About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes, including rescue dogs, and have always loved their different personalities and characters. I offer boarding, daycare, dog walking and drop-in visits. We have a calm, family home with a secure fenced garden, and dogs are welcome to free-roam and make themselves at home. I work from home, so they’ll have plenty of company, attention and cuddles throughout the day. We enjoy long country walks and love having dogs join us on our adventures. We also have a playful miniature dachshund who loves having friends to play with! My 6-year-old son is a big dog lover and understands the importance of giving dogs space and respecting their boundaries. Your dog will be treated like one of the family, with lots of love, care and attention. 🐶❤️ I work from home, and my partner is also home during the day, so your dog will have plenty of company and attention. We enjoy regular walks, from shorter walks around the block and trips to the local field, to longer countryside adventures exploring woodlands, fields and parks. Our longer walks are usually an hour or more. We’re a very active family and love getting outdoors, so dogs staying with us will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, play and exploring, as well as plenty of time to relax at home. Your dog’s safety and happiness are really important to us. We have a secure, fenced garden and a calm, family home where dogs can feel safe and relaxed.

About: I regularly look after family dogs, making sure they are well fed, exercised, and cared for in a safe and loving environment. I enjoy spending time with them by taking them on walks, playing games, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. Looking after family dogs has helped me become responsible, patient, and confident in caring for animals. Although I work full time, I always make time to take dogs on walks in the evenings to ensure they get exercise and attention. I enjoy spending quality time with them after work and making sure they feel happy and cared for. On weekends, I especially love going on long walks with dogs and exploring new places outdoors together. My garden is a safe and secure space for dogs to play, relax, and explore freely. It is fully fenced and well-maintained, giving me confidence that dogs are protected while enjoying time outside. I also have a friendly Bedlington Whippet who loves the company of other dogs and helps keep them happy, active, and social during their stay.
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.
“Our first time using this service and it comes with some trepidation leaving your favourite child ;(we have 3 of those horrible human types too) with strangers. However from the first message and inviting us around with Rufus for a house visit, at which he disgraced himself, which I am ashamed to say, yet Amy was still happy to take care of him whilst we were off getting married! Over the visit everything went really smoothly and we were updated with how was doing and received many pictures of him having the time of his life (half we a sleep in various positions). It sounds like he was contributing to their office based pub quiz as well! Although I'm not sure he knows many answers I'm and certain he would happy form an alliance again with them in the future.”
“Betty had another fantastic stay with Janet and family. Really a home from home experience for her and she gets to make lots of new furry friends. Thank you so much!”
“Demi was brilliant sent photos and a video of Kia my fur baby she made herself comfortable on the sofa with Demi husband and made my time leaving with them so easy Kia got sulks on with me when I got her home because she had such a good time playing with Demi dog and cats. Definitely recommend Demi to any dog owners who after leave there pets whilst they are away. Thank you Demi I think Kia would like to come back for another good time.”

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.

“Emily and her family were incredible. They stepped in at the last minute to look after our 4‑year‑old Golden Retriever, and I’m genuinely grateful they did. From the moment he arrived, he was welcomed into their home and treated with such warmth and care. He was walked every day, and I received regular updates and photos — from happy garden lounging to cheerful walks and sweet moments with her son. It was obvious he felt completely relaxed and safe with them. He came home content, well looked after, and full of confidence. Knowing he was in such a loving family environment made the whole experience stress‑free for us. I would wholeheartedly recommend Emily and her family to anyone looking for reliable, kind, and genuinely caring dog sitters.”
“Lola stayed with Emma and her family for a week. She had a lovely time and was so well cared for. She had some wonderful days out at the dog park and enjoyed meeting g some new doggy playmates. I am sure Lola is looking forward to her next stay with Emma 😁”

About: Hi my name is Georgia, I’m an occupational therapist living in Barnsley.

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. 💛

“They looked after Buddy excellently including having to deal with his problem. Kept a close eye on him monitoring his behaviour and took him straight to the vets when he needed it. Kept me updated and gave him his medication. Thanks so much 🙏🏼”
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 am a huge cat loving student, currently studying Veterinary Medicine at the University of Cambridge. I am available in Barnsley in the holidays and Cambridge during term time (if you’re unsure about where I am at any time please just send me a message). I have had my own cats since I was 5 years old so I understand how important it is to know that your fur baby is looked after when you’re not there. I currently have 3 cats: Jess, Teddy and Brian, and have previously volunteered at a rescue centre helping to socialise abandoned and stray cats.
About: I found. A love for dogs when my sons got their dogs. I then spent three years in Bulgaria and helped at a dog rescue. I personally saved five dogs from the street. They were almost dead from starvation and covered in ticks. All found their forever homes. I have no other commitments and I am happy to look after your pets in your own home. I am honest, trustworthy, police checked, insured and reliable, and would treat your pets as my own. 😊 I have no other job or commitments so completely flexible. I can sit for any length of time and will follow any routines and instructions.

