About Us

Welcome to Red & Co. Pet Care, where dogs are treated like family. Our home in Pontefract is a safe, cosy space filled with love, routine, and calm energy—perfect for dogs who need comfort, stability, and plenty of affection while their owners are away.

We believe dogs thrive when they feel secure and understood. That’s why we keep numbers small, follow gentle daily routines, and tailor care to each dog’s personality. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, quiet cuddles, enrichment games, or simply being close to people, we make sure their stay feels just like home.

We follow the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018, keeping high standards of safety, hygiene, and supervision at all times.

Our values are simple:

  • Love & Care — Every dog is treated with kindness, patience, and genuine affection.

  • Safety First — Secure spaces and thoughtful supervision.

  • Comfort & Calm — A peaceful home environment with predictable routines.

  • Honesty & Trust — Clear communication and regular updates.

  • Individual Attention — Every dog’s needs, quirks, and comforts matter.

We’re proud to offer a warm, personal boarding experience that puts dogs first and gives owners complete peace of mind.


Meet the Team

Charlie - Founder & License Holder

Charlie has loved dogs since they were tiny—just 2 or 3 years old, happily toddling after any wagging tail they could find. That early love never faded. Over the years, Charlie built a career dedicated to animal care, earning a BSc in Zoo Management and gaining hands‑on experience as a zoo keeper, animal trainer, animal management tutor, dog walker, and a fully canine first aid trained carer. Calm, patient, and deeply devoted to dogs, Charlie creates a peaceful, predictable environment where every dog feels safe, understood, and genuinely loved.

Zach – Assistant Carer

Gentle, steady, and naturally calming, Zach helps keep the home running smoothly. They support walks, feeding, enrichment, and supervision whenever they’re available, offering a warm presence that dogs instantly relax around. Their quiet understanding of canine body language makes them a reassuring part of the team.

Red – Resident German Shepherd

Red is the friendly “referee” of the household. Calm, low‑energy, and wonderfully tolerant, she loves to supervise play and make sure everyone’s being polite. Her steady temperament helps visiting dogs settle quickly, and her gentle confidence brings a sense of balance to the home. Many dogs take comfort from her calm presence the moment they arrive.
