“Zixuan was so friendly and welcoming. Her dog was also friendly towards Jeff, and he had such a nice time, and made himself at home. He went to the park and played with sticks, hus favourite past-time. When I collected him he was so relaxed, this made me feel happy knowing he was well looked after. Thank you so much 🙏”

“Cariana gave Tess most attentive care and a good calm happy first stay. She is very knowledgeable about the needs of small dogs and her own dog Lucy is a gentle gem. Thank you!”

“Joanne was amazing . Our Cavapoo Freddie and our sons Cockapoo went to Joanne for day care while we had a day out . We dropped them off and Joanne brought them home , they were both very well looked after . We’ll definitely use Joanne again.”

“Hendrix came back happy and healthy.. puppies are super energetic and I felt bad Hendrix just wanted to play all the time he was there and didn’t rest (as he slept in the car on the way) Very appreciated Octavia-Louise, thanks for looking after him!”

About: I love dogs and cats. From childhood, both myself and my husband have always had them as pets and our home would not be complete without one! We enjoy their companionship and caring for them, which we have many years of experience and we are trustworthy and reliable. We have a calm and relaxed home with a secure garden and have lots of lovely walks from our doorstep. Our pets are well socialised and accepting and we are all very much looking forward to welcoming your beloved pet into our home! I am at home during the day and at weekends and always make sure I take care of my own pets needs and so I would do exactly the same with all dogs that are staying with us. I would ensure I followed the owner’s instructions and I would keep them updated. I would keep a good routine, with feeding, making sure their pets food is fresh in clean bowls with access to fresh water. I would exercise them to suit their needs. I am happy to bathe, brush, clean teeth if they allow but I do not clip nails. I would give medication according to owner’s instructions. I would ensure harnesses, leads are secure before leaving on a walk and car restraints are secured before transporting. Pets are allowed on our chairs and sofas and beds and I would like them to feel safe, relaxed and comfortable. I can crate if required. I would give positive praise and attention, helping your pet to feel at home and relaxed as possible while staying with us.

“Callie had a lovely stay with Lesley! She’s a very warm, friendly person, who obviously loves dogs and I felt confident leaving Callie in her care for the day while my husband and I explored York. She kept in touch through the day and sent a nice little video. I would be very happy to leave Callie with her again.”

“Kay took great care of Freddie (a Frenchie) when he was booked in for daycare. He was taken for a walks and felt relaxed enough to have a snooze in the sun when he was there too! Kay went the extra mile to get to know Freddie and I received updates on how he was doing, which was appreciated. She was also very understanding when the car I was travelling in broke down, causing me to be later than planned. I’d recommend Kay and hope to book in again soon.”

“Eva took care of my dog Wanda for an afternoon. Everything went great and Wanda had a great time with Eva. I would definitely leave my Wanda with her again, she spent a great afternoon with lots of treats and cuddles.”

My dog was very happy to stay the second we got through the door , and was happy and relaxed when I picked him up later . Ewan kept me updated throughout the day , with time taken to give feedback at the end”

“I really trust Kate with my dog Colin. She is very responsive and flexible and Colin is so happy to see her. He came home tired out and content from having fun all day. You can tell Kate really cares about animals and I feel confident leaving Colin with her as I know she will take good care of him”

About: I adore animals and grew up with dogs, mainly terriers and labs so caring for them is second nature to me. I’ve worked in many places that are dog friendly also. I absolutely adore pets and and can’t wait to know yours. I’ve got over 10 years experience living with and minding pets, mainly dogs and cats, from puppies to rescues. I’m an active outdoorsy person so can provide that adventure if needed but also know a calm and comforting environment with a cuddle is sometimes what’s needed. I work freelance so my schedule is variable and flexible. I keep my calendar as up to date as possible but just get in touch if you’re interested and we can chat! I live in a new build flat, accessed via stairs in York. It is spacious and airy and near many green spaces with lovely walks and not far from the river and gardens. I welcome open communication so please share what your pet requires so I can best accomodate.

About: I have been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember. Back in my home country, raised my own dog from a tiny puppy, and he is now a lovely ten-year-old senior dog. Looking after him over all these years has given me valuable hands-on experience caring for older dogs, understanding their slower pace, special health needs and gentle care requirements. 么 I also rescued and cared for six cats while living in China. Looking after this group of rescue pets taught me immense patience, how to help shy, nervous animals feel safe, and how to manage multiple pets with different personalities and needs at the same time. Those wonderful years built my confidence and deep love for every furry friend. Since moving to York in the UK, I now have one friendly, well-socialised one-year-old dog who lives with me at home. He is calm, gentle and happy to meet other dogs. I am home full-time and rarely out of the house for long periods. This means your dog will get constant companionship, frequent daily walks, regular feeding times, plenty of playtime and rest. 1 am also happy to administer medication if needed. I treat every pet that stays with me like a member of my own family. Throughout their booking, I will send you regular photo and text updates, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you are away. I welcome puppies, adult dogs and senior dogs of all temperaments. I am currently not working and stay at home full-time, so I can dedicate plenty of time to look after, play with and walk your dog every single day. I am fully available for pet-boarding services all week with no strict time restrictions. I have rich long-term pet-care experience. I previously cared for six cats and a 10-year-old dog back in my home country. Now I own a one-year-old friendly, well-socialised dog here in the UK. I will closely supervise all interactions between the pets and offer your furry friend a safe, quiet and comfortable home environment.

“Benson's first time at a dog-sitter so I was anxious about leaving him, he's a big boisterous dog who can be nervous - I didn't need to be, he had a wonderful time, was looked after perfectly, very experienced and lovely sitters, highly recommend.”

I have a fenced garden and one dog to keep your fur baby company ,I also have a crate if your dog prefers this.

“Teds first visit with Christianne - I could see that he took to her straight away which was very reassuring. Felt very happy leaving him with her and will definitely be using Christianne again when I need a dog sitter.”

“Julie was absolutely wonderful looking after Harley. I was sent pictures throughout the day and couldn’t have chosen anyone better :) I felt very comfortable leaving Harley with her at her beautiful home. Would definitely recommend.”

Lauren H.

“Hutton had a great time! He came home ready for a nap after all the playing and attention. Thanks!”

Nathan W.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Communication was spot on from start to finish- I got regular updates and loads of adorable photos that really put my mind at ease. Louie was clearly having the best time, especially when he got to go to the pub (his favourite kind of outing!). It’s so lovely to know he was treated like one of the family. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again, I can tell why Melanie has had so many repeat bookings!! :)”
