dogSitting

Quick note: I work part-time, 8-10 hour shifts in Lindley, Huddersfield which prevent me from dog sitting long periods; cat sitting is fine as long as you're happy with me being away from the home for half the day on random days (3-4 days of the week). I don't have a car and only pet sit in areas within an 8 mile cycle radius of Huddersfield. Thanks.Introduction&nbsp;Hello! I'm Chris. I'm relatively new to Pawshake however please don't mistake that for inexperience. I semi often look after my friends' cats and dogs whenever they go on holiday and I love it for mainly two reasons: One, I love hanging out, playing with and caring for my furry friends and Two, it means a lot to me that my friends trust me with their pets.&nbsp;My experience&nbsp;Over the years, I've dog and cat sat for quite a few of my friends. I believe the reason they always ask me is, not only do they trust me but also I've got to know their pets really well through play and being around them for long periods of time. Their pets are comfortable around me and me them. Having a dog growing up definitely helped me understand animals better (my wee Jack Russell, Toffee - I miss him so much! ) alas I do believe I'm naturally good with cats and dogs, regardless. My experience with dogs has ranged from looking after my friend Gail's two tiny Papillon, one very high energy and playful, the other older and more reserved, to my other friend Elisa's huge St. Bernard puppy - very friendly and sweet yet needed a lot of attention and play (and also a bit stubborn, not judging at all!). I have cat sat for my friends, Thomas and Adélie, quite a few times - they have a beautiful British Shorthair, Ravelle. I am privileged enough to have bonded with Ravelle from when he was a kitten with lots of play; I wish I could say cuddles but British Shorthair are not commonly known to be very cuddly! He is wary of most of Thomas and Adélie's friends but will happily sit very close to me when I visit, something my friends are always surprised at. I think it's because we bonded so well during those early years.Why I'm a dog walker / pet sitterThe main motivations for looking after animals is because I have decided to change my career. I'm studying to become a psychotherapist. This is much more suited to who I am as a person — I'm empathetic, caring and, ultimately, I want to help people. As I absolutely adore cats and dogs, to me, it's a no brainer to offer my services in any way I can as I'd be doing something I love and that I'm good at. I feel not only am I doing something I love but I'm helping people, which is a big part of my values and who I am as a person. Knowing your pet (let's face it, your furry child) is in safe and happy is crucial - I believe I have the experience and what it takes to just do that.&nbsp;

I am a caring and reliable pet sitter with a genuine love for cats.
My motivation for becoming a pet sitter comes from wanting to help cat owners feel calm and confident when they need to be away from home. I understand how important it is to know your cat is safe, comfortable, and well cared for, especially because cats are often happiest in their own familiar environment.
I have two cats of my own and have been caring for them for the past three years. Through this experience, I have learned how to understand different cat personalities, routines, and needs. I also have several cat-sitting experiences, including feeding, cleaning litter trays, playtime, and providing companionship.I prefer to offer house visits once or twice a day, as this helps reduce stress for cats while maintaining their normal routine. When home care is required, I only accept vaccinated pets for everyone’s safety. I always treat every cat with patience, respect, and care, as if they were my own.

Hi! I’m Ruby a caring and reliable pet sitter with 8 years of hands-on experience looking after cats, small animals, and reptiles, so I’m confident handling a wide range of personalities and needs. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and behaviours to keep them comfortable and stress-free.

For dogs, a typical walk is tailored to their energy level—whether that’s a calm stroll with lots of sniff breaks or a more active walk with playtime. I’m attentive to behaviour on walks and can handle nervous, excitable, or reactive pets with patience and care. For cats and smaller pets, I focus on creating a calm environment, interactive play, and respecting their space.I take most of my clients pets on walks along parks, rivers , fields and make sure walks are at least an hour and a half minimum. I make sure to give treats if allowed and praise pets accordingly! 
Visits to homes can last anywhere from 1 hour to 8 , it all depends on what you need and how you want your pet sitting! 

I carefully follow feeding routines, including specific diets or schedules, and I’m comfortable giving basic medications if needed. I stay alert to any changes in behaviour or health. In unexpected situations, I stay calm and act quickly—whether that means contacting you immediately, following your emergency instructions, or reaching out to a vet if necessary. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing always come first.
A daily routine for me sitting would be first gaining trust of the pet which is very important in every situation, a safe pet is a happy pet. Then I would ask the owner about feeding times, walking times , treats , emergency numbers ect. If it came to an emergency be rest assured that you would know ASAP. Your pet will always be safe under my loving care. 

I’m available for weekdays, weekends, and last-minute bookings, and I’m happy to adapt to your schedule. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away.

