“Katie has walked Otto before and is brilliant with him but this was his first time boarding overnight....he loved it! Katie and her family are so caring and welcoming and clearly love animals. We were kept updated with messages, photos & videos and Otto (who can be anxious and my little velcro dog) fit right in and became part of their family and was clearly very happy & calm. They have a safe, enclosed garden and a beautiful walking trail behind their home which is perfect for dog walks. 100% recommended. Thanks so much!”
“Rusty was made so welcome with Lorna . She is a very lovely young lady who loves the dogs she looks after. Rusty is only 3 years 8 months old and it is the first time he has been left with a sitter. I was very comfortable and happy to leave him with Lorna. I will definitely book with Lorna again !”
“Very pleased all round. Hope has been well cared for and is very happy. She fitted in well with the family who seem to have become very fond of her. We would not hesitate to book Marta again if and when we need to.”

“Laura and her boys, welcomed Izzy into their home as one of their family. Izzy is a scaredy-cat and Laura was so patient with her and accommodated Izzy’s needs. I love how Laura only looks after one dog at a time, this really suits Izzy, who likes to be the centre of attention at all times 😂. We will definitely look to rebook with Laura in the future and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending doggy boarding.”

“I had a pre meet with Julie which was good. I felt Buddy was in safe hands and a prefect setting throughout his stay (walled secure garden & near open fields and woods), and I received daily updates. Julie was keen to understand all Buddy's needs and to try and continue the same input, discipline and rules he has at home. Feedback was excellent and I had a good debrief session when I went to collect Buddy. I would definitely use Julie again and I would recommend her.”
“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.”
About: I have had dogs all my life. As a child and then my own when I left home. All rescue, from puppies to older dogs. I work part time but can fit my hours around different days to suit what I’m doing. The day starts early with a good walk then home for breakfast. Playtime and cuddles, then out again at tea time. There is a local park just across from my house and also fields and woodland if they require longer walks. There is just myself and my husband at home now. Our children are grown up. I have a good size garden which is fenced and private. I allow dogs anywhere in the house, they can sleep wherever they feel more comfortable, the bed if they want, but equally I would respect what you wanted. I will only feed your dog what you provide, and treats will only be what they normally have, unless you tell me different.
“Maria was great with communication and we left our dog in good hands for 12 days with Maria when we went abroad for a family holiday. We had the opportunity to meet Maria and her dog Bambi at their home before making the booking to ensure it was a good fit for both sides and to discuss any concerns. Received plenty of photos and updates and on returning home our boy is very happy and has been well looked after, definitely recommend and will use Marias services again if needed”
“Both my fur baby's stayed with Alex well I took my kids on a coach trip and before that they went for a trial day and I had the same problem both times they dug their paws in and didn't want to leave they absolutely loved it there and with the other beautiful dogs to play with and all the cuddles and fusses they was getting I don't think they realised I had gone.in the day I was getting plenty of photo and video updates on how they was doing that put me more at ease leaving them would definitely recommend her to anyone she's my girls favourite person now.”
“Sally Morton was an absolutely fantastic dog sitter. She looked after my dog Bear and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Sally was caring, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. The whole experience was completely stress-free, and I felt confident knowing Bear was in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”
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.

“Alex is our go to sitter to take care of our cat Teddy. She always goes above and beyond to make Teddy feel at home and constantly sent us updates on how he’s doing with pictures/ videos.

Alex and Teddy definitely have a beautiful bond and I will definitely be booking Alex again! 🤍🤍xx”
“Professional, cat lover, .I am so happy I have found her .I can travel whenever I want leaving my 2 cats with her.She floors my instructors, my cats are so happy ...Highly recommend!!”
“Delenn has been great at looking after our cat Hols while we've been away for a week. She was easy to communicate to from the beginning, when trying to organise everything, and came over beforehand to met us and Hols. She's been very respectful of our house and we've found everything in perfect order. We have already spoken about her looking after Hols again, especially as he seems to have warmed to her quite quickly. We would definitely recommend her services to others”
About: I have a little pet care experience, watching over my friends cats Nelson and Dorito for a couple times. My family also had a German shepherd I used to look after. Fury friends always make me smile whenever I see them on the walk, and I dream about the day we’re going to welcome a dog to our home as well. I’m currently taking some time off work, so available most of the time during week and weekends as well, so gladly spend some quality time looking after your loved ones. I don’t have any pets, but your dog is going to be very loved by my family who adore pets as much as I do, if you need an over night stay.
“I've used Kashia to look after my cats numerous times now, and every experience has been completely hassle-free. I always receive regular updates and photos, which is incredibly reassuring and lets me see how the cats are getting on while I'm away. After each visit, I get a detailed update on everything that took place, so I know exactly how they've been. What really stands out is the extra care and attention she gives them. On several occasions, she's stayed a little longer to give them some treats, playtime, or a fuss, just so they don't feel lonely. It's clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I always come home to happy, well-fed, content cats, which gives me complete peace of mind whenever I'm away. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional cat sitter.”
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. 💛

Sent me photos of both and even cleaned up after one had a accident during that heatwave last week was so kind of him. Blade and layla love him only met several times but it will be a on going thing several times whilst im out working but he was brilliant with them.”
“Liz is so friendly and caring, I wouldn't trust anyone else with my cats (and rabbits). She sends regular updates on how everyone is doing back home and I very much feel like I'm leaving them with a friend, not a cat sitter :) ”

“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.”
“I cannot recommend Millie enough. My cockapoo loves going to hers every Friday .She takes such good care of him. Have a fantastic Christmas Millie, Benji's looking forward to seeing you again in 2026. Xx”

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.

