House Sitting Boston Spa

“Emily helped me out by agreeing my last minute request for fog sitting Despite arriving at our chaotic house, she waited patiently for us to ready ourselves even obliging my grandson to " look in the garden"! On our return, the dogs were very calm and had clearly been happy to be looked after by Emily (and James) The house was left clean and tidy and I would be very happy to use Emily again. Thank you Emily (and James)”

“Jordan was excellent at looking after our two dachshunds, one of which has a disability and therefore his needs are quite particular. It was a long day, 6.30am - 8pm house sit but Jordan patient and kind and was able to keep us posted throughout the day. Both dogs were happy and took to Jordan really well. 100% would have her back for another house sit.”

“Ryan was great! We were very last minute with our booking and Ryan was beyond accommodating and understanding. He was thorough in his questions and wanting to get things organized and made it clear that he cared about our dog and our needs. He took Stanley on adventures and kept him happy and busy during the short time that they were together. We came back to a happy dog and that’s all we can ask for. 😊 We highly recommend Ryan and will definitely be calling on him again.”

“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.”

“Saff did a great job at looking after Dackerz! We booked very last minute and we didn’t do a meet and greet but she clearly followed the care instructions and send lots of pictures and updates to us.”

“Courtney was wonderful! Id highly recommend her if you need someone who clearly cares for animals and loves spending time with them. She looked after our golden retriever overnight and he was calm and content when we returned. She sent us photos and updates throughout the visit too. Will definitely use her again! Thank you!”

“Faith arrived on time and kept us updated how our fur baby was getting on. Mia enjoyed her time with Faith and we will defiantly use Faiths services again. Thanks again”

About: I’m a retired professional with plenty of time, patience, and energy to give your pup the care and attention they deserve. As someone who enjoys keeping active, I love getting outdoors for walks and exploring local parks and countryside trails. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog enjoys long adventures, gentle strolls, playtime, or simply some company and reassurance, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I’m reliable, flexible, and will treat your dog as if they were my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I’m retired, so I have plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to caring for pets without having to fit them around a busy work schedule. I enjoy being active and getting outdoors, so dog walks are something I genuinely look forward to. I’m also happy to provide company, feeding, playtime, and check-ins for cats and other pets. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can be reliable and consistent, helping pets maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. I always aim to keep pets comfortable by following their usual routine as closely as possible. In a pet owner’s home, I’ll ensure they have fresh water, meals at the correct times, plenty of attention, exercise, and any playtime or quiet time they enjoy. I’ll also keep their living areas clean and tidy and provide regular updates with photos and messages. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and welcoming environment in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside, where they can relax and feel at home. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while respecting any specific instructions regarding feeding, medication, routines, or behaviour. Every pet is different, so I take the time to understand their individual personality, needs, and preferences to ensure they feel secure, happy, and well cared for.

“Faye was so fab with my dog, followed all instructions, lots of playtime, sent regular updates and was so flexible with timings and a last minute booking! The bonus being my house was cleaner than when I left it! Thanks Faye xxxx”

“Helene kan anbefales på det varmeste. Hun er voksen, hyggelig, holder avtaler og var veldig flink med min hund. Hun sendte meg oppdateringer med bilder, noe som var svært betryggende for meg. Jeg vil gjerne ha Helene som hundepasser igjen om jeg får anledning.”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. Since I was a child our family home welcomed different kinds of pets and I enjoyed looking after them. I love being around animals as they simply make me smile and feel happy. In my home country we have a dog called Phoebe, a cat called Joey, and a hamster called Tengu. I also have taken care of friends and family's pets where i have walked, fed and cared for them. I'm a reliable, patient and neat person. I'm fully DBS checked. I'm happy to offer drop-in visits, dog walking, pet and house-sitting services. I’m self-employed and my schedule is very flexible, so I’ll have plenty of time to look after your pets and give them all the attention they need. I’m fully DBS checked for your peace of mind. I’ll treat your home with respect, stay only in the agreed areas, and follow your exact instructions for looking after your pets.

