Lovedddddd having Abbi take care of my reactive GSD! I was very anxious of Abbi approaching her while we were away but my dog instantly warmed up to her which is not normal so it Made me very happy! Will 10/10 hire Abbi again.

About: I have enjoyed learning canine psychology and body language since around the age 10, this help me understand my dogs and find new ways of training them which is one of my favourite hobbies, although since moving out of my parents I have been really busy and I don’t have any time to get a dog of my own so I would absolutely love to look after dogs in my spare time. I don’t mind walking and training dogs, administering medications, check ins to provide some mental stimulation, make sure everything is okay or to let them into the garden. I have just finnished studying and I’m hoping I can spend some time walking peoples dogs as I’ve moved out of home and cannot see my own regularly due to the bus schedule. I have a lot of free time now until September when I start my degree so I would absolutely love to board and walk your pets. I am free all the time currently and I need something to do which I enjoy as dogs are one of my favourite things in the world. I am calm, patient, and understanding of a dogs behaviour and will always treat them with respect for the entire time I am with them. I only ever use positive reinforcement such as verbal rewarding or treats rather than shouting. I live in the center of Scarborough and have a small garden which they can use while also being able to easily get to the beach, forests, parks and fields to let them burn off some energy. My parents and family dogs live in Staintondale where there is a large fenced garden and plenty of fields to burn off energy and play games.

About: Dogs have always been in our family. Since I was 17 I have always owned a dog. Our last dog- Bailey was with us until he was 16. Recently we have a new addition to the household- paddy, he is a lively, friend Springador who loves to play. We also have ‘puggy’ who is getting old now and just likes to relax most days. I adore dogs, and have many years experience of how to care for them properly. I enjoy daily walks in the local area, at the beach and in the woods. I am currently on maternity leave from work so can be available every day. I have 2 young children at home who love our dogs. We go out for daily walks. I have a fenced yard so toilet breaks can be regular, I usually leave the back door open all day so dogs can go in and out as they please. Daily walks will be offered if needed. Dogs can be crated if needed but I don’t really like doing it.

It definitely fits into my lifetime and schedule animals, I'll always find the time for them My environment Is calm and relaxing as one of my cats doesn't like loud noises.

Amy popped round for a meet and greet, and was very relaxed and helpful throughout. When she came for both visits she sent me photo and video updates, and even got my shy rescue to come out and play! Really pleased and will be booking again on future. Thanks Amy 😺

About: I have had a dog since i was a child and have always grown up with them. Since he has passed away i have found comfort in walking other peoples dogs. I have often walked my friends frenchies, my boyfriends Samoyed and Jack Russel & my friends Spaniels aswell as my BNB hosts dog. I find that i love walking to clear my head and go on at least 1 hour walk a day and it would be great to do this with a furry companion. Im currently at university monday and tuesdays full time. I work a part time job at the downe arms in wykeham but the shift patterns are subject to change on a weekly basis. I am free to walk a majority of the time as i make time for it. I am very trustworthy to care for a pet in the pet owners home and will abide by any house rules that are in place.

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: Hi thanks for taking the time to read my profile My name is Chloe I’m 32 years old and dog obsessed! I studied at one of the best animal care colleges in the uk (writtle) and have recently qualified as a dog groomer. I will be opening my grooming business when I have bought my property in two years. I have just purchased a puppy golden retriever so your dog must be good around young pups if they are to stay in my home with me. I have been a sitter for just over a year now, I have always been around dogs as my grandmother rescues them abroad and I’d often help her with all different sizes and breeds. I have owned dogs most of my life so I’m very experienced, you can relax knowing they will be very safe in my care. They will be spoilt with cuddles and attention, I love long walks along the sea front and beach so they will get lots of exercise if required. I work self employed from home so I have free time to walk or sit your dogs at any time of day or evening. When your dog is in my care he/she will be very spoilt with love, attention and way too many cuddles and trips outdoors, I love integrating pets into my life style because it gets me out and about rather than sitting on my laptop working all day and I just love the company of dogs and enjoy every minute as you can tell from my photos I’m always happiest when I’m with dogs and always form bonds with them Please note that day care is between 8am-8pm anything beyond this I class as an overnight booking. I generally won’t take dogs that are not toilet trained. **PRICES WILL DROP IF THERE ARE REPEAT BOOKINGS** I only start with high prices to begin with. I can care for pets in your home, large dogs might be a bit difficult but I’m happy to walk larger breeds and sit them in your home.

Chandni is a lovely young woman who obviously loves cats. I can’t recommend her highly enough. From her home visit to meet my kitty and me to the communication from her to her obvious care for Nigel and my home I am delighted. I will definitely book again. Thank you so much Chandni 😊

Vicky was just perfect. I could tell she was a lovely person when she came round to meet us. Everything was clean and tidy when I arrived home and most importantly Nigel was happy. Plus a photo and a video clip while I was away were very welcome. Thank you Vicky, I will certainly re book you when needed and highly recommend
