About: Having over 25 years of experience looking after and owning dogs, dog walking for senior clients and dogs would never be a problem, same with puppies. Also have 4 years of pet shop experience so I’ve seen and heard it all. I’m fully available during the week and weekends between 6am to 10pm. But more than willing to discuss what’s needed for your pet care if it falls outside those hours. Safety and respect is crucial when being in other people’s homes. How ever you would like things done is exactly how it will be done.
About: Hi, I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and I’ve come back from university for a long holiday break and would love to welcome your dog into my family’s home to stay. I’m also available for dog walking and day care. We can offer a fenced and safe garden, comfortable sofa and plenty of time for cuddles, company, walks and playtime to all the dogs that stay with us. Our home is very dog friendly and full of treats and toys. We live local to the river and multiple green spaces for a variety of walks. Our family dog, Willow, is 5 years old, she’s an independent miniature poodle. I am happy to arrange a meet and greet before any booking if you would like to see how your dog gets on. I can also easily accommodate separate walks for your dog if you prefer. I want to make your pet feel like this is their home from home so if they have any special requests to make them feel comfortable then please feel free to ask 😁 I’m back from university so I’m available most days, including weekends. I will also be taking care of my own dog when my parents are at work, so I have plenty of time to spend with your dog. I can easily accommodate a dog crate, if your dog is happiest sleeping there. I have a medium-sized fenced garden and live close to Bootham park and the river for nice walks. Your dog is welcome on the sofa and my priority is making them welcome and comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life and have trained or owned pups from every “walk” of life - from small to large, young puppies to elderly pooches, rugged rescues to pampered pedigrees - I’ve loved them all and want to give your precious pup all the attention they deserve! ☺️ I have a precious pup of my own who loves to have new furry friends around! I like to spend a lot of time outside so walks and playing in the field are frequent. Otherwise, we’ll be found studying at one of the dog-friendly coffee shops. 🙂 I take frequent breaks from work to play with my pup so there is no shortage of affection and attention for dogs here! I also have several dog beds in my home office so if your pup likes to snuggle/sit on laps I’m always up for that while I work. 🐶
“The dogs had such a great time today and Octavia was a life saver for a long day in the office for us. She looked after them so well and made sure they got their treat and a full water bowl when they got back in this warm weather. Cannot recommend enough!”
About: I work in education, have a current DBS, and live with my husband and children. We have previously had an indoor cat and have used the cat in a flat service before when we were away. We felt it was just as good as a cattery, and he had his own space and was calmer being at home. I have recently started to find opportunities to volunteer and work with cats which I am thoroughly enjoying.
About: I have had pets since I was 10 years old. I have had cats, dogs and kittens and also rabbits. I have experience looking after people’s kittens/cats/senior cats and also puppies/adult dogs and senior dogs. I have medication administration experience as our old senior cat had medical conditions which required medication. I love looking after furbabies to ensure their individual needs are being met taking into consideration their different personalities. I currently work a 9-5 job Monday to Friday but I am free evenings and over the weekend. Over the weekend I am more flexible to look after pets in my own home, take them for walks and do drop in sessions. I can also offer dog walking/ drop in sessions in the evening after work hours. I have a fenced backyard for your furbaby and I am a 5 minute walk away from a field. I am available to meet up prior to a sit/walk or drop in so I am able to meet you and your furbaby so you can assess who is going to look after your family member.
About: I have extensive experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses. I’ve grown up with pets and have also worked on farms and livery, giving me hands-on experience with both my own animals and others’. I love taking dogs on long walks, playing, and giving them lots of attention, and I’m equally comfortable relaxing at home with cats while keeping an eye on them. I’m enthusiastic, trustworthy, and genuinely care about each pet’s wellbeing. My experience with animals of all sizes and temperaments, from puppies to senior pets, allows me to provide reliable and compassionate care tailored to each individual. As a York St John university student, I have a flexible schedule and am free most of the time, allowing me to dedicate consistent care and attention to pets. I look after my own cat, Orbit, every day, and I’m passionate about giving animals love, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I provide pet care at the owner’s home, offering full attention to their pet’s needs. This includes regular walks, playtime, feeding, and any other care following the owner’s guidance to ensure each pet’s routine and wellbeing are maintained. I’m attentive, reliable, and always send updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and cared for.
