“I cannot recommend Lucy (and Alex) highly enough. They are fantastic dog sitters, super communicative and really looked after my dog Loki during his stay. They even accommodated a very last minute booking which was a huge help for me personally. If you need a sitter in the Sheffield, Chesterfield area then definitely look them up.”
“Could not recommend Emily and her partner enough! Kindly accepted our request as we were let down at last minute from our usual sitter and we’re going on holiday in a matter of days. They made Ella feel like part of the family and she has come back absolutely full of life. Emily sent us pictures and updates throughout Ella’s stay and for future holidays will absolutely be using Emily again! Thank you :)”
“Meisha has been absolutely great! It was the first time my dog Rayah had been in an unfamiliar environment for more than 1 night, so was wanting to make sure I found someone who was patient and attentive. Meisha was fantastic with communication, and put me at ease during a meet and greet. She made sure Rayah had the best time and took her only lovely walks, played with her and gave her the best care. Meisha's partner also gave lots of attention to Rayah and it was great to know what a fab time they all had! I got lovely pictures and video updates throughout, which was lovely to see! Rayah was so happy and calm when I collected her, and I got a full debrief of what she got up to on her time spent with Meisha. I would 100% recommend Meisha, she has been wonderful! Thank you 😊”
“Karen was an amazing dog sitter, so lovely and could tell they made our dog very comfortable. Really took the time to get to know our dog and what helps them feel safe and happy. Would highly recommend.”
“Shelby and her partner were really attentive with our Daschund, Minnie. Minnie is a really needy dog and suffers from separation anxiety but settled really well with Shelby:) she was really well looked after whilst we were away for the weekend and could relax knowing Minnie was well cared for. highly recommend Shelby to care for your dogs!”
“Cameron took great care of Jasper on his evening of boarding. She has a great set up and space in and outdoors to host multiple dogs but keep them separate also if need be, and made sure he had a good balance of play and quiet time. Jasper really enjoyed his stay and we definitely recommend her services :-)”
“Janice is a lovely person who was kind enough to keep us up to date with Jack's behaviour and photos too. Jack is still a bit complex while learning new ways as a recent rescue and Janice was very accommodating of that fact, and where possible, adhered to what we are trying to achieve to assist us.”
“Winnie clearly had the best time! I had a lovely short stay away with Winnie in the best care and regular updates from Tracy. I arrived to collect Winnie and she took herself off to their family sofa! A lovely family to trust with our fur baby ❤️”
“Arthur had an amazing time, he came back exhausted from all the fun and walks he had which was great. Kriss was kind enough to send us regular vides and pictures. It is clear that Kriss is a true animal lover. I would highly recommend Kriss to look after your pet. We will most certainly be using Kriss again.”
“I can’t recommend Sue highly enough. Sue has been amazing with Rufus from the moment he walked into her home. I have had so many photos, videos, and messages keeping me updated as to how he’s getting on. It’s been lovely to see. Sue is so caring and I felt like Rufus was cared for with lots of love and care from start to finish. Sue is a gem and we will most certainly be using her dog sitting services again. Rufus will miss her”
“Fabiana is a fanatic host. It's clear that she pays a lot of attention to each individual dog and their needs. She took the time to get to know our dog and made sure he was introduced nicely to her own dog, home and family. Our dog had a great time and we'll be booking again with Fabiana soon!”
“Ellie and Liam are great! Communication is brilliant and they take such good care of our dog, we definitely recommend them. Gremlin is a little quirky and takes a bit to warm up but they made him feel so comfortable the first time they had him, that he was so excited to go back again when we dropped him off! Thanks again :) xx”
“Meg and her partner looked after Coco brilliantly! I was provided with daily updates and photos of Coco living her best life. They even took her for a nice walk in Matlock to make the most of the lovely weather. Would absolutely recommend Meg to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“At very late notice, Haley, her partner and their lovely dalmatian, Sunday, were the absolute best in caring for and helping settle in our little hellraiser, Ralph, for the week. Very communicative, attentive and helpful to ease our worries. He came back a very happy and very sleepy boy, testament to the attention and fun he’d had in their care. Thank you very much! Couldn’t recommend enough!”
