About: I’ve had family dogs all of my life, and my own dogs for the last 15 years or so. I often look after dogs of family and friends. I currently have a ten year old male patterjack who is good with other dogs and a six year old daughter who loves dogs too. Your dog will be allowed everywhere in the house and can even sleep in bed with me and my dog should they wish too. We do an hour long walk in woodland each day and lots of play and attention at home. I work part time from home so your dog will never be left alone for more than 30 minutes. We go walking in the local woodland for an hour each day. Your dog can treat our home like their own. I have a fenced garden but your dog will never be left outside unattended. I have a dog friendly small male dog and a daughter. Your dog will be allowed anywhere in the home. I will only feed your dog with food and treats you provide unless you specify otherwise. They can sleep where they like but I’ll adhere to your required sleeping arrangements for them.
“Elaine is a lovely kind woman who took care of my dog Sully at short notice. She was very reassuring and sent me daily updates on how he was doing, treating him like one of her own. Can’t thank you enough and would happily use her services again in the future”
“Amazing 🤩, perfect home for our little doggie 🐶. Kátia was able to accommodate my request at short notice after a mix up and communication was fast and friendly. Luna had a lovely stay and was cared for impeccably, with walks, love and a lovely home style boarding. Photos were sent and questions were answered straight away. Lovely lady I would 10000% recommend and will definitely use again when I need care. X thanks you Kátia xx”
“Tina was absolutely fantastic with our dog! She can be quite nervous, but Tina handled her so well and made her feel comfortable and pampered. We got regular updates and pictures while we were away, which really put our minds at ease. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and even nicely groomed! We’ll definitely be booking with Tina again — couldn’t recommend her enough! 🐾”
“This was the first time we’d ever left Woody other than with close family, Katie really helped to make sure it was such a positive experience! Lots of photos and updates and Woody had a great time ❤️ He can be a bit of a handful but Katie has been amazing with him!”
“Jennie and her partner were fantastic with our 2 girly labradoodles While I was on holiday I felt bambi and raven were safe and getting the love they needed Jennie sent me updates every day with photos which really put my mind at ease I would definitely recommend Jennie she is a caring animal sitter who puts your pets needs first We will definitely be contacting Jennie for future holidays 🐶🐶🐶🐶”
“A really good experience for both Teddy and me . Sarah and her family were very involved with him and his habits . Lots of walks and he loved the forest and ball play especially. He even slept in their room . What more could a dog owner ask 🤷🏼♀️he was one happy dog on my return I give Sarah 5 stars 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻”
“Amelia was fantastic with my dog Mabel! I was nervous to leave her overnight but Amelia put me at ease and sent updates and pictures. Mabel had a lovely stay and I would definitely use Amelia again in the future!”
“10/10 cant recommend paul enough looked after my little dog spoilt her rotten and sent updates and photos will definitely use again great pup dates and walks all the time great family and ollie dog is beautiful aswel x”
“Wow - what can we say! Dee took excellent care of our 3 poms whilst we went away for a week. 2-3 regular updates through out each day. Lots of photos and videos. Our floofs had a great time! Dee quickly understood their personalities and quirks and accomodated them and their needs perfectly. We wont hesitate to bring the girls back to Dee next time we need some help with care! Highly recommend this Rover super star!”
“David was an excellent choice to look after Zac and we would definitely recommend him. Zac is a Harrier hound and needs a lot of exercise and a decent size garden to roam in, David provided both of these. He kept in touch sending us text updates and photos and videos so we were reassured that Zac was okay. Zac has been having some skin problems recently and when these got worse David ordered a shampoo and bathed him twice (not an easy job) to help with these - definitely above and beyond what we expected. When we got home Zac settled back in with minimum sulking which is how I know how happy Zac was with his boarding. Zac was happy.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since being a little child. From being puppies to adult hood I have the experience and knowledge of how dogs can behave and interact. I have experienced many different situations which has given me the knowledge and skills to be able to overcome any issues effectively. I understand how dogs may react differently depending on the situation and how to manage this. I currently work from home full time 5 days a week on weekdays. This gives me more flexibility regarding my work life balance along with my home life. I also have access to a car. In order to care for pets in the owners home I will get to know the animal and have through interactions with them in order to access their needs. Conversations with the owners will also provide me with more information in order to care for them in the best possible way.
“It was Ted's first experience of being away from home, so I was a little apprehensive, but there was really no need to be nervous. Ted loved his stay with this lovely couple, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, caring sitter for their dog.”
About: I hold a Level 2 Animal Care qualification (Distinction), I'm fully insured, licensed and hold a Canine First Aid Certificate, so your dog is always in safe hands. Licence number: 168532 What sets me apart is my patient, calm approach and focus on building trust with every dog I care for. Whether it’s a gentle stroll, an energetic walk, basic training or a comforting pop-in visit, I always make sure each dog feels happy, secure, and understood. 💚 I’m based in Thurnscoe, Barnsley, and cover the surrounding areas — offering reliable walks, pop-ins, basic training (lead work, recall, sit and stays) and plenty of cuddles along the way!

I keep a clear schedule so dogs have consistency and never feel rushed or forgotten. When I visit a client’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect as my own. I always follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, cleaning and routines to make sure each pet feels comfortable and secure. I take time to build trust, offer cuddles and play and leave everything just as I found it — with a happy, relaxed dog!

Tina was excellent from start to finish, when we first met her you could see how much she loves dogs . She took great care of Alaska cooking her meals , taking her for walks and keeping her entertained playing ball ,Alaska was completely relax like a second home , I couldn’t of asked for a better doggy sitter and I would highly recommend Tina took look after your doggy
Annabel is an absolute dream! Rufus stayed for 2 nights while we had plans, and I could tell by the photos sent that he was having such a great time and was happy and living his best life. He was so well looked after, and Annabel kept his routine perfectly. He enjoyed walks with Nala the Labrador for company too. I’d definitely recommend Annabel, and won’t hesitate to let her look after Rufus again, seeing how much he loved being there.
Katie was great with our young Golden, Finn. We were dropping him off on route to friends so weren’t able to do a meet and greet but it wasn’t a problem. Katie’s responses before we met were friendly and helpful so we felt confident from the beginning. We got updates on how he was doing and he was well looked after! Thanks again Katie and if we’re ever in the area again we would definitely reuse.
