Cat Sitting in Ryedale

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and was already walking, feeding and caring for them from around 9–10 years old, so I count that as part of my experience alongside what I do now professionally. Ive naturally become the person people rely on when they need help with their pets. I now run my own pet care business, so this is something I do properly, not just casually. I focus on keeping pets in their usual routine and environment so they feel as settled and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’m fully insured, DBS checked, and currently working towards further professional qualifications, as well as preparing to offer licensed boarding. I’m calm, patient and used to different personalities — whether that’s energetic dogs or more nervous ones — and I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, cuddles and reassurance while they’re with me. I treat them like they’re my own and aim to keep everything as easy and stress-free as possible. References are always available if you’d like them. I structure my days around the pets I’m caring for, so they’re never just “fit in.” I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I keep my routine light so I can give plenty of time, attention, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. I’ll always work around your dog’s usual routine so everything feels familiar and calm for them 🩶 I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, and all their little quirks, so I can care for them properly and keep things calm and consistent. I stay attentive, notice small changes, and make sure everything runs smoothly while you’re away. You’ll always get clear updates, so you know they’re happy and well cared for 🩶

“When we met Louise we knew she would be a great fit for looking after our cat. Super friendly, warm and passionate about animals. We felt at ease knowing she would be giving lots of affection and playtime to our little one when we were away and we weren’t disappointed. We’ve booked her in for a house sit in the summer too! Many thanks 🙏”

About: Hi! I’m Daisy and I have had my own pet care business for several years, pausing it to go back to university. I have a lot of spare time alongside my studies so would like to fill it with doing what I love and miss from having my business. I have extensive experience of all kinds of breeds and temperaments and great references. I have a background in veterinary care and trained veterinary emergency care. Happy to accommodate all pet personalities and especially experienced with reactive dogs. I’m very flexible and free most days and times. Just give me a message to discuss availability. Happy to work adhoc or more of a regular service. I’m experienced with pets of varying temperaments, especially reactive dogs due to working a lot with rescues. I appreciate everyone’s pets have their own personalities so happy to work with them the way you feel is best.

“Quick response to our request and provided a great service”

About: I’ve been surrounded by cats and dogs my whole life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. At home, I share my days with my 11 year old Shih Tzu–Poodle mix, who keeps me smiling and reminds me how special the bond with our pets really is. I’m trained in pet first aid and CPR, giving you peace of mind that your furry friend is safe in my care. With experience ranging from playful puppies to gentle senior pets, I bring patience, love, and a bubbly, positive energy to every walk and visit. I work part-time in care, so I’ve got plenty of flexibility to fit in walks and pet sits around your schedule. Whether it’s a quick stroll, some playtime, or keeping your pets company while you’re out, I’m happy to make it work for you and your furry friends. When looking after pets in their own home, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved in their familiar surroundings. I’ll stick to their usual routine, give them lots of cuddles, playtime, and walks, and keep everything as stress free as possible just like they’re with family.

About: I have been a petsiitter, walker, companion for many years. I love all fur babies, recently looked after chickens too. I have a car, can work in York and surrounding areas. Will consider further afield but a minimum of one continous week. Always recommend a meetup before a booking for a cuppa and maybe a biscuit 😉 Recently retired. As i am an animal lover and experienced pet sitter for cats, dogs, chickens i can't think of a better way to spend my time. I cannot look after pets in my own home sadly. I can only offer pet sitting, Vet visits, Pop-ins for all fur babies, chickens, feeding, comforting, walking. Sadly I cannot look after reactive dogs because of past experience.

