Kris and Rob were very welcoming. I stayed over the night before they left so that we could get to know each other, house, and cats. They were quite warm and welcoming with a ton of good travel stories. Maggie and Chloe have fun characters. Maggie runs away when she sees you, but once you sit down on the couch she often comes for pets and rubs. She'll still run away once you're away from the couch :). Chloe did her own thing for a full week before she started vocalizing and approaching for pets and rubs. I gave her her space. She needs to smell your hand first and give you permission to pet, though. The place is gorgeous in a gorgeous place and has all that you could need for your stay. Kris and Rob provided very clear guidance and contacts. Recommended restaurant: Via Rosa, a yummy Italian restaurant. Thanks for sharing your home, Kris and Rob.
I had a delightful experience during my recent housesit. The home was meticulously clean and had a welcoming atmosphere. The home was very organized and it easy for me to navigate and feel at home. Supermarkets and restaurants were close by. I enjoyed exploring the surround areas as well. There were hiking trails not too far away. Ann and her husband were welcoming and it was a pleasure to meet them.

Our dog has been going to Animals at home Torbay for a few years. Very happy with everything they do. We use them for daycare & boarding. We feel very at ease when we are away that she is looked after like one of the family. Highly recommend.
Our cat Rosemarie needed some dentistry doing in Newton Abbot. Richard arranged for Liam to take her in the pet ambulance and quite frankly the service was first class! I can't thank you both enough for what would have been a difficult day. I'd give you six stars if I could! Recommended!
Would highly recommend. We have been using their services for many years to take care of our cats and have always been very happy with their services. After recently losing the last of our two cats they were very compassionate and helpful in making a difficult time just a little bit easier. Once we decide to take on another pet we will be looking forward to using their services once again with no hesitation. Thank you to the whole team.
Alfie and Bailey loved their stay and would have stayed longer but we dragged them back home. Excellent service. Couldn't be more pleased! Strongly recommend and will definitely use again! Many thanks Richard and Debbie. Steve and Beatrice Kaye, Paignton.
Have not left my rabbits much before as I have quite a few and they can get very stressed quickly but left them with Richard and Debbie and have come home to very calm happy rabbits, would definitely use them again and definitely recommend this couple.
'Animals At Home' in Paighton is the perfect home-from-home for our Poppy to stay. Debbie & Richard are both professional and caring and Poppy adores them! She has made a number of playmates and is in love with Alfie. 💘 …
Great service and reasonable. Looked after my cat in his own home. Didn't have to stress him out going to a cattery and knew he was being cared for. Will definitely use again.
Wonderful place where my dog goes when I'm on holiday. They are so nice and I don't think he wants to come home!!
Very goof
Very professional Service & very kind
100% recommended. Stevie, Lorna and the Pluto's team are amazing with our nervous and anxious rescue dog who has behavioural quirks. The professional approach together with the experience brought means our dog is happy and loves spending time with them. In addition, we've been able to leave him overnight with Stevie which was a huge success. The team are always happy to be flexible and often are able to take last minute bookings for walks. Thank you so much for your continued assistance, we wouldn't be where we are without you.
Stevie and Becky go above and beyond to help you and your pets. My terrier was very withdrawn after losing his canine pal and it made his barking at every other dog he passed worse. They took the time to introduce him gently to other dogs on walks and they are so patient with him when he goes on his 'play dates' with other dogs (Barkers Social). It has really improved his confidence with other dogs (as well as his recall at the age of 11) and I can't thank them enough. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them, as I love how responsible and trustworthy they are too. My dog absolutely loves them, which is great!
After using previous dog walkers and doggy day care, Pluto's Pet Care really stands out above the rest. Their knowledge and understanding of animals, and general approach really sets them apart. Because of this, I have every trust in them which is so comforting to know that my dog is in such good hands.
Pluto’s are great with my German shepherd. They understand his needs and ensure he has fun safely. They are also on hand for advice and support. Highly recommend!
Huxley loves his walks with Becky and Stevie and gets so excited when Becky comes to collect him. His confidence has come on in leaps and bounds and has helped him to make lots of doggie friends.
