“Our 9-month-old whippet/staffy mix had a great time with Kelly! Her three other dogs kept him entertained, and Kelly sent us daily updates and cute photos from the dog park. He came home happy, healthy and tired! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kelly to anyone else who is looking for a really capable sitter.”
“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 🐾”
“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 💤”

About: I’ve had dogs around me for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds and personalities, giving me plenty of experience in understanding their individual needs and routines. I know how important it is for owners to feel confident that their dog is safe, happy and well cared for while they’re away. Every dog staying with me will be treated with kindness, patience and plenty of affection, just like a member of the family. My goal is to provide a loving, calm and secure environment where your dog can feel relaxed, comfortable and at home. I am at home full-time, which means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone and will receive constant care and attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to keep to your dog’s usual feeding times, toilet breaks and walking routine. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime or simply relaxing in a calm environment, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved throughout their stay. We have a warm, dog-loving family home where every dog is treated like part of the family. I live with my husband, our two university-aged children and our 4-year-old daughter, who is gentle and respectful around animals. We have a fully fenced, secure garden with plenty of space to explore, play and relax safely. I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time so that every pet receives plenty of individual attention, care and affection.

“Sandra was fantastic with our cat, DJ. She came to meet her prior to looking after her to discuss DJ’s routine. She was friendly, attentive and got to know her before we went on holiday. During our holiday, Sandra kept us updated on how DJ was doing. We returned home to a very happy cat. Thank you, Sandra! 🐈⬛😸”
“This was my first time using a house sitter for my cat and I could've have asked for anyone better than Emma to guide us along. Everything went so smooth and it gave us peace of mind recieving updates for each visit. I couldn't recommend Emma more :)”
“Rhianne is a lovely young lady who I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and will be rebooking her for when we go away again. Maurice has been well cared for and is so much happier than she ever was coming back from the cattery, even though they also provided excellent service. Thank you Rhianne xx”

“Thanks to Jess for dropping in daily particularly to feed my elderly cat. This meant that Holly didn’t have to leave the comfort of her home. Jess did a great job of feeding and emptying litter trays as well as cleaning up after any accidents. I would certainly recommend and would use again. Thanks Tina”

Being my own boss and working part time, I am in and out all day and spend a lot of time at home to care for your dogs. I have a fenced garden for your dogs to run around in, as long as they get on with my two dogs and my 9 year old daughter! They will receive alot of care and attention, and as long a walk as they would like!
About: I have a love of all animals and treat everyone’s as my own. My home has plenty of space to accommodate all your pets requirements. I work part time from home so I am always around the house so your pet would not be left alone for more than an hour. I have a large enclosed garden with lockable gates to prevent access. My own pets have the run of the house and garden but each animal will be assessed and cared for as an individual and I have multiple rooms should some space from other animals be required.
About: I have been around cats since I was 2 years old, so caring for cats has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained experience understanding different cat personalities, from playful kittens to more shy and independent cats. I’m confident with feeding, litter care, playtime, cuddles, and providing a calm, safe environment where cats feel comfortable and loved.
About: Since the moment I was born I have always had cats, I have never lived without at least one. Growing up around cats has made me understand them extremely well, their behaviours, wants and needs and funny little personalities. I am also a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) who has years of veterinary experience. With this, I have lots of experience administering medications, brushing/clipping out matts, keeping litter clean, and much more. I am very excited to get to know ur kitty!
About: I've had animals all my life and have been a pet sitter and Equine holiday care cover for the past 5 years now. Thank you I offer services before my full time job at the moment from 5am till 8.30am and the 5.30pm untill late if required to do so. I don't offer pet care in my home due to family and animals. I offer all my pet care in clients homes to ensure safety.
About: Experienced, mature Dog Boarder/Sitter. Variety of breeds with varying personalities and traits. Safe, clean, homely environment. Personalised care. No children/other pets in household. Pet care will fit into my daily routine as part of my family. I have spare time to easily fit around your pet, offering plenty of love, care and attention around your pets needs. Your pet will be cared for within my own home following your pets patterns of behaviour. I follow your pets nutrition needs and ensure your pet is regularly taken for long walks local and in the countryside, no matter what the weather. Regular cleansing/bathing. Plenty of love, cuddles and treats for good behaviour.
About: I had cats my whole life until I moved to England 6 years ago. I have decided not to get a cat until I return to the USA (unless chosen my the cat distribution system). I miss having them and would love to get snuggles from other cats until I can again get my own.
About: Hi, I'm Helene 👋 I'm a Registered Veterinary Nurse with 6 years of hands on experience. I currently work nights at an emergency referral hospital in York, and before that spent 2 years at a first opinion practice in London. Animals aren't just my job, they're my whole life outside of work too. At home I have two rescue cats and a dog, all of whom I adore. One of my cats is geriatric and needs daily subcutaneous fluids and medication, so I'm very comfortable with ongoing treatments, injections, and medication schedules. My dog is also getting on in years and attends hydrotherapy sessions, so I understand the extra care, patience, and gentle handling that older pets often need. I still make time for long walks and hikes with him, along with plenty of cuddles on the sofa. I've pet and house sat in both Norway and the UK, and cat sat regularly through my work, so I'm used to settling quickly into different homes and routines. Whether your pet needs medication given properly, an eye kept on a health condition, mobility support, or just a calm and familiar face while you're away, I will treat them exactly like my own. I have a car, so I'm happy to travel to you. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets!
“Helaina did two 30 minute visits to look after my Ruby. Ruby seemed to really warm to Helaina and seemed as though she had a good time. Ruby is an anxious puppy and Helaina really helped her come out of her shell a bit 😊 would definitely use Helaina again!”

