Pet Sitting Masham

About: I’ve been around animals since I was 8, growing up with a Jack Russell cross and a Staffy, and I’ve always loved caring for animals. I often look after my friends golden retrievers so also used to being around larger dogs. I now have my own 2-year-old British Shorthair, Mimi, who is neutered and very much part of the family. My partner has also grown up around a variety of animals, so we both have plenty of experience and genuinely enjoy being around pets. I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need a little extra attention and understand that every dog has different needs and routines. I enjoy walking and spending time outdoors, so having a friendly dog along for the walk is a bonus! We’re looking forward to helping other pet owners out and giving their pets plenty of care, attention and cuddles while they’re away. I currently work full-time in marketing, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. My partner also works from home four days a week, so between us, we can easily fit pet care around our working day, whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime or simply giving your pet some company and attention. We’re also free on weekends, giving us plenty of time to give your pet some extra love and attention, with the added bonus of being able to take them on some lovely walks around the Yorkshire Dales 🐾 We want your pet to feel happy, comfortable and cared for while you’re away, and we’ll treat them as one of our own! ❤️ We have an enclosed garden with plenty of grass, sun and shade for your pet to relax in and go to the toilet! I can accommodate a crate trained dog (we can even supply the crate) or one that likes company to sleep next to 🫶🏼

“We just love knowing that Abi is taking care of our dogs, she is super responsive to our messages and was great at checking in with us after each visit that she came to let them out for the toilet and some company. Abi met our lovely other dog Sylvie for drop ins this time, and it's clear that they got on like a house on fire! Abi gives us so much peace of mind and we are so grateful for her visits 🙏🏻 🐕”

“This was my first time using a house sitter for my cat and I could've have asked for anyone better than Emma to guide us along. Everything went so smooth and it gave us peace of mind recieving updates for each visit. I couldn't recommend Emma more :)”

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and grew up with both dogs and cats, so looking after animals has pretty much always been part of everyday life for me. I now have a dog and two cats of my own, all of whom are very much part of the family (and completely spoiled!). I’m confident caring for pets of different ages, personalities and needs, including senior animals who might need a little more patience, a slower pace or some extra TLC. I’m equally happy with energetic dogs who want to get out and explore, nervous or quieter pets who need time to get comfortable, and cats who will decide entirely on their own whether we’re going to be friends. More than anything, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pets with somebody else. I want you to be able to go away, go to work or just get on with your day feeling completely confident that they’re safe, happy and in good hands. I’ll always take the time to get to know their normal routine, their quirks, what they like (and what they don’t!), and make their time with me feel as familiar and relaxed as possible. And I am absolutely the type of person who will send you far too many photos and updates, because I know that’s exactly what I’d want when someone else was looking after mine. I am a business owner so can be flexible as to timings for popping in to see your pet. Midday visits are possible, but for 2 visits/day, these will typically be in the morning and early evening. As someone who has used pet sitters in the past, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. Where possible, I will always meet in person before you go away to make sure everything is done the way you'd want it!

“I was really worried leaving my wee kitty with a stranger. Lucy is an amazing petsitter. I had the possibily to meet her in person before my booking, which confirmed me I took the right choice. Thanks million for your time and help.”

About: I have looked after dogs/puppies since my Sons left home 10 years ago. I am very trustworthy and treat all dogs as if they are part of my family. I simply love all dogs. I can also arrange dog grooming while they stay with me, a job less for you. My location where I live is perfect and safe for all dogs. I only take dogs from one household at any time so that they get my undivided attention. You are welcome to arrange to visit my home before confirming any bookings. I am retired and can spend all day/night looking after your dogs. I live in a fabulous location surrounded by fields this allows for some great walks. My house is a detatched house located in the middle of fields. My garden is fenced in with dry stone walling. The ground floor of my house is floor boarding and tiles so very practical for dog caring.

“Rachel was very easy to communicate with, and Maple was evidently having a great time with Rachel. Only issue would be the worry that your pet will like Rachel more than yourself! Highly recommend”

About: Since childhood, I have always had a family dog, so being around and caring for dogs has been a big part of my life. I’ve been volunteering most weekends at Holly Hedge Dog Sanctuary, whenever my work schedule allows. During my time there, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of dogs, each with different personalities and needs. This experience has not only shown my love for animals but has also helped me develop a strong confidence in looking after dogs and understanding their behavior. It's something I really enjoy and feel passionate about. My work schedule changes each week, so feel free to send me a message! Your dog will always be my top priority, and I will make sure to find time to give them the attention they deserve. I’m currently living in military accommodation on Catterick Camp. While my living area isn’t very spacious, I can guarantee that your dog will receive plenty of attention and care. I’ll make sure to take them out for walks in a secure and safe environment where they can enjoy themselves. Your dog's well-being is important to me, and I want to ensure they have the exercise, love and attention they need.
