“We had a great experience with Jonny as our cat sitter. He was reliable, attentive, and clearly cares about animals. Our cats were happy and well looked after when we got home, and we appreciated the updates along the way. We’d definitely use Jonny again and highly recommend him!”

About: Having worked in pets at home from age 16 for 5 years I got to learn all the basics of animal care for a variety of pets. I've grown up around spaniels and have a beautiful 3 year old male working cocker spaniel who loves a friend to play with. I've also previously walked dogs as a part time job as well as care for people's pets through borrow my doggy before I got my dog. I currently work full time as a nurse, my weekends are free and I also have a day off during the week where I would be happy to help out with dog walking or visits. I have a fully secured back garden with grass and patio and no flower/plant borders making it very secure and safe for dogs. I would treat your dog the same as my own whilst also respecting their routine and normal house rules.

“Ewan was very kind and attentive, asking lots of questions to make sure Toby was looked after well. Will definitely ask Ewan again if Toby needs looking after!”

“Sydney was great with my dogs. I came home to find them calm and happy. She followed the instructions we asked her and she provided excellent updates.”

“Octavia-Louise was a godsend today when we needed help to look after our boy who has recently been attacked. He took to her immediately and is clearly very kind hearted. As I was also attacked this has been such a benefit to me to know he’s been taken care of when I had to go out”

“Yang was an excellent help with our kitten while we were away for the best part of a week. She met with us beforehand to get familiar with the cat, and attended twice a day just as requested, doing the cat essentials but also playing with him. Our cat had a few accidents while we were away, and Yang was so great cleaning up and keeping us updated with everything that happened. We'd definitely consider booking her again. Thank you, Yang!”

About: Hi, I’m Beatriz! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and absolutely love having them as part of my day 🐾 After moving away for university, I really missed being around dogs, so I joined BorrowMyDoggy where I built up a great network of dogs I regularly cared for. This gave me experience with different breeds, personalities, and routines. Since moving to York, I’ve continued dog sitting and now have two regular dogs I look after. I also have experience with more nervous dogs—my mum’s dog is quite anxious and can be scared of new people and other dogs, so I’m used to being patient, reading their body language, and helping them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve also cared for family dogs for longer stays (up to two weeks at a time), so I’m very comfortable with overnight and extended care. I work from home 2–3 days a week, which means I can be flexible—perfect for daytime sitting, lunchtime walks, or keeping your dog company throughout the day. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with dogs—whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just giving them lots of attention and care. I’ll always treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine, especially during the week. I work from home 2–3 days a week, so I’m able to offer daytime care, have dogs stay with me while I work, and do lunchtime walks. During weekdays I have a flexible schedule, which means I can give dogs plenty of attention, regular walks, and company throughout the day. I do tend to be a bit busier on weekends, so I’m usually better suited to weekday walks, daycare, or sitting. That said, I’m still happy to help with overnight stays over weekends when planned in advance. I always aim to make pets feel as safe, comfortable, and relaxed as possible—whether they’re in my home or their own. At my home, I have a small garden for quick toilet breaks, as well as a great, fully fenced green space nearby for safe walks and playtime. I keep a calm, clean environment and stick closely to each dog’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions you provide. For stays in my home, I do ask that dogs are house-trained. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and make sure to follow all routines as closely as possible to keep things familiar and stress-free for the dog. I’m attentive to their behaviour, especially with more nervous dogs, and always take a patient, gentle approach to help them feel secure. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe hands.

“Ami was absolutely amazing with our kitten Figaro. This was our first time going away since getting him, so we were a bit nervous, but she made the whole experience so easy and reassuring. She sent us detailed updates with the cutest photos, which we really looked forward to every day. It was clear she followed all our instructions carefully, including Figaro’s little quirks (like his specific way of taking omega-3 and how he likes to play). Most importantly, we could see how relaxed and happy he was with her. He clearly really liked her. Ami took the job seriously and gave Figaro so much care and attention. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again 💛”

I currently work local and I’m happy to drop in with your pet for a lunch time walk. I work part time hours so can accommodate your pets needs and suitabilities.

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.

“So happy to be able to leave my babies with Helen and know that they are in such good and caring hands! Everything was perfect, as always. Thank you so much 💚”

About: I have experience supporting dogs from energetic puppies to senior dogs since the age of 13, so I know how to keep tails wagging at every stage of life. I have cared for small dogs but also have a lot of experience looking after larger breeds. I am very compassionate towards animals and would treat anyone’s pet as my own. I work full time in York but am available before 8am and after 5pm most weekdays. I can also be free weekends with advanced notice. When caring for pets in your home I will adhere to any rules or information I am given. I am happy to follow any routine your pet has and I will leave your house the way I found it.

“Brooke is amazing. We were really apprehensive about using a service like this because our cat is really shy and hides from everyone, however Brooke was able to connect with Frida on day one which was incredible. I would high recommend Brooke.”

Jerone G.

“Chloe was very professional and I would highly recommend her services to anyone. Chloe did two house drop ins for my American bulldog Royston. She updated me with photos. She was able to give Royston the company and care he needed. Thank you I’ll 100% use your services again.”

About: Hi! I’m Max and I’m 22. I have grown up with dogs - from a yappy, moody Shih Tzu to two needy French Bulldogs and three dopey, dribbly Newfoundlands. My parents even have two Sulcata tortoises! My girlfriend and I moved to York together for University a few years ago and, having graduated, decided to stay here. We’re not currently in a position to have a dog of our own but I am very much missing having so many dogs in my life! I currently work from home as a freelance illustrator, meaning I’m happy to work completely around your schedule. Whether it’s long walks, constant attention or an oddly specific dinner time, you can rest assured that I will maintain your pups routine. As a freelance illustrator working from home, I’m able to cater completely to your pets needs, whether it be hourly wee breaks, lots of play time or long walks. I’m available to house-sit for under a week. My partner is just as excited about the prospect of meeting new pets so she may help with walks and come to give even more fuss and attention when she’s free (with the owner’s permission of course!) I will follow advice from the owner regarding any safety instructions, off-limits areas of the house, how much attention your pet likes & needs, and any recommended routes for walks.

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.

“Caitlin looked after our two cats and we would not hesitate to book her again! She was very friendly and easy to contact, following all care instructions and getting on well with our boys.”
