“Kayleigh came to look after my 2 dogs for the day in a holiday home we were staying in for the weekend. She come earlier than needed to make sure that she had all the information needed for the dogs and any other information that she would need. She also took them out for a walk as well! They seemed super contempt and chilled when I got back in the evening, and Kayleigh updated me throughout the day putting me at ease! Thankyou Kayleigh!xx”

“Maisie did a great job dogsitting for the second time for our now ten-month-old puppy and he loves having her over to look after him. He is very excited when she arrives but she quickly settles him down. She is very relaxed with him and he is obviously very comfortable with her. We have already booked her again.”

“We used Ellie to look after our two dogs when we came to Northumberland for a family wedding. At the last minute our accommodation was cancelled and Ellie adapted brilliantly to the changes that resulted. Our dogs had a great day and we felt really happy with Ellie and the reliable service she provided.”

About: I have grown up rurally and have owned or cared for in the past cats, and looked after dogs. I have provided dog walking and company for elderly dogs. I currently don’t have pets and miss the company, so I have set up this new account. I’m looking forward to meeting your dog. :) I work from home flexibly. So any in home care for your pets I will be available all day every day during the week for company. I also walk three times a day and will be happy to adjust my routine to suit pets and personalise their care. I will be available for company all day for your pets. I do not drink alcohol and am a quiet person spending time at home, or in nature. Your pet will have a relaxed time with me with a lot of attention.

“Had a trial night with Craig house sitting at our home overnight with our cocker spaniel before he does a longer stay later this year while we go abroad to get married! It has put me at so much ease knowing my boy will be left in good hands without any change to his regular routine. Thank you for helping take that stress away x”

“Emily came over and stayed in our house whilst I went away for a few nights, she made sure Winnie’s routine was the same and kept me posted with walks, pictures and just reassurance that Winnie was okay. Honestly couldn’t recommend enough!”

“Ben looked after our dogs in our home whilst we had a 5 day break in Barcelona..he was nothing short of incredible! He came and met Bobby & Oscar a week before so he could meet the boys before the sit. The boys took to him straight away and we knew immediately we had made the right choice. He came v early and left v late due to our flight times and made sure they were looked after the whole time. He also sent constant pictures whilst we were away to put our mind at ease. I couldn’t recommend him enough for anyone that wants their dogs taken care of. We will be using him again soon in the near future. Thank you Ben 🥰”

“Elizabeth looked after my 9 year old Lab for the weekend and I arrived home to a happy, chilled dog. I received photos from when she first arrived and also of Archie on his walks (one very long one which he would have loved!). I would recommend Elizabeth and definitely book her again.”

“Thank you so much Emma! You looked after our 3 girls perfectly. I loved the attention to detail you took to get everything right. The way our dogs were chill, happy and looked after when we arrived home says they had a beautiful time. You treat our home with respect and it was spotless and tidy for our return. I couldn’t recommend you enough, thank you.”

“Louise has been absolutely BRILLIANT! Louise took such good care of my elderly Dog Padraigh, taking him on some lovely walks and sending me loads of updates and lovely photos of Padraigh, one of which I'm going to get framed. It was so good for Padraigh to be looked after in the comfort of his own home. Highly recommend Louise.”

“João is a fantastic dog sitter! I can't recommend him any more than I have in previous reviews, but he is careful, thoughtful and very reliable”

About: Hi, I'm Claire, the owner of Hound & Hike, a professional dog walking and pet sitting service based in Hexham. After more than 18 years as a police officer, I chose to follow my passion for caring for animals by creating a business dedicated to providing reliable, compassionate and trustworthy care for your pets. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I've spent years caring for a wide variety of breeds, ages and personalities. From energetic working breeds and playful puppies to senior dogs, blind dogs and those needing medication or extra support, I understand that every dog is unique and deserves care tailored to their individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys adventurous countryside walks, relaxed local strolls, or simply companionship and reassurance while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy and loved every step of the way. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them the patience, kindness and attention they deserve. My policing career has equipped me with qualities that are invaluable in pet care: reliability, responsibility, excellent communication, attention to detail and the ability to remain calm and confident in any situation. As a trusted key holder, you can have complete peace of mind knowing your home and your pet are in safe hands. At Hound & Hike, your dog's safety, wellbeing and happiness are always my highest priorities. You'll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your best friend is enjoying their day. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your dog and become someone you can trust to care for them whenever you need. From 03/08, Hound & Hike is my full time role - offering dog walks and pet sitting predominantly Monday-Friday, but also occasional weekends. Please enquire 🙂 I am a trusted key holder, with safety and security being a priority - as well as giving your dog lots of love, care & attention (and treats if permitted!) I am DBS Checked, Dog First Aid trained and have a Diploma in Pet Sitting & Dog Walking and a Diploma in Canine Communication to further enhance my skills.

“Charlotte looked after my dogs while I went away. She kept me updated on how they were getting on. I would definitely have Charlotte look my dogs again. Thank you”

“Laylee has been amazing From coming to meet the dogs before hand, to staying at ours with the three of them Felt at ease with her from our first meeting and the dogs loved her Laylee turned up the day before to run through everything and then was there before we left Laylee sent messages, updates and amazing photos of them all every day. Followed all our instructions and did some training work with Vinny who’s needed a little help She stayed until I arrived back home Nothing was too much for her I can see the dogs were chilled when I arrived home and loved her being here Hope they don’t miss her too much as she has definitely spoilt them ☺️ Thank you Laylee”

“What an absolute treat! Jeanette was amazing with our two energetic pupsters! They were extremely looked after, we had no worries at all. They've had lots of fun, and we had photo updates! Not only were the dogs very well looked after, so was the house! Jeanette even hoovered before we came home. We would highly recommend Jeanette to everyone else. Jeanette, it was an absolute pleasure having you here for our dogs, they loved you!”
