“Hannah was wonderful she looked after my old dog Troy like he was her own gave him lots of cuddles which he loved the photos she sent showed how happy he was to see her and I knew he was in good hands not many people want to look after an old dog but Hannah was brilliant put my mind at ease whilst we were away with daily contact”

“Torrie was fantastic with my two shy cats who usually avoid strangers. One of them even warmed up to Torrie and asked for fuss, which never happens! The daily updates and photos while we were away gave us total peace of mind. Highly recommended—thank you, Torrie!"”


About: I have grown up with working spaniels and labradors on a farm, as well as having these dogs as working they have been loved pets. They are walked 2/3 times a day which is either at the beach in Saltburn or in the woodlands. I live in Scissett at the moment and the countryside/woodland is just perfect to have a furry companion by my side to enjoy it with. I'm the kind of person who will cross the road purposely to pet a dog! I work full time, but I work from home 2/3 days a week. I'm always available to put in leave also if this makes sitting easier, or if you are happy with the dog to come into my office with me then you can sure expect them to be coming for coffee breaks and treats with me. Pets really are part of the family so they will be treated as so in my home, whether they would want to sleep on my bed, on their bed, or anywhere else that's fine with me. They would be given endless cuddles and love while being with me.

“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: I’ve always loved dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I provide a safe, calm and caring environment where your dog will be taken good care of. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime and cuddles, while sticking to their usual routine as closely as possible. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet, so I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages throughout their stay. Whether your dog is energetic and loves adventures or prefers a quiet day relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable and well cared for until they’re back home with you. I have a flexible schedule and WFH during the week and off work on weekends so your dog will receive plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding or just relaxing together, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I have a secure, fully fenced garden where they can safely enjoy time outside, along with a clean, calm home. As I don’t have any pets of my own, your dog will have my full attention during their stay. I’ll follow their usual routine for feeding, walks and any medication if needed, and I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

About: With over 40 years of caring for dogs, I bring a lifetime of knowledge, love, and hands‑on experience to every walk. I’m an animal lover through and through, having looked after everything from graceful Greyhounds to fun-loving Frenchie's — and just about every personality and breed in between. I understand that every dog is unique, so I offer a full, flexible service, tailored to your pet’s individual needs. Whether they require gentle strolls, energetic adventures, confidence-building outings, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I make sure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and suited to them. I am fully insured and DBS checked, giving you complete peace of mind. Your dog’s wellbeing, routine, and happiness are always my top priority, and I take pride in providing reliable, caring support that you can trust. I’m flexible and available all week, offering care that fits around your dog’s individual needs. Whether they need regular walks, home visits, tailored routines or day / overnight care, I’m happy to help. Your dog’s comfort and wellbeing always come first. I’m happy to walk dogs in their familiar environments, keeping routines consistent and reassuring — or take them somewhere new if they enjoy fresh sights and smells. Living in Denby Dale means we’re surrounded by beautiful walks, so we’ll never be short of inspiration or safe routes to explore. I offer a full, flexible service tailored to your dog’s individual needs. Whether that’s a longer adventure, a gentle stroll, or simply popping in to give them company and reassurance, I’m confident I can accommodate whatever helps them feel happy and secure.

“I highly recommend Alison as a pet sitter. She graciously cared for Ami during our 6-day trip, and our cat clearly adores her. Alison's attentive care and genuine affection for Ami were evident in every interaction. From feeding to playtime, she went above and beyond to ensure Ami's comfort and well-being. It's such a relief to have found such a reliable and caring pet sitter in Alison. We can't thank her enough for the peace of mind she provided while we were away.”

“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: 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. 🐾
“Kashia made sure my cat and rabbit were well fed and watered and kept litters tidy. She left treats around the house for him to find, and posted regular updates to the app. Reliable service 👍”


About: I’ve just completed a 2 year animal management course at Askham Bryan College. I have experience working at a dog kennels, a dog training club and a doggy daycare! I have always loved animals, I don’t remember a time I haven’t had some kind of pet. I feel confident with different breeds of dogs and can work with any specialised needs they may have. I also feel comfortable looking after cats (I have 4 of my own and have past experience cat sitting). I’m currently completing a college course, it is only 1 day in person a week - the rest is online. This means my schedule is very flexible. The only day I need to be out is Thursdays from 9.30am to 4.30pm. I have lots of experience with animals, from my personal life and from college and work experience. College has helped me identify and understand safety risks and safety measures to take, including following legislation to protect both animals and people.
“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 owned dogs since they were born so have vast experience. I have looked after them from puppies until end of life. I much prefer animals to humans. I am DBS checked so you know your animals are in safe hands I am fully flexible with care! I’m self employed in my day job so am able to work around you! I can fit in walks or sits which work round you! I have a fenced front and back yard. I have children who know how to behave around dogs. I will treat your dog as I do my own (spoilt)
“Jodie was once again an excellent pet sitter for Pisco. Pisco got a small wound, and Jodie immediately offered to take care of it, as well as keeping him entertained while we were away. We’re very grateful for all the care Jodie provided.”

About: I had a miniature poodle named Jack Sparrow who very sadly passed away earlier this year from old age. He was 16. I have also taken care of friends dogs in my home whilst they have been away. Regular walks are guaranteed. Your dogs will be loved and well looked after whilst in my care. My cat can easily be taken to my parents house while I am caring for your dog x I work from home so would be able to be with your dogs continuously. If I am caring for your dog, they would be my sole focus while they were with me so I could follow their usual routines. I have an enclosed fenced garden with grass, decking and stone. Dogs would be kept downstairs unless fully house trained in which case would have free rein.
