Pet Boarding Helmsley

“Vanessa was fantastic. Luna had a great time with her and her little family. Lots of updates and pictures, and made sure Luna felt fully at home away from home. Brill service!”

“Angelina is absolutely fantastic and I could not recommend her more highly! She accommodated a very last minute request and was so helpful. Betty absolutely loved staying and was very comfortable around Angelina so we will definitely be booking again. Thank you!”

“Eva has looked after Suki two weeks in a row, for overnight stays. Suki was so excited seeing Eva for the second time which to me, indicates she had a good time. Eva shared pictures through the stay!”

“We booked on Rover as our usual sitter was away, I was apprehensive as they hadn’t been left with people we didn’t know. Leanne and Daniel are BIG dog lovers, after booking we did a meet and great, Mabel and Baxter were relaxed and happy as soon as they arrived at their house which left us feeling so much better about leaving them. We were away for 10 days and got daily updates, photos and videos of their holiday adventures. We would recommend Leanne and Daniel to anyone who needs a dog sitter, they were very well looked after and happy.”

“Raymond and Jo took such great care of Olaf for 4 nights, we are really grateful. We aren’t from the area but needed somewhere for Olaf to stay while we were on a break nearby. Reading the lovely reviews by others, we felt this would be a good choice and we were right! Ray kept us regularly updated every day, sent lovely pictures, and asked lots of good questions to ensure Olaf would have everything he needed. Olaf seems relaxed and happy and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again if we are in the area. Thank you so much.”

“Wendy is very caring with Frankie as he is a needy dog. He is very relaxed with Wendy which is good to know. Wendy sends us photos so we can see Frankie in her care and he always looks happy.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by all kinds of animals, from cats and dogs to chickens, horses, and even a rescue fawn! Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. Over the past few years, I’ve had the opportunity to travel the world, including spending time in New Zealand where I was fortunate enough to house-sit and care for some wonderful dogs. I’ve also built up experience through TrustedHousesitters, looking after pets in their own homes and making sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m very happy to provide references from my TrustedHousesitters stays if you’d like to hear about my experience from previous pet owners. Now that I’m back in the UK and settled in York, I’d love to continue doing what I enjoy and help care for your pets. While I’m not currently able to have a dog of my own, this gives me the perfect opportunity to enjoy plenty of walks, playtime and cuddles with yours! I’ll always treat your pets as if they were my own, taking the time to understand their individual personalities, routines and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks and adventures, a good game of fetch, or simply curling up on the sofa for some company, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, comfortable and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to leave your pet in someone you can trust, and I’ll do everything I can to give you peace of mind while they’re in my care. I’m primarily available for house-sitting and dog walks at weekends, as I work full-time during the week. Depending on the location, I may also be able to offer midday dog walks during the week, so please feel free to get in touch and I can see what might work. I’d also be happy to consider boarding, although as I live in a flat, this would depend on the size, temperament and individual needs of your pet. I’m always happy to have a chat beforehand to make sure I can provide a comfortable and suitable environment for them. I live in a flat in the city centre, and although I don’t have a garden, I’m a very outdoorsy person and love getting out for walks. I’m often down by the river exploring the local area, usually with a coffee stop at one of the many lovely cafés along the way — so there’s no shortage of opportunities for walks and adventures! When house-sitting, I’m very happy to follow your usual routines and instructions closely. I know every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to understand their individual needs and make sure they feel comfortable, happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“We felt completely happy leaving Roxy with Nathan. She is quite strong and can get a bit over excited as she's only 1yr old but Nathan handled her really well and got her calm and settled. We had regular updates and pics and he always consulted us before doing anything he was unsure of with her. Would definitely leave Roxy with him again.”

