Dog Walking Rawcliffe

About: Hi, I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and I’ve come back from university for a long holiday break and would love to welcome your dog into my family’s home to stay. I’m also available for dog walking and day care. We can offer a fenced and safe garden, comfortable sofa and plenty of time for cuddles, company, walks and playtime to all the dogs that stay with us. Our home is very dog friendly and full of treats and toys. We live local to the river and multiple green spaces for a variety of walks. Our family dog, Willow, is 5 years old, she’s an independent miniature poodle. I am happy to arrange a meet and greet before any booking if you would like to see how your dog gets on. I can also easily accommodate separate walks for your dog if you prefer. I want to make your pet feel like this is their home from home so if they have any special requests to make them feel comfortable then please feel free to ask 😁 I’m back from university so I’m available most days, including weekends. I will also be taking care of my own dog when my parents are at work, so I have plenty of time to spend with your dog. I can easily accommodate a dog crate, if your dog is happiest sleeping there. I have a medium-sized fenced garden and live close to Bootham park and the river for nice walks. Your dog is welcome on the sofa and my priority is making them welcome and comfortable.

“Needed a reliable dog walker the last minute and Jonny replied straight away. Willow was very happy to meet him,and thoroughly enjoyed her walk with him. He had also fed Willow for me. Jonny is a friendly mature man. 100% reliable and trustworthy. Will be contacting Jonny again. Many thanks for such professionalism.”

About: I work in education, have a current DBS, and live with my husband and children. We have previously had an indoor cat and have used the cat in a flat service before when we were away. We felt it was just as good as a cattery, and he had his own space and was calmer being at home. I have recently started to find opportunities to volunteer and work with cats which I am thoroughly enjoying.

About: I have had pets since I was 10 years old. I have had cats, dogs and kittens and also rabbits. I have experience looking after people’s kittens/cats/senior cats and also puppies/adult dogs and senior dogs. I have medication administration experience as our old senior cat had medical conditions which required medication. I love looking after furbabies to ensure their individual needs are being met taking into consideration their different personalities. I currently work a 9-5 job Monday to Friday but I am free evenings and over the weekend. Over the weekend I am more flexible to look after pets in my own home, take them for walks and do drop in sessions. I can also offer dog walking/ drop in sessions in the evening after work hours. I have a fenced backyard for your furbaby and I am a 5 minute walk away from a field. I am available to meet up prior to a sit/walk or drop in so I am able to meet you and your furbaby so you can assess who is going to look after your family member.

“The dogs had such a great time today and Octavia was a life saver for a long day in the office for us. She looked after them so well and made sure they got their treat and a full water bowl when they got back in this warm weather. Cannot recommend enough!”

“Lucy is fab. Great comms, super thoughtful and just a lovely person. She was super nice about a few last minute changes. I look forward to booking with Lucy again.”

About: I have always loved animals and was lucky enough to get my first dog this year called Callie. I’ve looked after friend’s dogs for long periods of time. My partner and I both work from home. We have a lovely sized garden perfect for a dog. We also love walks particularly as we have many scenic dog friendly parks nearby. I have a fenced garden and a young cockapoo called Callie! Callie is friendly, loving and completed puppy training classes. She is well trained and gets along well with other dogs.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. For the past decade, I’ve owned and cared for more specialized pets like ferrets, which has given me a deep understanding of patience, attentiveness, and individualized care. I especially love dogs and have experience training puppies as well as caring for senior dogs who need a little extra gentleness and support. From high-energy youngsters to calm, elderly companions, I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s unique personality and needs. No dog feels unfamiliar to me, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'm available most (if not all) days of the week currently and have plenty of time in my day to care for your loving pet. I'll care for your pet in your own home to your standards and instructions including play, treats, and meals. I can also care for them in my home, but have only a limited terraced garden space for them to play outside (my home is big for roaming, for more indoor inclined dogs).

About: Since the age of 11 I've been taking care of 2 very cheeky, active springer spaniels. I believe that pets are a part of the family. All of my friends are pet professionals and I myself work for a pet microchipping database, focusing on animal welfare. My office is animal friendly and full of treats, beds, and toys. I excel in keeping your pets active while they're with me, plus I can facilitate some level of training through my pet professional connections. Since I can bring pets to my place of work I have availability for any mid-week doggy daycare and boarding. I also have 2 work from home days (generally Tuesday's and Friday's) where I could take better care of pets with more need (say they have to go to the bathroom more frequently). Weekend are more difficult however I'm often doing large hikes on weekends 3/6 hours long, I do these generally with my pet professional friends so there are many experienced hands in deck waiting to get involved. My work from home days can be changed and other amendments can be discussed. I have a garden with a high fence running all the way around. I don't have any pets in my house so no need to worry about conflicts and your animal would never be left alone in the house, either I will be at home with them or they will be at my place of work with me. My area in York has lots of paths for walking pets away from the main road to keep them safe.

About: I have had dog all my life. At the moment I currently have 4 dogs. I also helped out in kennels in Tenerife last year. I am full time. Limited availability on Wednesday and Thursdays as I am at university but this can be done online if I am pet sitting. I will come round for a meet and greet to make sure me and your fur baby get along great. I also take veterinary details in case of an emergency. I will keep doors, gates, windows secure. I will be round all hours to make sure they are happy and looked after.

“Leah is so lovely and amazing with Penny!”

“Great service from Alicia. Billy was very happy dog. Thank you.”

“I was staying in York for a week and Georgia and / or her partner Will took my dog for a walk each morning. It's a huge leap of faith to hand your dog over to someone you don't know, in a city that you don't live in but they both brilliant. Quick to respond to the booking, and flexible when both traffic and meetings meant we had to move the 2 of the booking times. They were prompt, friendly, kind, so knowledgeable and brilliant with my one year old cavapoo. I would wholeheartedly recommend them and will be calling on them again when I come back next year.”

“My staffie, Callie, loved her walks with Jenny! She took to her at our meet and greet prior to confirming the booking and was excited to go out with her when she saw her at the door. Jenny was really friendly, flexible and helpful, she also kindly spent a little time having a natter with my Mum when dropping Callie off at the end of the walks. I received lots of lovely pics and videos of Callie out on her walks as well and detailed information as to where they’d been and what they had been up to on their walks. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had dogs for most of my life and would love to get one now, but this isn’t possible for me at the moment. So I have decided to look after other people’s dogs to get my puppy fix!! I have experience training my families dogs from puppy age and know exactly what a dog can and can’t do/have. I would treat any dog as my own, giving it exactly what it needs, whether that’s lots of cuddles and walks or just a place for some rest. I usually have a busy schedule with work, however I always have a day off in the week and every other weekend off. I would work around whatever times & dates are needed, making sure that your dog gets the best possible care! I live in a flat, however there is a big field next to where I live and I have a car, so I would be able to drive to any good walking spots as well! Please let me know of any requirements your dog may have, so I can give your dog the best care possible!

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 whilst their mum or dad are away. 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.

“Emma is a very personable young lady who is very confident and capable with handling dogs. She has a relaxed and friendly approach with owners and has quickly achieved a happy rapport with our excitable and cuddlesome 2year old girl. Our Staffy Misty gives her a warm welcome and likes to be next to her and brings her toys for play. Most importantly Misty is comfortable with and happy to be with Emma. We will be using Emma whenever she is available and Misty needs home sitting. Emma provides a responsible and reliable able service at all times.”

“Diane is lovely, as is her partner Matt. We met ahead of the walk to do an intro with Lola and it’s clear they have a love for animals.”
