Dog Sitting Otley

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..

“Thanks so much Anastasia for dropping in on Maev whilst I was away. You did a fab job and Maev was so happy to get some play time and cuddles from you :)”

About: **DBS CHECKED** 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.

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 have taken care off a range of different pets over the last 5 years and recently discovered Rover. No pet is too big or too small. I’m currently working 9 - 4:30 Monday to Friday with 2 days in the office and 3 days at home. Looking for something in the evenings or weekends. I will always have your pets best interest at heart. I understand some pets may need more attention then others where some are happy to sleep all day, others are fully of energy.

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.

About: I have had animals in my life for as long as I can remember, including dogs, cats, horses, and reptiles, which has given me a wide range of hands-on experience in animal care. From a young age, I developed a deep passion for working with animals and began training my first dog, Belle, at just seven years old. I proudly took her to dog shows to showcase the skills and abilities I had worked hard to develop with her, which taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of positive training. Currently, I have a French Bulldog named Leo, who is my absolute rock. Through caring for him, I have gained a strong understanding of the specific needs, health considerations, and attention that this breed requires. My experience extends beyond my own pets, as I have regularly looked after friends’ and family members’ dogs while they are away on holiday or working. I am reliable, responsible, and always prioritise the animals’ wellbeing, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and properly cared for at all times. Animals have always been at the heart of my life, and I take great pride in providing attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care. I am currently looking at other options in my career so I am free weekdays to take care of your pets needs, whether you are at work or on holiday. I have a large fully enclosed decking with plenty of rooms for dogs to play with whatever toys they love. I also have Leo who is an friendly pooch for them to engage with as he loves to play with new friends. There are also tons of walks around my house with open space for dogs to bound around.
