When you have to go away or work long hours, you may worry about leaving your pet home alone. Have you ever wondered “Is there a pet or dog sitter in York that can help?”.

Luckily, with Pawshake, you can easily find local and trusted pet and dog carers from York to provide drop in visits and other services. This means a pet sitter will come and visit your pet at a time you both agree on and provide lots of love and personal attention. This can include playtime in the backyard, a walk to the local park, or just some cuddle time. Our pet carers can also administer medication, give food, and refresh the water bowl.

In home pet sitting services are a great way to break up the day and enrich it for your pet. Pawshake pet sitters have extensive experience caring for a range of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and more. If you have multiple pets, home visits are a great option to ensure that they all get a visit and lots of attention during the day.

Drop in visits are the least stressful option for your pet because your pet can stay in their favourite environment – their own home in York. Their surroundings will be familiar and our loving and passionate Pawshake sitter will spoil them each day. Our sitters will treat your home with respect and are flexible with timing, requests and durations. All this can be discussed before you make a home visit booking.

Pet boarding is a great option for when you are away for a few days and your pet needs overnight care. Unlike pet hotels, Pawshake pet boarding allows you to arrange a personalised daily routine for your pet, whether this be extra belly rubs, playtime or 24 hour supervision. Your pet will stay with the pet sitter in a cosy home environment, rather than a large, impersonal pet hotel.  

So whether you need just one day, a week or even a month, you’ll be able to find an experienced pet or dog carer to accommodate you and your pet’s needs in York. The best part is that your Pawshake pet sitter is from your local neighbourhood, so they will be familiar with the area.

Our pet carers also have a range of experiences which include puppies, seniors, nervous pets and dog training. So if your pet has special requirements, you’ll be sure to find a pet sitter that is a good match for you.

Your pet’s safety and welfare is a big priority for us, which is why all of our Pawshake pet sitters undergo a strict vetting process by our trust and safety team. At Pawshake, we understand that you might feel a little uneasy allowing a pet sitter to enter your home or arranging pet boarding at their place. This is why Pawshake pet sitters also have reviews from other pet parents that are publicly available on their profile for you to read.

Each pet sitting home visit and pet boarding booking made through Pawshake is covered by the Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer support 7 days a week and more. Rest easy knowing that your pets will be well looked after by one of our expert pet carers in York.

I’m a 23-year-old master’s student living in York, and I’d love to welcome your furry friend into my life through dog boarding and walking services. Growing up in a home filled with the joy (and fur!) of dogs, I’ve been surrounded by them ever since I could walk. Dogs aren’t just pets in my family — they’re part of who we are. I’ve personally cared for three out of the four dogs my family has had over the years, and those experiences have shaped my deep love and understanding of animals.
Whether it’s a playful pup or a wise, older dog needing a bit more rest and comfort, I’ve had hands-on experience with both, and I can confidently say: your dog will be treated with the same care, love, and attention I’d give my own. I don’t just see this as a service — I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, playing with them, going for walks, and yes, giving them all the cuddles they want! I have experience from my previous year of dog sitting and walking, and my clients have ranged from cute little cocker spaniel pups to middle aged and older flat coat retrievers, indies, Burmese mountain, corgis and many more. 
I currently live in a student dorm at Wentworth College on Campus West. My accommodation is on the third floor with no elevators, however the open grounds are right behind my dorm making it a perfect spot for daily walks, sniffing adventures, and some good off leashes exercise.
As a student, I do have to attend lectures, but my schedule is very flexible. On any given day, I’m never away from home for more than 3-4 hours. So if your dog is comfortable with a short solo nap while I’m out, we’re already a great match!
I welcome dogs of all breeds and sizes — small, medium, or large — though I will only board one dog at a time to ensure your pet gets my full attention and care. For health and safety reasons, I kindly ask that dogs be vaccinated and neutered. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority.
So, whether you need someone to take your dog out for a refreshing walk or to provide a loving home while you're away, I’m here to help. Let’s chat, get to know each other, and make sure your dog feels right at home with me.
Looking forward to meeting you and your four-legged companion soon! 

Warm woofs,
Zeenat

An academic historian/museum professional based in York. I got my love of cats from my mum and have had cats for 19 years now - first, three beautiful rescues at my parents house, and now my own little calico sweetheart, Frida (aka Fifi) and pocket rocket black cat, Lilith (aka Lili). I live with my partner so he can look after our little one while I look after yours.

I love to sit and cuddle, groom and play with your little ones. I am more than happy to tailor my time to what your cats like doing - even offering the occasional treat, if allowed! I’d love to keep you updated with photos and videos if that would give peace of mind.

I will always make sure the space is cleared (including full litter tray changes if required), their food bowls are clean and water is changed. I can also collect any post, do morning/evening curtain and blind opening, and make sure your house plants are kept alive 🪴

I am highly proficient at giving syringe/tablet oral medications and eye drops (thanks to years with cats with various ailments), and have done injections in the past. If you have a preferred way of doing their injections, I am all too happy to learn.

I work from home 3/4 out of 5 days (the other 1/2 days I’ll be in Leeds, so not too far away). I also have a car/license, so can readily get to your location.

