Pet Sitting Fulford

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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”

“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!”

“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 :)”

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. 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.

About: As a lifelong animal lover I started caring for dogs at age 15 when a new neighbour moved in with a beautiful black staffy. Since then I've taken any opportunity I can to walk and care for dogs. Through travel I've had the opportunity to look after dogs in various places and enjoy the companionship and home like feel that furry friends offer. From walks in nature, play sessions, and caring for their needs, every interaction I have with dogs is filled with care and attention. I've cared for dogs through their highs and lows, nurturing them back to health after surgeries and offering love and joy. I understand the reliability and trust needed when finding someone to care for your dog. I am DBS checked (certificate available to see upon request) and I offer a flexible approach and an attentive nature. I work from home and plan my own work schedule so I can be very flexible and always present when walking or caring for your pet. I have a fenced garden that's completely secure. I also have plenty of space and home comforts inside for your pet to play, lounge, sleep, or eat.

“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: 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.

“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 💚”

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.

About: I love dogs and cats. From childhood, both myself and my husband have always had them as pets and our home would not be complete without one! We enjoy their companionship and caring for them, which we have many years of experience and we are trustworthy and reliable. We have a calm and relaxed home with a secure garden and have lots of lovely walks from our doorstep. Our pets are well socialised and accepting and we are all very much looking forward to welcoming your beloved pet into our home! I am at home during the day and at weekends and always make sure I take care of my own pets needs and so I would do exactly the same with all dogs that are staying with us. I would ensure I followed the owner’s instructions and I would keep them updated. I would keep a good routine, with feeding, making sure their pets food is fresh in clean bowls with access to fresh water. I would exercise them to suit their needs. I am happy to bathe, brush, clean teeth if they allow but I do not clip nails. I would give medication according to owner’s instructions. I would ensure harnesses, leads are secure before leaving on a walk and car restraints are secured before transporting. Pets are allowed on our chairs and sofas and beds and I would like them to feel safe, relaxed and comfortable. I can crate if required. I would give positive praise and attention, helping your pet to feel at home and relaxed as possible while staying with us.

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.

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'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'm currently a student, so have lots of time within the week for visits, and very flexible for overnight stays. Whether you're heading on a weekend, day trip or full holiday, I'd love to help out! 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.

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: Hi, I’m Ellen, and I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life. For years I’ve been entrusted to walk dogs belonging to friends, family and paying customers, and to do drop-in visits for pets. I also walk and care for my own two dogs, Bella and Wilby, on a daily basis. In 2021 I also had the wonderful experience of raising Bella’s litter of 5 puppies in my family home, from their birth right up until they moved in with their new families (apart from Wilby who we decided to keep!). Wilby is an anxious dog and doesn’t get on well with other dogs, so I’m experienced in walking particularly difficult and antisocial dogs. I’m currently a university student, so my pet care fits around my university schedule. I’m available during the early mornings and the evenings, and my availability varies during working hours, but I’ll always be able to make time for your pet. I’m also available throughout the day on Saturdays and Sundays. Whilst on walks, I prefer to stick to green areas rather than roads for both the safety and enjoyment of your pup. I also shower them with all the pets and attention that they could want.

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 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.