“I honestly can’t thank Stacey enough for the amazing care she gave Ozzy while I was at work. Leaving your dog with someone else can be worrying, but she made me feel completely at ease from day one. Stacey kept me updated with lots of lovely photos and messages throughout the day, so I always knew Ozzy was happy and having the best time. It was obvious she cared for him as if he were her own, giving him so much love, attention, and care. The biggest sign of all was on the second day—Ozzy couldn’t wait to get back and actually ran straight to her house with his tail wagging! That told me everything I needed to know about how comfortable and happy he was with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Stacey to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and genuinely passionate about dogs. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my boy, Ozzy.”
“Obie has been to Millie’s twice now and really loves it there. When we pull up outside Obie scrambles as the car window in excitement. Millie looks after Obie well and is attentive to her needs and the situation on the day. I am disabled and would struggle to get out of the car to a front door so Millie has been really accommodating by coming out and taking Obie from the car. Will carry on using and recommend!”

Whether your pet needs high energy outdoor time or gentle daily care, they’ll be treated like part of our family.

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: Hello I’m Jane. I live in Barnburgh, Doncaster with my husband David in a spacious home with a medium sized, secure garden that is fenced off and locked at all times. I am leaving my 9-5 office job to become a full time dog walker. I am available through the week and also at weekends. I have owned dogs my whole life and they have always been a big part of my family. At the moment I have 2 dogs; Albus, and Dot. Albus is a 2 year old cockapoo and bundle of joy, he will be joining me on most of my walks as he doesn’t leave my side. Dot is a 9 year old small lurcher and will occasionally join me but you’ll find them mostly chilling in the sun, enjoying a quiet life. I decided to become a dog walker to turn my passion for dogs into a career that I love. I have experience with a variety of breeds and personalities. Every dog is different, that’s why tailor my services to meet the unique needs of your pet. I work on building amazing bonds with the dogs I care for and trusting relationships with my clients too. I offer 1 hour dog walks as well as day care and overnight stays. Each service will begin with a free consultation with you and your dog. Whilst in my care, your dog will have access to my garden and my spacious kitchen area, which is where your dogs will sleep during overnight stays. I am happy to offer a pick up and drop off service. Please note, I will not walk more than 5 dogs at one time and will not keep more than 2 dogs overnight. I am fully insured, highly experienced, DBS checked and first aid trained. I can also offer basic dog training if requested. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends, Jane. After recently giving up my office job I am now available for all services required on a full time basis, during the week and weekends. I have secure, medium sized, locked garden that your dog will have access to. I have three dogs that are very welcoming to new pets. I also have added space to crate and/or separate if needed.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes, including rescue dogs, and have always loved their different personalities and characters. I offer boarding, daycare, dog walking and drop-in visits. We have a calm, family home with a secure fenced garden, and dogs are welcome to free-roam and make themselves at home. I work from home, so they’ll have plenty of company, attention and cuddles throughout the day. We enjoy long country walks and love having dogs join us on our adventures. We also have a playful miniature dachshund who loves having friends to play with! My 6-year-old son is a big dog lover and understands the importance of giving dogs space and respecting their boundaries. Your dog will be treated like one of the family, with lots of love, care and attention. 🐶❤️ I work from home, and my partner is also home during the day, so your dog will have plenty of company and attention. We enjoy regular walks, from shorter walks around the block and trips to the local field, to longer countryside adventures exploring woodlands, fields and parks. Our longer walks are usually an hour or more. We’re a very active family and love getting outdoors, so dogs staying with us will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, play and exploring, as well as plenty of time to relax at home. Your dog’s safety and happiness are really important to us. We have a secure, fenced garden and a calm, family home where dogs can feel safe and relaxed. Our miniature dachshund is friendly and loves having other dogs around, so your dog will have a companion during their stay. We always respect each dog’s individual personality, space and boundaries.

