Caring creative seeks furry studio friends.
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Séarlait. I'm a Northern Irish lass and I design and make jewellery from my studio in Leeds City Centre and I'm seeking some furry friends to keep me company during the day. I make the short journey from my home to Leeds on the train (15 minutes) so your furry would need to be happy traveling on the train. I live with my boyfriend Liam and we are both big animal lovers and have had our little cat called Olive for 4 years now, but we're both mad about dogs. Last year while traveling in our self converted campervan we house sat two dogs for a month in France (a German Shepard and a Maltese so little and large!), and we have house sat various family members dogs while they go on holiday. I would love to be able to take advantage of my very lucky position to be working for myself in my own studio, with some quality dog cuddling time, and I can promise you your furry friend will be well loved in my company. At home, my house is small but cosy and although it only has a small back yard, living in Saltaire village I've very lucky to have plenty of places to walk right on my doorstep, and I'd be very glad to have a friend to have fun with. Equally if your pooch prefers to take it easy, or is a little bit later in life and likes a good snooze, they can snooze the day away in their bed and then keep me warm on the sofa on an evening. Whatever works for your pooch works for me :) I'll be completely honest and say that Olive (my cat) hasn't had a pooch stay in her territory before as this would be the first time I've had a dog come to stay in this house but as she's the epitome of a 'scaredy cat', I can't see there being any issues, but she can be closed somewhere separate if needs be :) Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend :) Séarlait x
Reviews
Cindy has so enjoyed her stay. She has come back more perky than when she has stayed in kennels. Serlait has provided a caring and loving home environment for Cindy. Do so hope she can stay in our summer holiday break.
I have no hesitation in recommending Searlait as a dog walker or sitter. She is totally trustworthy and loves all animals. Searlait has looked after my dog, Bracken, for a whole week whilst I was on holiday and I’m hoping she’ll do the same for me again! She took him on various walks over the course of the week, played with him in the garden and generally showed him a lot of love and attention. He loves her! Kate M.
My wife Carolyn and I had the pleasure of meeting Searlait and her partner Liam when they agreed to house and cat sit for our 7 cats, both Searlait and Liam did a fantastic job of not only looking after our home and cats for the week when we were away, on our return we asked them if they would like to stay on for another couple of weeks with us which they accepted. During our time together we found them to be exceptionally helpful around our house and cottage which we were working on and enjoyed their company we have always kept in touch and would welcome them both back to our home even just for a visit. Truly amazing and friendly couple.
Searlait stayed at our place for over a month and took extremely good care of our two dogs and our house. She took the dogs for walks regularly and played with them. The dogs seemed really happy and healthy when we got back. Searlait also sent us regular updates on how the dogs were doing. We would highly recommend Searlait as a dog/house sitter.

Information Searlait M. would like to know about your pet
I don't have any breed preferences :) I think the most important thing for me to know would be what to expect when walking them on the lead. Are there any situations that make them anxious that I should be aware of? Any signs of reoccurring injuries or illness that I should look out for? You will know what I need to know about your friend :)
A typical day
Roberts Park. Along the canal. Along the river. Up Shipley Glen, and maybe a stop for a pint in a pub or a quiet coffee. I have plenty of places to walk your pooch right on my door step. Alternatively if your friend prefers to chill, they can sleep in my spare room with me while I work, or we can cuddle up on the sofa in front of the fire and get snoozy.
