Dog Sitting Otley

About: I have grown up with dogs since about the age of 10, and always take care and walk my parents dog. I work alongside my full time job as a puppy yoga assistant too. I have a dog First Aid qualification also. I work from home with regular breaks so am available all week to look after pets. They fit perfectly into my routine as I already go for regular walks. I own a very safe 2 bed house, with plenty of room in the living room and kitchen, and 2 large bedrooms, so your dog will have lots of space to feel comfortable. I also have a decent sized back porch for your dog to safely play in.

About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all kinds. I understand that pets are part of the family, so I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ve looked after pets for neighbours, friends, and family over the years, which has given me hands-on experience with a range of personalities and routines. I’m confident caring for both dogs and cats, including young kittens, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs. As a cat owner myself, I currently have two cats, so I’m very familiar with feeding routines, litter care, playtime, and giving them the attention and affection they need. I’m especially patient with more nervous or shy pets and work to make sure they feel relaxed and secure. I also really enjoy being outdoors and love going on walks around Bramhope and nearby areas. Whether your dog prefers a gentle stroll or something more active, I’m happy to match their energy and I’m more than happy to run with dogs who need a bit of extra exercise. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like my own. I’m trustworthy, attentive, and committed to making sure your pet is happy and well looked after at all times so you can have complete peace of mind. Pet care fits really well into my daily routine. I currently work part-time at Costa Coffee three days a week, 10am–2pm, which gives me plenty of flexibility around those hours. On my workdays, I can do morning walks or visits before I start, and I’m also available after I finish in the afternoon and again in the evening for feeding, walks, playtime, or check-ins. On my days off, I have even more availability and can provide extra time, attention, and care as needed. This routine allows me to be consistent, reliable, and fully present for your pet, making sure they’re well cared for throughout the day and not left alone for long periods. I live in Bramhope, a quiet and safe area close to Golden Acre Park, with plenty of scenic and peaceful walking routes that are perfect for relaxed, enjoyable dog walks away from busy traffic. I also have a secure, fully fenced garden, providing a safe outdoor space for pets to enjoy. I understand how important trust and safety are when it comes to caring for your pets. I always make sure animals are supervised, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment. I provide feeding, litter tray cleaning, playtime, and companionship, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

“Lydia has been brilliant looking after my cocker spaniel puppy Dexter! Couldn’t recommend her enough. She even brought her dog Benny for a play date. Thank you for everything Dexter loves you both! ❤️”

About: ​Hi there! 😊 I’m Gabby 👋, an experienced and reliable pet sitter based in Leeds. ​I have a flexible schedule, love animals, and thoroughly enjoy travel—which has allowed me to look after adorable pets all over Europe. This flexibility also makes it easy for me to travel to more rural areas, which I know can be helpful for clients. (This is, of course, dependent on the length of the stay required). ​ What makes me a good sitter: ​I really enjoy long walks and getting out into the countryside. I love to explore with furry friends and have a car that I'm happy to transport pets in, provided you are comfortable with that. ​I have the good fortune of being able to work from anywhere, so I can be with your pet 24/7 throughout the duration of the booking. ​I am very effective at assessing animals' needs and facilitating a range of activities to ensure they are engaged and having a wonderful time. ​I also have experience in administering medications and supporting pets with strict routines or those undergoing training. I understand how important it is to follow an owner's guidance, especially if a pet has underlying health conditions. I feel confident caring for young and elderly animals alike, and none are too big or too small! 🐈🐕 ​ And generally, I just love animals—I mean, who doesn't love a cuddle on the sofa with a fur baby? ​ When sitting: ​I understand that inviting someone into your home to look after your pet requires a lot of trust, and I take that very seriously. I take care to look after both your pets and your home thoughtfully, ensuring your house is left as clean as it was found, and that your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I also love taking nice pictures of your pets to send you regular updates, so you can see what they're getting up to and have total peace of mind while you're away. ​Feel free to get in touch! I'm happy to have a phone call and arrange a meet-and-greet prior to booking. If you have any questions at all, please just let me know. I look forward to hearing from you soon. ​ Also, if you use this link, it gives you £15 off your first booking with me: 👉 https://www.rover.com/sit/gabrin67458 😊 ​Please note: Pets must be non-aggressive towards people and comfortable walking on a lead and/or have good recall. Owners are to provide beds, food, bowls, and toys for the duration of the stay. 🐾 Pet care fits very naturally into our routine. I have flexible working schedules, which means I can plan my day around the needs of pets able to give regular walks, attention and companionship throughout the day. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In our home, dogs are always supervised, have access to a secure, fenced garden for outdoor play and are welcome to rest comfortably inside with their own beds on on our covered sofa with us. We make sure the environment is calm, clean and free from hazards. When visiting owner’s home, I follow instructions carefully, respect routines, ensure the pet feels safe, attended too and comfortable at all times, and ensure that I leave the space tidy and clean. Whether at home or theirs, we provide consistent supervision, plenty of attention, and maintain a trustworthy, reliable presence so both pets and owners feel confident and at ease.

