“What an amazing experience! Johnny looked after our cat for a week while we were in Morocco- we came back to a happy shiny cat and a pristine house. He is respectful, thoughtful and very friendly. Luna has the best time and I can’t recommend her new friend Johnny highly enough! Brilliant service!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs from an early age but have only gained a substantial client base within the past few years. I enjoy the outdoors so I’d love to take your pooch into the park or country! I’ve looked after dogs with all temperaments and I strive to achieve their needs and comforts. 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. I’m happy at crating dogs and taking them out at suitable and comfortable times for them. In my own home I have a fenced garden and I’m happy to sit and build trust slowly and carefully

About: I have been living with dogs since I was 6 years old, and my late dog was part of our family for 18 years. I am confident in caring for dogs, including walking, feeding, brushing, and giving massages, as these were my responsibilities back in Japan. I also have experience caring for both young and senior dogs. Although I do not yet have dog-sitting experience, one of my friends who is experienced with Rover has shared helpful advice and supports me whenever needed. I am currently studying for my master’s degree at university, and I would love the opportunity to spend time with lovely dogs while living here. I’m currently studying at university and have a flexible schedule to spend quality time with your dogs. I am available to work from 11am to 6pm. I can take your dog on walks wherever and however they enjoy, as I have plenty of stamina and love being active with dogs. I mainly have experience with small dogs, but I am also comfortable with larger dogs, as I have experience handling horses as well.

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: 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.

“Lucy did amazing with looking after my anxious cat. She followed every instruction left which gave me total peace of mind while I was away! I would 100% recommend her to anyone and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again in the future.”

“We’ve just got back from a few days away to a very happy and content Stevie! Emma was absolutely brilliant at keeping us informed at all times, and we loved getting the report card each day 😂 Stevie is generally skittish with new people, so seeing that she loved Emma so much was a great comfort. I couldn’t recommend Emma enough, and would love to have her look after Stevie again in the future!”

“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!”

Sam P.

“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 was very relieved to be able to book Jonathan to come and feed Hugo when I couldn't get home until late, but also a little anxious as Hugo is very wary of strangers. I needn't have worried as he was completely unstressed and happily fed when I got home. I could see that Jonathan had cleaned and tidied the feeding area before putting out fresh food and I would definitely use his services again if the need arose. I would wholeheartedly recommend him!”

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.

“Octavia-Louise did a great job looking after my cat over the Christmas break. He is particularly timid and she worked very hard to bring him on side!”

“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.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats in China. My 6 year-old Pomeranian and 2-year-old cat have taught me a lot about different personalities, routines, and needs. I am familiar with feeding schedules, administering medication, litter box maintenance, gentle grooming, and recognizing subtle behavioral cues. Hi! I’m a gentle, patient, and animal-loving freelance illustrator. Because I work from home, I have plenty of time to spend with pets, whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company. I maintain feeding schedules, fresh water, and bathroom routines. Also I observe moods and behaviors closely, noting any changes or concerns. I make sure pets feel comfortable and loved while you’re away, with regular updates and photos.
