“Emma did a fantastic job of taking care of Ruby. We were able to pop round for a meet and greet before hand so that Ruby had a chance to meet Emma and have a good sniff around where she would be staying, which really helped her settle in quicker. Ruby can be quite fussy, and it was fantastic to see how Emma took care of all of her (sometimes quirky) needs. She also provided lots of lovely photos and videos of Ruby during her stay. My wife and I would not hesitate to recommend Emma as a dog sitter, she’s kind and a true animal lover!”
About: I've loved and taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember, part of a dog loving family and after looking for a pet sitter for our dog and not finding someone who truly loved and cared for him Like an dog mama and not just a pet sitter, I decided this was the calling for me. I am the type of person who would greet the dog before the owner! My promise is to love and care for your dog like its my own fur baby making him or her feel spoilt and truly cared for. No morning is better than waking up to dog kisses!! I currently work part time but your dog will never be left any longer than 4hrs in total. Well walked before I go to work and well walked after I come home, I will leave licky mats and Kong toys to play with while I am gone. I have a secure fenced garden with a beautiful friendly cocker spaniel named Albie. We have lots of walks around our home with being on the outskirts of York in a little village. All dogs are allowed full run of the house with access to the sofas and the beds!! Sleeping on the beds is always allowed.
“Charlie stayed with Sally and her family again at the weekend... lots of lovely photos and updates as usual, so happy that they love Charlie as much as we do... thank you again... Will keep in touch and book again Charlie, Rachel and Keith”
“Ruby had a lovely over night stay with Vanessa and family. She’s previously enjoyed day care with them. She enjoyed lots of walks and attention from Vanessa’s boys. She didn’t want to come home! Updates were shared throughout. She’s looking forward to another stay in a month!”
“Rasa was great with my bouncy energetic standard poodle Teddy. He was so happy when I picked him up and looked well. He had a great time running around with Simba, (Rasas labrador ) in the large area of land at the back of the house. I would not hesitate to recommend Rasa to look after your dog and I will use her again. Thank you Rasa x”
“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”
About: I have been around dogs for most of my life and love getting out for walks and enjoy the companionship that we can give each other. I currently have my own dog, Poppy, who is nearly 12. She still loves her walks and snuggling up next to me. I have experience of looking after family and friend’s dogs in my home and in their own home. I currently work full-time Monday to Friday term time as a teaching assistant. I am available on weekends and during school holidays so have plenty of time to look after you pooch. I am more than happy to take your dog for a walk, this is something I could even fit in after work. I would like to look after your dog in my home, or in their own home, whatever is best for the dog and you. I live in a semi- detached house with a fenced garden at the back in a beautiful village. There are plenty of lovely walks nearby in local woods/ fields. I also love exploring so am more than happy to walk your dog in its own familiar area if it has a favourite place to go. I have experience of looking after family and friend’s dogs in my own home and also in their own home. I thoroughly enjoyed having the dogs in their own environment, exploring their area on walks.
“Joanne was amazing! We were a bit nervous at first about using a pet sitter, but Joanne arranged a meeting in a nice neutral space and I could tell from her interactions with my dog that she cared about dogs and we left her with our beloved little girl. While away, Joanne sent lots of videos and from the videos we could tell that our dog was really being looked after well - the dog was really relaxed in the videos, was being played with, and looked very very comfortable with Joanne. So comfortable in fact that we were a little worried our dog would want to stay with her when we came back, as our dog was definitely being pampered! We will definitely use Joanne again when we next go on holiday, so please don't pick her for the same week as we want! (just kidding).”
“Our first time using Helen and she was fantastic; her communication and professionalism were apparent from the outset, as was her warmth and caring nature. Our retriever was grumpy when he got home which shows he’d rather have stayed with her 🤣”
“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!”
