“I had been let down by somebody last minute and I was going to be friends hen do. I contacted Ryan very last minute and he was able to fit me in! He and his partner are absolutely lovely and their home is gorgeous. They are such a lovely couple and they welcomed Rusty and Woody into their home as if they were their own dogs. I was nervous at first to leave Rusty and Woody with someone I didn’t know but as soon as I met Ryan and his partner any nerves disappeared! I wasn’t worried at all and my dogs even got to go meet his parents and brother and they love attention so they would have absolutely loved this! I know who I will be using in the future and I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you so much for giving Rusty and Woody a fabulous little holiday, they came back happy and sleepy so I know they had the best time. They’re looking forward to next time already :) thank you again xx”
“Kelsie watches Maggie overnight and was an exceptional dog boarder. She had great communication and was incredibly easy to arrange. Kelsie was great with Maggie, and her sweet dog was a tremendous co-host. Maggie had a great time and is looking forward to staying over again in the future!”
“Olivia and Dylan have provided an excellent service and sent pictures and updates regularly (on walks and at home having cuddles), which was very reassuring when we were on holiday. We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again to look after our dog. They are very experienced and our dog definitely felt at home and settled soon after I left her.”
“Isobel is absolutely lovely and Milo had a brilliant stay with her! She was so loving and took such good care of him. I would definitely recommend her and would happily send Milo to stay with her again!”
About: I'm well experienced dealing with dogs, having grown up around them. Throughout my life, I've had German shepherds, border collies, jack russells, labradors, and huskies. I currently have a young border collie called Misa. I've taken many of these dogs to obedience training classes so I have a good grasp on handling big, boisterous dogs! Misa and I go for 2 or 3 walks per day, your dog is welcome to come along with Misa or be walked individually. I live close to a number of parks, plus a short drive from Roundhay Park for those longer walks. I work from home so I'm always around and your dog will never be left alone for long. I also have a fully enclosed back garden that your dog will have access to. I'm familiar with medication administration, including tablets, oral liquids, ear drops and eye drops, so I can keep on top of your pet's medication if needed. Whenever I need to leave the house, I leave the dogs in a room which is monitored by video & audio. I receive a notification whenever noise is detected and I can actively monitor the dogs by video to make sure they are OK. Their room is also kitted with a calming diffuser made for pets, toys and water. Rest assured that your pet will be well cared for and well loved in our home! I work full-time from home, going for dog walks in the morning, evening, and midday. Your dog is welcome to come along with my dog, Misa, or you can opt for individual walks. I have a fully enclosed (walled) garden, so your dog will be completely safe and secure when outside. I can accommodate special diets and medication regimes. My dog is petite and submissive. She loves to play but is happy to relax if that's what the vibe calls for! Dogs are allowed on the sofas and beds in my house and I'm happy to give them a wash if they get particularly muddy!
“Georgina and Rich are the loveliest dog sitters! Our dog Nellie has a complicated personality and they understood her straight away, making her feel relaxed and at home. Nellie has stayed with Georgina and Rich a few times now and she always gets very excited when she arrives at their house. They keep us updated with messages and photos, and we know Nellie always enjoys staying with them, coming home relaxed and happy. We can’t recommend them highly enough!! Thanks guys xx”
“Rebecca was amazing, we had daily photos and updates and Dexter looked happy and at home. He had lots of walks, playtime and cuddles and we felt happy knowing he was settled while we were away. I would recommend to anyone who has a dog and we have already checked dates for next year.”
