Pet Boarding Rawcliffe

About: I have been around dogs for most of my life and love getting out for walks and enjoy the companionship that we can give each other. I currently have my own dog, Poppy, who is nearly 12. She still loves her walks and snuggling up next to me. I have experience of looking after family and friend’s dogs in my home and in their own home. I currently work full-time Monday to Friday term time as a teaching assistant. I am available on weekends and during school holidays so have plenty of time to look after you pooch. I am more than happy to take your dog for a walk, this is something I could even fit in after work. I would like to look after your dog in my home, or in their own home, whatever is best for the dog and you. I live in a semi- detached house with a fenced garden at the back in a beautiful village. There are plenty of lovely walks nearby in local woods/ fields. I also love exploring so am more than happy to walk your dog in its own familiar area if it has a favourite place to go. I have experience of looking after family and friend’s dogs in my own home and also in their own home. I thoroughly enjoyed having the dogs in their own environment, exploring their area on walks.

About: We are a couple in our mid twenties with a love of all dogs! We have experience with many dogs including rescues, dogs that have special needs or anxiety, and senior dogs. Always make sure you provide us clear instructions of care if your dog requires special medical needs. We have cared for dogs who experience regular fits/seizures, and require pills with their feeds. We have also cared for a few senior dogs - we know when dogs needs to take it a little easier on their feet so please do tell us how many walks they require or what their limit is x I currently work full time however I am fortunate to work from home for half of the week. The days I work from home are usually Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. We can board dogs overnight anytime from 1pm onwards on those days, with pick up in the mornings/afternoons next day. You can expect your fur baby to get 2 walks the day they board and a walk the following morning. We are fortunate to have good dog walking paths near our door and if your dog is a good traveller in the car we know a lovely secure field for socialising. We have a little lurcher of our own who absolutely loves meeting new friends. She is very playful girl and loves playing with her toys inside even when I am working I always have time to give cuddles and provide indoor activities. I will give a good walk during my lunch break and another good walk after 5pm. We have a lurcher of our own. She was a rescue from the rspca having been abandoned in a park :( our girl has a lot of anxiety but with the warmth, attention and care we give her, she settled in in no time. We will treat every dog with the exact same care and attention as if they were our own. We start our days with a morning walk then bring them home for a morning feed and some downtime. They will get an afternoon walk and then another feed if you require - just let us know their normal routine and feeds and we will stick to that so they ease in nicely! They will get a small evening stroll before settling into the night. We provide a number of toys and indoor activities between walks too so they never have a dull moment. If your dog loves to curl up after walks we have 2 dog beds, and sofas they can rest on, or if they are like our Poppet they can curl up in front of the heater.

“Rasa looked after our 3 cocker spaniels for 2 weeks in October 2025 - we striggled to find anyone who would take all 3 dogs but we immediately felt at ease with Rasa and our girls looked very happy. She followed our feeding instructions clearly and gave them a warm and relaxing home with lots of cuddles and lots of walks. She kept us updated with photos whilst we were away and our girls seemed very happy when we collected them - Nellie didn't really look as though she wanted to come home! Would highly recommend.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jane looked after my dog, Kobe, for two full days and one night. I couldn’t be happier with the care she gave him. From the moment we met, she was friendly, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. Kobe was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after when I picked him up. He had an enjoyable time with her very well behaved two dogs and cat, gizmo. It was obvious that Jane genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and I really appreciated the updates and the attention she gave him. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Kobe with her again and would highly recommend Jane to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you Jane, you are fantastic!”

“Our first time using Helen and she was fantastic; her communication and professionalism were apparent from the outset, as was her warmth and caring nature. Our retriever was grumpy when he got home which shows he’d rather have stayed with her 🤣”

“Lovely boarder and environment for our dog to stay ; regular updates and photos were much appreciated. We would be very happy to have our dog stay there again ☺️”

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.

“Maddie was super patient with our 3 month old puppy, Haribo. This was a booking made on extremely short notice due to a last minute cancellation by another sitter, and so we were extremely lucky that Maddie agreed to take him in for 2 nights. Moreover, she took the time to meet him before the booking and immediately put my and my husband's minds at ease. Haribo was definitely well-taken care of. She was very keen on sticking to his routines, was very caring and affectionate towards him. She took him to the dog park, watched Bluey with him, snuggled with him on the sofa, and took him out regularly. He had accidents but Maddie was so understanding about everything. Haribo def had the time of his life and is a happy pup 😍 we have requested another booking with her because she's amazing!”

“We really appreciate Michael helping us out after an emergency meant we needed somebody urgently. He was brilliant with our nervous lab, knew when to encourage him and when to give him some space and we couldn't be more grateful.”

“Bethany was excellent from the moment she met Gravy, very pleasant house, and Bethany kept us updated with regular photos! Would highly recommend!”

Kris P.

“Melanie took great care of Buckley for the night on quite short notice, great communication and sent us cute photos of him during the stay which assured us our wee guy was in good hands. He must of really loved his stay as when I went to collect him the next day he was begging to follow Melanie back to her flat! Recommended highly and will definitely book in the future if we ever need a dog sitter! ??”

“Femke was lovely and Georgie really enjoyed staying with her and she even bathed him when her got muddy on a walk. We met her beforehand, which was great for reassurance. Would definitely use her again.”

Ashley H.

“Georgia is fabulous. She has an obvious love for animals and knows how they tick. She managed Rufus really well with all his little foibles! I would not hesitate to rebook”

About: I've loved and taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember, part of a dog loving family and after looking for a pet sitter for our dog and not finding someone who truly loved and cared for him Like an dog mama and not just a pet sitter, I decided this was the calling for me. I am the type of person who would greet the dog before the owner! My promise is to love and care for your dog like its my own fur baby making him or her feel spoilt and truly cared for. No morning is better than waking up to dog kisses!! I currently work part time but your dog will never be left any longer than 4hrs in total. Well walked before I go to work and well walked after I come home, I will leave licky mats and Kong toys to play with while I am gone. I have a secure fenced garden with a beautiful friendly cocker spaniel named Albie. We have lots of walks around our home with being on the outskirts of York in a little village. All dogs are allowed full run of the house with access to the sofas and the beds!! Sleeping on the beds is always allowed.

“Tom was great with our dog over Christmas. Local to us so our dog was very happy and settled in well. It was clear the stay went extremely well and we recommend tom, no hesitation. Will certainly go back next time. Thank you Tom.”

“Neil has been absolutely amazing. Dottie loved her stay and went on so many adventures! Neil kindly updated me every single day with how she was getting on which was lovely. We will 100% recommend Neil and will certainly be using him in the future.”

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.

“This was our first time using Liv and Rover and it was great. Liv was so lovely and keen to find out about Loki before his stay. She took wonderful care of him and kept us up to date with photos while we were away. Loki had a great time and enjoyed the attention and cuddles. Thanks Liv! Would definitely recommend 😊”

“Rocko and Fred had the best time with Octavia, they seemed very at home when we went to pick them up and we would happily leave them with her again. Had so much more piece of mind that they were having a nice time and being well looked after rather than being at a kennel. Very friendly and accommodating with arranging a meet up before the booking, and our late pickup time after a flight. Kept us up to date with plenty of photos of them making friends with her own dog ?”
