Dog Sitting Clifton

“I’ve had Connor look over my cats for a few years now and I was more than happy to schedule him again! He’s timely and always provides pictures with his updates, which I appreciate - it’s good to see a little snippet of my cats each day when I’m gone. My girls are messy and he’s very tidy with the cats, cleans the litter trays regularly, and uses the hoover to clean up any messes my cats have left behind. I’ve also forgotten to take out the bins/recycling before when I’ve been traveling. If he’s cat sitting, he always happy to take the bins to the curb. He’s incredibly reliable and my cats love him! I will be definitely be booking him again.”

About: I’ve taken care of numerous dogs, aging from pups to seniors. I have maintained training programmes, as well as managing nervous and aggressive dogs. My experience in care work means I am exceptionally attentive and empathetic. I have a flexible schedule as a student. I am looking for part time work, and I am happy to work around pet owners requirements. My approach differs between cats and dogs. Cats: I keep a calm, quiet environment with no loud noises or surprises. I like to give the cat the space it deserves, and allow it to approach me when ready for cuddles or playing. Dogs: My fenced garden means easy access to outside. Lots of playing, goofing around and mental stimulation.

About: From childhood, I have lived with dogs and cats of different breeds and ages. I work 1 hour a day in the morning and afternoon, term time only. The rest of the day I am free, as well as, weekends.I live with my husband and our home is calm and pet friendly. We have a secure back garden. We have lots of lovely walks on our doorstep and a safe, secure gated field nearby. Visiting grandchildren are 14 years plus. I would follow the owners wishes regarding the caring and exercising of their pet, making sure their pet feels happy and relaxed in our home, just as my own pets do. I would want the owner to feel reassured when leaving their pet and I would keep them updated throughout their stay. If your pet would enjoy the company of me and my pets, there is always room for them on our settee! I work one hour a day in the morning and afternoon, weekdays and term time only. I am free the rest of the time and at weekends. I have my own car for transporting pets. My home is calm and relaxed and dog friendly with a secure garden and lots of lovely walks on my doorstep. There is a secured gated field nearby. I can give your pets lots of fuss or leave them to rest and relax if they wish. I would ensure I followed the owner’s instructions and I would keep them updated. I would keep a good routine, with feeding, making sure their pets food is fresh in clean bowls with access to fresh water. I would exercise them to suit their needs. I am happy to bathe, brush, clean teeth if they allow but I do not clip nails. I would give medication according to owner’s instructions. I would ensure harnesses, leads are secure before leaving on a walk and car restraints are secured before transporting. Pets are allowed on our chairs and sofas and beds and I would like them to feel safe, relaxed and comfortable. I can crate if required. I would give positive praise and fussing, helping your pet to feel at home in our home!

About: I have been living with dogs since I was 6 years old, and my late dog was part of our family for 18 years. I am confident in caring for dogs, including walking, feeding, brushing, and giving massages, as these were my responsibilities back in Japan. I also have experience caring for both young and senior dogs. I’m currently studying at university and have a flexible schedule to spend quality time with your dogs. I am available to work from 11am to 6pm. I can take your dog on walks wherever and however they enjoy, as I have plenty of stamina and love being active with dogs. I mainly have experience with small dogs, but I am also comfortable with larger dogs, as I have experience handling horses as well.

About: I'm El! I had a dog from when she was a puppy right through to old age. We trained her with various commands when she was young as well as monitoring her care and medication when she was older. I have also helped with friends and families dogs with day to day care (fed, walked, bathed etc). I currently only have weekends and evenings/nights available to look after pets. I can also only look after pets in their owners home as mine is under renovations. Caring for pets in their owners home will needs to be discussed on a case by case basis for the pet and the owner. I will always enter caring for a pet with compassion and a nurturing mindset. Looking after a pet in their owners home I would need to understand the boundaries already in place and would want to know their expectations for their home and their pet before before services being agreed.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. For the past decade, I’ve owned and cared for more specialized pets like ferrets, which has given me a deep understanding of patience, attentiveness, and individualized care. I especially love dogs and have experience training puppies as well as caring for senior dogs who need a little extra gentleness and support. From high-energy youngsters to calm, elderly companions, I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s unique personality and needs. No dog feels unfamiliar to me, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'm available most (if not all) days of the week currently and have plenty of time in my day to care for your loving pet. I'll care for your pet in your own home to your standards and instructions including play, treats, and meals. I can also care for them in my home, but have only a limited terraced garden space for them to play outside (my home is big for roaming, for more indoor inclined dogs).

