1. Ashleigh A.

“Ashleigh was fantastic with our staffy Bobbin! We needed someone very last minute to look after Bobbin and Ashleigh was more than happy to look after him at such short notice. She came round the house beforehand to meet him and listened carefully to Bobbin's care instructions. Ashleigh kept us up to date with messages, pictures and videos and he had such a wonderful day with her! Bobbin can be a bit anxious but he settled really well with Ashleigh and I know she took amazing care of him. He had lovely walks, playtime and cuddles 🥰 I would 100% use Ashleigh again to look after Bobbin and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable dog sitter 😊”

“Chloe is amazing! I always feel so much more relaxed when she is looking after our Rocky - and so does he! Chloe has been so accommodating and understanding during of all our plans and loves Rocky as if he is her own. Would definitely recommend Chloe!”


3. Louise R.
“My sister, Louise has looked after my cats many times over the last decade or more, most recently earlier this year. Having grown up with and cared for pets her whole life louise has a level of care and compassion for animals like no other I’ve seen, even at Christmas she always has presents and treats for my boys. Louise usually stays at my home when i am away on holidays and she always leaves the house spotlessly clean and even puts out the recycling while I'm away. I know she also shows this level of care when looking after my parent’s dog too. Last year Louise and I went on a family holiday together and i found it extremely difficult trusting anyone else with my boys after Louise had done such a fantastic job of taking care of them for so many years. I wouldn’t think twice about recommending louise to anyone looking for a pet sitter, whether the pet were a cat, dog, hamster or indeed and animal.”


4. George K.

“George was really understanding about Phoebe's delicate nature, and loved and looked after her as I would do. He is an excellent house guest, and I would highly recommend him. I shall be booking George again when I next go away.”


5. Edita C.

“I highly recommend Edita, she looked after our puppy for us this weekend and has done a fantastic job. She has been kind, loving and taken her out for some lovely walks. It means a lot to trust someone with your dog, but Edita made us feel comfortable about leaving our puppy with her and it was clear to us that she’s a dog person and spent lots of time doing nice things with her. Thank you so much ❤️”


6. Karen H.

“We were a little worried about having a house sitter for our two pugs. We found Karen on Rover.com and she was trustworthy, bonded with our dogs very quickly and really looked after them very well. We received photos every day whilst away and Karen was the perfect house sitter. We could see that our dogs were very happy on our return. Thank you Karen”


7. Molly F.

“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!”


8. Molly O.

“the second time in as many months Molly has house sat at our cottage to look after Wilbur, Harvest and a pond full of fish - we returned after five days away in Poland to very happy and contented pets - Molly also managed to catch and free a Magpie which had flown into our conservatory - much credit to her.”


9. Holly C.

“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!”


10. Grace & Rhodri S.

“Really happy with Grace and Rhodri, was able to enjoy my wedding knowing our dogs were safe and happy. They sent regular updates and photos, the girls seemed super happy, and the house was left clean and tidy. Will definitely use again if needed, highly recommend”


11. Charlotte H.

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


12. Lisa C.
“Lisa is a brilliant pet sitter! She cares for my rabbit and dog Ritz when I go on holidays and he had a great time🥰 she sends me loads of photos of him playing and getting attention. I would recommend Lisa if you want a reliable pet carer ☺️”


13. Emily S.
About: I’ve had working Springer Spaniels in the home my whole life and started helping out with them as soon as I was old enough to! They are my babies, I have also cared for many of my friends and family’s pets across the years. Some with a dairy farm I grew up visiting, my dad keeps bees there. Some neighbours with an old tortoise called torts! Dogs of all sizes, from st Bernese to jack russels. I work 4 days a week between the hours of 8-6 shift start and end times changing daily so will be out of the home for 7-9 hours a day but if the home is in Exeter I can come back on my break to let pets out etc and can walk pets before and after work easily! I will play with the person or take them for walks, or merely spend time in their company if they’re a more slow living pet! Feeding, any medications needed, keeping water refreshed are all given priorities in my care. I am open to most forms of care as I understand every pet has very differing needs!


14. Angela & Neal W.

“Angie went to great pains to make sure everything went perfectly during her stay. Our girls were looked after really well and Angie kept us up to date with photos and messages. Thanks Angie.”


15. Jude H.
“Jude was always great at caring for our dog, whether that be walking him during the day whilst we were at work or for a weekend when we went away somewhere we couldn’t take him with us.”


16. Joseph W.
“Joe is always professional. He is friendly and very reliable. Joe cares for all animals but does show a great rapport with dogs. They love him! Joe has looked after my own dog .I know she is cared for expertly and lovingly and to my expected standard. I have no hesitation in recommending Joe to look after anyone’s pet.”


17. 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.”

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.
