About: My first job as a teenager was walking and sitting neighborhood dogs and I’ve lived with cats, dogs and other animals my whole life. I now volunteer at a rescue and vet practice and study pet first aid too I usually work weekdays from 9-3 so all visits will be after 3. For overnights I will arrive around 3:30-4:30 and leave in the morning around 8:30. I am able to do multiple drop ins after work and depending on location I can do early morning visits too. Walks are always on afternoons unless it’s a weekend. I am a very laid back person who has a calm and approachable nature with animals. I am trained in safe handling of animals, pet first aid and have years of experience dealing with all types of pets. You can count on me to always be attentive, calm and in control.


4. Anita T.

“Anita did home visits to feed and play with our cat while whilst we went away for a week. She proved to be a very reliable cat sitter, enthusiastic about her job and making us feel our furry friend was in good hands. She would send us lots of photos and videos and text updates every day which greatly reduced our anxiety about leaving our cat at home. She was very responsive to messages. I can’t recommend her enough. Anita, once again thank you so much! We will definitely want to use your services again!”

“Matthew is a natural with pets. He is loving and caring whilst providing safe boundaries. He is experienced with looking after both dogs and cats from puppies & kittens through to older age too. He has cared for my dog and cat on numerous occasions and is my go-to pet sitter when I am planning to be away. He is trustworthy and has not let me down. I can highly recommend him.”


8. Steve H.

“Steve and Sandra were really great and our 6 year old springer Jimmy took an instant shine to them. It was great that he could also socialise with another dog, Tommy, on the walk. This service was invaluable as I needed to go to London with work at short notice and it was great peace of mind to know that Jimmy was well looked after.”


9. Chloe R.
“Chloe is a natural with animals and cares for Fred like he’s her own. She’s walked Fred since he was a puppy, and even looked after him overnight. He’s always happy to see her and definitely enjoys the post walk cuddles! If you are looking for a dog Walker or sitter, I’d highly recommend Chloe!”


10. Volodymyr M.

“I went away relaxed and confident that Volodymyr was coming in to feed my cats as arranged. We had met beforehand and he was very thorough in gaining all the information from me regarding my 2 cats. He sent me photos each day including the food eaten and what he put down for them each day. I was so grateful for him coming in on Christmas Day and Boxing Day too. Thankyou”


11. Heather T.

“Fantastic, absolute lifesaver helped me out at very short notice. Hounds loved her and I ever got a cute video which was massively reassuring having never left them with anyone but granddad before”


12. Lavinia D.
“Lavinia has a wealth of experience and knowledge when it comes to dogs of all sizes and personalities. She has helped me out on numerous occasions (sometimes last minute) with my dog and is incredibly reliable and kind. She also absolutely loves dogs and treats them as if they were her own. Her focus is not only on providing the dogs in her care with appropriate exercise but she also reinforces and continues their training. I find it hard to trust anyone with my dog but she really is one of the best!”


13. Emily H.
“Emily has looked after our dog Fozzie several times, and each time we always come home to a super happy and well cared for pup. She’s incredibly reliable, always sending us updates and photos so we can see how Fozzie is doing and gives us complete peace of mind whilst we are away. We highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a fab dog sitter!”


14. Denas K.
“Denas is a very patient, loving and responsible pet caregiver. I have seen him interact with his own dog as well as with my own pet, and I trust him completely with taking care of animals. He is a person with a very positive outlook on life and does not get phased by high-stress situations, he can be composed and take action in a crisis.”


15. Sarah H.

“Sarah has been brought up with dogs her entire life. Whilst at home she lived with rescue dogs, who were lurchers. We also had Yorkshire Terriers. Once Sarah left home, she then got her own rescue dog, Missy who was the softest Staffy ever. Missy sadly passed away before Christmas 2022. Sarah has always looked after family dogs, whilst we went on holidays. Sarah would care for other people's dogs like they were her own. Sarah has a caring and compassionate nature. And I've had no doubts in recommending Sarah to anyone who requires their dog looked after in a homely setting.”


16. Seamus B.
“Seamus is a great friend who loves dogs. I highly recommend him for his caring demeanour, patience and playful energy. I can't imagine a better carer for your best friend.”


17. Isabella N.
About: I have looked after pets all my life. When I was younger me and my dad had our down dog walking and border service! I have a range of experience between healthy and ill animals, dogs to cats to fish to horses. I am very attentive and will follow instructions well. I am also very calm and gentle and animals tend to trust me very easily I am very flexible when it comes to schedules. I am currently free both weekends and weekdays making me available for all your needs. Happy to do drop off and pick ups on an evening and weekends! I have a courtyard around the back and front of my home however this is not fenced. All animals would be kept leashed for their own security! We are very lucky to live right opposite a huge field/forest with miles and miles of walking - we also have a lovely shallow stream perfect for those who like a swim :)


18. Molly B.
About: We’ve had a dog for over 10 years and I’ve always walked her and pet sat when my parents are away, I’ve also looked after my Grandparents dog and my Uncles 2 dogs, so I have dealt with different breeds and know how to take care and give all dogs bunches of love ! I work full time 20 minutes out of Harrogate, but I am free after work for dog walks or most weekends for overnight stays, walks or check in’s. Our dog at home doesn’t have recall so we are very careful about having the gates shut etc, she is also quite temperamental with other dogs so I have always taken care with keeping her under control and knowing when she could be in a situation where she would retaliate or vice versa.


19. Nika W.
About: Hi there! My name is Nika, and I’m excited to offer loving and personalised care for your furry friends. There’s nothing better than being part of a pet’s day and making it a little brighter and more fun! Over the years, I've had the pleasure of sitting for a variety of dogs, from energetic Cockapoos to tiny Chihuahuas, each with their own unique personalities and needs. I understand that every pet has their own routine and energy level, whether it's a long walk, a play session, or simply some cuddles on the couch. I also have experience taking care of cats, and I know how to give them the attention and care they need. Whether your pet is calm and low-energy or playful and active, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility in my day to fit pet care into my routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just hanging out and keeping your pet company, I can easily find a time that works best for both of us. I love building a routine that helps pets feel happy, relaxed, and cared for. I believe in tailoring my care to the specific needs of each pet. I provide personalised care and will follow any special instructions to make sure your pet's routine is maintained. I also adjust based on what your pet requires each day—whether it's a longer walk, extra playtime, or some quiet relaxation. I aim to provide a safe, nurturing environment where your pet can feel at ease and enjoy their time with me.