So thrilled with Stevie and the services they offer.This is a very thorough and professional business .She came and met my dog first,so friendly and put my mind at ease.This will definitely be my go to dog service from now on.My dog was very well cared for and lots of reassurance from Stevie when she first took him out,Even photos sent to me of the wonderful time he was having.Very trustworthy company 😀
Stevie is fantastic with my puppy. Highly recommended
My Dogue de Bordeaux puppy had a lovely stay with Kirstyn. I was worried that he wouldn’t settle but he did and Kirstyn gave me updates while he was there . He is back for another stay in September.
Kirstyn is a very caring person and dogs are made to feel at home, would highly recommend
5* and more. Cannot recommend Emma and family enough to look after your dogs. Our boy has stayed a couple of times, the most recent being a 15 night stay. He was so loved and looked after during his stay there, I felt completely comfortable being abroad knowing he was being so well looked after. I loved the photo updates from Emma, and when I got home I could see just how much my boy loved Emma, her husband and children. Will not hesitate to leave him there again when we go away. The best place. Thank you Emma and Family xx
I couldn’t have asked for a more caring or kind person to look after our elderly dog woody. Emma made us feel at ease straight away and won our dog over with a piece of chicken on arrival! Emma made sure to update us throughout the day and sent photos of him resting and playing. The best sign was that he was sad when she left!
Emma is the perfect dog-walker and carer; she is so kind, knowledgeable and very professional. I booked her to look after our 3 spaniels for 14 hours on my daughter’s wedding day. She also came along to meet them the day before. Emma was lovely with them and took great care to reassure them during all the wedding chaos as they were unsettled by being in a strange place with lots of noise. One of my dogs was unwell on the day and Emma dealt with her so well. I was very grateful she was there, as were the dogs who really liked her! Emma put in a very long day for us and took the worry away on what was a very special day for our family. I can highly recommend Emma and will definitely be asking her to look after my dogs again. She’s a treasure!
Teddy adores Emma as she is such fun and he loves his walks. As a Cockerpoos he can be full on but Emma gets him to behave correctly. Always reliable and fully knowledgeable about animals. She has also cared for a friends cats. Teddy also enjoys overnight stays. Cannot praise her enough. Lovely lady, great service.
So trustworthy and flexible. We had never used a dog sitter/walker before but Emma took all our worries away. She has looked after our small terrier and retriever pup so well when we are at work and provides us with regular updates. Emma is really professional but also relaxed and friendly - someone you can happily have in your home and helps you feel really at ease with leaving your pets. We can’t recommend Dartmouth Canine Care enough!
Even though Emma advertises dog care, and we have a cat, we enlisted her twice this year to come visit our cat at our home every day when we were away. Each trip was 2 weeks long, and Emma fed her and gave her plenty of fuss and attention (when Miss Cat made an appearance...). Emma also kept houseplants from dying and post from piling up. She was totally reliable, irrespective of crazy Devon traffic due to road closures, or dreadful weather. Based on our girl's reaction, Emma is as good with cats as with dogs. We came home each time to a very contented kitty. We have total confidence in Emma and her care for our cat and our home. So pleased we found her! Thank you Emma!
Let me start by saying that I am extremely particular when I choose someone to look after my dogs. They have to be perfect. I have interviewed many people who haven’t made the grade. This may sound harsh, but because I’m asking someone to look after my dogs, who can’t speak and tell me what’s happening, because I have five large/working breed dogs, this has to be someone I feel has enough presence, capability and confidence to manage them. I have to really trust this person. From the second I met Emma, and not only my happy, waggy labs and retriever were pleased to meet her, but my neurotic “gah! New people!” spaniel also wanted to get involved, I just knew. I was leaving my dogs with Emma whilst we were all on holiday, so I had to have extra confidence in her as I wasn’t near my vet etc. I didn’t doubt her for one minute. Emma is lovely! She’s kind, caring, flexible, punctual, calm, understanding, professional and just all in all lovely! (She also takes great pictures of your pooches!) My daughter met Emma the second time she looked after the boys for us and she said “I know exactly why you trust Emma, she’s got that good person vibe. I know why you trusted her with the dogs straight away.” And that’s it really. Emma is brilliant. If you’re looking for someone to look after your dogs in The South Hams, then may I recommend Emma? Because you really won’t find anyone better.
Emma was great in all areas. I would never hesitate to call her again when in Dartmouth. Great with us. Listened kindly to specifics. Rupert took to her immediately. Absolutely first class. Thankyou.