“Wow, what can I say. Klara was just simply amazing!! It's the first time we've left our dog with anyone other than family so I was a little nervous. But Klara put my mind at ease instantly. She is very experienced with dogs and this whole procedure. She kept us up to date from the moment we left him. Sending lots of pictures of him looking so happy every day. We honestly couldn't have wished for a better person to look after him. We will definitely use Klara again in the future. Thank you so much to you and your partner for loving our boy! Xx”

About: I'm currently a student Occupational Therapist who is really missing my family's pets while I'm at uni! 🐾 I love animals and know how important they are as valued members of the family! As a teenager I volunteered for the Cats Protection League and would clean litter trays for people in my local area who couldn't do so themselves. I would often dogsit for neighbours, and have even looked after someone's pet frogs before! 🐾 I adapt to whatever style of care your pet needs - some pets value calm and slow paced interactions, and some pets seem to have unlimited amounts of energy! My goal is to keep your pet happy in a style that is closest to their normal. 🐾 I am a very clean person, who will send regular updates via text and video. I have a fully enhanced DBS, and solid references :) 🐾
“Chloe looked after our cat over Christmas. She was brilliant and we returned to a very happy and well looked after cat. Chloe was also very happy to feed our two gerbils! Would absolutely recommend. So glad to have found Chloe and we will definitely be asking her to come again when we go away again!”
“Highly recommend Ryan and will definitely use him again. Great communication throughout and went the extra mile to make sure my dog, Nala was looked after and happy while I was away. Thanks again Ryan, great job mate 👍🏻”
“Toni was fantastic in caring for my cat Ruby. She took time to listen to her needs and contacted me with updates and photos during her visit. I came home to a very happy and relaxed cat. Ruby instantly took to Toni the moment she met her. I would highly recommend Toni to anyone requiring a cat sitter and I will definitely use her services again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a child. I have had a Cane Corso and a French Bulldog. I am extremely responsible and treat all dogs I sit as my own. In the past year I took full time care of a French bulldog whilst his owner was at work. This included looking after him 7am - 5pm involving everything from feeding, walkies, playtime to bathing, brushing and sleepovers. My schedule is flexible as I work from home most of the week. I can also sit during the weekends, overnight or do stays when you go on a holiday. I always ensure maximum safety for my dogs. Depending on their personality, I remove objects they might chew / eat. I have them on the lead unless it is safe for them to be off and you give me prior permission. I ensure they have access to water at all times. I do not leave them alone at any time to ensure they are safe and are well taken care of.
“Isabelle is a lovely young lady! She came for a visit before doing a few “drop ins” for me. She sent me photos and communicated well to make sure she knew exactly what my puppy needed when she came. Highly recommend her. 100% will be booking Isabelle again for drop ins / walks.”
About: Although I do not have a life’s long experience with owning cats, I have learnt so much from my rescue cat. After a lot of love and attention he has become the loviest, most affectionate cat. I love to treat any animal like they’re my own. I am very familiar with being around all types of animals, and their well-being is my top priority.
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. Since I was a child our family home welcomed different kinds of pets and I enjoyed looking after them. I love being around animals as they simply make me smile and feel happy. In my home country we have a cat called Joey, a dog called Phoebe, and a hamster called Tengu. I also have taken care of friends and family's cats where I have fed, played and cared for them. I'm a reliable, patient and neat person. I work with children and I'm fully DBS checked. I'm happy to offer drop-in visits, pet and house-sitting services.
About: I recently held a part time job working in a local kennel and cattery. In addition, prior to moving to England, I worked in a cattery in Dundee. This experience has allowed me to gain confidence working with smaller animals and understanding the care they require when they are away from their owners. In both placements, I had similar roles such as cleaning out the kennels, feeding the pets taking into account their dietary requirements and administering medication and leading conversations with owners to make sure the pets needs were met while they stayed with us. I developed an understanding of how stressful this environment can be for a pet separated from their owner and how this can be managed. This experience has helped me develop relationships with animals and their owners and gain their trust, an area of great importance when looking after animals. I spent three months volunteering six-hours per week at Parkhill Vets, Wetherby observing and participating in consultations and assisting peri and post-operatively. This experience provided an opportunity to develop communication, leadership, teamwork skills and understand the difficulties faced by practitioners and owners. confronted with emotional dilemmas such as euthanasia. I attended consultations on vaccinations, insurance and routine check-ups with opportunities to lead these consults under supervision, an experience I thrived in and grew in confidence. This opportunity was unfortunately shortened by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. I have experience working at the local kennels and cattery. I lead conversations with the clients to ensure the needs of the animals are met. Prior to this, I spent two years working at the Brae Riding School for the Disabled.
