About: I have a little pet care experience, watching over my friends cats Nelson and Dorito for a couple times. My family also had a German shepherd I used to look after. Fury friends always make me smile whenever I see them on the walk, and I dream about the day we’re going to welcome a dog to our home as well. I’m currently taking some time off work, so available most of the time during week and weekends as well, so gladly spend some quality time looking after your loved ones. I don’t have any pets, but your dog is going to be very loved by my family who adore pets as much as I do, if you need an over night stay.
“Nikita came to meet Sky & Gunner today, she instantly made me feel at ease and explained all the services she offers. This was great as it’s the first time I have had a sitter for them. She took them both for a walk and they came back looking like they had a fab time. I will definitely be booking again for more walks and for a house sit.”

About: Hi there! I’m a reliable and caring dog lover based in Redbrook, Barnsley, and I’d love to help look after your dog while you’re busy or away. I live with my husband and two teenagers 13 and 15 who are both great with dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I always take the time to get to know them properly. Whether your dog loves long walks (we have a few local parks in the area), playtime, or just a bit of company and calm care, I’ll make sure they feel safe and happy. I’m more comfortable with small to medium dogs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely — including feeding routines, medication, and any special requirements. You’ll also get regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. I am happy to arrange a free meet & greet where you can fetch your dog to my home.

About: As a dedicated pet owner and animal lover, I bring a wealth of experience and genuine care to every pet I look after. I’m the proud owner of a mini Labradoodle, and my love for animals extends beyond just dogs; I have a special place in my heart for cats as well. Before owning my own dog, I frequently cared for the pets of friends and family, gaining experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments. What sets me apart is my deep commitment to treating every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to ensure that your furry friend feels safe, loved, and well-cared for in your absence. Whether it’s providing extra cuddles, engaging in playtime, or adhering to specific care routines, I’ll go the extra mile to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable. You can trust that your pet is in good hands with me. As someone who works from home, I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to pet care. My daily routine is perfectly suited for giving your pet the attention they need, with ample time for cuddles, play, and walks. Whether it's a quick visit or an extended stay, you can count on me to be there, ensuring your furry friend is well-cared for and never lonely. I ensure pets feel comfortable and loved by maintaining their regular routines, offering plenty of playtime, walks, and affection. In my home, my friendly mini Doodle will play with and keep your dog company, making their stay enjoyable and engaging.
“Kashia came to visit us before walking my dogs to see them and I thought this was lovely and very kind and thoughtful. Me and my husband were out of the country and knowing she was very thorough made us feel at ease. Every walk we had pictures to look at and a description of how they were and we felt like we knew what they had been up to. Thank you”

About: Hi I’m Chloe, I’m 21 years old and have been looking after dogs since I was 10 years old. I have one shih-poo called Lottie who lives with my mum and I love her to bits❤️. I also had a Westie X Maltese called Ellie who passed away at the good age of 13. She developed a tumour in her stomach which required intense care day and night with medication and strict diet. I used to take her out in a doggy pram with Lottie. I am often first port of call for my family and friends to look after their pets as I love dogs and caring for them💖. We currently do not have any pets in the house, however Lottie comes for a sleepover every now and then. Your fur-baby would be staying with my boyfriend and I and receive love and care from us both! Check out our Instagram or Facebook to see the happy stays: happyhoundselsecar I am a part-time student and also work full time, I work from home the majority of the time as my company allows me to work flexibly. My boyfriend also works from home, so you're pet will have 2 for 1 love and care❤️. We have a fenced garden and don't have any dogs living in my home. Lottie lives at my mums. She is chill and doesn’t mind any dog! I can crate your dog if needed and adjust to any needs that they may have to make them as comfortable as possible.

