Cat Sitting in Richmondshire

“We had our boys in a cattery in November which was a bit of a traumatic experience for them both. From the moment Olivia and her partner Chris met our cats on a home visit prior to our booking, we knew our beloved fuzzy freeloaders would be well taken care of. From twice daily updates with photos and text messages we were kept constantly up to date on how our cats were being cared for in our home. I can honestly say we've never felt more at ease and confident that we'd made the right decision. I would wholeheartedly recommend Olivia to anyone as a pet sitter, fantastic care and utterly trustworthy. We will be using her services again .”

“Laura has cared for my dogs several times now, they love her. One of them requires regular medication and she's not had any problems administering that. She also sent regular photos updates that we really enjoyed seeing while we were away.”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life, which has led me to dedicate my education to animal and equine sciences. Their welfare has always been my top priority, and I have experience working with a variety of equines, dogs and cats, owning one of each! I have been trusted to take care of friends' and neighbours' animals many times. I am currently studying at University, making me very flexible and able to cater to all animal and owner needs. I am currently studying Equine Therapy and Rehabilitation at university, so I have full availability from Fridays through to Mondays. So, having a weekend away? Why not get in touch I am very adaptable to all types of personalities, needs and requirements and can cater for all and I have particular experience working with nervous dogs. I understand leaving a pet in the care of someone else is always nerve-wracking, but will provide a safe and trustworthy environment to allow your dog to thrive.

About: I’ve never been without a dog throughout my life, and we’ve always been happy to host friends pups as well :) I’m a lover of long walks out in nature and cuddles on the sofa (probably why my lurcher and I get along so well), although I’m happy to spend the time doing whatever takes your furry friends fancy. I’ve looked after friends and family’s dogs for over 5 years and have experience with horses and other farm animals. I work daily from 0830 till 1630 but usually have a long lunch, start late Mondays and finish early Fridays. I’m available the majority of weekends, if your dog needs lots of exercise we should be quick friends heading out for longer walks or runs. Equally I can enjoy a spin around the block on a slower day. I’ll look after your pet in the comforts of their own home, respecting yours and their space and ensuring that it stays tidy and clean for your return home.

“All great. Would recommend Brian, caring with the dog and they seem to have lots of fun together while I'm in work!! Would recommend Brian.”

“Maxine looks after my labradoodle Bear on a regular basis, he absolutely loves going there! She is a superstar, it’s so comforting to know that Bear is being looked after very responsibly, I never worry at all when he’s with her. He gets fantastic long walks and is very much loved in her household, he is treated like part of the family. I would highly recommend Maxine - you won’t get a better dog sitter!”

“So glad I discovered Kelly. My cat, Barry, and I instantly bonded with her. I got some lovely and amusing updates, with some great photos. I think Barry took a real shine to her & was subsequently quite disappointed to see me walk through the door upon my return. Kelly was happy to stay over her allotted time to make sure Barry had everything he needed. Communication has been great. Really happy with the service provided. I have already rebooked Kelly & have no issues in using her again if required in the future…..I know Barry will be delighted 😀”

“Made sure our cats were not anxious, sat with them and gave love. Cleared up messes they made in the house. Brilliant care”

“Judith stayed with my two cats for three nights while we were away. She was very accommodating to their needs and even met them before hand to do a meet and greet to discuss their care needs which was really helpful. She kept me updated as to how they were doing and sent pictures which put my mind at ease. Thank you so much for looking after the boys, we will definitely book again in the future☺️”

“Great”

About: I’ve always loved animals and had my own family dogs and cats my whole life! I’m currently studying veterinary physiotherapy at uni hoping to go onto a career with dogs and horses. I’ve also completed a canine first aid course as part of my degree :) Currently i’m home from uni until October, I work part time on a horseracing yard but can fit my hours around bookings and therefore be flexible to suit your dogs needs :) I can offer your pets lots of cuddles and care for them however you prefer. I have doggy seatbelts for my car if needed but equally happy to walk them around their home area!

About: Starting early, I did work experience in a kennels and animal sanctuary at school and progressed on to Animal Care college at 16. Since then I've had my own animals from dogs to cats, chickens to rats...and looked after many others from dog walking to overnight stays. A qualified teacher now enjoying a slower pace of life! I'm self employed and work as a Jewellery designer and tutor so I am very flexible. I live in a beautiful area away from too many people and traffic. I'm a huge nature fan so I walk every day with my own dog and would love to have more company of the furry variety to enjoy my strolls! I have a 3 year old Border Collie who we had as a puppy from the dogs trust. We also have two cats, a Gecko and three chickens. We live on a private woodland estate. I work self employed so I'm flexible with timings however early mornings are tricky due to school runs. I generally work in my studio from 11-4 but again, I'm flexible. I have a Collie who you could say is spoilt, however I would say he's loved to bits! I also have two cats, one 14 and one 7 as well as 8 hens and 5 cockerels. Huge animal lover who prefers animals to people! 🤣

“I have known Leigh since childhood and animals have been in her life since I met her. She has shared a home with lots of different animals and various types of dog breeds. She is gentle and natural with dogs and they are drawn to her good nature. Her working career has included animal care which shows how passionate she is about it. She would be an excellent choice for any dog owner.”

“I can highly recommend Emily as a reliable, responsible lady who loves animals. She has cared for my dogs and cat who adore her..she has an animal loving personality which is great to see. I trust her and don’t hesitate to give her a glowing reference.”

“Imogen is a caring and loving person towards animals. She treats them with respect and kindness, she is a very compassionate person towards animals. I would not have a problem asking Imogen to take care of my pet because I know she would treat them very well.”

“Jack and Abby looked after our cat. They were fantastic. Our cat is an indoor cat and hasn't been around dogs before but Callie was great with ginge. Although our cat hid away Jack Abby did all they could to make him feel comfortable. We got pictures and a video of his stay. We will definitely use Jack and Abby again. Thanks guys.”

About: Being a dog owner of 16 years to my boys, Pedro the Bichon and Max the chocolate lab, has enabled me to build skills in looking after dogs of all ages and sizes. I am currently working part time freelance, which means I currently have a very flexible schedule, and can sometimes be booked at very short notice. I have a fenced garden for your dogs to run around and do their business at any time. I will be available to your dogs needs throughout the duration of their stay and will always be given attention.

“Megan is warm and friendly with a calm demeanour. She has had pets all her life, for the last few years she has given time to friends and family looking after their pets, whilst on holiday. From Guinea pigs to dogs all pets welcome x”

“Can’t thank Jane and Lee enough. This was our first holiday abroad since adopting Bobby so we were extremely nervous however Jane and Lee made us feel at ease. They came to meet Bobby before we went away to find out what they needed to know and this really helped with our worries about going on holiday. Jane and Lee are professional, reliable, friendly and it’s clear they have lots of experience. I felt confident that Bobby was going to be in safe hands. Communication was great from start to finish and we got daily updates with photos. Bobby seemed very settled and happy in Jane and Lee’s company. I would definitely recommend Jane and Lee, it was a fantastic service.”

“Very friendly & efficient. Kept me updated with pictures at every drop in session. Barry the cat got a lot of attention and seems very happy. Would definitely use Charlotte again.”