Emma looked after Bear for us when we needed to be out for day but couldn’t take him with us. He is very particular about who he likes and dislikes but took to her immediately and didn’t miss us at all. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
Emma is really friendly, completely trustworthy and reliable. She goes out of her way to be accommodating and always gives me an update and photos of playtime and walks. My greyhound Freddie absolutely adores her!
Hazy Days Pet care, looked after our two house Rabbits Pepsi and Shirlie. We felt very comfortable, happy and safe. Everything was done like we'd discussed. The rabbits seemed calm. They bonded with Lorna, which was fab! We felt our house was looked after too. Highly recommended. We will definitely be using the same service again soon. 😊
Lorna did an amazing job, looking after Muffin during our wedding. She made sure muffin was happy thought out. Would highly recommend very good with the dogs and friendly.
Lorna travelled internationally to care for our cat. We highly recommend her for her skilled approach, kindness, empathy, knowledge and experience in taking exceptional care of her. Her daily updates were very much appreciated, excellent communication throughout. Our Siamese was delighted and happy to have such a gentle, responsible and caring guardian in our absence, and it showed. Thank you.
As a fellow dog walker myself. I often see Lorna out on walks with her clients dogs, & if I felt in anyway she was not capable of controlling or having any dogs safe whilst in her care. I would not put one of my own clients dogs in her care while I am on maternity leave. She has a kind nature to her, & every dog she has with her shows how much they adore her. Highly recommended.
Fantastic service, Lorna is qualified and experienced, but above all she is passionate and had the best interest of my pets at heart. Nothing was too much trouble. Great value, trustworthy and reliable. I noted one negative review on Google , this is a million miles away from my experience and as someone who has over 15 years experience teaching Animal Science I can vouch for Lorna's knowledge and competence.
Lorna recently looked after my two cats Talis and Luca and she was brilliant. Very professional and caring. Having not left my cats before with someone I did not know, I was a bit nervous but after meeting her before I went away I felt very confident as it was obvious that she loves animals. Would definitely recommend her and will use her again.
I am keen to express my thanks to Lorna who kindly supported me last week when my normal dog walker was quite unwell and my husband working away and myself full time working, I was in a state of panic for Smartie and his dog walks. Lorna was able to pick up Smartie walks from the day I contacted her. Smartie came back a very happy pup. He really enjoyed his walks and especially when with other dogs of Hazy Days Lorna was professional, came to pick up Smartie when she said she would and just lovely to meet. You could tell that Lorna really cares for the dogs she walked and more importantly Smartie was always bouncing to get out of the door to get to Lorna when she arrived. Overall I cannot state enough how great Lorna was and would highly recommend. Thank you Lorna for your help last week and I wish you all the very best with your dog walking business.
Lorna is gentle, calm, focused on your animals well-being and obviously knowledgeable about animal behaviour and welfare. She walks my big labrador and he adores his walks with her. I trust her with a key to my home and even more valuable my dog. She is flexible with times and days, easy to arrange dates with and Merli comes back happy and tired after a run around with his best friend. Choosing her for dog walking was a great choice.
I visited Torbay and needed my Dalmatian walked as I had a meeting he couldn’t attend with me. I’m a fellow dog walker in another area of the country and I was blown away by Lornas service. She is absolutely amazing, my boy loved her. She’s highly knowledgeable, professional and anyone can clearly see she truly loves dogs. Highly recommend!
Launa has just looked after my cats whilst I was away for a few days……my boys are very timid but Launa was amazing with them they were very happy and very well cared for. She’s so in tune with both the animals needs and their owners anxiety’s. I would highly recommend her services.
Brilliant! Thank you Julia and Mike. We needed a cat sitter at short notice and Julia responded quickly, and on a Sunday! They visited to discuss our cat’s needs and took careful notes. Our cat has serious medical issues but this was not a problem. They just took it in their stride. They took great care of our old boy and everything was fine. Lovely people. Would definitely recommend! 😸
Delighted with the service provided by Paws Pals. After an initial meeting, where we had the opportunity to discuss our pet’s needs, the service was very easy to use. We’ve used them on four occasions so far and Julia and Mike are absolutely reliable and we can see that our cat has been well cared for. We will continue to use this business for her.
My two cats are regularly looked after by Julia. They love her and she provides great reassuring care when I am away from home. I've being using Julia for a number of years and know that I can call on her even last minute with work trips. She is trustworthy, reliable and caring and I would not hesitate to recommend her to any pet owners in SE London.