About: I’ve had cats my whole life and currently care for 5 of my own, so I understand how important it is for cats to feel safe, comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for cats of different ages, personalities and needs, from playful kittens to older cats who need extra patience and attention. I’ve provided drop-in visits for family, friends and clients for many years, including feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, playtime, cuddles and keeping cats company while maintaining their usual routine. I’m very patient, caring and passionate about animals, and I always make sure each cat feels relaxed and well looked after. I understand that every cat is different, so I take the time to build trust and make them feel comfortable at their own pace. I’m reliable, attentive and happy to send updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently working as a dental nurse 4 days a week, but I’m available for drop-in visits before and after work, as well as on my days off and weekends. I’m reliable, flexible and happy to work around your cat’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone trustworthy, caring and attentive. I always make sure cats feel safe, comfortable and relaxed in their own environment while sticking closely to their normal routine.

About: I am 22 years old, from Boston Spa, Wetherby. Im active and love the outdoors where I spend my free time horse-riding. I recently graduated as an Equine Sports Science graduate, the study of horse biology and exercise physiology, which also covers cats and dogs, due to similarities. I’ve gained better knowledge of animal health/welfare, understanding of behaviour and first aid, all of which can be transferred to pet sitting. I’ve had the pleasure of having pets my entire life from family dogs, cats and horses, therefore, have a good understanding on how they work. I have previous experience in pet sitting as for the past few years I have dog sat as a part time job, gaining knowledge on caring for other dogs/cats on a deeper level, living with them in their own home whilst learning how pet sitting works (I can provide multiple references, if requested). In 2021, I travelled to Aruba for 3 months for work experience with animals. I shadowed at the local vets and worked at a sanctuary. After this I worked at an equine retraining centre in Australia for 4 months and lived with a family, caring for their 6 dachshunds and one great Dane! I understand every animal is unique, which is why I approach each pet with a tailored, gentle and professional mindset. With a strong background in animal care and genuine love for them, I create a stress-free environment where pets feel happy in their home. I am currently living at home in Boston Spa with my car, so im available whenever needed ! I have a couple part time jobs along side. I have a fenced off garden and live in the countryside, therefore there’s plenty of good walking routes. I have a cockerdore at home give them company. I also own a cat, so only cat friendly dogs please.
“Very happy dog owner, klara has been so good at communicating with us before and during dog sitting kobe. Kobe seems a very happy dog now and is knackered after lots of attention and walks from klara. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter in Leeds city centre! 😊”

About: Hi, I'm Emily, a mum of two who has recently found herself with a little more time on her hands while taking a break from ICU nursing after 12 rewarding years in the profession. Because of my long working hours, we've never been in a position to have a dog of our own, but our family is absolutely dog-mad! I love any opportunity to care for dogs, whether that's pet-sitting for friends or taking their dogs out for walks. Having grown up in a home full of pets, including both dogs and cats, I've always been surrounded by animals and understand the love, care, and attention they need. I would love to combine my passion for animals with my enjoyment of the outdoors by helping to care for your furry friends. Whether it's walks, companionship, or pet sitting, I will treat your pets with the same care and affection as if they were my own. Following some recent family bereavements, I've taken the opportunity to reassess my priorities and spend more time doing things that bring me joy and fit around family life. As a result, I now have excellent availability, particularly during school hours. I am a reliable and trustworthy person with a strong background in caring for others. I hold a current DBS check and have spent my entire adult life working in healthcare, where responsibility, compassion, and attention to detail are essential. Caring for others comes naturally to me, and I will provide your pet with the same level of care, kindness, and dedication.

