“Laura has looked after our dog Laika multiple times over the last year and she is always happy to help with dog sitting even at the last minute. Laika always loves going to stay with them and has lots of other buddies to play with when she is there.”

“Ray & his partner looked after our Molly for 1 night whilst I was in Scarborough for a friends birthday. Lovely friendly couple, humoured our ball obbsessed lab with fetch in their garden and a very reasonable boarding rate. Thanks again! :-)”

“Leanne was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond for Penny and me and was super patient with us both as we figured out if Penny could co-exist with Nala. They ended up getting along great, which I think is mostly thanks to Leanne’s expertise and experience with nervous dogs and fosters. Leanne provided detailed daily updates along with lots of photos and videos which was so appreciated. I would (and do!) Leanne to anyone and everyone!”

“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 🥰🐾”

“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.”

“Wholeheartedly recommend Karrie to look after your dog. She went the extra mile making sure our dog felt safe and secure throughout his stay. She catered to all his needs in every way. Needless to say we picked up a very happy boy. Will definitely be using Karrie in the future.”


“Excellent communication before and during the stay. A meet up was scheduled before the stay which was a good change to ask questions and check that our dog got in with them, which he did! Daily updates and photos were sent which was great! He came back exhausted which is always a good sign! Thanks, would definitely use again.”


“Molly is an old lady with a few problems. Natalie was a perfect fit for her from first meeting to collection after her visit. When she was dropped off she immediately abandoned us and made herself at home in Natalie's house. We would highly recommend her as a sitter, particularly as she only takes one dog at a time. Molly we think enjoyed the company of Natalie's own dog too.”

“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.”

“Thank you to Lesley and Phil who took great care of Betty we will not hesitate to let betty stay with them again. They are very friendly and professional and kept in touch regularly we loved receiving messages and photos on how she was doing lovely people 😊”

“Eva has looked after Suki two weeks in a row, for overnight stays. Suki was so excited seeing Eva for the second time which to me, indicates she had a good time. Eva shared pictures through the stay!”

“Angelina is absolutely fantastic and I could not recommend her more highly! She accommodated a very last minute request and was so helpful. Betty absolutely loved staying and was very comfortable around Angelina so we will definitely be booking again. Thank you!”


“Victoria was amazing. She accepted my request at quite short notice and was happy to talk over video beforehand to go through my dog's daily routine. I felt very comfortable leaving him with Victoria and had regular updates on how he was getting on.”

“Superb! Could not recommend Leah and Ben more! Excellent communication throughout (with photos and updates), left us feeling totally relaxed being away knowing our dog (a 6 year old rescue) was being so well cared for and he seemed so relaxed and content 😊 will not hesitate to use again and I have a feeling I will need to book well in advance! Thank you so much!”

Our household routine means dogs have company throughout the day. We’re experienced with a wide range of personalities: energetic dogs, anxious dogs, first-time boarders, and dogs who prefer a real home environment instead of kennels. We follow all licensing requirements, including structured routines, safe supervision, hygiene protocols, and clear communication with owners. With a fantastic coastal location just moments from Scarborough’s North Bay we offer great walks and a true family stay for you dogs. We're an early-rising household, so dogs start their day with a proper beach walk before 8am. After that, breakfast is served and dogs can relax around the house while the humans get on with work. Dogs are never left alone, and they have easy access to our secure garden throughout the day for toilet breaks, sniffing, and exploring. Lunchtime usually includes a short walk with plenty of sniffing and a bit of play. Afternoons are a chilled part of the day while the humans work, with dogs free to rest, potter about, or enjoy the garden. Evenings include another walk often a bit longer,as needed, followed by downtime, attention, and plenty of cuddles before bed. Dogs stay in a licensed, home-from-home environment where safety and supervision come first. Our home is fully accessible to visiting dogs, with clear routines, safe spaces, and a secure garden they can use throughout the day. We manage introductions carefully, follow all licensing requirements, and tailor the environment to each dog's needs - whether that's extra reassurance, structured downtime, or enrichment to keep them settled. Dogs are supervised at all times, with consistent human presence and a predictable household rhythm. We maintain hygiene routines, safe feeding practices, and clear communication with owners, including regular updates and photos. Our aim is to make every dog feel comfortable, happy, and part of the household while staying safe, relaxed, and well-cared-for.

