House Sitting Kirkbymoorside

About: I've cared for a variety of pets throughout my life, from dogs and cats to horses and livestock! My aim is for all pets to feel as loved as possible. I work part time from home, as well as helping on the family farm. I have lots of availability for dog walking and pet sitting. Currently only offering house sitting and dog walks while work is being done on my house. However, current clients will have priority for when pet sitting in my own home becomes available. I have a gentle but playful border collie who can join playful pups for walks, or single household walks are available too!

“I can’t speak highly enough of Louise. My dog is my world and he requires medication on a regular basis. I immediately felt at ease with Louise and knew I could trust her with my boy. She has hit the perfect balance of warm and friendly with professionalism. Can’t wait to book another visit.”

About: Hello, I'm Emma I live in the Howardian Hills, just by Castle Howard, and when you go away, I come and stay in your home with your pet. Not quick visits, I'm there for the whole stay. I work part-time from home, so your pet has company throughout the day as well as overnight. This means walks, meals and medication are all kept in their routine, essential for anxious dogs. Same bed, same garden, same walk at the same time each day. I look after your home as carefully as your pet and leave it as I found it. You'll get photos and updates of your pet whilst you are away so you're not wondering. Rosie's Way is named after my own dog, Rosie. She taught me most of what I know about patience, companionship and paying proper attention to a dog's needs and after she passed away, I wanted to find a way to spend time around dogs again without rushing into another dog of my own before I'm ready. I'm a qualified work-from-home online therapist by profession, which means a lot of my working life is built around trust, confidentiality and paying close attention, qualities that carry over directly into caring for someone's pet in their own home. I treat every stay with the same care and discretion I'd want if it were my own home and pet. I'm a qualified work-from-home online, which means I can work anywhere with an internet connection. I typically work 2 to 3 hours a day online from home during the day and your pet would keep me company. DBS-Checked You can feel confident about who is in your home and who holds a key to your home. Professional Background In Care As a therapist and previously a carer, I am reliable, trustworthy and confidential. Being calm and attentive are second nature to me. Day Cover In Your Home I am there throughout the day, not just overnight. Personal You will always deal with me. I take time to get to know your pet's routine before I start. Insured I am insured through Cliverton, a specialist pet care insurer, covering both public liability and your pet while in my care. Experience A mature, reliable pair of hands. I have been around dogs all my life. What I don't offer: I do not take pets to stay overnight at my own home. That's a different, licensed activity (home boarding) under a separate council licence, which I don't hold. Everything I offer takes place at your home, where your pet is most comfortable.

“Jessie settled well with Jessica and the two of them seemed to have a great time. We came home to a very happy dog - she obviously hadn't missed us very much. Jessica was brilliant - the house was spotless. As if no-one had been here. We would definitely use Jessica and Rover again. Thank you”

About: Hello 👋 I am Ruth, 34 and have a 9 year old mix Pip. She is a rescue and through endless love and training she has blossomed over the years from a nervous, shy, quivering pup into a friendly, confident and loving dog. She is in excellent health for her age and loves nothing more than to zoom around a field! I have trained 3 of my own dogs and believe in a loving, positive approach with sensible boundaries. I am extremely active so your dog will get plenty of exercise! I have experience with dogs from 12 weeks to senior. I am self-employed so have plenty of time to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I am very flexible and can work around you and your furry friend as I can't work from anywhere at any time. I have my lovely Pip to keep your pet company and lots of play and socialisation. I can walk, spend time with or care for your pet in your home. I am clean, tidy, respectful and trustworthy. I am keen on animal health and feeding a good diet and plenty of exercise, with constant access to water and regular toilet breaks.

“Tamara was wonderful with Maude. I came home to a happy healthy pup who had blatantly had the best time with this lovely calm and confident young lady. Thank you so so much Tamara and I would highly recommend her to anyone in the area she’s a gem !”

About: I grew up looking after fantail doves, and since becoming a business owner and digital nomad in 2024, I've loved petsitting for many animals across the world. From dogs to cats to goats to goldfish, I've loved learning who they are, supporting them in their homes and having a fun & rewarding time with them in the process! I have experience with animals of all ages including week old puppies, senior dogs and cats. I work remotely in my own business, which allows me to live flexibly and support your pets with the routine and life they're used to whilst you're away. I enjoy settling into homes, caring for pets as part of my daily rhythm, and experiencing new people and places. * I'm DBS checked and insured I've loved petsitting for many animals in their homes across the world. I've loved learning who they are, supporting them in their homes and having a fun & rewarding time with them in the process! I have no problem giving them the care the need including routine, medication, love and play. I'm also quite a greenthumb and had plenty of plants and grew food on my balcony before becoming a digital nomad full time. I'm also used to dealing with any house issues that arise!

“Emma & Charlotte did great job of looking our three lovely doggies. We were only away for one night, but it was so reassuring to know that our 'girls' were in safe hands. Thank you Emma & Charlotte.”

“Kay gave us all the information we needed. She met early to discuss & view the house. Bella was very comfortable with her. Kay took her out for a walk & sent a photo to us . That reassured us & made us relaxed for the evening. Bella was sitting on her knee when we returned ,so calm & happy.”