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats all my adult life, which means I have real, hands on experience with every stage of pet care. From energetic puppies to gentle senior pets.

I always follow your pet’s usual routine closely so everything feels familiar and comfortable for them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine.

About: I have my own dog walking business. I've lived in Wetherby all my life and im proud to offer a trusted, local dog walking and pet care service loved by many in our community. My journey into dog walking began with my own rescue, Duke, who came to me as a reactive boy with a big personality. He taught me patience, confidence, and the incredible importance of understanding what dogs truly need, lessons that shaped how i care for every animal i meet. I'm IMDT accredited in canine body language, i've attended their puppy course and i continue to expand my qualifications. I'm canine first aid trained, and fully insured, with a wealth of knowledge across breeds and temperaments. Before starting my business, i had hands on experience working with all kind of animals from calves and lambs to collies on the farm, giving me a well rounded understanding of animal behaviour and care. Whether i'm walking your dog, visiting your puppy, or checking in on your cat, i treat every pet as if they were my own, with kindness, respect and a big dose of enthusiasm. I'm proud to be known locally as "Local, Loved, and Trusted" I work full time as a dog walker between 8am–3pm on weekdays, alongside pet sitting and cat care visits before and after these hours. My schedule varies daily as I plan walks in small, well-matched groups to suit each dog. Dogs in my care should be comfortable being left for up to 4–5 hours, although I often bring pet sitting dogs along with me so they can enjoy walks and social time. A walk is always included. I live with my boyfriend and our dog, and I have experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and ages. This is my full-time job, and I plan my days around the dogs in my care. I currently offer pet care in owners’ homes, as I have recently moved and am in the process of obtaining my home boarding licence. In your home, I follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and settled. I provide daily updates with photos via social media and text, so you always know how your pet is doing. I take pride in being clean, respectful, and leaving your home exactly as I found it, if not better. For walks, I use my own secure leads and provide an additional tag with my details for extra safety. I always prioritise your pet’s wellbeing, security, and comfort while in my care.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have always had a passion for animals. Having grown up around dogs and cared for my own, I have developed a strong understanding of their needs, routines, and behaviours. I am home full-time and available seven days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I have my own Lhasa Apso called Romeo, who I walk twice a day, so I understand the importance of regular exercise, mental stimulation, and companionship. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, shorter strolls, playtime, or simply having company, I am happy to tailor my care to their individual needs.
“Would recommend Danielle, she came to meet me and Dottie before the first dog walk. Everything went well on the day and I would definitely be happy to leave Dottie with Danielle again. Thank you.”
“Courtney helped us out massively when we had a super quick turn around organising a wedding at Harrogate registry office. We needed someone to walk our two little pooches during the ceremony so all our loved ones could attend and she was there as soon as we arrived, and kept them for a little longer as the ceremony ran over. Marlow and Reggie returned super happy! The wedding was so special and we are so grateful to Courtney for helping us out 🥰”
About: I adore dogs! I have helped run a dog kennels for over 3 years before I went travelling. I have also worked at a dog and cat animal charity for 1.5 years in Edinburgh, where I'm from. When I was travelling in Australia I also done dog walking as I needed my doggy fix down under as well. I had a family dog who was my absolute soul dog and best friend. I would care for your dog like it was my own furry pal. I currently work in the nhs supporting children with mental health issues. This is a challenging but very rewarding career. I do miss having furry, four legged friends in my life though. My schedule changes each week and I can be working different days each week but my work can be flexible if I'm given enough notice as to what days you need pet cover. We have a fenced garden at the back of the property. We now have our own golden retriever pup called ozzy who is the centre of our universe. Due to this I have put a hold on dog boarding in my house but still more than happy to drop by to owners houses to keep your pooch company as well as offer dog walking services.
