Dog loving home and family!

Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover based between Leeds and Manchester, we recently were devastated to lose our fox red Labrador, Callie. We have everything a dog could want, and a lot of love to dive, visiting dogs tend to settle in quickly and feel at home. I work from home full-time in an open-plan house, so your dog will always have company, supervision, and plenty of attention throughout the day—no long periods left alone. Our home is a relaxed, dog-friendly space where dogs are treated like part of the family. We’re lucky to have a fully enclosed garden with a secure double-gate system, so dogs can safely enjoy being outside whenever they like (weather permitting!). When it’s dry, they’re free to roam in and out as they please. Exercise is a big part of our routine. Our dog used to get three walks a day, usually up on the local moors and hills or along the canal—plenty of variety, fresh air, and stimulation. My wife, Lydia, is also a huge dog lover and often joins in, which means we can walk dogs separately if needed to suit their pace, personality, or training requirements. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone, so I’ll always keep you updated with photos, messages, and reassurance while you’re away. If you’re looking for a safe, active, and loving home-from-home environment for your dog, I’d love to help. Feel free to get in touch with any questions!

Drop-In Visits • Aug 23, 2026

Tobias was amazing with my pup River! He helped with dropping visits while we are new to the area and I could tell it really helped him settle in!

Amazing experience. Mochi had a wonderful time, and it was clear she formed a lovely bond with Tobias and his partner. She came home happy and content, and after a good sleep it was obvious she'd had a great day.

Caspar had a lovely time with Tobias. I received a beautifully written report plus photos of how the evening went. Caspar came home calm and happy. I have no hesitation in recommending Tobias as a sitter.

Toby has been a great help looking after our dog multiple times and he's our first choice every time. Professional, clear communication and photo updates which reassure us that Albus is being cared for. Thanks Toby!

Schedule

I work from home full time so am available for sitting any time. I’m out with our dog on walks twice a day so have no problem with walking responsibilities, and love a longer explore with the dog at the weekend.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully enclosed garden, and I work looking on to it, so am always paying attention to the dogs. Our home is very pet friendly, with laminate flooring and an open plan downstairs, so dogs can have space but also always be seen.

Pets

A typical day

I work from home, so I get up early for an hour walk (can be adjusted to be shorted or longer). I then start work, before doing a quick run around the block with the dog at lunchtime. I then do another walk after work (or sometimes my wife does), maybe for 45-60 mins. We then relax at home with the dog.
