“Tina really helped us out with having Penny whilst we were away for 2 weeks! For such a long stay and to take on a reactive and anxious dog is a lot, for everyone! Tina made us feel so at ease when taking care of Penny, we received daily updates and pictures and saw first hand after her trial stay just how much Penny loved her stay. We would absolutely recommend, this was our first time leaving Penny and we couldn’t have asked for better! Thank you so much Tina! X”

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”

Anna was amazing, she was really patient and kind and i could immediately tell that both her and her husband totally loved dogs.

When i collected Teddy it was obvious that he had an amazing stay, and i would totally recommend Anna for anyone looking someone to look after their dog.”

About: I've been around cats for nearly all of my life- from the young adult cat to the senior. I've had all kinds of cats- from the sassy to the silly. I can give space and be gentle if it's a nervous cat who needs care, or playful with the more adventurous. Where possible, I will give cuddles and make sure your cat gets love and attention, as well as fed and their litter tray taken care of. I currently have a 13 year old black cat called Nibbles who we have cared for since he was 8. Depending on medication, I don't mind giving it to cats, this would need to be discussed beforehand.
“Lauren did such a fab job at looking after our boys and updated us with photos. Thanks so much Lauren for allowing us to be able to go away for a weekend without having to worry x”

About: I have looked after dogs since I was 13, so am very comfortable around them and find it easy to warm to new dogs.

I cannot care for pets in my own home, but am more happy to travel and pet-sit in other homes as well as going out for walks.
“Loki and Midnight were in great hands with Julie; she even left them a little present at the end of her visits. Julie came to meet the cats before we went away and I was able to show her where everything was. Would highly recommend and wil definitely be using her again; it was far less stressful for the cats to have someone look after them in their own home and Julie was fantastic and even gave me updates while I was away.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since being a little child. From being puppies to adult hood I have the experience and knowledge of how dogs can behave and interact. I have experienced many different situations which has given me the knowledge and skills to be able to overcome any issues effectively. I understand how dogs may react differently depending on the situation and how to manage this. I currently work from home full time 5 days a week on weekdays. This gives me more flexibility regarding my work life balance along with my home life. I also have access to a car. In order to care for pets in the owners home I will get to know the animal and have through interactions with them in order to access their needs. Conversations with the owners will also provide me with more information in order to care for them in the best possible way.

We have spent lots of years both looking after and continual training puppies and kittens for friends and family. I've also experienced the latter stages of life and illnesses along the way. We have the perfect setting for all your pets needs and it would truly be a home from home setting. We offer a family service and setting. I work 3 shifts per week and Greta works part time.

Downstairs we have 3 large spaces for all our furry friends to enjoy. We have ample amounts of space for crate training and boarding areas within the family home.
“Finding a dog sitter for 2 robust German shepherds is always a bit of a challenge for me, however Tina responded to my enquiry immediately and was happy to care for them for the day, even given the short notice. She came to meet them both the day before at my house and they took to her immediately. She sent lots of pupdates of their Sunday at her house and they come home very tired from their play day. I would absolutely use her service again 🤩”
“Dee was absolutely fantastic, looked after Olive for two days, Olive was super excited on second morning when we arrived 🤭 will definitely be using Dee again when required 👍👍 made Olive feel welcome when we initially arrived and communication throughout the the two days was excellent”

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.

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.

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.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and currently have two family dogs at my mum’s house, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my day-to-day life. During secondary school, I volunteered at Tia Rescue in Doncaster, helping care for dogs with different personalities and needs. While living in Canada, I also provided dog sitting for guests staying at Kananaskis Mountain Lodge, caring for dogs while their owners were out exploring or relaxing. I’m patient, reliable and genuinely love spending time with animals — whether that’s walks, playtime, cuddles or simply keeping them company and comfortable while you’re away. I currently can’t have a dog of my own where I live, so this is honestly the next best thing for me. I love getting to spend time with different dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe and well cared for. I currently work part-time at a coffee shop, so my schedule is flexible and gives me good availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins and pet sitting. I enjoy getting outdoors more and love spending time with dogs, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m happy to keep owners updated with messages and photos so you know your dog is safe and happy while you’re away. I live in a home with a fully fenced garden where dogs can safely play and relax. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and understand how important routine, patience and reassurance are when caring for someone else’s pet. I’ll always make sure dogs feel comfortable, well looked after and treated like part of the family while in my care.
About: I’ve had the privilege of sharing my life with many cats and dogs throughout my nearly 50 years. My main attributes are caring for animals and taking a high level of care and responsibility for them. I have also cared for older cats and dogs towards the end of their life, who need more care and attention. Be it practical or emotional care. As a pet owner, I treat my clients pets in the same way I would care for my own. I left working offshore after 25 years, and now I’m looking forward to enjoying the next chapter. I am available at short notice generally. My garden has a small lawned area and is fenced and secure. I will leave someone’s property as tidy, or even tidier than I found it!!

