Dog Sitting Monk Bretton

About: I hold a Level 2 Animal Care qualification (Distinction), I'm fully insured, licensed and hold a Canine First Aid Certificate, so your dog is always in safe hands. Licence number: 168532 What sets me apart is my patient, calm approach and focus on building trust with every dog I care for. Whether it’s a gentle stroll, an energetic walk, basic training or a comforting pop-in visit, I always make sure each dog feels happy, secure, and understood. 💚 I’m based in Thurnscoe, Barnsley, and cover the surrounding areas — offering reliable walks, pop-ins, basic training (lead work, recall, sit and stays) and plenty of cuddles along the way! Pet care is now part of my everyday routine — it’s what I do full time! I plan my day around walks, pop-ins and dog home boarding to make sure every dog gets the time and attention they deserve. I keep a clear schedule so dogs have consistency and never feel rushed or forgotten. When I visit a client’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect as my own. I always follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, cleaning and routines to make sure each pet feels comfortable and secure. I take time to build trust, offer cuddles and play and leave everything just as I found it — with a happy, relaxed dog!

About: Hi! I am just starting on this site formally so building my new profile but I have had dogs for over 30 years and have the most loving Staffy (Sapphy). I have many years of experience pet sitting for all kind of dogs, big and small, cute and cuddly, energetic non stop attention seekers and chilled sofa, grumpy won’t go out if it’s raining ones and I’ll only come near you if you have food ones and the very anxious ones that take a lot of time and patience to build their trust in you then become your shadow ones. I’ve looked after puppy’s in the process of potty & crate training and older dogs providing medicine and special care. I look after pets in their home so they get to stay in their own environment and keep their routine - including overnight stays if needed. I can provide all day or multiple visit approaches including a late visit and early morning visit if not staying the night. I’ve taken dogs for long long walks, ran around with frisbees and balls, taken them to hydrotherapy sessions or just for pool fun and shenanigans and spent all day cuddling the ones that just don’t want to do anything other than chill and sleep. I look after your house, moving mail away from the front door and leaving it clean and secure for you coming home. I work part time for a bank (8 years) from home so can care most days working out of your house or visiting regularly. Above all of the pet related care I provide, I can provide peace of mind that your home is safe and secure and 100% trust - which is why I provide an enhanced DBS check, you can visit me at my home so you can get a feel for me and build trust (I don’t board here), you can see any ID and I am always accessible for a FaceTime or call when I am caring for your pet with twice daily photos and updates. I currently work part time at home with 1 day in the office all day (usually a Tuesday) but don’t work at all Thursday to Sunday so specialise in long weekend care for those requiring all day and night sitting but if I can work from your house I am flexible and can cover longer holidays by changing my work schedule. I only care for pets in your home currently as my dog isn’t fond of anything furry! I can provide half hour visits once a day to full day and night care or multiple visit care where I would not leave them for more than a few hours in the day, making at least one visit mid day, one early morning visit and one evening visit to settle them down for the night. I work with you to deliver the best approach but never leave a dog more than 6 hours and only have one client booking at a time. It only ever me that would be in your home, no kids, no pets just me and your pets.

“Ryan was lovely with blade and layla whilst I was at work give them treats put fresh water down played with them. Sent me photos of both and even cleaned up after one had a accident during that heatwave last week was so kind of him. Blade and layla love him only met several times but it will be a on going thing several times whilst im out working but he was brilliant with them.”

About: I regularly care for a friendly cocker spaniel, so it's important that your dog is comfortable around other dogs. I've been informally dog sitting for around two years now and I really enjoy it. I work an office job during the week, so I am available to help from Friday at 3pm until Sunday evening. I'm an active sitter and love a long outdoor adventure in all weathers. I'm just as happy to take a stroll on lead down my nearby lanes, engage in a game of fetch or have a cheeky snuggle on the sofa for the afternoon - sometimes its hard to tell who's having more fun :) Your dogs will be free to roam around the bungalow, which is based in a quiet cul de sac in Great Houghton. There are no rules to where they can go, they are free to enjoy beds, sofas and the small enclosed garden we have out the back of the bungalow. I will try to stick to your normal routines where possible and will of course send updates and photos as many times as you need, I want you to feel just as relaxed as your pet. I work Monday to Friday so I'm only available on weekends. I usually have a cocker spaniel on a Saturday so please only get in touch if your dog is comfortable around other dogs I'm in a quiet cul de sac with an enclosed garden. There are lots of fun walks near me in varying length. Animals that stay here are treated as members of the family and will be loved and cared for as you would your own :)

