About: Hello, welcome to our family! We are Leanne and Danny, pet parents to a 4 year old female rescue dog, Nala, and often have a foster dog in our care. With all the dogs we have looked after in the last 5 years, we are confident with nervous dogs, dog with medical needs, and a variety of personalities! I currently work part time, 3 half days between mon-fri. These days can vary week to week, but between the both of us, there is often someone at home. Our availability will reflect this. We have a fully enclosed rear garden with a large lawn. The gate to the rear garden is padlocked from the inside. Inside, my dogs sleep in the living room with the choice of a crate, dog beds, or the sofa. I have an additional large crate in the kitchen for any dogs that require a crate, as well as a moveable pen that can be used if any pets need their own space. The cat does have his own room upstairs, and only roams the whole house when dogs are cat friendly. At the bottom of the stairs is a baby gate to keep dogs downstairs, they are allowed on the sofas, and will be taken upstairs at bed time if they usually sleep in your bedroom.

About: I have been around dogs from birth and spent much time looking after my parents collie which included long country walks, feeding and grooming. When I met my partner Jo later on, we got ourselves a large house with a fenced off garden, and not long after, we adopted our first rescue dog, Ben, a springer spaniel. Unfortunately due to health issues, we did not have Ben very long, but we made sure he had a good, happy life. Some time later, we adopted another rescue dog, Bonnie, a Cavalier King Charles spaniel. We quickly found that Bonnie was not settling well and required the company of another dog so we then adopted Amity, a springer spaniel, as a companion. We thoroughly enjoyed looking after our 3 dogs with walks, feeding, administering medication when needed, and tending to any other needs. Our dogs always came first, were very much part of the family, and had happy lives and a home where they were loved. Sadly, all our dogs have now passed away but we still want to offer up our home to other people's dogs and look after them just as much as we did with our dogs. Myself and my partner both work part time, so we are at home for most of the day apart from one hour in the morning when we are both at work. We have a large fenced off garden for dogs to run around and play in. Dogs have free run of the house unless owners specify that they must not be in the bedroom or on furniture. We have an under stairs area for dogs who prefer a covered, quiet area to sleep in. I have pet sitters insurance to cover your dog while in our care and I also hold a DBS certificate. We will only take one owner's dog(s) for boarding at any time. We will never take dogs from multiple owners at the same time.

About: PLEAAAASE MESSAGE ME ABOUT PRICES - THEY CHANGE, MOSTLY CHEAPER !! 🫶🏻 ALL WALKS WILL BE OVER 45 MIN UNLESS STATED YOU WANT IT SHORTER 🫶🏻 MESSAGE ME ABOUT COST OF ADDITIONAL NIGHTS 🫶🏻 i’ve been looking after dogs for multiple years now - i can cater to needs very well. able to be kept separate from other people but me if needed! doggie photo updates will also happily be given! looking after fur babies isn’t a real job for me. i would happily move things around in my plans to make things work - i have a better day with a dog by my side. also gives me a reason to be active! i love taking dogs on trips out on the train to go have a really long scenic walk - let me know if this is okay! (looking to make this my full time job if it goes well!) i am very flexible with different dog’s needs! let me know specifically what is needed from me :) can be kept social with different adults in the house, or can be kept separate with me if the doggie has anxiety or separation issues.

About: I have taken care of my sisters sausage dog Simon on multiple occasions over the last couple of years. This has included week long stays as well as the occasional drop in visit. I also regularly walk a family pet called Oliver who is a cocker spaniel on my days off. Oliver is reactive to dogs and people so I have a good understanding of how to manage this. I am shift worked so will be able to provide care for your pets on my days off. I will update my schedule to reflect my days off. This is on average 3 days of the week. I have mini daschund who loves digging holes in the garden, she has free roam of the house and the garden under supervision. I am happy to come and see your dog and supervise them during toilet breaks, as well as spend time with them and keep them company. I can also provide love and cuddles as well friendly play time.

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.

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.

I can come to you if you're nearby. I'm pretty active, so energetic dogs are great, but I'm chill with relaxed ones too. Please check my Facebook page, "Moochyapooch," to see uploads of your pets' adventures. 🙂 I am up early every morning; I spend one-on-one time with your pets, hardly leaving them alone. I stay with your pets 24/7; we are in the same room together at all times. I live five minutes from the beach and wooded areas, so there are plenty of walks for us to go on. 🤩 Let me know a few days prior if I have any other pets. Thank you. I have a fenced garden in the back; no grass, but okay for midnight toilet breaks. Your pet will be safe in my home; my backyard is secure, with a fenced garden. I will stay with them at all times, with treats, toys, fun, and games provided, and best of all, big dog walks. I am available to take your dog on big, active walks, or little walks, or just chill out in the house with them, letting them into the garden. I treat the house for fleas and ticks regularly. All pets are kept with me at all times.

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.

Booked Abbi for daily drop in visits to care for my cat whilst I was away on holiday. Chose this service as he hated cattery stays in the past. My little furry lad loved Abbi very much and Abbi did a great job at taking care of him. Highly recommend 🙂