“Theo had a good familiarisation stay overnight with David before his main holiday with him in August and he got on very well. David kept us well informed of things and provided photos.”
“All round great experience! George and Rebecca gave our dog lots of exercise and attention including giving him tablets, we also got plenty of updates. Super easy to organise and communicate. Would definitely ask them to have him again.”
“Josh and his family looked after Hugo, our Cavalier King Charles, for nearly 3 weeks and it couldn't have gone better. A real home from home for him! Josh kept us updated with pics of walks in the woods and joining in family life at home. Thank you, and hope to see you again. Nick & Jane”
“This was busters second stay with Joanne. Came home absolutely full of beans having obviously HG and a wonderful time. Joanne is an excellent dog sitter and we will definitely let Buster have his holidays with her again. Highly recommend”
About: Ever since a child we’ve had family dogs and cats. At one time we had 4 dogs, 12 cats, 2 horses and a 50 Holstein heifers! I love all kind of animals, wide knowledge with different breeds of dogs. I have veterinary care knowledge, and experience in dog behaviour. I’ve currently got two dogs, one cocker spaniel and one Labrador. They’re full of energy, happy and enthusiastic. That’s exactly what I love about them! I work full time on a dairy farm, available in the mornings and evenings. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I am available all day to allow dogs to board. I have two fenced/walled gardens which are thoroughly secure. I have two dogs at home, they are dog friendly and love to play. Toilet breaks are available 0-2 hours. We live on a farm, so therefore there’s endless fields to walk through safely.

“Emily is absolutely brilliant. She came over to the house on advance to meet us and our cat and during our trip kept us updated with regular messages, photos and videos which really helps to reassure you that everything is OK with your cat. Nothing was too much for Emily and we have already booked here again! FIVE STAR SERVICE”
“Mel was brilliant with our two kitties. They are rescues and tend to be nervous with strangers but they took to Mel like a duck to water. She was very communicative the whole weekend with pictures and updates. Barney and Fern were relaxed and happy upon our return home, like we’d never been away. Will definitely be asking for a repeat booking :)”
“Amazing work and a brave man not put off by our three idiots of cats. Will definitely add Jack to our list of regular sitters. Thank you so much, Jack, we had a relaxing time knowing the idiots were well looked after.”
“Lucy was absolutely brilliant while looking after my cat. From the moment we got in touch, her communication was spot on – always quick to reply and super friendly. While I was away, she sent regular updates and plenty of photos. I’d definitely recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet-sitter. Will 100% be asking her again next time I’m away.”
“Meghan was amazing! She looked after our little furball and was absolutely brilliant. Very punctual and took such good care of our cat Leo, very profesional but also really down to earth. Would recommend to anyone and we would go back to her again and again.”
“Nala was very well looked after! Melanie was great with the daily updates, prompt responses, and most importantly took incredible care of Nala :) will definitely use again!”
“Sharon was amazing! She really took her time and gave our cat, Boris a great fuss and made sure he was so well looked after whilst we were away for the weekend. She sent lots of pictures and such a detailed message from each visit to him! She really made us feel completely at ease, I would recommend her to anyone! Will definitely be booking again xx”
“Many thanks Lauren for looking after Stella over Christmas! Stella was perfectly relaxed and happy when I returned and Lauren had sent me reassuring emails both during and on the last day!”
“I decided to try housesitting as my cat has struggled with my previous arrangements during holidays. I was very nervous about it as I’ve never used a house-sitter before. I’m so glad I found Jordan and booked him. He was wonderful. Jordan took very good care of the house and made sure my cat was happy. I received lots of updates and pictures which gave me enormous peace of mind. My cat had a lovely time hanging out with Jordan and was sad when he left! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jordan or book him again in the future 😊”
About: I've had dogs and cats since I was 13 - puppies and kittens right up to elderly dogs and cats. I've owned two dogs and a cat in my time, and we're looking to get another puppy in the next year! I'm a massive animal lover and will dote on your pets as if they were my own.
