Availability

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). Please be aware, I won’t accept your stay if it means your pup will be left for 3+ hours at a time on its own during the 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.

Pet care experience

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.

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🥰

Bess was looked after so well by Ellie, daily walks and run of the house. Bess is a very timid dog but we were reassured by daily photos of how settled and content she was. We would be more than happy for Ellie to look after Bess anytime.