About: Avid dog lover for all your needs. I have experience walking, sitting and boarding for a variety of lovely dogs which helped me fundraise for volunteering projects abroad and will continue to support my travels. I have grown up with a dog in my life since I was born and trained my current dog who is the loveliest, gentle soul who loves to visit the care home and cheer up residents. When I’m home I’m looking after my Labrador full time. I don’t have a job at the moment so can easily accommodate anyone’s schedule and look after a dog throughout the day. I have a fully fenced back yard, am available 24 hours and own a car so am able to take a dog on a long walk in the nicest spots.

About: I’ve always loved dogs from a young age, but as my father is blind I’ve never been able to have one myself. However, to compensate for this, I have cared for both family and friends dogs for extended periods during their trips away and have found great delight and enjoyment in this. I have plenty of time to look after and dedicate to your furry friends alongside my work. Please feel free to reach out for specific availability! When caring for pets in an owners home, I like to understand what the pets usual routine is. I strive to stick as close as possible to this during my time with them so that they do not become stressed or upset and the experience is as easy as possible for them.

About: Hello! I’m Alex and I have cared for many breeds of dogs in the past, as well as my own cat Ivy for the past 3+ years and my 2 Guinea pigs, Churro and Viktor. I have owned many dogs previously, including Greyhounds, Staffies and even Cane Corsos. Additionally, I have also owned budgies, tropical fish and a tortoise. I always prioritise enrichment, exercise, affection and mental stimulation. The standard in which I care for my animals is very high and I believe it should be the same for all. I am currently working a part time job at an equine yard, but only work around 1-2 shifts a week. Now, as I recently graduated from college, I have a lot more free time and flexibility in my life and would love to fill this space with caring for dearly loved pets. A role of this nature is something I’ve been eager to do for a long time, as I love meeting unique furry personalities. Meeting animals with different traits and characteristics is always fun and interesting for me- and providing a great level of care for owners pets is something I love and enjoy greatly. I am happy to walk dogs for up to three times a day and would be willing to go on longer ones if this is requested and/or needed for the dog. I would prefer to care for animals at the owners location, due to my house being rather small and more of a cat-orientated household. However, I am happy to do daycare and may consider overnight care at my own home if I am comfortable with the situation and if I’m informed of important details e.g. temperament, size, bad behaviours. I am happy to do weekdays, holidays (summer, school, bank) and weekends if I am free and/or given enough time in advance. I have a fenced front and back garden and access to many suitable dog walking areas. Whether it’s a 15 minute stroll around the block, or a longer walk across the moors, I am more than up for it! A play and social session down at the local park is always a blast too. I am very fortunate to live in a great area for dog walking and adventures. I do own a cat and two Guinea pigs, but they are kept in a separate room (the cat goes outside but keeps to herself). My home has a high level of security, including CCTV cameras and multiple ring cameras too. I also have a wet room style bathroom so bathing medium sized dogs and under would be possible. I have a decently sized grass back garden and a small wood chip front garden. I also have an old dog kennel which is being used for storage, but if necessary, can be cleaned out for use. In terms of caring for a pet at the owners home, I have my own form of transport so commuting to the location wouldn’t be an issue (if it’s no more than around 20 miles from my location). I am perfectly comfortable staying over night and will happily adhere to any special arrangements and requests, such as number of walks per day, giving medications and specialist requirements. I am unable to walk large dogs if they are very reactive and strong pullers, otherwise I am totally happy. I do ask that I am informed of any personality traits or issues I need to be aware of e.g. is not friendly with other dogs, reactive to cats, must wear an muzzle etc. I have no personal preferences or limits when caring for cats, as I have lots of experience and knowledge- plus they’re quite a bit easier than dogs! Again, all I ask is to be informed of any medical requirements or specialist care for your pet.

“Rosie was took wonderful care of Maggy! She kept me updated with photos throughout her visit and in general was easy to communicate with. Thank you so much :)”

I am very attuned and attentive to animals subtle communication, allowing them to lead the way in our contact. I am available for drop in visits and walks. I am available at whatever time of day suits your dogs usual schedule, to maintain consistency. I will follow your instructions as to how to best care for your dog(s) and their safety. Walks out of the house will never be off lead. As a Rover user and dog owner myself, I recognise the importance of following instructions closely.

I have plenty of experience with small dogs as well as larger dogs- I feel very comfortable looking after all breeds. I have also owned 3 cats so I have a substantial amount of knowledge and experience with cats as well as dogs. I have also previously worked at a dog groomers, so i have experience with washing and cleaning dogs as well as walking, playing and entertaining them! Please note there is a £5/£10 add on if im driving to your home (I am Pudsey based) unless you are based around Pudsey then no add on is required for travel. Im also happy to take female in heat for an additional £5 charge. Pet care is a regular and important part of my daily routine. I schedule time for walks, play, feeding and enrichment to ensure each pet receives consistent attention and care. I am flexible and can adjust my schedule to meet the needs of the pets I’m caring for, whether that involves daily visits, longer stays or weekend care. My goal is to provide reliable and structured care that fits into your pets’ needs! I do not currently have any pets of my own, which allows me to focus fully on caring for the animals of others without any potential conflicts or disruptions- Especially if your pet is boarding in my home for a long period of time.