About: I have worked with my mum in her cat sitting business for several years and also have a cat of my own. I am able to administer medications if needed (this would need to be discussed at meet and greet), happy to empty a litter tray as often as you would like (skipping daily), happy to play with your cat(s) if that's what they want or just admire from a distance. Can also water plants/put bins out etc, just ask :)
About: I have grown up around cats and looking after them is second nature to me. I have experience with all different types of cats, from indoor to semi-feral! I will get to know your cat and learn their individual behaviour and needs and tailor my care on what will suit them the best. Nothing is ever too much. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I will do everything I can to help you and your furry friend feel at ease! Any questions, please feel free to reach out. Thank you very much!
About: I grew up with cats in our household as a child and then as an adult I had a Siamese and 2 Tabby cats. I love cats and would treat your cats as if they were my own. I would prefer to look after your cats in their own home so that it doesn't disrupt their routine too much but if that isn't convenient then I could have them at my bungalow. Your cat's comfort and happiness is my main priority. I have experience of giving medication via injection as my dog was diabetic and needed insulin injections twice a day as well as oral medication. I have experience of caring for senior pets, age 14 & 15 years old

“Fabiana is so kind and professional; our dog is quite anxious around new people in our home and Fabiana has been very assertive this week, getting to know Lara before her drop in sessions. We’ll definitely be using Fabiana again ❤️🐕”

“Peggy had a lovely afternoon with Meisha and was very well looked after, with lots of activities and cuddles to keep her happy. The house and garden are 100% dog friendly and safe and I have no hesitation in recommending Meisha. Peggy will be staying again very soon.”
“Sue was super friendly and accommodating. Fia seemed to enjoy her stay and was in no rush to leave when I collected her, she gave Sue lots of kisses before we left which is definitely a good sign. Will definitely be back!”
“Briony's communication was excellent. Her partner Matt took care of Baxter, and he clearly had a great time and was well looked after - he looked very relaxed and happy in the photos! Thank you for taking care of him 🙂”
“Dixie and dougal had a great day with meg. She helped us out last minute and i would highly reccomend her and she kept us updated throughout the day with messages and pictures. Thank you again”
“Buddy is a very anxious and needy dog and he’s never been left with someone he doesn’t know. Janice was very patient with him and by the end his stay he was comfortable enough to sit on the settee with her! She kept me informed throughout the day and I feel very reassured for his week long stay with her next week 😊”
“Another wonderful day with Tracy and her family 😊 he really is so happy to be there, so happy in fact that I struggled to get him to come home!! Can't recommend highly enough, it's like leaving him with family 🥰”
“Joseph and his family are lovely. They truly love the dogs who are in their care, and make every effort to accommodate their needs and their owners goals. Truly a joy to share my pup with them!”
“My Buddy had so much fun he didn't want to come home, so enthusiastic and took really good care of him. Will definitely be looking at booking another daycare with Kris when we need.”
“David was clearly a dog lover and both dogs seemed happy to go back on the second day. David was very good at communicating and sent photos of Leo and Poppy. I would not hesitate to recommend David nor leave Leo and Poppy with David again.”
“George took excellent care of Dixie during her day with him. He sent many pictures to reassure us she was happy and settled. This was Dixie’s first day away from us so we were a little nervous but there was absolutely no need to be. We were held up leaving Tramlines due to the traffic and ended up being 45 mins late to pick Dixie up. George was very patient and kind, waiting up for us to pick her up. Thank you George, Lemmy and family for your wonderful care of our dog!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up on a farm, have had big dogs my whole life, from puppy to senior age and currently have a happy, well-trained Dalmatian who I raised from a puppy. I love exploring the Peak District and giving dogs the exercise, attention, and stimulation they need. With my own car and flexible routine, I’m always ready for walks, countryside adventures, and making sure your dog feels safe and cared for, as if they are a part of my family! As a university student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and getting outdoors, so dog walks and spending time with pets fit naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to be flexible with timings and make sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I live in the quiet community of Dore, that has easy accessible walking paths and parks. My flat is the end of a cul-de-sac and has a garden and large car park for quick pee breaks. My flat is very spacious and with plenty of open play space!