About: Hello I've been looking after dogs for around three years now and all the owners I have helped have given me great feedback on my service. Above all I am caring and professional and treat your pet as if it were my own. I work from home all day and so I can care for animals around my work schedule. I love to take dogs for walks from my home in York and am also able to stay at your home if that's of interest for you. I can happily accommodate any of your specific needs, just let me know what it is you need and we can happily have a chat in advance to allay any of your concerns.

About: I have my own cat and dog who I trained and looked after myself as a puppy. I was often left with my own animals alone as a child and I still am relied on to care for them to this day. I have also looked after friends’ pets. I love any cat or dog and am willing to learn any care for any extra support that may be needed . I am currently home from university and unoccupied. I love animals, and want my life to be full of them so any of my free time I can put into that is perfect. I am very careful to keep things tidy and organised, while catering to your pet’s comfort. I am coming into their and your home and so do my best to adapt to their environment, while taking care of your home!

“Was quick to answer a last minute booking and was amazing with our puppy. Took some lovely photos and kept me updated. Would definitely book again!”

About: Hi, I’m Ellen, and I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life. For years I’ve been entrusted to walk dogs belonging to friends, family and paying customers, and to do drop-in visits for pets. I also walk and care for my own two dogs, Bella and Wilby, on a daily basis. In 2021 I also had the wonderful experience of raising Bella’s litter of 5 puppies in my family home, from their birth right up until they moved in with their new families (apart from Wilby who we decided to keep!). Wilby is an anxious dog and doesn’t get on well with other dogs, so I’m experienced in walking particularly difficult and antisocial dogs. I’m currently a university student, so my pet care fits around my university schedule. I’m available during the early mornings and the evenings, and my availability varies during working hours, but I’ll always be able to make time for your pet. I’m also available throughout the day on Saturdays and Sundays. Whilst on walks, I prefer to stick to green areas rather than roads for both the safety and enjoyment of your pup. I also shower them with all the pets and attention that they could want.

“Thank you so much ”

About: Hi! I’m Max and I’m 22. I have grown up with dogs - from a yappy, moody Shih Tzu to two needy French Bulldogs and three dopey, dribbly Newfoundlands. My parents even have two Sulcata tortoises! My girlfriend and I moved to York together for University a few years ago and, having graduated, decided to stay here. We’re not currently in a position to have a dog of our own but I am very much missing having so many dogs in my life! I currently work from home as a freelance illustrator, meaning I’m happy to work completely around your schedule. Whether it’s long walks, constant attention or an oddly specific dinner time, you can rest assured that I will maintain your pups routine. As a freelance illustrator working from home, I’m able to cater completely to your pets needs, whether it be hourly wee breaks, lots of play time or long walks. I’m available to house-sit for under a week. My partner is just as excited about the prospect of meeting new pets so she may help with walks and come to give even more fuss and attention when she’s free (with the owner’s permission of course!) I will follow advice from the owner regarding any safety instructions, off-limits areas of the house, how much attention your pet likes & needs, and any recommended routes for walks.

