Pet Boarding Dringhouses

“Absolutely brilliant and will use again. My dog was just treated like one of the family which is all you can ask for. She had the best holiday, which meant we had a the best time knowing she was being looked after and having a great time. The whole process was easy and relaxed, I couldn’t recommend more.”

“Lovely boarder and environment for our dog to stay ; regular updates and photos were much appreciated. We would be very happy to have our dog stay there again ☺️”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for most of my life. Growing up, my family had a female Pomeranian who was with us for over 10 years, followed by a female Husky. Caring for them gave me experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities. Now I live with my partner and our spayed female Cockapoo, Loopy. Looking after her has taught me the importance of understanding each dog’s individual needs, routine and personality. I’ve also looked after friends’ dogs, including a large Old English Sheepdog, whom I bathed and cared for, as well as several Cockapoos. One of my friend’s Cockapoos even stayed overnight in our home for a week, so I’m experienced in helping dogs settle into a new environment and feel comfortable. I genuinely love spending time with dogs. I enjoy taking them for walks, visiting parks and going on countryside walks together. I always pay close attention to their behaviour, comfort and wellbeing, and I’ll care for your dog with the same love and attention that I give my own. As a freelancer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give dogs plenty of time, attention and companionship throughout the day. Caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily life, as I share my home with my partner and our lovely Cockapoo, Loopy. As a Cockapoo owner myself, I understand the energy, affection and attention this breed needs, and I’m always happy to adapt to each dog’s own routine and personality. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime or simply relaxing with people, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved and at home. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness will always come first. I have a friendly, spayed female Cockapoo who enjoys the company of other dogs. I introduce dogs gradually and never leave them together unsupervised until I’m confident they’re comfortable with each other. I’ll carefully follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, medication (if needed) and any special instructions. Every dog is different, so I take the time to understand their personality and make sure they feel relaxed and secure. My goal is for your dog to enjoy their stay just as much as you enjoy your time away.

“Tom was great with our dog over Christmas. Local to us so our dog was very happy and settled in well. It was clear the stay went extremely well and we recommend tom, no hesitation. Will certainly go back next time. Thank you Tom.”

“Daisy had a wonderful weekend with Katie and Callie! It was our first time using Rover and the first time Daisy had spent a night in someone else's home, Katie was great at helping Daisy to settle, kept Daisy busy and kept me up to date through the weekend. I couldn't be happier with how everything went and will definitely look to book in with Katie again in the future 🙂”

“This was our first time using Liv and Rover and it was great. Liv was so lovely and keen to find out about Loki before his stay. She took wonderful care of him and kept us up to date with photos while we were away. Loki had a great time and enjoyed the attention and cuddles. Thanks Liv! Would definitely recommend 😊”

“Maddie was super patient with our 3 month old puppy, Haribo. This was a booking made on extremely short notice due to a last minute cancellation by another sitter, and so we were extremely lucky that Maddie agreed to take him in for 2 nights. Moreover, she took the time to meet him before the booking and immediately put my and my husband's minds at ease. Haribo was definitely well-taken care of. She was very keen on sticking to his routines, was very caring and affectionate towards him. She took him to the dog park, watched Bluey with him, snuggled with him on the sofa, and took him out regularly. He had accidents but Maddie was so understanding about everything. Haribo def had the time of his life and is a happy pup 😍 we have requested another booking with her because she's amazing!”

