House Sitting in Calderdale

“Fantastic service and very friendly. The dog was exhausted after, which is brilliant as it meant I could relax when we got her back. Would definitely recommend.”

“I am so glad I chose Emma to look after my dog. She made extra effort to meet him before the booked date and it was clear she loves dogs and he would be well looked after. On the night of looking after him, Emma sent pictures of Dodger and made sure I knew he was happy and relaxed. Nothing was too much trouble and Emma is a thoroughly lovely person. I wouldn't hesitate to book Emma to look after my dog.”

“Leah has a lovely, caring nature for animals. She has a rescue kitten, which has quickly developed a super personality and has grown up amongst our dogs for most of her life.”

About: Since I was young we have always had dogs. We have 3 dogs of our own, who we adore! Lots of countryside walks are available. Myself and my partner work different shifts. I'm taking more of a part time role with my work place. There is always someone at home. We have a large back garden which is securely fenced off. Our dogs have two walks a day in the countryside very close to home.

“Joe has looked after my dog Lady on a number of occasions. He is always very loving, affectionate and careful with her and follows all my instructions to the letter. Shes always happy and excited to see him and she very obviously loves spending time with him. Joe is very polite, conscientious and professional so I have no hesitation in recommending him.”

“Maria was a fantastic host for my Cocker Spaniel. He hadn't been left with a sitter before and is an anxious dog, but Maria made him very comfortable and relaxed in her lovely home. Lots of walks and good communication with me throughout the stay. Iwould definitely use her again when needed. Thanks 😊”

“No complaints! Both cats well looked after and I was given an update everyday. Thanks Jessica”

About: I have had pets from an early age. Mainly dogs but on occasions I have looked after neighbours and family cats / rabbits / fish. I have two dogs now which are basically my babies! My job is flexible and that means I am often available to support with the most obscure requests and timings. I am available at all times, during the week, weekends, mornings and evenings. I live with my two dogs in a new build house. I have a clean secured back garden which is big enough for dogs to potter around and go to the toilet. My pets are “allowed” in all rooms and on furniture etc. Your pets would be the treated the exact same at mine!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 10. My first dog was called Poppie, she was a SpingBatt- cross between a Springer Spaniel and a Basset Hound! Unfortunately Poppie died when she was 9 and our family home felt so empty without a dog :( so 2 months later we got Barney, a cross between a Jackapoo and a Cockapoo! He is now 2 and a half. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a pet dog, both of them I see as my siblings and I think that shows the my level of care I have for dogs. I’m currently a student and working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and have adventures with your dogs ! It’s key to ensure any pet feels comfortable and at ease in their own home, so feeding/ walking them according to their routine is necessary as well as plenty of love and attention. Equally each pet has unique needs, so it’s important to adapt my care based on the pets personality and their individual requirements.

About: I’ve had my dog Bear for nearly 3 years now, he had a rough past going from owner to owner and now he’s found a home with me. I take care of him and all his needs, walk him feed him take him outside. Bear has made me fall in love with dogs and their genuine innocence and love. I’m not a professional dog trainer but i have taught him to whisper and go round, now he can’t stop spinning whenever he wants something. I’d love to just hang out with your dogs while earning a little money doing it :) I’m not working at the moment so i have lots of time on my hands, and i’m able to be at your disposal almost whenever you need. This would be a great thing to build up my cv and give me some work experience. Also i get to hang out with dogs! I’d love to learn the dogs needs and daily routine/schedule and keep it the same for them while their owner is away, and even doing extra like taking them on more walks.

“I would highly recommend Sarah to care for anyone's animals, she will nature and care for them like her own as she has done with mine. She is amazing with animals of all kinds and a joy to be around.”

