Personalised care for your dog or cat - Holmfirth

“Coco had the best time staying with Richard and his family. They treated her like she was a part of the family and sent us lots of updates as they took her on walks in the country, and to the park. When we need to board Coco in the future we look forward to dropping her off again safe in the knowledge that she will be well loved.”

Mark L.

“The first time I’ve left Bobby with anyone and I was absolutely terrified it would be a disaster…. Helena communicated very well throughout Bobbys stay with her and I got regular updates with some amazing pictures of Bobby having a blast and being so happy and relaxed… Bobby couldn’t have been in safer hands with Helena and I cannot recommend Helena enough… I will Definatley be using her again. Bobby is actually sat looking a little sad now we’ve left and got home bless him !”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog owner with many years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs. I currently have two small, friendly dogs of my own, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with a much-loved member of the family. I’m patient, attentive and very happy to adapt to each dog’s individual personality and routine, whether that means leisurely sniff-filled walks, playtime, plenty of cuddles or simply some quiet company. I’m also comfortable caring for older dogs and dogs who prefer a gentler pace. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always come first, and I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, walking and care routines closely. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for. My schedule is flexible, which allows me plenty of time to give your dog the attention and care they need. I’m available for regular or occasional walks, drop-in visits, doggy day care and overnight boarding. I’m happy to work around your dog’s existing routine wherever possible, including their usual walk, meal and rest times. I live with my partner Joe, who loves animals too and may occasionally help me with pets staying in our home. He is registered with Rover as an additional caretaker so your pet is always in safe hands. I have a secure, fenced garden and two friendly small dogs of my own. Any visiting dog would be introduced to them carefully, and I’m very happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable. I’ll follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking and sleeping routines and any specific care instructions you provide. Dogs in mine and Joe’s care will receive plenty of attention and will always be treated as part of the family.

“Jack was fantastic with Freddie. We got regular updates of their time and Fred came back exhausted after a couple of adventures. We’ll definitely be using Jack again and I’m sure Fred will be excited to stay again!”

About: I’m a caring, responsible dog owner living in the Holmfirth countryside with my dog Bella. I provide personalised, loving care and treat every dog like family.

About: Hello, I’m Leila! 💕 I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have over 15 years of experience caring for them 🥰. I grew up with my English Springer Spaniel, who lived to 14 and was a very active, playful boy with separation anxiety, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with their own routines and individual needs. For the past two years, I’ve also been mum to Teddy, a Romanian rescue who is full of energy! Living with him has taught me a lot about understanding dog behaviour, being patient, managing triggers and making sure dogs get the right balance of exercise, enrichment and downtime 🐾🦦 I’m comfortable with energetic, nervous, anxious and rescue dogs and understand that every dog is different, beautiful and unique in their own way🐕🐩 I also have experience caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs. I think this will also be very beneficial for Teddy, he is always looking for new playmates, or a senior could also teach him new confidence ☺️. I work remotely full-time, so I’m able to fit walks, playtime and check-ins around my working day and provide plenty of company when caring for your dog 🐕‍🦺🦴 I work remotely full-time, Monday to Friday, which means I’m around at home for much of the day and can easily fit walks, playtime, cuddles and toilet breaks around my work. I’m flexible with boarding, house sitting, walks and drop-in visits, including evenings and weekends 🐶 I have a secure, enclosed garden and a comfortable home where your dog can feel relaxed and at home. As an experienced rescue dog owner, I understand the importance of patience, supervision and respecting a dog’s individual boundaries. I’ll follow your routines and instructions carefully and make sure your pet is safe, happy and well cared for ❤️

“Freddie loved being with Kate and Dottie and has come home tired after all his play and running around. We will definitely be using Kate again!”

About: I have dealt with big dogs and small dogs and new dogs interacting with other dogs. I am great with animals and love being around them. I am always ready to step in when a family member or friends go away and need a pet sitter. I am currently at university but only in 2 days a week so am free lots of the time. I love keeping fit and walking dogs is great for this especially whilst at uni I have a high fence , a big garden for the pet to run around in and a great house that someone will always be in

“Madison was a delight from the first intro visit to the last day of the hol and looked after our two cats superbly. Her communication throughout our time away was excellent, with daily updates on how our cats were getting on, photos and even videos. It's really clear Madison took the time and effort to get to know them and give them plenty of fuss and attention - not just pop a bit of food in their bowls. We've come home to two VERY happy cats and as a result, we wouldn't hesitate in recommending Madison to anyone 😁👍”