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.

“Ellie was brilliant taking care of Otis. She was very accommodating agreeing to meeting him before the daycare day and she sent me lots of updates throughout the day. I felt very confident leaving Otis there and looks like he had a fab time. Thank you Ellie!”
About: I've always had dogs in my life. I lost two elderly dogs last year and so badly miss having dogs . I dog sit for our friends dogs whenever possible, but would like to open our home to more. More cuddles, more walks, more mess and more craziness. If you have a dog who needs close attention and wants to feel secure, I can give that care. If your dog needs long walks, I would love that. Our two dogs became infirm when they were old. If you dog needs extra care as an elderly dog, I have the experience. I hold independent comprehensive dog-care insurance. I work part time from home. No routine as such, so I can fit around what your dog needs. Some days are quiet and other days include a long walk and play. We have a large, fenced, dog friendly garden which is completely secure. Your dog will have plenty of room, inside and out. Plus my bed to sleep on, if that is what they like.
“Rollo loved his stay with Janet, I couldn't recommend her highly enough. She was quick to respond, really welcoming and friendly. Rollo loved playing in her garden with Luna and he had two good walks too. We had one sleepy content doggy when we picked him up after his stay.”

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: Hi there! I’m Emilie, a huge animal lover who’s excited to look after your pet while you’re away. I’ve got plenty of experience with animals of all sizes and breeds, so I’ll make sure your pet gets all the attention, exercise, and care they need. I have a toddler and a couple of cats at home aswell as my dog coffee, so it’s important that the dogs I look after are comfortable around them. I’m currently a stay at home mum, so I’ll be around all day to spend quality time with your pets, whether it’s for a visit, playtime, or an overnight stay. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and make sure they feel right at home while you’re away. I’m currently a stay at home mum so I’m available any time however my son will be with me so can only take on animals who are happy with children. He’s 2 years old and lives with cats and a dog currently so is very well behaved with them. I have a XXL crate which I don’t need to use for my dog anymore which can be used. I have a female dog who loves other dogs. I also have 2 spayed female cats and a toddler.
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.

“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”
“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.
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: 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.

All my requests are carefully considered to meet the pets needs the best I can. When I house sit at people’s houses, I will always request a meet and greet beforehand. I ask the owner if their pet has any special requirements/triggers/behaviours that I need to keep an eye on. I will ensure the animal is where it needs to be in the house before I leave and always ensure the pet is fed at the correct times and always has fresh water to hand.

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.

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 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.

About: I have had dogs all my life. As a child and then my own when I left home. All rescue, from puppies to older dogs. I work part time but can fit my hours around different days to suit what I’m doing. The day starts early with a good walk then home for breakfast. Playtime and cuddles, then out again at tea time. There is a local park just across from my house and also fields and woodland if they require longer walks. There is just myself and my husband at home now. Our children are grown up. I have a good size garden which is fenced and private. I allow dogs anywhere in the house, they can sleep wherever they feel more comfortable, the bed if they want, but equally I would respect what you wanted. I will only feed your dog what you provide, and treats will only be what they normally have, unless you tell me different.
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.

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.

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.

Thanks Emma 😁”
“Ellie and her family have been incredible with our Vinnie, it was his first ever night away from home, so we were incredibly nervous about leaving him especially after such short notice as the person we were going to use cancelled on us. All our fears were soon lifted when we met Ellie, Vinnie went from barking and being anxious to happy and playing with other dogs and hour later. Ellie kept us up to date with plenty of photos, and made us feel at ease. 5 stars because It won't let me put any more.”
“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”
“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!”
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. I will try to stick to your normal routines where possible and will of course send updates and photos as many times as you need, I want you to feel just as relaxed as your pet. I work Monday to Friday so I'm only available on weekends. I usually have a cocker spaniel on a Saturday so please only get in touch if your dog is comfortable around other dogs I'm in a quiet cul de sac with an enclosed garden. There are lots of fun walks near me in varying length. Animals that stay here are treated as members of the family and will be loved and cared for as you would your own :)
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.
“Mel was amazing! We had a sitter (via Rover) who let us down fairly last minute and Mel was happy to be able to help us out. When we met her we knew that Maya was going to be well looked after and that she was going to safe in a loving environment. We had updates & I'm fairly certain that Maya didn't want to come home after being BFs with Mel's daughter. We're so grateful and would use Mel again in a heartbeat”
“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.”
“Well what can I say. Alanna is amazing. Winnie my gorgeous girl 🐶 can be very anxious about new people but she just took to Alanna from the off. I felt reassured right from the beginning that Winnie would be happy with her and she was. She normally doesn’t eat when we go away even staying with family but she settled straight away. I Can highly recommend Alanna.”