About: I have been around dogs for most of my life and love getting out for walks and enjoy the companionship that we can give each other. I currently have my own dog, Poppy, who is nearly 12. She still loves her walks and snuggling up next to me. I have experience of looking after family and friend’s dogs in my home and in their own home. I currently work full-time Monday to Friday term time as a teaching assistant. I am available on weekends and during school holidays so have plenty of time to look after you pooch. I am more than happy to take your dog for a walk, this is something I could even fit in after work. I would like to look after your dog in my home, or in their own home, whatever is best for the dog and you. I live in a semi- detached house with a fenced garden at the back in a beautiful village. There are plenty of lovely walks nearby in local woods/ fields. I also love exploring so am more than happy to walk your dog in its own familiar area if it has a favourite place to go. I have experience of looking after family and friend’s dogs in my own home and also in their own home. I thoroughly enjoyed having the dogs in their own environment, exploring their area on walks.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by all kinds of animals, from cats and dogs to chickens, horses, and even a rescue fawn! Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. Over the past few years, I’ve had the opportunity to travel the world, including spending time in New Zealand where I was fortunate enough to house-sit and care for some wonderful dogs. I’ve also built up experience through TrustedHousesitters, looking after pets in their own homes and making sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m very happy to provide references from my TrustedHousesitters stays if you’d like to hear about my experience from previous pet owners. Now that I’m back in the UK and settled in York, I’d love to continue doing what I enjoy and help care for your pets. While I’m not currently able to have a dog of my own, this gives me the perfect opportunity to enjoy plenty of walks, playtime and cuddles with yours! I’ll always treat your pets as if they were my own, taking the time to understand their individual personalities, routines and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks and adventures, a good game of fetch, or simply curling up on the sofa for some company, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, comfortable and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to leave your pet in someone you can trust, and I’ll do everything I can to give you peace of mind while they’re in my care. I’m primarily available for house-sitting and dog walks at weekends, as I work full-time during the week. Depending on the location, I may also be able to offer midday dog walks during the week, so please feel free to get in touch and I can see what might work. I’d also be happy to consider boarding, although as I live in a flat, this would depend on the size, temperament and individual needs of your pet. I’m always happy to have a chat beforehand to make sure I can provide a comfortable and suitable environment for them. I live in a flat in the city centre, and although I don’t have a garden, I’m a very outdoorsy person and love getting out for walks. I’m often down by the river exploring the local area, usually with a coffee stop at one of the many lovely cafés along the way — so there’s no shortage of opportunities for walks and adventures! When house-sitting, I’m very happy to follow your usual routines and instructions closely. I know every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to understand their individual needs and make sure they feel comfortable, happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Femke was lovely and Georgie really enjoyed staying with her and she even bathed him when her got muddy on a walk. We met her beforehand, which was great for reassurance. Would definitely use her again.”

“Georgia and her partner Luke are wonderful. They took great care of Loki overnight, including giving his paw a salt bath when it looked like it was sore. Lovely people, highly recommend!”

Hannah C.

“Kelsie watches Maggie overnight and was an exceptional dog boarder. She had great communication and was incredibly easy to arrange. Kelsie was great with Maggie, and her sweet dog was a tremendous co-host. Maggie had a great time and is looking forward to staying over again in the future!”

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.

“Mel & Lewis were the best dogsitters I could ask for. My dog couldn’t have been happier, and I couldn’t have asked for more trustworthy sitters. They always provided me with updates during the stay, and most importantly gave my blind pup all the love she needed. They recognised all her needs and made her feel at home from the beginning. Would reccommend them to anyone!”

Ian L.

“Couldn’t have asked for a better couple to look after our puppy. He was looked after and loved. Jesse was lovely towards him and got along really well. Sent plenty of pictures and videos to keep us in the loop which we really appreciated. 100% recommend.”

About: I have always been surrounded by dogs growing up and since working remotely have looked after multiple family’s and friends dogs over short and long periods of time. Working fully remotely with a flexible schedule allows me to keep any animal company whenever needed and provide them with leisurely or long walks and lots of attention. In a home setting, I ensure a comfortable environment for pets, attending to their needs with regular feeding, playtime, and walks. For pet owners' homes, I adapt to their routine, maintaining a consistent care schedule, and providing personalised attention to the pets based on the owner's preferences.

“Rocko and Fred had the best time with Octavia, they seemed very at home when we went to pick them up and we would happily leave them with her again. Had so much more piece of mind that they were having a nice time and being well looked after rather than being at a kennel. Very friendly and accommodating with arranging a meet up before the booking, and our late pickup time after a flight. Kept us up to date with plenty of photos of them making friends with her own dog ?”

Freya M.

“Neil and Carol were absolutely fantastic with our 9 month old dog Ollie. They took wonderful care of him and shared some lovely pictures of their adventures too! We highly recommend them and would not hesitate to have them look after Ollie again! 😄”

“Bethany was able to sit Gravy for us when we went away for the weekend. Gravy thoroughly enjoyed herself at Bethany's house and we enjoyed the regular photographic updates we got. Would highly recommend and use Bethany again!”

“Georgia is fabulous. She has an obvious love for animals and knows how they tick. She managed Rufus really well with all his little foibles! I would not hesitate to rebook”