“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!”


“When we met Louise we knew she would be a great fit for looking after our cat. Super friendly, warm and passionate about animals. We felt at ease knowing she would be giving lots of affection and playtime to our little one when we were away and we weren’t disappointed. We’ve booked her in for a house sit in the summer too! Many thanks 🙏”

“Tammy is an absolute godsend. Booked my 2 cats in for a week last minute and tammy was brilliant. Sent regular updates and photos. One of my cats was clearly nervous but soon came out of her shell. Thank you so much. Will definitely use again.”

“What a woman?! From the off, Claires correspondance and communication was brilliant! We had a weird circumstance that we couldn't meet beforehand to introduce her, as we were travelling from outside the area, for just a short amount of time. This didn't put her off though, and despite me never having used Rover before, she seemed the perfect fit for my slightly nervous wee boy! On rocking up, she made him feel welcome immediately. She gave the fuss pot a wee chew, then took him down to her fully enclosed courtyard garden and let himself sniff about whilst tossing a squeak ball for him. She sent me photos throughout the day. (Though our signal was poor, we had them through all at once which was lovely!) On pick up he was happy to see us, but also not in any rush to leave! Thank you Claire for looking after my boy with such care. If we are ever in the area again and needed help, I would not hesitate to reach out!”

About: I've taken care of a lurcher & grey hound sitting overnight at friend's house in Whitby I also have taken care of our son's dog I used to house sit my friends three dogs and cat for a few days at a time over three consecutive years I work from home as a Homeopath . So I can work around this very easily I live in Norton and would walk to the owners home to care for their pets My garden is not completely secure . So would prefer not to have them here . Plus we have a cat that's not keen on sharing

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.
“Duke my german shepherd had a fantastic time with Tammy and thank you so much for taking care of my boy. He was so worn out and loved i wouldn't hesitate to rebook Tammy when I visit Birmingham again”

“Karrie had our girl for the day whilst we took the kids to Flamingo Land and was great with her. Karrie's dog is lovely and so mellow, ours soon settled with her and had a lovely day.”

“Jaye and Jonny were lovely and welcoming, and from the pictures they sent, and Juno's attitude when we returned, we could tell she had the most wonderful time. We'd happily leave Juno in their care again.”

“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!”

“Zixuan was so friendly and welcoming. Her dog was also friendly towards Jeff, and he had such a nice time, and made himself at home. He went to the park and played with sticks, hus favourite past-time. When I collected him he was so relaxed, this made me feel happy knowing he was well looked after. Thank you so much 🙏”

“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!”

“Teds first visit with Christianne - I could see that he took to her straight away which was very reassuring. Felt very happy leaving him with her and will definitely be using Christianne again when I need a dog sitter.”


“Rebecca kindly looked after Brodie for us at short notice and we really appreciated her help. She was polite, friendly and easy to communicate with throughout. Brodie was well looked after and came back happy and settled, which is always the main thing. Thank you again for taking such good care of him, we’d happily recommend Rebecca to others.”
“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.”

About: We've recently lost our two family dogs which is heart breaking. My cousin has recently got a puppy and I've been helping her with that. I had a puppy as a child. I've dog sat in other people's homes and taken them out for walks. I'm a carer for humans too! If your dog comes to my home they will sleep in my room. Cats will be separated. My partner is available for when I'm not so there is always someone to keep an eye on them. I have two private care jobs otherwise I am fully available for pet care 🐶 😺 I can cover mornings, lunch, tea and evening's, also overnight ! I love country walks. My partner helps with the business dog so if your dog needs more attention he is also available. We provide numerous walks which is included in the price In your home I will abide by your rules I have two cats at my home and we have now adopted a client's dog - border collie. Extremely friendly with everyone and everything. All three can be kept separate if needed. This can be discussed
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.

“I could write pages on how Cameron and Emily treat our dog with such love and as if he is their own, but I think Chapo’s feelings are much more important. It’s our second time booking with them, and Chapo had been quite moody before we dropped him off, but as soon as we got to their house he was suddenly very happy, very excited, very waggy tail, thrilled to be back. I think that says everything that needs to be said about their brilliant care. He loves playing with Hugo, and Cameron and Emily are amazing with him. Couldn’t recommend them enough.”