“I can’t recommend Olivia enough! She took such amazing care of my doggies while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind. From the moment i met her, it was clear how caring, responsible, and attentive she is with animals. Throughout the time I was away, Olivia kept me constantly updated with lots of videos, photos, and messages, which meant so much to me. It was so reassuring to see how happy and relaxed the dogs were with her. She made sure they were well fed, comfortable, and had plenty of attention and time in the garden. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pets, but Olivia went above and beyond and treated them like her own. I came home to two very happy doggies! I’m incredibly grateful and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. We will definitely be using her again!!!”

“Erika looked after our cats again for the second time whilst we went away for 10 days. We had twice daily updates and pictures which was a massive reassurance, felt so confident knowing they were been well looked after. We came home to very happy and relaxed cats. Will happily use Erika again in the future x”

About: Hi, I’m Chloe! ☺️ I’ve always had a huge passion for animals, and truly can’t think of anything better than spending my days with dogs! 🐾 I grew up surrounded by pups of all shapes and sizes — from Great Danes and Springer Spaniels to a cheeky little Jack Russell — so I know just how different (and special!) every dog’s personality can be. I live in Milton, Barnsley. This means I am super close to several large parks and miles of gorgeous countryside — the perfect spots for long or short walks, exploring, and getting all that happy energy out. Whether your pooch loves a good game of fetch or a steady countryside stroll, I’ll make sure they have the best time. Any dogs I look after are treated like my own — plenty of love, cuddles, and maybe a few too many treats! You can relax knowing your beloved companion is safe, happy, and being completely spoiled while you’re away. I love nothing more than spoiling your pooch - rest assured your baby will be treat like the prince or princess that they are whilst youre away! I will photograph/video & update everything we get up to so you feel like you are with us the whole time (unless you need a break!) 🐶💛 My prices vary and I am more than open to a discussion about pricing to what suits your needs! I have been walking dogs since I was 11 - My family had a springer spaniel and I used to walk him everywhere - he was so active and so am I - so we worked well! Since this, I have always enjoyed walking pooches. I lived in Leeds for 10 years and had a few regular dogs that I walked and looked after including a Cocker Spaniel, Staffie & Schnauzer. My Availability 🐾 I currently work Monday to Friday from 8:30-4PM - but my weekends are all about the dogs! 🐶💛 From Friday evening through Sunday night, I’m completely free to look after your pups and give them my full attention. Whether they love long countryside walks or just want to curl up on the sofa for snuggles, I’ve got them covered. I’m lucky to have lots of lovely walking routes nearby — perfect for getting some fresh air and tail wags in! And if your dog prefers a more relaxed vibe, they’re always welcome to make themselves at home and chill on the sofa with me. 🐕 I do work nearby so I am able to pop home on lunch breaks too 🐶 Your dog’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I live in a cozy house with a large, secure garden — perfect for safe playtime and fresh air. Being in a rural area means we’re surrounded by peaceful countryside walks and quiet lanes, ideal for relaxed strolls or energetic adventures, depending on your pup’s personality. I take every precaution to make sure your furry friend feels comfortable, cared for, and safe at all times. You can count on regular updates, plenty of photos, and complete peace of mind knowing your dog is in loving, responsible hands. 💛

“First time me booking with them, they showed up 2 minutes early ! Shocking I know , actually got Luna to show her face what was a surprise and sent me some photos what was nice and did everything on the list I asked them to do . They took their shoes off as they came in the house what a crazy amount of people don’t do these days ! 10/10 would book again”

About: From a family of dog lovers - I am the designated dog sitter! From small to large breeds, I have experience and am very comfortable in caring for all. I currently work flexibly so can be available to care for your loved ones at home whilst I’m working at home - or on weekends for complete devotion! My job is very relaxed so walks and breaks will be a plenty during the day. I have a private and gated garden, based on a quiet cul-de-sac. Dogs are welcome to roam my house and garden freely - a home away from home!

