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.”

About: I'm well experienced dealing with dogs, having grown up around them. Throughout my life, I've had German shepherds, border collies, jack russells, labradors, and huskies. I currently have a young border collie called Misa. I've taken many of these dogs to obedience training classes so I have a good grasp on handling big, boisterous dogs! Misa and I go for 2 or 3 walks per day, your dog is welcome to come along with Misa or be walked individually. I live close to a number of parks, plus a short drive from Roundhay Park for those longer walks. I work from home so I'm always around and your dog will never be left alone for long. I also have a fully enclosed back garden that your dog will have access to. I'm familiar with medication administration, including tablets, oral liquids, ear drops and eye drops, so I can keep on top of your pet's medication if needed. Whenever I need to leave the house, I leave the dogs in a room which is monitored by video & audio. I receive a notification whenever noise is detected and I can actively monitor the dogs by video to make sure they are OK. Their room is also kitted with a calming diffuser made for pets, toys and water. Rest assured that your pet will be well cared for and well loved in our home! I work full-time from home, going for dog walks in the morning, evening, and midday. Your dog is welcome to come along with my dog, Misa, or you can opt for individual walks. I have a fully enclosed (walled) garden, so your dog will be completely safe and secure when outside. I can accommodate special diets and medication regimes. My dog is petite and submissive. She loves to play but is happy to relax if that's what the vibe calls for! Dogs are allowed on the sofas and beds in my house and I'm happy to give them a wash if they get particularly muddy!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have always had a passion for animals. Having grown up around dogs and cared for my own, I have developed a strong understanding of their needs, routines, and behaviours. I am home full-time and available seven days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I have my own Lhasa Apso called Romeo, who I walk twice a day, so I understand the importance of regular exercise, mental stimulation, and companionship. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, shorter strolls, playtime, or simply having company, I am happy to tailor my care to their individual needs.

“Highly recommend Ryan and will definitely use him again. Great communication throughout and went the extra mile to make sure my dog, Nala was looked after and happy while I was away. Thanks again Ryan, great job mate 👍🏻”

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 am a passionate animal lover and Zoology graduate from the University of Bristol (2:1), currently working as a Veterinary Care Assistant. I have experience caring for a wide range of animals and understand the importance of providing safe, compassionate care while giving owners peace of mind. I previously worked in a kennel and cattery, where I cared for dogs, cats, and small animals. My responsibilities included feeding pets according to their dietary requirements, administering medication, walking dogs, maintaining clean living spaces, and communicating with owners to ensure each pet's needs were met. This experience taught me how to help animals feel comfortable and secure while away from home. I also spent two years volunteering at a riding school for people with disabilities, where I cared for horses and supported therapeutic riding sessions. This role helped me develop patience, confidence, and a deeper understanding of the positive impact animals can have on people's wellbeing. Whether your pet needs walks, companionship, medication, or overnight care, I will treat them with the same love, attention, and respect that I would give my own. I am based in both Leeds and Bristol. During the school term I am a university student at Bristol Uni and during the holidays I am in Leeds. During the holidays I am fully flexible and can work any time of day or night. During the school term I am available in the evenings and night and fully flexible during the weekends as well as some holidays which I will be in Bristol for. During dog walks, pet visiting and house sitting I would gladly keep you updated with pictures and videos of your pets! During dog walks I would keep a very close eye on your dog and can provide on or off leash dog walks which ever you prefer. While pet visiting and house sitting I would follow all your instructions as well as lots of cuddles and treats for your lovely pets!

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!

About: I’ve had 2 Shih Tzu over my life time which I’ve trained since they were pups,I understand that dogs can often be a important member of the family from experience,I have experienced handling bigger dogs and playing with them but unfortunately until now i have not had the opportunity to have one. I’m currently in education from 9-4 every week day however after 5 I’m more then gladly be available so I'll have plenty of time to play with your dogs! And I'm available for boarding at weekends. I have spaces room for them to chill and eat,don’t have a garden but hopefully able to take them to the park which is down the road💪😁

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.

About: As a proud Cavapoo owner myself, I understand the unique needs of smaller breeds as well as large dogs. I’m experienced in walking, sitting, feeding, and providing special care for senior dogs and puppies alike. What sets me apart is my genuine passion for dogs combined with my reliable, attentive, and patient approach. I’m committed to giving every dog a safe, happy, and stimulating experience, tailored to their personality and needs. Being a health newly first-class degree graduate, I bring strong responsibility and dedication to every job, ensuring your furry friend is in caring and capable hands. I always balanced my time with a strong commitment to pet care, making time daily for walks, play, and attention. I am about to start a new position at York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Working from 8-4 Monday to Friday. I will be able to attend to your pooch before and after my working hours. Living at home means I’ll have a calm, pet-friendly environment and plenty of time to dedicate to dogs’ needs, whether that’s long walks, feeding, grooming, or just lots of cuddles. Being health and fitness-focused, I love staying active with dogs on daily walks, ensuring they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need. With over 8 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, including puppies and senior dogs. I’m confident I can provide reliable, patient, and loving care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I have a friendly, spayed Cavapoo named Pepa who loves meeting new dogs and is very gentle and social. At my home, I create a calm, secure, and dog-friendly environment where your pet can feel relaxed and cared for. We have a fully secure garden with a fenced yard, providing a safe outdoor space for dogs to play and explore. Plus, we live opposite a secure field, perfect for long, safe walks and exercise. Pepa helps provide friendly company and a positive atmosphere for all dogs in my care. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I prioritise safety by carefully following your instructions and maintaining familiar routines to reduce stress. I ensure the environment is secure, checking doors, gates, and any hazards, so your dog stays safe while comfortable. I’m attentive to your pet’s needs, whether that means creating quiet spaces for rest or engaging areas for play. 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: 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 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 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.

“Claire was fab! Listened to our pets individual needs and provided good updates with photos through the app. We felt really assured Coco was in good hands and we came home to a happy and relaxed cat.”

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. I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away 🐾 Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I currently work part-time from home which gives me plenty of flexibility to give pets attention, playtime, and company. I’m available for boarding, walks, drop-ins, and sitting any time. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a spacious, calm flat with a garden and no carpets, making it ideal for pets. I don’t have any other animals in the home, so your pet will have my full attention. I always follow owners’ routines closely, keep environments clean and secure, and provide regular updates for peace of mind.

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 :)
