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.

She is so passionate about the dogs in her care and from the moment we first met her and her resident doggos we knew our dog was going to be spoilt and loved whilst we were away.

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: I am a qualified dog grooming teacher with over 10 years’ experience in training individuals to become skilled, compassionate, and responsible groomers. My teaching goes far beyond coat care — I focus on the overall health and wellbeing of dogs, ensuring learners understand how grooming plays a vital role in early detection of health issues such as skin conditions, parasites, ear infections, and behavioural concerns. I also teach safe handling, salon hygiene/biosecurity, first aid, and client communication, preparing learners for both employment and running their own grooming businesses. A key part of my teaching is upholding and promoting the Five Animal Welfare Needs as outlined in the Animal Welfare Act. I ensure the learners understand how to create a safe, low-stress environment for each dog, and how to respect their emotional and physical needs throughout. This includes recognising stress signals, understanding behavioural needs, and always grooming in a way that protects dogs from pain, suffering, injury, or disease. Over the years, I’ve proudly trained hundreds of groomers, many of whom have gone on to build successful careers. I’m passionate about raising standards in the dog world and believe that this starts with having the knowledge and skills. Dogs are able to travel to work with me and are in my care all day. They are regularly taken out for rest breaks whilst at work. They have access to fresh clean water and are walked often. During the school holidays I am at home with the dogs all day. My garden is completely secure, it is fenced off around both sides and I have a garage at the other side that is connected to my house. Dogs will also have their own safe place to go and relax.
“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.
“Jennifer was amazing! She took my dog out for a swim, which he absolutely loved, and spent lots of time playing with him.

“Marie carried out Doggy day care for our dog whilst we were away and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the service provided. Nothing was too much trouble and we were kept up dated which was really nice. We will definitely be booking again.”
“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.”

We have our birth child and a foster child. I am home pretty much most of the time. We have a nice safe enclosed garden that is perfect for the dogs to run around in. We have a good size house. I recently lost my dog that I have had for 15 years. She lived a good long life travelling different countries and going on all of my adventures. My family and I are very big animal lovers In our free time we will go to the animal shelter and take the dogs out for walks. We have cared for friend and family members animals in the past. As a foster carer I'm home most of the day. Our dog age 4 will go on 2 to 3 walks a day depending on weather. Our pets sleep on the sofa or in our bedroom. We treat our pets like our children. There will be safe guarding in place. Our children are pet friendly At 1am pinko goes the the toilet. At 630 the garden door is opened and it stays opened all day when we are home so the dogs can come and go as they please. First walk 9.30 for an hour. Around 14.00 ten minutes walk on the Fields across the road from me. Then evening 18.00 a 30 minutes walk. Bedtime so last toilet break about 22.00. I have a fenced garden.

About: I am a qualified dog grooming teacher with over 10 years’ experience in training individuals to become skilled, compassionate, and responsible groomers. My teaching goes far beyond coat care — I focus on the overall health and wellbeing of dogs, ensuring learners understand how grooming plays a vital role in early detection of health issues such as skin conditions, parasites, ear infections, and behavioural concerns. I also teach safe handling, salon hygiene/biosecurity, first aid, and client communication, preparing learners for both employment and running their own grooming businesses. A key part of my teaching is upholding and promoting the Five Animal Welfare Needs as outlined in the Animal Welfare Act. I ensure the learners understand how to create a safe, low-stress environment for each dog, and how to respect their emotional and physical needs throughout. This includes recognising stress signals, understanding behavioural needs, and always grooming in a way that protects dogs from pain, suffering, injury, or disease. Over the years, I’ve proudly trained hundreds of groomers, many of whom have gone on to build successful careers. I’m passionate about raising standards in the dog world and believe that this starts with having the knowledge and skills. Dogs are able to travel to work with me and are in my care all day. They are regularly taken out for rest breaks whilst at work. They have access to fresh clean water and are walked often. During the school holidays I am at home with the dogs all day. My garden is completely secure, it is fenced off around both sides and I have a garage at the other side that is connected to my house. Dogs will also have their own safe place to go and relax.

About: I currently have a 3-year-old Cavapoo who is an absolute delight, and as I spend most days at home, I am able to give him plenty of time, attention, and care. Last year, I sadly lost my 15-year-old Cocker Spaniel. Even though she was blind and deaf in her later years, she still had the energy and spirit of a puppy. I also have a 13-year-old cat. She can be a little grumpy and demanding at times, but she is very much loved and an important part of the family. In addition, I regularly look after my mum's elderly Labrador and a friends 2 dachshunds when they are away on holiday. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience caring for both young and senior dogs, including those with age-related needs.

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 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.

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 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 :)
“Having had a couple of negative experiences we were concerned to find a quality home boarder that we could trust. As soon as we met Leia and saw her interact with our 2 dogs we felt reassured. She asked the right questions and her love of dogs and experience shone through. She paid attention to keeping their familiar routine and gave lots of cuddles. It was helpful to get messages and photos during their stay. All in all a very positive experience both for the dogs and for us!”
“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!”

“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.”

“There aren’t enough words to describe how fantastic Danielle is. She is so passionate about the dogs in her care and from the moment we first met her and her resident doggos we knew our dog was going to be spoilt and loved whilst we were away. Danielle kept us fully updated throughout our time away with photos and videos - to the point that our dog had such a great time she is sulking about being back home. Thank you so so much - we wouldn’t have Anna stay anywhere else now!”

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.

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.

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 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.
