House Sitting Hambleton

About: The Pawfect Getaway. I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs as part of my own family. Over the years I’ve shared my home with working Cocker Spaniels, Springer Spaniels and Labradors, so I’m very familiar with both energetic breeds and those who enjoy a steadier pace as they mature. Living with dogs has taught me the importance of consistency, patience and understanding each dog’s individual personality. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, enrichment, and quiet companionship — not just exercise, but genuine care and presence. I also have experience administering medication, including tablets and routine treatments, and I’m happy to follow clear instructions to ensure your dog’s health needs are met properly and calmly. What Sets Me Apart Your dog would be cared for in my own home, not a kennel or busy multi-dog environment. I offer one-to-one care, meaning your dog gets my full attention and is treated as an individual, not part of a crowd. I take time to understand and maintain your dog’s existing routines — feeding times, walks, sleeping arrangements and any special habits — so they feel settled and secure while you’re away. Familiar routines make a world of difference to a dog’s happiness and wellbeing. I provide a quiet, relaxed, home-from-home environment, ideal for dogs who prefer calm company, personal attention, and a predictable day. My aim is always that your dog feels safe, comfortable and genuinely cared for — and that you can enjoy your time away with real peace of mind. Pet care fits very comfortably into my daily routine as I am retired and at home all day. This means your dog will have constant companionship and supervision, rather than being left alone for long periods. I’m able to structure my day around your dog’s usual routine, including regular walks, feeding times, medication if required, play, and plenty of rest. Being at home allows me to give unhurried, one-to-one attention, respond quickly to your dog’s needs, and provide reassurance throughout the day. Whether your dog enjoys activity or prefers a quieter pace, I can adapt the day to suit them while keeping things familiar and calm. My aim is to offer a consistent, home-from-home experience, so your dog feels settled, secure, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I care for pets in a calm, structured, and attentive way, always treating them as individuals. When caring for dogs in my own home, I provide a safe, relaxed, home-from-home environment with plenty of supervision and one-to-one attention. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, maintaining established routines for feeding, walks, rest, play, and medication, as consistency is key to helping dogs feel secure. I take time to understand a pet’s personality, preferences, and any health or behavioural needs. I’m experienced with energetic breeds as well as dogs who prefer a quieter pace, and I adapt care accordingly. I ensure dogs are never left for long periods and always have companionship, comfort, and reassurance. When caring for pets in my home, I respect and follow the same careful approach — sticking closely to the pet’s normal routine, keeping their environment familiar, and providing calm, dependable care. My priority in every situation is the pet’s wellbeing, comfort, and safety, and giving owners genuine peace of mind while they’re away.

About: Hello 👋 I am Ruth, 34 and have a 9 year old mix Pip. She is a rescue and through endless love and training she has blossomed over the years from a nervous, shy, quivering pup into a friendly, confident and loving dog. She is in excellent health for her age and loves nothing more than to zoom around a field! I have trained 3 of my own dogs and believe in a loving, positive approach with sensible boundaries. I am extremely active so your dog will get plenty of exercise! I have experience with dogs from 12 weeks to senior. I am self-employed so have plenty of time to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I am very flexible and can work around you and your furry friend as I can't work from anywhere at any time. I have my lovely Pip to keep your pet company and lots of play and socialisation. I can walk, spend time with or care for your pet in your home. I am clean, tidy, respectful and trustworthy. I am keen on animal health and feeding a good diet and plenty of exercise, with constant access to water and regular toilet breaks.

“Couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after my dog! She was so good with him so knowledgeable with him being quite scared of dogs and high prey drive! Treat him like her own and I was so happy while I was away knowing he was so well looked after 🤍🐾”

“Courtney came to sit for us at short notice and she was amazing . Our poodle can be very shy however she liked Courtney straight away because of her calm confidence. Courtney took her for several walks throughout the day and sent us some photos to show Super having a relaxing day. I felt very comfortable leaving Super and would definitely contact Courtney again and throughly recommend her. Courtney was kind,,calm and knowledgeable of dogs, she was lovely with us on a busy morning getting ready for our son’s wedding ! Thank you Courtney - Super was very lucky to have you with her for the day .”

“We had the pleasure of having Tim come over to look after our puppy, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience! From the moment he arrived, Tim was incredibly friendly and approachable. He took the time to listen to all the information we shared about our puppy's routine and needs, which immediately put us at ease. Throughout the day, Tim kept in touch with us, providing regular updates and photos that reassured us our furry friend was in great hands. It was clear he genuinely cared about our puppy's well-being, and his attentiveness made a significant difference in our peace of mind while we weren’t there. . We highly recommend Tim to anyone in need of a pet sitter. His professionalism and warmth truly made the day enjoyable for both us and our little one. We will definitely be reaching out to him again in the future if he is happy to come back.”

