Pet Sitters in City And Borough Of Wakefield

Bethany & Ollie

Beth and Ollie are star house sitters. They cared for our 7 year old Lurcher Ares who can be reactive with other dogs and made us feel totally confident. It sounds like he was very at ease and happy in their care and really well behaved which goes to show how great Beth and Ollie are with dogs who are extra special :) They set up a shared album which both my partner and I had access to – it was great seeing photos and videos of Ares while we where away. We had instant trust in both Beth and Ollie – they’re super responsible, organised and just really kind, lovely people. Our house was more spotless than when we left which was an extra treat. We can’t say thank you to Beth and Ollie enough. We would have them back in a heartbeat and Ares misses them already!

Stuart

We were delighted to welcome Stuart and Andrew again (3rd time!) to look after our two Ragdolls. As usual they were extremely well cared for, played with, brushed and cuddled! We received regular reports, pics and videos and of course the house was left perfectly. They also helped keep our veg and plants alive through a dry spot and sorted out an awkward Royal Mail issue. The kittys weren’t at all bothered to see us return… whichassume is a good thing. Hope you can come again soon and a big thank you to you both :) 🐾

Lucy

It was brilliant having Lucy to look after Bryn & our home - everything worked out perfectly. She kept in touch regularly and we were totally confident leaving her in charge. After a long journey home, we were treated to a delicious home-cooked meal too. Bryn welcomed us back and then disappeared again to find Lucy - he clearly adored her! We would highly recommend Lucy and would be delighted to have her here again as a housesitter, or as a guest.

Deborah

Deborah was terrific. My lab Xanda was lost without her pal Riley who died recently. Deborah gave her a lots of care and attention. She took her to the beach, cafes and church! The house was immaculate on my return and she had baked a chocolate cake for the arrival of my daughter later in the day.

cally

Cally is a lovely, kind, mature & responsible young lady. We got to know her and see her interacting with our pets, when she stayed with us for a few days before and after our time away. Our labradoodle & border collie went to Cally to ask for walks and pats, even when I was in the room. The 2 cats and 2 dogs were not too much for her to handle on her own. I would highly recommend Cally as a pet sitter. She is also an amazing cookie baker!! Thank you Cally ! for the care of our home & pets, and for the best choc chip cookies I've ever had in my own home.

Samuel

Sam & Caitlin are wonderful , perfect house guests and dog carers .and are 100% reliable Lulu had a great time with a variety of city walks which kept her happy and even a few adventures to the countryside . I would love to have them visit again and I am absolutely sure that Lulu would give them a warm welcome too . Thank you

Tim & Jess

Tim and Jess came to stay with my 17month old pup for just over a week. They were very friendly, self sufficient and most importantly, Frankie was super happy when I got home. It was really helpful that they put the bedding in the machine for me when they left. They also sent me photos of him which I appreciated. I would recommend them for sitting.

George & Jasmin

George and Jasmin are absolutely lovely. We had a Zoom call 2 weeks prior to my departure and then they arrived on the day I was leaving a few hours before so that we could go through the girls routines, and show them round the house. They sent me photos and kept me informed throughout their stay and when I returned 9 days later the house was clean and tidy - they had even washed the towels and bedding they had used and re-made the bed. The girls were all relaxed and happy. I would highly recommend George and Jasmine to care for your pets and would definitely use them again. Thank you to both of you for being such excellent and caring sitters.

Ellie & Max

This is the second time Ellie and Max have sat for us - we invited them back personally based on a fantastic experience first time round. They are reliable, look after our house and pets perfectly and go above and beyond!

Louise

Louise was a lovely house sitter to have looking after our two dogs, chickens and quail. The dogs were taken for daily long walks and well cared for. During our holiday Louise kept us posted with little updates of the dogs and was very easy to communicate with. Our house was left spotless and a treat to come home to!

Em

Em was great! It was her first sit with TH and we chatted beforehand about everything. She arrived on time and worked with me while my return time was in flux. Charlie had a great weekend with her!

Mike & Cassie

This is the third stay by Mike & Cassie and we couldn’t be happier. This time we weren’t able to do a handover but were confident in their ability to settle right in to Niska’s routine when they arrived. I received regular pictures and updates on how she was doing and she looked so happy all the time. The house was spotless too which is always a bonus on a return from holiday. Mike and Cassie will always be welcome, Niska clearly loves them which is good enough for me.

Anita

The only thing that wasn't amazing about Anita's house sitting opportunity was having to say goodbye to Jak and Ruby! I totally fell in love with them, both full of charm and personality. Anita's home was lovely to stay in, her hospitality amazing, and the Lota area relaxing and lovely.

Tim and Wendy

Communication with Tim and Wendy was spot on. We had loads of advance information so we found their home without any problems. It is located in the French countryside so this can be tricky! Squeaky and Twiggy adapted and adopted us quickly and we enjoyed their different personalities from day 1.  Tim shared in advance "how to" videos on the nuances of the kitties and the house which were really helpful. The town of Lodeve located approx 4kms away had everything you need and more.  We were very sorry to leave.

Eileen

Rick and Eileen were kind hosts prior to and during the sit. They ensured that I was comfortable with their cat’s and home requirements.
Rick showed me how to use fire logs to heat the house and Eileen gave a tour of the many trails on their property. Also, I was able to go out frequently and the kitties did okay.
I learned much about cats during this sit and enjoyed playing with, petting, and brushing Zeke and Cora. And learning about each cat’s personalities and needs.
Piper came on my lap once and was playful a few times. Otherwise Piper was mostly in the Tiny house or outdoor Catio during the days. 
A lovely home in the woods but close enough to everything.

Alex

Alex and Elaina are extremely welcoming! I felt very safe and cared for. Niffo and Lola are lovely to take care of!! Niffo will remind you to have fun, splashing around in the pool playing frisbee or ball. Lola is a sweetheart who loves comfort and rest. The best of both worlds taking care of these two!

Jeff and Melissa

Jeff and Melissa were very hospitable. They have a beautiful home in a great location with three wonderful dogs. I would definitely pet and house sit for them again.

Julia

Mabel and Stanley were both great, though with different personalities - laid-back and energetic respectively! They enjoyed their walks in the woods, especially enjoying their doggy friends, and slept soundly all night, as did we! Julia's cottage was very comfortable and quiet, and she very kindly gave us a meal the evening before the sit so we could learn about the dogs and the cottage. Communication was excellent too.
