“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 🙏”

“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!”

“Wonderful person who actually speaks dog’s language. We have a youngster and a Cariana was absolutely fabulous with her - calmed her down and gave good few hours. Thank you!”

“Lisa was fantastic with Pepper, treated her like family and kept our young excitable pup entertained all day. She slept for hours when she got home, and absolutely had the best day. I know Lisa puts the thoughts of the dogs in her care at the forefront of what she does and it really shows. Thank you Lisa”

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 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.

“Rebecca kindly looked after Brodie for us at short notice and we really appreciated her help. She was polite, friendly and easy to communicate with throughout. Brodie was well looked after and came back happy and settled, which is always the main thing. Thank you again for taking such good care of him, we’d happily recommend Rebecca to others.”

“Lesley was wonderful, thankyou so much for looking after Buster. We needed day care to attend a funeral in York at last minute. Buster was settled as soon as he saw Lesley when I dropped him off and a very happy chappy when I picked him up. He would clearly have stayed with her without hesitation. Great to get a fully detaiked report on his day too. Wouldn't hesitate to book Lesley again.”

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.

“Kate made us feel so comfortable and happy leaving Colin with her for the day (on his first birthday!). She was really flexible and responsive and you can tell she really loves animals and cares for them like they’re her own. I would recommend her to anyone :)”

About: Hello, my name is Shubham and I live in beautiful South bank area. I am a software engineer based in York. Working from home has given me the wonderful opportunity to care for my neighbour's cat while they are away. The cat seems to enjoy my company and loves playing with me. I adore cats so much that I even ordered a few games from Amazon to play with other cats in my neighbourhood. I’m happy to care for both dogs and cats, with patient visits, playtime, feeding and companionship tailored to each pet.

“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.”

“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.”

“Mika did the most fantastic job looking after Poppy. Very responsive with all messages, it was all really easy to organize. Very clear communication the whole time, very carefully preparing for and looking after Poppy. Lots of photos and updates. Highly recommended. Thank you so much, Mika!”

Jacqueline E.

“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.”

JANET P.

“I cannot recommend Jaye and her husband enough. They’re genuinely so lovely, and so fantastic (and competent!) with dogs, and my two had a fanastic time. Thank you so much for looking after Louis and Juno!”

Alexandra B.

“Thank you for looking after Jasper. Jasper settled straight away and I got regular updates through the day. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Jack again in the future”

Kathryn B.

“Ewan is brilliant! From the initial communication to the updates throughout the day and then drop off, we knew our dog was in safe hands. We booked for our dog to have a day of peace while explored York. She is a rescue and this is the first time we've left her with a stranger. Ewan's presence is calming and he immediately connected with her. Within an hour we had a photo of her lying down, looking out of a window, a sign of peace and contentment with our dog. Thank you for making our mini break in York so good. We hope to come back and we know that Raggsie would be safe with you.”

Emma N.

“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!! :)”
