About: I’m a dog mom to a Siberian Husky mix, and I’ve been caring for dogs since 2015. Over the years, I’ve raised and trained both puppies and rescue dogs, volunteered with animal shelters and rescue groups, and fostered dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs, and I treat each one with the same love, patience, and respect I give my own.

I can provide regular walks, playtime, and attention based on each dog’s routine and needs. I follow your pet’s routine, keep things tidy, and give them lots of love and attention. I want them to feel safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away.

About: I am a 36 year old hospitality consultant living and working in County Durham. I live with my fiance and our dog, a 4 year old corgi named Ibra. She is super friendly and trusting! We all love to spend time with animals and are confident in our abilities to take care of pets no matter their size, age or needs. I feel so lucky to be able to meet and look after other dogs in my spare time - and it’s great for Ibra to socialise! We loves walks in the forest close to our house and have a secure back garden, plus plenty of space indoors! We look forward to meeting you :) I work full time but arrange my schedule so that I have busy weeks and then free days off in blocks! My availability is always up to date in the app, but it’s difficult to say how things ‘usually’ are, as the free time could be mornings, evenings, weekdays, weekends etc! I live in a ground floor apartment surrounded by lots of green spots and close to the botanical gardens. The building had a roof terrace which is rarely used - so it’s perfect to take some water, snacks and toys up there and let the dogs off the leash! It’s is perfectly safe, and surrounded by a complete glass barrier. I’m lucky to currently be able to choose when I work and i am enjoying having a relaxing spring! My calendar will always be updated and I wouldn’t put myself as available if I could be distracted by anything work related. I live on a quiet estate in a house with a nice garden, and we have a nice amount of space indoors too. There are plenty of walking opportunities close by, cycle paths and forest walks etc.

Tegan looked after my little springer and poodle whilst I was away. She was amazing and my little pooches enjoyed there walks with her. She updated me regularly whilst I was away with photos and videos. I would definitely book her again and hope she will continue to do future walks with them. Thanks Tegan xxxx
She was absolutely fabulous with my reactive rescue! Took time to understand Lucy and build trust with her. Followed our instructions in handling Lucy when she got stressed. Also very accommodative with short notice requests. Would definitely be booking her again and can't recommend her enough!
