Pet Sitting Elvington

About: I’ve recently lost my beloved 13 year old dog and I would like to keep up with dog walking and dog cuddles. I have 2 granddogs that I look after regularly. I am retired so have lots of time available. I live in a quiet village setting with nice off road walks and open spaces and dog paths. I have a fenced large garden. I have plenty of indoor space with no other pets or children. I am able to crate dogs or not if required.

About: I have a lifelong love and experience with animals. I have three dogs and two cats, so I’m very comfortable caring for multiple pets and understanding their individual personalities, routines and needs. I have had dogs all my life, giving me extensive experience with feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, companionship and general day-to-day care. I’m confident around dogs of different personalities and understand the importance of keeping them happy, safe and well exercised. I have also had cats for the past five years, so I’m experienced with their feeding routines, litter trays, grooming, playtime and providing them with a calm and comfortable environment. I am currently 10 weeks pregnant and self-employed so I have lots of time on my hands now and in the near future, spending time with animals is always top priority in my schedule :) I have all the correct safety precautions for my pets already so yours will be perfectly safe with me I already have three dogs and two cats!

“Thank you so much for visiting Grace, she really has come such a long way from the first time you met, still reactive at the door but calming down all the time, thank you for your professionalism and time, we really appreciate it🐺”

“Jonny was an excellent cat sitter! He was dependable, communicative, and clearly loves cats. He sent regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. We’d absolutely book with Jonny again and highly recommend him to other Rover pet parents.”

About: I have my own 8 year old patterdale and often have other family members dogs with us! I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and thoroughly enjoy the joy they can bring. I can adapt everything to what each individual animal needs to ensure they get the best experience each time I meet them. I have recently been made redundant after a long time working in the corporate world! I’m embracing life a little differently and only doing the things that i love now. I’m currently available most days and happy to be flexible to fit with yours and your pets needs. I realise each animal is incredibly unique and they all come with their own specific needs. I will work with you to establish what your pet needs and when, to deliver the best experience for your pet and one less thing for you to worry about knowing your pets are in good hands.

About: Hello everyone! My name is Oksana. I'm originally from Ukraine, and I'm now building my own small business here in the UK. Like many animal lovers, I've always been surrounded by animals. I honestly can't remember a time in my life when there wasn't a little soul by my side. I've volunteered with animals in different countries, helped save lives, and found loving homes for dozens of stray animals. Through these experiences, I've learned that trust can't be forced — it's built with patience, kindness and love. I'm 36, and it has taken me years to finally find the field I truly want to work in. Now I know that caring for animals is not just something I love — it's where I feel I belong. Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, so I know how important it is to find someone genuine and trustworthy to care for your beloved family members when you can't be there. I hope I can be that person for you — someone who gives you peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, cared for and in kind hands. Warm regards, Oksana Founder of Kindred Paws Pet care is my full-time job, so your pet will always be my priority. I have a very flexible schedule and can tailor my visits to suit your pet's routine. Whether your pet needs one visit or several visits a day, I'm happy to help. I'm available Monday to Sunday, including Bank Holidays At the moment, I offer dog walking and drop-in visits in owners' homes. I always follow each pet's usual routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. During every visit, I make sure your pet has fresh water, food (if required), exercise, playtime, affection, and any other care you've requested. I also send regular updates and photos, so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. I'm also completely comfortable with home security cameras, as I believe transparency helps build trust and gives pet owners confidence that both their beloved pets and their homes are in safe hands

“Emma was great. She updated me daily and Raffles was absolutely fine and clearly well looked after. Thank you Emma.”