About: I enjoy spending time with dogs, going on long walks and playing with them as it keeps me busy as well as their enjoyment :) For the moment I’m off uni, when I’m back to uni I am free 4 days a week and every evening to look after pets I am a very loveable person and will give dogs lots of affection and attention as well as long walks and lots of treats and entertainment

“Leia was brilliant . I was very anxious about leaving my cat for first time since the death of his best feline friend, they were a bonded pair. Leia was so supportive and very kind and friendly. I relaxed as soon as I met her and new she'd take good care of him, which she did. She kept in touch , sent regular messages so I knew all was ok, so was able to enjoy my holiday. Leia is very consensus and did a brilliant job, always on time and took great care of my cat. Thank you so much Leia.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, small animals, and puppies. My background in education has taught me to be patient, observant, and highly attentive—qualities that translate directly into excellent pet care. I’m confident handling energetic pets who need active engagement as well as calmer or senior animals who require a gentler, more structured routine. What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of reliability, genuine affection for animals, and strong communication skills. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and stimulated while keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages. I’m experienced with basic puppy training, reinforcing positive behaviours, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m also comfortable supporting senior pets with slower-paced walks, medication reminders, and extra care when needed. My goal is always to make your pet’s time with me feel like a second home—safe, fun, and full of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have plenty of availability and genuinely enjoy spending my time with animals. I’m flexible with scheduling and able to accommodate daytime, evening, and weekend bookings, which allows me to adapt to each pet’s needs and routine. Whether it's regular walks, drop-in visits, or longer stays, I’m able to give pets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care, making sure they’re never rushed and always get the time, patience, and engagement they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities whenever I care for someone’s pet. Whether I’m looking after them in my home or in the owner’s home, I create a calm, structured, and secure environment so pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident. In a pet owner’s home, I follow all routines exactly as instructed—feeding schedules, walk times, house rules, and any special needs. I make sure doors and gates are always properly secured, keep a close eye on the pet’s behaviour, and maintain a clean, tidy environment. I respect the owner’s space and ensure their home is left just as I found it. I also provide regular updates so owners always know how their pet is doing.

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and spending time outdoors, so dog walking is something I genuinely enjoy rather than just a job. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll, a long adventure, or exploring new routes, I’m happiest with a four-legged friend by my side! 🌿🐕 I’m an active, caring, and reliable person who will always match the pace, personality, and energy of the dog I’m with—whether they’re full of zoomies or prefer taking life one sniff at a time. A little about my experience 🦴 I’ve had dogs for over 10 years and have regularly cared for the pets of family and friends, so I’m comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and routines. I also have a Labrador of my own, so I know all about the energetic, slightly chaotic “crazy dog” moments! Whether your dog loves to run, play fetch, swim, or simply curl up for cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved throughout our time together. Every dog is unique, so I’ll always take the time to get to know their routine, personality, and what makes them happiest. ❤️ I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages 📸 so you can relax knowing your best friend is having a great time. I’m currently working part-time, so I’m able to offer flexible availability Monday- Wednesday. I am happy to provide morning, afternoon, and evening drop-in visits where possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I make sure to follow all care instructions closely, keep pets secure during walks and visits, and provide a calm and caring environment while you’re away.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and small animals. I understand the unique needs of different pets—energetic pups, shy seniors, and tiny critters alike—and focus on creating calm, safe, and happy environments. I offer flexible scheduling to make sure your pets get care that fits your routine: • Dog walking: mornings, afternoons, or evenings tailored to your dog’s energy and needs • Dog sitting & drop-ins: weekdays, weekends, or occasional evenings • Small animal visits: daily or as needed for feeding, habitat care, and playtime Every visit is calm, consistent, and stress-free, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s unique routine to ensure they feel safe and cared for.

About: Although I don’t have formal professional experience, I’ve spent my entire life caring for and being around dogs, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs and behaviours. I’ve also cared for pets belonging to family and friends - always giving them the same love and attention I would my own. 💞 Pet care is woven into my everyday life. I have the time and flexibility to give animals the attention they need - whether that’s feeding, walking, playing, or simply keeping them company. I enjoy making their wellbeing a priority, from daily routines to extra cuddles and care whenever needed. I love filling my camera roll with furry friends, so I’ll be sure to keep you updated throughout the day with plenty of photos of how your pet is getting on! I also genuinely enjoy cleaning, so I’m happy to offer a general tidy of your home at no extra cost - meaning you can return to a fresh, clean space after your time away. 🫧

“Niamh was extremely helpful with our last-minute booking request. My large German Shepherd took kindly to her and she seemed very sweet with him. It was apparent that he trusted her and I am very thankful that she was able to provide care for him.”