“My puppy Lola was well looked after. Gabrielle took her out for her pretty regular toilet breaks (being such a young pup), and made sure she was cared for and given lots of cuddles. I knew I’d left her in good hands :)”
About: I have many years experience caring for my own pets and for family and friends, including feeding, walking, and making sure they feel comfortable and settled while their owners are away. As a young child I was taught how to care for our family pets, from cats, guinee pigs, hamsters and goldfish, dogs came later into my life when I became a young adult. I understand how important routine is for animals, and I always take the time to get to know their individual needs and personalities. When it comes to home care, I’m tidy, trustworthy, and conscientious. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean, secure, and well looked after. Whether it’s watering plants, keeping things organised, or simply ensuring everything runs smoothly, I take pride in doing things properly. Above all, I genuinely enjoy helping others and providing peace of mind, knowing that both pets and homes are in safe hands. At the moment, I work from home four days a week, which suits me perfectly as it allows me to care for my dog and look after any others when needed. This arrangement gives me the flexibility to manage my responsibilities comfortably and ensures the pets receive plenty of attention throughout the day. During the weekends, I have increased availability to care for your beloved pets, should you need it. My days are dedicated to discovering fresh walking routes and exploring new destinations, all tailored to provide plenty of stimulation and adventure for those curious noses eager to experience new scents and surroundings. I have a fenced secure garden which is pet friendly just like my home, creating a safe, trusting, and comfortable environment is always my top priority. I take time to get to know each pet’s routine, likes, and dislikes to help them feel right at home. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just some quiet company, I always make sure their wellbeing comes first. I pay close attention to any instructions or special needs, and I’m happy to adapt my approach depending on the service you need. If you have any questions or specific requests, please let me know—your pet’s safety and happiness are at the heart of everything I do!
“Super easy organisation with Holly due to great communication. Frank clearly had a great day and came back very tired after her day out. No hesitation to use Holly again for her first overnight stay very soon (Frankie says she can’t wait!)”
About: We’ve both been around dogs our entire lives and have experience caring for a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. Ryan grew up with a Husky and a Border Collie, giving him hands-on experience with energetic, intelligent dogs that require plenty of exercise, training, and attention. Over the years, he’s also spent time around many other breeds and is comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes. Esmeralda has also grown up with dogs and currently cares for her 8-year-old Chow Chow, giving her ongoing experience with daily routines, grooming, exercise, and understanding a dog’s individual needs. We also leave our Chow Chow with sitters when we’re away, so we understand the process from a dog owner’s perspective and know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands. Together, we’re confident caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. We know how important it is to keep your dog happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away, and we’ll treat them with the same lovec and care we’d give our own pets. Pets fit naturally into our daily routine, and someone is always home to give them the attention and care they deserve. Ryan is self-employed, which gives him the flexibility to work around the dogs’ needs, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or sticking to their usual routine. Esmeralda is a stay-at-home parent to our 6-year-old, so apart from the school run during the week and football activities at weekends, she’s at home throughout the day. This means your dog will rarely be left alone and will enjoy plenty of companionship, exercise, toilet breaks, and affection. We understand how important it is for dogs to feel settled and cared for, so we’ll make sure they receive lots of love and attention while they’re with us. Safety, Trust & Environment Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We provide a calm, secure, and loving home where pets are treated like part of the family. We have a secure, fenced garden in a quiet estate with only six houses, giving a safe and peaceful environment for dogs to relax and play. We’re also very lucky to have a park just 10 seconds away, which makes daily walks and exercise easy, fun, and consistent. We also have our own dog, Dita, our friendly 8-year-old Chow Chow, who is calm, well-behaved, and used to having other dogs around. This helps create a relaxed and social home environment for visiting dogs. Our home is a safe, family-friendly environment where dogs are supervised throughout the day. We always take care to follow each dog’s individual routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, walking, medication, and comfort needs. We believe trust is built through communication, so we’re always happy to send updates, photos, and messages so you can see how your dog is getting on while you’re away. With Ryan’s flexible self-employed schedule and Esmeralda being home for most of the day, your dog will have consistent supervision, companionship, and care in a relaxed home environment.