I treat every pet like my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved at all times 

My name is Faye, I'm 26 years old and I am offering dog walking services as well as dog sitting/providing your dogs with company in the comfort of their own home when their beloved owners are busy. For dog walks I offer 30 minutes or an hour long walks if the dog needs more exercise &amp; when house sitting I am happy to administer medication or complete other small tasks you may need help with. I have been passionate about dogs for as long as I can remember and just adore how they love you unconditionally. Me and my family own an 11 year old Springer Spaniel called Milo who turned blind in the last couple of years so I am very experienced with dogs who may face difficulties when out on walks or even in the home. I am able to adapt walks/home visits to the needs of each dog breed no matter what size and like to build good relationships with owners to understand what would work best for them and their dogs! Please don't hesitate to message if you're interested in discussing further.



Hi, my name is Klaudia. I’ve taken care of animals throughout my life – from the pets I grew up with and owned, to those I’ve looked after for friends and neighbours while they were on holiday. I’ve always felt a special connection with animals, and that’s why I genuinely love spending time with them and making sure they’re well cared for.

I’m a caring, responsible pet sitter with experience in house sitting and looking after other people’s animals. When caring for pets, I regularly take dogs for walks and keep them entertained with play, cuddles, and attention. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel safe and happy while you’re away.

We have a house with a medium-sized fenced garden, perfect for pets to enjoy some outdoor time safely. I currently work part-time (three days a week), so I have plenty of free time to meet your pet’s needs throughout the week.

I’m happy to drive within 3 miles of Middleton, Leeds to offer dog walks or drop-in visits at your place. I’m also the proud owner of a Siamese cat named Chloe – she’s been part of our family for three years, and we absolutely adore her.

I’d love to meet you and your furry friend!

Hey there, my name is Kirsty! I have been working in the animal and veterinary industry for over 10 years. I have experience working with both exotic and domestic animals. I also have my recent canine/feline first aid certificate.During my visits with your fur pets, I will provide food, water and of course enrichment and play time. I can give medication if needed and make sure your pets are well cared for.I am always more than happy to send photos and videos of your loved fur kids to keep you updated while you are away, to ensure reassurance and peace of mind.Please let me know if I can help you and your fur kids I am unable to board any pets at the moment, but more than happy to travel to you and care for your pets in their own homes. More available on the weekends, but happy to organise weekly stays if needed.I look forward to meeting you all!&nbsp;

Animals have always been an important part of my life. Growing up with three Labradors and a cat taught me early on not only the joy they bring but also the responsibility, patience, and attentiveness that come with caring for them.
Today, I share my home with my cat, Max, who is a huge part of my life. Having previously travelled often for work, I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy to look after your beloved pet while you’re away. I was fortunate to have friends and family who went above and beyond for my cat, providing him with companionship as well as care — and now I’m in a position to offer the same for my clients.
I currently provide care for both cats and dogs, and I understand the different personalities and requirements each pet has. I feel truly honoured every time I’m entrusted with a pet’s wellbeing, and I take pride in ensuring they are safe, happy, and comfortable. I also know how reassuring it is for owners to receive updates, so I make a point of sharing photos and notes — because a picture of a happy pet can brighten anyone’s day.
For me, pet sitting is more than a service. It’s a chance to give animals the affection and attention they deserve, while providing peace of mind to their owners.
I'm currently on a career break and studying part-time, meaning I have good availability to take care of your little one at a moments notice.&nbsp;

I am a wfh PhD student focused on nonprofit and philanthropy, I’ve cared for a long time:
 An emotionally sensitive Shiba Inu from puppy period ‍ A mature, picky but lovable British Shorthair&nbsp;
🪴 And more than 100 kinds of indoor plants — from tiny succulents to dramatic monstera!&nbsp;
I’ve helped anxious pets settle into new routines and turned many struggling plants into happy, thriving green friends. To me, every living thing has its rhythm, “all creatures great and small".
I believe in thoughtful, calm, and respectful care — whether I’m watching over your dog, watering your green babies, or making sure your cat’s litter box is spotless.&nbsp;

What I offer:
 Short-term pet sitting (dogs &amp; cats)
 Plant care &amp; emergency rescue (wilted leaves don’t scare me!)
 Gentle indoor refresh suggestions (space matters!)
 Daily updates with photos &amp; notes, so you’re always in the loop
Based in the centre of Leeds, responsible, flexible, and excellent at following care routines or special instructions. You can relax — I’ve got you (and your little ones) covered.
Let’s chat and see how I can help!&nbsp;