If you require overnight stays, I will need access to WiFi (for work purposes), would appreciate information on what amenities are available (including towels/bedding/tea and coffee) so I know what to bring with me, and access to parking.

Hi I'm true I'm 23 years old and adore all things animals.&nbsp;And just recently moved to York from Dublin. I had to leave my 2 best friends in their home back in Dublin (my mastiff Dea and glen of immal Sheldon) 
since I was born I've had some sort of animal in my life from dogs to small animals such as hamsters, rats, rabbits and Guinne pigs along with reptiles such as snakes and bearded dragon.&nbsp;
i love all dogs especially big ones. I myself have a geln of immle terrier who's 14 and a cane corso mastiff who's 9. I have a level 5 QQI in animal care with all distinctions. I recently finished work in a petshop after 4 years in Ireland that also had the grooming studio that I helped in when needed. I love dog training and love helping people and their fur babies with Infomation when it comes to all things training. I love every Second of being around animals and adored getting to know regular dogs in my old job and seeing them grow from when they come in as puppies.

My services include day dog sitting in your home. The dog will not be left alone unless discussed and during this time will be played with and walked. 
I also would love to meet up with you for dog training either in your home or in a park setting 
Please ensure your dog is microchipped, vaccinated and also have a collar with an id tag 

Hi, I’m Garry, a reliable and friendly dog walker and pet carer. I love spending time outdoors and giving dogs a safe, happy, and enjoyable walk. I tailor each walk to your dog’s needs, whether they enjoy a leisurely stroll, a more energetic adventure, or some gentle play along the way.

I have hands-on experience with my own 7-year-old Cockapoo, which has taught me patience, understanding, and how to read a dog’s moods. I’m comfortable working with a wide range of breeds and temperaments, including shy, nervous dogs, energetic or high-energy breeds, and smaller dogs that need careful handling. I also have experience with dogs who are reactive on walks and can provide gentle guidance and reassurance to keep them calm and safe.

I walk dogs in local parks, trails, and safe neighbourhood routes, and can tailor walks to your dog’s fitness and preferences. In addition to walking, I can provide home visits, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and basic grooming attention. I’m also trained to handle minor emergencies, carry water and first aid if needed, and ensure every dog is comfortable and secure.

Rates start at £13 for a 30-minute walk. I always recommend a short meet-and-greet first so your dog can get to know me and feel at ease. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend!


I have always had a deep love for animals, which is why becoming a pet sitter feels like such a natural fit for me.&nbsp;
Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for many different pets, from playful puppies to senior dogs, curious cats, and even fish and reptiles.&nbsp;
I have experience house sitting, and I’ve provided reliable, loving care for dogs, cats, and fish. In addition, I gained extensive dog-walking experience during college, which gave me the opportunity to handle dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels.
I also grew up surrounded by animals—dogs, cats, and even a lizard—so I understand how important it is to provide them with not just basic care, but also attention, affection, and companionship.&nbsp;
My motivation as a pet sitter is simple: I want every pet I care for to feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing, or just providing quiet company, I’m dedicated to treating each pet like they’re part of my own family.


Hi!! Thank you so much for considering me to look after your furry friend! I’m a caring and dependable pet sitter who truly loves spending time with animals of all kinds. I offer services of dog walks, once a day drop ins or twice a day drop ins. As this is what I have my experience in (and my building don't allow pets so I can't have pets in my home, but I am more than happy to visit the owners home!). Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or snuggle sessions, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs and routines, from energetic dogs who love long walks to shy cats who need gentle care. With a strong sense of responsibility, clear communication, and plenty of patience, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their furry (or feathered!) family members are in trustworthy hands. I personally have 2 rabbits, but I've had cats before and I have experience with cats and dogs! I intend to make any animal parent feel totally safe and stress free with leaving their furry friend in my care! Message me if you're interested in my care! 

Hi, I'm Holly! I am 28 and I offer dog walking and home visits for both dogs and cats in York  I grew up with multiple pets and now have my own little kitty cat.&nbsp;I have experience working with rescue animals from volunteering at the Yorkshire Cat Rescue where I worked with kitties of all different levels of health. I also used to work at an veterinary pathology lab where I would work on samples sent from vet practices so I have a good knowledge of animal health. I have experience working in a vet practice and horse stables too!I am looking to make some extra money alongside my full time job and have always loved working with animals so this is a perfect fit and I can promise your fur babies will be safe and happy with me  please drop me a message if you're interested in my services, thank you! 

Service: Full day care (9-5) for your pet at your home for the price of 'one visit'. I have had dogs growing up and my parents currently have one we house trained as well as teaching basic tricks. I know that many people rescued/bought dogs during the pandemic who are now left home alone through the day.I would like to keep them company and give them cuddles and attention whilst I work from my laptop, in their home. I have also had rabbits as pets who I have litter trained. I would like to take the dogs for walks too as it helps me get exercise through the day.&nbsp;I am a lawyer so am professional and can be trusted in people's homes. I don't have many meetings so my attention will be given completely to the dog, who I expect will curl up next to me whilst I'm typing away and will enjoy cuddles.&nbsp;The reason I wish to do this is because I love pets (in particular dogs) so much and they make me happy. I can't get my own because I am not allowed in the rental agreement so this is the next best thing.&nbsp;
