About: I've loved dogs all my life and made it my dream job of being a walker and trainer in 2018. I am experienced with all kinds of breeds, sizes, ages and temperaments! Being my own boss and working part time, I am in and out all day and spend a lot of time at home to care for your dogs. I have a fenced garden for your dogs to run around in, as long as they get on with my two dogs and my 9 year old daughter! They will receive alot of care and attention, and as long a walk as they would like!

“Courtney was great at looking after our kittens, she came over to meet them before we needed her for the drop-in visits and seemed to know a lot about how best to handle them and care for them. She confirmed she'd done everything we'd asked and sent lots of videos and photos which was great as it was our first time leaving them. We would definitely ask Courtney to look after our kittens again, thank you!”

“Emily made us feel at ease and worry free when leaving our cats for a few weeks. She updated us on her visits and sent pictures so we could see how they were doing and put our mind at ease.”

“Helaina did two 30 minute visits to look after my Ruby. Ruby seemed to really warm to Helaina and seemed as though she had a good time. Ruby is an anxious puppy and Helaina really helped her come out of her shell a bit 😊 would definitely use Helaina again!”

About: I was born into a pet loving family with 2 rabbits, 2 chickens, 2 dogs, 5 horses and a cat. I am used to caring for animals, have had pets my whole Life but now just have a kitten called Cindy. My dog, Ralph sadly passed away a few years ago, he was a beagle who loved other dogs and my cat at the time, Rory. My sister has a young golden lab who is very energetic and bouncy and I sit him from time to time along with friends dogs', which is what made me want to join. Only available for 1 dog at a time. Not available all day everyday but as long as I know when beforehand, I can make sure I am free. I have a gated and secure garden and great walks locally. On a Friday, I am usually up and at the gym for 8am although during dog stays, I would replace this time with heading out for a walk. I work from home so regular toilet breaks, snuggles and time outside is offered throughout the day. During the evening I would go out with the dog for a long walk and have an evening in with lots of cuddles! During the weekend, I usually drive out for a long walk and a picnic so would love to have a dog for company! Your dog will be cared for as if it is my own. Ralph had complete run of the house and came everywhere with me so the same treatment would be standard. Rules are respected though so if you don’t want your dog on furniture or upstairs, I wouldn’t allow this.

About: I’m experienced in handling large dogs (any size/breed welcome) and have a deep understanding of the needs and quirks of anxious and reactive dogs and the care and patience they require through my experience with my extremely nervous rescue German Shepherd who was in very bad mental and physical condition when I adopted him. Sadly, he passed at the end of 2024 after many happy years together. Personally, I found it extremely difficult to trust others to walk or care for him during our time together so I’d like to reassure those in a similar position that I can take care of their best friend when they need it and I’ll always be as careful, understanding and vigilant as I was with my own. My garden is secure with full, well-maintained fences and walls and a padlocked gate, I have blinds on all public facing windows which can be closed if dogs are triggered by people walking by. Everyone is welcome to supply any toys, beds or anything that makes your dog feel more comfortable and of course I will stick to their usual walking schedule and dietary requirements. I live directly next to a large park which is not typically very busy and offers numerous trails from the main paths to avoid others when caring for reactive dogs. I will never let anyone’s dog off the lead during a walk (unless I have booked a secure field) and always clip leads to a strong walking belt as extra security, walk in shaded areas on hot days and carry water at all times. I mainly work from home so when boarding and pet sitting your dog will be with me all day with regular opportunities to play, go in the garden and for walks in the morning, lunch time and evening. I’m available for walks morning, lunchtime and evenings during the week and all day Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. I only care for dogs from the same household on walks and in my home unless they are friends who have already spent time together. This is for the best possible wellbeing of each dog. I’d rather provide quality and complete confidence than take on as many dogs as possible as I believe in giving them the individual care and attention they deserve with as few stressful triggers as possible. I work from home so dogs will not be left unattended or outside for prolonged periods. I only endorse the use of positive reinforcement / reward-based training and treat all dogs with respect, understanding and care tailored to their specific needs. I’m happy to discuss your requirements, answer any questions and arrange a pre-stay meet and greet if required. I have also completed a certified DBS check through my employer.

“Thanks so much for your help looking after dexter. You have taken such a great care of her ?”

“Sophie was absolutely great. She came to meet the cats before hand and managed to send us pictures of all of them while we were away. Will definitely ask Sophie to pet sit again! ?”

