I'm currently finishing my masters degree and transitioning back to work. My schedule is pretty flexible right now but I'm unable to book months in advance as I generally work away. When I'm not at work, dogs will have plenty of opportunities for walks and play throughout the day!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an ideal location within walking distance to Longsands beach, Northumberland park and traffic free walking routes. My flat is ground floor and I have a secure backyard for which I have sole use of. Your dog will be allowed free roam of the flat. My flat is a quiet environment so is ideal for nervous dogs. Due to my schedule I'm able to walk during quieter times of the day. I'm happy to go running with a dog if that is something that is suitable or spends a few hours on the beach playing fetch. I'm pretty active so will always ensure your dog has plenty of exercise opportunities. I will only look after 1 dog or dogs from the same family at a time. If your dog like company I can also introduce them to our working cocker who loves to play.

Active and responsible sitter

Pet care experience

I've been fortunate enough to grow up around dogs. I regularly look after our family dog and have plenty experience with high energy working breeds. Particularly Border terriers and their escape artist tricks! I will provide a loving and caring environment for your furry family member as I would with my own family pets.

Joshuah took great care of Kobbie! He was very welcoming and handled Kobbie’s high energy well. He took him out for a walk even when the weather was rubbish and sent updates/pics throughout the weekend. Would definitely recommend :)

Josh and I connected at the begging of 2025 as I was looking for a a dog sitter to look after my Border Terrier Ted. Since then, Josh has looked after Ted a number of times and Ted absolutely loves staying with him! He gets lovely long walks and runs, and is very well looked after every time he stays. Josh is a friendly and caring guy who clearly is very dog friendly!

We have an 8 year old Working Cocker who is a lively, affectionate dog. We’ve left Pickle with Joshuah for several weekends now. What is great is that Josh lives near to the beach at Tynemouth and has a park next door to his house so Pickle has more than enough exercise and stimulation - ball chasing etc. I’d recommend Joshuah to anyone with a dog who is looking for a thoroughly reliable and caring Dogsitter.
