Pet Sitting Heptonstall

“Elisa is a fantastic pet sitter, she’s very thorough and caring. She left lots of detail and pictures so I knew our cat was okay, and could relax knowing he was being properly looked after. We will definitely book again!”

About: I'm offering dog-walking, doggy daycare and overnight sitting in the Calder Valley. For dog-walking, I can collect your dog from your home, take them for an hour's walk and drop them back home. I can run or walk (and, of course, play Stick) with energetic dogs or do more chilled walks with smaller and elderly dogs. For sitting and day-care: I have a small fenced back yard for fresh air breaks but mostly your dog will be with me in my living-dining room, getting one to one attention - lots of games and cuddles. My house backs onto woods and fields for regular walks. I can look after older dogs who need regular toilet breaks (although my house does have steps up to it). I don't have my own dog (sadly, I can't commit to a full-time dog). I will never take on a second dog from another family without both families’ express permission first, so you have peace of mind that your dog will be my sole priority and there's no risk of fights and injury. My favourite breeds are the retriever and the sight-hounds families; I also love cockerpoos, daschunds and border terriers, in fact I’m discovering new favourite breeds all the time! I prefer not to take jack russells, akitas, rottweilers or dobermans. I work from home. I enjoy hiking, running and going to pubs and cafes, so if your dog is well behaved they can come everywhere with me. My garden is I fenced (I only have a small fenced yard) so I rely on taking the dogs for regular walks in the woods.

About: Currently I work part time from home teaching English online. I can only accept dogs that are happy to have 4 hours of downtime while I’m online! Outside of that I have a lot of time for walks and play, it’s really a pleasure to have a dog in the house, even when I can't commit to having my own full time at the moment as I often travel. Happy to have rescues / anxious dogs as I used to have a rescue Greyhound and we can offer a quiet calm environment at home. Also happy to arrange a meet and greet before hand so your dog can meet me before they come to stay and you can let me know their requirements! I usually work 9-1, so will fit in a 45 minute walk before this and a 45 minute walk after. I have breaks in between classes I’d anyone needs a wee break and happy to really do as many walks as your dog would like! I'm available 7 days a week for bookings, but don’t work Sunday or Monday for any higher energy dogs that I can’t accept when I have work. I have a small yard and no other pets, so your dog/cat will have reign of the house! I live with my best friend, Alex, who is also a big animal lover and mostly works from home so there will always be one of us free for belly rubs.

About: I absolutely love cats and dogs and have over 10 years experience living with and taking care of them. My friends and family refer to me as the ‘cat whisperer’ and I'm known to befriend dogs at every opportunity. As I don't have pets of my own anymore, over the past few years I've started offering my petsitting services to a small number of friends and family members. I'm now excited to offer my services to a small network in my local community. Whether it’s a high energy walk in the hills, a quiet evening of cuddles or a week-long stay, my goal is to bring your pet joy and total safety. I’m reliable, friendly and an excellent communicator (who will keep you updated with photos of your pet if you like), and I promise to leave your home just as tidy as I found it! I usually work remotely so I can be flexible to the needs of your pets, making sure they get all the love and fuss they need! I'm usually available for full day petsitting if you're away at work (8.30am - 5.30pm) and overnight stays. My calendar is fairly flexible and I'll do my best to accommodate what you and your pet needs. I'm a trustworthy and compassionate person who will look after your home and pets as if they're my own. I pride myself in creating a happy and calm environment for pets while respecting the environment they live in. I'm super clean and tidy and will always leave your home as I found it.

“We were really happy with the care Cleo received. She was well looked after, and the updates gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We’d be very happy to book Armish again.”

“Megan was amazing with my new puppy during her puppy drop in visits. She sat with her and implemented the same commands that I told her I had been using . She made sure the house was secured upon exiting and my puppy would forward to her coming in. Thanks again Megan”

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.

About: I have grown up around dogs so have the experienced needed to make sure your dog is taken the best care of. Wether big or small, a good boy or good girl, you can rely on me to walk, feed, bathe and sit your dog as if they were my own. I know how important it is to feel like you're leaving your dog in capable and loving hands; your dog will be safe and have a whole lot of fun on outings with me. Sometimes I will even bring my own dog Yogy too so they can make friends. Reliable, affordable and providing your dog with walkie's that are easy for you. I have previous experience dog walking and currently my walking schedule is approximately 10am, 12pm and 2pm during weekdays. I never take dogs out in groups bigger than four and can offer private walks too. Weekends walks and sitting are subject to availability. It is of the upmost importance to me that your dog is safe whilst in my care. I prefer to care for dogs in their own home as to not unsettle them in different settings but am also able to care for dogs in my flat too. I always make sure my pals are well fed and watered with regular toilet breaks. Whilst on walks dog's remain on the lead until in an open space in a park or field where I feel comfortable to let them run freely. This is of course a conversation between the owner and myself as we access your dogs needs and confidence and so I will provide my method accordingly.

