Doggy Day Care • Sep 11, 2026

Ellen took good care of our Sydney while we had to travel for the day. She updated us with photos, took him on walks and gave him his favourite treats - I couldn't ask for much more!

Ellen took great care of Sunny! It was his first time away from home and he clearly felt comfortable and happy in a new environment. We will definitely be booking again next time we go away!

Ellen and Kieran did a fantastic job looking after our energetic working cocker spaniel Miles. They took him on lots of walks and have sent us daily updates with photos. Miles had an amazing weekend with them! Thank you! ☺️

Drop-In Visits • Jul 30, 2026

After our previous cat sitter moved out of town, I found Ellen on here to drop in and help look after our cats whilst we were away. So so pleased with our decision to use her. Such a lovely person, great communication and we immediately felt at ease having her look after Frankie and Teddy. We got daily updates and came back to two very happy cats. We will absolutely be asking Ellen to look after our babies again!

Ellen was truly fantastic and very thoughtful and considerate of our rescue dog's needs. We had regular photos and updates from her, and we felt so reassured during Pudding's stay that Ellen was giving her lots of love and attention, as well as there being lots of care navigating walks around the hot weather which also helped us to know that Pudding was in safe hands. Puds came home very relaxed and happy and with a new toy, and we quickly booked for her to stay with Ellen again without hesitation! Would definitely recommend her to everyone needing a reassuring and caring place for your doggy!

Ellen is very attentive and her love and care for pets is amazing. We got sent lots of updates on how our pup was doing and they developed a great bond together. If you need boarding care for your dog i’d highly recommend x

Schedule

I study part time during the week so have a couple of days each week where I can keep your pup company for the majority of the day. (These days change from week to week). During the weekends we’re free, we enjoy being outside on long walks - particularly in the peaks.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a small walled garden area. A park to the front of my house and Meersbrook park just a stones throw away. We often walk in the peaks so would love to take the dog there if they travel well. Our home is cosy and the dogs are allowed on the furniture but we prefer if they can sleep in their own bed at night.

A typical day

I can provide lots of enriching activities throughout the day for your dog: Long or short walks throughout the day. Hiding treats around the house for your dog to find. Playing fetch or with various toys.
