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.

“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🐺”

About: Recently returning to England, I've spent around the past 3-4 years volunteering/working at animal sanctuaries from around the world to here in England, farm animals to cat and dog . I'm a confident worker and my relaxed nature instantly has animals feeling comfortable around myself and others. Experienced dog handler and level 2 qualified in grooming. Learnt to handle multiple dogs simultaneously of different temperaments, from rehabilitating and socializing and co-living and working with my own pack, prioritising the well-being and welfare of the animals at all times. Having recently come back from travelling and working abroad I am seeking work but in the mean time I have a lot of free time so flexible and open with my schedule so get in touch while you can. Happy to care for and pet sit overnight if required additionally! I understand the importance of the well-being and safety for animals in all environments at all times. Living with a cat and having cared for many animals under one roof I prefer to be present all the time to ensure the safety of all animals in my care, not to mention love being around them! Highly observant and know what to do if a situation should arise and confident in knowing how to handle different situations based on personal experiences.

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.

“Another successful visit from Jonny. Tigger has finally come out of his shell and started interacting with him—long may this continue. Thank you, Jonny, for taking such great care of our boys!”

About: I have had dog all my life. At the moment I currently have 4 dogs. I also helped out in kennels in Tenerife last year. I am full time. Limited availability on Wednesday and Thursdays as I am at university but this can be done online if I am pet sitting. I will come round for a meet and greet to make sure me and your fur baby get along great. I also take veterinary details in case of an emergency. I will keep doors, gates, windows secure. I will be round all hours to make sure they are happy and looked after.

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.

“Georgia and Will are great. Really appreciated attentiveness to our two cats, always properly cared for. All positive and we’re delighted, grateful.”

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

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.

“Thank you Emily W for looking after Alfie and Lola, everything was great when I got home.No sulking kitties so I know they've been well looked after. Also, thanks for taking the job at short notice ! Will definitely use you again x”

“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 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 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: I have experience looking after dogs of all sizes and ages, cats, guinea pigs & hamsters over the past 15 years and have loved them since I was young. I enjoy being with animals and the company that they bring and welcome any type of dog or age! I have a 2 year old Miniature Dachshund, she is calm, has been brought up around children and gets on well with all dogs she meets on her walks or through other family members/friends that have dogs. We have recently returned from 3 months travelling Europe with our dog, we fell in love and cared for many stray dogs and cats whilst we were away. Now we have returned, this means we have lots of time to dedicate to your animals. My maximum number of dogs at once would be 3. Please note I am not trained in giving your pet any medication. I have an enclosed yard for animals to play in and live very close to a field with a long walk too where dogs can be let off the lead and run around exploring new places and faces! Please let me know if there is anything I need to know about your dog eg if your dog doesn't like being around other dogs or has special requirements and then I can plan for it! I can't wait to meet your furry friends! We have just returned from 3 months travelling Europe with our dog, we fell in love and cared for many stray dogs and cats whilst we were away. Now we have returned, this means we have lots of time to dedicate to your animals. Our days are mostly taken up exploring new places and walks. I have a fenced yard which the dogs can run freely in. Dogs are welcome on furniture (to owners discretion) and I am happy to follow any rules the owners may have with their dogs.

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.
