Pet Sitting Dringhouses

“Lucy was friendly, is really knowledgeable with a lot of experience around dogs, and was fantastic getting along with our very energetic pup!”

Tom

“Octavia-Louise was a godsend today when we needed help to look after our boy who has recently been attacked. He took to her immediately and is clearly very kind hearted. As I was also attacked this has been such a benefit to me to know he’s been taken care of when I had to go out”

“Lauren is really great at communicating, really friendly and positive, and was really great with my pup! I feel confident that he’s in good hands :)”

Lydia T.

“Claudia was absolutely amazing, we couldn't have asked for more in terms of communication and care. She is a proper cat person (you definitely get the impression she is mainly doing this job to get to meet new cats 😊) and we felt so relaxed leaving our two for the first time. Highly, highly recommend.”

About: Having walked neighbour’s dogs from a young age and grown up with cats, I’m very comfortable looking after both. I have been on Rover since the start of 2026, and have done pet-sitting in my home, in their own home, as well as on a drop-in basis. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, ages and temperaments. I like to live an active life myself so higher energy dogs aren’t an issue! I’d be keen to follow your own routines with your pet to give them consistency, and of course give them a happy, safe and comfortable time with me. I also make sure to give consistent updates to owners so they know how their pet is doing - pets really are part of the family! I work full time Mon-Fri, generally at home on Mondays and Fridays, so dog sitting on long weekends is particularly good when I can give them undivided attention. I’d be happy doing duties before/after work and during my lunch hour when I’m at the office too. Weekend-wise, I’m entirely available and flexible to cater to the dog’s usual exercise routines. I can offer at least 2 good walks a day and can feed according to your dog’s usual routine (please provide their regular food). I would keep routines consistent and watch for any changes in behaviour, and provide regular photo/message updates so you feel connected. I treat all pets as though they’re my own - with a lot of love, patience and care! I’m trustworthy to provide the best possible care for your pet whether they are staying in my house or your own, and would respect your space if doing drop in visits and be particularly careful about locking up when leaving. If they’re staying with me, my house is in a quiet area with a secure, dog-proof garden. I would do my best to follow your pet’s routines to give them as much consistency as possible. I would also ensure to give you regular updates on how your pet is doing and what they’re getting up to! My aim is for your pet to return to you happy and relaxed.

“Ewan was friendly and quick to respond when booking a drop in visit for our Labrador. He tailored the drop in to our dog's needs and left a detailed report on the visit with lots of photos! Thank you for your help!”

About: I've been dog sitting for my family and friends for 5 years now, and have a gentle and caring approach to meeting new people and pets. I am a member of my uni's dog society where we socialise and walk dogs, and have experience from raising two crazy spaniels from puppy / rescue. Would love new company and experience!

I offer clean and responsible care for your pets, and love big walks and cosy evenings in. I have a car and great knowledge of walks around York. Unfortunately, I cannot offer stays at my own home.

“So happy to be able to leave my babies with Helen and know that they are in such good and caring hands! Everything was perfect, as always. Thank you so much 💚”

“Mika and Max tell me that Rachel was a very good replacement butler, and would be agreeable to her coming round again if we are permitted to take another break from them. Food and tickles were provided on time every day (Mika sat in the window each day checking the clock to make sure), in a very professional manner, and to their required high standards. Max was very pleased with his daily photographs, which he thinks captured his hansom side. Thanks Rachel.”

“Sophie was fantastic, really good communication, punctual and respectful of our home. Pip took to her instantly and was very happy when we got home. Would definitely book her again”

About: Hello! We're Lizzie and Sam, an animal-loving couple based in York city centre with a passion for pets and the great outdoors. Having both grown up surrounded by animals, caring for dogs, cats, rabbits and more has always been a huge part of our lives. In 2020, we welcomed our own rescue girls, Rolo and Oreo, into the family, which only strengthened our love for providing the very best care for animals. What sets us apart is our combined experience caring for pets at every stage of life, from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior dogs and cats who need a little extra patience, comfort and attention. We're confident with training, maintaining routines, administering basic care and medication, and adapting to each pet's individual needs and personality - giving extra snuggles or some distance wherever required. As active outdoor enthusiasts, we love keeping dogs happy with enriching walks and adventures, while ensuring every pet feels safe, relaxed and loved. We understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, so we'll treat your furry family members as if they were our own, providing plenty of updates, photos and reassurance while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine as we're both fortunate to work from home. This gives us the flexibility to provide care throughout the day. As pet owners ourselves, we're used to planning our days around the needs of animals and understand the importance of maintaining their usual routines. Being home-based means we're available to give your pets plenty of attention, care and monitoring, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy and well looked after while you're away. We always want to make pets feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible, whether we're caring for them in our home or in their own familiar environment. At home, we have a small, fully walled and secure back garden, providing a safe outdoor space for pets to enjoy. Our own cats, Rolo and Oreo, love spending time relaxing in the sunshine there