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a child. I have had a Cane Corso and a French Bulldog. I am extremely responsible and treat all dogs I sit as my own. In the past year I took full time care of a French bulldog whilst his owner was at work. This included looking after him 7am - 5pm involving everything from feeding, walkies, playtime to bathing, brushing and sleepovers. My schedule is flexible as I work from home most of the week. I can also sit during the weekends, overnight or do stays when you go on a holiday. I always ensure maximum safety for my dogs. Depending on their personality, I remove objects they might chew / eat. I have them on the lead unless it is safe for them to be off and you give me prior permission. I ensure they have access to water at all times. I do not leave them alone at any time to ensure they are safe and are well taken care of.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs being a huge part of my life and have always loved looking after them. I’ve regularly cared for dogs belonging to family, friends and neighbours, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog and their personality. I’m currently home from university, so I have lots of free time and a really flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the week and at weekends, and I’m more than happy to work around your pet’s usual routine. I can give them plenty of attention, walks and company throughout the day. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including walks, feeding and medication, while providing a calm, caring environment and always prioritising their comfort, wellbeing and safety.
“Our dog adores Liam, always happy to see him. Liam brings with home many years of living with dogs and academic qualifications, not only is he giving our dog the daytime exercise and attention he needs, but also experience on how to raise and train a puppy. Thank you Liam”
About: I have grown up around many animals hamsters, rabbits, fish, cats and dogs. I have a pet of my own, a cockapoo (June 2021) so I am use to looking after a pet 24/7. I also have CPD accredited dog first aid training :) I work from home so have the opportunity to look after pets alongside my everyday routine. I have lots of spare time at the weekends to give a pet full attention. I have a large outdoor space with private access for a pet to run around and live near lots of parks and trails to give animals more space that they may require. I have room to cater for pets and their needs.
“Kjempefornøyd med Helene,? hun var med på tur og ble kjent før hun passer hundene i mitt hjem. Hun er flink med mine 3 store hunder og tydelig vant med hund, leste de godt. Jeg fikk oppdatering og bilder daglig. Hundene virket fornøyde og rolige når jeg kom hjem. Jeg kunne se at de hadde hatt det bra ??”

“This was the first time we used Jessica, and we were not disappointed. From the messages before the visit to the care and photo updates while we were away, everything was excellent. Boris, being a bulldog, has specific food requirements and a set routine, which Jessica and her family adapted to perfectly. We felt completely reassured knowing he was in such good hands. We will definitely be using Jessica again in the future. Boris does not like the car and we always have trouble on collection but Jessica’s husband helped get Boris in the car with care, he is now snuggled up having had his favourite dinner , doing his favourite hobby of snoozing 💤”
“I had been let down by somebody last minute and I was going to be friends hen do. I contacted Ryan very last minute and he was able to fit me in! He and his partner are absolutely lovely and their home is gorgeous. They are such a lovely couple and they welcomed Rusty and Woody into their home as if they were their own dogs. I was nervous at first to leave Rusty and Woody with someone I didn’t know but as soon as I met Ryan and his partner any nerves disappeared! I wasn’t worried at all and my dogs even got to go meet his parents and brother and they love attention so they would have absolutely loved this! I know who I will be using in the future and I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you so much for giving Rusty and Woody a fabulous little holiday, they came back happy and sleepy so I know they had the best time. They’re looking forward to next time already :) thank you again xx”
“Amanda was amazing with our cockapoo. He settled in very quickly and had a great week with Amanda and her lovely family. We got multiple updates daily with both pictures and videos showing the adventures Cassius was having. I highly recommend Amanda.”
“Frankie absolutely loves her stays with Hollie, Ed & Oscar. They look after her like their own and always keep us in the loop. I always know Frankie is in good hands and can enjoy my holidays without any worries. Thank you as always and I know Frankie is already looking forward to her next stay! X”
“Anastasia took wonderful care of our one year old pup and sent us lots of adorable photos during his stay as well, which we loved. 10/10 would definitely recommend!”
“Constancia is a great sitter and went the extra mile to make sure our 2 samoyeds were happy and at home during their stay. She sent regular updates so I knew how they were and I would have no hesitation in booking them in to stay again.”
