“Kelly is simply great! Clear comms and a pre booking meet up to make sure everyone including the dogs are happy. Left the 2 girls with Kelly knowing they were in good hands with an experienced person. Dogs probably had a better holiday than I did. We’ll certainly be back.”
“Doris had a great time with Jordan, great communication and really accommodating. Looking at booing our next trip so Doris can visit Jordan again (this is her 2nd time staying!) 🩷 highly recommended 🐾”
“Michael was lovely and understood the importance of sticking as closely as possible to Otto's normal routine during his stay. He sent regular photo and message updates as requested and my boy just settled straight away in his home (which is lovely and quiet). I've already rebooked several times and I'm sure Michael and my Otto will be the best of friends. Thank you Michael, the best possible alternative to kennels”
“Leah, was excellent. Communication before was great and Leah responded immediately to all questions. Katy and Teddy had a super time and Leah was all prepared when they arrived introducing them carefully to Louis, Leah's lovely little dog. It was a home from home. for Teddy and Katy who can't wait to go back. We will definitely use Leah again and can not recommend her highly enough.”
“Chrissy has been amazing looking after our doggo for 6 nights. She kept us updated daily with photos and we returned to a relaxed and very at home pup when we went to pick her up. Would use again and can highly recommend.”
“I can’t recommend Zixuan highly enough! She’s looked after our dog Baxter wonderfully, he’s had a brilliant week with her and her dog and kept us updated with lots of photos and videos.”
“Jamie looked after our 2 dogs for a night & it was an excellent experience. We met him & his girls before the date, he was flexible with drop off & pick up times & sent photos from walls and other updates. We would be very happy to leave the dogs with Jamie again, they were clearly well looked after & happy. Definitely recommend and thank you very much.”
“Charlie stayed overnight with Katherine and I am grateful of the care he received. He was happy and relaxed when I picked him up and I know he was in good hands”
“Emma looked after our rescue dog overnight at short notice - a lifesaver! . She kept in touch throughout the stay, sending regular updates and photos which really helped alleviate my anxiety. Would definitely recommend Emma to others. Many thanks”
“We picked up a very happy puppy. Kathryn was absolutely brilliant with him. Great communication! We would definitely recommend Kathryn to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Highly recommended! Unequivocally 5 stars. My dog Milo has never stayed with anyone other than family before and can be anxious around other dogs due to bad experiences in his socialisation phase but he settled beautifully in Michelle and Andy’s home and had great fun with their dogs. I received regular updates and enjoyed my short break away knowing he was cared for so well in their home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again should the opportunity arise.”
“I’m so pleased with the care Jiaqi gave Cody during his stay. I had to make a last-minute booking as we were travelling to Scotland to collect and bring some things back to York, and Jiaqi was kind enough to accept the booking at short notice. She kept me updated throughout Cody’s stay with lovely photos and videos, which was really reassuring and made me feel that he was happy and well looked after. When we were on our way to pick Cody up, our van suddenly broke down on the A64, not far from Jiaqi’s house. It was a very stressful situation, but Jiaqi was incredibly patient and understanding while we dealt with the breakdown and the unexpected delay. Cody clearly had a lovely time and was very well cared for. I really appreciated Jiaqi’s kindness, patience and communication, and I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Wendy was absolutely brilliant with Doc, my Labradoodle. I could see from the minute he arrived there that he was so welcome. Doc settled in straightaway and just loved going on walks with Wendy too. I would definitely recommend Wendy to care for your lovely doggies. We will be booking again, thank you 😊🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“Jaye & Johnny looked after our boy for a night during the hot summer weather, he was very well cared for with use of their doggy paddling pool and taken out during the early hours of the morning to make sure it was an appropriate temperature. We recieved pictures of him and reassurance that he was fine. We really appreciate the care that they clearly have for pets and treat them like their own. Will definitely be booking again in the future. Thanks guys 🥰🐾”

“Although my cat isnt the most social Jessica made sure to make sure she saw her and make friends, enticing with a treat really helped! Lottie was well looked after and the updates on the report cards were lovely as this is the longest we'd ever left her so this gave us peace of mind. Communication was excellent and I had no worries while we were away, when we next go away Jessica will be our first option to look after our girl and hopefully Lottie will be friends next time!”
“Amy was an absolute superstar. She put our minds at ease right away, and our little Gwyn loved being top kitty for a little while! Would definitely look to use her for future bookings.”

