Pet Sitting Corbridge

“Our cat Moana is a rescue and is very nervous. Maisie seemed to make friends with her very easily and sent us some lovely pictures from each days visit. We trusted her from our initial meeting and will certainly have her again. Pat & Val”

“Ellie’s first visit with Luna was perfect. She sent us photos, gave updates and most of all Luna had a lovely time with her. I’m certain Luna is looking forward to Ellie visiting again 🥰”

“Kayleigh was excellent. She responded very quickly to messages and was very reliable. Ginger was well cared for and enjoyed his cuddles. He was not at all stressed upon our return and was obviously at ease with Kayleigh, who left everything tip-top!”

About: My whole life I have been surrounded by dogs both big and small. I have grew up with boxers in the family since I was 2 months old, and my mum has had her own dog boarding which was extremely popular. All dogs are treated as part of the family and are took on multiple walks per day, from national trust days out, beach’s adventures , and mountain walks. My mother was also a guide dog puppy trainer, which was truly a fabulous experience. I have just finished university so I have all the time in the world. I sometimes work a Saturday night in town, but my partner (who is a massive dog lover) would be home. I have a garden which is fenced and has a stone wall. Although I live next to a busy road, your dog will never be in the garden unsupervised, and will always be on a lead when walking anywhere unless in a rented field that is 100% secure.

About: I absolutely love dogs, but being a uni student I don’t get to meet all that many! I’ve had my own dog for 8 years now, a Miniature Schnauzer called Pip! I also work for a dog food company, purely so I can meet new dogs, it’s great fun. I’m easy going, flexible and can work around you and your dog, don’t be afraid to get in touch if you have any other questions! I’m currently at university, with relatively low contact hours I can be extremely flexible in terms of availability. So any time that works for you will most likely work for me! Every dog (and their owner) is different, all I need is a short list of do’s and don’ts (e.g no going on the sofa, no treats after dinner etc). If I am house sitting then I will treat your house like the library, all I need is my laptop and won’t make a fuss! If we are out walking, I have some great dog walks around Sheffield with varying lengths that you (and your dog) can choose from!

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.

“Thanks to Craig! Pets were all well fed and cared for and are all really happy :)”

About: I’m a veterinary student with hands-on experience caring for animals of different ages, sizes and temperaments. I have done a range of volunteering/placement at different shelters and organisations. I’m confident handling energetic dogs as well as older pets who may need extra patience and attention. Through my studies and personal experience, I understand animal behaviour, health and safety, and husbandry. I always aim to make pets feel comfortable, cared for and happy while their owners are away. I’m reliable, communicative and genuinely love spending time with animals. I am in my summer holidays of uni with few other commitments so have plenty of time to look after and play with your pets! I enjoy keeping dogs physically and mentally stimulated with games, enrichment activities and exploring local parks and new walking routes. I always adapt to each dog’s energy levels and routine so they feel comfortable and happy.

About: I grew up with dogs, but since moving out of the family home and establishing life in Newcastle I miss having a furry companion! I am often trusted with looking after family / friends dogs and I live in a great area for walking them. I work full time but a lot of it is from home, and my partner gets in usually around 3pm. He has grown up with lurchers and is an avid dog lover like me. There will be plenty of time for walks and would only accept bookings where the dog will be cared for the best we can with our schedule. It is my partner and I in a flat with no pets. Whilst we don’t have a garden we have green spaces on our doorstep for regular ‘business’ trips. We live in close proximity to great parks such as Havannah, Woolsington, Weetslade, Big waters etc. Your dog would be part of the family, from coming on walks to chilling on the sofa (if allowed by you).

“Tracey looked after my dog Pablo and did such a great job! super friendly, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. Pablo absolutely adored her. I got regular updates and photos, and he looked so happy and relaxed the whole time. It’s such a relief knowing he was in safe hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again 🐶💛”

“Sam did a brilliant job with my cat Reuben! She was really communicative with me while I was away over the weekend and she really took the time to bond with Reuben and make sure he was alright! It gave me real peace of mind whilst I was away that Reuben was in good hands”

“Thank you Sophie for stepping in last minute to give puppy Lottie some company while I was at work Really appreciate you making the time to come and meet us all last night too to put our minds at rest and to see what she'd need on the day! Very caring and a natural around animals!”

About: I’ve owned dogs from the age of 6, both small and large, alongside other animals🐾 I love all animals tiny or giant! I often pet sit for friends, family and colleagues often. I work for a mental health charity full time, Monday to Friday 9am-5pm, but enjoy spending my free time going on walks and spending time with my english pointer Ellie who has endless amounts of energy. I would like to put my passion for animals to good use by helping out other pet parents when I can! I’m flexible and understand that every pet is unique and have their own quirks. I’m also open to extra long walks as a girl who loves to get her steps in! I’m available after 5pm on a weekday (Monday-Friday) but sometimes this is flexible! I am also available for early morning 6-7am on a weekday (Monday-Friday) but sometimes this is flexible also! On a weekend I am available at ANY time! I mainly offer drop-in visits, dog walks, and occasional in-home stays, allowing pets to stay comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. I don’t host pets in my own home, as I have a dog and want to avoid causing them any stress by introducing unfamiliar animals into their space. As a true animal lover, I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick visit, a walk, or a longer stay, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, playtime, and any special care requirements. During visits, I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and companionship—not just the basics. I’m attentive to their behaviour and wellbeing, and I always aim to make each visit calm, positive, and reassuring. I respect your home and keep everything clean, tidy, and secure. Trust and safety are very important to me, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

“Absolutely amazing he visited our dogs really last min. With no problems. Didn’t bat eye when I said our house was building site 🤣🤣”

About: I’ve had a variety of dogs growing up who I have loved, walked, fed and played with. I have had lots of experience of dog-sitting, boarding and walking through Rover with dogs of all ages and sizes when I was at university. Now working as a registered nurse and would love to continue looking after gorgeous pups :) I work as a registered A&E nurse but have multiple days a week off where I am able to take care of you and your dogs needs! I have a lovely fenced back garden which has grass and I live near a large field and a nice area perfect for taking your dog on a walk. I offer a friendly loving household which is suited to the needs of all dogs.

“Emily was fantastic! She looked after our cat while we were out of town for a week and we are so grateful for the care and attention Emily gave to her. Emily was extremely responsive, professional, and communicative. Best of all, she sent lots of great pictures!”

About: Hi there! My name is João, I came from Brazil to do my PhD research a few months ago and, since then, has been working as pet sitting in Newcastle. I had to leave my two cats under my friend's care during the period I am here (sadly but also thankfully), so I sincerely can relate with the need of having someone responsable, trustful and experience to look after our littles. I have experience taking care of dogs and cats here, as well as of pets for family and friends in Brazil, including dogs, cats, hamsters and bunnies, which I consider positive experiences in developing a sense of how to provide assistance in different situations regarding sitter them. For me, aside from doing an extra money to support my period of study here, it will be a genuine pleasure to spend time with your pets and give them all the love I keep with me for my cats, and I will make sure to take care of your pets with the same attention I would like mine to be cared, ensuring they will be safe, respected and catered to all needs. As I have flexible times at university my schedule is always free. I am available all day every day of week so we can previously arrange the activities you need to be provided (including home visits, house sitting, walk in neighbourhood, take or pick from home to somewhere, or others). But as each pet has their own personality, before I can look after your pets I will need to know as much as possible about them, like routine, diet, any allergies, medicines, behaviour alone and with other animals, in and out of home, activities that they enjoy etc. If you feel that I can help you caring your pet please send me a message so we can chat about how I can help.
