About: I have always had a pet in my home, whilst growing up I have cared for both dogs and cats and have had my two cats for 18 years as i’ve grown up learning how to care for them. I have also stepped in for any family or friend who has needed animal care whilst away. I have just finished my studies at university and currently have a lot of free time that i can put towards petting sitting and care. I provide a friendly and loving environment in either home and take precautions to make sure every pet is happy and safe under my care.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have grown up around them, so caring for pets is something that comes naturally to me. I’ve been looking after friends’ and family’s pets for years, including dog walking, pet sitting and making sure they’re happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I have plenty of experience with animals of my own too — I have a dog and two cats 🐶🐱🐱Having a variety of pets has taught me that every animal has their own personality, routine and needs, and I always make sure to give them the individual care and attention they deserve. Whether your dog needs a long walk, your pet needs some company while you’re out, or you’re going away and need someone trustworthy to look after them, I’m happy to help. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention and cuddles! ❤️ I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy and being well looked after. 🐾 i’m currently working in a part time job, so have plenty of time to look after your pets when they need it, i am mostly available late in the week, over the weekend and early week. I will always prioritise your pet’s safety by following their usual routine and your instructions carefully. I’ll make sure doors, gates and windows are secure, keep them away from anything unsafe, and always supervise them appropriately. I’ll also keep you updated and let you know straight away if I notice anything unusual or concerning.

“Niilo had a fab stay with Helena, who accommodated us at short notice and was super speedy on booking us in and flexible with drop off and pick up. Will definitely be booking him in again soon!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog owner with many years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs. I currently have two small, friendly dogs of my own, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with a much-loved member of the family. I’m patient, attentive and very happy to adapt to each dog’s individual personality and routine, whether that means leisurely sniff-filled walks, playtime, plenty of cuddles or simply some quiet company. I’m also comfortable caring for older dogs and dogs who prefer a gentler pace. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always come first, and I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, walking and care routines closely. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for. My schedule is flexible, which allows me plenty of time to give your dog the attention and care they need. I’m available for regular or occasional walks, drop-in visits, doggy day care and overnight boarding. I’m happy to work around your dog’s existing routine wherever possible, including their usual walk, meal and rest times. I live with my partner Joe, who loves animals too and may occasionally help me with pets staying in our home. He is registered with Rover as an additional caretaker so your pet is always in safe hands. I have a secure, fenced garden and two friendly small dogs of my own. Any visiting dog would be introduced to them carefully, and I’m very happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable. I’ll follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking and sleeping routines and any specific care instructions you provide. Dogs in mine and Joe’s care will receive plenty of attention and will always be treated as part of the family.

About: I recently moved to Huddersfield from Canada to complete my Masters here! I am currently at home full time the weekdays and weekends working on my dissertation. I have a very well behaved dog at home as well, he loves other dogs . He is a corgi toy Aussie cross. My home is surrounded by lots of good walks in forests and fields which we walk 1-2 times daily! I am 28 years old and have been taking care of pets for my entire life. I grew up with a border collie and a duck toller, as well as two cats, a bunny, a guinea pig and hamsters. I have cared for cats, dogs, bunnies, and even geckos! I previously worked at a doggy daycare so I have experience with all sizes of dogs and administering medications. I love all animals and would be willing to pet sit animals of any kind, not only cats and dogs! Just message me and we will figure it out. I understand how important it is to receive updates and photos of your pet while you’re away as I am the same way with my pets! I will send photos and updates daily if that’s what you want ☺️ I am a strong believer of positive reinforcement and at no point would I yell or act aggressively towards any animals of any kind. I am able to walk your dog, take them on hikes, or just drop in to let them pee. For your cat I can clean their litter, feed them, fill their water, cuddle with them, and provide any enrichment activities you desire. I am available for house sitting anytime and will stay over if that’s what you prefer. I can also take out garbages on garbage day, water plants, etc for house sittings. If your dog likes playing as much as mine does I would bring my own dog along on a walk so they can play. If your dog is reactive that’s fine too, we can find a trail with no people or dogs and do that! In your home pet sitting or drop in I am able to crate your dog, bath them, feed them, take them out for potty breaks, play with them etc. Just let me know what their current schedule is, what they’re used to, and the things they love and we will do that! I have a decent sized house for boarding with plenty of separate rooms. I have one dog at home who love to play and tire other dogs out! We have TONS of dog toys, cat toys, pet beds, kennels, and play pens for your pets to use during their stay if desired 😊

“Jack did a fantastic job looking after our dog! He sent us regular photos of Casper, which was so reassuring; we knew he was in great hands. We’ll absolutely rebook in the future. Thanks so much! :0)”

“Amazing experience. Mochi had a wonderful time, and it was clear she formed a lovely bond with Tobias and his partner. She came home happy and content, and after a good sleep it was obvious she'd had a great day.”

About: I currently have Leah & Jake, my 2 Border Collies. We're always out and about up on Saddleworth Moor having walkies... There's no better feeling than being outdoors with dogs.. I currently don't work, so I'm home all day now. Home sitting is available on Friday & Saturday nights. Unfortunately, I can't board pets due to my own dogs/cats/snakes etc My pets want for nothing. They are loved and cared for as family members. My cats and dogs have full roam of my house and also sleep on my bed if they want to.

“Danielle was really friendly and helpful especially going out of her way to be flexible with the times. She did everything I asked from her and I could tell Willie had enjoyed his stay. Highly recommend”

Greg P.

“Kate was great looking after Hugo. She was great at giving updates and good long walks. Hugo came back very happy and exhausted. I would highly recommend Kate to look after your pet.”

Victor P.

“Finnan had a great time once again with Kate and Dottie. It really is a huge weight off knowing that he’s in good hands and has a lovely friend to play with whilst we’re not around. Kate is excellent at keeping us informed with pictures and messages during his stay to let us know he’s doing well and having fun. Highly recommended”

About: My partner and I have had dogs for most of our lives. We now live away from home so are missing the time with our furry friends. We'd love to look after your pets, were athletic, enjoy the outdoors and are very flexible. I (Oliver) work from home, with a flexible working schedule. My partner (Imogen) works part time within the area. We're flexible and we have no dependents. We have a small fenced garden enough for small breaks but we would take dogs out at least twice a day to the local park.

“Mochi absolutely loved her day with Leila and Teddy. It was obvious she felt comfortable and happy, and she built a really sweet bond with them. The photos and updates were such a reassurance, and communication was spot‑on from start to finish. We’d happily book again”

About: Ive never known a life without dogs, they are a part of the family. I grew up with an energetic loving Beagle named Snoopy and now have a happy young Jackhuahua named Chico who enjoys lots of walks and cuddles. I believe all dogs are different in their own amazing ways and should be treated with nothing but love and respect (and plenty of treats!) Anyone who knows me will know I am a little bit obsessed with dogs, I've been known to cross many streets to pet the dog on the other side, because who would want to miss out on meeting a cute new dog? I work most weekends so am available during the week for any walks or checking in on your pets. I work most weekends, so have all the time in the week for walking, sitting or just popping in on your little fur babies when needed. I have one dog at home but he has another home nearby he can go to if your dog doesn’t like other dogs company! I have a large fenced in garden attached to a cricket field that is easily accessible for a quick walk. I’m also based near many scenic rural paths for those wanting longer walks.