About: With a lifelong passion for dogs and the proud owner of five furry companions throughout my life, I bring a wealth of pet care experience to the table. I've comfortably looked after a variety of medium to large breed dogs including Huskies, Springer Spaniels, Boxers, Golden Retrievers and German Shepherds. No matter the breed, I can ensure your pup receives the love and attention they deserve. Not afraid to get my hands dirty (literally), I'm well-versed in grooming after a muddy adventure. Plus, I have a knack for puppy training from years of attending training classes, your dog will be in good hands! While I work full-time Monday to Friday, my dedication to pooches extends beyond office hours! With availability for evening assistance on weekdays, after 5pm, and round-the-clock care on weekends with notice. I've provided overnight care for neighbours and relatives pets, spanning up to two weeks board on multiple occasions. As well as drop-in feeds, toilet breaks and walks when necessary throughout the day. I hope to build trust with every visit, but whatever access you are comfortable me having with your fur babies and homes works for me!

“Charlotte and her partner Matty were amazing when looking after Bertie my Labradoodle. Bertie can be a bit anxious and they gelled with him instantly which made me feel at ease when leaving him. They’re clearly dog people and took good care of him. They kept me updated with how he was doing, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be using them again in the future”

“I’ve had Daniel to look after my pets countless time as he is a very trustworthy individual who puts the animals first and has a great deal of knowledge as he trains and handles working dogs wouldn’t have anyone else to watch over my babies”

About: I have had a dog ever since I was born so I have always been around dogs, I absolutely LOVE them. I would even say they are better than people!! I’m used to all different breeds and sizes of dogs and no dog is ever too much to handle. I like to think I get a good sense of what a dog is like just from spending a short amount of time with them. I have also owned 2 cats previously so I am super happy to offer a comforting friendly face for your furry friend. Rest assured, your dog is with genuine dog lover. I can't wait to meet them! I currently work full time from home so my working location can be very flexible. I have 2 dogs of my own so I am used to the routine of getting up at 5:30am to give them a good walk, breakfast and playtime before starting work (from home) I then finish work and take them for another long walk in the evening followed by dinner and playtime in the garden or living room ( weather dependant) so they’re tired out before bedtime. I am happy to stay in your home so you pet feels safe in their usual familiar environment or alternatively I have a fully fenced and gated garden at my home address, so there will be no escapees. However I would be looking to offer dog walking, day care services first, before offering boarding services to get to know each pup personally and to make sure you and your beloved pup are comfortable and all needs are catered for. I personally like to know my dogs feel at ease when staying with someone and that I’m not leaving them with a stranger, this is the relationship I’d love to build with you and your furry friend!

“Teresa was amazing with our pup Kobe. His first walk with her went so smoothly and Teresa really knows how to be patient and caring towards our pup!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I have owned breeds such as my beloved German shepherds and sharpeis. I am currently the proud dog mum of my golden retriever Ted. I have experience of owning and training puppies and dogs going through their “teenager” years. I am patient and loving with all dogs great and small, old and young. I currently work full time but manage my own diary and can work from home. This makes me more flexible for looking after your lovely furry family members. Keeping your pets safe is an absolute priority. I will follow your requirements fully and ensure that gates and fences are closed, dogs are lead walked un less in an area which is enclosed and the dog is safe to be let of lead. Any dogs that are used to crates or if you are in the process of crate training puppies I will support what ever your needs are to ensure your pooches are safe and happy.

“I’ve used Kelly a few times now to look after my two dogs and one cat. Kelly was fantastic with them, she made me feel at ease with her knowledge and I know they’re in good hands whenever I leave them with her.”

“Hi Rita is a pet lover that's 1st and most important. She is very well organised. She is trust worthy. She's is very punctual. If Rita arranges to do something she will always stick to arrangements. If your looking for someone who you want to trust and be available to look after take good care of your pet. Then I strongly recommend using Rita's services.”

About: I have had experience with animals my whole life, having grown up around both cats and dogs! I have 2 cats myself, Oscar and Olive, who are like my babies! I currently work a flexible work from home job, usually attending the office once per week which I can work around, I have a car for transport and am able to travel locally. Working from home often means i get out less, so this would be great to break up my days and get out and about! I love all kinds of animals and I can easily adjust to accommodate different needs! My two cats are very spoilt and love a good cuddle 🥰