About: I have been working with pets my entire life! I grew up taking care of dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses from the moment I learned how to walk! I became involved with dog and horse training when I was ten years old, including our own dogs as well! Pets are a part of the family, our dogs sit on the couch with us when watching our favorite shows and come with us on all of our adventures, no matter how big or small! Pet care has been at the root of my entire life, and it has gives me joy to be able to make animals happy! I am a current student who always has a book in her purse ready to read on the go! I have a very good balance of school and am available to always be able to care for dogs! I live next to a very large field for your dog to run or walk around in! I currently do not have any other pets because I am at school so if your fur baby is shy around other animals there is no worry!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, having looked after pets for family, friends and neighbours, as well as owning both a dog and cats myself. This has given me a good understanding of their individual personalities, routines and needs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care or simply providing companionship, I always ensure pets feel safe, comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s routine and will treat every animal with the same care and attention I would give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule allowing me to provide walks, feeding, playtime and companionship throughout the day. I plan my routine around the pets in my care to ensure they receive constant attention, exercise and affection while maintaining their usual routines. Whether it’s daily visits, walks or overnight care I am committed to providing reliable, attentive care that meets each pet’s individual needs. The safety and wellbeing of every pet is my top priority. I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality and any specific care instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether caring for pets in my home or an owner’s home I maintain a clean, safe and calm environment ensuring doors and gates are secure, hazardous items are kept out of reach and pets are never left unattended for longer than agreed. I treat every home with respect and can provide regular updates so owners have peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. For the past decade, I’ve owned and cared for more specialized pets like ferrets, which has given me a deep understanding of patience, attentiveness, and individualized care. I especially love dogs and have experience training puppies as well as caring for senior dogs who need a little extra gentleness and support. From high-energy youngsters to calm, elderly companions, I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s unique personality and needs. No dog feels unfamiliar to me, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'm available most (if not all) days of the week currently and have plenty of time in my day to care for your loving pet. I'll care for your pet in your own home to your standards and instructions including play, treats, and meals. I can also care for them in my home, but have only a limited terraced garden space for them to play outside (my home is big for roaming, for more indoor inclined dogs).
“Thank you for helping out this week Freya! We are very grateful that Freya was available at such short notice as we realised that both of our back up walkers were on holiday this week! Skye is cat reactive and selectively dog reactive so I messaged Freya because of her experience with her own rescue dog! She gave updates on how Skye had been during her walks. We worry about Skye because of her past and her behaviour which can appear unpredictable to people that don't know her. But felt confident she was in good hands. Thanks again!”
About: I have had dog all my life. At the moment I currently have 4 dogs. I also helped out in kennels in Tenerife last year. I am full time. Limited availability on Wednesday and Thursdays as I am at university but this can be done online if I am pet sitting. I will come round for a meet and greet to make sure me and your fur baby get along great. I also take veterinary details in case of an emergency. I will keep doors, gates, windows secure. I will be round all hours to make sure they are happy and looked after.
About: Hello I've been looking after dogs for around three years now and all the owners I have helped have given me great feedback on my service. Above all I am caring and professional and treat your pet as if it were my own. I work from home all day and so I can care for animals around my work schedule. I love to take dogs for walks from my home in York and am also able to stay at your home if that's of interest for you. I can happily accommodate any of your specific needs, just let me know what it is you need and we can happily have a chat in advance to allay any of your concerns.
“Emma is a very personable young lady who is very confident and capable with handling dogs. She has a relaxed and friendly approach with owners and has quickly achieved a happy rapport with our excitable and cuddlesome 2year old girl. Our Staffy Misty gives her a warm welcome and likes to be next to her and brings her toys for play. Most importantly Misty is comfortable with and happy to be with Emma. We will be using Emma whenever she is available and Misty needs home sitting. Emma provides a responsible and reliable able service at all times.”
About: My passion for caring for pets and ensuring they feel loved and safe is imperial. I can match the energy of your pet, whether they are calm or energetic so they feel right at home. I am currently a student and have a lot of independent study time that I can do from anywhere. I typically have Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays off, as well as the weekend. I enjoy going on walks and spending time outdoors and love the company of a pet! I will ensure your pet is safe and protected at all times. I will be sure to confirm if they can be with other animals or humans and make sure they are always comfortable. I am a very organized and clean individual and will keep your home tidy.
About: Hi, I’m Zoe 😊 I’ve had the joy of looking after dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, and I currently share my home with an energetic cocker spaniel who keeps me on my toes and reminds me daily how much love and fun our four-legged friends bring into our lives. I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

Lauren was an excellent communicator and was very respectful of our home. I appreciate the cute details in the walk updates and it's lovely to know he was so well cared for while we were unavailable. We came home to a happy, sleepy hound so I couldn't ask for more! ❤️
Naya’s second outing with Esme and hopefully just the beginning of a beautiful friendship! Everything was perfect. I am an anxious dog mum but Esme is reliable and communicative and I quickly felt at ease that my girl was well cared for. Thanks Esme- hope to see you again soon!
James has been an extremely reliable and brilliant dog walker! He always walks my dog at the time I ask, and I always felt comfortable with James letting himself into the house to take my dog for walks. Always loved seeing the pictures James would take of my dog on his walks. Would recommend James to anyone! 😊

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your York. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in York.
