Dog Sitters in Dartmouth

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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 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,

Gemma is fantastic! She takes excellent care of my cats, is patient and kind, and always updates me promptly. Highly recommended!

Gemma is an absolute god send when it comes to our boy Oscar! Oscar has been walking with Gemma for just under a year and I have found her reliable, professional and a real dog lover. Oscar has previously been some what challenging for other walkers but Gemma has reassured me that by working together we get the consistency and commitment that Oscar needs. When I get home Oscar is clearly well exercised and enjoying his nap after his walks. Communication is great and Gemma is very accommodating if we need to change days around due to work commitments. High recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I can’t speak highly enough of Gemma. If I were more organised, I would have written a review months ago. My dog adores her and she’s professional, loving and cares for all dogs as if they were her own. I trust Gemma implicitly and feel such relief that my beloved retriever is having such fun when I can’t walk her. It’s brilliant for socialising too. A pup’s play date! Thank you for everything Gemma!

Its lovely to know that while I'm at work our dog Arlo is out having the time of his life with Gemma. Gemma is extremely reliable, trustworthy and fantastic value for money as Arlo gets an adventure everyday! The thing thats strikes me most about Gemma is how much she genuinely cares for him and all of her dogs and clients. I could not recommend her highly enough.

My dog loves Gemma so much, she squeals with delight when Gemma collects her. Gemma is also lovely, reliable and I feel very happy to leave my dog in her care.

Gemma loves the dogs she walks like her own family. I only have to mention her name and my dog is racing to the window to look for her. Her professionalism, patience and love of dogs is why I can feel safe whenever my dog is with her and I am able to highly recommend her.

So pleased to have found Gemma for my pup Smartie. She came and did a house visit to meet Smartie and chat to me. She then started taking smartie out with other dogs from a young pup and he has just come on leaps and bounds. Well socialised and very responsive to recall. He comes back having had just the best time. When he sees Gemma through the door he cannot get to her fast enough, he just adores her. Gemma is reliable and takes the upmost care of her charges I highly recommend her services.

Gemma is fabulous! Her passion for dogs was very apparent on her 1st meeting my young goldendoodle. They go on a wide variety of walks and I love it when i get photos of their expeditions. When I’m on a long day at work it’s great knowing my dog is having a fun time.Thank you Gemma!

Gemma is great with our 5 month old Bertie. She looks after him with so much care and love. Bertie has a great time every day with Wildwood walkies. Would thoroughly recommend Gemma for dog walks.

Gemma is amazing in every way. Mika our puppy has been walked by her from 3months and loves her time with her. We would not use anyone else.

Taras has been boarding at Byrer Down for many years. This is a home from home for him. He's a 10 year old Samoyed and he always comes back to me Happy, clean and well. Great find. I recommend it to others. Good people who love animals 🐶💜 …

Been using Byter down kennels for a few years. Can honestly say I wouldn't be happier leaving our dog Hugo anywhere else. Patrick and his wife are always so friendly, welcoming and accommodating. They care for the dogs with so much love and respect. Our dog, as happy as he is to come home never looks unkept or unhappy. Would definitely recommend Byter down. Thank you for everything.

My two dogs had a lovely week and where very happy and well cared for. Such a nice feeling when your away knowing they are being cared for . Thank you so much

Patrick and Clare have taken really good care of our dog Pip. I got to see where she was staying, good, clean and secure area with walking pens. She looks great on collection. Just want to say a big thank you and we will be undoubtedly booking with you again in the future.

So nice to see all the good reviews of Byter Downe, and each of them well deserved. We have used the Cooper’s for years and my wife’s father before us. Patrick and Clare have taken great care of each of our dogs and everyone of them always were happy to see them and the kennels. Can’t give them higher praise, well done to you all.

Very friendly, accommodating and well priced. They remember my dogs name and his character. It feels like leaving him with friends, when we drop him off he's keen to go and when we pick him up he's less keen to come home.

Our two dogs have been to Byter Down over the past few years and they always go there excited and looking well and happy on collection. We have a Vizsla and she is prone to dropping weight but never does during her stay here. Even after two weeks. Highly recommend ⭐️

After viewing kennels we booked our Border Collie Meg in and after picking her up today after just over 2 weeks stay we were very happy to see her fit and healthy and obviously well cared for. Will definitely book again if we need to. Thanks for looking after her

I have complete trust in Patrick and Clare. They run the kennels in a friendly and very professional manner. The dogs are always happy, never bored and very well cared for. Super kennels, always clean, great atmosphere and always time to chat! I thoroughly recommend Byter Down Kennels for any type of dog.

We have used Byter Down for years now. Pat and his team are very helpful and friendly, true animal people who our dog goes to and trusts. In my opinion this is such a good sign because animals know where sometimes we don't. I totally trust Pat and his team to take excellent care of our beloved pet and we will continue to choose Byter Down for our dog care needs.

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