“Rachel was very easy to communicate with, and Maple was evidently having a great time with Rachel. Only issue would be the worry that your pet will like Rachel more than yourself! Highly recommend”

About: I love cats and my landlady has a black cat called Thomas, I am responsible for looking after him if the landlady is away, feeding him, giving him love and attention and so on. In the past I have done dog sitting for friends for weeks at a time and it is just so great for me to go out on big long walks in nature every day with a dog. I am definitely an animal person :) I am currently looking for part time work, I am therefore completely free at the moment and will still be very free even when working as it will just be a few hours per week. I am very engaging with pets, I make sure to feed them the correct food and correct amount, I know alot of people can overfeed pets and this is something I make sure not to do. If they have a set routine of meal times, play time, walking times, I am happy to stick with that routine. I am very clean and tidy, I cook alot and I always clean up. I am pretty quiet and chilled, a good person to be around your pets.

About: Having grown up with a dog and now have a cat, I have cared for many other dogs both professionally and in my family I have experience with dogs ranging from puppies to older and much larger dogs. I have been trusted to walk, play with and bathe dogs and have experience with dogs with challenging behaviours. I am a freelance photographer so I will have a lot of days free in-between shoots or weddings, I can be available most days and nights provided I have enough notice. I can come to your home where your pet is more comfortable and play with them, let them out and take them for walks around an area that they know. I will always be vigilant and ensure your dogs and others safety at all times.

“Thank you, looks like he had a great time :)”

“Delenn was great at taking care of our cat Ian, communication was quick and pleasant, we had photo updates. I felt safe leaving Ian with her. Would definitely ask for her help again. Thank you!”

About: With over 20 years of dedicated pet care experience, I provide reliable, compassionate and personalised care for both dogs and cats. Whether it’s a daily walk, support or simply keeping routines consistent while you’re away, your pets will be treated like family. I currently work full time however this is flexible with a large amount of working from home, this provides me with the necessary time to facilitate looking after your pet. Weekends and evenings are free and this ensures there is ample time for dog walking or pet sitting I have a large fenced off garden with plenty of space, the house is spacious and round the corner there is a large field and woodland area for walks

About: I have had animals all my life ! From hamsters to dogs cats birds everything ! I have trained and looked after every dog my self that I have owned , and I take special care of every one of them including the rescue animals I have recused myself and rehomed .i am also willing to travel I’m currently working for part time and I have many days free to play and care for your pets ! Ik pets need special attention and care and I would love to give them that My garden is huge and fenced so your pet has plenty of free space to wonder . I have my own friendly fur baby who is a softy and will keep your fur baby company !

About: From a young age I have always been fond of all animals and as a family we took on the role as puppy walkers for Guide Dogs. One puppy we adopted unfortunately developed arthritis so could no longer carry on the training but this allowed us to keep him and we had a fantastic 13 years together. He made my childhood and although in adulthood I haven't taken a dog on myself, I am a serial dog auntie to many and offered dog walks and pet sitting to friends/family/colleagues/neighbours etc before I started extending this to services on Rover. I am a really keen walker and know some great dog friendly routes but also always keen for the excuse to find new ones. I do work but have flexibility in my schedule and can work from home too which means I am on hand to be with pets in the day. I do not have the commitments of kids or other pets myself so again can offer that flexible care in the week to meet the needs of different people and their pets. I offer hands on care to ensure the safety and comfort and any pet I am responsible for. I want owners to feel assured their beloved animals are in safe hands. I am flexible to follow the wishes of owners to meet the individual needs of their pets, (however quirky they may be).

“Brilliant sitter! My cats Lei-Lei and Guo Guo were happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I got regular photo updates and came home to everything spotless. You can tell they really love cats — highly recommend!”

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 have over two years of experience caring for animals, including both big and small dogs as well as cats. I grew up raising an Alsatian and a Belgian Malinois and so I am confident, caring and patient around animals, and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship and following each pet’s individual routine. I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would want for my own. My pet will fit naturally into my routine alongside work as an Actor, residential care practitioner, caring for children and elderly, with daily care, attention and love. I care for pets in their own home by following their routine, providing food, walks, playtime and companionship, while keeping their environment clean, safe and comfortable.
