“Amanda was amazing with our cockapoo. He settled in very quickly and had a great week with Amanda and her lovely family. We got multiple updates daily with both pictures and videos showing the adventures Cassius was having. I highly recommend Amanda.”


“Lucia and her family were wonderful with our doggy Maizee. She was so well looked after, with lots of cuddles, walks and lots of pupdates. We could not have asked for a better family for Maizee to stay with while we were at a wedding. Thank you so much for all the love you gave her and your kindness in looking after her when we couldn’t get there because the car was locked in a car park! Absolutely would recommend to anyone who wants absolute piece of mind for their fur babies. Thanks so much!”


“Kyla was absolutely fantastic! Reggie had the best time staying with her Baxter and Melvin! She kept us updated with lots of lovely videos and photos and she was super helpful with organising everything, would definitely love to have Reggie stay with Kyla again 😊”


“We had a fantastic experience with Wendy. She was incredibly caring and attentive to Hank, making sure he felt right at home. We loved the regular updates on all the fun he was having - walks, playtime with her lovely dog Hugo, and plenty of cuddles! It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. Highly recommend! 😊”


About: I trained scoob from a puppy & it taught me loads of patience & tactics to working with dogs. He’s walked three times a day with his main walk around 11/12pm. We often venture into pine woods & valley gardens, sometime even oak beck. We make dogs part of our family so even when we go out for the day at the weekend we regularly plan to bring scoob along for the day. He’s told me his favourite weekend day is to go for a great walk on Ilkley moor & go to a pub for some lunch! In addition I regularly look after my parents dog, Max, who’s a cocker spaniel aged 10. Knowing he’s older, we adjust our daily routine to make sure max doesn’t feel overwhelmed or too tired. Him and Scooby are best pals. I work from home all week so the pet would not often be left alone. Scoobs is walked three times a day with a main walk about midday. At the weekend we normally plan to include Scooby so including another pet is very easy to do. Our back yard has a 6 foot wall & fence. Dogs can roam the house during the day but are not allowed on the beds unless invited up. But sofas are fair game. At night we allow dogs to sleep in the dining room & on our first floor landing so they feel safe and secure with as little disturbance from the outside as possible.

“Constancia and her son were absolutely amazing looking after Harry! Lots of cute vids & pics. He was so happy and relaxed when we picked him up , it was clear he was very well cared for and made to feel at home. Thank you both so much , we’ll definitely be back! 🐾✨”


“Vivianne took such good care of my golden retriever Jaffa! Sent lots of pupdates whilst we were on holiday, it was so nice to see him having a great time ☺️ would highly recommend.”


“Ben was very helpful and sent me several updates during the day and photos. Dougie seemed chilled and had been well looked after. If I'm ever 'up north' again I would definitely use him again.Many thanks Linda”


“This was our first time using a dog sitter for Dexter and so we were a bit nervous at the outset. Seamus was quick to invite us round so that Dexter coukd meet him, his wife Amy and their little dog Bella, even before we made a booking with him. All went well with the meet up and we dropped Dexter off a few days later for his first stay. During the stay Seamus kept us updated with photos and messages letting us know that Dexter had eaten, been good on his walks and had settled at night. His communications throughout the whole process were top notch and we collected a very contented Dexter up at the end of his stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Seamus to anyone looking for a calm and caring host for their furry canine friend! I very much hope that Dexter will be welcome to stay with him again in the future.”


About: Hi there – we’re Katie & Rob! We’re a family of five (plus our friendly Cockapoo, Roxy) and lifelong dog lovers. Both of us grew up with dogs and couldn’t imagine life without one. Our kids absolutely adore animals and are gentle, respectful, and playful around them. We live in an area with fantastic access to dog-friendly walking routes – from wooded trails and open fields to safe, pathed walks – and we make the most of them daily. Roxy enjoys two walks a day and would love the company of a doggy friend. She’s great with other dogs – happy to play or just snuggle up for a snooze. We have a secure garden, and since we work from home, your dog would have regular access to outside space for toilet or sniff breaks throughout the day. We’re always happy to throw a ball or enjoy a chilled-out cuddle session. If your pup enjoys companionship, outdoor adventures, and a home full of love and attention – they’d fit right in here. There’s always someone at home, day and night — Rob works remotely full-time, and Katie works from home two days a week. Your dog will never be short of company, cuddles, or attention! We take our Cockapoo, Roxy, out for walks every morning and afternoon, and we’re more than happy to add a third walk into the routine for any extra-energetic pups. We have a fenced garden so it’s fully safe and enclosed. Roxy has a tracker on and we have a spare we could always add to collars whilst they stay with us.

“Nova had such a wonderful weekend with Debra, she would happily have stayed! Debra was great with Nova, calming and setting her well after a nervous arrival. Nova soon felt completely at home Debra’s home is very calm and dog-friendly. Having the Valley Gardens so close was great. We had lots of update photos and Debra managed well both medications and keeping watch on a troublesome leg. We, and Nova, would strongly recommend Debra and hope for a revisit soon.”


“Felt really happy leaving Pip with Emily. She sent regular updates and we thought she cared for the dogs very well. Pip was happy and content when I picked her up and would have no problem leaving Pip again. Thank you”


About: I have a lot of patience, as I really like taking care of animals. And I also have a dog who is already elderly and has a little pain in her back and I take care of her as if she were my daughter. Hi! My name is Roberta, and I’ve been passionate about animals since I was a child. I’ve always had dogs and cats in my family, and now I dedicate my time to caring for them with love and attention. I understand that every pet is unique, with its own personality and needs, so I adapt my care to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m responsible, punctual, and very attentive to details — whether it’s giving medication, following a feeding routine, going for fun walks, or simply sharing plenty of cuddles. What I Offer • Calm or energetic walks, depending on your pet’s needs • Loving and safe care at your home or during boarding • Frequent updates with photos and videos, so you can follow along • Special attention for puppies, senior pets, or pets with specific needs My goal is to make sure that while you’re away, your pet feels loved, and you feel completely at ease knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾🩵 I make them feel comfortable and can walk around the house and sit with me on the couch watching television together under the covers. If it's cold. And I have a little dog that she can be their friend too.

Joshua E.
“Josh has looked after our labrador countless times over the last 6 years - either just for a day or for a longer period. He is great with animals. So much so that our dog is delighted to see Josh whenever, wherever. Josh is also extremely organised and reliable so we always know Quincy is in the safest of hands. Why would you look anywhere else when you have someone like Josh who loves your dog as much as you and is more than capable of giving him the time of his life.”
