House Sitting County Durham

“Lucy was absolutely brilliant! She took such good care of Monty, took the time to meet him and learn about his routine beforehand, and followed my instructions to a tee. Lucy kept me updated throughout with photos and videos, and I felt relieved going away knowing that Monty had been left in such good hands! I would absolutely recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! Thank you :)”

“Debs and Dave are two of the nicest people you could ever meet. From the moment they first came to (meet and greet) us I knew my fur babies were in safe hands. With regular photos and videos of the 3 cats obviously enjoying themselves, my home was looked after and respected too. We can’t wait for them to come back!! See you soon many thanks and lots of purrs from us all xx”

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and a genuine love for their wellbeing. I currently own a 4-year-old dog, so I’m very familiar with the daily responsibilities that come with dog ownership, including feeding, walking, training, playtime, and providing a safe, loving environment. Prior to having my own dog, I regularly looked after three dogs belonging to close family friends. This involved long-term and repeat care, allowing me to gain experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. Through this, I developed a strong understanding of how important consistency, patience, and attention are when caring for dogs. I’m confident handling dogs of varying temperaments and ages, ensuring they feel comfortable, exercised, and well cared for at all times. I treat every dog as if they were my own and take pride in providing reliable, attentive, and loving care. I am currently studying for an English and History degree, which involves only six contact hours per week. This means I have a very flexible schedule and am available for dog care throughout the day. I have only a small number of compulsory commitments, allowing me to give dogs plenty of time, attention, and consistent care. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I always respect the owner’s home and ensure pets are safe, settled, and well cared for at all times. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether that means energetic walks, calm companionship, or extra reassurance. My priority is to provide reliable, loving care so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“5 stars. Can't say enough good things about Jatuporn. My dog is big, young, and nervous...not easy! But TJ was very patient and understanding with her, accommodating Jo Jo's sensitivity to get her trust. She quickly found the way to Jo Jo's heart by throwing the football with her (endlessly). And they made progress in trust while I was away. She kept me informed via text throughout my trip so I was never worried. I would recommend her without hesitation to other dog owners who need someone to take care of their dog while they are away.”

“Sophie looked after Monty and Lily amazingly, they instantly took to her at the first meet and greet. Sophie was calm and gentle in her approach with them and was keen to hear all about them and their specific needs. It was the first time leaving Monty and Lily with a non family member therefore I was quite anxious, however Sophie put me at ease and was very understanding. I received photos and updates during my time away which helped massively. I would highly recommend d Sophie and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”

“Lovely couple, kept in contact so I knew Bella was behaving and being looked after. We’re building up to a week for August and they were both so reassuring.”

“Shane went above and beyond when he sat for Obie. I would not hesitate in recommending him. Obie was very happy with Shane and I would not hesitate to book him again.”

“What can I say about the wonderful Craig. Absolutely rescued us by looking after our two dogs during our wedding. One dog is particularly difficult as he has epilepsy, so there’s always the fear of seizures and vet’s trip. Craig accepted to help us when others wouldn’t and we’re so grateful he did. The boys were so well looked after and so happy when we seen them. Craig knew we wanted them to be at the wedding so tried to get some pics in bow ties for us, bought us a wedding card and even helped us to carry some stuff in when we returned. Honestly I can’t praise or thank him enough. Definitely he using Craig again ❤️❤️”

“Bailey was a brilliant dog sitter. He was on time for the booking and our dogs instantly liked him. He was very respectful of our home and the dogs were incredibly calm, one suffers with separation anxiety, so was expecting the opposite!😂 He sent an update of them both sleeping and made us feel at ease! Would definitely book dog sitting with Bailey again!”

“Alison and her partner were so lovely with regualar updates and they really took Care of Benjamin and Alba, plenty of walks and lots of cuddle time. Highly recommend them.”

“Amanda had great communication before the sit, she arrived early in order to chat about the dogs & their routine. Regular contact & messages during the sit. My dogs were obviously very settled with Amanda and I was happy with how she treated and managed the dogs and also her care & respect for my home. Would recommend and I look forward to seeing Amanda again.”

“Anna was great, Turned up on time and did a great job with Gus, he absolutely loved her. Will definitely be booking her again.”

Mark S.

“Nicole is really lovely and clearly loves animals, I would recommend her to anyone 🙂 we felt really chilled out on our weekend away knowing that she was looking after our dogs. I will definitely book her again in future, thank you again!”

Holly J.

“I don’t know where to even begin to say how special this lady is! From first meeting her I knew she was the perfect person to look after her furbaby. We’re never without our boy so the thought of leaving for a week made me stomach churn but Jeanette reassured us the whole time. Once we left we had updates, photos and videos of our baby having the best time. She just understood him and his personality instantly and gave him the exact love and attention we hoped for. Bruce was settled, content and not one bit anxious with Jeanette. Jeanette being as she is and knowing our boy was immediately settled made it so much easier to relax on holiday and I genuinely didn’t worry about him once! I can’t recommend her enough, same way I can’t begin to thank her enough for what’s she done!”

About: Very excited to meet your pup, I have grown up with my own dogs and I have a fur baby of my own. I love energetic dogs that like to go on big walks, but also those who prefer a cuddle and play indoors. I have looked after friends and families dogs and cats for periods of time when they have been away. I currently work part time as cabin crew, so when I am not flying I have lots of flexible time to look after your dog from early mornings to evenings. With free time on my days off I can take your pup on long or short walks, depending on your preference, for toilet breaks and lots of play time. I have lots of walks and nature reserves near me for on/off lead work. I am happy to work around your dogs needs and toilet breaks.

About: I have a year of hands-on pet care experience, and caring for dogs has been part of my life for years — my family used to run a German Shepherd dog farm. This taught me discipline, confidence, and how to understand dogs’ behaviour. I’m kind, reliable, and I treat every pet like my own, including pets that need extra attention such as senior dogs. In terms of availability, I work from home on Fridays, so I can fully commit to pet sitting that day, as well as weekends. I’m also happy to do evening walks during the week. When caring for pets in my home or the owner’s home, I prioritise safety, routine, and comfort. I follow the owner’s instructions closely (feeding, walks, playtime) and keep the environment secure by checking doors/gates and removing anything unsafe. During walks, I use safe handling and avoid risky situations. I’m calm, attentive, and happy to give regular updates with photos for reassurance.

About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds, growing up with large breeds from being a young age has made me confident with dogs of all temperaments and backgrounds. Being a registered veterinary nurse, I have worked with dogs of all life stages and can provide the essential care they need tailored to them. I work weekdays, but can provide late night check ins for short walks or feeding. I am also available for weekend visits at all times to provide any and all daily requirements I always ensure pets are kept safe, making sure they are kept in a fenced area away from other dogs and people. When on walks they stay close to my side and away from any roads

“Paris was absolutely amazing! I was given regular updates every day, I felt really relieved knowing Monty was being looked after so well, and I’d recommend Paris’s services to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable and caring. Paris came to meet Monty before the sit and really took the time to understand his routine, and my home was immaculate when I came back. It was clear Monty had the time of his life while I was away! Thank you, Paris! :) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have always had a strong love for pets. I’ve had a cat since I was young and have helped with caring for my family dog for the past six years, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like feeding, walking, and giving lots of attention. I’ve also helped look after pets for family members, which has given me experience with different types of animals and personalities. I’m reliable, gentle, and always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy while in my care. I am currently a student at Durham university so have all summer to play and care for your animals:) I have lots of experience with walking and playing outside. Beaches and big fields are my favourite I am flexible and can take pets to my house with a lovely field near by for them to play in. Or I can come to you and help that way:)
