House Sitting in Darlington

“I often have to ask Rosie to look after my pooch Raven as I work shift patterns, but I never worry that he is not going into safe hands. Raven loves his time with Rosie as he gets lots of fun, scenic walks but also lots of cosy times in on the sofa to rest if walks are not appropriate. I would trust Rosie with Raven under any circumstance and know that he is in safe hands.”

“Judith stayed with my two cats for three nights while we were away. She was very accommodating to their needs and even met them before hand to do a meet and greet to discuss their care needs which was really helpful. She kept me updated as to how they were doing and sent pictures which put my mind at ease. Thank you so much for looking after the boys, we will definitely book again in the future☺️”

“Abigail has cared for my Labrador and our family braccos on multiple occasions. She’s done both walks from the house and private field hire trips for us. She’s very easy to get in touch with, is reliable and timely. The dogs absolutely adore her, a sure testament to how brilliant she is. She keeps in regular touch while she has them and often sends photo updates during or after. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Abigail to other pet owners.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and had my own family dogs and cats my whole life! I’m currently studying veterinary physiotherapy at uni hoping to go onto a career with dogs and horses. I’ve also completed a canine first aid course as part of my degree :) Currently i’m home from uni until October, I work part time on a horseracing yard but can fit my hours around bookings and therefore be flexible to suit your dogs needs :) I can offer your pets lots of cuddles and care for them however you prefer. I have doggy seatbelts for my car if needed but equally happy to walk them around their home area!

About: I have always had dogs and cats throughout my life growing up. That includes two large white German Shepherds and loads of cats!! I have cared for all animals big or small. I’m currently working full time but have two work from home days a week where I would be able to take care of your pets around work. I am available most evenings and weekends also. Tell me how to best care for your pet and I will make sure I adhere to all safety measures. I have cared for both indoor and outdoor cats and aware of the safety precautions which must take place when caring for animals.

“Gareth was absolutely great, our two dogs loved him. He is an obvious dog-lover and very helpful, came around to meet us and the dogs when we arranged the sitting, then again the night before to collect keys and go over details for feeding etc. 1 of our elderly dogs (Tia) is very anxious and if put in kennels she doesn't eat and it takes several days to get over it. No such problems with Gareth dog sitting, we came home to 2 happy well fed dogs. We would completely recommend Gareth and I'm sure he will be visiting Lola and Tia again. Thanks Gareth, Carol & Duncan”

“Maddison has walked my pup on numerous occasions now and he absolutely loves her! With going back to work full time I got slight mom guilt with my little puppy leaving him in his grate for a few hours which is when Maddison suggested taking him on walks to break his day up. He is very well behaved now on his walks and enjoys them a lot more! I look forward to hearing about his little adventures! Maddy is also a very lovely polite lady ❤️”

“Shoshone is a highly trustworthy woman who has a great passion and care for dogs. Shoshone has walked my dog multiple times for me in times of need, and has also stayed overnight in my home too look after my dog I never worry about anything when Shoshone is with her, and my dog gets very excited to see her, Shoshone handles my dog with great care and has a lovely bond with her, we’ve never had any problems with anything, there is no one else I would go too for dog walking or to stay in my home too look after my dog.”

“Mia has looked after and walked my dog many times. She is very trustworthy, friendly and responsible. She is great with all animals and cares for them very well.”

About: I am a retired lady who is completely mad about dogs of all shapes and sizes. I find it really hard to walk past a dog without acknowledging it. They are such wonderful creatures. I have fostered many dogs for a local rescue centre and am a member of the RSPCA and have helped with various aspects of volunteering work involving dogs and dog welfare. I have a large house with a totally secure back garden. Doggy guests can sleep upstairs or downstairs according to their owner's preference. Daily walks on the beach or through local countryside guaranteed. Let me pamper your pooch while you are away!

About: I have been animal mad since I was a little girl. I have always helped out with friends/family’s animals whether that be cat, dog, fish, hamster, rabbits. I have recently helped my partners mum rehabilitate her cat who went missing for 6 years. I have plenty of love and experience to give. I’m currently working full time but I finish at 4pm Monday - Thursday but I work late giving me plenty of time to play with your pups🐶 I finish at 1:15 on a Friday and I am free at the weekends. All my spare time goes into my business 😊 At the moment I don’t offer boarding but in the next year I am looking into this, my new house will have a large fence around it so that your animal will have a safe space to play. At the moment, I will make sure the garden is secure in your home and I will keep my full attention on the pup whilst outside. I will crate the pup if this is something you would like

“Megan is warm and friendly with a calm demeanour. She has had pets all her life, for the last few years she has given time to friends and family looking after their pets, whilst on holiday. From Guinea pigs to dogs all pets welcome x”

“Kelly stayed overnight while we attended my daughter’s wedding, I was really scared letting a stranger stay overnight but after meeting her ,Kelly was lovely and we had no hesitation letting her stay in our home overnight to look after my fur babies. She kept us updated how to dogs were and it put me at ease, When we arrived home our dogs where happy and content like they had fun while we were away. I would recommend kelly to anyone and would definitely use her again.”

“Amy has been amazing with my two dogs, Charlie and Shadow. She always makes sure to give them attention, take them for walks, and give medication when needed. She’s an amazing person - attentive, kind and caring. I have no doubt that she would excel in this role just as much as she has with everything else!”

About: I am a animal science and welfare student who is passionate about providing pets with the best care and make times when your away the least stressful as possible. I am training to eventually become a canine behaviourist. I provide dog walking, pet sitting and drop ins. I have worked with animals in vet offices, farm settings and even pet shops. I have gained a round of knowledge to how to properly care for your pet. I am very lucky to provide my pet care services full time around my university course, so I can be as flexible and reliable as possible. No one knows your pet like you do, so I like to get all information needed for you and consider the things that are personal to your pet e.g (do they favour a certain toy? Have a certain command word to eat their dinner?). Your pet will be in good hands!

“From living with Jack and witnessing his care and responsibility towards his own dog, Callie, assures me he'd make an excellent dog sitter. He is highly attentive to Callie and always prioritises her well being. I would highly recommend him for this!”