About: I have experience of looking after 7 golden retrievers at one time. I love walking and have a clean and safe home which is dog friendly. I am not currently working so have lots of free time to look after your pets. I am not available some weekends but am free most days in the week and every other weekend. I am willing to administer any care needed for your dog. I am willing to look after your pet overnight as well as in the day
About: we have had dogs or cats most if not all of our lives and have always loved meeting and taking care of other peoples dogs if necessary I currently live at home, and there is somebody in the house all the time. Our dog is walked between 1 and 2 miles each morning and then again in the evening. I can be flexible with other times, as my dog is happy to be left alone. There are plenty of woodland walks from my house We have a large fenced-in garden with a lawn and house to cater to your dog's needs and a dog of our own who loves to play and would appreciate the company. I will adapt to each individual dog's needs, be that playing catch, cuddly toys, etc., or even just having a lovely cuddle for reassurance.

About: I have lived with dogs since I was 10 years old. We are a family of dog lovers and our dogs are our babies. I have now been dog sitting with my partner since November and we have cared for multiple dogs needing different levels of care. We have received multiple bookings and positive feedback from all of our clients. We have our own dog who we care for and walk every day. We have lots of ideas of dog walks and also know what it is like to care for a reactive dog as our dog can be anxious around other dogs. I provide regular updates to you as an owner as I know how important this is for you. Every dog we have cared for has become part of our family for the short time we’ve had them and we always miss them and hope to see them again soon! I am looking to earn some extra money pet sitting and dog walking. As I am a primary school teacher this is something that me and my partner are able to do on evenings, weekends or school holidays. We are eager to fit in pet care at weekends and school holidays as it is something we really enjoying doing. We can care for dogs in our own home due to our dog being reactive he would not be in our home and would be cared for by my partner’s mum who shares the dog with us at her home. We treat your dog like our own and the safety of your pet is of paramount importance. We always think about how we would want someone to care for our dog when caring for your pets. Our pets are our babies and when your pet stays with us we welcome them in as a member of our family.
“Fabiana is fantastic! I have a rescue who has a few behavioural issues but Fabiana really took the time to understand her and make sure we all felt comfortable. She is so gentle and thorough and kept me updated throughout with pictures and videos. Penny can't wait to see her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Jordan, a passionate and reliable pet sitter with extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My journey as a pet sitter began through TrustedHousesitters, where I’ve looked after a wide variety of dogs (and other animals) across the UK and internationally. I understand that every dog has its own unique personality and needs, and I take pride in providing loving, attentive care that helps your dog feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I offer in-home dog sitting, which means your pet can stay in their familiar environment, stick to their routine, and enjoy plenty of companionship and affection. I’m calm, observant, and confident in handling everything from energetic pups to more senior dogs who just want a cuddle and a slow stroll.

Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I am happy send the link to my TrustedHouseSitters profile via message, Rover will not let me post it here. I work from home so am completely flexible in my routine and therefore am available every day of the week. I need to keep one eye on my work Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings and early afternoons, but I am flexible and never have to be in a meeting, so I will always be available. I can work remotely so I also do not need to be at home for this. My partner and I have completed over 50 five-star sits through TrustedHousesitters. We always treat homeowners’ pets and homes with the utmost respect, creating a calm, safe, and loving environment that helps pets feel secure while their owners are away. We follow routines closely, give plenty of attention, and stay mindful of each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s medication, quiet companionship, or energetic playtime. We also keep the home clean, tidy, and secure at all times, treating it as if it were our own. Over the years, we’ve made many wonderful two-legged and four-legged friends, and we’re proud to be sitters that both pets and people can trust. I am happy send the link to my TrustedHouseSitters profile via message, Rover will not let me post it here.