“Callie had a great time with Michelle and Andy. She's been with them twice and already gets excited when we pull up in the car! They were really flexible when I needed to extend the time I had booked a couple of days beforehand. I wouldn't to hesitate to book with them again and fully intend to.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for most of my life. Growing up, my family had a female Pomeranian who was with us for over 10 years, followed by a female Husky. Caring for them gave me experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities. Now I live with my partner and our spayed female Cockapoo, Loopy. Looking after her has taught me the importance of understanding each dog’s individual needs, routine and personality. I’ve also looked after friends’ dogs, including a large Old English Sheepdog, whom I bathed and cared for, as well as several Cockapoos. One of my friend’s Cockapoos even stayed overnight in our home for a week, so I’m experienced in helping dogs settle into a new environment and feel comfortable. I genuinely love spending time with dogs. I enjoy taking them for walks, visiting parks and going on countryside walks together. I always pay close attention to their behaviour, comfort and wellbeing, and I’ll care for your dog with the same love and attention that I give my own. As a freelancer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give dogs plenty of time, attention and companionship throughout the day. Caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily life, as I share my home with my partner and our lovely Cockapoo, Loopy. As a Cockapoo owner myself, I understand the energy, affection and attention this breed needs, and I’m always happy to adapt to each dog’s own routine and personality. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime or simply relaxing with people, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved and at home. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness will always come first. I have a friendly, spayed female Cockapoo who enjoys the company of other dogs. I introduce dogs gradually and never leave them together unsupervised until I’m confident they’re comfortable with each other. I’ll carefully follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, medication (if needed) and any special instructions. Every dog is different, so I take the time to understand their personality and make sure they feel relaxed and secure. My goal is for your dog to enjoy their stay just as much as you enjoy your time away.

“Charlie stayed overnight with Katherine and I am grateful of the care he received. He was happy and relaxed when I picked him up and I know he was in good hands”

“We were so happy with our decision to have Gregory board with Jennifer and her family. Shortly after making the booking, Jennifer reached out and we planned a short pre-meet before so that Gregory and her lovely dog Coco could meet, and we could share some information about them both. It was clear immediately that Jennifer and her family very much cared about making sure Gregory was going to have a comfortable stay with them, and he definitely did. During the boarding, Jennifer kept us updated with pictures of Gregory doing all his favourite things and he looked to be having an absolute splendid time, seemingly as comfortable as he would be in his own home! We will definitely be asking Jennifer to look after Gregory again in the future! 5 stars.”

“Finlay couldn’t have been more helpful, looking after Lulu at short notice and welcoming her into his home. Super in all respects, would absolutely use again.”

Sarah W.

“Cariana was very understanding and helpful for Tsubasa’s needs and he had a wonderful first day care session with her. She is such a lovely person that we felt safe and happy to ask anything we wanted. We will definitely recommend her to anyone and we’re sure that Tsubasa would love to see her and Lucy again!”

Miki B.

“What can I say? Rasa was amazing from the initial engagement all throughout the time my boys stayed with her. Starting with a new dog sitter and boarding for the first time can be unnerving. Rasa comforted me from the get-go by sending pictures of their time with her. They have an amazing environment, and the boys thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We'll definitely be using Rasa again.”

Craig A.

“Absolutely brilliant and will use again. My dog was just treated like one of the family which is all you can ask for. She had the best holiday, which meant we had a the best time knowing she was being looked after and having a great time. The whole process was easy and relaxed, I couldn’t recommend more.”

Nadia S.

“Our first time using Rover as our usual kennels mixed up our booking and left us needing to find somewhere at short notice. After drawing a blank at all nearby kennels, I gave Rover a try. Was simple to use and we were quickly matched with Jo. She arranged a pre-meet to get to know our dog and see if we were comfortable. She asked loads of great questions to make sure she knew all about our dog's needs and habits. We went ahead with the booking and Jo was superb - kept us up to date with photos, videos and details of what they'd been up to. Really helped set our mind at rest! Would highly recommend!!!”

Matt G.

“Amanda is amazing!! From the very first contact I knew my boy would be well looked after. Amanda is genuinely a lovely person. As soon as we met you could see the love she has for dogs. Oreo settled really easily and I received lots of videos and pictures. I highly rate Amanda and will definitely be using again”

Jack L.

“Martha was happy with Hollie which meant we could have a lovely relaxed weekend at a family wedding. She sent regular updates which reassured us that she was well looked after.”

Hazel W.

“From the moment i dropped Oscar off he was met with cuddles. It was a home from home and Oscar settled in really quickly. I got lots of pictures/videos and updates on how Oscar was doing. I will definitely be taking him here again when we go away.”
