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.

Ellen and Kieran are fantastic – so good that our dog didn’t want to leave! She had the best holiday, enjoying trips all over Yorkshire. We received daily updates with photos and messages, which gave us complete reassurance that she was happy, loved, and very well looked after. I can’t recommend Ellen and Kieran highly enough. Thank you both so much!

Ellen was an excellent cat sitter. She was communicative, replying promptly to messages and leaving excellent updates with photos to let me know how my cat was getting on whilst I was away. Would definitely recommend and will certainly be booking again.
