Dog Boarding Elvington

About: I've loved and taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember, part of a dog loving family and after looking for a pet sitter for our dog and not finding someone who truly loved and cared for him Like an dog mama and not just a pet sitter, I decided this was the calling for me. I am the type of person who would greet the dog before the owner! My promise is to love and care for your dog like its my own fur baby making him or her feel spoilt and truly cared for. No morning is better than waking up to dog kisses!! I currently work part time but your dog will never be left any longer than 4hrs in total. Well walked before I go to work and well walked after I come home, I will leave licky mats and Kong toys to play with while I am gone. I have a secure fenced garden with a beautiful friendly cocker spaniel named Albie. We have lots of walks around our home with being on the outskirts of York in a little village. All dogs are allowed full run of the house with access to the sofas and the beds!! Sleeping on the beds is always allowed.

“Charlie stayed with Sally and her family again at the weekend... lots of lovely photos and updates as usual, so happy that they love Charlie as much as we do... thank you again... Will keep in touch and book again Charlie, Rachel and Keith”

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.

“We approached Vanessa at late notice ass our usual sitter cancelled and I was going to be in town for work so needed Gary cared for. They have a lovely home and were super welcoming when I arrived after a long drive. I would really recommend and will be using Vanessa whenever I am in town. The constant pictures and videos of our happy little boy showed their family offered him nothing but love over the 3 nights he was there.”

“Picked Stan up after 2 weeks with Philip and Lesley. Stan seemed very happy and he had a nice silky coat. First time Stan has stayed with Philip and Lesley but will have no hesitation in him staying with them again. Thanks guys, Stan is like most dog owners very important to us, your care really matters.”

“We went in to york for 3 days and toby was very happy with Christine. On day 2 and 3 , he actually pulled us round the corner and all the way up to her front door! Thank you for looking after him so well”

“Our labrador had the best time with Jaye whilst we were on holiday. We had a visit so they could meet Gabe and we could meet them before we confirmed the booking. Jaye and Jonny looked after Gabe like he was their own and gave him a true home from home experience. We went on holiday with complete peace of mind.”

“Laura looked after our little cockapoo perfectly. He was so well looked after and loved the company of other dogs. We wouldn't hesitate to book again!”

“Winnie has thoroughly enjoyed her two night stay with Katie! This is her second stay and we will definitely be sending Winnie to Katie again. Katie is fast to respond and sends updates and photos whilst Winnie is in her care. Winnie is a high energy dog but this doesn’t phase Katie and she gives her the attention she needs and plays endless games of fetch! Thank you for looking after her so well!”

About: I have always had dogs in my life, as a child and as an adult. I have had dogs from puppies and also rescued dogs over the years. My dogs can go where they want in my home and they sleep upstairs with me. My garden is secure. I work around my dogs to make sure that Iam nearly always at home with them. I walk my dogs twice a day and are happy to walk and feed your dog to keep it in its routine I have a large fenced garden. I will do my best to keep your dog in the routine it is used to. Your dog will be one of the family

“Emma did a fantastic job of taking care of Ruby. We were able to pop round for a meet and greet before hand so that Ruby had a chance to meet Emma and have a good sniff around where she would be staying, which really helped her settle in quicker. Ruby can be quite fussy, and it was fantastic to see how Emma took care of all of her (sometimes quirky) needs. She also provided lots of lovely photos and videos of Ruby during her stay. My wife and I would not hesitate to recommend Emma as a dog sitter, she’s kind and a true animal lover!”

“Ella is fantastic with our dog Tipsy! Tipsy loves spending time with Ella and we get frequent updates whilst we are away. We reccomend Ella ! 😊”

“Angelina is absolutely fantastic and I could not recommend her more highly! She accommodated a very last minute request and was so helpful. Betty absolutely loved staying and was very comfortable around Angelina so we will definitely be booking again. Thank you!”

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.

“Joanne was amazing! We were a bit nervous at first about using a pet sitter, but Joanne arranged a meeting in a nice neutral space and I could tell from her interactions with my dog that she cared about dogs and we left her with our beloved little girl. While away, Joanne sent lots of videos and from the videos we could tell that our dog was really being looked after well - the dog was really relaxed in the videos, was being played with, and looked very very comfortable with Joanne. So comfortable in fact that we were a little worried our dog would want to stay with her when we came back, as our dog was definitely being pampered! We will definitely use Joanne again when we next go on holiday, so please don't pick her for the same week as we want! (just kidding).”

“Sophie was amazing, she took our dog on last minute and he had a fantastic time with her! She did long walk with him and sent me lots of photos and stayed in contact regularly. I will definitely be using Sophie again to care for our young dog. Thankyou!!”

“Fang has been a wonderful host for Miro. Always a joy to deal with, really cares for him, and they seem to have a lot of fun together. Thank you!”

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.

“Our dog, Hutton, had the best time ever. He was given so much attention and cuddles. Even on a very hot day, Cariana found a way to keep Hutton cool and comfy. Thanks so much!”
