House Sitting in Wakefield

“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.”

“We have 2 very elderly dogs, who don’t need exercising, but are hard work to look after, and need special care in their own way, as one of our dogs is blind and deaf, with dementia, and the other dog is heading the same way. Through Nova’s love, care and attention, we have 100% peace of mind that the boys are OK while we are on holiday. We have used Nova quite a few times over the years, and I cannot praise or recommend Nova highly enough, like I said in my first review about Nova, our world would be a lot nicer if there were more people like Nova in it.”

“I could not recommend Penny enough! We booked quite last minute and we needed someone for 8 nights to look after our dog Bou. Penny was so quick to respond and come round to meet Bou. I’ve never had anybody stay in my house before to dogsit so I was apprehensive, but as soon as I met Penny I had absolutely no worries at all! Bou loved her immediately and I could tell how amazing she was with animals. A huge plus was she gave regular updates all throughout the week including photos and videos of Bou which was lovely, we felt so at ease, we could really switch off and enjoy our holiday knowing Bou was in the comfort of her own home with someone she loved. I’m not sure she even missed us once 🤣 she enjoyed her walks, cuddles and company and we’ve come home to the house as we left it. We will 10000% be using Penny again in the future. If you want someone trustworthy, reliable and caring and good natured then I wouldn’t hesitate at all to book Penny to look after your animals! Thank you soooo much ❤️”

“Once again Frances was great with Colin, when returning home to a lovely clean house they took the time to update me on how he’d been and I could tell he’d been very well looked after (despite some bouts of his bad behaviour!). Colin loves his time with Frances and very lucky to have found such a considerate sitter, especially being so understanding after having my journey home delayed! Thank you Frances”

“If you are looking for someone to care for your dog, my advice would be to choose Ivans. My Boston Terrier doesn’t usually warm to people, is prone to chaos, and can be reactive. He is a complete gremlin, and I normally have to give people a full disclaimer before they meet him. Ivans came to watch Jerry for the day. Yet, he also ended up training him through play, patience, and a real understanding of how Jerry thinks. It was amazing to see him work through Jerry’s difficult behaviours without making it feel like formal training, and it won Jerry over quickly. His care for dogs is really visible, and it’s clear that he wants to set them up for success. My gremlin loved him right away, and the photo updates made me feel like I was in safe hands! I will definitely be working with him again for Jerry’s walking, his reactivity, and his general gremlin nature!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years and have grown up with Newfoundlands, Labrador’s, Spaniels, Staffies and now have our own rescue called Rex. He absolutely loves other dogs / cats / chickens and thrives from animal company! I work from home Monday, Wednesday and Fridays and my partner Henry works from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Usually our day starts with a walk at around 8am - 9am. Regular toilet breaks throughout the day and another evening short walk if needed. We both love animals and dogs, they get lots of attention in our house. We have a high fenced garden at the back of our house and a locked gate so dogs are fully secure at all times. We live a 5 minute walk to thornes park. I live with my partner Henry and our dog Rex, who’s 1 years old and is a border collie cross. He loves other dogs, is very playful and he knows when to switch off and relax. He especially loves large breeds as he spends a lot of time with my parents Newfoundlands but recently made a strong bromance with a dachshund we were looking after for 2 weeks.
