“Incredible woman and has a fantastic love and patience for cats! Lucia is such a heartwarming lady. She sent daily photos and a description of everything she had done, the photos included play, food, litter change, water. Any needs that I had she exceeded.

About: I have experience of owning and looking after family and friends dogs. I am a keen walker, loving nothing more than being out with dogs locally. I curently work part time in a freelance basis at home so have lots of time to help to care for and walk dogs locally. I have a large fully enclosed back garden and live in a village near Selby giving us access to beautiful walks and fields on my doorstep.

About: I grew up with pets (mostly dogs). There were too many times in my life where i couldnt care for pets due to scheduling issues but 21st century and apps like this can fix that🙂 I looked after friends and family pets throughout all my life. I'm a very patient and relaxed guy who loves going hikes and walks so your doggo will get plenty of exercise. Im very familiar with what to do in case of emergencies too, however more than anything would prefer to prevent one from happening. I'm currently working full time and whilst i would love to have my own pet to go back home to, i can't put them through the pains of me not being there for them at all times. Saying that, I love animals and would like to spend more time with them. Evening and weekends is what I can currently offer, however, the second that changes, I will be getting my own pet 😉 I can offer some short stays at mine for doggos of all shape and sizes. I live in a 2 bed ground flat with a small garden. Plenty of space for them to cuddle and chill. I also drive so within reasonable distance I can come over to yours and sit with them.

About: Hi, I'm Tom and I live with my fiancée, Millie, and our 3 year-old dog Rosie! I have always had dogs, and have always been relied on by friends, family, and even colleagues to provide care for their dogs - whether they need walks, boarding, or house sitting. I have experience with puppies, having trained two dogs (including Rosie) from puppy age, as well as senior dogs and, of course, those in between! I also have experience of providing post-surgery care and understand the importance of providing proper care and rehabilitation. Millie has also had dogs as family pets for her entire life, so we are both well experienced dog carers and owners. I'm currently in a hybrid job role and able to work from home 2-3 days per week, so I will be available on the days that I work from home, as well as weekends and evenings! As we have a dog at home, we go on walks anyway, so your dogs will be able to come along! Rosie is very small, so doesn't generally have long walks. I am happy to take larger, more energetic dogs on separate, longer walks. I have a good-sized, secure garden which is perfect for toileting and playing. I have a friendly, relaxed dog at home who will keep your dog company! I have a small crate, so smaller dogs can be crated if required. Your dog can spend the days with me in our home office, but our home is across three floors so there is plenty of room if your dog prefers their own space. We have two doggy cameras set up around the home and looking into the garden, so your dogs are always being well looked after. We have access to a large field right outside our house and, due to the location and layout of our street, it's generally only used by us and our neighbours. There are lots of quiet streets in our immediate area, and we live within a 10-minute drive of large woodland areas which are perfect for walks.

About: Growing up on a farm with three dogs and two cats, I’ve always been comfortable around animals of all kinds. I’ve cared for large breeds like German Shepherds and recently looked after a needy, fussy dog with special challenges—he tries to run at cars, isn’t great with other dogs or people, but I’ve built a strong bond with him and handled his unique needs with patience and care. I also have experience housesitting for extended periods, ensuring pets feel safe and loved. Reliable, experienced, and animal-loving—I’d be the perfect choice to look after your furry friend! I currently work 40 hours a week, with some days starting really early and finishing by 2pm, while other days I don’t start til late (11am). This gives me plenty of time in the mornings or afternoons to spend caring for your animals. I live alone with no other commitments or pets of my own, as I can't have pets where I live and don’t have a garden for them to play in. That means I can dedicate focused, flexible time to looking after your furry friends. I’m available for boarding from around 2:30pm on weekdays or early mornings, depending on days/shift pattern. On weekends, I’m fully available and flexible to accommodate your needs. I live in a very peaceful neighborhood with plenty of lovely areas for long walks. Whether caring for pets at my own place or theirs, I’m always happy to find enjoyable walks to keep your furry friends active and content.

“Laura has been amazing caring for our three cats during the past 3 months. Not only has she been to the house every day, she has sent photos and messages to reassure us that all the cats are safe and well. She has reported any concerns immediately. She is very efficient, honest and reliable. We would recommend her without reservation.”


About: I care for cats and dogs as if they were my own — from cuddles and playtime to sticking to their exact routines. I’m experienced with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to seniors needing extra patience and care. Confident with walks, feeding, grooming, and giving medication, I tailor my approach to each pet’s personality so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently work from home and my job is super flexible so I can work my hours around playing and caring for your pets. I can do drop ins, walks and pet sitting any time during the week and most weekends. I can easily work my schedule around your pets routine. I have a fenced big back garden and plenty of green spaces around me to play and walk your dogs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand their routines, needs, and any special instructions you provide. I’m careful on walks, avoiding unsafe areas and always using secure leads and harnesses. I believe trust is built through reliability, clear communication, and consistent care — which is why I send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether in your home or mine, I create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for as if they were my own.

