Dog Sitting Harewood

“As always Sophie was amazing with our cat. It’s such a comfort to know he’s well loved and looked after in his own surrounds and the video and photo updates are great.”

Sam V.

“Brilliant sitter! My cats Lei-Lei and Guo Guo were happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I got regular photo updates and came home to everything spotless. You can tell they really love cats — highly recommend!”

About: I have always had cats growing up. I currently have my own called Milo who is a very loving clingy cat. I have done dog sitting for family members while they are on holiday. I have a lot of experience with both cats and dogs. This is my full time job so I am available anytime and anyday. I will respond to you within the hour and answer any questions you may have. I have a cat bed in my bedroom for my cat Milo and loads of cat toys that he loves! I have a cat flap on my front door so he can go in and out as he pleases.

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends dogs ever since I have been able to and still regularly return back home to Nottinghamshire to continue to do so! I have always had a passion for animal care so throughout secondary school I volunteered at a local boarding kennel where I was then offered a weekend job for around a year until I left school. I have also gained so much experience caring for animals within a wide variety of veterinary practices, as growing up this was my desired career path. After school I attended the royal veterinary college in London where I studied animal health science and gained lots of hands on experience caring for a wide variety of animals through world class education. My animal care background means that I am fully confident in my ability to go above and beyond in providing the absolute best care for your pets. I’m currently working in Leeds as an animal technician at the university of Leeds and as a rent a flat I’m not able to have my own pet which I’m really missing at the minute. I would absolutely treat your pet as if it were my own and would ensure that everything you ask for in terms of their care I would provide! My current working hours are 8am until 4pm so I would be available after this on weekdays. I have an hours lunch at around 12pm so would be available for a quick visit if it was nearby to my work (Tadcaster). I’m also fully available on the weekends as long as I know in advance to make myself free. At the moment the flat that I live in doesn’t allow pets so I can only offer pet walking or looking after your pet in your home. I take caring for your pets extremely seriously and would use my animal care based knowledge to provide the absolute best care for your pets. I’m a big fan of engaging in breed specific enrichment; my family have a black Labrador who loves to sniff out treats around the garden or play find it if I hide her ball somewhere. I really feel as though activities like these can stimulate your pets and tire them out even more in addition to daily walks, so I’d be happy to include these in my services!

“After meeting Claire I was confident that she would get on with Bobby really well and, she took great care of him during the 10 days I was away. Getting a photo or two each day and the regular updates on how he was doing that day was brilliant. Claire also checked with me about his eating habits during the week to make sure he was eating normally. I would definitely recommend Claire to anyone else looking for a cat sitter. Thanks again!”

About: I had a cavalier kings charles spaniel for 10 years who I trained, looked after and loved immensely. All my family and friends have dogs of all breeds and ages who I have looked after many a time so very familiar with being around dogs. I have pet sat and dog walked in Australia and England over the last few years. I have recently returned to England from 2 years in Australia, so my schedule is pretty clear. Excited to look after your dogs weekdays, weekends and evenings :) I have a fenced garden at my family house, will take on board instructions provided to me by owners ensuring the safety of your pet is a constant priority.

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a child. I have had a Cane Corso and a French Bulldog. I am extremely responsible and treat all dogs I sit as my own. In the past year I took full time care of a French bulldog whilst his owner was at work. This included looking after him 7am - 5pm involving everything from feeding, walkies, playtime to bathing, brushing and sleepovers. My schedule is flexible as I work from home most of the week. I can also sit during the weekends, overnight or do stays when you go on a holiday. I always ensure maximum safety for my dogs. Depending on their personality, I remove objects they might chew / eat. I have them on the lead unless it is safe for them to be off and you give me prior permission. I ensure they have access to water at all times. I do not leave them alone at any time to ensure they are safe and are well taken care of.

About: I'm currently a student Occupational Therapist who is really missing my family's pets while I'm at uni! 🐾 I love animals and know how important they are as valued members of the family! As a teenager I volunteered for the Cats Protection League and would clean litter trays for people in my local area who couldn't do so themselves. I would often dogsit for neighbours, and have even looked after someone's pet frogs before! 🐾 I adapt to whatever style of care your pet needs - some pets value calm and slow paced interactions, and some pets seem to have unlimited amounts of energy! My goal is to keep your pet happy in a style that is closest to their normal. 🐾 I am a very clean person, who will send regular updates via text and video. I have a fully enhanced DBS, and solid references :) 🐾 It's currently the summer holidays at University, so my schedule is completely flexible! I am doing a lot of studying at the moment, which can be done with your pet if they need extra company or supervision 🤓📖 I volunteer at my local community garden for a few hours a week, but this is flexible. I'll happily send update videos and pictures, and will always make sure you know what's going on. I understand that pets feel upset when their family leave for a trip, so I try to make the experience a positive one!

About: I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. While I don’t currently have pets of my own I miss having animals around and love giving them plenty of care, attention, and affection. I work from home which means I’m flexible and able to spend quality time with your pet throughout the day. I’m also a keen walker, so dogs will get plenty of fresh air, exercise, and stimulation. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly flat with access to a secure fenced garden, no carpets, and no other pets, so your cat or dog will have my full focus in a calm, safe environment.

About: Dogs always had an affinity for me as a child (my sister tells me it must be how I smell??) We had cats growing up so could never own a dog, however I always volunteered to walk my neighbour, cousin and auntie's dogs (spaniel, akita, labradoodle) as I loved being around them as they calm me. I love to learn a dog's personality but understand the vigilance and caution a dog walker needs to have as animals can be unpredictable. I currently work full-time from 9-6, but am available in the early mornings or evenings for busy pooch owners. Weekends are fully open for me. I will always talk to a dog owner about their pet's needs. This includes dietary restrictions, health conditions, personality or behavioural factors, and anything else that's vital to keeping a dog safe and content.

About: I have worked full time as a junior canine carer - I would look after, alongside my colleagues up to 60 dogs at a time. I have been trained to walk 6 dogs at a time and look after all breeds and sizes. At the time I was taught about dogs behaviour and how they react together. I genuinely love looking after dogs and if it weren’t for Uni I would carry on pursuing a career in dogs. As I am a uni student it fits quite perfectly into my daily routine. I recently got a certified ESA (puppy) who is well behaved and very friendly. I have more availability than I ever had. In terms of caring for pets in an owners home, I will respect the wishes provided by the owner and understand the boundaries within the home.

Pepa helps provide friendly company and a positive atmosphere for all dogs in my care.

Trust is key, and I always communicate openly with owners to keep you updated and confident that your pet is in loving, responsible hands.

About: From the age of 5 I had always been around large dogs as my Grandma used to breed and show Dogue de Bordeaux’s. I would help deliver puppies and care for them until they were ready for their new homes. I have since had my own dog which I rescued, so I have had experience with puppies, rescue and senior pets. I currently own a bearded dragon & a ferret so I have a lot of knowledge on smaller animals and reptiles. I currently work with animals and love to be around them all day. I would love to continue to look after others pets outside of work after around 3pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. I have my own transport, own car seat covers, pet seat belts, own accessories and small pet carriers. I’m happy to accommodate any requirements :)

About: I have grown up with dogs, cats, horses & chickens and have extensive experience looking after other people’s pets. I have always had big rescue dogs but I am a lover of all dogs. I love to be out on big walks if the dog is up to it, but I am also happy to chill at home and give plenty of cuddles. I work from home so can fit pet care into my daily routine. On a weekend I am usually out walking so happy to take any dogs with me. I will care for the pet in a way that myself & the owner have agreed is suitable. I always have the animals best interest at heart.
