Dog Sitting in Newcastle

About: I grew up with animals my whole life. I got my first cat and dog as an adult when I was 21 years old. Since then I've always had animals, including a few rabbits along the way. In our household, I'm the one who feeds and bathes our dogs because I've been a stay-at-home mom for years. I've been through the senior years of pets so I understand the extra care they can require and I'm comfortable giving them medicine. I've also been through the puppy phase multiple times, and I've even been through multiple dog pregnancies with my current two doggy fur babies. I'm not currently working because I've been a stay-at-home mom for many years so I have plenty of time to take care of other pets. If I take a job in the future, it'll be remote so I can still have flexibility in my schedule. I'm comfortable crating a pet if that's what you want (I've had a couple of dogs that were destructive as young pups so they had to be crated in their younger years). I would also enjoy spending time outside in a fenced yard with your dogs.

About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog feels the most comfortable, loved, and most importantly safe in the short time I have them. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they're used to at home. I'm an out of state college student who has three larger dog breeds at home that I miss so much. And I’ve grown up around dogs all my life so making pups as happy as I can and taking care of them just come second nature for me! Although I've been a lifelong dog lover, my experience with pups is much more far-reaching than that. I recently have over 2 years of volunteering experience at a no-kill animal shelter called “City of Norman Animal Welfare” and I’m hoping to take my lived experience and activism with animals into a summer job. I've worked with dogs big and small and loved taken care of all of them equally. I've also been trained in Pet First Aid and am experienced administering medication. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure that we're all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup, their needs, and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it's always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs!! like to get down on their level to show them that I'm a welcome presence here to make friends, and I'm sure we'll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it is to be away from your best friend, so communication is the name of my game. I'll make sure to send plenty of regular updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having together <3 Note: Might do cats in the future, but as I’ve gotten older I’ve grown allergic so Benadryl is a must. I am currently working an internship at a museum with very flexable hours for the summer giving me lots of time to play and walk your pups! With the internship I just need to work 12 hours a week but can come and go from the museum as I like and can take an hour off for lunch, work only 2 days a week, only work early mornings, it is truely amazing having such an independent schedule, which is why I thought dog sitting & walking would be a great idea. Would love to do boarding/doggy daycare, like I said in my bio, I miss my dogs at home so much so giving some weekend love to yours won’t be a problem. But I do live in an apartment and having any animal for longer than a week without having them registered with the building would be against my lease, so I cannot do super long sleepovers :( My entire apartment complex is fenced in but because theres other people they would be on a leash, but theres PLENTY of grass to go potty and frolic. We also have a large yard in the center of the apartment complex where they can run and stretch their legs off leash. While all dogs are outside on or off leash they will NEVER leave my sight regardless of have a history of running away or not. Love playing fetch with dogs and rewarding good behavoir with lots of treats. (Dietary concerns considered) I drive a toyota highlander SUV with plenty of space for transporting your pups and making sure they’re secure and totally safe. Just like watching your dogs transporting them should be done with the utmost care and I have a squeaky clean drivng record. I currently do not have a crate at my apartment, but dogs generally feel most comfortable in their own bedding especially in a new unfamilar environment, if you’d allow me to bring it from your home and return it with your pet. There’s plenty of space in the apartment, but I’d only sit about three large dogs at a time to allow plenty of playtime space or incase they get the zoomies. Dog beds or crates can be in the livingroom or my bedroom wherever your pet is most comfortable sleeping. I am also comfortable washing dogs after having multiple sessions with them to gauge temperment. A lot of dogs get anxious with baths and I am more then comfortable handling that and have multiple times in the past, but I do not need to put myself in harms way dealing with aggressive untrained dogs. Nonetheless I understand that for a lot of middle aged dog parents bathing dogs is tedious and can hurt your back, so I am happy to provide a clean pup for an additional tip!