About: Ive never known a life without dogs, they are a part of the family. I grew up with an energetic loving Beagle named Snoopy and now have a happy young Jackhuahua named Chico who enjoys lots of walks and cuddles. I believe all dogs are different in their own amazing ways and should be treated with nothing but love and respect (and plenty of treats!) Anyone who knows me will know I am a little bit obsessed with dogs, I've been known to cross many streets to pet the dog on the other side, because who would want to miss out on meeting a cute new dog? I work most weekends so am available during the week for any walks or checking in on your pets. I work most weekends, so have all the time in the week for walking, sitting or just popping in on your little fur babies when needed. I have one dog at home but he has another home nearby he can go to if your dog doesn’t like other dogs company! I have a large fenced in garden attached to a cricket field that is easily accessible for a quick walk. I’m also based near many scenic rural paths for those wanting longer walks.

“Gemma has been amazing today! My 12 week puppy had a couple of accidents but that didn’t put Gemma off! She’s more than happy to see Henry next week. He’s had a fabulous walk and played with her dogs toys too! Thank you so much!”

About: The best thing about this job second to seeing your pets happy and in their natural behaviours, is receiving the amazing feedback from all the parents & carers of the pets I have the opportunity to meet and care for - it’s truly rewarding! The older cats & dogs which have an extra spring in their step, the dogs who eat when you find a way which works for them because you’ve realised their needs and made them comfortable, the pets who play & express themselves because they know you’re there for them 1 to 1. Cats, dogs, birds - and all animals to be honest - make me genuinely happy and present in the moment. I’ve loved animals and wildlife since forever. Volunteering in a pet shop at 10 years old, I cleaned the rabbit and hamster enclosures and fed the small animals. Since 17 I have taken care of my own 11 cats of all ages in several homes in the UK and China (including a 1-week old kitten who I had to bottle feed blind) and have completed multiple dog sits and walks. I now currently reside with my two boys, Tyson & Rossi, and since Halloween a lady cat who was hanging around the garden now named Lucky. Lucky was wandering for 12 weeks after her owner passed on and now she is part of our family. We have also been fostering a British long haired cat named Professor Pawsley for a month since a friend and previous client in New Mill passed away. Sadly three of the kitties from over the years have passed on; the others are with family and friends and I receive regular updates). The 1-week old when living in China for 3 years was just days old, his name is Ginge and he now lives happily with his three sibling kitties taken care of in Shenzhen by a good friend. I took care of him as a kitten, feeding him bottled formula, keeping him warm and training him to use a litter tray. I took in two 6 month old cats just before that and worked two jobs while looking after the three of them, with the help of my good friend Echo. Rossi who is now 1 year old, came to us last year in our Stockport home as an 8-week old kitten from a rescue centre and we already had Tyson at the time who was 2, we took him in from a friend’s friend who decided to go traveling. Introducing the boys I used scenting and separation to allow for less anxiety, before they finally met and now they love each other despite sometimes boisterously play fighting! Some of my experiences with pet sitting: I took care of two Jack Russell’s in 2015 for two weeks, walking them, feeding them and playing with them. The pups made house sitting much more fun and walking them at the reservoir daily was good exercise. About 8 months later I looked after my friends two cats for a week and a half while they were away. The year after I was baby sitting and dog sitting two dogs for a friends’ parent, just for one night but that was also a very smooth experience. Looking after my friends British Shorthair for a week in south of China (2018) was enjoyable, as I was living in a studio at the time on my own so I truly enjoyed the company. In 2020 post-pandemic I took care of my brother and his partners’ Yorkshire Terrier for three months while they were working long hours, walking him twice a day, playing with him and spending time bonding. It was in 2023 when I took care of my partners’ boss’ family German Shepherd and two domestic short-haired cats. Administering daily medication as the German shepherd was older, feeding, walking with careful consideration and playing were the tasks involved and they even slept with us while we stayed there for 10 days. I even spent some time with the sheep at the back of the garden! What was truly special was how Marcus explained his German shepherd was in such a good way when he got home he was so pleased to see him with good energy and ready for his morning walks. Every single morning, my first move is to feed the boys and girls and provide fresh drinking water at their four stations. This is always after greeting them of course! Sometimes I wake up to Rossi on my chest or next to my legs as he sleeps on the bed to my happiness. Tyson has softened as he never used to, but now also sometimes sleeps on the bed with us. After greeting, stroking and kisses, food and water is given. My partner and I then clean out the litter trays - five litter trays at the moment! Luckily we have three floors over a town-house so there’s enough space between. Almost daily I check the rechargeable batteries for the bunch of toys they have - we rotate to try and keep them engaged. I also play with teasers and bits of string and of course they love boxes. I talk to the babies as I feel this is important and comforting for our animals, we all need communication. Every few days or so I groom them with a brush and they enjoy treats such as Dreamies scattered on a play board and tuna in spring water every Friday and Saturday. For cats staying in our home, the house is already extremely safe & secure as we check this meticulously already for our own kitties. Everything is maintained to make sure the cats are safe inside the house, the catio is optional as it just fits right outside the front door without any gaps to get outside - but to a new cat we would probably leave the catio and keep them inside the house as there are plenty of rooms. If there were any issues we have a town-house style so three levels and rooms with secure doors so for example my partner could be with our boys in our bedroom and I could be with your kitty/kitties in the living room. We are very conscientious of food and cleaning up after cooking (onions, chocolate etc), cleaning products are in cupboards and we don’t buy flowers which are toxic we are very aware of these potential hazards. As for puppies in our home, the same as above. Preferably, for puppies and dogs, I would like to board/dog or dog (and cats if both) sit at your home - this would also allow your pets to be in their familiar environment.

