House Sitting in Wakefield

“Nova was great with our dog and also looked after our house very well. We received regular and thorough updates, with pictures of our dog ?. We knew he was in safe hands and I would use Nova again. Would highly recommend!”

“Frances looked after Betsy and Daisy for us recently. She was excellent and the two dogs enjoyed their new friend. Frances seemed very organised and very trustworthy. She has lots of experience looking after different dogs and cats and other animals. We will definitely try to have Frances look after our two again.”

“John looked after our German Shepherd overnight and did a brilliant job. We came home to a very happy pooch and the house was just as we'd left it. I wouldn't hesitate to use John again and would highly recommend him for dog or house sitting duties.”

About: I've grown up with spaniels, so I'm no stranger to active, affectionate dogs who thrive on regular exercise and stimulation. I now have my own 2-year-old cocker spaniel, Miko. I don't plan on having children, so she gets all the love, care, and attention I’d give to a child. That means being firm but fair, going on long daily walks (often two or three times!), exploring new places, and making time for plenty of play. I’ve had Miko since she was an 8-week-old puppy, and have taken care to raise her with structure and affection. She was crate trained early on and completed doggy training, passing her first assessment with flying colours. If your dog has a set routine or follows specific training methods, I’m more than happy to follow and reinforce those practices to ensure consistency and comfort for them. I currently work in an office with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be adaptable to your pet’s needs. I’m available for weekend boarding, and with a little notice, I can work from home to accommodate longer weekend stays or extended bookings. My typical working hours are 8am to 4pm, but I’m happy to adjust (e.g., 7–3 or 9–5) to fit in morning or evening walks as needed. Although I don’t have a private garden, I live on a quiet street with a secure, gated central garden that I use daily, it's a safe, enclosed space where dogs can run, sniff, and enjoy some off-lead time. My home is calm, relaxed, and dog-friendly, with dogs welcome on the furniture and treated like part of the family. I have my own 2-year-old cocker spaniel, Miko, who is super friendly and loves the company of other dogs. She can be a bit enthusiastic when meeting new friends but quickly settles, and I’d love for her to have a playmate during stays. Miko also comes to the office with me regularly and is very used to being around other dogs, so social guests will feel right at home.

“Ciara was a massive help with our dog D today. He warmed to her nicely and she kept in contact with us through the day which was much appreciated. Thank you Ciara! Will definitely recommend Ciara and hopefully she can help us out again in the future”

“Bridie was awesome. She came in, looked after the girls who seemed to have a lovely time, I messaged a few times a day for updates and got them promptly. She left the house immaculate. Couldn't ask for more.”

About: I understand that every pet is unique. From energetic puppies who need lots of playtime to senior dogs who crave gentle company, I tailor my care to suit each dog’s personality and routine. What sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with every animal. I treat your dog like part of my family, offering not just basic care but affection, enrichment, and attention to detail—whether that’s sticking to feeding schedules, providing stimulating walks, or simply giving them the reassurance they need while you’re away. We both work during the week, so weekends are dedicated entirely to caring for your dog. From Friday evenings (if needed) through Sunday, we can give them our full attention, companionship, and care. We have a fully enclosed, secure garden, providing a safe space for your dog to relax and play. Our home is calm, with no other pets or children, so your dog will have our undivided attention. We dedicate our time entirely to meeting your pet’s needs, treating them as part of our family. Whether it’s daily walks tailored to their energy level or sticking closely to their feeding schedule, we’ll ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved throughout their stay.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life and I currently have a 3 year old mixed breed called Sunday. I know that dogs and cats are members of your family so I will always treat them as such! I work from home every weekday other than Wednesdays when I’m in the office. I’m around a lot so able to give plenty of attention and let out for toilet breaks often and walk daily. I have a medium sized fenced garden and a medium sized house to home your fur baby. I have a 3 year old mixed breed called Sunday. Happy to use a crate if needed. Animals are allowed on furniture and beds.

