Dog Sitters in
Borough Of Torbay

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

Sonya has been great with Tilley who is a rescue dog inclined to be wary of new people and knows her own mind - so it was reassuring to see them get along so well at their first meeting! Tilley has now been joining group walks for a few months and has really come on well - she's much more settled in the car, zooms and plays with the other dogs and her recall is getting much better ( although it can still be abit hit and miss so not giving up the long line just yet! ) She always comes home happy, tired and often wet since she can't resist a muddy puddle or river paddle - Sonya often sends a short video of the walk and it's great to see all the antics! Thanks Sonya!

We’re new to Devon, recently relocating from Derby and in the process of doing this, leaving our fantastic dog walker behind!! This was probably one of the hardest things to do and since then, finding a replacement in our new area that meets our needs, has been a challenge and not as easy as I thought it would be. But then I found Sonya who owns Paws and Hoofs on the Moors, she came and met me and the dogs in our own home, talked about what we were looking for and what she could offer, and generally made me feel very confident that she would be a good fit for our dogs and would make it her priority to get to know them, understand them and take care of them as if they were her own……all very important things to us, when trusting someone else to walk our dogs for us whilst we’re out at work. And she is already proving to be a good choice and is just the perfect match for us and although it’s early days, so far the pooches look like they are enjoying their walks and Sonya reports back each time, to reassure me and let me know how they’ve got on during their walk. So pleased to have met Sonya and hope our new routine continues to work well for the pooches and she enjoys walking with them. Would definitely recommend to others looking for a dog walker and can’t fault the service so far!!

We met Sonya & Bosco a few months ago after looking for a dog sitter for our dog Max for quite some time. Max instantly took to Sonya, which made us happy! Sonya is great with him and I feel very confident that if we leave Max he is in safe hands with Sonya - I would highly recommend 🙂 …

We met Sonya and Bosco a short while ago, and after a few meet ups and field walks, started to have her help us with our unsociable dog. We have utilised her both for non group walks and house sitting, which we have been extremely pleased with. On walks, our girl comes back happy and tired which is great, but most importantly when Sonya and Bosco house sat, we came back to a clean home and happy girl. Despite the awful weather Sonya had managed to keep the house clean, wash the used towels and even hoover up before we got back. Thank you Sonya and Bosco, highly recommended

My 2 dogs enjoyed their first walk with Sonya. There was torrential rain during the walk and my mutts came back soaked - but happy!! Sure they'll be as keen for the next walk.

My two labs had a lovely walk today with Sonya, they were tired and happy on their return. thank you for the photos and they look forward to next week

Sonya was a great help taking Maisie for walks when my knee was painful. She obviously liked Sonya and always came back happy.

"We had a fantastic experience with Sonya! With one dog and two cats, we were initially worried about finding the right person to care for our pets while we were away. However, Sonya exceeded our expectations with her attentive and compassionate service. Our pets were well-cared for, and we were kept updated with pictures and texts. We're more than satisfied with her services and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter."

Sonya is very knowledgeable and took great care of my spaniel on her first walk, she sent me video updates so I could see her enjoying her walk

Sonya is friendly, approachable, flexible and knowledgeable. My Red Prince loves long walks with her! Highly recommended.

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.

I cannot thank Sarah for looking after my Archie my little 22 month old JackShu. He has loved going out with his pack on a Thursday. Sarah is very trustworthy and even brings in my parcels!! Archie will miss her very much xx

Sarah is amazing and a life saver. She has looked after my two dogs in my home a few times now. She is so good with them and they love to see her, I get photo updates when I am away and I trust her with my dogs and in my home. I highly recommend her.

