House Sitting in Cleveland

“We had the pleasure of having Tim come over to look after our puppy, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience! From the moment he arrived, Tim was incredibly friendly and approachable. He took the time to listen to all the information we shared about our puppy's routine and needs, which immediately put us at ease. Throughout the day, Tim kept in touch with us, providing regular updates and photos that reassured us our furry friend was in great hands. It was clear he genuinely cared about our puppy's well-being, and his attentiveness made a significant difference in our peace of mind while we weren’t there. . We highly recommend Tim to anyone in need of a pet sitter. His professionalism and warmth truly made the day enjoyable for both us and our little one. We will definitely be reaching out to him again in the future if he is happy to come back.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, ducks, chickens, and horses. I’m based in Darlington and cover Teesside and North Yorkshire Area. I’ve done pet and house sitting for a variety of animals, and I always treat them with the same care and love I would my own. I recently graduated from the University of York and am currently taking a break before starting work, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to looking after pets and making sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for in their own home. I’m fully available at the moment while taking a break after uni, so I can easily fit pet care into my day - whether it’s short-notice bookings, longer house sits, or anything in between. I’m flexible with timing and can adapt to your pet’s usual routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I only offer pet care in the owner’s home, where pets feel most safe and comfortable in their usual routine. I always follow your instructions closely, keep things clean and secure, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. I treat every home with respect and keep you updated while you’re away, so you can relax knowing everything’s in good hands.

About: I've cared for a variety of pets throughout my life, from dogs and cats to horses and livestock! My aim is for all pets to feel as loved as possible. I work part time from home, as well as helping on the family farm. I have lots of availability for dog walking and pet sitting. Currently only offering house sitting and dog walks while work is being done on my house. However, current clients will have priority for when pet sitting in my own home becomes available. I have a gentle but playful border collie who can join playful pups for walks, or single household walks are available too!

“Emma & Charlotte did great job of looking our three lovely doggies. We were only away for one night, but it was so reassuring to know that our 'girls' were in safe hands. Thank you Emma & Charlotte.”

“Brittney and Steven have gone beyond any expectations in caring for and showering my babies with love. The initial separation anxiety (for me as well) disappeared due to the attention, fun (and millions of much welcomed pictures). I highly highly highly recommend Brittney and pawsinthetoon”

About: I’m experienced in handling large dogs (any size/breed welcome) and have a deep understanding of the needs and quirks of anxious and reactive dogs and the care and patience they require through my experience with my extremely nervous rescue German Shepherd who was in very bad mental and physical condition when I adopted him. Sadly, he passed at the end of 2024 after many happy years together. Personally, I found it extremely difficult to trust others to walk or care for him during our time together so I’d like to reassure those in a similar position that I can take care of their best friend when they need it and I’ll always be as careful, understanding and vigilant as I was with my own. My garden is secure with full, well-maintained fences and walls and a padlocked gate, I have blinds on all public facing windows which can be closed if dogs are triggered by people walking by. Everyone is welcome to supply any toys, beds or anything that makes your dog feel more comfortable and of course I will stick to their usual walking schedule and dietary requirements. I live directly next to a large park which is not typically very busy and offers numerous trails from the main paths to avoid others when caring for reactive dogs. I will never let anyone’s dog off the lead during a walk (unless I have booked a secure field) and always clip leads to a strong walking belt as extra security, walk in shaded areas on hot days and carry water at all times. I mainly work from home so when boarding and pet sitting your dog will be with me all day with regular opportunities to play, go in the garden and for walks in the morning, lunch time and evening. I’m available for walks morning, lunchtime and evenings during the week and all day Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. I only care for dogs from the same household on walks and in my home unless they are friends who have already spent time together. This is for the best possible wellbeing of each dog. I’d rather provide quality and complete confidence than take on as many dogs as possible as I believe in giving them the individual care and attention they deserve with as few stressful triggers as possible. I work from home so dogs will not be left unattended or outside for prolonged periods. I only endorse the use of positive reinforcement / reward-based training and treat all dogs with respect, understanding and care tailored to their specific needs. I’m happy to discuss your requirements, answer any questions and arrange a pre-stay meet and greet if required. I have also completed a certified DBS check through my employer.

“Kelly stayed overnight while we attended my daughter’s wedding, I was really scared letting a stranger stay overnight but after meeting her ,Kelly was lovely and we had no hesitation letting her stay in our home overnight to look after my fur babies. She kept us updated how to dogs were and it put me at ease, When we arrived home our dogs where happy and content like they had fun while we were away. I would recommend kelly to anyone and would definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a teenager for friends and family, including large sight hounds, medium and small sized dogs and cats. I work full time but my job has flexible hours so I’m able to drop in and care for your pets whenever you need me to. I am neat and tidy and am happy to care for your animal in your home or take them outside for walks if and when needed.

“I have been very impressed with Karolina’s professionalism and also her clear passion for dogs. She took to my 3 straight away as they did her. On the day, poor Karolina had a few challenges to deal with and she was brilliant. Massively put my mind at ease considering I couldn’t get back to her to help. I highly recommend Karolina.”

“Gemma was the best sitter we could have hoped for! She is a lovely and caring person and was so nice with our dog, he can be awkward but she handled him superbly and managed to walk him better than we can! We would not hesitate to use her again in the future!”

About: As a devoted pet sitter, my motivation stems from a deep-rooted love for dogs and a genuine enjoyment in caring for animals. My journey into pet sitting began organically as I found myself frequently looking after friends' and family members' dogs, as well as other animals, while they were away on holidays. This experience has not only enriched my life with countless wagging tails and warm nuzzles but has also instilled in me a sense of responsibility and understanding of the trust pet owners place in a sitter. I take pride in providing a service that goes beyond mere supervision. To me, pet sitting is about creating a bond with each animal, ensuring they feel loved, secure, and engaged in the absence of their owners. Whether it's maintaining their daily routines, providing stimulating playtime, or just being a comforting presence, my goal is to ensure that every pet is happy and healthy under my care. My services are tailored to each pet's individual needs, and I am committed to upholding the highest standards of care. With my experience and passion for pet sitting, I am confident in my ability to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your furry friends. I am presently engaged in a part-time job that allows me the flexibility to work remotely, which means that my schedule is quite adaptable. Consequently, I will have an abundance of time available to devote to the care and attention of your pets, ensuring they receive the best possible care during your absence. I live in a quiet area away from busy roads, surrounded by nature. Our back garden has a fence all around, so it's safe for animals. We've turned a small room in the garden into a cozy space for dogs, with plenty of spots for them to sleep.

“It was nice to know our ‘kids’ were being well looked after. Coming home was a dream! The house was perfect, and the pets were so happy! Their routine was maintained, and they just loved on us when we walked in and gave Jon a cuddle before he left too. It was very clear that he cared for them. We would deffo recommend.”

“Tim was brilliant with Lily who can be difficult sometimes. She instantly took to him. His education and experience working with dogs is evident as he really knows his stuff. Tim came for a visit a few days before house sitting and instantly put me at ease and left me feeling confident that he was the right man to care for our dog and house. We came back to happy dog and a lovely clean house, even the bedding had been washed! I would highly recommend Tim to anybody looking for a dog sitter.”
