One diary, five services: pet sitting jobs across Plymouth
Plymouth is a naval city on a hill between two rivers, and naval postings take people away for weeks at a time. Mannamead and Mutley sit close together above the centre, near enough that a walk and a lunchtime visit can share one round. Set your own rates and keep up to 90% of every booking.

Local know-how pays off in Plymouth
Plymouth has a wet maritime climate with rain spread across the year, frosty spells in winter, and short winter days that leave a narrow window of daylight. Walkers who carry a raincoat and a towel, plan sheltered routes on the wettest days, and hold their slots through the drizzle keep the regulars that fair-weather walkers lose.
When demand peaks
Demand peaks over the summer holidays and across Christmas and New Year, with a second wave on the February, May and October half-terms and the bank-holiday weekends. Boarding and house sitting lead when owners travel; walking, daycare and drop-in visits carry the commuting week.
Know your Plymouth areas
Most bookings cluster Mannamead to Stoke. Owners look for sitters who know the area and can reach them without a long trip.
Breeds you will meet in Plymouth
Owners here mostly keep Labrador Retriever, Cocker Spaniel, French Bulldog, Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Knowing how those breeds behave, and saying so on your profile, is what turns a first booking into a repeat client.
The city on the hill, river to river
Mannamead and Mutley run into each other above the city centre, Mutley in student terraces around Mutley Plain and Mannamead in larger Victorian and Edwardian villas with gardens. Hartley carries on up the same hill and is suburban and quiet. Stoke and Devonport sit west towards HMNB Devonport, the largest naval base in western Europe, in Victorian terraces around Devonport Park, and that base is where the multi-week trips away come from. Plymstock is over the Laira Bridge on the east bank of the Plym, with gardens and Saltram's parkland on its doorstep. Offering every service means one household can book you for a Tuesday walk and again for three weeks in the spring.