About: I have my own dog walking business. I've lived in Wetherby all my life and im proud to offer a trusted, local dog walking and pet care service loved by many in our community. My journey into dog walking began with my own rescue, Duke, who came to me as a reactive boy with a big personality. He taught me patience, confidence, and the incredible importance of understanding what dogs truly need, lessons that shaped how i care for every animal i meet. I'm IMDT accredited in canine body language, i've attended their puppy course and i continue to expand my qualifications. I'm canine first aid trained, and fully insured, with a wealth of knowledge across breeds and temperaments. Before starting my business, i had hands on experience working with all kind of animals from calves and lambs to collies on the farm, giving me a well rounded understanding of animal behaviour and care. Whether i'm walking your dog, visiting your puppy, or checking in on your cat, i treat every pet as if they were my own, with kindness, respect and a big dose of enthusiasm. I'm proud to be known locally as "Local, Loved, and Trusted" I work full time as a dog walker between 8am–3pm on weekdays, alongside pet sitting and cat care visits before and after these hours. My schedule varies daily as I plan walks in small, well-matched groups to suit each dog. Dogs in my care should be comfortable being left for up to 4–5 hours, although I often bring pet sitting dogs along with me so they can enjoy walks and social time. A walk is always included. I live with my boyfriend and our dog, and I have experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and ages. This is my full-time job, and I plan my days around the dogs in my care. I currently offer pet care in owners’ homes, as I have recently moved and am in the process of obtaining my home boarding licence. In your home, I follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and settled. I provide daily updates with photos via social media and text, so you always know how your pet is doing. I take pride in being clean, respectful, and leaving your home exactly as I found it, if not better. For walks, I use my own secure leads and provide an additional tag with my details for extra safety. I always prioritise your pet’s wellbeing, security, and comfort while in my care.

“Isabelle helped me out at very short notice which I really appreciated. She is a lovely young lady who has a natural affinity with dogs. Mila, who can be anxious with new people, was totally relaxed with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Isabelle, and look forward to seeing her again in the future. Thanks again Isabelle!”

“Excellent communication. Arrived on time and was very generous with her time spent with our little Humphrey. She took excellent care of the property and gave us little updates while we were away. Couldn't ask for more. Highly recommend 👍🏽.”

“This is the first time I have used Heather for dog sitting and I couldn’t be more impressed. She replies quickly to any messages and came out to meet Daisy before agreeing to the dog sitting. We remained in contact and whilst I was away I received updates on how Daisy settled. An all round excellent experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Heather 🐾🐶❤️”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ben did an absolutely fantastic job looking after Bubba and Tiger while staying in our house. From the moment we met him, it was clear he genuinely cares about animals, and that showed throughout his stay. Bubba and Tiger were incredibly well cared for — happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable in their own home. Ben was respectful of our house, reliable, and kept us regularly updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. He took the time to understand their routines and personalities and looked after everything brilliantly. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ben to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring house sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking him again. Thank you, Ben!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience looking after my mum’s and sister’s dogs while they’ve been away on holiday. I’ve cared for them in my own home, making sure they stick to their usual routines with feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. Looking after pets has taught me how important it is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in safe hands. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care throughout the week. My availability may vary slightly depending on my work shifts, but I’m happy to accommodate drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight care whenever possible. Feel free to get in touch with your dates, and I’ll always do my best to help. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, friendly, and welcoming home where pets can relax and feel part of the family. I don’t have any other pets, so your pet will have my full attention and won’t need to adjust to other animals in the home. Pets are welcome on the furniture if that is part of their normal routine, helping them feel comfortable and at ease. I am happy to follow your pet’s usual habits and routines, including feeding, exercise, and any special requirements. I work part time, which means I am home a lot and can provide plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I also have a roommate who is usually home when I am not, so your pet will rarely be left alone. I am also happy to stay in your home if that is what makes your pet feel most comfortable. I understand that every pet is different and will always aim to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience. I will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel reassured while your pet is in my care.

“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 🌟😊”
