Your pet’s second home and carer :)

Pet care experience

**LIMITED SPACES REMAIN END OF 2024** Hello! We really look forward to meeting you and your lovely four-(or less)-legged friends. Between us (Joe and Holly) both, we have over 20 years of experience loving, caring, rehabilitating and exercising with a whole host of pets - mainly dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, tortoises and fish. As avid animal lovers we have always jumped at the opportunity to board family and friend’s pets for short and lengthy periods. We are volunteers and supporters of our Sheffield shelters and international animal welfare organizations. Both of us grew up from a young age with our own family animals. Respecting, feeding, cleaning, exercising and genuinely loving animals comes second nature and we would love to share our love with your pets whenever needed. We are in the great position of being at home exclusively with time on both of our hands. Time which will be passed to your pet for lots of attention both in and out of the house. We are extremely flexible to meet your needs and can rely on each other to fit in to your schedule. All pets we have had over have loved our house and often they have returned bouncing in and zooming around. We house a large variety of toys, bowls, sleeping areas and treats, but are also happy to meet your and your pets personal needs. We have a large enough house and garden to board any size, any energy pet you may have. The garden is very private, with secure high fences to keep your loved one as safe and sound as possible, with plenty of space for playing and exercising, whilst the house is large and clean with lots of natural light. We live in a quiet side of a new build development with nearby parks for plenty of long walks. We ensure the highest level of care and safety for your pet in a perfectly maintained location. We will send at least hourly/daily updates to yourself of how your pet is getting along and will be available for you to contact immediately any time to check up on their stay.

Joe and Holly are incredible dogsitters! They really put us at ease both before and during Bruno's first stay, and were very accommodating for his special requirements, particularly around his anxieties. They provided varied activities and let him settle in at his own pace. Would absolutely recommend!

Dougal loved staying with Joe and holly! They took excellent care of him and sent me regular photos and videos during the day so I could see how he was doing. He was only 14 weeks at the time but joe and holly took excellent care of such a little puppy. Thank you and hope Dougal can stay with you again!

Joe and Holly are so relaxed and welcoming. Jackson had a great time with them. He’s going to be staying with them again soon.

We have struggled to find anyone who really knows how to manage our very energetic and hyper gsd x collie, but from the moment we met Joe & Holly we felt reassured that they really understood her and what she needs. They have been very responsive to the idea of building things up gradually which has been appreciated. Lyra really enjoyed her first day with them as they gave her lots of attention, play and walks. They also sent several photo updates which was great. Just wish they weren’t as popular so we could book them more often! :-)

Safety, trust & environment

We care for pets in our home as if they are ours and will get preferential treatment at all times. The care we give begins before the booking. We always arrange a meet and great (free of charge) with the owners first, so that we can get to know the owners and their dog/s. We will build a thorough understanding of the owners and their dogs' schedules and needs. We then tailor our services to those requirements, communicating with the owners at all times. Our home is a safe and fun space for animals and we guarantee that they can sense this on the first visit. During the booking, we adhere to everything that has been discussed with the owners, whilst adapting to any changing needs. Our attention will always remain with the pet while in our care - whether it's play time or knowing when to stop the play time, your pet is in safe hands. We have a safe enclosed garden with plenty of room for outside zoomies while being fortunate enough to be in walking distance to some great woodland walks/parks. Your pet will have a wonderful day/holiday away from your home and we will ensure you are kept up to date with updates and photos.

Information Joe S. would like to know about your pet

Please do let us know of any medical or dietary requirements. Any of your pet’s likes and dislikes. If you have any specific exercise requirements. And any other details you may find relevant to ensure your pet’s stay is no different than at your home.

A typical day

We will tailor the day and activities planned to your’s and your pet’s needs. Otherwise, if your pet enjoys physical exercise and stimulation, they may join us in on one of our agility sessions (good for Joe and your pets). Otherwise we explore the neighbouring parks for shorter, or trail walks for longer periods outside together. We have plenty of mental and physical stimulation games/toys at hand such as, hide and seek, fetch, snuffle mats, homemade tuggers and obstacle courses, to keep your pet entertained and meet their instincts. We have a large garden where we can enjoy a selection of fun and engaging toys or jog/walk around the quiet residential area. Inside, we will share a warm cozy spot in our living room with plenty of food, water and affection at arms reach.
