House Sitting Holmfirth

“Torrie was communicative right from the initial contact and kept me updated with daily messages about our two cats throughout the week we were away. The cats clearly thrived in her company! We came home to a clean, tidy house and, most importantly, two very happy cats. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“Fantastic dog sitting from Emma. We have never left Ralph before and Emma made sure our minds were at ease and Ralph was definitely looked after through out! He loved her! Emma even sent photo updates. Will definitely book in with Emma again soon, Thank you!”

“From the very start, Jodie was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. Pepper was relaxed and happy when I returned, which says everything. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, it put my mind at ease knowing Pepper was in such good hands. It’s clear Jodie truly understands and love cats, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again or recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter.”

“Emily recently stayed at our home to care for our cat and a new kitten. She did a wonderful job looking after them, was very respectful, and left the house clean and tidy. We really appreciate her care and would happily recommend her!”

“Absolutely fantastic! Contacted Helena very last minute after being let down and she was amazing. My mum never gets to leave the house with her needy doggo but he didn’t even miss us one bit. My mum got to spend the day with her grandson who lives in London. Something she rarely gets to do. Brilliant sitter and all the updates put an anxious owner at massive ease. Thank you so much!”

About: I am a friendly, kind animal lover, who has had dogs and cats most of her life, I have experience with birds, fish and reptiles. I’ve recently returned back to the UK after travelling through Asia and Oceania doing house and pet sits along the way. I understand how precious your little family member is and how important it is they’re looked after by someone you can trust!! I have experience in administering medicine, walking and looking after a variety breed of dogs. I have 100% 5 star reviews on Trusted Housesitters. Any questions please message me :) I prefer to book sits only 2/3 weeks in advance. I am extremely flexible as I am self employed, I like to work with the owner on their schedule. We would meet up prior so that everyone is comfortable with the arrangements. I offer to look after your pets in their own environment or if needed, to be walked. This can be something to discuss together applicable.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I provide a safe, calm and caring environment where your dog will be taken good care of. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime and cuddles, while sticking to their usual routine as closely as possible. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet, so I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages throughout their stay. Whether your dog is energetic and loves adventures or prefers a quiet day relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable and well cared for until they’re back home with you. I have a flexible schedule and WFH during the week and off work on weekends so your dog will receive plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding or just relaxing together, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I have a secure, fully fenced garden where they can safely enjoy time outside, along with a clean, calm home. As I don’t have any pets of my own, your dog will have my full attention during their stay. I’ll follow their usual routine for feeding, walks and any medication if needed, and I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends for a few years now and even helped my roommate raise her kitten including flee treatment and litter training. I’ve had experience pet sitting for multiple pets at once both cats and dogs and overall love spending time with and taking care of cats and dogs alike. I am currently a uni student. I have full time availability, from Monday to Sunday, days and nights until October for the summer holidays where I will be back to part time availability I have stayed overnight at friend’s houses before to pet sit for both cats and dogs. Keeping an eye on multiple pets at a time and making sure they were well fed and entertained and being able to multitask responsibilities such as dog walking whilst making sure the cat was safe at home whilst we were out. I also have experience helping my roommate raise her kitten and keeping him company whilst my roommate was out including feeding him, cleaning out the litter tray or just playing with him so he had some company.

About: I have lived with dogs my whole life. Having experience with a variety of breeds incl. Shar-Pei, Doberman Pincher, Jack Russell, Welsh Terrier, English Bulldog, Chihuahua and many Heinz 57 breeds. I understand that different breeds have different needs and I am particularly knowledgable around bull breeds and brachycephalic breeds. I am confident with all dogs, including reactive dogs and understand the importance of training and using a consistent approach. I have a genuine love of dogs and will provide a safe, loving environment that feels like home from home to them. You can be assured that your beloved pet will receive the highest quality of care and that all their needs will be met. I will provide regular updates, photos and videos. I am able to administer medication. Feel free to contact me with any questions. I am available to care for pets anytime between Friday evenings through to Monday evenings for boarding. I am also available for dog walks and dog sitting on any evening from 5pm to 11pm. I have a large fenced garden to keep your pet safe. I allow pets on the settees and the bed unless asked not to do so. I am happy to follow any instructions from the owner and can provide a crate if required. I tailor the walks to the needs of your pet and will use the commands that you instruct, to maintain consistency in training.