“Great communication as still abroad when initially booked. Received pics & video which was so reassuring as one of our dogs is rather timid of strangers. Would happily leave then with Emma again if needed. Can't thank you enough, especially when things overran when due to pick them up x”

About: I live in the beautiful village of West Tanfield, surrounded by countryside walks right on my doorstep. I’m lucky to have access to a lovely river loop walk, open fields nearby, and regular trips to Thornborough Henges, which is fully fenced and perfect for safe exploring. I work from home most of the time, so your dog will have plenty of company and a calm, relaxed environment throughout the day. They’re more than welcome to join me in my home office — keeping me company as the “office dog” for the day. I’ve had dogs all my life and recently lost my beautiful black Labrador, Ralph, in January. While I’m not quite ready for another dog of my own, I would love to open my home to yours and give them the same love and care. My aim is to provide a true “home away from home” — dogs are welcome to relax freely in the house and garden, and be part of a safe, comfortable environment. I’ll always treat them as if they were my own. I work from home most days, so your dog will have plenty of company and care. I can only accept bookings when I’m working from home. I only take one dog at a time. Dogs are treated like family and I like them to feel relaxed, with free roam, sofas, beds, a garden fully secure, and countryside walks.

“Amazing! I was worried about leaving my dog with Hollie as he’s a rescue and I didn’t know if he would think I have left him and display tricky behaviour, he felt so content and happy with Hollie and I was kept up to date all day and felt comfortable and assured! I went to pick him up and he didn’t even want to come home! Hollie catered to all his needs such as walks, cuddles and toilet breaks and kept me up to date continuously throughout the day! Hollie is definitely Pepe approved 🤍 Thank you Hollie!”

“Our 3.5 month pup had a lovely day with Jessica and her husband. We plan for him to stay while we go on holiday and wanted to give him chance to get to know them first. We were anxious as we had not left him with anyone else, but we didn’t need to worry as he settled straight away- and had lots of fun. Jessica is quick to respond to messages and sent photos of his day. Thank you”
“Amanda was absolutely fantastic looking after Max. We are very grateful for the care and attention she gave him. She was kind, accommodating, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and happy. It was reassuring to know he was in such good hands, and it was obvious from the moment we picked him up that Max had enjoyed his time with her. We would happily recommend Amanda and would not hesitate to use her services again. Thank you for taking such great care of our boy! 🐾😊”
“Eleanor and Edward are the best possible people to care for your dog. Stanley 100% loves them and dotty more than us now, and always comes back to happy and tired. I couldn’t recommend anyone more.”
“Constancia accommodated our last minute booking to look after Nellie. She was very welcoming when we arrived ensuring we saw the garden. She was keen to know Nellie’s routines and preferences so she could follow them. We got photo updates throughout the day. Nellie was very happy and settled when we collected her. We would definitely use her again.”
“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.”
“Coco had a fantastic time with Vivianne - she enjoyed every minute and was well looked after. She had fun in the garden and thrived on the company of the other dog. I was able to relax and enjoy my time away and Vivianne’s attention to detail in sending me a video of Coco playing was greatly appreciated and a lovely touch. I will definitely have Coco looked after by Vivianne again in the future when in the Harrogate area!”