About: I have been a petsiitter, walker, companion for many years. I love all fur babies, recently looked after chickens too. I am First Aid trained and can administer medicines. I have a car, i cover the Ryedale and surrounding areas. Will consider further afield but a minimum of one continous week. Always recommend a meetup before a booking for a cuppa and maybe a biscuit 😉 Recently retired. As i am an animal lover and experienced pet sitter for cats, dogs, chickens i can't think of a better way to spend my time. I cannot look after pets in my own home sadly. I can only offer pet sitting, Vet visits, Pop-ins for all fur babies, chickens, feeding, comforting, walking. Sadly I cannot look after reactive dogs because of past experience.
“Jordan must've been brilliant because my dogs didn't seem that bothered about coming home with me when I arrived to pick them up. Everything was very relaxed, easy and stress free. Thanks for keeping them company.”
“Claire was a fantastic help last minute when we needed help. She was very clear with instructions which was good with us just visiting the area on holiday. Our dog had a fantastic day with Claire and her family and her outdoor space and set up is excellent. We were so impressed with how personable Claire was that we asked if we could book her again whilst we’re here on holiday with full peace of mind!”
“Harley had such a wonder time time with Laura :) It was her first time staying with somebody she didn’t know but Laura really made her feel at home. She is very friendly and we couldn’t have chosen anyone better. She enjoyed a 7 mile walk and had a great time. Would definitely stay with her again and couldn’t recommend her highly enough.”
About: Hello, thank you for looking at my profile 🙂 I am a huge dog lover and truly enjoy spending time hanging out with pups, be it our own or yours! Having grown up on a farms with dogs I have several years of experiencing as well as now owning my own 🫶🏼 I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog, and always treat every dog as if they were my own. I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and happy while you’re away. Having two dogs myself, my home is very dog-friendly and a welcoming space where dogs can relax and be themselves. There’s plenty of room to move around, play, and settle in comfortably, whether your dog is energetic and playful or more laid-back and cuddly. I am happy to stick to your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and downtime, so they feel right at home. I love to hike and get out into nature, and the dogs always come along for the ride! Being on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors there are have some amazing walks right on our doorstep 🍂 I know first hand that leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, so I do my best to communicate clearly and make the experience easy and reassuring for both you and your dog. Daily pupdates are always available if you’d like that, as are introductory meet ups before your dogs stay with me so we can get to know each other. I hope to hear from you soon! 🐾 I work from home so am available every weekday and weekends for doggy care 🐕 Morning walks, lunchtime trots and perhaps even the odd run, they will get plenty of exercise and never be short of stimulation! The garden is fully fenced and dog proof, meaning no escapees! I have got a large open plan kitchen diner that can take a crate if needed for your dog, or if you’d rather they weren’t in a crate that’s also absolutely fine, we’ve got plenty of space for an extra snuggly bed!

“A big thank you to Nicole for looking after Indi again t was obvious how much Indi enjoys being with Nicole by India's reaction when I dropped her off. She was so excited to be at Nicole's again. I received lots of photos showing Indi enjoying herself. I will have no hesitation of using Nicole again when I need weekend doggy day care.”
“Alicia was great with our 8 month husky/labrador cross, Haribo. She was very professional and provided a pick-up and drop-off service as well. Alicia provided him a whole day of adventures with her dog, trained him with recall and walking to heel, and sitting patiently in cafes. He absolutely had a lovely time with Alicia and his new doggy friend! We got lots of lovely videos and pictures 🥰 highly recommended and we will definitely be rebooking in the future!”

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.
“We were over the moon with Cariana and the way she looked after Ziggy for the day! She kept us updated with plenty of pictures and I just knew Ziggy was being very well looked after. She was a very happy pup and we really appreciated the care Cariana provided. Would highly recommend! Thank you Cariana!”
“Vanessa, Chris and their 3 boys cared for our cocker spaniel two weekends in a row. They took her on lots of lovely walks and played with her in their garden sending lots of updates though out the time that they had her. She came home happy and tired! Would definitely recommend.”
“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.”
“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!”

About: I have lots of experience caring for pets as my degree has allowed me to work in both kennels and catteries, getting to know different animals and how to care for them. I have always had pets in the house and have a great love for all animals. My degree is quite full on, however midweek and weekends I would be able fit you and your pet in. Being around animals is very important to me and I often drop anything for the opportunity to cuddle a cute pup I am not able to have pets in my home at the moment but would be more than happy looking after your pet in your home, or taking your dogs for walks. I would be more confident walking dogs on leads as I would be worried if they do not have strong recall skills, however I would always ensure they have enough excercise.
“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 ??”
About: I have had many pets over the years. From a donkey, goats, chickens and of course dogs! I stumbled across offering care for other people's dogs by accident really, but it works really well. I care for our extended family and friends dogs in my home while they go away on holiday. I lost my gorgeous dog four years ago and miss him terribly. I decided this would be a great way to enjoy having the company of a dog again. My dog was a whippet so I know what a good walk looks like! I am are registered on trusted house sitters and have five star reviews from all my sits. I have no dogs myself so your dog would be the only dog to be cared for whilst with me. You can go away knowing your dog would be having a lovely holiday with me while you are having your own holiday. They fit in as my pet for the duration of their stay. If I stayed in your home you could rest assured I know how to look after a home. I have been married for over 40 years. I have an acre garden so grass cutting does not faze me either.

I have flexible work arrangements, so can discuss your needs and what you require for your pet care requirements. Any queries feel free to ask I have a safe secure home, with a garden and am willing to travel to pet owners homes. Happy to discuss any requirements the customer may have
About: Since childhood, I have always had a family dog, so being around and caring for dogs has been a big part of my life. I’ve been volunteering most weekends at Holly Hedge Dog Sanctuary, whenever my work schedule allows. During my time there, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of dogs, each with different personalities and needs. This experience has not only shown my love for animals but has also helped me develop a strong confidence in looking after dogs and understanding their behavior. It's something I really enjoy and feel passionate about. My work schedule changes each week, so feel free to send me a message! Your dog will always be my top priority, and I will make sure to find time to give them the attention they deserve. I’m currently living in military accommodation on Catterick Camp. While my living area isn’t very spacious, I can guarantee that your dog will receive plenty of attention and care. I’ll make sure to take them out for walks in a secure and safe environment where they can enjoy themselves. Your dog's well-being is important to me, and I want to ensure they have the exercise, love and attention they need.

“Thank you Lesley and Phil for looking after Milo for us for a long weekend away. I was very anxious having only left him with family, but there was no need to worry. Our flight home was delayed several hours and Lesley was really accommodating. Thank you so much!”
“Winston loves staying with Vanessa! He's treated like one of the family, and can't wait to get in when I drop him off. Lot's of walks, regular pupdates, and always has some kind of adventure. Thank you Vanessa 😊”
“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 💤”