About: I adore animals and grew up with dogs, mainly terriers and labs so caring for them is second nature to me. I’ve worked in many places that are dog friendly also. I absolutely adore pets and and can’t wait to know yours. I’ve got over 10 years experience living with and minding pets, mainly dogs and cats, from puppies to rescues. I’m an active outdoorsy person so can provide that adventure if needed but also know a calm and comforting environment with a cuddle is sometimes what’s needed. I work freelance so my schedule is variable and flexible. I keep my calendar as up to date as possible but just get in touch if you’re interested and we can chat! I live in a new build flat, accessed via stairs in York. It is spacious and airy and near many green spaces with lovely walks and not far from the river and gardens. I welcome open communication so please share what your pet requires so I can best accomodate.

About: I’ve always had cats and dogs growing up and am a big lover of both, I will treat your dog as if it’s my own and happily keep you updated for peace of mind! I currently work full time but mainly evenings, I am normally off at the start of the week so available most times! My shifts change but I will keep my availability up to date :) I’ll always treat your home and pets with the same care as my own, I’ll follow your pets routine and any specific requests, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and happy while you’re away and I am more than happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind!

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, having grown up with pets throughout my life. I'm confident in providing day-to-day care, including feeding, walking, administering medication, and ensuring pets are happy, safe, and well looked after. Growing up, whilst having my own family's pets, I also regularly walked dogs for neighbours, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I have also previously cat sat which included feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, and giving cats the attention and care they need while their owners are away. I work from home at least three days a week, which means I can provide plenty of care and attention for pets during the week as well as at weekends. My flexible work schedule also allows me to fit in regular walks and drop-in visits. I live close to the racecourse, so have lots of green space nearby, making it the perfect location for walks and fresh air. Whether your dog loves long adventures or prefers a gentle stroll, I'm happy to tailor walks to their needs. I'm also available for pet sitting at your home, so they can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings while you’re away. As someone who spends much of the day working at a desk, I enjoy getting outside for walks. However, when back at my house, your pet will have plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced, secure garden where dogs can safely enjoy time outdoors, as well as easy access to large green spaces nearby for regular walks and exercise. I'm happy to adapt to your pet's usual routine and any specific care requirements, including crate training, medication schedules, feeding routines, or sleeping arrangements. Just let me know your preferences in advance, and I'll do my best to keep their stay as familiar and stress-free as possible. I also have two cats at home. To ensure everyone's comfort and safety, they will be kept in a separate, secure area of the house throughout any dog boarding stay, so your dog can relax and enjoy the space.

About: I have several experiences of looking after cats and dogs. Both walking dogs, cat sitting where I have fed with and played with cats. I enjoy looking after pets and giving them enrichment I am free in the evenings and on Sunday and Mondays at the moment. So would be be able to fit it it around my schedule. I would help with feeding pets and follow clear instructions. I am more than happy to play and spend time with pets, clean up litter etc. I love walking dogs and playing fetch with them.

About: Having grown up with different breeds and owning a three-legged rescue dog who required additional care and training, I have developed a strong understanding of the individual needs and personalities of dogs. This experience has given me patience, confidence, and the ability to adapt to different temperaments, routines, and care requirements. I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment. I can work remotely during the week and have availability over weekends, which allows me to have more flexible and cater the individual pet's needs. My priority is creating a safe, trusting environment where pets feel secure and loved. I treat every animal as an individual — paying attention to their personality, comfort levels, and any special needs. Pet parents can relax knowing their pets are cared for with patience, consistency, and genuine affection.

“Gemma looked after my cats for the second time recently. As always she was reliable, friendly and kept in touch. Arrived home to happy cats. I would definitely recommend and book her again. 🐾”

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.