About: I’m passionate about creating a safe and happy environment where every dog feels loved and cared for. With plenty of time to dedicate to your furry friends, I’m available weekends and week days to ensure your pet receives the attention they deserve. My home is perfect for dogs to relax and play. It’s just myself and my little 5-year-old pug, who is friendly, playful, and eager to make new friends. We also have a spacious, secure grass garden where your dog can enjoy fresh air and exercise in a safe environment. I work from home, which gives me plenty of time to play with and care for your beloved dogs! I’m available for boarding seven days a week, including both weekdays and weekends, ensuring your furry friends get all the attention and love they deserve. At my home, pets are treated like family. I create a safe and loving environment where they feel relaxed and happy. Since I work from home, I’m always around to give plenty of attention and playtime. I share my home with our friendly 5-year-old pug, who loves making new doggy friends. We have a spacious and secure grass garden that offers plenty of room for running, playing, and exploring safely. Whether your dog enjoys snuggles on the couch, fun outdoor activities, or quiet moments to rest, I tailor the care to suit their individual needs.
About: I’ve had pets of all breeds and sizes throughout my life, and currently share my home with two sassy miniature dachshunds who keep me on my toes! Being surrounded by dogs isn’t just part of my lifestyle—it’s something I truly love. My entire family owns a variety of dogs, so I’m constantly around different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or an adventurous hike, I enjoy staying active with pups and making sure they’re well-exercised and happy. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, as I’ve always loved being around animals. I work in early years and am currently studying Childhood Studies with the goal of becoming a teacher, which means my weekdays are structured—but I have plenty of free time on weekends and during school holidays. This makes me especially flexible for last-minute plans or spontaneous days out when you need a sitter you can count on. Whether it’s a weekend walk or a day out , I’m happy to help give your pet the love and attention they deserve. When caring for a pet in their own home, my priority is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I’ll make sure they’re well-fed, have fresh water, and get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise based on their needs. I’m respectful of your home and will follow any instructions you provide closely—whether that’s administering medication, sticking to specific feeding times, or maintaining training habits. Most importantly, I aim to create a calm, safe environment so your pet feels secure and happy while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs now since I was little, I love all animals so much and bond really easily with them! I wish I could look after animals as a full time time alas I work in an office so will just have to look forward to hanging out them in my spare time ❤️🩹 I have just moved back to Yorkshire after some time away so looking for something wholesome to fill most of my evenings and weekends x I work 9-4 so I am flexible in the evenings and available at the weekends! I have recently just moved back to Yorkshire after some time away so I am mostly free to hang out with some fur babies! I will easily and gladly follow instructions provided for pet care, and their individual needs whether that is keeping track of food & medication times or whatever else you might need or if they just need frequent cuddles!

About: I cared for dogs and cats since I was a child, now I have 4 cats living with me and they are my babies. Love animals and would love to meet yours. I am currently working full time from 6 oclock till 2 oclock, so I am available evenings on weekdays and all day and night on weekends. I would prefer to care for animals at your house as my cats do not like other pets. They are silly. Also I am renting.

About: I have been around animals all my life. From cats to dogs, to rabbits and guinee pigs, I’m confident on what they all require, from daily walks, to feeding schedules and plenty of love! I’m often asked to dog sit & cat sit from family and friends, so it would be no change to every day life. I am offering out my services of dog walking and pet sitting, so please drop me a message. I am currently fully flexible with my hours, so I can work around your pet, your work schedules and daily lives. Whether this be dog walking early morning and late evening, or mid day toilet trips, I am available to work around your schedule. I don’t currently offer services from my own home however I ensure a safe environment for whomever I am looking after. I know what animals should and shouldn’t eat, and if your pet has any specific requirements ie medicine I am experienced in providing this as my mums cat has hyper thyroidism and requires medicine twice a day. I know to give pets plenty of love, but I also know when an animal wants there own space and would be happy to let them be in their own home if that’s what they require. I would ensure their water bowl is constantly filled up and they have access to toilet breaks and walks and fresh air. I would be happy to give them pet treats and I would stick to feeding schedules. Whatever you require, I would be happy to cater to. To ensure I could react in the best possible way if an emergency scenario we’re to arise, I would need to have emergency contact details on hand as well know who their registered vets are.

Rowen S.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Rowen provided for my dogs, Lennie and Rupert. From the start, it was clear that Rowen has a genuine love for animals and took the time to understand both of their personalities and needs. Lennie, with his playful energy, and Rupert, who can be a little more reserved, were both completely at ease in her care. I received regular updates, which reassured me they were having a fantastic time. It’s such a relief knowing I can rely on Rowen to look after them like they’re her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