My parents have used Paws Pals for several years now. Whenever they go away, they always call on Julia to look after their pets. They have always been very happy with the service they have received. The pets seem to be really happy with the service too! I would recommend Julia and Paws Pals to anyone that needs their pets looking after while they are away. Julia provides a really professional service and is most accommodating.
Julia has been very reliable and accommodating looking after our two cats for the last couple of years. We've trusted her completely and never had any difficulties! Book early for holiday periods though as she's very busy!
We would highly recommend Paws Pals for anyone looking for a completely reliable and trustworthy team of pet sitters who care deeply for the animals in their care. Having moved to SE London just before Christmas, we were delighted to have found such a fantastic company who give us such peace of mind when we're away, knowng that we have left our little cat in good hands. Julia also managed somehow to squeeze us in over Christmas with hardly any notice, and gave us some really useful advice when our cat wasn't on top form, so we would highly recommend the company.
Julia looked after our cat Phoenix when we went away on one of our many holidays. It was great that we had the piece of mind that he was safe in his own home and couldn't speak highly enough of the service provided. Just to see Phoenix relaxed when we returned was all the value we needed. Julia is prompt reponding to any e-mails and would not use anyone else if we were still back in the UK. I would very much recommend Paws Pals to anyone.
We first contacted Paws Pals 5 years ago when my wife and I were both travelling extensively. At the time we needed a cat sitter for two cats for 6 weeks. Since then we have used them frequently for long and short periods of time. Over the years we have had many difficult requests, for example we adopted a stray tom cat 2 years ago that had to be kept apart from the other cats for a month and during that time we had to be away for a couple of weeks. Julia, who owns Paws Pals, did not mind in the slightest and got on with everything without any issues. We now have 3 cats who all need feeding different food, at different places and one of them is an indoor cat who requires a litter tray. I have to say Julia has been amazing over the years and we owe her so much. She is super responsive, efficient and flexible and we trust her completely. The cats never seem to miss us when we get back.
We've used Julia to feed our two cats for three years and have been very happy customers. We always come back to a clean and tidy kitchen and happy cats, and Julia is always very responsive to emails, both before and during the cat-sitting.
I met Ollie and Emma (Paws Pals) as my lovely friendly neighbours, and was delighted to have them looking after my two cats for the past few years while I've been on holiday. They not only provide an excellent and reassuring service for the humans, but very obviously love getting to know new cats. It is evident that they genuinely care for them. They get extra points for not balking at the sight of my fiddly water dispenser!
I would recommend. Lynne was professional and after meting with her prior to the appointment, I felt at ease for her to stay in my house. Lynne was looking after my dog whilst I had to travel. Thank you Lynne, I will not hesitate to book your services again. Kind regards Marika
Absolutely brilliant service. Such a relief to have found someone who I can trust to look after my elderly cat when we are away. Emma & Archie were happy to give Tinker his twice daily medication and I felt confident that he was in good hands.
My favourite pet sitters by far! I was a bit apprehensive of leaving my cat alone for a week due to her separation anxiety and general nervousness but Elle and Archie put my mind totally at ease. They sent me lots of updates, took the time to get to know my cat and give her lots of attention and cuddles. By the time I got back from my trip my cat wasn't even fussed about me being gone! Will definitely be booking with Furever Friends for any future trips!
I would highly recommend Furever Friends. An excellent service. Communication is great. My cats were tended too as hoped while away for a weekend. Respected our property. Great value for money knowing our loved pets were taken care of."
My two cats are regularly looked after by Elle, who is absolutely brilliant. She understands my cats needs and I can always rely on the best possible service. I enjoyed my holiday knowing that my pets are all looked after. Thank you Furever Friends Pet Sitting!
I needed a cat sitter at short notice, Furever Friends Pet Sitting replied to me within the hour. Elle took down all the details and asked several questions which was great. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my cat in Elle’s hands while I was going away for a week and when I came back my cat was happy and well fed. I’ll be using them again. Thank you!
Elle is a godsend! Contacted her super last minute after I had to go away urgently and had to find care for my two elderly cats. She was confident and even managed to get my oldest boys medicine down him (which I struggle to sometimes) Will only be using furever friends from now on and highly recommend to everyone!!
Elle is an amazing pet sitter and would highly recommend! She provided regular updates while we were away and lots of pictures/videos of her playing with our cat smoky. Overall we were very happy with Elle’s pet sitting service. Thanks again!
