About: I’ve grown up with dogs as part of my family and have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds and temperaments. As an adult, I’ve owned Rottweilers, Bedlington Terriers, Cavapoos and Labradors, giving me confidence with dogs of all sizes, energy levels and personalities. I’m experienced in calmly managing everything from reactive dogs to very relaxed, easy-going companions. I’ve completed extensive training for a variety of needs from reactivity to anxiety and basic obedience. Alongside caring for my own dogs, I regularly dog-sit for friends and family and have also supported elderly people in my local area by providing reliable, friendly dog walking services. I treat every animal with patience, respect and genuine affection, always prioritising their safety and wellbeing. 🐾 I work from home on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and I’m available for boarding from Wednesday to Sunday when I’ll be at home all day to give your pets my undivided attention 🤍 I prioritise safety, routine and comfort when caring for pets in my home or a pet owner’s home. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, taking time to understand individual needs, routines and triggers. Environments are kept calm, clean and secure, with careful management of doors, gates and lead protocols. When dogs board with me, they enjoy a securely fenced garden with space to roam, and access to nearby green spaces, fields and woodland for safe, enriching walks. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including reactive dogs, and use calm, positive handling to help every pet feel settled and secure. I treat every animal as if they were my own and provide regular updates for peace of mind. 🐾

“Review Katarzyna took care of our Labrador Spencer for 2 1/2 weeks whilst we took a family holiday. We met with her twice before our trip and both times she filled us with confidence that she would take good care of him and give him the time, attention and care he has at home. During our holiday we were sent frequent photos, videos and updates of Spencer and always received quick replies to our messages and questions. Spencer appears to have had a great ‘holiday’ and clearly enjoyed the experience of mixing with other dogs in a safe and well managed environment. Spencer has come home happy and healthy. We would highly recommend Katarzyna and would use her to care for Spencer again if she is available in the future.”

About: I’m a caring, responsible dog owner living in the Holmfirth countryside with my dog Bella. I provide personalised, loving care and treat every dog like family.

“Sierra absolutely loved her stay with Jacob! I could tell she was really happy and comfortable there, which made us feel so much better about leaving her. Jacob and his family seemed so lovely and friendly, always replied really quickly and kept us updated while we were away. We felt like Sierra was in really good hands the whole time. Would definitely recommend and would happily have Sierra stay with them again! 😊🐾”

About: I have been rescuing and caring for dogs since I was a young child, so animal care is second nature to me. Currently, our home is shared with our well-trained dog, Bonnie, and our sweet cat, Luna. Because I’ve raised my children to respect and properly care for animals from an early age, our entire household is calm, attentive, and welcoming. We keep an active schedule with 2 to 3 walks a day for Bonnie, ensuring any guest dog gets plenty of exercise, structure, and love. Whether your pet needs high energy outdoor time or gentle daily care, they’ll be treated like part of our family. As a school teacher currently on school holidays, my schedule is completely open and dedicated full time to pet care! I am at home all day, which allows me to offer round the clock supervision, flexible walk times, and constant companionship. During term time, I am available outside school hours and on weekends for walks, drop ins, and boarding. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home features a secure garden, and I share it with my well trained, friendly dog, Bonnie, and our cat, Luna. Having raised my children to be respectful and gentle with animals, our home provides a calm, safe environment for guest pets. We stick closely to your pet's routine, ensure secure leash walks, and can easily accommodate crating or specific care needs.

“From the first time I spoke to Leia, I felt comfortable with the thought of leaving our boy with her. Stan had a great time during his stay, wad very well looked after and the updates and photos throughout were lovely. We'll definitely be contacting Leia next time we go away!”

About: Wmi am the owner of 2 yo black labrador call Rolo. I know how difficult it is to find someone to look after your pet. Hence why i decided to help you out hoping that someone would do the same for us whole we are away. I am prepared to look after 1-2 dogs at a time. I am self employed and prepared to adjust my schedule to pet care. Working from home. Fully prepared to adjust. I am a proud mama of one dog that loves everybody, so no problem here. I live in a house that is fully fenced. Lots of walking paths and fields around. No rain or snow can stop us to go out.

“Eve and her son were brilliant with Kobie. Very attentive to my instructions, accommodated his needs and most importantly gave him lots of cuddles, walks and attention. Kept me up to date through photos and texts. Kobie was a very happy dog when I picked him up which says it alk!”

“We honestly couldn’t ask for a better dog boarder than Rhiannon. Our dogs have stayed with her twice now and they’ve had the best time both times. She takes them out on little day trips and adventures, which is amazing, it’s like a proper holiday for them. They always come back happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. Our spaniels stayed 2 weekends in a a row. The biggest giveaway of how great she is was how excited our dogs got when we pulled up for the second weekend. Would 100% recommend Rhiannon.”

About: I'm insured and licensed dog boarder. I stay at home most time and looking after dogs is my main job. I absolutely love spoiled pets and welcome any requests for special care. I drive my own car- It makes me flexible with times and always available in case of emergency, I can also offer pick up and drop off if needed. I have a lot of experience and understanding for our 4legged friends, I'm also trained to provide first aid. You'll be updated with pictures or videos every day when you're away! My house is situated next to the woods, where we go walking twice a day. Length of the walk will be adjusted to the dogs energy level and preferences. I have a spacious fenced garden where we spend a lot of time on sunny days. In case of rain, dogs will be let out every 2-4 hours.

“I couldn’t be happier with Chanel, she was absolutely wonderful with Tilly - she was very friendly, and clearly a true animal lover. She sent me regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. And Tilly back happy, calm, and clearly well looked after. I’ll definitely be booking with you again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving pet care! x x”

“Coco had a fantastic time with Melanie, it was the first time we had left her with someone she didn’t know and we did worry but didn’t need to as she had a great time. Was great to get a photo to see how settled she was on the first night and also see her happy face when we collected her and it was obvious she had enjoyed herself. Definitely will be using Melanie again!”

About: I have always been around dogs from been a young child, My family have always had dogs ranging from large to small. I am currently enrolled on a dog training course which is due to begin in the next few weeks. I also dog walk with local dog walking groups every week and look after my friend and family's dog (Again, large and small). I enjoy learning about each breed and there quirks and I am able to behave consistently with a dog who may require more of this approach . I am currently a full time parent to a SEN child, so around school hours my time is spent caring for my little one. I like to be out walking during the day as this helps calm my busy mind, I enjoy caring for animals as I find this so rewarding and been outdoors. I had to give up my career and looking after animals is one thing I thoroughly enjoy and take something from, other than been a mum! I have a fully enclosed garden, and close by my home is close access to fields and TPT where I enjoy walking. I have 1 small nurtured male Lhasa apso who is friendly and well behaved. Providing the dog is house trained, they would be allowed to roam my home freely (Unless otherwise requested). They would be treated in a home from home experience.
