Cat Sitting Rawcliffe

“Lucy was friendly, is really knowledgeable with a lot of experience around dogs, and was fantastic getting along with our very energetic pup!”

“Octavia-Louise was a godsend today when we needed help to look after our boy who has recently been attacked. He took to her immediately and is clearly very kind hearted. As I was also attacked this has been such a benefit to me to know he’s been taken care of when I had to go out”

“Claudia was absolutely amazing, we couldn't have asked for more in terms of communication and care. She is a proper cat person (you definitely get the impression she is mainly doing this job to get to meet new cats 😊) and we felt so relaxed leaving our two for the first time. Highly, highly recommend.”

About: I've been dog sitting for my family and friends for 5 years now, and have a gentle and caring approach to meeting new people and pets. I am a member of my uni's dog society where we socialise and walk dogs, and have experience from raising two crazy spaniels from puppy / rescue. Would love new company and experience! I'm currently a student, so have lots of time within the week for visits, and very flexible for overnight stays. Whether you're heading on a weekend, day trip or full holiday, I'd love to help out! I offer clean and responsible care for your pets, and love big walks and cosy evenings in. I have a car and great knowledge of walks around York. Unfortunately, I cannot offer stays at my own home.

“Very happy and superior care is always given to our two girl one year old cats. Georgia is professional, attentive, and helpful. We know they’re in excellent hands with Georgia.”

“Mika and Max tell me that Rachel was a very good replacement butler, and would be agreeable to her coming round again if we are permitted to take another break from them. Food and tickles were provided on time every day (Mika sat in the window each day checking the clock to make sure), in a very professional manner, and to their required high standards. Max was very pleased with his daily photographs, which he thinks captured his hansom side. Thanks Rachel.”

About: Hi, I’m Zoe 😊 I’ve had the joy of looking after dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, and I currently share my home with an energetic cocker spaniel who keeps me on my toes and reminds me daily how much love and fun our four-legged friends bring into our lives. I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s going on long walks or simply giving plenty of love attention, I’ll make sure your pup gets exactly what they need. I’m attentive to their needs, experienced in handling high-energy dogs, and committed to giving each dog the love and care they deserve. If you’re looking for someone reliable, patient, and passionate about dogs, I’d love to help! I work from home the majority of the time and have plenty of opportunity to give your pet the love and care it deserves, with regular walks, toilet breaks and cuddles! I have a fenced garden and a friendly cocker spaniel to keep your pup company! At your home, I will be more than happy to take instructions and look after your pet / home as needed to minimize disruption to their routine as much as possible.

About: Hello! We're Lizzie and Sam, an animal-loving couple based in York city centre with a passion for pets and the great outdoors. Having both grown up surrounded by animals, caring for dogs, cats, rabbits and more has always been a huge part of our lives. In 2020, we welcomed our own rescue girls, Rolo and Oreo, into the family, which only strengthened our love for providing the very best care for animals. What sets us apart is our combined experience caring for pets at every stage of life, from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior dogs and cats who need a little extra patience, comfort and attention. We're confident with training, maintaining routines, administering basic care and medication, and adapting to each pet's individual needs and personality - giving extra snuggles or some distance wherever required. As active outdoor enthusiasts, we love keeping dogs happy with enriching walks and adventures, while ensuring every pet feels safe, relaxed and loved. We understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, so we'll treat your furry family members as if they were our own, providing plenty of updates, photos and reassurance while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine as we're both fortunate to work from home. This gives us the flexibility to provide care throughout the day. As pet owners ourselves, we're used to planning our days around the needs of animals and understand the importance of maintaining their usual routines. Being home-based means we're available to give your pets plenty of attention, care and monitoring, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy and well looked after while you're away. We always want to make pets feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible, whether we're caring for them in our home or in their own familiar environment. At home, we have a small, fully walled and secure back garden, providing a safe outdoor space for pets to enjoy. Our own cats, Rolo and Oreo, love spending time relaxing in the sunshine there

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since been born and looked after different species of dogs and cats since they were young. I’ve helped train and teach them on what to do. I’ve helped more in the past few years with been older and sitting my families animals when they are away I am currently at uni where I’m there 2 days a week but varies all the time, and I also work part time at a pharmacy which I am changing my hours soon to fit around university. I have a fenced off garden space which is fine to allow dogs in for the toilet. There is a big downstairs space which is enough to allow the animals in and run about and sleep.

About: I adore animals and grew up with dogs, mainly terriers and labs so caring for them is second nature to me. I’ve worked in many places that are dog friendly also. I absolutely adore pets and and can’t wait to know yours. I’ve got over 10 years experience living with and minding pets, mainly dogs and cats, from puppies to rescues. I’m an active outdoorsy person so can provide that adventure if needed but also know a calm and comforting environment with a cuddle is sometimes what’s needed. I work freelance so my schedule is variable and flexible. I keep my calendar as up to date as possible but just get in touch if you’re interested and we can chat! I live in a new build flat, accessed via stairs in York. It is spacious and airy and near many green spaces with lovely walks and not far from the river and gardens. I welcome open communication so please share what your pet requires so I can best accomodate.

“Madeline was amazing! She gave us constant updates and really made friends with our cat Orbit. Thanks Madeline for keeping our minds at ease.”

About: I have always had dogs, currently have 3! I have experience with many animals including horses, rodents, cats and love the time I get to spend with animals. I’m around full time so plenty of time to give to everyone’s furry family members. I’m flexible with time and will try to accommodate where possible. I am happy to care for you pets in your own home following the routine of your choice. I will ensure they are well cared for as if they’re my own.

“Gemma looked after my cats for the second time recently. As always she was reliable, friendly and kept in touch. Arrived home to happy cats. I would definitely recommend and book her again. 🐾”

About: I’ve taken care of numerous dogs, aging from pups to seniors. I have maintained training programmes, as well as managing nervous and aggressive dogs. My experience in care work means I am exceptionally attentive and empathetic. I have a flexible schedule as a student. I am looking for part time work, and I am happy to work around pet owners requirements. My approach differs between cats and dogs. Cats: I keep a calm, quiet environment with no loud noises or surprises. I like to give the cat the space it deserves, and allow it to approach me when ready for cuddles or playing. Dogs: My fenced garden means easy access to outside. Lots of playing, goofing around and mental stimulation.

About: Founded on a genuine love for dogs my mission is simple; to provide a safe, reliable, and fun walking environment to keep tails wagging and owners worry free. Whether it's a gentle walk around the neighbourhood or energetic outings with friends, I tailor every walk to suit your dogs needs, personality and pace. I am a professional dog walker. I have three walk slots a day. Morning/lunch/afternoon with home visits in-between. Which time best suits you? I have the following; Emergency canine first aid qualification (CPD accredited), Professional dog walker certification (MDWA accredited) and crash tested crates for your dogs safety (DTboxes)

“Fernanda was fantastic. Organised and good communication. Got on with two dogs (both quite nervous of strangers) straight away. Will definitely book again if needed and available! Thanks”
