleigh. She was so good with them, followed their feeding schedule took them out for walks and sent loads of photos! Would recommend her to anyone!”


“Amber has been brilliant and she will be our go to dog sitter from now on. Excellent at communication, sent us updates whilst we are away. Couldn’t have gone better. Thank you amber! Xx”


About: I’ve had family dogs since I was a child, mainly labs and have more recently been a puppy raiser for Guide Dogs. I’m confident handling puppies and larger breeds and also have a lot of experience and confidence with reactive dogs. Our last family dog had several health conditions so I am also happy working with older / slower dogs that just need a bit of company and fuss. I’m currently working full time but remotely so have plenty of availability to come to your home to look after your pets and give them plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Unfortunately my current role is coming to an end in Oct so wanted to explore the opportunity of providing pet services. I can be flexible in terms of dog sitting, popping in to give them some company and providing walks as well. Please drop me a message if you can’t see any availability that works for you and I will happily see if I can accommodate. Working remotely with a flexible schedule allows me to give your beloved pets plenty of attention and fuss throughout the day ensuring they have plenty of opportunities for the loo and receive the level of stimulation they require.

“Absolutely amazing service! Couldn’t recommend more! I have 4 animals 2 cats and 2 dogs all with their own little quirks and needs and Rachel managed to keep all four of them happy whilst keeping me updated throughout my holiday also kept my house super clean and tidy! We will definitely be booking Rachel again! Thank you so much 💕”


“Harriet was amazing looking after our lurcher Frankie (who suffers from separation anxiety). She put our minds at ease right away, so we could relax knowing Frankie was in good hands. We’ll definitely ask Harriet to dog sit again! 5 stars!”


“Chloe was absolutely amazing - we received lots of updates and photos throughout her stay with our chihuahua. He seemed very happy and well looked after! Cannot recommend enough!! Thanks again Chloe 😊”


“Molly was very reliable and responsive from the start. We have an elderly dog and a young large breed who is scared of his own shadow, so we were anxious about how he would cope. We didn't need to worry, Molly was great with them both. Both dogs loved her!”


“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!”


“The quality of service and care that Grace and Rhodri provide is exemplary - I am so impressed and will definitely be booking again for future holidays. We have an elderly cat and a very anxious dog who between them have fairly complex needs meaning neither could be looked after away from their home. Grace and Rhodri have been superb in making sure Moy and Jess are as happy as can be. This meant that we could relax on our holiday too. The daily updates on how things were going with photos, videos and a commentary was fantastic and so reassuring. I can't thank Grace and Rhodri enough - they're pet angels! 👼”


“Great meeting - reliable and very friendly. Very engaged with Merri's care.”


“I found Nicky very competent and supportive. I have a beagle, not the easiest dog in the world, and she made friends with him and looked after him really well. I’m more than satisfied and would highly recommend her.”


“First time using a house sitting service and had a wonderful experience. Chris and Amy took such good care of our chocolate Labrador and really respected our home. They both left the house in perfect condition and it was really reassuring knowing our dog was in his own home being taken care of. 5* recommendation.”


“Really delighted to have found Leanne, who looked after my two fur babies and stayed in my home while we were away for several nights. Absolute professional - dogs were really relaxed and calm when we arrived home which is always a good sign and the house was absolutely spotless! She messaged frequently, sending updates and reassurances. I would certainly recommend her.”


“We really enjoyed having Molly to look after Hugo. She was friendly and brilliant with him. He had such a happy day and we knew he would be very well cared for. We will definitely ask her to come again. Thank you Molly!”


About: Hi! I’m Hayley- An animal lover based in Bradninch. For the past ten years, I’ve shared my life with both cats and dogs—and currently live with my gentle companion Dougal and three wonderful rescue cats. I offer drop in's, walks (with or without Dougal, depending on your preference), and home boarding in your home. I’ve also spent years volunteering with animal rescue groups! Dougal is my absolute world, and I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in safe, loving hands. I treat every animal in my care with the same compassion and attention I’d want for my own. I work remotely and flexibly on my laptop - so i have lots of free time to walk and drop in on your lovely pets, this also means i can be around for them during the day and work from anywhere should you need boarding. My daily routine is sorting emails and going on a few lovely walks with my English Setter Dougal :) If in my own home your dog would need to be okay with Cats ( i have 3 who love dogs!) if in your own home - I can stay with my own dog Dougal should your dog be comfortable with having a pal around!