“Picked Stan up after 2 weeks with Philip and Lesley. Stan seemed very happy and he had a nice silky coat. First time Stan has stayed with Philip and Lesley but will have no hesitation in him staying with them again. Thanks guys, Stan is like most dog owners very important to us, your care really matters.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by all kinds of animals, from cats and dogs to chickens, horses, and even a rescue fawn! Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. Over the past few years, I’ve had the opportunity to travel the world, including spending time in New Zealand where I was fortunate enough to house-sit and care for some wonderful dogs. I’ve also built up experience through TrustedHousesitters, looking after pets in their own homes and making sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m very happy to provide references from my TrustedHousesitters stays if you’d like to hear about my experience from previous pet owners. Now that I’m back in the UK and settled in York, I’d love to continue doing what I enjoy and help care for your pets. While I’m not currently able to have a dog of my own, this gives me the perfect opportunity to enjoy plenty of walks, playtime and cuddles with yours! I’ll always treat your pets as if they were my own, taking the time to understand their individual personalities, routines and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks and adventures, a good game of fetch, or simply curling up on the sofa for some company, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, comfortable and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to leave your pet in someone you can trust, and I’ll do everything I can to give you peace of mind while they’re in my care. I’m primarily available for house-sitting and dog walks at weekends, as I work full-time during the week. Depending on the location, I may also be able to offer midday dog walks during the week, so please feel free to get in touch and I can see what might work. I’d also be happy to consider boarding, although as I live in a flat, this would depend on the size, temperament and individual needs of your pet. I’m always happy to have a chat beforehand to make sure I can provide a comfortable and suitable environment for them. I live in a flat in the city centre, and although I don’t have a garden, I’m a very outdoorsy person and love getting out for walks. I’m often down by the river exploring the local area, usually with a coffee stop at one of the many lovely cafés along the way — so there’s no shortage of opportunities for walks and adventures! When house-sitting, I’m very happy to follow your usual routines and instructions closely. I know every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to understand their individual needs and make sure they feel comfortable, happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have always had dogs in my life, as a child and as an adult. I have had dogs from puppies and also rescued dogs over the years. My dogs can go where they want in my home and they sleep upstairs with me. My garden is secure. I work around my dogs to make sure that Iam nearly always at home with them. I walk my dogs twice a day and are happy to walk and feed your dog to keep it in its routine I have a large fenced garden. I will do my best to keep your dog in the routine it is used to. Your dog will be one of the family
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for most of my life. Growing up, my family had a female Pomeranian who was with us for over 10 years, followed by a female Husky. Caring for them gave me experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities. Now I live with my partner and our spayed female Cockapoo, Loopy. Looking after her has taught me the importance of understanding each dog’s individual needs, routine and personality. I’ve also looked after friends’ dogs, including a large Old English Sheepdog, whom I bathed and cared for, as well as several Cockapoos. One of my friend’s Cockapoos even stayed overnight in our home for a week, so I’m experienced in helping dogs settle into a new environment and feel comfortable. I genuinely love spending time with dogs. I enjoy taking them for walks, visiting parks and going on countryside walks together. I always pay close attention to their behaviour, comfort and wellbeing, and I’ll care for your dog with the same love and attention that I give my own. As a freelancer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give dogs plenty of time, attention and companionship throughout the day. Caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily life, as I share my home with my partner and our lovely Cockapoo, Loopy. As a Cockapoo owner myself, I understand the energy, affection and attention this breed needs, and I’m always happy to adapt to each dog’s own routine and personality. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime or simply relaxing with people, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved and at home. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness will always come first. I have a friendly, spayed female Cockapoo who enjoys the company of other dogs. I introduce dogs gradually and never leave them together unsupervised until I’m confident they’re comfortable with each other. I’ll carefully follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, medication (if needed) and any special instructions. Every dog is different, so I take the time to understand their personality and make sure they feel relaxed and secure. My goal is for your dog to enjoy their stay just as much as you enjoy your time away.
“Sophie was amazing, she took our dog on last minute and he had a fantastic time with her! She did long walk with him and sent me lots of photos and stayed in contact regularly. I will definitely be using Sophie again to care for our young dog. Thankyou!!”
“Our labrador had the best time with Jaye whilst we were on holiday. We had a visit so they could meet Gabe and we could meet them before we confirmed the booking. Jaye and Jonny looked after Gabe like he was their own and gave him a true home from home experience. We went on holiday with complete peace of mind.”