About: From my childhood surrounded by dogs - from German Shepherds to Spaniels -to raising my own gentle Labrador, caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I truly believe life wouldn’t be the same without our four-legged companions, and I treat every guest dog as part of my family. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs -from energetic youngsters to gentle seniors and anxious rescues. I only take a small number of dogs at a time, which allows me to give them calm, individual attention and a truly homely atmosphere. I live just outside York, in a peaceful countryside setting with a large secure garden, private fields, and quiet woodland paths - perfect for relaxed walks and safe playtime. Working from home means your dog will have company and care throughout the day. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your furry friend is safe, happy, and loved. Every dog has its own rhythm - some enjoy adventures, others prefer a cosy nap in the sunshine. I adapt to each one’s personality and routine, ensuring they feel settled and secure. I work from my home office, which means your dog will always have company and care throughout the day. We live in a secure home with a large garden, open private fields, and quiet woodland paths - perfect for plenty of safe, relaxed walkies. I live just outside York, in a peaceful and secure countryside home that provides a calm, safe environment for your furry friend. The property has a large enclosed garden, private fields, and quiet woodland areas -perfect for relaxed play and exploration. Depending on your dog’s personality and needs, I’ll make sure they feel completely at ease. Sociable dogs are welcome to share a room with my own gentle Labrador for company, while those who prefer more space or quiet have a comfortable area of their own. Crates are available if your dog is used to them or feels safer that way; everything is adapted to what makes them happiest and most secure.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and always been around dogs and loved them. I have just finished my year as the President of Dog Society at the University of York, bringing dogs to campus each week for students to meet and play with when they’re feeling homesick. I’ve got experience feeding, walking, washing and caring for a variety of sized dogs, from Miniature Dachshunds to Dalmatians and everything in between. I also have experience of giving dogs and cats pill based medication - even to pets that really hate them! My own dog loves to run off on walks so I’ve got plenty of experience with dogs who are escape artists so I’m well aware of all their tricks! I like to meet with you and your dog before hand to get to know you both and give you peace of mind when I look after them. I am at home in Sussex until end of August when I am then back in York full time I have just graduated from the University of York and now work Monday to Friday however I am flexible and am around on the weekends so have lots of time for looking after your dog. I am happy to look after your dog, just message me and we can sort a time that suits. I’m willing to become a regular helping hand for your dog. I am unable to care for pets in my own home at the moment due to renting my home however I am confident walking dogs and caring for them in your own home.

“I can’t recommend Scott highly enough! He’s been brilliant with our German Shepherd puppy. From the moment they met, our little one absolutely adored him – tail wagging like crazy and zero hesitation, which says everything when you have a sometimes-wary GSD pup. Scott’s knowledge of the breed is outstanding, and he’s gone far beyond basic sitting with house visits, extra training advice, and general support that’s made us much more confident owners. Thanks to him, our puppy is calmer, more independent, and genuinely thriving. Scott clearly loves what he does and understands dogs completely. If you want someone reliable, knowledgeable, and who your dog will love, book Scott – we already have him in mind for every trip! 🐾❤️”

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.

About: I have had dogs for most of my life and would love to get one now, but this isn’t possible for me at the moment. So I have decided to look after other people’s dogs to get my puppy fix!! I have experience training my families dogs from puppy age and know exactly what a dog can and can’t do/have. I would treat any dog as my own, giving it exactly what it needs, whether that’s lots of cuddles and walks or just a place for some rest. I usually have a busy schedule with work, however I always have a day off in the week and every other weekend off. I would work around whatever times & dates are needed, making sure that your dog gets the best possible care! I live in a flat, however there is a big field next to where I live and I have a car, so I would be able to drive to any good walking spots as well! Please let me know of any requirements your dog may have, so I can give your dog the best care possible!

About: Founded on a genuine love for dogs my mission is simple; to provide a safe, reliable, and fun walking environment to keep tails wagging and owners worry free. Whether it's a gentle walk around the neighbourhood or energetic outings with friends, I tailor every walk to suit your dogs needs, personality and pace. I am a professional dog walker. I have three walk slots a day. Morning/lunch/afternoon with home visits in-between. Which time best suits you?

About: I am a huge animal lover, have had dogs my whole life and currently have a 3 year old female Cockapoo who loves play dates. I also helped to care for my 2 elderly family dogs who had arthritis and hip dysplasia and needed daily medication. Having been through separation anxiety with my own dog, I know how important it is to get the best care for them, with someone you can trust. I guarantee to care for your dog as though they are my own and give them all the love and attention they need. I also know how expensive dog care can be so I aim to keep my rates low to help people with access to affordable and reliable care. I work from home so can be with your dog 24/7. I can walk them with my dog before and after work and they will have access to the garden all day. I have a completely enclosed garden and my dog Leni will keep your fur baby company. She loves to play but can also be very calm when needed and usually gets along with all dogs.