“I always feel so confident leaving Pepper to go on holiday when Laura is taking care of her. Pepper is an anxious cat but seems to settle so quickly with Laura which makes me feel at ease. Laura provides lots of updates and photos, Highly recommend.”

All our siblings have dogs/pets and we are the first ones to be asked to look after them and we just love it! 🥰 Myself (Emmie) and my partner (Katie) both work part time so are flexible with days of work as well as days off and this includes availability on evenings and weekends Whether it’s in our home or their home, full care and attention will be taken to meet the needs of the animals and what the owners request

“I can thoroughly recommend Chris as a dog sitter and walker following him sitting at our house looking after our dog and cat. Chris responded promptly when I first contacted him. We were trying to arrange quite short notice dog and cat sitting due to a previous arrangement breaking down. Despite this he was as able to work around our dates to be able to provide the care we needed. Our dog can be anxious and has a tendency to resource guard. Chris was excellent at arranging to visit our house to meet our dog to get an idea of his needs and accompanied mr on a walk with him. He then, also, arranged to take our dog out on his own, for a walk. This provided Chris and us with the confidence to go ahead with the sit. Chris provided daily updates (messages, photos and video) whilst we were away which was great feedback. I know our dog loved the care he received. Chris is engaging, thoughtful and caring of the animals he is looking after. His calm demeanour was great for both our pets and ourselves! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chris as a sitter and to ask him to sit again in future.”

About: I’ve grown up around cats and dogs and have always had them in my life, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. I’ve regularly looked after my parents’ three dogs, as well as pet-sat for friends, giving me experience with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I’ve also previously had two cats, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand their different needs. I live in a flat with access to a garden, so there’s space for outdoor time as well as a comfortable environment indoors. I’m more than happy to take dogs on long walks and make sure they get plenty of exercise, stimulation, and attention. I’m very relaxed when it comes to house rules and will follow whatever your pet is used to, whether that means they’re allowed on the furniture or not. My priority is making sure they feel safe, happy, and at home while they’re with me. I’m reliable, caring, and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ll always treat your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated for peace of mind. Pet care fits easily into my routine as I plan my days around being available and attentive. I work remotely on Mondays and Fridays, which allows me to provide plenty of time, supervision, and company throughout the day. I’m also available on weekends for pet sitting, whether that’s at my home or yours. During the week, I can offer walks, check-ins, letting pets out, and general companionship. I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I have a secure, fenced garden for outdoor time, as well as plenty of space indoors for them to relax. I stick closely to each pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, and sleep, so they feel settled and at home. I’m happy to adapt to their needs, whether that’s lots of play and exercise or a quieter, more relaxed environment. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I make sure to respect both your space and your pet’s routine. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medication if needed, and any specific preferences your pet has. I also provide plenty of companionship and attention, and I’m happy to send regular updates so you feel reassured while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover based between Leeds and Manchester, we recently were devastated to lose our fox red Labrador, Callie. We have everything a dog could want, and a lot of love to dive, visiting dogs tend to settle in quickly and feel at home. I work from home full-time in an open-plan house, so your dog will always have company, supervision, and plenty of attention throughout the day—no long periods left alone. Our home is a relaxed, dog-friendly space where dogs are treated like part of the family. We’re lucky to have a fully enclosed garden with a secure double-gate system, so dogs can safely enjoy being outside whenever they like (weather permitting!). When it’s dry, they’re free to roam in and out as they please. Exercise is a big part of our routine. Our dog used to get three walks a day, usually up on the local moors and hills or along the canal—plenty of variety, fresh air, and stimulation. My wife, Lydia, is also a huge dog lover and often joins in, which means we can walk dogs separately if needed to suit their pace, personality, or training requirements. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone, so I’ll always keep you updated with photos, messages, and reassurance while you’re away. If you’re looking for a safe, active, and loving home-from-home environment for your dog, I’d love to help. Feel free to get in touch with any questions! I work from home full time so am available for sitting any time. I’m out with our dog on walks twice a day so have no problem with walking responsibilities, and love a longer explore with the dog at the weekend. I have a fully enclosed garden, and I work looking on to it, so am always paying attention to the dogs. Our home is very pet friendly, with laminate flooring and an open plan downstairs, so dogs can have space but also always be seen.
