Pet Sitting Pollington

“Loki and Midnight were in great hands with Julie; she even left them a little present at the end of her visits. Julie came to meet the cats before we went away and I was able to show her where everything was. Would highly recommend and wil definitely be using her again; it was far less stressful for the cats to have someone look after them in their own home and Julie was fantastic and even gave me updates while I was away.”

About: Hi I'm Monica, mummy to Olly the Cockapoo and wife to Pete a proud Yorkshireman. Together, we are delighted to offer your special fur babies, our comfy home for when you have to take a break. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac, our home offers a secure garden and we are lucky to be having lots of fabulous country walks right outside our doorstep. Muddy walks are never a problem, we love nothing more that our doggies to be free and enjoy their daily walks. A fully equipped doggy shower in the garage, means that there are no restrictions on the amount of fun that can be had outdoors. As well as varied and exciting daily walks I will also engage your babies in fun and challenging mind games to combat boredom and spice up their daily routine. We often weave a beach day into our stays as well, of course this is season and weather dependent. We do not mind sharing our sofas and bed with your dog unless he/she is a shedder and then we would politely ask them (with a homemade doggy sausage) to use their own bed. Olly on the other hand, has no such restrictions and is more than happy to share his own beds. I work from home every day, so your baby will have plenty of human company and cuddles on tap. Myself and Olly would like to meet our doggy guests and their humans ahead of their stay if possible, just to make sure they like us (we will greet them with plenty more of those homemade treats to ensure we get a warm reception :) ), but I understand that sometimes life has a habit of throwing us curveballs and you might need care at the last minute, talk to us and we will always try our best to accommodate :) Routine is very important and so I will work with you on exactly what kind of care you would like me to provide, and will make sure that I follow it as closely as possible to help with the transition. Building a relationship based on trust with your precious baby is my number one priority, I work extra hard for that to happen and it's my aim to make sure your baby REALLY likes it with us, and would be happy to return again on his own accord. We are delighted to provide all of the complimentary treats and snacks for all the stays. Monica makes them herself, all 100% natural meat derived, calcium enriched with absolutely no fillers. They will enjoy elevenses mid morning, a little lunchtime munch, a mid afternoon chew and a just before bedtime snack is a must. I will discuss these in more detail and I need to mention that we are happy to accommodate raw feeders and kibble alike. My training style is positively led, I reward good habits and behaviour and completely ignore the less favourable ones, simple as that. I will never scold or shout at your dog, I do not believe it works and I wouldn't dream of doing it to my own baby. Rest assured, I will treat your own treasure with the same respect and shower them with as much love as they will allow me. Because much to my disappointment, I learned that not all of them are cuddlers :) And do not worry about missing a thing, I will inundate you with updates whether they are here for a day or eleven !!! photos and videos of your babes will be sent in abundance, so you can check and watch them enjoying their own good times away from home, while you enjoy yours. <3 One more thing, Because we strive to offer a high quality of care we have made the decision that your baby will be our only guest for the duration of his stay. We will of course accept 2 pets from the same household and sometimes we will accept some doggy day care guests, only pets we know well and have stayed with us before and only after we have asked for your agreement to this arrangement. If any of this sounds like it would be a good fit for you and your babies please drop us a line, we look forward to meeting you :)

“Tara is so so lovely and was amazing looking after my cat, she communicated regularly, sent photos and updates and went above and beyond what she needed to do. Honestly couldn’t thank her enough and will 100% book again, I have one happy fur baby who usually sulks when I come back from a night away but he loved her! Thank you Tara 🤍”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young, having 3 family dogs in the home. I love the outdoors and walking loads too for the more adventurous dogs too! I work hybrid so have the flexibility to WFH meaning lots of cuddles and toilet breaks, plenty of walks and engagement. I also work half days on Friday so have the availability to walk on Friday afternoons too. I am happy to view homes before dog sitting and understand the environment in which your pet lives in, will require the basic needs of your dog before hand and learn about their habits (no off lead etc)

