“Otis seems to have thoroughly enjoyed his holiday with Marcy and her family and they seem to have enjoyed looking after him too which is lovely to hear. Updates and photos during his stay made me happy to see him so happy and content. I am sure Otis can’t wait for his next stay and I can’t recommend Marcy enough to anyone who is looking for someone to take care of their pet.”

“Emma was fantastic with echo our Dalmatian. It was the first time we left him so we were a little nervous but she kept us updated with pictures and put our minds totally at rest.”

“We would like to say that Laura and her family did a fantastic job looking after our little Pug Pablo. We were apprehensive about leaving him (his first time being left) but Laura and her family treated him as one of their own. Laura kept us updated with messages, photos and videos which was very reassuring. Pablo is currently sat exhausted and snoring on the sofa from his mini break at Paradise Farm. Our only concern was that Pablo didn't want to come home! We will definitely use Laura again without hesitation. Thanks again.”

“Elen has been fantastic all the way through the process of caring for our dog Ziggy. From the initial booking, contact and communication has been excellent through to collection. The whole experience has been exactly what we needed. Regular updates including pictures helped provide us with the peace of mind that our dog was happy and healthy. Elen is professional, organized and thoughtful. We and Ziggy will be returning customers and I would highly recommend.”

“Heather has looked after our dogs Buddy & Lucky twice now. I could see they loved their stay being happy and bouncy on both occasions. Would not hesitate to book again. Roger & Margaret”

“Eva took great care of Pepper for the week at the last minute. Sent photos to keep me updated and Pepper seemed to settle nicely. Thank you 😊”

“I was 100% happy with the service provided by Imogen, regarding looking after our dog, Lucy. Imogen is an intelligent, caring person, who understood exactly what was required. She took our dog for long walks. She fed and played with our dog. Her behaviours were perfect. I highly recommend Imogen.”

About: Since the age of 11 I've been taking care of 2 very cheeky, active springer spaniels. I believe that pets are a part of the family. All of my friends are pet professionals and I myself work for a pet microchipping database, focusing on animal welfare. My office is animal friendly and full of treats, beds, and toys. I excel in keeping your pets active while they're with me, plus I can facilitate some level of training through my pet professional connections. Since I can bring pets to my place of work I have availability for any mid-week doggy daycare and boarding. I also have 2 work from home days (generally Tuesday's and Friday's) where I could take better care of pets with more need (say they have to go to the bathroom more frequently). Weekend are more difficult however I'm often doing large hikes on weekends 3/6 hours long, I do these generally with my pet professional friends so there are many experienced hands in deck waiting to get involved. My work from home days can be changed and other amendments can be discussed. I have a garden with a high fence running all the way around. I don't have any pets in my house so no need to worry about conflicts and your animal would never be left alone in the house, either I will be at home with them or they will be at my place of work with me. My area in York has lots of paths for walking pets away from the main road to keep them safe.

“Harriet and Andy were amazing at looking after our dog, Gatsby. He’s an anxious dog and they made him feel right at home as they were both very calm and relaxed with him. They updated us with adorable pictures and took him on some beautiful walks. It was our wedding weekend and they even went the extra mile to bring him to our wedding on the day so that we could see him. We will 100% use Harriet and Andy again and everything was just perfect. Superb hosts!”

About: Me and Rhys have our own little toy poodle Ted who is 7 months and we’ve had him since he was 8 weeks, we’ve have experience in training him from a puppy and now through his teenage phase! Ted is the only dog I have experience with however Rhys, who will be looking after your dogs too, has had experience with dogs all his life! We both work for ourselves and I work from home most of the day! We have our little dog Ted too so there is always somebody at home! Ted loves other dogs and would love somebody to play with throughout the day too! Fridays - Mondays we would happily look after your dog for overnight stays! We have a fenced back garden and our little pup Ted to keep your dog happy and entertained! We can crate your dog if needed but they are always welcome on the bed or a comfy sofa!

“Hannah was so sweet and easy to communicate with from the start. Both of our dogs took to her right away, and I felt they were in good hands, which made our family able to enjoy our holiday away without worry!”

“Becky is a lovely warm friendly person and our little old dog George loved been with becky. We got regular updates and he seems happy on collection. Hopefully George can go to Becky again soon . Thanks so much x”

About: I’ve taken care of my dog since I was 11. I potty trained her and watched her grow from a new born puppy to an adult. I know all the ins and outs of looking after puppies, adults and seniors. I’m currently a uni student but I have a flexible schedule and I am able to fit caring for your pet in perfectly and they will be priority. I don’t currently have any pets within my household as I am at uni but it is a safe environment and the outside area in the back is fenced off.

“Elise looked after our lil dog for 1 night, she sent us regular updates. She was extremely kind and I am very happy with the service she provided. Minnie was well looked after and I would be very happy to use Elise again, I would highly recommend her to look after your fur babies xx”

“Mary was great looking after my dog, very quick to reply to messages and provided me updates.”

“Bonnie was happy staying with Lesley location is fantastic for her walks as she loves it down by the river. No problems at all would use Lesley again. Many thanks”

“Betsy had a fantastic time with Colette. We had photos and updates from Colette, whose communication was fantastic and helped reassure us that Betsy was being a good girl and being well looked after! Will definitely look to book with Colette again in the future!!”

“Victoria looked after our dog for 1 evening and all day and was a superb sitter, sending plenty of photo and video updates! Highly recommend!”

“Florencia has been fantastic looking after our cockapoo Ciro - taking him for walks; house / dog sitting while we were out; and house sitting with him overnight. Florencia is kind, caring, and attentive to Ciro, and as a result he is always very excited to see her! Florencia shares pictures, videos and updates while we’re away, and seems really relaxed and confident with Ciro. She is reliable and clear in terms of communications - I would recommend her to anyone looking for dog walking / boarding/ sitting in York.”

“We love Megan ! We normally take our dog everywhere with us but on this occasion she couldn't accompany us. We’d never left her with anyone before so were worried about how she’d react. All our concerns totally disappeared when we met Megan ! Megan is THE best. Our dog loved her. Megan sent us pictures throughout the time away and it was obvious our dog felt happy and well cared for. Absolutely recommend her if you’re looking for a dog sitter 🤩”