About: I've always had family dogs and now have my own dog louie boy who I'm obsessed with. I am reliable and safe with your dog and would look after them as if they was my own. I'm often going to the woods to fill up my free days as i work shifts. I love being surrounded by dogs and have free time to fill since moving to Chesterfield. I'm flexible so just message for any further information or last minute bookings. I have one dog in the home and no children. I can make arrangements for your dog to be the only one if necessary. I currently work shifts and weekends so have free days in the week/ weekends. Each week the shifts change so have flexibility with different days and times. I can't currently commit to the same routine each week but can try my best. I have my 7 year old intact male at home. There is a secured garden and a field for walks 2 mins up the street. All dogs made to feel welcome on furniture
About: I grew up with dogs in our household and for the last 20 years I've had my own dogs but lost my last one, Sanza, a Toy Poodle, in June 2025. I dog sit two Dachshund sisters aged 15 regularly and enjoy it very much. I love dogs and would treat your dogs as if they were my own. Your pet's comfort, happiness and safety is my priority. I have experience of giving medication via injection as my dog was diabetic and had to have insulin injections twice a day as well as oral medication. I also have experience of looking after senior dogs as I have cared for dogs who are 14 and 15 years old. I am available to look after your dogs in my home or at your home so they have as little disruption to their routine as possible. I am retired so I'am at home all day so can look after your pets whenever you need me. I'm very flexible and can adjust my schedule to fit in around your needs. I have an enclosed garden which is fully fenced/ brick wall. The garden is very secure. I live in a semi detached bungalow so there are no stairs to climb. I have lots of toys for your dogs to play with. I am available to look after them in their own home or at my home. I am retired so I am around all the time to look after your dogs. I prefer to look after small dogs but will look after medium sized dogs as long as they walk well on the lead as I walk with a crutch so can't manage to walk large dogs who pull or lunge too strongly when they react to other dogs. I do not look after large dogs for safety reasons.
“Absolutely brilliant, our dog is very nervous around new people and she was great and had nala out for a long walk, assisted with her food, and nala was comfortable to go to the toilet which is not like her as a nervous dog. Helped us last min! Defo using again”

“Ellie is amazing! Her love, care and passion for animals is second to none. When meeting Ellie for the first time, she instantly made us feel at ease, our puppy Ralphy instantly fell asleep in her arms! Ellie made sure to understand and implement our routines for consistency for our puppy and also gave equal attention to our two cats. We absolutely will be booking in again with Ellie, cannot recommend her enough!”
“Huge thanks to Ellie & Ben. Couldn't be happier with the way they look after Diego. He looks forward to seeing them & really enjoys his walks. We have no hesitation in recommending them. We also will have no hesitation in using Ellie & Ben for daycare & longer stays if possible. 10 out of 10 all round.”
About: We’ve both been around dogs our entire lives and have experience caring for a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. Ryan grew up with a Husky and a Border Collie, giving him hands-on experience with energetic, intelligent dogs that require plenty of exercise, training, and attention. Over the years, he’s also spent time around many other breeds and is comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes. Esmeralda has also grown up with dogs and currently cares for her 8-year-old Chow Chow, giving her ongoing experience with daily routines, grooming, exercise, and understanding a dog’s individual needs. We also leave our Chow Chow with sitters when we’re away, so we understand the process from a dog owner’s perspective and know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands. Together, we’re confident caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. We know how important it is to keep your dog happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away, and we’ll treat them with the same lovec and care we’d give our own pets. Pets fit naturally into our daily routine, and someone is always home to give them the attention and care they deserve. Ryan is self-employed, which gives him the flexibility to work around the dogs’ needs, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or sticking to their usual routine. Esmeralda is a stay-at-home parent to our 6-year-old, so apart from the school run during the week and football activities at weekends, she’s at home throughout the day. This means your dog will rarely be left alone and will enjoy plenty of companionship, exercise, toilet breaks, and affection. We understand how important it is for dogs to feel settled and cared for, so we’ll make sure they receive lots of love and attention while they’re with us. Safety, Trust & Environment Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We provide a calm, secure, and loving home where pets are treated like part of the family. We have a secure, fenced garden in a quiet estate with only six houses, giving a safe and peaceful environment for dogs to relax and play. We’re also very lucky to have a park just 10 seconds away, which makes daily walks and exercise easy, fun, and consistent. We also have our own dog, Dita, our friendly 8-year-old Chow Chow, who is calm, well-behaved, and used to having other dogs around. This helps create a relaxed and social home environment for visiting dogs. Our home is a safe, family-friendly environment where dogs are supervised throughout the day. We always take care to follow each dog’s individual routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, walking, medication, and comfort needs. We believe trust is built through communication, so we’re always happy to send updates, photos, and messages so you can see how your dog is getting on while you’re away. With Ryan’s flexible self-employed schedule and Esmeralda being home for most of the day, your dog will have consistent supervision, companionship, and care in a relaxed home environment.