About: I’ve cared for family pets for many years and have attended an animal management course for animal welfare and behaviour, which included details of training animals and properly caring for a variety of different animals and pets. I have also volunteered at a dog kennels looking after dogs in kennels whilst their owners were away and I currently work at a dog groomers. I have learned to care for a variety of animals so can provide care for different pets. I am currently at college and have a job so I can fit pet care into anytime on weekends and after 6pm on weekdays. I can also provide pet care during bank holidays and any other time off I have. I can cater to different pets’ needs and follow specific instructions pet owners have for their pets to make sure they have the best care. I will only provide pet care for pets outside of my house as I have a dog and wouldn’t want pets to become stressed by this, also for the sake of my own dog’s wellbeing.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and currently have two family dogs at my mum’s house, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my day-to-day life. During secondary school, I volunteered at Tia Rescue in Doncaster, helping care for dogs with different personalities and needs. While living in Canada, I also provided dog sitting for guests staying at Kananaskis Mountain Lodge, caring for dogs while their owners were out exploring or relaxing. I’m patient, reliable and genuinely love spending time with animals — whether that’s walks, playtime, cuddles or simply keeping them company and comfortable while you’re away. I currently can’t have a dog of my own where I live, so this is honestly the next best thing for me. I love getting to spend time with different dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe and well cared for. I currently work part-time at a coffee shop, so my schedule is flexible and gives me good availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins and pet sitting. I enjoy getting outdoors more and love spending time with dogs, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m happy to keep owners updated with messages and photos so you know your dog is safe and happy while you’re away. I live in a home with a fully fenced garden where dogs can safely play and relax. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and understand how important routine, patience and reassurance are when caring for someone else’s pet. I’ll always make sure dogs feel comfortable, well looked after and treated like part of the family while in my care.

About: I have owned both cats and dogs throughout my life, believing that a house is not a home unless it comes with a furry companion. My oldest dog lived until 17, so I am aware what care comes with looking after a senior dog. My most recent dog I’ve raised from birth so have experience training younger pets too. I don’t currently have a cat as I live on a main road but I love cats as well, so am open to caring for both. I look after family and friends pets when they are away on holidays or trips and would love to continue this on a wider scale. I am recently left my full-time job on medical grounds and have taken up pet sitting as my main job, therefore I am able to dedicate fully to your pets needs. I believe that it is important for pets to feel comfortable and safe in their surroundings, which is why I only offer pet sitting in their own homes to provide familiarity and comfort to pets whilst their owners are away.

About: With over four decades of dedicated experience, I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages and a wide variety of breeds. My home, a comfortable 2-bedroom house, is ideally situated directly opposite a sprawling country park, providing endless opportunities for walks and outdoor adventures. I'm proud to say that the dogs I care for consistently show their happiness and eagerness to return. You can expect regular updates on your pet's stay. Every owner receives photos of their dog enjoying their time with me, typically sent via WhatsApp for convenience. I believe in keeping you fully informed and connected with your beloved companion throughout their visit. Being at home full-time allows me to fully commit to your dog's well-being. I focus on maintaining their established routines and ensuring they receive all the walks they need, treating each dog with the same love and attention I give my own. My property boasts a secure, fully fenced garden, perfect for safe play. The immediate proximity to the country park means daily access to expansive green spaces for exercise and exploration. Inside, my 2-bedroom home features practical, easy-to-clean flooring, making it perfectly suited for dogs, especially after muddy park adventures. I also have a friendly small dog who loves making new canine friends, ensuring a sociable and happy environment for your pet. Your dog's care will be tailored precisely to your wishes, and their familiar home routine will be diligently upheld. As a retired individual home most days, dog care fits seamlessly into my routine. I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, and companionship while managing errands. When it comes to looking after your beloved pets, I provide attentive, reliable, and loving care, whether in your home or mine. My services are tailored to meet the unique needs of your furry friends, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away.

About: Hi! I’m a 26-year-old dog lover from the UK who has recently moved back home after living in Australia. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, from Jack Russells to Staffies, and I absolutely love spending time with them. Both of my family dogs were rescues, so I understand the importance of patience, building trust, and taking the time to understand each dog’s individual personality and needs. I know that every dog is different, whether they’re energetic and playful, nervous and shy, or simply love a good cuddle! While living in Australia, I regularly looked after dogs through Mad Paws, taking them on walks and welcoming them into my home for longer stays. This gave me valuable hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, routines and needs, as well as building trust with both dogs and their owners. I have my own car, so I’m happy to travel to nearby areas for dog walks, drop-in visits or pet sitting. I’m reliable, caring and genuinely passionate about dogs, and I’ll always treat your furry friend as if they were my own. 🐾❤️ I’m looking to start dog walking and pet care full-time, so I’ll have plenty of availability during the day. I’m flexible with times and happy to work around your dog’s routine and needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe and settled in their familiar surroundings. I take the time to get to know their usual routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime and any other care they need. I understand that being away from their owners can be unsettling for some pets, so I provide plenty of attention, reassurance and companionship while respecting their individual personality and boundaries. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. Most importantly, I’ll treat your home with respect and care for your pet as if they were my own.

