House Sitting Bramhope

About: I have been a fan of dogs my whole life, have owned dogs in the past, and currently share responsibilities of caring for a male boxer cross with a friend. For the last 10 years I have been a reliable port of call for family, close friends, friends of friends and neighbours when a short-term solution is needed. Since hearing about Rover.com recently, I decided to reinstate this account and start offering these services to a wider audience. I work full-time, but only a 5 minute walk from home and will never leave a dog unattended for longer than 4 hours as a rule. My work hours at the office are 8:30-17:00 Mon-Thurs with an hour long break at midday, and 8:30-12:30 on Fridays. I usually use my weekends for hiking so can tailor walks to suit individual dogs and/or take specific exercise requests from owners. I have a high-fenced, secure garden with adequate space and shade and great retired neighbours either side of my terrace. On pleasant days when I am required to be in-office, I will often leave Fred (my boxer cross) outside with a big bowl of water so he can relax in the sun (or shade) at his leisure. With regards to overnight stays, it is a preference that dogs stay downstairs in either my kitchen or living room, but I can be flexible if certain dogs display any form of separation anxiety. Any dogs staying in my home must have been treated for fleas as standard so as not to jeopardise future pets from picking up hitch-hikers on their staycation.

About: I've cared for pets of all sizes and ages. From babies to very senior dogs and cats. I'm a calm person and have found that pets respond positively to me. I take note of clients requests, such as keeping dogs on the lead or not letting cats out. I only walk dogs from one family at a time, so no packs of dogs to try control. I'm a retired lady who has some time on her hands! I live with my husband and my children and grandson are not too far away. At your home looking after pets I try to follow your normal routine. I'm careful locking up and when I have to label keys I only use the pets name, no address or anything that could give anyone a clue to your premises in case I drop keys out of my pocket. I've never done that, but there could be a first time!

“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”

“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.”

About: I have dog boarded for 5 years now and I have experiance with all kinds of breeds and sizes , I have experienced dogs with medical issues and gave medication when needed. I work part time, Monday to Friday and 10-2, so I have a lot of availability to care for your pet whilst at my home, I am local to eccup reservoir & golden acre park both are 5 minute drive from my home, I can do three walks a day being, morning, afternoon & tea time, depending on the dogs preference , however I live in a lovely village witch is perfect for smaller walks. I have a huge garden with a 6ft fence securing the whole garden at the back of my house with patios doors from my kitchen to enter the garden .

“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.”

Lois B.

“Can’t recommend Charlotte enough. She came to meet Albie pre-visit, made sure she fully understood his routine and gave amazing updates with pictures whilst we away. Will be looking to book again”

Heather P.

“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”

“Morgan was friendly, on time & looked after Indi really well. I received a couple of updates & photos whilst I was away & had extra peace of mind knowing that Morgan is training to be a vetenary nurse so understood my dogs health condition.”

“Honestly can’t recommend Saffron enough, she looked after our sometimes reactive GSD in our home and by the end of the stay he was smitten. Shes really knowledgeable and was so patient with Gimli to ensure he felt comfortable with her before the main house sit (he finds having new people in the home difficult) Thank you Saffron! X”

“Freya did a good job of looking after my greyhound Lando, as well as the house. She communicated well, relying to messages in good time and keeping me updated with news and photos. Would use again.”

About: I have been on rover since November 2023 and as massive dog lovers, we are having the time of our lives looking after other people's pets. Look at our reviews to see how happy and content all your pets are with us. I have recently started house sitting in your home too. I have had dogs all our life and been surrounded by dogs in the family since childhood. I have a Labrador called Bella who is 7, she is great with other dogs and very well behaved. She is a real pampered pooch, regularly exercised and has lots of cuddles. Unfortunately we lost Ted our 8 year old Labrador to cancer in September 24, you will most likely read a lot about him in our reviews. We now have Nelly who is a 1 year old lab. Both are great with dogs, however they don’t always have to come to your house when I am dog sitting, sometimes they can stay at home. Monday to Friday Maria works from home so your pooch will have lots of company and cuddles. I work local to home for lunchtime walks. On evening and weekends I run or walk with Bella, so your dog will get plenty of exercise. We have a large enclosed garden for safety , Bella sleeps downstairs in the kitchen or living room, your dog can sleep up or downstairs.

About: I am a caring and reliable dog walker who loves spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy and well cared for. I always put a dog’s safety and comfort first, whether it’s a calm stroll or an energetic walk full of fun and play. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. You can count on me to provide dependable, loving care and plenty of tail wags along the way — and I promise, they’ll miss me when I’m away! Pet care fits perfectly into my life because I have a very flexible schedule and I’m available at any time. I love spending time outdoors and enjoy being around animals, so walking dogs and caring for pets is easy naturally fits into my daily routine. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening, I’m always happy to make time for pets who need attention and care. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I always make sure they feel comfortable and safe in their familiar environment. I follow any specific instructions from the owner, such as feeding times, allergies, walk routines, or favourite toys and treats. I give each pet plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while keeping their space tidy and stress-free. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel happy and cared for while their owner is away.

“Rosie is brilliant, always sends loads of pictures, the cats are very relaxed with her. She even walks one of them on a harness as he’s a wild little terrorist who demands adventure. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She is very responsible and trustworthy. Thanks, Rosie!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10. I was the main person who walked and took care of the family dog for a few years. I'm used to dealing with reactive dogs and dogs of all ages and sizes. I also have experience with cats, including kittens. I'm very active and would love an opportunity to have company whilst exercising. I am on a break from my studies until September, so I am very flexible with timings. Ideally, weekdays are best but I can also do weekends. My home is not suitable yo look after pets, but I am very happy to adjust to yours. I am used to enforcing rules such as no pets upstairs or on furniture.

“This is the third time Leah has looked after Kaia and again we’re so so happy. We came home after 10 days to a very happy and healthy pup. It’s clear Kaia adores Leah and spending time with her. She gets lots of play time and attention. Leah is definitely top of our list for dog sitters for our pup.”

“Booked Izzy for dog sitting our cocker spaniel Burtie at relatively short notice. He took a liking to her immediately and was relaxed and comfortable having received regular updates and photos. Izzy was professional and kept our house very clean and tidy for us to return to. Would highly recommend.”