Super happy with Furever Friends! They took care of my elderly cat with compassion and got her meds down easily. Really recommend if you are looking for friendly, responsible and kind pet sitters
I am so happy to have found Furever Friends and now I know that I have someone who I can trust at short notice to be there for my fur babies. Cannot recommend highly enough for care, reliability and professionalism. One in a million!
A lovely family run business that took great care of my cats while I've been away. Felt at ease leaving them with Elle - reliable and caring! Highly recommend - will be using again!
I had to leave my darling little Teddy for the first time ever with Jo as a dog sitter and I have to say initially I was so apprehensive as he has always been looked after at home. I could not have been more happy and cannot thank Jo enough. Teddy had the time of his life, made amazing fur friends, was taken on lovely walks and even developed some new passions that I never knew he had! Jo sent loads of videos and texts whenever I asked how he was and I truly cannot be more happier. Ted came back with a spring in his step , totally relaxed and contented to the extent I worry he is bored now he is home! To see him snuggled in with her dogs and having such a good time made my holiday go so much more smoother knowing he was in capable, loving and superb hands. Thank you Jo x I will not hesitate to have him there again xx Can totally recommend your fur baby staying with Jo, you really will have no worries at all 🥰
I have met Jo on several occasions when she has brought her client’s dogs to me for grooming. Jo always goes above and beyond with dogs in her care, she has a very caring nature and has rescue dogs herself, she understands dogs needs and behavioural patterns. I would highly recommend Jo to anyone looking for someone to care for and exercise their fury friend.
Jo is a fantastic caring person who has a vast canine knowledge and our 2 dogs are always excited to see her which says it all. Would highly recommend and is much nicer than putting your dog into a kennel especially if they are rescue dogs, which she has a lot of knowledge about.
Jo was so friendly and welcoming, would use her services in future
Very difficult to get a place because they are so good, your dog is treated the same as you would, very special.would certainly recommend,
Very reliable and friendly dog walker and boarder. Lee provides an excellent pick up and drop off service. Our border terrier is always excited to see Lee and clearly enjoys his days out and overnight stays.
We could not recommend Care of the dog more highly, Sam is amazing. We have used Care of the dog multiple times and we are totally confident that our boy Woody will have a great time staying with Sam and her family. He also enjoys meeting other doggie friends on his walks and we are totally assured he gets the best possible care in a home from home environment. We wouldn't use anyone else. We are very happy knowing he's being looked after safe and well whilst we are away enjoying ourselves on our hols. And the exciting greeting we get when collecting Woody knowing he's been so happy staying at Sams. Big thank you Sam 🐕
Our 3 year old labrador loved going to his holiday home where he had a great time hanging out with Dotty. Would definitely recommend and we will certainly be back! Sam kept us updated with photos and messages and was always available should we need her. Thank you! ♥️
Sam has had Ralph on two occasions now and we have booked her for further dates as we have been completely happy and confident that she does the very best for our precious boy. Highly recommend her
Sam looked after Bazza recently when we went on holiday. He loved it, playing with the other dogs. It was like he had his own holiday. Took the time to send us photos and videos. Very experienced with a homely feel, we are over the moon that we have found Care of the Dog, highly recommended.
Archie always enjoys going to Sam's. He's well looked after and it's great to see the pictures and videos of him playing with the other dogs.
Thanks so much for looking after George for the day while we visited Devon! Highly recommend, Sam was lovely and George had a fab time with Dotty and the others! Will 100% be back when we next visit, thank you for being so accommodating!
Scout spent 2weeks with Sam. After our first meet and greet, I felt completely reassured she would be well looked after and she was. I received regular updates, photos and videos while she was there. I could not have asked for more and would not hesitate in recommending Care of the Dog.
Thank you Sam , Minnie whippet loves walks with you and dotty . She enjoyed her over night stay , its great to know she’s well cared for . Amazing ! totally recommend Sam . X
Our dog Jack stayed with Sam for 9 nights, he is nearly 3 and never stayed away before. He was happy when he came home and settled straight back into our routine. Sam sent a few photos and videos while we were away which was very reassuring. I would recommend her service very professional.
After a trial stay, our dogs were looked after by Sam. I felt reassured that Sam looks after them well and that they are happy when at hers. I’d definitely use Sam’s services again.