About: As a devoted pet sitter, my motivation stems from a deep-rooted love for dogs and a genuine enjoyment in caring for animals. My journey into pet sitting began organically as I found myself frequently looking after friends' and family members' dogs, as well as other animals, while they were away on holidays. This experience has not only enriched my life with countless wagging tails and warm nuzzles but has also instilled in me a sense of responsibility and understanding of the trust pet owners place in a sitter. I take pride in providing a service that goes beyond mere supervision. To me, pet sitting is about creating a bond with each animal, ensuring they feel loved, secure, and engaged in the absence of their owners. Whether it's maintaining their daily routines, providing stimulating playtime, or just being a comforting presence, my goal is to ensure that every pet is happy and healthy under my care. My services are tailored to each pet's individual needs, and I am committed to upholding the highest standards of care. With my experience and passion for pet sitting, I am confident in my ability to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your furry friends. I am presently engaged in a part-time job that allows me the flexibility to work remotely, which means that my schedule is quite adaptable. Consequently, I will have an abundance of time available to devote to the care and attention of your pets, ensuring they receive the best possible care during your absence. I live in a quiet area away from busy roads, surrounded by nature. Our back garden has a fence all around, so it's safe for animals. We've turned a small room in the garden into a cozy space for dogs, with plenty of spots for them to sleep.

“Madison was incredible! Left the house spotless and really clean, even though it was a very wet few days, the wet dog could have made everything soaking. Most importantly my dog absolutely loved her and had a brilliant time. Would highly highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter!”

About: Fully Insured Pet Sitter & Cleaner with a Clean Enhanced DBS Hi, my name is Stacy. I'm 40 years old and a proud mum to two amazing sons, Mason (21) and Zach (18). My son Mason lives in York and I'm looking to do a paid petsit whilst also spending some time with him/his partner. Over the past 12 months, I've been caring for pets and homes across the UK and overseas. What started as a way to experience new places soon became something I genuinely fell in love with. There's nothing more rewarding than giving pet owners peace of mind while ensuring their beloved animals are happy, safe, and well cared for in their own environment. As a result, I recently launched my business, Homes & Pets, offering reliable pet sitting services alongside Home Reset support for people who may be feeling overwhelmed by household tasks, life changes, busy schedules, or simply need an extra pair of hands to get their home back on track. I am fully insured, hold a clean Enhanced DBS certificate, and take great pride in being trustworthy, caring, and respectful of both people's homes and their pets. Whether you're heading away on holiday, need someone to care for your pets, or would like support creating a calmer, more organised living space, I'd love to help. I am a 40 year old Mum to Mason (21) and Zach (18). I am looking for a cat sit in York as a way to see my son Mason and his lovely partner, Saffire. I'm a fully insured petsitter with an enhanced DBS. My son Mason lives in York for Uni. I was recently made redundant and so visiting him has proven difficult. I am looking for low maintenance cat sits so that I can explore, and if possible, where my son and his partner can come for dinner in the evenings. I have been petsitting around the UK and overseas for the last 18 months as a way to travel. I am happy to share my DBS check and my insurance details for your reassurance. I will take care of your home as if it was my own and give updates as regularly as you wish. My only request is that there are no cameras inside the home as I personally find this intrusive. of course, outdoor cameras are no problem. I am reliable, responsible and an excellent communicator.

“Tamara was wonderful with Maude. I came home to a happy healthy pup who had blatantly had the best time with this lovely calm and confident young lady. Thank you so so much Tamara and I would highly recommend her to anyone in the area she’s a gem !”

About: I have over 5 years experience looking after my family dogs, Hugo and Finn, as well as looking after family friend’s dogs, cats and bunnies when they are on holiday. I absolutely adore caring for pets and would love to share my passion with you I work from home flexibly so I am available most days to care for your pets and to walk them / take them outdoors whenever they need. I live in a house with a gated garden and security is a priority for me. I am patient and caring with all furry friends, no matter their personality.

“Olivia was fantastic with our two boys. She took the time to come and visit them before the booking and asked loads of questions to make sure she was able to care for them the best she could. Olivia stayed in contact throughout giving us updates on the boys. She ensured both boys went on walks even though one of them is tricky on a lead and can be reactive. They both seemed to love her partner. I would definitely book again!”

“Leah personality matched very well my little cutie. Benny is very selective and introverted but he followed her when she left, he really didn’t want to see her go.”