About: I’ve recently lost my beloved 13 year old dog and I would like to keep up with dog walking and dog cuddles. I have 2 granddogs that I look after regularly. I am retired so have lots of time available. I live in a quiet village setting with nice off road walks and open spaces and dog paths. I have a fenced large garden.

“Charlie was absolutely fantastic throughout. He looked after both our cat and our home brilliantly. Excellent communication with daily updates and photos which were much appreciated. Charlie is clearly a natural animal person and our cat took to him really well from the get go. We’d highly recommend Charlie to anyone.”
About: Feel very experienced and comfortable with cats. Having grown up around 2 of my grandparents fluffffs from a young age, l understand they are like family. I have experience caring for senior cats, including following set routines, and weighing meals where required or requested by owners. I love giving cats plenty of affection and cuddles, but l also understand that every cat has their own personality and boundaries. I always adapt to make sure your cat feels comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own way.
“Amazingly looked after Nalah, she warmed up to them so well. Nalah is so shy and takes time to warm up to anyone. I would book you forever more. Nalah has another family now. Thank you thank you thank you”
About: I have always had cats from childhood. At present, I have the magnificent Gizmo, who’s 16 years old and we have had the pleasure of him since he was a kitten. I understand the need to be calm and relaxed around cats and to fuss them on their terms. I am reliable and trustworthy and would follow the owners instructions, making sure they have a safe, clean environment.
About: I have taken care of friends cats for many years, one of which is an elderly deaf cat. More recently I have looked after a dog and a cat together while their family was on holiday and really enjoyed looking after the cat (as well as the dog) so have expanded my availability.
About: I currently own one cat who i have brought up from a stray kitten to fully grown with help from my mother. This has taught me how to care for cats of all ages. I havent only learnt this from my cat but also from my grandmothers and familys friends. When caring for cats i not only provide them with physical needs but i also ensure they are entertained, spending my time playing with them and giving them attention.
About: I’ve enjoyed caring for neighbours’ cats while they’ve been away. I love taking quiet time to care for them, play, and keep their routine steady. It’s a calm pause in my day, and hopefully a bright spot in theirs too. I’m reliable, respectful in your home, and happy to send updates after each visit. I also love taking dogs for walks, and giving them plenty of exercise and fun playing together. I don’t have a dog of my own so have plenty of energy to play fetch non-stop!

About: I am a huge animal lover, have had dogs my whole life and currently have a 3 year old female Cockapoo who loves play dates. I also helped to care for my 2 elderly family dogs who had arthritis and hip dysplasia and needed daily medication. Having been through separation anxiety with my own dog, I know how important it is to get the best care for them, with someone you can trust. I guarantee to care for your dog as though they are my own and give them all the love and attention they need. I also know how expensive dog care can be so I aim to keep my rates low to help people with access to affordable and reliable care. I work from home so can be with your dog 24/7. I can walk them with my dog before and after work and they will have access to the garden all day. I have a completely enclosed garden and my dog Leni will keep your fur baby company. She loves to play but can also be very calm when needed and usually gets along with all dogs.
“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.”
About: Hi! Thank you for considering me to care for your pets - I know how important they are! I’m a huge animal lover but unfortunately cannot have pets of my own right now. Therefore, petsitting/dog-walking allows me to care for animals and help out others. :-) Currently, I live just off Fulford Road right outside the city walls in a spacious three-bedroom terraced house, with an enclosed back garden. We do allow pets on our furniture, as long as that’s acceptable to their owners! I do have a full-time job, but I work from home which gives me plenty of flexibility. I can also spend all my time with your pet, which is especially helpful for ones that have a hard time being away from their owner. My husband and I are also very active and will happily take active pets out for multiple walks a day! Throughout my life, I have had a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, sugar gliders, and guinea pigs. I’ve been a dog-sitter for others (including many in the U.S.), with many repeat pets! I’m open to providing a variety of services, including day visits, walks, boarding, and more. I have experience with puppies and kittens, up through pets that are older. My care can be tailored to suit your needs, including special requests and medications. I can also pick up and drop off your pets, as long as you are located within a reasonable distance from my home. Thank you for looking, and I look forward to hearing from you! I work full time but completely remotely with a flexible schedule! This means I can cater my day to your pet’s needs, whether that’s more toilet breaks or a longer walk. I live in a spacious three bedroom terraced house with an enclosed back garden. For nice walks, we are mere steps away from a river walk and park. As to visits in the pet owner’s home, I am happy to go through any steps to ensure both your pet and home are safe while you’re away.

