House Sitting Ripon

“If you want someone to take the best care of your pet and your home, I could not recommend Abi highly enough. My rescue lurcher, Jack, is extremely fearful of strangers and Abi went above and beyond to make Jack comfortable. She met him before we went away, and I knew that she would be a perfect match to care for him- Abi is respectful and read his body language perfectly. Abi sent regular updates throughout her stay, and walked Jack frequently. She followed all of my instructions perfectly and I came back to a happy and relaxed dog. Abi was also super flexible when it came to my family members dropping Jack with her and picking him up. Abi left my home beautifully tidy, too! Thank you so much for everything, Abi- you are tremendous! We hope that you can care for our Jack again in the future.”

About: I’ve dog sat before and really enjoy caring for dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have a cocker spaniel and a Labrador puppy. I am friendly, responsible and have flexible hours, and I’ll always treat your dog like my own. I am available every day with flexible hours as I have recently graduated from University. I can be flexible around your schedule and accommodate different times and routines to take care of your dog. I’ll make sure your dog feels safe and comfortable in their own home. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, water, routines and any specific needs. I’ll keeps doors and gates secure, supervise your dog throughout my visit and leave your home clean and secure when I leave.

“Emma is such a star for our family. We feel so at peace when we leave our dogs with her. Even during a heat wave she’s so good to them and keeps us updated with details. Couldn’t be more grateful to have found her!”

“Yet again, Amber has been absolutely incredible! She has gone above and beyond for my little boy and really took great care of him. We were super worried as it was first time we were away from our puppy overnight, however Amber has made him feel comfortable, cared and loved! I would 100% recommend her services! The genuine love for animals truly shows in everything that she does!”

“Ruth was friendly, thorough, approachable and very kind and caring with our two Shih Tzu dogs, she looked after them in our home for a long weekend and nothing was too much trouble. Both dogs loved her and her enthusiasm. She ensured that they had a good daily walk with some time to enjoy grassy areas too, and ensured that they ate a varied diet, even though it meant her having to chop up fruit and vegetables to add to sliced meat. The dogs were relaxed in her company and both looked clean, brushed and happy upon our return. We received daily updates and photos on what our pups had been up to during the day, including food, exercise and playing with toys. Our home was well looked after and respected. We would not hesitate to recommend Ruth, and we would happily use her again. Thank you Ruth.”

Keith & Suzy D.

“Courtney was wonderful! Id highly recommend her if you need someone who clearly cares for animals and loves spending time with them. She looked after our golden retriever overnight and he was calm and content when we returned. She sent us photos and updates throughout the visit too. Will definitely use her again! Thank you!”

“Sophie is such a great find! She kindly popped in to meet Emily (our 14 year old Shih Tzu!) a few days before her first doggy sitting day. Emily totally took to her and they had a lovely time hanging out. Would highly recommend any day!!”

About: Me and my partner regularly care for dogs for friends, family and family friends. Experienced with different breeds, routines, feeding, walks and giving them a safe, loving home. I work Monday to Friday, 7:30am–4:30pm, so I only accept bookings that suit my availability. This allows me to give every dog the time, care, and attention they deserve. We have a secure, fenced, good-sized garden for safe outdoor time and play. Your dog will be supervised, well cared for, and treated like part of our family.

