Pet care experience
Gentle care & walks for your pup ✨
✨🐾 Dog‑Walking & Day Sitting in Henshaw, Haltwhistle & Hexham 🐾✨ I’ve grown up with dogs and have a deep, loving bond with them. While living in Malta, I dedicated every Saturday to a local dog sanctuary, handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and backgrounds. Because of this, I am happy to walk, sit, cuddle, and offer gentle, experienced companionship. I work around my waitress rota, so I have highly flexible pockets of time during the day for peaceful walks, cosy drop‑ins, and consistent care. Because I have my own reliable transport, I am fully mobile and happy to travel along the A69 corridor to care for your dog in and around Brampton, Haltwhistle, Haydon Bridge, or Hexham. If your furry one needs kindness, calm energy, and someone who genuinely adores dogs, I’d love to support you! Feel free to reach out — happy to meet up for a chat and connect 🌿💛🐾
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
For dog walking and drop-ins, I travel to the owner's home to ensure the dog remains in their comfortable, familiar environment. Before we leave for a walk, I double-check that their collar or harness is securely fitted and that the house is safely locked up. After our walk, I ensure they have fresh water, wipe muddy paws, and give them plenty of gentle companionship and cuddles before I leave. For daytime sitting, I follow the owner's exact routine regarding feeding, exercise, and house rules. I focus on creating a calm, low-stress energy, keeping the dogs safely supervised, stimulated, and well-cared for until their owners return. When looking after dogs at my home for daytime care, they have full access to a calm, comfortable living space where they can rest and play.I have a fully secure, enclosed garden where they can safely stretch their legs under my close supervision. I also have access to a fantastic nearby field where they can run freely and play fetch, should you wish for me to do so! I never leave daytime guests unattended and ensure my home is entirely "puppy-proofed" so they stay completely safe.
Ratings and reviews
My Furry Friend Loved Cikka. Unfortunately, he isn’t around now, but if he were, he would be wagging at her now; she was great and never let me down, and it's still a little raw at the moment. If I get another, he will be straight to Cikka to look after him when I am working. Anybody looking for love, affection, and a loving, clean home environment won't be disappointed.

Schedule
I work flexible, part-time shifts as a waitress, which means my weekly routine has large, dedicated blocks of free time during the day. Because I have my own car, I can easily fit dog walks and drop-in visits around my rota. I always update my Rover calendar as soon as I get my shift schedule, ensuring I only accept bookings when I can give a dog my full, undivided attention and gentle companionship.

- I wish to ensure the absolute best care and safety for your pet so it will be really helpful to know a few details about their routine and personality in advance. Please let me know their typical feeding, bathroom and playing schedules as well as how they handle being left alone for short periods. It is also important for me to know about their general temperament—such as how they react to strangers or other dogs, any anxiety triggers like loud noises plus how they walk on and off a lead - just anything that I would need to know so that your furry friend has routine and safety. It would also be helpful to know if they are fully house-trained, if they have any specific house rules like staying off the furniture, or if they prefer to sleep in a crate. The more details you can share, the more comfortable and at-home I can make your pup feel!