About: I'm well experienced dealing with dogs, having grown up around them. Throughout my life, I've had German shepherds, border collies, jack russells, labradors, and huskies. I currently have a young border collie called Misa. I've taken many of these dogs to obedience training classes so I have a good grasp on handling big, boisterous dogs! Misa and I go for 2 or 3 walks per day, your dog is welcome to come along with Misa or be walked individually. I live close to a number of parks, plus a short drive from Roundhay Park for those longer walks. I work from home so I'm always around and your dog will never be left alone for long. I also have a fully enclosed back garden that your dog will have access to. I'm familiar with medication administration, including tablets, oral liquids, ear drops and eye drops, so I can keep on top of your pet's medication if needed. Whenever I need to leave the house, I leave the dogs in a room which is monitored by video & audio. I receive a notification whenever noise is detected and I can actively monitor the dogs by video to make sure they are OK. Their room is also kitted with a calming diffuser made for pets, toys and water. Rest assured that your pet will be well cared for and well loved in our home! I work full-time from home, going for dog walks in the morning, evening, and midday. Your dog is welcome to come along with my dog, Misa, or you can opt for individual walks. I have a fully enclosed (walled) garden, so your dog will be completely safe and secure when outside. I can accommodate special diets and medication regimes. My dog is petite and submissive. She loves to play but is happy to relax if that's what the vibe calls for! Dogs are allowed on the sofas and beds in my house and I'm happy to give them a wash if they get particularly muddy!
“We would highly recommend Charlotte if you’re looking for a sitter, she was absolutely great from organising a meet and greet and providing regular updates while we were away. Olive had a lovely time and didn’t want to leave when we came to pick her up!”
“Vivianne and her lovely family have looked after our dog, Gus, like he was their own dog, which is just what we wanted whilst we were away. They made us feel so confident to go on holiday and leave our new, BIG, hairy puppy knowing he was happy and well looked after. Vivianne kept us updated, at least once a day if not more, throughout our holiday and we looked forward to seeing what Gus had been up to. It made our holiday even better than it was. It was the cherry on top! What a great dog sitter and we will definitely be using Vivianne and her lovely family again for our next holiday! Thank you so much, Vivianne.”
“Jane was fantastic. She made us feel really comfortable leaving our dog with her. She sent regular updates/photos and it was easy to see our dog was having a great time. Would highly recommend!!”
About: I have looked after pets for friends, family, and neighbours ever since I was young and always build a special bond with any pet I am lucky enough to spend time with. Whether it’s walking or sitting, I always take time with owners to understand their pet’s needs and to reassure that their pet will be given the best care and attention. I currently work from home 4 days a week with the occasional week where I need to travel for 1-2 days. I am flexible and can provide week long or weekend stays I have a fenced garden and plenty of great walking routes nearby including a shady wood for those hot days and multiple parks with fields for roaming My house is roomy and perfect for pooches to laze about in
“Highly highly recommend leaving your pets with Kira! Our 7-month puppy had the best time at hers, was well looked after in a heatwave, was safe uand happy. She has a wonderful dog proof home and a supportive partner - it was a perfect environment and company for our puppy. We received frequent updates and photos. Their communication was great and flexible.”
“We went in to york for 3 days and toby was very happy with Christine. On day 2 and 3 , he actually pulled us round the corner and all the way up to her front door! Thank you for looking after him so well”
“Its hard to leave your fur baby with a new sitter but Thomas did a wonderful job of putting me at ease and keeping me updated each day. Pepper had a wonderful time and not sure he wanted to come home 😁”
“Ewan and Katy are a wonderful couple who care for our furry friend when we need to be away. I know he will be looked after and loved. We get updates and pictures and I know they are looking forward to having him again in April. It is so comforting to know that you can leave your dog in their hands and he settles so well. Thank you both from Charlie, Rachel and Keith”