About: Fully licensed and insured for pet boarding, sitting and walking. I live in Uphill, WsM with my wife and son. In the past I have owned dogs, cats and other pets. When we lost my lovely 13 year old Border terrier, it seemed like a good idea to take up pet boarding, sitting and walking. I usually board one, occasionally two dogs, at a time from different households, but happy to board two dogs from the same household. We usually host small to medium sized dogs, and up to a maximum of three dogs. I can no longer take very large or strong dogs that pull on the lead. Our garden is a good size and secure, so your dog will always have access to the garden. I live near to Uphill’s sandy beach and wonderful countryside walks. Your dog will be very comfortable and well looked after. I work from home so your dog will never be left alone for longer than a few hours in the daytime and never alone at night. I can also do dog sitting, dog walking and possible drop in visits locally, contact me for details if you require these. North Somerset Boarding Licence Number: 042795 Pet business insurance & public liability. I work from home so your dog or cat will never be left alone for longer than a couple of hours in the daytime and never alone at night. I have a secure and safe garden so your dog will always have access to the garden as well as local beach, park and countryside walks.

About: I have taken care of my friend's dogs for over 4 years now, dogsitting, walks and vet appointments, and I feel confident to look after your pets whenever you need. I am a university student with only two days at uni with most of my time being spent at home studying on my own at home which makes my schedule very flexible. My flat has restricted windows, and there is a garden/parking which is walled in the back of my apartment block where I can take your pets for fun time on the grass.

About: I've had pets since I was small and always give them all equal care and attention. As an experienced pet, equine and livestock owner I look after all animals with the same care and attention that I give my own. I am good at sticking to a routine for any pets that may need structure, I am also flexible with my days and making sure that all animals are happy and healthy. I have a young, well behaved and crate trained cocker spaniel. I also love to make sure that your home is left in a tidy if not better condition to how it was left.

About: I am qualified Dog Handler that spent a good 10+ years within the Security Industry working with Patrol and Personal Protection dogs. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes but have plenty confidence and experience with the big ones. I am currently working Ad-Hoc as and when I choose.. so I have plenty of time to help out with your dog/cat needs and requirements. I would always be very vigilant with a pet making sure they are happy, safe and cared for. I have adequate transport to take pets to the local park.

Olivia S.
“I cannot recommend Olivia highly enough from the very first meet-and-greet, I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable, caring hands. Olivia is professional, punctual, and, most importantly, genuinely passionate about animals. Every walk is tailored to my dog’s needs and energy levels, if my dogs need a quick walk while I’m at work or looking after overnight whilst I'm away I know my doggo could not be in better hands. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like their own, look no further.”

“I can't recommend the lovely Hayley enough! She's the only person I'd trust to look after my little dog Wilson. She really took the time to listen what Wilson does and doesn't like (he's a terrier, so can be a bit of a menace 😂) and she had no problem with me ringing her for a check in, just to reassure me he was all okay and behaving himself! I'll definitely be using Hayley again.”

Nick M.
“Nick & his family are great with dogs. My collie loves them all. They have looked after my dog several times; for up to a week or more. She is always very happy to see them. I have total confidence in their ability to care for my dog and would totally recommend Nick & his family to dog sit.”


Ali H.
“I cannot recommend Ali more highly - he has looked after my two dogs for weeks, and helped me with my friend’s dog as well. He adapts to any of the dogs’ requirements and treats them with such respect and care. He is trusted to stay at my house. He has taken dogs to the vet for me and conveys all information immediately and with great attention to detail. I am very grateful to have Ali to help with the dogs.”