About: I have dealt with big dogs and small dogs and new dogs interacting with other dogs. I am great with animals and love being around them. I am always ready to step in when a family member or friends go away and need a pet sitter. I am currently at university but only in 2 days a week so am free lots of the time. I love keeping fit and walking dogs is great for this especially whilst at uni I have a high fence , a big garden for the pet to run around in and a great house that someone will always be in

“Madison is great, made us feel at total ease leaving our dog with her. Flexible and quick to respond to messages, photo and updates was so nice to receive. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life, but recently I’ve dedicated all of my time to looking after them, gaining experience with a wide variety of breeds. Whether big or small, energetic or calm, I’ve had the chance to care for many different types of dogs, which has helped me understand their unique needs and personalities even better. I’m passionate about making sure every dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. When I’m house sitting / boarding, I treat each pet as if they were my own, ensuring they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m very attentive to their routines and preferences, so they can feel as relaxed and happy as possible. In any emergency, I’ll contact you immediately and take swift, responsible action to keep your pet safe and healthy. I also have experience with other pets like hamsters, guinea pigs, and cats, so I’m comfortable caring for a range of animals. I love all dog breeds, so no matter what kind of dog you have, they’re more than welcome with me. In fact, we used to dog-sit for my mum’s friends while they were on holiday, and their dog always loved staying with me—he was so excited to see me and loved our daily walks! I’m committed to providing the best care and companionship for your pets while you’re away! :) I am currently available mornings and afternoons at the moment! So can dog walk and can sit at any time during the day/night. Always available. I give them lots of play time, nice long walks, bathroom breaks and of course lots of rest. The house is safe no food is ever left out in reach.

About: We are a couple - Emmie (they/them) & Katie (she/her). We love animals of all kinds and would love to help support others to ensure their animals are cared for when it’s needed 🫶🏼 we have a warm and welcoming home where we live with our piggy, Trevor (guinea pig). We have rescued dogs before and fostered dogs over the years and given them the care and comfort they needed. All our siblings have dogs/pets and we are the first ones to be asked to look after them and we just love it! 🥰 Myself (Emmie) and my partner (Katie) both work part time so are flexible with days of work as well as days off and this includes availability on evenings and weekends Whether it’s in our home or their home, full care and attention will be taken to meet the needs of the animals and what the owners request

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog owner with many years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs. I currently have two small, friendly dogs of my own, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with a much-loved member of the family. I’m patient, attentive and very happy to adapt to each dog’s individual personality and routine, whether that means leisurely sniff-filled walks, playtime, plenty of cuddles or simply some quiet company. I’m also comfortable caring for older dogs and dogs who prefer a gentler pace. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always come first, and I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, walking and care routines closely. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for. My schedule is flexible, which allows me plenty of time to give your dog the attention and care they need. I’m available for regular or occasional walks, drop-in visits, doggy day care and overnight boarding. I’m happy to work around your dog’s existing routine wherever possible, including their usual walk, meal and rest times. I live with my partner Joe, who loves animals too and may occasionally help me with pets staying in our home. He is registered with Rover as an additional caretaker so your pet is always in safe hands. I have a secure, fenced garden and two friendly small dogs of my own. Any visiting dog would be introduced to them carefully, and I’m very happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable. I’ll follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking and sleeping routines and any specific care instructions you provide. Dogs in mine and Joe’s care will receive plenty of attention and will always be treated as part of the family.

