“Marta and her family took great care of Lizzie. They sent regular updates and photos and were very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. I can definitely recommend them. 😊”
“Laura is absolutely lovely!! Our 14 year old cockapoo is such a home bird and can get really nervous when we aren’t there but Laura made her feel really settled and by the sounds our doggy had a great time, she came home happy and content!! She updated us and sent us pictures which we really appreciated! Libby is looking forward to her next stay with Laura 🤩”
“Rusty was made so welcome with Lorna . She is a very lovely young lady who loves the dogs she looks after. Rusty is only 3 years 8 months old and it is the first time he has been left with a sitter. I was very comfortable and happy to leave him with Lorna. I will definitely book with Lorna again !”
About: I have always been around dogs from been a young child, My family have always had dogs ranging from large to small. I am currently enrolled on a dog training course which is due to begin in the next few weeks. I also dog walk with local dog walking groups every week and look after my friend and family's dog (Again, large and small). I enjoy learning about each breed and there quirks and I am able to behave consistently with a dog who may require more of this approach . I am currently a full time parent to a SEN child, so around school hours my time is spent caring for my little one. I like to be out walking during the day as this helps calm my busy mind, I enjoy caring for animals as I find this so rewarding and been outdoors. I had to give up my career and looking after animals is one thing I thoroughly enjoy and take something from, other than been a mum! I have a fully enclosed garden, and close by my home is close access to fields and TPT where I enjoy walking. I have 1 small nurtured male Lhasa apso who is friendly and well behaved. Providing the dog is house trained, they would be allowed to roam my home freely (Unless otherwise requested). They would be treated in a home from home experience.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We can’t recommend Amy enough! They were absolutely amazing with our energetic cocker spaniel puppy, Rocko. From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in great hands. They went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, entertained, and well cared for — plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles! We got regular updates and photos, and Rocko looked like he was having the time of his life. He came home tired, happy, and clearly adored his stay. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our little whirlwind! 🐾”
“Julie was great with Paolo and clearly loves dogs. She had read Paolo’s profile and asked questions relating to his medication so showed me that she was prepared. She sent updates and photos. Her house is a great space for dogs with a huge garden. Thanks”
“I can’t thank Sandra enough for looking after Wilma. It was the first time leaving her so I was quite anxious. She understood this and sent me lots of updates and pics on her stay. Wilma was cared for amazingly and I really trusted Sandra. Thank you again, 100% will rebook xxx”

“First time leaving Lucy for a week and I need not have worried, regular photo updates of her having fun, she has had a fantastic time, thank you so much for looking after my princess x”
“Think we have found the best dog sitter in the world. It was Sargents first night away from us in four years, Chloe was so good with him and kept us informed with msg and pictures, he won’t be stopping anywhere else.”
“Our dog Miller had an absolutely brilliant time on her holidays! We had regular contact and lots of photos, Georgia and her family were so welcoming and gave her so much love and attention. Would highly recommend using Georgia as a sitter, and will definitely be using her again ourselves!”
“Wow, Brillant. Devon and her family made Honey feel very much at home. Honey seemed to really enjoy being there, she was very tired when we picked her up which is brillant. Thank you so much. Highly recommend Devon.”
About: I've been informally dog sitting for around two years now and I really enjoy it. I work an office job during the week, so I am available to help from Friday at 3pm until Sunday evening. I'm an active sitter and love a long outdoor adventure in all weathers. I'm just as happy to take a stroll on lead down my nearby lanes, engage in a game of fetch or have a cheeky snuggle on the sofa for the afternoon - sometimes its hard to tell who's having more fun :) Your dogs will be free to roam around the bungalow, which is based in a quiet cul de sac in Great Houghton. There are no rules to where they can go, they are free to enjoy beds, sofas and the small enclosed garden we have out the back of the bungalow. One thing to mention is I regularly care for a friendly cocker spaniel, so it's important that your dog is comfortable around other dogs. I will try to stick to your normal routines where possible and will of course send updates and photos as many times as you need, I want you to feel just as relaxed as your pet. I am currently building my portfolio so rates and are good - perfect moment to get in touch if you're looking for a regular sitter while you enjoy a weekend away! I work part time as a support worker on Tuesday afternoons and I also work freelance as an accountant. I have plenty of time around that to give your pets my full attention :) I'm in a quiet cul de sac with an enclosed garden. There are lots of fun walks near me in varying length. Animals that stay here are treated as members of the family and will be loved and cared for as you would your own :)
“Maria was great with communication and we left our dog in good hands for 12 days with Maria when we went abroad for a family holiday. We had the opportunity to meet Maria and her dog Bambi at their home before making the booking to ensure it was a good fit for both sides and to discuss any concerns. Received plenty of photos and updates and on returning home our boy is very happy and has been well looked after, definitely recommend and will use Marias services again if needed”
“I can not praise & recommend Millie enough, not only did she put us at ease because our dog is old & but been left for a long time, she kept us updated & sent photo’s of how comfortable our dog was enjoying his time away.”
“Coco had a great time as always, was very excited when I dropped her off and got lots of regular pictures of her enjoying her holiday. We always know that Coco is going to be well looked after when we leave her with Janet so always helps us relax while away.”

Our first time using this service and it comes with some trepidation leaving your favourite child ;(we have 3 of those horrible human types too) with strangers. However from the first message and inviting us around with Rufus for a house visit, at which he disgraced himself, which I am ashamed to say, yet Amy was still happy to take care of him whilst we were off getting married! Over the visit everything went really smoothly and we were updated with how was doing and received many pictures of him having the time of his life (half we a sleep in various positions). It sounds like he was contributing to their office based pub quiz as well! Although I'm not sure he knows many answers I'm and certain he would happy form an alliance again with them in the future.
Devon and her family were absolutely amazing! They were so responsible and caring throughout the entire stay. Every day, they sent us photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind, and our dog enjoyed regular walks and lots of attention. It was clear that our dog had a wonderful time with Devon, her family, and especially with her new furry friend - Devon’s own dog. We’re so happy we chose Devon to take care of our dog, and we will definitely use her services again in the future. Highly recommended!
Susan was amazing with my eight-month old puppy. She asked lots of thoughtful questions to make sure she knew exactly how to care for him, which made me feel completely confident leaving him in her care. He had plenty of walks and playtime and especially loved interacting with the other dogs.
Rebecca is a lifesaver! This was Lizzie's 1st time away from home so I was quite anxious about how it would affect her. I needn't have worried as Rebecca was very caring and Lizzie loved her from the first meeting. She was very friendly and professional, sending regular updates whilst we were away, enabling us to have a stress free trip. Lizzie was happy and calm when I picked her up, I don't think she missed me at all! I would definitely book Rebecca again, and can fully recommend.
Danielle was absolutely amazing with my pup, Chase! From the moment we met, she was professional, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. I felt completely at ease knowing Chase was in great hands. She kept me updated throughout their time together and it sounded like Chase had some fantastic adventures! Whether it was long walks, playtime, or just cuddles, I could tell he was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring sitter.
