House Sitting in Richmondshire

“It was a big deal for us to leave Flash for 3 nights,even though he had already met Jamie a couple of times. But Jamie arrived before we left to go through things and we had regular updates from him all the time we were away. We arrived home to a happy settled dog who wasn't even bothered that we'd been away.”

“Jeanette was absolutely FANTASTIC with my girls, I actually don't think they wanted us to come home after the week they had with her haha! She even made them their own little Sunday dinner with a yorkie, and they absolutely loved it. I got regular updates with photos on where they were going and how they'd been that day, which was incredibly reassuring, especially this was my first experience using a dog sitter I didn't personally know. I would love to use Jeanette again, and I'm certain Patchie and Lucy would too! To add to the already fantastic experience, Jeanette was kind enough to do the rest of our washing, which was genuinely such a massive help. Overall 12/10, fantastic lady! xx”

“Strudel immediately responded to her calm presence and was very well looked after. Very responsive, friendly and warm. We were especially grateful for the understanding when we were slightly delayed due to a concert overrun. Highly recommend!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, ducks, chickens, and horses. I’ve done pet and house sitting for a variety of animals, and I always treat them with the same care and love I would my own. I recently graduated from the University of York and am currently taking a break before starting work, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to looking after pets and making sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for in their own home. I’m fully available at the moment while taking a break after uni, so I can easily fit pet care into my day - whether it’s short-notice bookings, longer house sits, or anything in between. I’m flexible with timing and can adapt to your pet’s usual routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I only offer pet care in the owner’s home, where pets feel most safe and comfortable in their usual routine. I always follow your instructions closely, keep things clean and secure, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. I treat every home with respect and keep you updated while you’re away, so you can relax knowing everything’s in good hands.

About: Hi! I’m someone who truly understands how much our pets mean to us — they’re part of the family. With four dogs and two cats of my own, I’m no stranger to the routines, personalities, and little quirks that make each pet unique. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are happy and safe while you're away. While I completely understand that kennels have their place, I also know they’re not for everyone. Some pets feel more relaxed staying in a familiar environment or with someone who treats them like their own. That’s where I come in — offering kind, reliable, and stress-free care that’s tailored to your pet’s needs and personality. Whether it’s cuddles on the sofa, playtime in the garden, or just someone to keep their routine ticking along, I’m here to help. I work from home as an Independent Travel Agent so my business can go anywhere with me. I have no restrictions as my husband will be looking after our own pets. As long as you have WiFi available, then I have no restrictions I will care for your pets as per your requirements. You are in control even when you are not there . Daily updates will be sent

“Tim was punctual, communicated clearly and obviously understands dogs. Our dog appeared to have a great day with Tim. We returned after a wedding to find Tim asleep on the couch with Roxy asleep on him.”

About: With extensive experience caring for my sister's dogs, Apollo and Bec, I understand what it takes to be a dedicated pet sitter. From daily walks and playtime to attentive care, I've developed the skills needed to keep pets happy and healthy. I'll bring this same level of devoted attention and enthusiasm to caring for your beloved pet. I'm available most days to provide dedicated attention to your pet, including walks and interactive playtime with their favourite toys. I believe in giving pets my full attention, ensuring they receive plenty of affection and cuddles to keep them happy and content throughout our time together. Your dog will have a wonderful time playing in our fully fenced garden. For added security, the garden gate is always kept locked, and I provide constant supervision during outdoor playtime. While our friendly dog Apollo shares the space, he typically keeps to himself, ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for your pet.

About: Hello we are Robyn & Mick, a very active and flexible married couple who are dog crazy and between us we have around 12 years experience with dogs. From a young age, I had a 10 year old Pug Gertie, she had extensive medical issues, i.e keeping up with medication, her back, hips and legs was not fully fit, but she was still a happy and very looked after dog until we unfortunately lost her early this year. We now have a very active Cockapoo called Barry, he is 2 years old, he was toilet trained by 10 weeks and is a very well behaved young boy with a lovely temperament, who loves welcoming other doggos into our home for play dates and stop overs. Barry is extremely soft and great with other dogs and this reflects in our numerous reviews of dog owners that have trusted us to look after their precious pets. We both currently work full time, but have the ability to take pets into the work place in which is very dog friendly and safe, and have the flexibility to return home as and when, living in the same location we work. Your pet will never be left alone for a prolonged period of time. Whilst pets are in our care, they will be located in a gated environment. We also have access to a gated local nation trail, called the foxglove, just a 5 minute walk from our home. We also have the means to fit an Apple AirTag to pets collar/harness should owners require this as an extra safety measure.

“Thanks to Elise I was able to leave the house without any fuss from OB & Alice. This was the first time I’ve left them with a pet sitter and I was delighted to see that they had such a good time in my absence. We look forward to leaving them in the care of Elise again soon”

“Madison has been outstanding from the start. She asked insightful questions to understand Chica's behavior, kept us informed with messages, videos, and photos, and demonstrated excellence both personally and professionally.”

“Olivia was fantastic with our two boys. She took the time to come and visit them before the booking and asked loads of questions to make sure she was able to care for them the best she could. Olivia stayed in contact throughout giving us updates on the boys. She ensured both boys went on walks even though one of them is tricky on a lead and can be reactive. They both seemed to love her partner. I would definitely book again!”

“It's such a relief to find a dog sitter as good as Emily. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care, and more importantly my dog is also relaxed in her company. I really appreciate the updates during our booking. Highly recommend.”

“Abbie was amazing! Came over and met Chester beforehand and wasn’t fazed! She took amazing care and went above and beyond with him. Left the house in perfect condition. I’d definitely recommend Abbie and we will 100% be in touch again. Thank you :)”

About: I’ve had a bunch of dogs over the years, and I’ve had them since I was a kid. I had a German Shepherd, a Beagle, a Border Collie, a Weimaraner, a cockapoo, and most recently, a Cavapoo named Gus. I’ve taken my dogs from the time they were just 8 weeks old, all the way through puppy school and advanced classes, and even dog agility. My cavapoo had health problems and he required a lot of care, medication and treatments, I’ve learned a lot about this side of caring and understand the critical aspects of care that people may often forget. I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and have the whole weekend free. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I’m in Cambridge, traveling on a Monday night and coming back on Wednesday night. Since I work from home, I’m happy to take care of any pets or walk them during the day, in the evenings, overnight, or on weekends. Just let me know! Unfortunately my home is under construction so unable to provide services where pets come to my house, however this will change in the coming months, however I’m very happy to care for them in your property and will treat it with the highest amount of respect. I also drive so I’m very happy to take them on longer nature walks, and give them the space and freedom to play and enjoy a nice walk. I will ensure the highest levels of safety for your pets in the environments that you have set up yourself, understand needs of each circumstance and ensure you come home to a very happy friend.

“Kelly stayed overnight while we attended my daughter’s wedding, I was really scared letting a stranger stay overnight but after meeting her ,Kelly was lovely and we had no hesitation letting her stay in our home overnight to look after my fur babies. She kept us updated how to dogs were and it put me at ease, When we arrived home our dogs where happy and content like they had fun while we were away. I would recommend kelly to anyone and would definitely use her again.”

“I have been very impressed with Karolina’s professionalism and also her clear passion for dogs. She took to my 3 straight away as they did her. On the day, poor Karolina had a few challenges to deal with and she was brilliant. Massively put my mind at ease considering I couldn’t get back to her to help. I highly recommend Karolina.”