“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: Hey, I'm Frances, a York/Selby Local I've grown up having many pets - dogs, Birds and guinea pigs. ☀️ Being around animals has always felt natural to me. All throughout my life I have lived in a home who have owned many Boxer dogs, so my love for dogs grew from there, we adopted Isla a 10 year old White Boxer, with lots of energy. She's a strong, energetic girl who requires longer walks and a solid routine Clear communication is really important to me. I'll always respect your instructions on training or routines, and I'll always keep you updated with photos and little check-ins. I attend dance classes 3 times a week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 4pm and 8pm, so I've got plenty of time to spare for your dogs during the day. I’m happy to care for dogs in their own home and will always make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well looked after. I love taking dogs on walks and exploring different routes, parks and green spaces so they can get plenty of exercise and enjoy lots of new smells. I’ll follow their usual routine, give them plenty of attention and make sure they’re happy and settled before I leave.

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 have had pets since I was 10 years old. I have had cats, dogs and kittens and also rabbits. I have experience looking after people’s kittens/cats/senior cats and also puppies/adult dogs and senior dogs. I have medication administration experience as our old senior cat had medical conditions which required medication. I love looking after furbabies to ensure their individual needs are being met taking into consideration their different personalities. I currently work a 9-5 job Monday to Friday but I am free evenings and over the weekend. Over the weekend I am more flexible to look after pets in my own home, take them for walks and do drop in sessions. I can also offer dog walking/ drop in sessions in the evening after work hours. I have a fenced backyard for your furbaby and I am a 5 minute walk away from a field. I am available to meet up prior to a sit/walk or drop in so I am able to meet you and your furbaby so you can assess who is going to look after your family member.

About: Hi, I’m Zoe 😊 I’ve had the joy of looking after dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, and I currently share my home with an energetic cocker spaniel who keeps me on my toes and reminds me daily how much love and fun our four-legged friends bring into our lives. I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s going on long walks or simply giving plenty of love attention, I’ll make sure your pup gets exactly what they need whilst their mum or dad are away. I’m attentive to their needs, experienced in handling high-energy dogs, and committed to giving each dog the love and care they deserve. If you’re looking for someone reliable, patient, and passionate about dogs, I’d love to help! I work from home the majority of the time and have plenty of opportunity to give your pet the love and care it deserves, with regular walks, toilet breaks and cuddles! I have a fenced garden and a friendly cocker spaniel to keep your pup company! At your home, I will be more than happy to take instructions and look after your pet / home as needed to minimize disruption to their routine as much as possible.

“Fantastic work. Trained Dax to use the cat flap which he was previously scared of!”

About: I absolutely adore animals😊 We have two family whippets who are 11 and 7 and I could spend all day talking about how much I love them! I have lived at home throughout a lot of their life and spent a lot of time looking after them and walking them as they need a good run around. I am a massive animal lover who also works in the pet industry. I work Monday-Friday 9-5pm so I’m always free on a weekend. If I am not showing as available please still get in touch as my partner only works four days a week on shifts so he is often available too!😊 I have a fenced in back garden. As I have a cat I would only be able to board dogs that get on with cats.

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.

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? I have the following; Emergency canine first aid qualification (CPD accredited), Professional dog walker certification (MDWA accredited) and crash tested crates for your dogs safety (DTboxes)

About: I've been a dog owner for many years and have cared for others on multiple occasions. Happy to look after any dog from small to large. Dog care is my main event currently although I do also deal in artwork to clients around the world. Happy to travel to any location to give the care your dog needs whilst you are away. I prefer to stay in the dog's normal home to give it the best experience. I'll follow your usual routine and give your pet all the attention it requires and more.

About: Ever since a young age, i have taken care of all animals due to family and friends pets. My Grandmother, who had 7 dogs and 3 cats, taught me how to care for animals both stray and tamed from the age of a puppy to an elderly dog. This taught me many skills on how to care for animals, fulfilling not only their physical needs but emotional too. I am currently on the summer break with no jobs and no upcoming holidays trying to save for university and will therefore be free daily for anyone who needs any pet sitters or dog walkers. I currently only have a cat at the moment as my dog lives with my dad in Scotland, however, i can ensure your pet, whether thats a dog, cat or other, will be kept safe and entertained. As long as boundaries regarding the animal are understood beforehand they will be kept safe and secure.