Our home is very dog friendly and full of treats and toys. We live local to the river and multiple green spaces for a variety of walks. Our family dog, Willow, is 5 years old, she’s an independent miniature poodle. I am happy to arrange a meet and greet before any booking if you would like to see how your dog gets on. I can also easily accommodate separate walks for your dog if you prefer. I want to make your pet feel like this is their home from home so if they have any special requests to make them feel comfortable then please feel free to ask 😁 I’m back from university so I’m available most days, including weekends. I will also be taking care of my own dog when my parents are at work, so I have plenty of time to spend with your dog. I can easily accommodate a dog crate, if your dog is happiest sleeping there. I have a medium-sized fenced garden and live close to Bootham park and the river for nice walks. Your dog is welcome on the sofa and my priority is making them welcome and comfortable.

About: Ever since a young age, i have taken care of all animals due to family and friends pets. My Grandmother, who had 7 dogs and 3 cats, taught me how to care for animals both stray and tamed from the age of a puppy to an elderly dog. This taught me many skills on how to care for animals, fulfilling not only their physical needs but emotional too. I am currently on the summer break with no jobs and no upcoming holidays trying to save for university and will therefore be free daily for anyone who needs any pet sitters or dog walkers. I currently only have a cat at the moment as my dog lives with my dad in Scotland, however, i can ensure your pet, whether thats a dog, cat or other, will be kept safe and entertained. As long as boundaries regarding the animal are understood beforehand they will be kept safe and secure.
About: I have owned dogs all my life, and I I’ve always helped friends and family to look after them when they are on holidays.

About: Having grown up with different breeds and owning a three-legged rescue dog who required additional care and training, I have developed a strong understanding of the individual needs and personalities of dogs. This experience has given me patience, confidence, and the ability to adapt to different temperaments, routines, and care requirements. I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment. I can work remotely during the week and have availability over weekends, which allows me to have more flexible and cater the individual pet's needs. My priority is creating a safe, trusting environment where pets feel secure and loved. I treat every animal as an individual — paying attention to their personality, comfort levels, and any special needs. Pet parents can relax knowing their pets are cared for with patience, consistency, and genuine affection.

“Emma did a fantastic job of taking care of Ruby. We were able to pop round for a meet and greet before hand so that Ruby had a chance to meet Emma and have a good sniff around where she would be staying, which really helped her settle in quicker. Ruby can be quite fussy, and it was fantastic to see how Emma took care of all of her (sometimes quirky) needs. She also provided lots of lovely photos and videos of Ruby during her stay. My wife and I would not hesitate to recommend Emma as a dog sitter, she’s kind and a true animal lover!”
About: I've loved and taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember, part of a dog loving family and after looking for a pet sitter for our dog and not finding someone who truly loved and cared for him Like an dog mama and not just a pet sitter, I decided this was the calling for me. I am the type of person who would greet the dog before the owner! My promise is to love and care for your dog like its my own fur baby making him or her feel spoilt and truly cared for. No morning is better than waking up to dog kisses!! I currently work part time but your dog will never be left any longer than 4hrs in total. Well walked before I go to work and well walked after I come home, I will leave licky mats and Kong toys to play with while I am gone. I have a secure fenced garden with a beautiful friendly cocker spaniel named Albie. We have lots of walks around our home with being on the outskirts of York in a little village. All dogs are allowed full run of the house with access to the sofas and the beds!! Sleeping on the beds is always allowed.