About: I’m the girl that waves to dogs I pass in the street, I’m dog mad. I’ve recently returned to the area after living abroad for 6+ years. Personal circumstances mean that I’m not able to have a dog of my own right now, but in the meantime I have so much love to give! I’ve been working part time as a dog-walker and dog-sitter for the past three years on and off and I absolutely love it. I’ll strive to make your dog feel safe, happy and adored. Mark Twain once said “The more I learn about people, the more I love my dog” — let me love your dog!! I currently work from home but I have a very flexible routine. I’m available most days, I just ask that you give me a few days notice if you need my help over the weekends or holidays! I will gladly make house calls. I have clients who trust me with regular access and keys to their properties and I will respect your privacy in your home. I also have the possibility to look after your pet here in my own home. I live with my dad at the moment in a terraced house in Clifton. We don’t have much of a garden but there are plenty of good walks to be had!

About: I've had cats since the age of 3, and never stopped having them. Alongside many other pets of all shapes and sizes. I started helping out a friend with her dog sitting jobs and it's continued from there. I've dog sat and walked , cat sat and checked up on friends and clients pets. One off walks and regular walks. From small senior Jack Russell to two bounding golden retrievers. I've had a good few years of experience now to offer more services . I'm currently working part time so I have the time to schedule in walks, house sitting/pet sitting and call ins. I have one ongoing walk with a Jack Russell and would like to take on more pet care work. Depending on what the owner wants , whether it's a routine walk, a pop in or a stay over. I'm happy to do it all. Happy to follow instructions to make sure your babies are happy and calm. My cat is an outdoor cat but understand some prefer theirs to stay in. With dogs I can make sure they are well seen to and will make sure I know how long they don't mind being left alone. Can pop in to fill up water and food bowls or to let any out to use to toilet.

About: With over 40 years of caring for dogs, I bring a lifetime of knowledge, love, and hands‑on experience to every walk.

About: *I AM CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE FOR NEW DOG BOOKINGS* Hi! After using Rover for my own dog care in the past I know how important it is to find the right home for your dog. I've had my own dogs for the last 10 years including a puppy and an older rescue. I honestly love dogs of all shapes and sizes and I will ensure I give your dog the perfect home away from home. I have experience with a variety of breeds and have also volunteered and received dogs trust training a couple years ago. I understand dogs are all different and I'm happy to support and match their routines to make them comfortable in my home. I also live in a perfect village area for dogs with plenty of public and private walks and dog friendly cafes! I have plenty of time for walks, toilet breaks and cuddles! I can fit my routine around the routine of the dog in my care, just reach out and let me know what's required. I have a fenced garden with bifold doors that can be left open for easy access to potter outside. I have experience with administering dogs with medication including oral, topical and injections. I also understand and recognise the importance of dog body language -when they are happy, distressed or anxious. Your dogs safety and happiness will always be my main priority.

About: I am an experienced dog walker looking for clients around the Holmfirth area,I'm very passionate about what I do. Your dogs health and well being means everything to me and I can offer all the love and attention they need whilst in my care.For most dogs spending many hours alone can cause mental health problems and make them feel very socially isolated so I am here to walk your dog whilst your at work and give them the interaction they need,I will treat them like they are my own and break down any barriers your dog may have and give them the confidence they need during the walk. Feel free to message me for any inquiries or questions you many have,I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you

About: I've grown up with animals, especially dogs. Whether it was my grandparents' German Shepherd or my own Jack Russell, I have an affinity with animals. I'm currently studying part-time and work part-time so there's a bit of flexibility for dog walking but it depends on my shift pattern. I'm an early riser, so morning walks are absolutely fine! I work 3 days a week in Lindley Huddersfield – pet sitting would be suitable if on certain days they can be left alone. Unfortunately I can't care for pets in my own home. Not because I don't want to but it's a rented property in a listed building.

“Perfect dog walker, able to deal with short notice and more than capable with some awkward dogs over 3 days! Very understanding and listened to all of my concerns regarding leaving my 2 dogs alone for the first time. Couldn’t be happier with the service and Richard as person! Can’t recommend enough, thanks again!”

Helena communicated very well throughout Bobbys stay with her and I got regular updates with some amazing pictures of Bobby having a blast and being so happy and relaxed… Bobby couldn’t have been in safer hands with Helena and I cannot recommend Helena enough… I will Definatley be using her again. Bobby is actually sat looking a little sad now we’ve left and got home bless him !”

