Pet Boarding Heptonstall

“Brody was very happy during his week long stay with Lily Grace, she made it a true home from home experience for him. Lily also sent daily reassuring photos of Brody and his adventures that were greatly appreciated, it being Brody’s first time away from home. Lily has maintained the trained commands and incorporated them into playtime so Brody is still on track for his next dog training class. He has also been fed according to his usual diet and is very healthy. I highly recommend Lily Grace to care for your dog.”

About: I’ve grown up with a large rescue dog and have always been around them, so caring for dogs feels very natural to me. I’ve looked after different dogs with a range of personalities, so I’m confident adapting to their needs — whether that’s energetic walks, playtime, or a calm and comforting environment. What sets me apart is- I’m very attentive and patient. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine and behaviour so they feel safe and settled while you’re away. I’m also comfortable caring for more sensitive or anxious dogs, making sure they feel secure and well looked after. Me and my family rescued a stray dog who was very anxious and had some behavioural issues, but with patience, love & consistency, she came out of her shell and we loved her more than anything in this world. I know it can be so anxiety provoking to leave your pet with someone and I understand how that feels firsthand- but we would do everything in our power to give your dog the best time in a safe, happy home :) x Between me and my husband Paul, we work full time, but different hours so the longest time a dog would be alone would be 8 hours. I work shifts so I have 4 days off a week where I would have time to go for long walks & spend time in nature, and my partner works an office job so can go for walks before and after work, as well as weekends. I live in a safe flat, with lovely neighbours and surrounded by nature, with beautiful walks nearby & a park as well. I would provide a safe loving home for dogs who I am looking after, and they would be my utmost priority.

“Vinny loved being at Sofia’s house, I don’t think he wanted to leave! Sofia sent lots of messages and photos of Vinny which was lovely :) thanks again!”

“Evie gives out a very calm aura which was very therapeutic for our 2 dogs, who thoroughly enjoyed their stay and didn't seem to miss us 1 bit. She was very mindful of the weather, caring and welcoming. She let the dogs feel at home. We certainly would ask Evie to help us out again as Piggly Wiggly and Charlie would love another holiday with her! Linda and Paddy”

About: I’m an experienced dog owner and sitter who’s cared for a range of breeds, from Huskies and German Shepherd crosses to various small and medium-sized dogs for family and friends. I currently have a 6-year-old Golden Labrador who’s friendly and well-socialized. I have plenty of experience with anxious and reactive dogs and always take a calm, patient approach to help them feel safe and happy. I’m also happy to keep up with any training routines during their stay or walks to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I have the freedom to work from home most days, as well as the option to work from a dog-friendly office. My flexible lifestyle and plenty of spare time mean I can give another furry friend lots of care, walks, and attention. I live in a dog-friendly apartment building with a secure, enclosed terrace and a local park just a five-minute walk away. I treat all pets like my own, giving them plenty of love and attention. Pets are welcome on the furniture so they can feel right at home and relaxed.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and absolutely love caring for them. As a teenager, our family always had 2–3 dogs of all sizes — from small breeds like Maltese to Cockapoos and bigger ones too. I regularly dog sat and helped care for them. As an adult, I’ve looked after a Rottweiler for 2 years and a Beagle for 4 years. I have plenty of experience training puppies to go potty outside, as well as teaching older dogs new tricks and good habits. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy giving dogs the attention and care they deserve. I've recently moved into the area of Todmorden, I am very flexible with my availability and can look after any day and time as I plan to make this a full time business. I have a 2 bedroom house and a garden (I'm currently working on finishing it end of week to be fully closed off) and I live within 5 minute walk from the local park for regular walks if needed. I will respect anyone's home as if my own if needing a check in for food and toilet breaks if needed too. I have no dogs of my own so either there will be company of up to 4 dogs or if specified I will go solo on occasions if possible which we can discuss.

About: I am a trustworthy and reliable dog walker/sitter based in Todmorden, Calderdale. I have plenty of experience looking after dogs of a range of ages and breeds including a young German Shepherd, a Manchester Terrier and an elderly Alaskan Malamute (big dog!). I am comfortable with dogs of all sorts of temperaments and have experience caring for anxious dogs. I have a flexible approach so that you get the care that suits your dogs needs and ensure you get the level of communication you want throughout. I specialise in solo walks and ad hoc holiday care. I already regularly walk a staffy and look after a yorkshire terrior/jack russell cross on a weekly basis. A client quote: "Fran looked after Alfi while we were away for a long weekend, and we felt very reassured that he was in good hands. Communication was excellent and nothing was too much trouble for Fran. We will be using her again and again, and highly recommend others looks for a reliable and competent dog sitter / boarder" I currently regularly walk a dog at lunch-times (tues-fri). Otherwise i work part-time (and quite flexibly) from home so am very available to give lots of attention to any dogs in my care. I live with very close to lots of great walks as well! I'm happy for dogs to sit on the sofa if you are! i have spacious living room and kitchen as well as an enclosed yard. All my houseplants are high up out of reach a well as i've known a few dogs that like to try and nibble these!! If looking after a dog in the owners home i obvously treat it with respect and follow their instructions on the dogs home routine.

“Thank you so much for looking after & giving Nelly lots of cuddles. We can earlier because of the weather. Would definitely recommend you 💯👏”

“Really pleasant and accommodating sitter with whom my dogs seem to have had a lovely day. Calum's own dog is sweet and happy with other dogs and he lives in a great location with easy access to great walks (not that my two are terribly energetic). Helpful and friendly I would use again happily and recommend,”

About: I’ve lived in BD13, Thornton for over 30 years, and have been a dog owner for the last 10 years. I retired from FT work in 2024, so have plenty of spare time. I walk daily, no matter what the weather, and know some great off road routes for dog walking, so can help your dog maintain a level of fitness if for any reason you’re unable to do so, whether due to health issues, or because of work or family commitments, or if you just need a break! I’ll record walks on Strava so you can see what exercise your dog has done, and I’ll send you pics to show your doggie having fun! Car owner, so can drive to / from anywhere local. For home boarding, I live with my wife of 33 years, along with Angus, our 12 year old Jack Russell Terrier. If your dog stays with us, they will be welcomed, and treated as our own. I retired from full time work in 2024, so have plenty of time to spare, and can offer dog care / walking services on most days. Even if it’s just a one off, to support your dog whilst you’re away for a special occasion, I can hopefully help out. My house has a lovely green garden, mostly fenced, so if your pet isn’t ready for walking the full requested period, they can relax either in my house or garden whilst you have time out! I will record all walks on strava, and send you screenshots of routes, so you know your dog has been exercised, aswell as pics if you wish.