About: I have a unique energetic approach to pet/people care. (no in calls - only out calls) Pets and children alike, naturally love my energy. I have been a teacher for 5 years in total and parents always used to ask me how i was able to get their childs respect and attention in class! I have a unique healing energy that i can make use of at your request. I can interact with your pets history and karmic contracts and relationships, this is an extra service. Pets and children can even pick up owners hidden stresses and strains, they are designed to take on / ground energies and can get overwhelmed. This has health consequences that owners/parents are not aware of, which I will be able to explain. I've looked after houses and pets and children before, mostly for friends, and have an affinity with most animals, however i'm still gaining experience. When i stay in a property that's not my own i do feel uncomfortable enough to have respect for the house and the household items. I would probably leave it cleaner than when i came in. The home energy might be transformed as my energy often harmonises the surroundings as i also work with land and property healing. I'm working 3 days a week with a friend in Yorkshire and have the rest of my time free to heal land and pets and people ... which is basically my second income. What better place to meet passionate pet owners where my services can truly come to light. I only do pet sitting and can't offer any accomodation at my house as i'm lodging. however I know how to look after pets and command attention when needed. There should be no problems with knowing who is boss and commanding the space with love.

About: Hi there! I’m Hollie – a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and genuinely thrive when I’m spending time with them. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit, overnight pet sitting, or daily dog walks, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with care, patience, and plenty of love. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities—from a feisty Jack Russell to an energetic Newfoundland! I’m experienced in pet sitting and regular check-ins, and I’m confident in administering medication, including both oral and injectable types. Your pet’s health and routine will always be my top priority. A little more about me: I grew up with two black cats (Jack and Vera), and a relaxed tortoise named George. I also have my own horse and ride others regularly, with over 12 years of experience around horses and stable care. At my partner’s home, we have three playful Border Terriers who always keep us entertained! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I believe a home isn’t complete without them. I’m here to provide reliable, trustworthy care and to create meaningful bonds with every pet I meet. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members – feel free to get in touch with any questions or to arrange a meet and greet! ❤️🐾 I live in a two bedroom home in Thirsk with a fenced garden. I am available Mondays and Saturdays for dog sitting. And from 5pm Mon - Friday for Dog walking. Potentially available at other times and weekends on request 😊 To ensure I create a safe environment in a clients home I would ensure I stick to a schedule given by the owner which already meets the needs of there 4 legged friend! Making sure both owner and pet is comfortable of being in my home and creating a happy environment for all! All of this will be discussed prior❤️ I do meet and greets with all new clients before any house visits/boarding to ensure both owner and furry companion feel comfortable with myself. This also gives me the opportunity to talk to you more in depth about your pets requirements, quirks and personality😁

About: I’ve taken care of friends and family’s dogs, and am confident with all types of dogs ranging from a chihuahua to an American Bulldog. I have also housed cats whilst friends are on holiday. I am happy to provide walks, drop ins, house sitting or caring in my own home for dogs, cats or even any smaller pets. I am at home most of the week and work 8-4 so I am able to provide wee breaks in between those times and longer walks either side of that. My calendar has more details on my availability. I understand that all pets have different needs and I am willing to provide the time and effort needed to ensure your pets have the best possible stay whilst you’re away. I’m looking forward to meeting them! I work from home 3 days a week and I am at home most weekends. I am able to provide walks & drop ins on and mornings and evening when I’m not working and quick stops during the day. My calendar is fully up to date with my availability I have a full enclosed flat, no access to a garden but available for wee breaks and longer walks. I have no pets so perfect for nervous animals or any that come in pairs.

About: I have been a petsiitter, walker, companion for many years. I love all fur babies, recently looked after chickens too. I have a car, can work in York and surrounding areas. Will consider further afield but a minimum of one continous week. Always recommend a meetup before a booking for a cuppa and maybe a biscuit 😉 Recently retired. As i am an animal lover and experienced pet sitter for cats, dogs, chickens i can't think of a better way to spend my time. I cannot look after pets in my own home sadly. I can only offer pet sitting, Vet visits, Pop-ins for all fur babies, chickens, feeding, comforting, walking. Sadly I cannot look after reactive dogs because of past experience.

“Karolina was amazing all the way. Her helpfulness to get us out of a sticky situation to providing plenty of information about timing, for when we could drop him off. She was amazing at keeping our cat Dave active and entertained. My partner was delighted to receive plenty of pictures and videos of our happy cat playing and being swamped with attention”