About: The Pawfect Getaway. Now taking bookings for four legged guests into 2027 I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs as part of my own family. Over the years I’ve shared my home with working Cocker Spaniels, Springer Spaniels and Labradors, so I’m very familiar with both energetic breeds and those who enjoy a steadier pace as they mature. Living with dogs has taught me the importance of consistency, patience and understanding each dog’s individual personality. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, enrichment, and quiet companionship — not just exercise, but genuine care and presence. I also have experience administering medication, including tablets and routine treatments, and I’m happy to follow clear instructions to ensure your dog’s health needs are met properly and calmly. What Sets Me Apart Your dog would be cared for in my own home, not a kennel or busy multi-dog environment. I offer one-to-one care, meaning your dog gets my full attention and is treated as an individual, not part of a crowd. I take time to understand and maintain your dog’s existing routines — feeding times, walks, sleeping arrangements and any special habits — so they feel settled and secure while you’re away. Familiar routines make a world of difference to a dog’s happiness and wellbeing. I provide a quiet, relaxed, home-from-home environment, ideal for dogs who prefer calm company, personal attention, and a predictable day. My aim is always that your dog feels safe, comfortable and genuinely cared for — and that you can enjoy your time away with real peace of mind. Exclusive Perk: Secure Field Playtime! 🐾 Does your dog love to run full-speed but needs a completely safe space to do so? When your four legged friend stays with me, I can arrange and facilitate exclusive access to a fully grassed, securely fenced, and entirely safe private field. For 50 minutes of pure, uninterrupted fun, your dog will have the entire area all to themselves to sprint, sniff, and play to their heart's content—without any outside distractions or worries! It is the ultimate energy burner and a wonderful luxury for high-energy or reactive dogs who thrive with a bit of extra space. Please note that an additional fee applies for each field session. If you would love for your furry friend to enjoy this private playground experience during their stay, please enquire at the time of booking so we can secure their slot! Pet care fits very comfortably into my daily routine as I am retired and at home all day. This means your dog will have constant companionship and supervision, rather than being left alone for long periods. I’m able to structure my day around your dog’s usual routine, including regular walks, feeding times, medication if required, play, and plenty of rest. Being at home allows me to give unhurried, one-to-one attention, respond quickly to your dog’s needs, and provide reassurance throughout the day. Whether your dog enjoys activity or prefers a quieter pace, I can adapt the day to suit them while keeping things familiar and calm. My aim is to offer a consistent, home-from-home experience, so your dog feels settled, secure, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I care for pets in a calm, structured, and attentive way, always treating them as individuals. When caring for dogs in my own home, I provide a safe, relaxed, home-from-home environment with plenty of supervision and one-to-one attention. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, maintaining established routines for feeding, walks, rest, play, and medication, as consistency is key to helping dogs feel secure. I take time to understand a pet’s personality, preferences, and any health or behavioural needs. I’m experienced with energetic breeds as well as dogs who prefer a quieter pace, and I adapt care accordingly. I ensure dogs are never left for long periods and always have companionship, comfort, and reassurance. When caring for pets in my home, I respect and follow the same careful approach — sticking closely to the pet’s normal routine, keeping their environment familiar, and providing calm, dependable care. My priority in every situation is the pet’s wellbeing, comfort, and safety, and giving owners genuine peace of mind while they’re away.

“Eleanor did an amazing job looking after Fruit when we were off getting married 💓 incredibly attentive and sent plenty of pictures, as well as keeping up with Fruit’s playful nature. I’d definitely recommend Eleanor as she is such a soothing presence and you can tell instantly that she cares so much about your pet. 10/10 and thank you once again!”

“Halle was very calm and immediately focused on our dogs which is super important to us. She was communicative, on time and we’d definitely ask her to stay again,”

Catherine W.

“Helene kan anbefales på det varmeste. Hun er voksen, hyggelig, holder avtaler og var veldig flink med min hund. Hun sendte meg oppdateringer med bilder, noe som var svært betryggende for meg. Jeg vil gjerne ha Helene som hundepasser igjen om jeg får anledning.”

“Volodymyr is an interesting man with a very calm personality which suited our energetic Staffy-Cross well. He gave us regular 'pupdates' and followed our instructions to the letter. He also left the house immaculately tidy (actually even tidier than he found it). Would certainly recommend his services.”

Sonja T.

“Heidi and Alf have just spent a week with Bev and they absolutely loved it! After a ‘getting to know you visit’ a few weeks before their stay, the day of their holiday they jumped straight out of the car and ran to her door, just delighted to see her again. Bev is friendly, kind and the dogs loved her. Heidi is a Bernese, so she is big and she struggles in the hot weather, but Bev handled her brilliantly. She sent regular updates and photos. I thoroughly recommend her and Heidi and Alf will definitely be back again. ❤️”

Claire C.

“Steve and Sandra took the time to visit us and meet our dogs a few times before our holiday. This was very reassuring as it is the first time our dogs have been left with a sitter. Steve and Sandra were keen to follow our usual routine and Martha + Lottie have been very well looked after. They sent updates while we were away, so that we knew everything was going well. While we were away there were strong winds, Steve and Sandra did a great job of clearing debris from our lawn. The house was also left spotlessly clean and tidy.”

“Jordan was excellent at looking after our two dachshunds, one of which has a disability and therefore his needs are quite particular. It was a long day, 6.30am - 8pm house sit but Jordan patient and kind and was able to keep us posted throughout the day. Both dogs were happy and took to Jordan really well. 100% would have her back for another house sit.”

“Maggie is a very elderly dog and we a bit nervous about leaving her but we needn't have worried. Mike was fantastic and we wouldn't hesitate to book him again.”
