“Emma looked after Misty for us whilst we had a family celebration day. Emma soon had Misty settled and comfy and they had a good day together which included two walks. Emma sent us photos and a video of their outings and Misty looked happy with their adventures. Misty has taken to Emma and we will certainly be using her services again. Thank you Emma for taking such good care of Misty for us.”

“Olivia was fab - arranged to come over to the house for a meet and greet to get to know our dog. All communication spot on. We had confidence that everything was going to be fine whilst we were away. Plus the dog seems knackered so they must have had a great time! Thank you, would get in touch again when the need arises 🌟😊”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, having looked after pets for family, friends and neighbours, as well as owning both a dog and cats myself. This has given me a good understanding of their individual personalities, routines and needs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care or simply providing companionship, I always ensure pets feel safe, comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s routine and will treat every animal with the same care and attention I would give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule allowing me to provide walks, feeding, playtime and companionship throughout the day. I plan my routine around the pets in my care to ensure they receive constant attention, exercise and affection while maintaining their usual routines. Whether it’s daily visits, walks or overnight care I am committed to providing reliable, attentive care that meets each pet’s individual needs. The safety and wellbeing of every pet is my top priority. I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality and any specific care instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether caring for pets in my home or an owner’s home I maintain a clean, safe and calm environment ensuring doors and gates are secure, hazardous items are kept out of reach and pets are never left unattended for longer than agreed. I treat every home with respect and can provide regular updates so owners have peace of mind while they’re away.

“Helen is a delight! Really helped us out at short notice, and took Fred from another sitter, despite not meeting Fred before, and it was a late-at-night sitting. Fred was looked after beautifully, and we could not be more thankful for Helen for allowing us to feel that Fred was in safe hands. 10/10.”

“Thomas was absolutely fantastic with Noodle. He helped us out at the last minute and was on time, professional and asked a lot of thoughtful questions about caring for Noodle. We’d definitely ask Thomas again”

“Eleanor is a fantastic sitter. Arrived in great time, friendly, polite and asked all the right questions about my dogs needs for the evening. My dog loved her. Would highly recommend.”

Louise H.

“What a find she is Emma is fantastic. Reliable, responsible and respectful. The dogs adored her and the house was clean and tidy for our return. Highly recommend Emma to anyone who asks and wish her the best for her future assignments”

“Gabby has just finished her dog sit for my little boy, Rolo. I cannot thank her enough! Gabby sat Rolo for 2 weeks whilst we were out of the country. I was nervous/anxious at first because we’d never left Rolo for so long but there really was no need for me to be! Gabby arrived on time as planned, which gave me plenty of time to go through instructions with her and take Rolo for a short walk. They had previously met when doing a meet and greet. Gabby messaged me every day with updates and photos, which I was really grateful for with this being a new experience for us and Rolo. My heart melted when Gabby sent me a photo of Rolo sleeping on his back, meaning that he was comfortable and trusted her. Gabby followed all instructions and checked with me if anything needed clarifying. She even watered my plants! I would highly recommend Gabby and plan on booking her in the future.”

“Jonny came to see Ruby In advance of us going out for the evening just to say hello to us and Ruby as he lives nearby Ruby is a 14 week old puppy We felt very reassured by that He came on time and sent us pictures of Ruby whilst we were out for the evening so we knew she was absolutely fine We would definitely recommend Jonny to people and we will contact him again if we have another night out”

About: Hi, I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and I’ve come back from university for a long holiday break and would love to welcome your dog into my family’s home to stay. I’m also available for dog walking and day care. We can offer a fenced and safe garden, comfortable sofa and plenty of time for cuddles, company, walks and playtime to all the dogs that stay with us. Our home is very dog friendly and full of treats and toys. We live local to the river and multiple green spaces for a variety of walks. Our family dog, Willow, is 5 years old, she’s an independent miniature poodle. I am happy to arrange a meet and greet before any booking if you would like to see how your dog gets on. I can also easily accommodate separate walks for your dog if you prefer. I want to make your pet feel like this is their home from home so if they have any special requests to make them feel comfortable then please feel free to ask 😁 I’m back from university so I’m available most days, including weekends. I will also be taking care of my own dog when my parents are at work, so I have plenty of time to spend with your dog. I can easily accommodate a dog crate, if your dog is happiest sleeping there. I have a medium-sized fenced garden and live close to Bootham park and the river for nice walks. Your dog is welcome on the sofa and my priority is making them welcome and comfortable.

“Lucy, took good care of kip and added some lovely pictures of him and also left the house very tidy. Would definitely ask Lucy to dog sit again!”

“Tamara was wonderful with Maude. I came home to a happy healthy pup who had blatantly had the best time with this lovely calm and confident young lady. Thank you so so much Tamara and I would highly recommend her to anyone in the area she’s a gem !”

About: I have had pets since I was 10 years old. I have had cats, dogs and kittens and also rabbits. I have experience looking after people’s kittens/cats/senior cats and also puppies/adult dogs and senior dogs. I have medication administration experience as our old senior cat had medical conditions which required medication. I love looking after furbabies to ensure their individual needs are being met taking into consideration their different personalities. I currently work a 9-5 job Monday to Friday but I am free evenings and over the weekend. Over the weekend I am more flexible to look after pets in my own home, take them for walks and do drop in sessions. I can also offer dog walking/ drop in sessions in the evening after work hours. I have a fenced backyard for your furbaby and I am a 5 minute walk away from a field. I am available to meet up prior to a sit/walk or drop in so I am able to meet you and your furbaby so you can assess who is going to look after your family member.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, and horses, so being around pets has always been second nature to me. I currently have a cat who means the world to me, and I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone who will treat them like family. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having calm company, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well looked after. I am available full time to care for your pet, offering services like walkies, drop-ins, feeding, cleaning bowls during each visit, brushing, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I also provide daily photos and updates. Understanding how busy life can get, I am flexible with same day bookings and always ready to provide reliable help at short notice. Additionally, I am more than happy to stay overnight in your home to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure. Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I treat every pet with the same care and attention as if they were my own. I know inviting someone into your home is a big decision, so I will leave your space clean, tidy, and exactly as you left it. Your pet will receive a loving environment and the best care! Please let me know if you have any questions.

“We’d never left eight-month-old Fred overnight before, so I was anxious about leaving him for four days while we went on holiday. Turns out there was no need for worry because Chloe was absolutely brilliant. She stayed at our house for the three nights, and even got here super early the first day so that Fred didn’t have to be left alone when we left for the train station. Chloe was super responsive and kept us updated the whole time we were away. We came home to a very happy puppy and a house that had also clearly been very well looked after. Chloe is friendly and thoughtful and great with Fred. I recommend Chloe one hundred percent and will absolutely be calling on her again!”
