Pawsitive Paws Pawsitive Walks & Homely Boarding Services
Professional Dog Walking, Pop Ins and Dog Boarding Services.
(Barnsley and the surrounding areas covered)
At Pawsitive Paws, your dog becomes part of the family. I offer loving, home-from-home dog walking, pop-ins and now fully licensed home boarding in a safe, cosy environment.
Based in a calm, dog-friendly home with secure gardens and plenty of space to relax, play and unwind, your dog will receive personalised care tailored to their routine, needs and personality. Whether it’s daily walks, companionship while you’re at work, or a comfortable stay while you’re away, you can have complete peace of mind knowing they’re cared for as if they were my own.
I keep numbers low to ensure every dog gets the time, attention and affection they deserve — because they’re not just pets, they’re family.
Happy dogs, happy walks
About Pawsitive Paws
About me
Hi, I’m Alex, the owner of Pawsitive Paws.
I’ve always loved working with dogs, and after years of caring for my own and working at a dog day care, I decided to turn that passion into a business. I’m fully dog first aid certified and have achieved my level 2 animal care qualification, i'm committed to giving every dog safe, happy and positive experiences.
With me, your dog isn’t just another booking — they become part of the Pawsitive Paws family. Whether it’s a walk, somewhere your furry baby can call home while you're away or just a pop-in cuddle and feed, you can trust they’ll be treated with love, care and professionalism.

Pawsitive Reviews
What clients say about the care and attention we provide to their pets.
Bethany L.
Alex has been working with our English Springer Spaniel for a few years now. He has grown so much in confidence since he started walking with her. He now also walks to heal on lead, which is something no other trainer managed to make progress with!

"Alex is a true dog lover ! Very few people I trust with my 3 pooches, but I know they are in safe hands with Alex. Goes above and beyond and is just a natural with dogs 🐾"
Jaroslaw C.
We needed Alexandra's help to pop-in to see, look after and walk our 5 months old Irish Doodle puppy and it was all spot on. Timing was perfect and dog was happy. From meeting before the visit all was smooth.
FAQs
Q: What times will my dog be walked?
A: Walks are booked in time windows (morning, midday, afternoon, evening) rather than exact times. This allows flexibility with routes and ensures all dogs get quality time. We’ll try to keep your dog’s slot consistent each week.
Q: Do you walk dogs in bad weather?
A: Yes — walks go ahead in most weather conditions. We may shorten walks in extreme heat or icy conditions, but your dog will still get toilet breaks and enrichment time.
Q: Do you walk multiple dogs together?
A: I tend to stick to Solo walks if I can help it, this is because id prefer to put all my attention into the dog Im walking so I usually walk the same household only being walked at one time.
Q: Are you insured and first aid trained?
A: Yes — we’re fully insured for dog walking, home boarding, pop-ins and pet transport. We’re also certified in Canine First Aid.
Q: Do you offer a meet and greet before starting?
A: Absolutely. All new clients get a free meet & greet so we can get to know your dog, discuss routines and complete the necessary paperwork.
Q: How do I pay for services?
A: Payment can be made by bank transfer or cash. Home boarding I ask for 50% deposit at time of booking and the rest on collection, while walks and pop-ins are normally invoiced weekly on a Friday usually.
Q: What happens if I need to cancel?
A: Walks cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice are charged at full price and home boarding cancellations within 7 days notice will be loss of deposit.
Q: Do you transport dogs in your van?
A: Yes — dogs are safely transported in secure crates, in our fully insured van.