About: I’m passionate about creating a safe and happy environment where every dog feels loved and cared for. With plenty of time to dedicate to your furry friends, I’m available weekends and week days to ensure your pet receives the attention they deserve. My home is perfect for dogs to relax and play. It’s just myself and my little 5-year-old pug, who is friendly, playful, and eager to make new friends. We also have a spacious, secure grass garden where your dog can enjoy fresh air and exercise in a safe environment. I work from home, which gives me plenty of time to play with and care for your beloved dogs! I’m available for boarding seven days a week, including both weekdays and weekends, ensuring your furry friends get all the attention and love they deserve. At my home, pets are treated like family. I create a safe and loving environment where they feel relaxed and happy. Since I work from home, I’m always around to give plenty of attention and playtime. I share my home with our friendly 5-year-old pug, who loves making new doggy friends. We have a spacious and secure grass garden that offers plenty of room for running, playing, and exploring safely. Whether your dog enjoys snuggles on the couch, fun outdoor activities, or quiet moments to rest, I tailor the care to suit their individual needs.

About: Dogs have always been a passion of mine, I have grown up with dogs and dreamed of the day I could have my very own! Whenever I can you’ll find me walking the dogs, playing, training, napping…. I have experience with a variety of animals, hamsters, ferret to cats & dogs, farm animals like sheep & cows, horses too. After recently changing careers I’m now available for any of hours the day and week to accommodate for any busy schedules clients may have & special requirements their pets may need. I have a dog park local too me, at my own cost I pay for this and take the dogs here for a safe and secure location.

“Lovely updates and photos! Thank you for taking such good care of Moose while we were away 🙂”

About: I grew up basically on a small holding with hundreds of animals, my childhood home was like a mini zoo, always around dogs/cats and various exotic species. My family bred various breeds of dogs and ive always loved cats, dogs and dog training. My family always had 4/5 minimum at one time so home doesn't feel like home without lots of wagging tails around. Since leaving college and university my career has been within the animal sector. Vet nurse Farm manager Zookeeper Animal educator / educational presenter Reptile keeper Pet therapy dogs Animal therapy provider Kennel worker These are the job titles ive held over the years. I have a National Diploma in Animal Management and care I have a Degree in Animal Care & Zoology I am level 3 dog and cat first aid trained and have frequent refresher courses. I am a DEFRA trained and qualified microchip implanter so I see many dogs and cats from all walks of like and temperaments. I have completed various courses for feline behaviour and also dog behaviour & training. I work from home, animals are my life and my household revolves around my pets. Every day all my dogs and cats are fed, cleaned cuddled and cared for. I'm with them throughout the day for extra play, training and of course lots of walks and cuddles. My life revolves around my pets and it's always been this way. I will always provide the same love, care and attention to any pet coming over for their short / long stay. They'd be treated as part of our pack, as part of our family whilst here ❤️ I have plenty of spaces for additional dogs, either to be with my own dogs OR to be separated if wanted/needed. I have a dog living room , a cat living room and a living room spare for anyone who likes to be alone and wants peace and quiet can relax. I have many spaces for cats as my cats have the entire house to roam free but I also have an animal room attached to the house that turns into a cattery or kennels if any owner prefers their cat/dog to be separated from the pets I have. My animal room is spacious and kept clean. It has many beds and hideouts as well as a TV and sofa bed so any cat or dog will feel at home. Its easy for me to go in there and chill out watching TV giving cuddles creating that homely experience for any pet staying. I have a garden that's fully secured with fencing and 2 garden gate system for extra security. The property is covered with cameras and has 24/7 CCTV surveillance. I like to always give owner updates and keep in contact, providing videos and photos of how their family member is getting on for reassurance.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a young child. I’ve dealt with dogs with medical issues, mobility issues and senior dogs. I love taking them for walks and bonding with them. I work from home so my schedule is flexible for your pet needs whether it be taking them on a walk or drop in visits. I work from home so I can take dogs out at anytime of the day; I can take dogs out for multiple walks a day I have a yard with 1 dog friendly dog who loves other animals to interact with; comfortable home environment to make dogs feel safe away from home

