“This was Darcy’s first walker and Nova was great with her, and putting her at ease. We got regular updates from Nova and photos which really helped. We will definitely be using Nova again!”

“Thank you for everything you are doing with Koda I can see a massive improvement in him already, he is walking better on the lead and showing improvement with his confidence outside of the house”

“Shannon has been brilliant. She arrives on time every day, and takes the time to fuss Charlie before his walk, I get photos and updates everyday so I know exactly where he’s been and what he’s done. Charlie absolutely loves Shannon and gets super excited when he sees her. I can highly recommend Shannon and will definitely be using her again.”

“I booked Kim to walk my rescue dog Nay, Nay has had a really tough life with lots of nervousness around people and other dogs. I was really impressed that Kim not only suggested a meet & greet but also a trial walk with herself and myself to ensure all went well. I felt really at ease with Kim she knew how to get Nay to respond on our trial walk, Nay was completely focused on her the entire time and the usual chaos walk I’m used to was completely different. I was more than happy to then let Kim and Nay go off together and enjoy there walk. Nay came back exhausted and happy she even tried to follow Kim to the car to go home with her. I’ve never known her to take to someone so well and I now can be at ease knowing Nay is being walked while I’m at work by someone who is so easily to get along with. Very friendly young woman with lots of knowledge and nothing was too much trouble. I had to change the time at short notice and Kim made me feel like it was no trouble at all. I would recommend her without a doubt.”

“Frances was very professional right from the meet and greet with cooper and kept us informed every day about his walk sending pictures and pupdates we will definitely be using her again.”

About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My family has a lovable 11-year-old Labrador whom I helped train from puppyhood — from basic commands to good leash manners. We also shared 18 wonderful years with a gentle British Shorthair cat, so I understand the unique needs of both dogs and cats at every life stage. Whether it’s energetic playtime, patient training, or quiet cuddles, I treat every pet like my own. Your furry family member will get the same love, attention, and care I’ve given my own for decades. Because I work from home, your pet gets my full attention all day. I can easily fit in frequent potty breaks, play sessions, and walks, and I’m always around for company and cuddles. My flexible schedule means I can stick closely to your pet’s routine — whether that’s early morning walks, midday training, or late-night check-ins. Having pets around while I work makes my day better, and I love giving them the same care, patience, and companionship I’ve given my own over the years Whether your pet is staying at my place or I’m visiting yours, they’ll get the same love, attention, and comfort they’re used to. In my home, I make sure there’s plenty of space to play, cozy spots for naps, and a safe, calm environment. I stick to your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, and playtime so they feel secure and happy. When I care for pets in their own home, I keep things consistent — from their favorite walk routes to the way they like their food prepared. My goal is to make every visit or stay feel like home, so your furry friend stays relaxed, loved, and well-cared for.
About: Dogs have been a big part of my life for many years, and I have had four dogs of my own as an adult. This has given me lots of practical, hands-on experience and made me very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, routines and needs. I have also looked after friends’ and family members’ dogs in my home, so I understand how important it is to create a calm, safe and caring environment where dogs can feel settled and relaxed. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I would always treat your dog with the same kindness, patience and attention I would want for my own. I am reliable, attentive and genuinely enjoy being around dogs, and I would always aim to make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable and well cared for. I have a flexible routine, so I can make sure pets get the time, care and attention they need. I am happy to work around walks, feeding times and your pet’s usual habits to help them feel comfortable and settled. I have a fenced garden and a friendly pug-cross to keep your pets company. There are also three teenagers at home so the will never be lonely and have lots of attention.

About: I had my greyhound, Poppy, for ten years. Losing her recently was genuinely one of the hardest things, and if you know, you know. So yes, part of why I'm here is because I miss having a dog around. But mostly it's because I genuinely love them, I understand them, and I know exactly what it feels like to hand your dog over to someone and hope they actually care. I've looked after dogs of all sizes for family and friends over the years, big breeds and small ones, and I treat every single one the way I treated Poppy. Like they matter. Because they do. What you can expect from me: Regular updates and photos so you're never left wondering A calm, relaxed environment, no chaos Plenty of attention, walks, and fuss Someone who actually gets how much your dog means to you. Greyhounds taught me patience and gentleness. Ten years of that stays with you. Your dog is in safe hands. Available weekends for all types of sitting! I work full time and I’m self employed so sometimes I am available mid week! So feel free to message if availability isn’t showing. Your dog gets treated exactly how I treated mine for ten years. Fed on time, walked properly, never left for too long, and given actual attention rather than just being in the background. I know greyhounds, so I understand that different dogs need different things. Some need calm. Some need stimulation. I read the dog in front of me as well as the checklist. You'll get updates throughout the day so you're never sat wondering. Photos, messages, whatever keeps your mind at ease. Your home or mine, the standard stays the same.
“Liam has walked our dog a couple of times now and takes good care of him. He sends photos of him on walks and Hamish always looks really happy to see him. He even thought to bring a towel with him when it was raining!”


About: I’ve had dogs around me since I was a baby, so looking after them has always just been part of life. Friends and family know I’m the go-to person when they’re away — I make sure their dogs are fed, walked, and given plenty of attention. I’ve looked after all sorts of breeds and temperaments over the years, and I treat every dog like my own. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I work from home most days, so I’ve got plenty of time for walks, feeding, and play. I plan my day around the dogs I’m looking after — making sure they get regular attention, fresh air, and company throughout the day. I live in a safe, comfortable 2-bedroom apartment in Yorkshire with lots of nearby parks for walks. I always make sure pets are supervised, doors are secure, and they have a calm space to relax. When caring for dogs in their own home, I follow the owner’s routine closely to keep everything familiar and stress-free.

I have a very friendly little dog of my own who can keep your dog company, he loves to meet new dogs and loves to play, he has a lovely temperament so would make a great companion for any dog.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years and have grown up with Newfoundlands, Labrador’s, Spaniels, Staffies and now have our own rescue called Rex. He absolutely loves other dogs / cats / chickens and thrives from animal company! I work from home Monday, Wednesday and Fridays and my partner Henry works from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Usually our day starts with a walk at around 8am - 9am. Regular toilet breaks throughout the day and another evening short walk if needed. We both love animals and dogs, they get lots of attention in our house. We have a high fenced garden at the back of our house and a locked gate so dogs are fully secure at all times. We live a 5 minute walk to thornes park. I live with my partner Henry and our dog Rex, who’s 1 years old and is a border collie cross. He loves other dogs, is very playful and he knows when to switch off and relax. He especially loves large breeds as he spends a lot of time with my parents Newfoundlands but recently made a strong bromance with a dachshund we were looking after for 2 weeks.

Fabulous!! Liam was quick to respond to my messages and agreed to walk Milo at last minute. He came in his free time to meet Milo prior and chat to ensure I was happy with everything. Arrived promptly for the walk and sent lots of lovely photos. Would highly recommend. Thank you so much!

We are so glad to have chose. Ella to take care of Max while we are at work. She performed drop ins daily, arriving on time, updating us and leaving great pictures. Max clearly had a great time too and seemed like he had an extra great day when Ella had been in. It is also reassuring knowing how highly skilled she is in what she does. She also followed our special requests perfectly. I would highly recommend Ella and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!