Sarah is absolutely brilliant with our big buff head golden retriever. He completely adores her and loves his adventure walks with her and her little pack. She is also completely trustworthy and has done house sitting here for us too, also looking after our nervous rescue cat and leaving the place in a far better state than when she arrived! Cannot recommend or thank her enough ❤️

Sarah is outstanding. Such a kind and caring person who is really thoughtful. Always fully prepared for all eventualities. The highlight for me is she brought 4 dogs (mine & my daughter’s) to my wedding so they could be in the photos. It was absolutely amazing and made my day. She dressed them in their wedding outfits and helped the photographer to take memorable photos. Sarah is reliable and trustworthy. Can’t recommend her highly enough.

Having moved to the area we needed to find a new cat sitter (which I was quite nervous about following a bad experience with another company). Sarah was great with our older, quite timid cat. She sent photos daily to reassure us she was ok, gave her medication and even watered our plants. I absolutely trusted her with the house and our much loved cat and will be using her again when we next go on holiday.

Cannot thank you enough for helping us out with our French bulldog coco! We recently went away to Florida and our frenchie was staying at my father in laws house! Being away for a few weeks meant that she would need regular walks and exercise ! I came across Sarah and I’m so glad that we did! We had regular updates and photos and she gave coco the best walks! Really put our minds at ease whilst we was away! It’s the first time we have ever left her too! Thank you so much Sarah and we will be back for sure! Found someone who will always be able to help us out with coco!

Sarah has been walking our dog for the last 18 months, she has been incredibly flexible, friendly and professional throughout. I often receive photos or video of her walks, which is really lovely. Would highly recommend.

Sarah looked after our cockapoo Sid on my daughter’s wedding day and did a fantastic job including arranging a super photo with the bride and groom and being lovely with all the guests and family she met. Sid seemed really happy with her. We’d like our daughter to do the whole day again and would definitely want Sarah back for that! Highly recommended.

Sarah has walked our doggie for a number of months now and I rated her very highly. Professional, polite and gentle sums up Sarah. Always willing to help out if there is a change of plan and easy to contact. We will miss her in Cornwall and she will be Devon's gain.

Highly recommend Sarah she is so lovely and has been a real godsend to our family. We're a busy working family and I work shifts that often change. Sarah has been so accommodating with last minute changes and requests. My cockerpoo loves her too

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.

Willow has been going to Flo for just over 2 years now and I know 100% that my precious princess is in the best hands in torbay! Flo specialises in small dogs and in my opinion that gives me more confidence to leave my little dog as I know Flo has complete control over her charges. Flo has had willow, ranging from a day for doggy day care, many one, 2 or more night overnight stays, to over a week whilst I went across the pond to the USA. Flo takes time to know her little guests and knowing a dog and all their quirky individual ways takes time. Each dog is different, as are humans. Flo has definitely made an imprint on not only willow's little heart, but mine also.

We are so pleased we have found Florence in a Torquay. Our Border Terrier loves staying at hers and meeting the other dogs. We can go away worry free knowing Oti is in brilliant hands. Thanks Florence!

I was very disappointed with this lady. I called to ask if she had any availability for my dog over Christmas and she raised her voice and said you can't leave your dog with someone last minute and then hung up the phone. My mother has just passed away and we're dealing with some very difficult family circumstances hence the need for last minute dog boarding. Florence's rudeness was uncalled for when she didn't even take the time to hear our personal circumstances, and I now feel even more upset. I think Florence ought to be more considerate when speaking to potential clients and not make judgements and jump to conclusions. I've never had any professional person speak to me so rudely or hang up the phone like that

Florence Bonneau is a woman of many talents. As well as working as a French translator and proof-reader she is a great teacher. I have been enjoying private French lessons with her for three years and my fluency has improved enormously thanks to her skill and enthusiasm. An added bonus for me - as a dog-lover - is that her home is also a dog hotel and I often get an extra tail-wagging welcome from her four-legged clients. Florence is a meticulous housekeeper; the dogs have their own separate quarters and everywhere is always fresh and spotlessly clean.

Florence always looks after Milo when we are away he loves his holidays with her.

Florence was incredibly kind and helpful, she saw me the same day. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

Excellent tutor, warm and welcoming. Highly recommend.

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

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

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!