“We were visiting from out-of-town and Kylie was willing to stay with our dog, Rio, at our hotel room while we attended a funeral and family gathering. She 'hung-out' with him quietly in the room while he napped and took him for walks around the property when he was awake. Rio seemed to enjoy Kylie's company!”

“Shelby is great! This is our second time we have had her come and do a drop in visit. She is always friendly, communicative and follows all of our request's! Our dog loves her and always looks forward to seeing her!”

Natasha A.

“She was on time for the drop in visits and met my needs of needing someone for an hour since my new addition is a little hyper and needs play time before going back in her kennel. She also was able to accommodate me with my schedule changes due to personal reasons. She sent me plenty of pictures of both of my fur babies. Thank you again.!!!”

About: I started volunteering at veterinary clinics in middle school because I’ve always had such a big heart for serving and caring for animals. I rescued my terrier/lab mix as a puppy, and she is very lovable and fully convinced she’s human. I’ve also grown up caring for very large family dogs, from Great Pyrenees and pit bulls to golden retrievers, so I truly love pets of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels! I also have experience caring for cats, birds, guinea pigs, and other pets through both personal experience and helping family and friends with their animals. As a recent OU graduate and former collegiate cheerleader, I’m dependable, active, and love giving pets lots of attention, care, playtime, and exercise. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own! During the summer, I’ll be dedicating my time, energy, and lots of love to caring for your pets! I recently graduated from OU, so before starting my full-time career, I’m excited to spend my days giving pets the attention, playtime, exercise, and care they deserve. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be dependable, attentive, and fully present for your pets throughout the day. I live in a very safe, pet-friendly environment with access to a dog park, walking trails, and a spacious, cozy interior where pets can relax, play, and feel comfortable. At the same time, I know pets feel most secure in familiar spaces, so whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, my goal is always to create a loving, calm, and trustworthy environment where they feel safe, happy, and cared for like family.

“We cannot say enough good things about Amanda! She is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! She plays with and loves on our dogs every time she comes over and sends us a detailed note letting us know how they were doing. She goes above and beyond! We are so grateful to have her take care of our fur babies!!”

About: I have got to hang out with dogs for years! The people I’ve sat for before have always said I am a reliable, loving sitter. I am currently working a part-time job, but it still leaves me with plenty of time during the week to see all of your animals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine to make sure they’re comfortable. I make sure they are fed, have fresh water, get walks and playtime, and receive plenty of attention. I also always make sure to send updates so owners know their pet is safe and happy.

“First time using Rover and experience was absolutely amazing. She communicated well and could tell she really cared for my pups well being and happiness. 10/10 will use again.”

About: I have lots of experience around all kinds and sizes of pets! I grew up with cats, dogs, and horses and have pet sit for families with multiple pets in the home. I worked at a wildlife rehabilitation center for multiple years so I have experience giving meds and caring for animals with special needs or health problems. I’d love the opportunity to set up a time to chat and see if I’d be a good fit for you and your pet(s)! I’m finishing up my last class at OU so I have a very flexible schedule and could be present for most of the day. I’m comfortable doing whatever is needed to keep your fur baby happy and healthy. I have experience taking multiple dogs on a walk, feeding on a schedule, letting them out, I can do it all!

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up caring for a wide variety of animals, from horses to hamsters, which has made me very comfortable working with different species, personalities, and care needs. Being around animals my entire life has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize when a pet needs extra attention or care. In addition to my personal experience, I’ve also worked in veterinary medicine for the past 3 years. That experience has given me hands-on knowledge in animal handling, basic health monitoring, and understanding pet behavior. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering medications if needed, and making sure pets stay safe, happy, and comfortable. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel cared for while their owners are away. My goal is always to provide reliable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. For me, pet care fits naturally into my routine because caring for animals has always been part of my life. I plan my schedule to make sure I have time for visits, feeding routines, potty breaks, and giving pets the attention they need. Weekends are ideal for me, and I’m available from Friday evening through Monday night. I’m reliable with timing and enjoy checking in on pets to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. 🐾 I care for pets in their own home by following their normal routine so they stay comfortable. During visits I can help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box care, playtime, and lots of attention. I also send updates so owners know their pets are happy and safe.