About: I’ve had two German shepherds and a westie so I have experience with all dog sizes. I’ve also grown up with cats - but more importantly, I love dogs and cats and caring for them!

“I cannot recommend Lucy (and Alex) highly enough. They are fantastic dog sitters, super communicative and really looked after my dog Loki during his stay. They even accommodated a very last minute booking which was a huge help for me personally. If you need a sitter in the Sheffield, Chesterfield area then definitely look them up.”
“Could not recommend Emily and her partner enough! Kindly accepted our request as we were let down at last minute from our usual sitter and we’re going on holiday in a matter of days. They made Ella feel like part of the family and she has come back absolutely full of life. Emily sent us pictures and updates throughout Ella’s stay and for future holidays will absolutely be using Emily again! Thank you :)”
“Meisha has been absolutely great! It was the first time my dog Rayah had been in an unfamiliar environment for more than 1 night, so was wanting to make sure I found someone who was patient and attentive. Meisha was fantastic with communication, and put me at ease during a meet and greet. She made sure Rayah had the best time and took her only lovely walks, played with her and gave her the best care. Meisha's partner also gave lots of attention to Rayah and it was great to know what a fab time they all had! I got lovely pictures and video updates throughout, which was lovely to see! Rayah was so happy and calm when I collected her, and I got a full debrief of what she got up to on her time spent with Meisha. I would 100% recommend Meisha, she has been wonderful! Thank you 😊”
“Shelby and her partner were really attentive with our Daschund, Minnie. Minnie is a really needy dog and suffers from separation anxiety but settled really well with Shelby:) she was really well looked after whilst we were away for the weekend and could relax knowing Minnie was well cared for. highly recommend Shelby to care for your dogs!”
“Cameron took great care of Jasper on his evening of boarding. She has a great set up and space in and outdoors to host multiple dogs but keep them separate also if need be, and made sure he had a good balance of play and quiet time. Jasper really enjoyed his stay and we definitely recommend her services :-)”
“Winnie clearly had the best time! I had a lovely short stay away with Winnie in the best care and regular updates from Tracy. I arrived to collect Winnie and she took herself off to their family sofa! A lovely family to trust with our fur baby ❤️”
“Arthur had an amazing time, he came back exhausted from all the fun and walks he had which was great. Kriss was kind enough to send us regular vides and pictures. It is clear that Kriss is a true animal lover. I would highly recommend Kriss to look after your pet. We will most certainly be using Kriss again.”
“Meg and her partner looked after Coco brilliantly! I was provided with daily updates and photos of Coco living her best life. They even took her for a nice walk in Matlock to make the most of the lovely weather. Would absolutely recommend Meg to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“At very late notice, Haley, her partner and their lovely dalmatian, Sunday, were the absolute best in caring for and helping settle in our little hellraiser, Ralph, for the week. Very communicative, attentive and helpful to ease our worries. He came back a very happy and very sleepy boy, testament to the attention and fun he’d had in their care. Thank you very much! Couldn’t recommend enough!”
“All round great experience! George and Rebecca gave our dog lots of exercise and attention including giving him tablets, we also got plenty of updates. Super easy to organise and communicate. Would definitely ask them to have him again.”