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, but my passion for training really took off when i rescued a Spaniel x Beagle. He started out reactive to other dogs, with no recall and a habit of disappearing after anything that moved. Through daily training and hundreds of hours of learning, I transformed him into a confident, social dog with reliable off-lead freedom, excellent recall, and advanced obedience. That journey gave me a genuine passion for helping dogs learn and building their confidence. I now volunteer every week at a dog rescue, working with dogs of all breeds, ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling everything from nervous and reactive dogs to strong pullers and high-energy working breeds. Whether your dog simply needs a fun walk, plenty of attention and a home away from home, or would benefit from some extra work on recall, lead manners, general obedience or behavioural issues during their stay, I’d love to help. I genuinely enjoy training and am happy to take on dogs that need a little extra guidance. We also have private, secure land, giving dogs a safe space to exercise and train away from distractions when needed. I work full time from home so always able to keep an eye on dogs. Normally the day starts with a walk round the fields/local paths. Then we settle down, few 5 min spurs of obedience training through the day and then a big afternoon walk. Evening will maybe have a small additional walk or some training. We have a fenced garden, fenced private fields - all possible escape routes have been found and fixed thanks to our escape artist. My dog is always around - he’s a beagle x spaniel full of energy.

We have a secure, fenced, good-sized garden for safe outdoor time and play. Your dog will be supervised, well cared for, and treated like part of our family.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for pets is something I truly love. For the past 3 years, I’ve helped families by caring for their dogs and cats with patience, attention, and lots of affection.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover enjoying retirement, with plenty of free time and a high energy level. I owned an energetic Vizsla for nearly 15 years who used to love coming on long walks and runs. During this time we also had a British short haired cat - both were much loved family pets. I currently have a rescue cat but I really miss being around dogs. I love daily exercise like walking and running, so your dog will get a great workout, or just a relaxing walk if that’s preferred, as well as a safe, fun time outdoors with me. I am retired and flexible with plenty of free time. With this in mind, I can easily adjust my schedule if necessary. I will always try my best to be accommodating. I have an enclosed garden and access to fantastic outdoor spaces right on my doorstep. I am very reliable in following pet owners requests and will treat all animals like my own.
About: My first job as a teenager was walking and sitting neighborhood dogs and I’ve lived with cats, dogs and other animals my whole life.

For overnights I will arrive around 6-7pm and leave in the morning around 9:30am. I am able to do multiple drop ins after work and depending on location I can do early morning visits too. Walks are always on afternoons unless it’s a weekend. I am a very laid back person who has a calm and approachable nature with animals. I am trained in safe handling of animals, pet first aid and have years of experience dealing with all types of pets. You can count on me to always be attentive, calm and in control.
“Delighted with Jamie’s help! We booked a last minute dog walking session with Jamie, due to the flu having hit our home and making us unable to walk the dogs ourselves. Jamie graciously accepted, and came round bang on time, taking our dogs out, and returning them happy, calm and tired at the end of the walk. 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 🥰”

We will be patient with your dog and keep it's routine as close to being at home as we can.

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.

“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 💤”

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”

About: I’ve had dogs around me for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds and personalities, giving me plenty of experience in understanding their individual needs and routines. I know how important it is for owners to feel confident that their dog is safe, happy and well cared for while they’re away. Every dog staying with me will be treated with kindness, patience and plenty of affection, just like a member of the family. My goal is to provide a loving, calm and secure environment where your dog can feel relaxed, comfortable and at home. I am at home full-time, which means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone and will receive constant care and attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to keep to your dog’s usual feeding times, toilet breaks and walking routine. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime or simply relaxing in a calm environment, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved throughout their stay. We have a warm, dog-loving family home where every dog is treated like part of the family. I live with my husband, our two university-aged children and our 4-year-old daughter, who is gentle and respectful around animals. We have a fully fenced, secure garden with plenty of space to explore, play and relax safely. I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time so that every pet receives plenty of individual attention, care and affection.
“Amazing family! They looked after our dog so well and loved him as if he were their own. A home from home that we were so grateful for while we were away. Thank you so much Karina and all your lovely family. X”
“Stan had a wonderful time staying in Becky’s lovely home. Becky really knows how to look after dogs to the highest standard and the ease of communication and feedback was fantastic throughout. I would not hesitate to have Stan stay again. Excellent job. Would give more than 5 stars if I could 🤩”

“Sophie went above and beyond at such short notice. She loved Archie like he was her own, she even sent me a picture of him sleeping at her nanna’s looking very cosy. Engaged with me whenever needed. Highly recommended. Sophie, you are a superstar and you are on our booking list for our next holiday. He has come back one happy boy which pleases mummy and daddy very much. Thank you once again xx”
