“Alla looked after Wolfie really well, he can be a bit nervous so it was so good to see how confident he seemed in a new space. Alla clearly made him feel very safe and welcome.”

“Leo clearly had a great time during his trial 24hrs with Yamini and Sparky - on my return he was glad to see me of course - but also showed clear affection for Yamini, who had provided videos and photos throughout - all in all a very successful trial and no worries now for the week we have booked that’s coming up….”

“Charlie loves staying with Victoria and her family as he gets lots of love and attention and he loves to be the centre of attention. I would definitely use Victoria again.”

“Lucy was absolutely brilliant with Billy. It was my first time using the app so I was slightly nervous about leaving him somewhere new. Lucy suggested a meet and greet prior to his stay and I could tell straight away she was very knowledgeable and loves dogs! Great communication and I received photos and videos throughout his stay. Highly recommend and I am glad to have found Lucy, Billy also clearly loved her ☺️”

“Dorothy and her daughter Joanne looked after my little beautiful buttercup for a few hours one day and overnight this week while I had to do some work training and a shift at my old job. She was as happy as Larry going to see them. Thanks so much x”

“Andrew has been great with Erik- they got on well and Erik came home happy - Andrew asked us lots of questions when we met him before Erik's stay and Erik seemed to take to Andrew and his house and garden - during his stay Andrew kept us well informed with photos and messages of their days - we will definitely ask Andrew to help again and would recommend him”

“Heather is an absolutely fantastic person. She provided top quality care for my dog & puppy for 6 days whilst my wife and I went on holiday. I recommend her to everyone and will definitely bring our babies here every time we go on holiday (providing there’s availability) thank you!”

We have a front and back garden both gated and fenced. Our home is based at the top of a large hill with fantastic views and walking trails to hand.

I have a full driving licence. Pick up and drop off available from your chosen Sunderland area. Happy to accommodate owners requests. Any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’m about to take a voluntary redundancy from my current remote job of almost 11 years.

I have all the time for your beloved pet with no time obstacles, please ask any questions unanswered. I have a 6ft fenced back garden, grass, patio, decking, whichever they prefer. We also have a 6ft water feature (operates April - Sept) that the dogs seem to love! Out front we have a 4ft iron fenced garden with a drive. Again more grass, a great spot to relax and say hello to the passers by. I live in a very friendly cul de sac with very little traffic. The neighbourhood has a friendly atmosphere and great to play with other pets. I live on a hill with a popular trail area for dog walking. We also venture to Hylton castle and the pond which is also on our doorstep with large fields and parks for your pets leg stretches.

“Hugo, Lily and Luna had a fantastic time! Drop off stress free for all the dogs and myself and ready to be collected. Regular updates were very much appreciated. Thank you so much Barbara x”

“Thank you Dean and Chloe for looking after Millie! The care you gave her was first class. You’re both clearly animal lovers and I felt at ease immediately leaving her with you. She loved spending time with you both and going on walks. You both treated her with love, care and respect, and I’ll always be grateful. She definitely loved all the fuss you made of her! I highly recommend Dean and Chloe to look after your precious fur babies as if they were their own.”

“Very communicative with lots of pictures. Clearly had lots of fun on their adventures and he came home nice and exhausted. 100% would recommend.”

“Our Labrador, Dexter was well looked after by Suzanne. She sent frequent updates with pics and videos, which brought me peace of mind. Suzanne also has an older lab (and other three dogs) a playful companion for Dex. Thanks so much Suzanne”

“Absolutely fantastic dealing with my rescue who is nervous with strangers and has particular needs. Listened to everything I said, very respectful of his boundaries, and seemed to be relaxed and settled in no time!”

“Thank you so much to Keely for having Alfie while we’ve been on holiday. Would not hesitate to leave Alfie with her again. She sent me daily updates and photos of Alfie while we were away. Highly recommend her to look after anyones pets.”

“Evangelia gave a lot of care, plays and walks to our girl, Maple. Maple wasn't keen to leave when we went over to pick her up:) We are so happy that Maple also had a great time while we were on holiday. She send us a daily updates about Maple which keeps us reassuring. We would recommend Evangelia to anyone who are looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter!”

“Kate very kindly agreed to look after our two boys with just over a weeks’ notice. We did meet up a few days prior to the stay to make sure our two Labradors were happy with Fraser - not that there were any concerns but a nice touch to agree to meeting up. Kate and her family have done a fab job, plenty of updates and photos. Including a photo of Fraser cuddling into Bailey! Super cute! I think my two labs would have happily stayed longer and were a little disappointed that I picked them up and took them home away from Fraser :) Would definitely book with Kate again and would highly recommend.”

“Highly recommended! Vlada offered to meet with me and Patty beforehand so Patty could get to know her. It was a big relief to find an experienced dog sitter able to care for Patty over Christmas. And when I collected Patty she was well and happy. Many thanks :)”
