Highlights
Pet care experience
Quiet, friendly & experienced
Experienced pet sitters that have been dog sitting in the UK for 7 years. Myself and my husband have had cats and dogs our whole lives (both in our early 30s). We have had small and medium sized dogs in our home as our own pets, but with our latest pet passing a few years ago, we wanted to do some dog sitting! We lived in the Netherlands before moving to the UK (we are irish originally!) and we did dog and cat sitting and walking and over the 3 years we lived there. We haven't gotten our own pet as we have been moving around a lot the last 10 years so pet sitting is a great way to get some animal love! We are comfortable with lots of kids of pets, used to walking, keeping them company and playing with them! We are also happy to give medications and bathe pets as needed, as we both had to do that with our own pets. We have no pets currently so any pets we take in will have all our attention! We have a fenced in garden so they will have access to outdoor space. We also have no kids in the house so pets who are not keen on little children will be comfortable too.

Really recommend! Bear had a great time with Deirdre and Liam. Really friendly and provided lots of updates and photos through the week. Took Bear on lots a great walks through the woods and they accomodatee his separation anxiety. Would definitely book again.
Fantastic. Deidre looked after my Italian Greyhound beautifully. She got two walks, a doggy friend to play with, and loads of cuddles. Deidre kept me updated with pictures throughout the day. Thanks so much!

Schedule
Deirdre is an academic so she has a lot of flexibility to work from home as needed. Liam is currently working from home too so we are often both home most days!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fully fenced garden which is great, but if you pet has a strong prey drive, just let us know! We usually walk big dogs together and keep dogs on leads unless we know them well.
A typical day
Because I am home during the week, I would love go take some nice walks in the nearby parks, play in the garden and play with toys inside in addition to relaxing after all the excitement! We have Roundhay park nearby and Potternewton at the bottom of the road, which are beautiful to walk around!
