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.

Hi, I'm Ellie, and I'm a psychology student at the University of York and I am hoping to look after your pets in this area! :)
As a dog owner, I am passionate about pets and love looking after them.&nbsp;
I have 6 years of expereince of walking my own dog in my home town in Guildford. However, I also love to walk around York and i know lots of lovely routes, both short and long. Just let me know the distance you would like for your dog!
I also have experience pet sitting cats for neighbours.&nbsp;
I can offer both pet sitting(in your home) and dog walking. I am also happy to do overnight shifts. Whether your pet is lively and loves to play or prefers cuddles, I can adapt to your pet's needs.&nbsp;
I know how to care for pets, and I can wash, feed, and give medication to them if you would like.&nbsp;
I will be very attentive to your pet, and I can send you updates and pictures on how they are getting on whilst you are away to reassure you that they are doing well. Please let me know if you are looking for someone to look after your furry friend! :)&nbsp;
Please contact me if you are interested!


Hi,
I'm currently a second year student at the University of York studying psychology. 
Although I don't necessarily have experience pet setting professionally, I have a dog back at home and I'm well versed with all the daily chores, and can also help with things such as bathing your dog, cleaning their ears, brushing teeth, etc. I only have experience with dogs, however, and would not be able to help out with cats or other animals. 
I would be more than happy to help out with dog walks, or pet sitting at your home; I just can't do pet sitting over at my accommodation, because pets sadly aren't allowed.
Because I'm currently quite far from home, I'd love to be able to take care of a dog and treat him/her as mine. You can be sure I'll take care of your dog with love, yet still be responsible and dedicated to the task at hand.
Thank you! 

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

Hi I'm true I'm 24 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) 
I'm available Saturday and Sundays all day and available for evening walks on Fridays 
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 15 and a cane corso mastiff who's 10. 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.

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!
