Dog walking, cats and fish feeding.

Introduction

We are going on holiday and would prefer to have an animal lover looking after ours in their own home. We live in Wetherby have some lovely walks around us with the spa town of Harrogate, the historic city of York and Leeds max 30 mins away by car, although there is a regular bus service to all if needed.

Home & location

Wetherby is a market town on the river Wharfe to the north of Leeds in Yorkshire. We have a 4 bedroom detached house that is 2 minutes walk from the center which is lovely and contains a small number of pubs, bars and restaurants. Parking is resident only and a visitor pass will be waiting for you The garden is totally enclosed on 3 sides with the river being on the 4th therefore the dog is quite safe in the garden. We has access to the river where we have fishing rites. There is a number of seating areas along with a patio and BBQ area. The balcony also has a table, chairs and a BBQ, so it's lovely to sit out on an evening.

Responsibilities

The dog, cats and fish will need feeding twice a day. Archie is walked twice a day we normally walk him around 8am and about 4/5 ish. The cats will need letting out and back in when they are ready. Love and affection, Archie will never say no but this will be on the cats terms!

We had a lovely stay at Simon’s & Michele’s home, we felt very welcomed. The place is beautiful, lots of lovey walks, and beautiful scenery around. Their fluffy lovely dogs Archie and Bettie were both a blessing to look after, lots of fun long walks with them, they enjoyed playing fetch and evenings cuddles, they are so sweet. Their two cats were also very cute, Lula from time to time came for a play time, Tilly was more reserved. The house is very well equipped and the kitchen has everything you need. Waking up in the morning and hearing the birds chirp was wonderful, a much needed getaway from the city. We highly recommend sitting here.

You couldn’t wish to meet more friendly and generous people than Michele and Simon. They welcomed us into their beautiful home and invited us to share a delicious home cooked meal with them on our first evening, which was a great opportunity to get to know them better. Their home was immaculate for our arrival and super comfortable. Simon took the time to show us Archie & Betty’s favourite local walk, which was a great help. Archie & Betsy are delightful, friendly dogs, who will happily play fetch forever on the local fields and then curl up next to you back home on the huge sofas for a cuddle and a fuss. Lula and Tilly are sweet girls, and will come for a belly rub or ear tickle strictly on their cat terms! If you’re lucky enough to get the chance to sit here, you’re in for a treat and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. Thank you both, we had a lovely time, hopefully our dates will coincide again as we’d love to return one day!

We had a fabulous sit for Michele and Simon who were so welcoming and generous. Archie the Spaniel was an amazing little dog who is just so loving and obedient, he will sit and keep you company when you are in the house but when he goes out for a walk he loves to chase a ball or a stick, he has boundless energy and loves to play and run but always comes back to make sure you are there. He is just a joy to look after. Lula is beautiful and likes to be stroked but not so keen on being picked up. Tilly is so pretty but very timid and it takes her a couple of days to find her confidence with you, she is very independent and no trouble. The house is amazing and in such a lovely area, there are lots of walks around and the option of going to Leeds, Harrogate or York Wetherby is a loves thriving market town with lots of independent cafes, bars and shops. Really enjoyed this sit and i would highly recommend it x

We had such a great experience sitting for Simon and Michele. Their house is stunning with amazing river views and beyond but also ideally situated near the centre of Wetherby. Great, easy walks to do with Archie who is such an adorable dog. We loved him! The cats and fish are so easy too. Simon and Michele are so friendly and hospitable; they made us really feel at home and we’d love to do this again if we got the chance.