“Nikita came to meet Sky & Gunner today, she instantly made me feel at ease and explained all the services she offers. This was great as it’s the first time I have had a sitter for them. She took them both for a walk and they came back looking like they had a fab time. I will definitely be booking again for more walks and for a house sit.”
About: I have grown up around dogs and have owned two dogs in the past, giving me a strong understanding of daily dog care, routines, and responsibilities. In addition, I have regularly looked after family and friends’ dogs while they are away, providing feeding, walking, companionship, and home-based care. Through this experience, I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and needs, including those who prefer a calmer, more relaxed environment. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, settled, and well cared for when away from their owners. I do work full time 9-5 remotely at home during weekdays so I am able to care for your pet at weekdays and weekends I provide a calm, caring, and safe home environment for dogs. While I don’t currently own a dog myself, this allows me to give my full attention to any pets staying with me. My home has a secure, fully fenced garden, allowing dogs to enjoy safe outdoor time. I live right next to a park and have access to lots of nearby walking routes, so dogs will receive regular walks, exercise, and mental stimulation suited to their needs. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new, and I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and reassurance throughout their stay.
“Very nice person took msrley on a walk while I have pulled my ankle he seemed to have enjoyed himself as when he got back he went to sleep would recommend anyone for a dog walk with her”
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: We have both grown up having our own pets, having a variety of different animals, including multiple dogs and cats that we have fed, walked, bathed etc. We have looked after other peoples dogs, cats and other animals previously as well. This has given us lots of experience: we have looked after puppies, seniors, animals that have needed medication or other special treatments. We both have part-time work however with enough notice we can choose our hours to schedule around yours. We have different schedules so one of us is usually free if not both of us. If you do have a preference of which one of us visits your pet that’s fine as well just let us know, as we understand some animals have a preferred gender. We live in an apartment building but it there still has enough room for a small-medium sized dog if they can be quiet or any sized cat. The apartments are gated off with a little garden area on the property. And they is a big park next to my building for walks as well. We don’t mind looking after your pet at your own home to allow them to feel more comfortable in their environment as well. We will try cater to your dogs or cats needs as much as possible if you have any specific requests.
About: Hi, I’m a 34-year-old dog lover with a real passion for the outdoors and for seeing dogs truly happy and fulfilled. There’s nothing better to me than fresh air, long walks, and watching a pup’s tail wag with excitement. I believe every dog deserves not just exercise, but meaningful time outside where they can explore, sniff, play, and simply enjoy being a dog. I have six months of hands-on experience working with dogs, building confidence in handling different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I am also first aid trained, so your dog’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. You can feel reassured knowing they are in capable and caring hands. Looking ahead, I’m committed to expanding my professional qualifications. I plan to gain NASDU certifications in General Purpose (GP) and drug detection, as well as continue my studies to become a qualified behaviourist. I’m passionate about understanding dogs on a deeper level and constantly improving my knowledge and skills. Whether your dog loves high-energy adventures or calm, steady walks, I will always tailor our time together to suit their individual needs. My goal is to ensure they feel safe, stimulated, fulfilled, and loved every single time we’re out together. 🐾 I am happy to be available full time 7 days a week. I have flexible hours and I am able to work around you and your schedule. I can follow the routine you already have in place as my own dog thrives of routine. I believe that dogs need a combination of walks, play and fulfillment as well as plenty of rest.

About: I regularly look after family dogs, making sure they are well fed, exercised, and cared for in a safe and loving environment. I enjoy spending time with them by taking them on walks, playing games, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. Looking after family dogs has helped me become responsible, patient, and confident in caring for animals. Although I work full time, I always make time to take dogs on walks in the evenings to ensure they get exercise and attention. I enjoy spending quality time with them after work and making sure they feel happy and cared for. On weekends, I especially love going on long walks with dogs and exploring new places outdoors together. My garden is a safe and secure space for dogs to play, relax, and explore freely. It is fully fenced and well-maintained, giving me confidence that dogs are protected while enjoying time outside. I also have a friendly Bedlington Whippet who loves the company of other dogs and helps keep them happy, active, and social during their stay.

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.

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.

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.

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.