About: I have had the joys of having various animals over the years, cats, dogs, horses, chickens, ducks and the list doesn't stop there. I also offer basic obedience training (optional extra) for dogs/puppies of all ages, they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks I disagree. I enjoy long walks with dogs, but animal care and wellbeing is my top priority as long as they are happy then everyone is happy. I work full time but I am flexible with the ability to work remotely. I have a flexible schedule but I do like to go to the gym and rock climbing. I don't currently offer pet boarding as I'm in rented accommodation so this would not be an option. I can however do house sitting, I find this less traumatic for pets as they are in an environment they are used to, less disruption to their routine the better the experience for them.

“Carol and Simon were amazing with our dog, she had a lovely time with them. She was very looked after, lots of walks and care. Couldn’t have asked for better.”

“Saffron has been an absolute life saver… she cared for my 4 pups whilst I got married… she was so knowledgeable about my dogs and their specific issues… as I own 2 rescued dogs, one imported/nervous and one disabled pup who has three legs… she catered to every problem with such care and detail… I have never in my 6 years of owning a dog had to use a sitter as they normally stay with family but I’m extremely grateful saffron was the one to care for my pups… she looked after them as if they were her own and kept me updated throughout the day on how they were… I couldn’t of wished for anyone better to look after them, I will definitely be needing saffrons help again in the future and recommend her to friends and family… thank you so much saffron!! 🥰xxx”

About: From my young ages I had a dogs, on Slovakia from where I am we still have 7 dogs and when I come home for a holiday I play with them all the time. I have a hearth problems so I can't work, I am disabled, so this is the way what I can do and what I really love. I have a meadow and forest close to me so I can go with your dogs on the walk and play there. I have a garden too. I really like animals so i will be very happy when your dog will be at my home :) My English is low so this is type of way how to learn it. I love walking in nature so I will be happy to walking with your dogs.

About: I am a 3rd year veterinary student at the university of Liverpool, so have had experience with a variety of animals, and you can ensure your pets happiness and safety is top priority! I have two dogs at home and have been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember! Doing placements as part of my course has allowed me to develop lots of different skills and knowledge about different dogs and how to cater to specific needs. I am home from university for summer and have completed my placements so I have lots of free time to spend taking care of your animals! I am flexible to accommodate whatever your dogs needs may be, I am eager to do the best for your animal and I enjoy seeing them doing well.

About: I grew up around dogs of all shapes and sizes, before getting a family dog of our own when I was 12 years old. I’ve been a trusted dog sitter for family and friends for many years and love nothing more than caring for dogs. I’m knowledgeable and experienced, but, more importantly, I am exceptionally loving and caring to all dogs. I currently work part time, and work from home with a flexible schedule the rest of the time. I am used to fitting in four walks a day for dogs, so can easily make the time to walk your dog on whatever schedule they need. Morning, noon or night - I can be there! I have a fenced back garden with space to run around, and live next to a park and fields so your dog can get all the exercise they need! I have no dogs of my own so can give all my attention to your dog(s), and make sure they are well looked after. The house is secure with plenty of space for beds and/or crates - whichever the preference! If you prefer me to look after your dog in your home, then I will easily slot into their usual routine.

About: I have plenty of experience with different animals grooming, meditation dispensing, general day to day walking and entertaining playing around with pets. I would be happy to continue any basic training you have started or would like me to start. I can do some extra activities while looking after your pet, like washing up mess made by your pet, put rubbish bins out and bring back in. Bring letters in if you are way on holidays etc. I have looked after pets both energetic who love walks and playing around and also pets that just love a cuddle and to chill. I work in the healthcare sector so I do have an online DBS if you would like any background checks information. I am flexible as I work in the community so have plenty of spare time to both be at home and also to do house calls. I have a large house and garden which is fenced and safe also I live in a semi rural area so plenty of walks to go on. I am a flexible worker with lots of spare time and would love the opportunity to look after your pets. I am available mostly at any time as my work is flexible. I would look after them as my own and follow any instructions given from owner of the pet I am looking after. I have a secure and fenced property and big house for the animal to explore if they come to my house.

About: I have experience taking care of pets. In Brazil, I had two small Shih Tzu dogs. I have a lot of patience when dealing with these types of dogs, since they need attention most of the time and love to play. I love dogs! I’m currently working part full time. I’m available for boarding on weekends and Monday to Thursday after 4pm. I’m available for boarding on Friday after 1 pm. I recently moved to a house with a large fenced yard where my pet can feel safe playing. We currently do not have any pets.