“Charlie stayed with Sally and her family again at the weekend... lots of lovely photos and updates as usual, so happy that they love Charlie as much as we do... thank you again... Will keep in touch and book again Charlie, Rachel and Keith”
“Ruby had a lovely over night stay with Vanessa and family. She’s previously enjoyed day care with them. She enjoyed lots of walks and attention from Vanessa’s boys. She didn’t want to come home! Updates were shared throughout. She’s looking forward to another stay in a month!”
“Rasa was great with my bouncy energetic standard poodle Teddy. He was so happy when I picked him up and looked well. He had a great time running around with Simba, (Rasas labrador ) in the large area of land at the back of the house. I would not hesitate to recommend Rasa to look after your dog and I will use her again. Thank you Rasa x”
“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”
“Our first time using Helen and she was fantastic; her communication and professionalism were apparent from the outset, as was her warmth and caring nature. Our retriever was grumpy when he got home which shows he’d rather have stayed with her 🤣”
“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!”
“Picked Stan up after 2 weeks with Philip and Lesley. Stan seemed very happy and he had a nice silky coat. First time Stan has stayed with Philip and Lesley but will have no hesitation in him staying with them again. Thanks guys, Stan is like most dog owners very important to us, your care really matters.”
About: I have always had dogs in my life, as a child and as an adult. I have had dogs from puppies and also rescued dogs over the years. My dogs can go where they want in my home and they sleep upstairs with me. My garden is secure. I work around my dogs to make sure that Iam nearly always at home with them. I walk my dogs twice a day and are happy to walk and feed your dog to keep it in its routine I have a large fenced garden. I will do my best to keep your dog in the routine it is used to. Your dog will be one of the family
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for most of my life. Growing up, my family had a female Pomeranian who was with us for over 10 years, followed by a female Husky. Caring for them gave me experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities. Now I live with my partner and our spayed female Cockapoo, Loopy. Looking after her has taught me the importance of understanding each dog’s individual needs, routine and personality. I’ve also looked after friends’ dogs, including a large Old English Sheepdog, whom I bathed and cared for, as well as several Cockapoos. One of my friend’s Cockapoos even stayed overnight in our home for a week, so I’m experienced in helping dogs settle into a new environment and feel comfortable. I genuinely love spending time with dogs. I enjoy taking them for walks, visiting parks and going on countryside walks together. I always pay close attention to their behaviour, comfort and wellbeing, and I’ll care for your dog with the same love and attention that I give my own. As a freelancer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give dogs plenty of time, attention and companionship throughout the day. Caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily life, as I share my home with my partner and our lovely Cockapoo, Loopy. As a Cockapoo owner myself, I understand the energy, affection and attention this breed needs, and I’m always happy to adapt to each dog’s own routine and personality. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime or simply relaxing with people, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved and at home. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness will always come first. I have a friendly, spayed female Cockapoo who enjoys the company of other dogs. I introduce dogs gradually and never leave them together unsupervised until I’m confident they’re comfortable with each other. I’ll carefully follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, medication (if needed) and any special instructions. Every dog is different, so I take the time to understand their personality and make sure they feel relaxed and secure. My goal is for your dog to enjoy their stay just as much as you enjoy your time away.
“Sophie was amazing, she took our dog on last minute and he had a fantastic time with her! She did long walk with him and sent me lots of photos and stayed in contact regularly. I will definitely be using Sophie again to care for our young dog. Thankyou!!”
“Our labrador had the best time with Jaye whilst we were on holiday. We had a visit so they could meet Gabe and we could meet them before we confirmed the booking. Jaye and Jonny looked after Gabe like he was their own and gave him a true home from home experience. We went on holiday with complete peace of mind.”
“Laura was fantastic with our spaniel, took the worry away from leaving him. We loved receiving updates from Laura on how he was getting on. Would 1000% recommend Laura and will be using her again ☺️”
“This was our first time using Liv and Rover and it was great. Liv was so lovely and keen to find out about Loki before his stay. She took wonderful care of him and kept us up to date with photos while we were away. Loki had a great time and enjoyed the attention and cuddles. Thanks Liv! Would definitely recommend 😊”
