“I can’t recommend Torrie enough. She’s been amazing with Hamilton and it’s obvious she’s a genuine animal lover. She spends time with him and lets him come to her in his own time. The photos, videos and updates she sends while I’m away give me complete peace of mind because I know he’s happy and being so well looked after. I’ve already used Torrie twice and have already booked her again for my next holiday. It’s such a relief knowing Hamilton is in such caring hands, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable and who genuinely loves animals.”

“This was our first time using Rover as the grand-fur parents weren’t available to drop in on James. We’re so happy we found Leah as Mr. Grumpy pants warmed up to her immediately. She provided detailed check in reports and plenty of photos of him in the short time we were away. We will definitely reach out to her again for future cat sitting! Thank you Leah :)”

Scissett, HD8

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.

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.

“Jade popped in to see Rue most days over the last two weeks and we can’t be more grateful. Rue was very happy when we got home everyday so we knew that Jade had done a good job of entertaining her. She gave us plenty of updates and built trust immediately :) would definitely recommend and would like you to come again in future!”

“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.”

“This is the first time I left my cats with anyone other than family. I didn’t need to worry. Brontë sent me photos and updated me after each visit. The cats obviously loved her as they came out from under the bed for cuddles. Could not recommend Brontë more and will definitely be using her again in the future.”

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.

Mirfield, WF14

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life from a young age. I’ve raised my own dogs from puppyhood through to adulthood as well as having cats and I regularly care for my brother’s Staffy, who is the sweetest soul! I was also fortunate to learn puppy training to a very high standard from an ex-police dog handler, giving me a strong understanding of dog behaviour, training and communication. I’m a very nurturing, patient and soft-hearted person who genuinely loves getting to know each animal’s individual personality. I understand that every dog is different so I’m happy to adapt my approach to suit their temperament, routine, boundaries and needs whether they’re energetic, nervous, independent, cuddly or somewhere in between. I absolutely love being outdoors and spend lots of my own time walking and hiking, so getting out for adventures with a four legged companion is something I’d genuinely enjoy!! I also have experience working in the care sector, so I’m confident and responsible when it comes to medication, routines and individual care needs. Ultimately, I want every animal in my care to feel safe, loved, stimulated and comfortable while their owners are away 🐶❤️ As a self-employed artist, I manage my own schedule, which gives me lots of flexibility and means I can dedicate my full attention to your pet when I’m pet sitting. I can plan my work around their routine rather than leaving them waiting around for me. I’m particularly flexible with boarding and longer stays and I love being able to give pets plenty of walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles and company throughout the day. I’m happy to discuss individual routines and work around what your pet is used to at home. I live on the ground floor of a beautiful old mill with lovely high ceilings and a huge area of greenery surrounding the property. While this isn’t a private fenced garden, the green space is frequently used by local dog walkers, so there are plenty of opportunities for toilet breaks and fresh air throughout the day. As the area is not fenced, I would always keep dogs securely on a lead when outside unless their owner has specifically discussed a suitable alternative with me. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual needs and will follow their usual routines, feeding instructions, medication and house rules wherever possible. I’ll make sure they have a calm, safe and loving environment, with plenty of company, walks, playtime, enrichment and cuddles. I’ll also keep owners updated and let them know promptly if I notice anything unusual about their pet.

About: I’ve spent over 6 years living and working in a dog hotel, where I cared for pups of all sizes, ages, and personalities every single day. From playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs, I’ve learned how to make every dog feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve also grown up surrounded by a variety of breeds my whole life, so I’m comfortable understanding their different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. Whether it’s going for walks, giving belly rubs, or keeping a consistent routine, I treat every dog like part of my own family. My schedule is very flexible! I work from home most of the time, which allows me to give plenty of attention and care to your pup throughout the day. My weeks are usually very open, so I can easily work around your dog’s specific needs — whether that’s regular walks, playtime, or just extra cuddles and company. I’m happy to adjust my schedule to fit what works best for you and your furry friend Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I live in a clean, secure flat that provides a calm and cozy environment where your pup can relax and feel at home. Since I have a flexible schedule, I’m around most of the day to give your dog plenty of attention, supervision, and care. Walks, playtime, and potty breaks are always on a consistent routine, and I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and cared for like family. You can trust that your furry friend will be in a peaceful, loving, and well-managed space.

I’m available most weekdays from mid‑afternoon onwards, and weekends are wide open for boarding or longer stays. Because my schedule isn’t packed or rushed, I can take my time with walks, play, training and keeping your dog settled. Whether it’s regular drop‑ins or last‑minute bookings, I’m able to fit pet care smoothly into my week and make sure your dog gets consistent, relaxed companionship.