About: Ever since I was a child, I was around dogs and taken care of them. I understand the responsibility and how much your pets mean to you! I am currently working as a nurse. I work 3 days a week from 7am-7pm. This allows for a flexible schedule to take care of your pets. I will come over to your house to keep your pets in the comfort of their own home. I will treat your pets with kindness and love as if they were my own.

“My cats warmed up to her quickly and she sent pictures and videos of how they were doing. She also saved the day when I was stranded in another state! I'm very grateful for her care of my cats!”

Rhea M.

“She is truly exceptional, always available to care for my pets whenever I need her. Additionally, she has been a great help in resetting the Wi-Fi during outages. My heartfelt thanks to her! She's a lifesaver”

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals since I was 10 years old. I worked on my aunt’s ranch where I cared for a variety of animals including dogs and cats. I also have a lot of experience with dogs since I showed my dog in 4H and won several awards. I love animals of all shapes and sizes so I’m sure I will be a perfect fit for your furry friend. I care for my pets every morning and every night. During three of the weekdays, I have class but I return home right after to spend time with them and get them exercise. I carry dog treats with me when doing visits to help the dogs feel more comfortable. I also enjoy taking long walks with dogs to keep them entertained. I am particularly fond of cats, as they are my favorite animal. I have four cats myself, and I think cats are truly precious. I love taking care of animals. My apartment complex features a significant amount of green space and a dog park. In my apartment, there are dog toys, cat toys, cat trees, and three different pet water fountains.

About: I’ve taken care of my friends and families dogs, cats, horses etc. for the last 10+ years and currently have two dogs of my own in the household. I am a stay at home mom so I am available pretty much any time so long as my 6yr old can come with me. He has been around animals his entire life and is great with them. Pets in my home have their own separate room in the house to get away from all the hustle and bustle, we have 2 doggy doors and a fenced in yard as well that they get to play in as much as they want. Pets in their own home that I do drop ins for get the same treatment as my own while I am there

About: I've always loved dogs since I was a little girl! My family and I have a Chihuahua-Jack Russel mix and an English Bulldog. I'm very familiar with taking care of small to medium sized dogs, and I love taking them on walks! It's my favorite way to stay active while hanging out with fur babies. I also have experience with taking care of senior dogs. I'm looking forward to providing quality care to your pets! I have a part-time job on Mondays-Thursdays, from 2-7pm. My preferred time for drop-ins and walks during these days are 9-11:30am and 7:30-10pm. On Fridays and the weekends, I have more availability. Please feel free to reach out so we can see if our schedules match up! I understand that every pet has their own unique personality. Because of this, I prioritize asking pet owners for their fur baby's preferences regarding food, toys, and their favorite spots for pets, along with allergies, injuries, and such. This ensures I have a full picture of their pet and can provide quality care.

About: I have over 3 years of dog-sitting experience, including caring for multiple dogs at once and managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m comfortable working with dogs that may be shy or nervous at first, and I always take the time to help them feel safe and comfortable! I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for your pets, making sure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship whenever needed. With a flexible schedule it can also allow me to take and last minute bookings if needed!! I am able to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, helping them stay relaxed, comfortable, and secure in their familiar environment while you are away.

“Brayden was communicative and definitely helped put my mind at ease leaving our sweet girl overnight. Very prompt with timing and I could absolutely tell in the photos that he’s a true dog/animal lover. 100% would use again and recommend.”

Holli W.

“Hired I had a great experience with Ashlynn during their drop-in visit with my two dogs! They were kind, patient, and clearly knew how to make the pups feel comfortable. They played fetch and gave them some fun exercise, and the most impressive part was how they were able to connect with my usually standoffish dog—he even let them pet him, which is rare! I really appreciated the care and attention they gave, and I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