About: I work within animal nursing, I have experienced with a variety of breeds from bulldogs to greyhounds. I treat every pet as an individual and their emotional and physical welfare is my priority. I enjoy caring for animals and my days revolve around the care of my own Dogs. I typically do a morning toilet walk, breakfast. Longer midday walk usually 45 mins to a couple of hours. Tea around 5/6pm then an evening toilet walk. With toilet breaks in the garden throughout the day and evening. I have a fenced garden my kitchen window looks out on to with a secure gate I have two social Dogs who would be in the House with your pet. My dogs are very playful so please make me aware before hand if your Dog prefers a quieter home setting as I can keep my dogs seperated

About: I've always grown up around dogs -- first we had a boxer dog and then we got a boxador puppy who I trained and raised as a teenager. I have a toddler who is also dog obsessed and so we are looking to go on dog walks and dog visits together. I'm a stay-at-home Mum so can be incredibly flexible, I choose what my day looks like! Please feel free to reach out last minute! I cannot have dogs in my own home, but I have a car and am more than happy to travel to visit other dogs and do take dogs on walks..

About: I have owned and loved many pets since I can remember and for many years I have begged for a dog. With no luck, I turned to caring for my friends, families and neighbours dogs. I have lots of experience walking dogs and cleaning them before reentering the owners house. I enjoy dog sitting and spending time with people’s lovely pups and have experienced caring for cats and dogs overnight at the owners homes. I have grown up with cats and love finding out the different personalities of all kinds of new pets! I am currently at Leeds Trinity University but I would love to one day set up my own pet walking/sitting business. I am free Monday after 2pm and Tuesday to Friday all day. My weekends differ but I will always try to make my plans around your needs! I am keen to get to know your pets before walking or sitting for them as meeting new people can sometimes be daunting for them so I like to build trust and a good relationship with your pet before taking on the role. I am happy to follow your usual routines, following your feeding, walking and safety requirements. On walks I prefer to keep your dogs on the lead unless in a safe and secure environment.I am very adaptable and will happily work to your requirements.

About: I've always had dogs growing up from a Golden retriever to a cockapoo to a Collie. I live with my partner in Guiseley. We love heading out for walks in the local area on most evenings and heading further afield to the Dales and Peaks on weekends. We don't have kids but would love to have a dog join us for our walks. We both work from home so are around most days. We can be available most weekends with enough notice. We are happy to accommodate dogs staying overnight. We have a secure, fenced yard where your dog will be safe to play. We also have a large kitchen which can accommodate your pet sleeping in overnight if required

About: As an energetic individual who has cared for dogs and cats almost all my life, i can ensure that your fury family member will be in safe hands with me. I am also familiar with puppies having cared for my Labrador, Nellie, from 7 weeks old. I have a safe garden and live only 5 minutes from Becketts park where I can get my steps up whilst walking your dog up to several times a day. I am more than happy to let your pet on furniture including beds if this is something you would prefer, after all, they too are on their holibobs! A little about me- I am going into my third year of university where I study physical Education. In the future I am hopeful to pursue a career in teaching, and in my spare time I coach young children sports which I hope demonstrates that I am a trusting individual. As an animal lover I can promise that your pet will be treated like a four legged king/queen by treating them as my own! Don’t hesitate to message me or ask any questions!

About: Hey! I’m Holly and my resident Dobie is called Luca. We’d love to look after your pup! I’ve taken care of many dogs and breeds with over a decade of experience. I have particular personal experience with large and working breeds including Dobermans (my current pet), pointers and boxers. I can be pretty flexible with bookings so even if my calander states I’m unavailable, drop me a message and I’ll see if I can rearrange things to accommodate you! I know first hand how important it is finding the right person to trust with your pet. So, feel free to drop me a message if you want to get to know me more. I’m currently working Monday-Friday full time, but have plenty of evening and weekend availability to dedicate to your dog. A bigger plus if they like to socialize with other dogs, as my pet Dobie can join us for group walks. But, if your pup would like some alone time without the resident Dobie tagging along, then I can cater for that too. I have a fenced front and back garden, and a very friendly Doberman who would love to play with your dog! We can go on a range of walks in the local area, suited to your dogs specific needs. If your dog would prefer solo walks, I can cater for this too as well as a variety of on and off lead time.

“Emily has been a brilliant drop-in sitter from start to finish, great communication and always on time! My first time using Rover for my shy indoor cat but after our meet and greet I felt at ease with Emily looking after my boy - thank you :)”