About: Hi, I’m a 34-year-old dog lover with a real passion for the outdoors and for seeing dogs truly happy and fulfilled. There’s nothing better to me than fresh air, long walks, and watching a pup’s tail wag with excitement. I believe every dog deserves not just exercise, but meaningful time outside where they can explore, sniff, play, and simply enjoy being a dog. I have six months of hands-on experience working with dogs, building confidence in handling different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I am also first aid trained, so your dog’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. You can feel reassured knowing they are in capable and caring hands. Looking ahead, I’m committed to expanding my professional qualifications. I plan to gain NASDU certifications in General Purpose (GP) and drug detection, as well as continue my studies to become a qualified behaviourist. I’m passionate about understanding dogs on a deeper level and constantly improving my knowledge and skills. Whether your dog loves high-energy adventures or calm, steady walks, I will always tailor our time together to suit their individual needs. My goal is to ensure they feel safe, stimulated, fulfilled, and loved every single time we’re out together. 🐾 I am happy to be available full time 7 days a week. I have flexible hours and I am able to work around you and your schedule. I can follow the routine you already have in place as my own dog thrives of routine. I believe that dogs need a combination of walks, play and fulfillment as well as plenty of rest.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, small animals, and puppies. My background in education has taught me to be patient, observant, and highly attentive—qualities that translate directly into excellent pet care. I’m confident handling energetic pets who need active engagement as well as calmer or senior animals who require a gentler, more structured routine. What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of reliability, genuine affection for animals, and strong communication skills. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and stimulated while keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages. I’m experienced with basic puppy training, reinforcing positive behaviours, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m also comfortable supporting senior pets with slower-paced walks, medication reminders, and extra care when needed. My goal is always to make your pet’s time with me feel like a second home—safe, fun, and full of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have plenty of availability and genuinely enjoy spending my time with animals. I’m flexible with scheduling and able to accommodate daytime, evening, and weekend bookings, which allows me to adapt to each pet’s needs and routine. Whether it's regular walks, drop-in visits, or longer stays, I’m able to give pets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care, making sure they’re never rushed and always get the time, patience, and engagement they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities whenever I care for someone’s pet. Whether I’m looking after them in my home or in the owner’s home, I create a calm, structured, and secure environment so pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident. In a pet owner’s home, I follow all routines exactly as instructed—feeding schedules, walk times, house rules, and any special needs. I make sure doors and gates are always properly secured, keep a close eye on the pet’s behaviour, and maintain a clean, tidy environment. I respect the owner’s space and ensure their home is left just as I found it. I also provide regular updates so owners always know how their pet is doing.
About: Hi, I’m Chloe! ☺️ I’ve always had a huge passion for animals, and truly can’t think of anything better than spending my days with dogs! 🐾 I grew up surrounded by pups of all shapes and sizes — from Great Danes and Springer Spaniels to a cheeky little Jack Russell — so I know just how different (and special!) every dog’s personality can be. I live in Barnsley, close to several large parks and miles of gorgeous countryside — the perfect spots for long walks, exploring, and getting all that happy energy out. Whether your furry friend loves a good game of fetch or a steady countryside stroll, I’ll make sure they have the best time. Any dogs I look after are treated like my own — plenty of love, cuddles, and maybe a few too many treats! You can relax knowing your beloved companion is safe, happy, and being completely spoiled while you’re away. 🐶💛 My Availability 🐾 I currently work Monday to Friday from 8–5, but my weekends are all about the dogs! 🐶💛 From Friday evening through Sunday night, I’m completely free to look after your pups and give them my full attention. Whether they love long countryside walks or just want to curl up on the sofa for snuggles, I’ve got them covered. I’m lucky to have lots of lovely walking routes nearby — perfect for getting some fresh air and tail wags in! And if your dog prefers a more relaxed vibe, they’re always welcome to make themselves at home and chill on the sofa with me. 🐕🛋️ Your dog’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I live in a cozy house with a large, secure garden — perfect for safe playtime and fresh air. Being in a rural area means we’re surrounded by peaceful countryside walks and quiet lanes, ideal for relaxed strolls or energetic adventures, depending on your pup’s personality. I take every precaution to make sure your furry friend feels comfortable, cared for, and safe at all times. You can count on regular updates, plenty of photos, and complete peace of mind knowing your dog is in loving, responsible hands. 💛

About: I have grown up around dogs and have owned two dogs in the past, giving me a strong understanding of daily dog care, routines, and responsibilities. In addition, I have regularly looked after family and friends’ dogs while they are away, providing feeding, walking, companionship, and home-based care. Through this experience, I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and needs, including those who prefer a calmer, more relaxed environment. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, settled, and well cared for when away from their owners. I work full time during the week, so I offer dog sitting at weekends only. This allows me to be fully present and give pets my complete attention without work commitments I provide a calm, caring, and safe home environment for dogs. While I don’t currently own a dog myself, this allows me to give my full attention to any pets staying with me. My home has a secure, fully fenced garden, allowing dogs to enjoy safe outdoor time. I live right next to a park and have access to lots of nearby walking routes, so dogs will receive regular walks, exercise, and mental stimulation suited to their needs. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new, and I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and reassurance throughout their stay.
“They are a pleasant couple who follow instructions carefully. They understand that a former rescue dog needs time to adapt to them and they are building up trust with him. my other dog took to them immediately.”

“I sent a really last minute request for a dog walk for my 2 sheps for the same day due to being let down. Marie & her partner came at the requested time & were happy to oblige. I have a ring doorbell that I can check and my 2 looked so happy to have been on a walk with them both. Will definitely be using in the future. Thank you so much 🙏🏻”

“We needed Alexandra's help to pop-in to see, look after and walk our 5 months old Irish Doodle puppy and it was all spot on. Timing was perfect and dog was happy. From meeting before the visit all was smooth.”
“I came home from work to an extremely happy puppy, he has had lots of fun with Lauren and is tired from his long walk… I appreciate being able to book Lauren last minute as I was stuck as my husband usually works from home on a Monday but had to go in to work today. I will certainly be using Lauren again via the Rover app if I am stuck in future as she it totally trustworthy and I know my puppy is in safe hands”