“Emily and her family were incredible. They stepped in at the last minute to look after our 4‑year‑old Golden Retriever, and I’m genuinely grateful they did. From the moment he arrived, he was welcomed into their home and treated with such warmth and care. He was walked every day, and I received regular updates and photos — from happy garden lounging to cheerful walks and sweet moments with her son. It was obvious he felt completely relaxed and safe with them. He came home content, well looked after, and full of confidence. Knowing he was in such a loving family environment made the whole experience stress‑free for us. I would wholeheartedly recommend Emily and her family to anyone looking for reliable, kind, and genuinely caring dog sitters.”
“Lola stayed with Emma and her family for a week. She had a lovely time and was so well cared for. She had some wonderful days out at the dog park and enjoyed meeting g some new doggy playmates. I am sure Lola is looking forward to her next stay with Emma 😁”
“Hannah was absolutely fantastic with my two dogs, took great care of them, and has such proactive communication that gives you so much confidence. Would absolutely book Hannah again and recommend her to everyone!”
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.
“Highly Recommend Ellie! I couldn't be happier with the care Rosie and Bella received from Ellie. They had an absolute blast with her and the other dogs, and it was so comforting to know they were in such good hands. They were incredibly well looked after. We will definitely be repeat clients!”
“Millie had been absolutely fantastic. I was a bit worried to leave them as this is the first time we've used a service like this but millie put me at ease. Regular photos and updates immediately put a smile on my face. 1000% recommend, your pups are in excellent hands. Xx”
About: I’m a qualified Veterinary Care Assistant with over six years of veterinary experience, and caring for animals has always been my passion. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with a wide range of species, breeds, and temperaments, giving me the confidence and knowledge to care for all kinds of pets. Whether they’re nervous, anxious, reactive, or simply full of energy, I understand that every animal is unique and deserves patient, compassionate care. At home, I have one dog, three cats, and horses, so animals have always been a huge part of my everyday life. I genuinely love spending time with them and treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. My Home My home is safe, secure, and fully pet-friendly, providing a calm environment where your pet can relax and feel at home. One of the reasons I decided to offer pet care is because I know exactly how it feels to leave your own dog behind. Whenever I’ve looked at kennels for my dog, I’ve always worried that she wouldn’t receive the same love, attention, and affection she gets at home. It made me feel anxious, and I know many owners feel exactly the same. That’s why I wanted to create a true home-from-home experience. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be loved, cared for, kept safe, and treated like part of the family. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is happy, secure, and receiving the individual attention they deserve. My Services Pet Boarding Your pet will enjoy a comfortable home environment with plenty of love, attention, and companionship. Dogs will be walked twice a day (tailored to their age, health, and routine) and will have lots of supervised playtime in our secure garden. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they have a happy and enjoyable stay. Doggy Day Care A fun, safe, and caring environment where your dog can play, socialise, relax, and enjoy plenty of attention throughout the day. Drop-In Visits Ideal for feeding, toilet breaks, companionship, playtime, administering medication if needed, and ensuring your pet is comfortable while you’re away. I know how much your pets mean to you because I feel exactly the same about mine. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your beloved companion is safe, loved, and in experienced hands. I’m currently on maternity leave, which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets and providing them with the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. I offer a flexible schedule and can accommodate pet care throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, subject to availability. Every pet has their own routine, so I do my best to work around their usual schedule to help them feel comfortable and settled. Whether you need pet boarding, doggy day care, or drop-in visits, your pet will receive lots of love, attention, playtime, and regular updates while they’re in my care. If you have specific dates or requirements, please don’t hesitate to get in touch—I’ll always do my best to accommodate you. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I care for every pet as if they were one of my own, ensuring they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship throughout their stay. My home has a secure, enclosed garden where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. I’m also fortunate to have access to plenty of surrounding land, making it the perfect setting for long, enjoyable walks tailored to your dog’s age, fitness level, and individual needs. I always take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine, whether they love being active, enjoy playing games, or prefer a quieter, more relaxed environment. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special requirements, so your pet feels as comfortable and settled as possible. With my background as a qualified Veterinary Care Assistant and over six years of veterinary experience, you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in experienced, caring hands. My aim is to provide a genuine home-from-home experience where every pet feels safe, secure, loved, and happy while you’re away.
“Our dog Miller had an absolutely brilliant time on her holidays! We had regular contact and lots of photos, Georgia and her family were so welcoming and gave her so much love and attention. Would highly recommend using Georgia as a sitter, and will definitely be using her again ourselves!”
“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!”
“Leia was friendly and welcoming when Milo and I arrived for his first stay; Milo took no time at all to go off investigating his new surroundings. Leia kept in touch with me over the couple of days Milo was with her, letting me know what he was doing - she was honest too, not only telling me the happy bits, but also when he seemed a little withdrawn. I appreciated that openness. Leia was accommodating too, offering to take Milo to the park in her car, because he is nervy of traffic. Thank you Leia - you're a star!”