About: I absolutely adore dogs, big and small. I have looked after and walked many, from a Burnese mountain dog to a spaniel puppy. I am 27, live in a small village with an enclosed garden and I am surrounded by gorgeous countryside that is perfect for walking adventures. I have my own dog, a female 1.5 year old golden retriever who is one big friendly ball of fur who loves everyone and everything. I have a passion for dog training and i am relishing in training my golden. I have a selection of lone lines, treats, leads, toys and cuddles that I am happy to share with any other furry friends. Dogs for me will always come first, they are part of the family. As such, dogs are allowed everywhere in my house, including the sofa! However, should anyone need some quiet time or a break we do have a baby gate that shuts off the upstairs. I have walked a gorgeous bouncy black lab throughout this past years and I looked after and walked dogs throughout my second and third year of university and had a range of regular and new clients. I’m honest and reliable and will work my best around any schedule you have. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to pop me a message. Thank you for reading! I currently work mostly from home with a relatively flexible schedule that means plenty of time for walks and cuddles. I will always keep my diary up to date with availability but any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch! I have an enclosed garden for dogs to play and run around in. I also have a dog myself that will keep your dog company and will happily be a play mate! If needed though I can easily create separate spaces for dogs that need a quiet moment and I even have a stair gate so that your dog can have the run of downstairs. When out on walks for the safety of your dog and your piece of mind I will always use a lead or a long line, I promise this does not compromise on the adventures or fun had on walks. I have a range of long lines that I am happy to use if clients do not own one. I am also happy to send regular pictures and videos of your furry friend whilst on their adventure so you can continue your day with the knowledge that they are safe and happy.

About: I have been around animals all my life, having cats, rabbits and a horse as pets in my childhood. I have gained experience of pet sitting over the last three years with cats, dogs, fish and ferrets. I love meeting new animals. I currently work part time so I have lots of availability for pet sitting around this. I do early morning and late visits on work days and have several full days free each week. I will care for you home and your pet whilst you are away. I am happy to look after plants as well. I will follow the instructions provided by yourself.

About: Dog walker/sitter, initially for friends to cover for holidays and more recently through volunteering as a dog walker/sitter jointly with my husband, through online websites. Pet care will fit into my daily routine as part of my family. I have spare time to easily fit around your pet, offering plenty of love, care and attention around your pets needs. Your pet will be cared for within my own home following your pets patterns of behaviour. I follow your pets nutrition needs and ensure your pet is regularly taken for long walks local and in the countryside, no matter what the weather. Regular cleansing/bathing. Plenty of love, cuddles and treats for good behaviour.

About: Ive had pets since I was 6 years old and looked after family friends dogs. Love seeing dogs happy by playing and walking and having fun I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play and walk your dog. I have very flexible hours and can work around timings I have a big fenced garden and have a quite room if the dogs needs it and wants space. There is a lot of room to play

About: I have grown up with a variety of animals my entire life, all varying in ages and sizes. I currently provide pet sitting and walking in addition to my current full time job for friends and family. This includes looking after my sister’s 10 month old puppy and training where possible. I am currently working full time Monday to Friday in a college. With my weekends free, I work from home on Mondays and Fridays which allow me to pet sit on these days. With my job I sometimes do overtime which allows me to book off additional days for pet sitting should I need to. I prefer looking after pets in the pet owners home as I believe pets deserve to feel at home and safe, what safer space is there for them than a space they live in. I will provide the upmost care and respect in your home, I am also DBS checked

“Helaina did two 30 minute visits to look after my Ruby. Ruby seemed to really warm to Helaina and seemed as though she had a good time. Ruby is an anxious puppy and Helaina really helped her come out of her shell a bit 😊 would definitely use Helaina again!”

About: I have a unique energetic approach to pet care. (only out calls) Pets naturally love my energy. I have been a teacher for 5 years in total and parents always used to ask me how i was able to get their childs respect and attention in class! I have a unique healing energy that i can make use of at your request. I can interact with your pets history and karmic contracts and relationships, this is an extra service. Pets and children can even pick up owners hidden stresses and strains, they are designed to take on / ground energies and can get overwhelmed. This has health consequences that owners/parents are not aware of, which I will be able to explain. I've looked after houses and pets and children before, mostly for friends, and have an affinity with most animals, however i'm still gaining experience. When i stay in a property that's not my own i do feel uncomfortable enough to have respect for the house and the household items. I would probably leave it cleaner than when i came in. The home energy might be transformed as my energy often harmonises the surroundings as i also work with land and property healing. If you plan on ghosting me at any point without reason - please do not contact me in the first place - good communication and manors is a strict boundary I take seriously. I'm working 3 days a week with a friend in Yorkshire and have the rest of my time free to heal land and pets and people ... which is basically my second income. What better place to meet passionate pet owners where my services can truly come to light. I only do pet sitting and can't offer any accomodation at my house as i'm lodging. however I know how to look after pets and command attention when needed. There should be no problems with knowing who is boss and commanding the space with love.
