Paula and John looked after my little dog Panzer at short notice. I felt very at ease as he was well welcomed into their home with cuddles and treats! They took excellent care of him and he came back happy and tired after a lovely long walk. I would happily recommend and wouldn't hesitate to bring him back for another visit!

Marcia and Andy were flawless. They were professional and went the extra mile to ensure both dogs, who have separation anxiety, couldn’t have been looked after better, which made my break stress free knowing my best friends were in safe hands.

About: I have ten years of experience in pet care, from small to big dogs. I also have experience in dog breeding, and I trained my dog from a puppy. I am more than happy to do some training during the care if you wish. I work for myself, so I have flexibility all week. I am an active person, and your fur babies will enjoy plenty of walks or runs with me. I have a fenced, spacious yard ( half acre) for your fur babies, and two very friendly and gentle dogs to keep them company. Darley Park is on our doorstep, so your fur babies will enjoy the stunning walks on the path and on the open grassland. I am very detail-oriented when it comes to taking care of dogs, so feel free to let me know all the needs your fur babies would require, and I will ensure they have what they need and beyond

About: We've had dogs for the past 14 years and love having them as part of our family, from puppies to seniors. We recently lost our Saluki Lurcher Ruby at 15 due to old age and have now got a very social and fun puppy, Peri, who would love some friends around to play with. We are an active family. We like walking and being outdoors. Both kids, 11 and 8, have grown up with dogs and know how to behave and play with them. We have a large, secure back garden perfect for zoomies. We both work from home, so around all the time. We work from home every day, so we are around all the time. We usually walk the dog twice a day, in the morning and again in the evening. We have a large, secure garden, mainly grass, perfect for playing, and plenty of space in the house for a fun and comfortable stay. We understand that every dog is different, and we are flexible to your dog's needs to ensure they feel happy and cared for.

About: Hello! 👋 Richard and I both work from home, which means your dog will have company throughout the day in our calm home environment. Because I work flexibly, I accommodate walks around my working day. If I’m unable to offer the exact time you need, I’ll always suggest some practical alternatives. We’re experienced dog owners to Rupert, our 13-year-old Japanese Spitz, and Kiki, our 2-year-old Samoyed, so we’re well used to different ages, energy levels, and routines. Every dog is treated as part of the household, with plenty of care, attention, and reassurance. We’re happy for your dogs to roam freely around the house, and our garden is completely secure. We both work from home and as such can be on hand to take care of your pets during the day or overnight with relatively short notice. Our home has a fully enclosed, spacious garden, and it's located on a private road, ensuring a safe and secure environment for your pets. We allow pets to roam freely within our home, encouraging their comfort and relaxation.

I’m so glad we took our fur babies to Helen, she made sure they felt as at home as possible and and treats them like she treats her own dogs! Couldn’t be happier with Helen’s care for my babies. Even with Louie being a puppy she helped him to feel so comfortable around the other dogs and her family. So so pleased ?

About: I care for every dog as if it were my own. I live and breathe dogs - they are my life and I love nothing more than doggy company and seeing them run around with each other chasing a ball and having lots of fun! I am pet First Aid trained and DBS checked. I also hold a 5 star Dog Boarding licence. I work from home so someone is always around meaning your dog will get plenty of fuss and attention whilst you’re away. Snuggles on the sofa in the evening are a must! I am available all days of the week. I have a large secure garden and two friendly dogs to keep your dog company and enjoy lots of play time and fun! We also have cameras at the front and back or our property as well as a lockable gate to the garden.

Tom saved me a lot of bother when I was at an event and Jolly wasn't allowed! Met me at the station, spent the whole day with Jolly, took him on a long walk, and met me outside the hotel to drop him off. Couldn't have been better. Next time I'm in Derby, expect another booking if you're free! Thanks again :)

**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Home Away From Home!** I needed a sitter for my Labrador, Theo, for two days and could not have been happier with our experience with Elle. Despite not having a prior meet-and-greet, she was incredibly welcoming and communicative from the start. Elle and her mom together provided such a warm, homely environment for Theo and truly treated him like one of their own. It was so comforting to know he wasn't just being looked after, but was being welcomed into a family. Elle sent regular photo updates, and I could see just how happy and relaxed Theo was in their care. I returned to a very content dog. It's clear that Elle's genuine love for animals is a family trait. I am so grateful for their kindness and would absolutely rebook without hesitation. I highly recommend Elle to anyone looking for a truly caring and family-oriented sitter for their pet! Thank you so much, Elle (and mom!), for everything

Sam is amazing with our dog Daisy, she truly treats her like her own and we are always so pleased when she is available to care for her whether that be while we are at work or for weekends away. She listens to all instructions and we receive lots of lovely and funny updates of what our girl has been up to 🙂 thanks Sam!!
