Paws 4 A Break has been established since 2015 and as quickly grow from strength to strength. Amanda, Martyn and the team are passionate about all animals and the welfare and comfort of all animals in their care is paramount in importance.
Amanda Jane Burton came up with the idea after hearing that people were getting more reluctant to leaving their dogs in traditional kennels. They are fully licensed, insured, canine First aiders and DBS checked and are hoping to expand their business further by handpicking local carers to care for more dogs whilst their owners are away. Paws 4 A Break have many repeat bookings and that is a testimony to their client’s faith in them to take great care of their pooches and enable them to have a worry-free holiday. Infact early booking is now essential to guarantee a place for your pooches. All dogs and clients receive a free consultation at their own home before the stay and are registered on to the service. They also recognised the need for dog walking and other pet care services in their local areas.
Not all cats like to leave their home and go to a cattery so Paws 4 A Break started a cat visit service where they can take of your cat in your own home with as many visits as you choose. Their services offer you peace of mind that your pets will be well cared for, giving you the assurance that both you and your dog/cat both deserve.
Amanda is also a professional accredited force free dog trainer so please check her page out at https://www.facebook.com/Pawspositivedogtrainingacademy/

About us
Hi everyone and welcome to our page
I’m Amanda Jane (called Jane) and my partners name is Martyn and we are dotty about dogs and cats. We have always had dogs and cats and had lots of experience with nervous dogs through home boarding and walking lots of dogs from the shelters.
We used to live in Turkey and worked a lot with the shelter and street animals there, even fostering a few dogs that were bound for a forever home back in the UK.
Once we returned to the UK it was a natural progression to use our love for animals to start up a business using our passion.
In 2015 after a lot of research and planning Paws 4 A Break was born. Based in South Yorkshire we offer many pet services one being a fun and loving place to leave your dog’s whilst your away on holiday or unfortunately having to stay in hospital or even travelling for work.
Being in a home environment is much less stressful than being left in kennels. Every pet that comes into our care is showered with loads of love and attention and yes, I must say it, spoilt and cherished just like they are at home.
Our sole aim is to keep your pets safe, content and happy whilst you’re not with them and because of health problems we know stress can cause. We are keen to keep any separation anxiety to an absolute minimum by sticking to their same routine as much as possible. We strive to provide the very best service tailored to suit your dog’s needs whilst they are in our care.
They will have the full run of the house and safely enclosed locked garden, they can choose where to sleep whether that be in the kitchen/ living room or in our bedroom, even on the bed if that’s what they are used to.
They will get a chance to socialise and play with other well-behaved dogs of all shapes and sizes, spending the day running around the garden, sleeping on the sofa/ playing with toys and ball games with us, plus plenty of walks in the parks and woods that surround us.
In the evening, they can relax where they like, having cuddles with us whilst we are watching TV.
We feel it is very important to us that owners meet ourselves prior to the stay and our owners have told us that this gives them lots of reassurance knowing who will be looking after their dogs.
We treat every dog as if it’s our own so you can be sure that your pet is in safe hands whether we are dog walking, home boarding pet sitting, cat visits or just having a pop in.
Dogs are our majority of clients, but we do look after other pets in your own home such as cats, birds, fish and small mammals.
Paws 4 A Break are fully insured, licensed by DMBC council inspected regularly and awarded a 5 star rating with licence number LN/201800749, DBS checked, hold animal first aid certificates, I hold a diploma in dog walking and pet home sitting, a certificate in dog care and I am a ADTB fully approved instructor, an certified Pro Dog Trainer and an instructor for the PPGBI plus many other qualifications in FORCE FREE dog behaviour.
Now, we look after all dogs in our own home ourselves, but our aim is to expand and to find dog loving families who would love to help us take care of more dogs with full support from ourselves. These families will be fully vetted by ourselves and must be able to meet all our requirements regarding safety and can give 24-hour care, lots of love and cuddles and enjoy walks out with your guest dog.
They would also be handpicked for reliability trustworthiness and their passion for animals
Please enjoy using our site for further information on all our services, home boarding, pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking, pop in visits or if you would like to know more about being a carer
We are always looking for animal loving passionate trustworthy volunteers who would like to join our team and learn at the same time.
Give your dog a break!!!
Best regards
Jane and Martyn