While I don’t have a garden, I’m located right by a beautiful lake with walking paths so your pup gets plenty of fresh air, exercise and outdoor time throughout the day. We go on regular walks and I make sure each dog has a comfy spot to rest, play and feel at home indoors. Safety, routine and individual attention are my top priorities — your pet will be loved and well cared for every step of the way.

“Tina really helped us out with having Penny whilst we were away for 2 weeks! For such a long stay and to take on a reactive and anxious dog is a lot, for everyone! Tina made us feel so at ease when taking care of Penny, we received daily updates and pictures and saw first hand after her trial stay just how much Penny loved her stay. We would absolutely recommend, this was our first time leaving Penny and we couldn’t have asked for better! Thank you so much Tina! X”

“Alison is a lovely lady who clearly adores animals. My boy has bad separation anxiety so I was worried about leaving him overnight and away from home. After our initial meet Enzo went to stay with Alison for a few hours a handful of times to get him used to being somewhere new and with someone new. He was totally happy and relaxed with her on his smaller visits and while I was away. Alison was so accommodating and helpful and we will continue to use her services in the future.”

About: Lifelong Dog Owner Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Being a lifelong dog owner has given me years of hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs and behaviours. I understand that every dog is an individual, and I believe patience, consistency, kindness and understanding are at the heart of responsible dog ownership. Experienced Dog Foster Parent My experience as a foster parent has allowed me to care for dogs who have needed additional support, reassurance and stability while preparing for the next chapter of their lives. Fostering has helped me develop a deeper understanding of how dogs can respond differently to new environments and experiences. I have learned the importance of allowing a dog to progress at their own pace, building trust gradually and providing a calm, safe and supportive environment. One of the most rewarding aspects of fostering has been watching dogs grow in confidence and helping them become ready for their forever homes. Animal Charity Committee Member My involvement as an animal charity committee member has given me experience beyond my own dogs and foster care. It has allowed me to contribute to the wider welfare of animals and support the important work carried out by charities and volunteers. Being involved at committee level has also given me an appreciation of the organisation, commitment and teamwork required behind the scenes to support animal welfare, fundraising, awareness and responsible pet ownership. Dog Boutique Owner As the owner of a specialist dog boutique, my passion for dogs is also part of my everyday working life. Meeting dogs and their owners regularly has broadened my experience considerably. I enjoy getting to know individual dogs, understanding what their owners are looking for and helping them choose products that are appropriate for their dog's lifestyle and needs. My aim is to create an environment where both dogs and their humans feel welcome, comfortable and valued. My Approach to Dogs My experience as an owner, foster parent, charity committee member and business owner has taught me that there is never a one-size-fits-all approach to dogs. Every dog has their own personality, history, preferences and way of communicating. I believe in taking the time to understand the individual dog, treating them with kindness and respect, and always putting their welfare first. For me, working with dogs isn't simply an interest — they have been a constant part of my life, and that lifetime of experience continues to shape everything I do today. Looking after your dog would be a structured but flexible part of my day. I would plan morning and evening walks around my existing schedule, making sure your dog is fed, exercised, and given attention at consistent times. Short check-ins during the day would help maintain routine and comfort for the dog, while also fitting around my work or personal commitments. My dogs are very much part of the family, and their happiness, health and wellbeing are at the centre of their daily routine. They have a safe, comfortable and loving home environment where they receive plenty of attention, companionship and affection. I believe dogs thrive when they feel secure and have a consistent routine, so their days include regular feeding, exercise, enrichment, play, rest and quality time with us. Exercise & Enrichment My dogs receive regular exercise appropriate to their individual needs, age and energy levels. Alongside walks and physical exercise, I understand the importance of mental stimulation. Enrichment, play, toys, scent-based activities and interaction are all used to keep them engaged and prevent boredom. Feeding & Treats I take a responsible approach to feeding and choose food and treats with my dogs' individual needs in mind. Fresh drinking water is always available, and treats are given appropriately as part of their overall routine. Health & Wellbeing Their health is taken seriously, with regular veterinary care and attention to preventative healthcare, grooming and general wellbeing. I also pay close attention to changes in behaviour, appetite, mobility or general demeanour, as these can sometimes be early indications that a dog isn't feeling quite themselves. Companionship & Individual Care Most importantly, my dogs receive plenty of companionship. I spend time getting to know their individual personalities, preferences and boundaries rather than expecting every dog to behave or respond in the same way. Their routines are adapted when necessary to suit their individual needs. Whether they want to play, explore, have some quiet time or simply settle down nearby, I believe dogs should be able to feel relaxed and secure in their home. The same principles would apply when caring for someone else's dog. I would respect the routine and instructions provided by their owner while making sure their dog receives the same level of patience, attention, safety and care that I expect for my own.
