Highlights
Pet care experience
Attentive animal lover
I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I'd love to rescue my own one day. Myself and my partner love being in the outdoors and enjoy long walks so I can ensure you your dog will be well looked after and provided with lots of enriching activities.

Ratings and reviews
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! ☺️
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
Hector had a fantastic time with Ellen and Kieran. They sent us photos and messages every day. He clearly enjoyed exploring new places and seemed very comfortable with them. It was nice to see the photos and to know that he was happy and being well looked after. We felt very confident leaving Hector with Ellen. We would gladly ask her to look after him again and would strongly recommend her to anyone.
Ellen walked my boy Ralph to see how he managed before having a long boarding stay. He’s very nervous of other people and reactive towards dogs. Ellen understood his needs and her calm nature helped him relax and enjoy their time together, he returned home happy and exhausted from his run around, and I was reassured that Ellen was confident in managing his behaviour and that their boarding stay together will be great🥰

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.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
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.