About: Hi, I'm Zoe, 31. I live in Crowle with Ivy, my Dutch Shepherd x Bullmastiff. She's 40kg of energy and sass, so I know what working breeds need: proper exercise, clear boundaries, and someone who won't get dragged into a hedge. I'm a self-employed photographer and online brand expert, so my days are flexible. Early walks, midday check-ins and house sits all work for me. You'll get photo updates on every visit (decent ones, it's literally my job, I may even take my camera), plus messages so you always know how your dog's getting on. I've got my own car and I'm happy to do a meet and greet first so your dog (and you) can feel at ease. My work is flexible, so I can fit around you. Early walks, lunchtime check-ins, evenings and weekends are all fine. Just message me with what you need and I'll let you know quickly if I can do it. I'm self-employed, so I'm used to being organised and reliable. I'll stick to your dog or cats routine exactly as you set it out: feeding, walks, meds, whatever they need. I've got my own car in case of emergencies, and I'll always have your vet's details to hand. If anything seems off, you'll hear from me straight away.

About: I've been around cats my whole life, caring for them from as early as I can remember, since getting our own place we've adopted two cats of our own that we are full time carers for, including their medical needs. Dogs also have a special place in my heart, often being the go to sitters for any dog owners in our circles, catering to all their special needs. Dogs really can pour their souls out to you if you know how to listen to them. I work part time in the office, typically Monday and Tuesday, this means I'm busy from 7am - 6pm those days, outside of the I am very flexible, able to work to most schedules and holidays. When in your home I will treat it with the upmost respect, following any rules you're household may have in place. Most pets have a schedule, and being schedule oriented myself I know how difficult it can be when something changes, so I will work to adhere to three schedule of each pet to ensure the happiest possible pet.

About: Hello, I’m Rebecca! ☺️ I joined Rover because I need my fix of furry friends! I grew up with pets, and I miss being around animals. I’m a 31 year old looking to pet sit alongside my full time job. I would love a little pup of my own, but due to my current housing situation, that isn’t possible (yet)! I do a lot of long walks, so would love the company. I’m happy to look after your pets in your home or take them out for a run, whatever the weather! I love dogs of all different sizes, ages, training and energy levels. I look forward to looking after your 4-legged friend! 🐶🐱🐾 I am a part-time dog-sitter but would love to fit in as many walks as possible! I keep my calendar open so I have the opportunity to move things around to help. I will only walk off-leash with your pup if I feel confident in doing so! I am unable to accommodate animals at my house but am happy to care for your pets at your home. I am happy to meet beforehand to run-through any needs you may have!

“Oliver agreed to drop in on my cat Larry very last minute. We will be going on holiday next year and will ask Oliver again to take care of Larry.”

About: I have grown up with dogs of different breeds and sizes (Dalmatian, Yorkshire Terrier, Beagle, Springer Spaniel, Greyhound etc) and have loved each and every one of them. I had a black Labrador from an 8 week old puppy up until a year ago when she moved to Manchester with my ex boyfriend but I still visit regularly and take for long walks. I am very comfortable with any type of dog and am used to caring for them on a daily basis. I miss having my dog around and so will shower your pets with love and attention whilst they are in my care, and will respect all ground rules set by owners I work shifts and have time off during the week so the ideal situation for me would be 1 or 2 day stays/visits as it would fit into my schedule perfectly. I have lots of time to give your pet plenty of attention and can walk/play for as long as the pet needs I have a large fenced garden and your pet will be treated like it’s my own, with permission to sleep on furniture if wanted. Would be in large comfortable crate overnight unless requested otherwise

About: I have everyday experience with dogs, including oldie seniors as I grew up looking after my 15 year old, medium sized dog who passed recently. Also I have dog sat for extended family and friends for all sizes and breeds of dog. I am currently a student at the University of Leeds so I’m looking for some lovely animals to look after during my summer break from uni. I have a nice garden with a good sized fence for all those bigger dogs. I have an old dog that is happy and welcoming for those of you with timid and shy dogs that need a bit of canine comforting.
