Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong dog lover & sitter🐾
Hi, I’m Beatriz! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and absolutely love having them as part of my day 🐾 After moving away for university, I really missed being around dogs, so I joined BorrowMyDoggy where I built up a great network of dogs I regularly cared for. This gave me experience with different breeds, personalities, and routines. Since moving to York, I’ve continued dog sitting and now have two regular dogs I look after. I also have experience with more nervous dogs—my mum’s dog is quite anxious and can be scared of new people and other dogs, so I’m used to being patient, reading their body language, and helping them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve also cared for family dogs for longer stays (up to two weeks at a time), so I’m very comfortable with overnight and extended care. I work from home 2–3 days a week, which means I can be flexible—perfect for daytime sitting, lunchtime walks, or keeping your dog company throughout the day. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with dogs—whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just giving them lots of attention and care. I’ll always treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I always aim to make pets feel as safe, comfortable, and relaxed as possible—whether they’re in my home or their own. At my home, I have a small garden for quick toilet breaks, as well as a great, fully fenced green space nearby for safe walks and playtime. I keep a calm, clean environment and stick closely to each dog’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions you provide. For stays in my home, I do ask that dogs are house-trained. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and make sure to follow all routines as closely as possible to keep things familiar and stress-free for the dog. I’m attentive to their behaviour, especially with more nervous dogs, and always take a patient, gentle approach to help them feel secure. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe hands.
Ratings and reviews
Beatriz took great care of Colin and kept me updated throughout the day on how he was. I felt comfortable leaving him with her and he has come home happy and tired out from a fun day :) I will definitely be taking Colin to spend time with Beatriz again
Beatriz looked after our dog for 3 days and we couldn’t have felt more comfortable or happier leaving him with her. She was excellent at communicating and met all of our dogs needs. She sent us lots of updates and photos, which was reassuring as this was the first time we had ever left him with a dog sitter. We couldn’t have asked for any better, would definitely recommend Beatriz to look after your pets and would not hesitate to have her look after our dog again!
Bia has always been a loving caregiver to my beloved dog! She is kind and intuitive, knowing what he might need and is then able to meet is needs, whether it's to play, exercise or a cuddle! I trust her completely with him and always know he is happy and safe with her.
I can't recommend Beatriz highly enough, she has regularly cared for my two dogs for the last few years. They have stayed overnight, and are always pleased to see her. They are definitely in safe hands, I don't worry at all about them. I'm kept in touch with texts and pics which is always nice. If you get the opportunity to use this lady you won't regret it.

Schedule
Pet care fits really naturally into my routine, especially during the week. I work from home 2–3 days a week, so I’m able to offer daytime care, have dogs stay with me while I work, and do lunchtime walks. During weekdays I have a flexible schedule, which means I can give dogs plenty of attention, regular walks, and company throughout the day. I do tend to be a bit busier on weekends, so I’m usually better suited to weekday walks, daycare, or sitting. That said, I’m still happy to help with overnight stays over weekends when planned in advance.
