Pet 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.

“Ewan was friendly and quick to respond when booking a drop in visit for our Labrador. He tailored the drop in to our dog's needs and left a detailed report on the visit with lots of photos! Thank you for your help!”

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.

“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: 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.

“Sophie was fantastic, really good communication, punctual and respectful of our home. Pip took to her instantly and was very happy when we got home. Would definitely book her again”

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 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.

“Was quick to answer a last minute booking and was amazing with our puppy. Took some lovely photos and kept me updated. Would definitely book again!”

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: 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.

About: Having grown up with different breeds and owning a three-legged rescue dog who required additional care and training, I have developed a strong understanding of the individual needs and personalities of dogs. This experience has given me patience, confidence, and the ability to adapt to different temperaments, routines, and care requirements. I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment. I can work remotely during the week and have availability over weekends, which allows me to have more flexible and cater the individual pet's needs. My priority is creating a safe, trusting environment where pets feel secure and loved. I treat every animal as an individual — paying attention to their personality, comfort levels, and any special needs. Pet parents can relax knowing their pets are cared for with patience, consistency, and genuine affection.