“This was busters second stay with Joanne. Came home absolutely full of beans having obviously HG and a wonderful time. Joanne is an excellent dog sitter and we will definitely let Buster have his holidays with her again. Highly recommend”
About: Ever since a child we’ve had family dogs and cats. At one time we had 4 dogs, 12 cats, 2 horses and a 50 Holstein heifers! I love all kind of animals, wide knowledge with different breeds of dogs. I have veterinary care knowledge, and experience in dog behaviour. I’ve currently got two dogs, one cocker spaniel and one Labrador. They’re full of energy, happy and enthusiastic. That’s exactly what I love about them! I work full time on a dairy farm, available in the mornings and evenings. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I am available all day to allow dogs to board. I have two fenced/walled gardens which are thoroughly secure. I have two dogs at home, they are dog friendly and love to play. Toilet breaks are available 0-2 hours. We live on a farm, so therefore there’s endless fields to walk through safely.
“Holly is amazing! First time we have used her to look after our little Chi Puppy and he adored her. He has been very well looked after with plenty of cuddles, walkies and playing. The moment we meet Holly we could tell she loved animals and we wasn’t wrong. I think Charlie didn’t want to come home, he is still missing her. Thank you Holly and Charlie will see you soon”
“Antonia was absolutely brilliant from start to finish! I booked with her at very short notice and dropped by dog off without a meet and greet (my choice) but my dog settled straight away. I received pictures and updates throughout the weekend and picked a happy doggy up! I was also a few hours later than anticipated but Antonia was very understanding. Thanks so much Antonia, I highly recommend you :)”
About: - I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new, which is why I’m always happy to have a meet and greet or phone call before hand. Growing up, I was kept on my toes by two very strong-willed terriers (including a particularly determined Patterdale … if you know, you know). They’ve given me plenty of hands on experience with lively, intelligent, and sometimes escape-artist dogs, so safety and awareness are always my top priority. - I’ve looked after a wide range of breeds, from Dachshunds and Chihuahuas to Corgis, Retrievers, and Bichon Frisés, and I adapt my care to suit each dog’s individual personality and needs. - For your peace of mind, I am fully insured and take every precaution to ensure your pet’s safety, comfort, and wellbeing at all times. I work from home and I’m my own boss - so my routine is flexible and can adapt around what your dog needs and likes to do! If allowed, I can even take your pet for a dog-friendly ice cream at the local cafe! 🍦 (a 5 minute walk from my home) (For dog sitting) I have a secure, spacious garden for you dogs to roam around. It’s fully patterdale proofed by Zamba, seasoned escape artist! So your dogs will be perfectly safe and secure. And my house is spacious with plenty of room to roam around. There’s no other pets in the house so your dog will have my full attention. My house is a 2 minute walk from the local park and the back garden is surrounded by woodland - so lots of sniffs and it’s a dog’s paradise!
About: I’m an huge animal lover and owner and will treat your fur baby like my own ! I’ve always had pets throughout my life and work from home full time so your pooch will never be alone.

I work full time as an HR consultant, however I work from home fully remote. I have a dog of my own who is very sweet and loves other animals so I regularly walk her through the local woods and friends which is accessible from my house. I have no children, don’t smoke and pets are allowed on the furniture too. I also live close to the Peak District for lots of long adventures. My garden is a large size with a large 8ft fence all the way round. I live in the corner of a culdesac not close to any main roads and all the houses on my street are owned by friendly families. I live close to fields and a large woods.
“Simone took excellent care of my high energy 13-month-old working line German Shepherd Storm while we were away, Storm has lead reactivity and separation anxiety but Simone handled him perfectly, even when he barked initially Simone handled it with perfect calm confidence and made him feel safe and settled. She took him for plenty of walks and kept him cool in the heat, we came back to a well taken care of comfortable happy puppy, I can’t recommend Simone enough, we will certainly be booking her again in the future! Thank you so much Simone! 😊”
“Ellie was brilliant with Sid. He was so comfortable when I dropped him off, he made himself at home instantly. Ellie took him for long walks and played with him. We will definitely be asking her to look after Sid again.”
