Information Rosalind & Charles W. would like to know about your pet

Having had dogs of all ages, including our own pets, the age range that we would prefer to look after is between two and ten years, but can be flexible depending on the dog.

A typical day

We always go for a shorter walk before breakfast, then will be around for a quiet morning. After lunch we go for a longer walk. If the weather is good, we might go further afield for a full-day walk.

Rosalind & Charles W.'s Local Area

Rosalind & Charles W. have Star Sitter status

The Star Sitter programme highlights responsive sitters who deliver highly rated care and have a history of listing accurate availability and preferences, making it easier for pet owners to find the best care for their pets.

We really enjoy the company of dogs.

Pet care experience

Having had wonderful dogs for many years, my husband, Charles, and I now want to enjoy their company, but still be free to go away more often. Providing a dog walking and sitting service is therefore ideal for us. Having a dog is a great way for us to get out and benefit from the exercise in all weathers. We have recently moved to the fringes of Newcastle. There are many walks a short drive away, and also a lovely walk which we can do from our front door. All varied and something suitable for all ages. We have a large enclosed garden for dogs to enjoy. - - - - - - - - - - -

This was the first time that we had ever left Jasper in doggy day care. We could not have been more pleased. Rosalind and Charles were the ideal carers - experienced, calm and reassuring. We feel that Jasper had the best experience and we were kept informed with how well he was settling in, with a photo which put our minds at rest. We would not hesitate to use them again. Thank you!

We knew from meeting Ros and Charles they would take excellent care of Holly as they are very experienced and caring. Holly had a lovely time staying with them, it was clear she would be welcomed as part of their family. She enjoyed lots of walks and their beautiful garden and we got regular updates so felt reassured she was very happy. Holly is hoping to stay again over the summer! Thank you Ros and Charles!