About: Hello, I’m Leila! 💕 I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have over 15 years of experience caring for them 🥰. I grew up with my English Springer Spaniel, who lived to 14 and was a very active, playful boy with separation anxiety, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with their own routines and individual needs. For the past two years, I’ve also been mum to Teddy, a Romanian rescue who is full of energy! Living with him has taught me a lot about understanding dog behaviour, being patient, managing triggers and making sure dogs get the right balance of exercise, enrichment and downtime 🐾🦦 I’m comfortable with energetic, nervous, anxious and rescue dogs and understand that every dog is different, beautiful and unique in their own way🐕🐩 I also have experience caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs. I think this will also be very beneficial for Teddy, he is always looking for new playmates, or a senior could also teach him new confidence ☺️. I work remotely full-time, so I’m able to fit walks, playtime and check-ins around my working day and provide plenty of company when caring for your dog 🐕‍🦺🦴 I work remotely full-time, Monday to Friday, which means I’m around at home for much of the day and can easily fit walks, playtime, cuddles and toilet breaks around my work. I’m flexible with boarding, house sitting, walks and drop-in visits, including evenings and weekends 🐶 I have a secure, enclosed garden and a comfortable home where your dog can feel relaxed and at home. As an experienced rescue dog owner, I understand the importance of patience, supervision and respecting a dog’s individual boundaries. I’ll follow your routines and instructions carefully and make sure your pet is safe, happy and well cared for ❤️

“Freddie loved being with Kate and Dottie and has come home tired after all his play and running around. We will definitely be using Kate again!”

Andrew M.

“Mika has had a fantastic weekend with Joanne and her family including trips out to a fair, a dog show and even a duck race. Lots of pictures of Mika's adventures were sent too.

About: I’ve had pets since I was young, including hamsters, parrots, cats and dogs. I currently have a beautiful, well trained 2 year old male husky who is neutered I am a registered nurse and currently work from home full time, Monday - Friday. I can manage my own hours as needed, so I’m very flexible every weekday/ weekend. I have my own husky who is very active. Walks can be adjusted to your dogs needs, but our dog walks 6-6:30am, 9-10am, and 8-9pm, and there is access to the garden during the day. They can come and go as they please through the patio doors, in any weather. I have a fenced garden. Pets are allowed on the furniture. I have a well behaved husky so your pet will have a friend too

“Richard was lovely although our dog was scared this being her first time away from home, and being a little snappy, Richard was great with her couldn't recommend him more, dealt with her really well and kept us updated throughout her stay. Thanks again :)”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life from a young age. I’ve raised my own dogs from puppyhood through to adulthood as well as having cats and I regularly care for my brother’s Staffy, who is the sweetest soul! I was also fortunate to learn puppy training to a very high standard from an ex-police dog handler, giving me a strong understanding of dog behaviour, training and communication. I’m a very nurturing, patient and soft-hearted person who genuinely loves getting to know each animal’s individual personality. I understand that every dog is different so I’m happy to adapt my approach to suit their temperament, routine, boundaries and needs whether they’re energetic, nervous, independent, cuddly or somewhere in between. I absolutely love being outdoors and spend lots of my own time walking and hiking, so getting out for adventures with a four legged companion is something I’d genuinely enjoy!! I also have experience working in the care sector, so I’m confident and responsible when it comes to medication, routines and individual care needs. Ultimately, I want every animal in my care to feel safe, loved, stimulated and comfortable while their owners are away 🐶❤️ As a self-employed artist, I manage my own schedule, which gives me lots of flexibility and means I can dedicate my full attention to your pet when I’m pet sitting. I can plan my work around their routine rather than leaving them waiting around for me. I’m particularly flexible with boarding and longer stays and I love being able to give pets plenty of walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles and company throughout the day. I’m happy to discuss individual routines and work around what your pet is used to at home. I live on the ground floor of a beautiful old mill with lovely high ceilings and a huge area of greenery surrounding the property. While this isn’t a private fenced garden, the green space is frequently used by local dog walkers, so there are plenty of opportunities for toilet breaks and fresh air throughout the day. As the area is not fenced, I would always keep dogs securely on a lead when outside unless their owner has specifically discussed a suitable alternative with me. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual needs and will follow their usual routines, feeding instructions, medication and house rules wherever possible. I’ll make sure they have a calm, safe and loving environment, with plenty of company, walks, playtime, enrichment and cuddles. I’ll also keep owners updated and let them know promptly if I notice anything unusual about their pet.

“Emmie was so wonderful! She was quick to respond to a last-minute booking and was wonderful in taking care of my cat. She was communicative with me and kept my posted on EVERYTHING she and my cat were up to, which was absolutely lovely. Definitely would book with again!!”
