House Sitting County Durham

“Lucy was fabulous. Unfortunately I was let down by another sitter 2 days before I was due to go away. Lucy was flexible despite being last minute and she took amazing care of my property and my animals. You could really tell that my dogs felt safe with her. Thank you Lucy.”

“Ella was very good at communicating and keeping us updated. She took great care with our pets and home while we were away. We would highly recommend her and definitely book her again.”

“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”

“Sophie was amazing, using Rover for the first time & not having ever left my 2 border terriers overnight at home before was something I’d wanted to do for ages but hadn’t been able to pluck up the courage ! Sophie was so thoughtful, easing my worries about my nervous border by taking time to come & meet them before the house sit which was invaluable. On the day, her calm professional approach resulted in her building a relationship with my nervous border which I am so grateful for & is really beneficial for the future. Thank you so much Sophie I now feel relaxed about planning the next house sit & am looking forward to leaving my dogs in safe hands again”

“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.”

“Thank you Jamie and Elise again watching my dog for a few hours first time away from him this year due to health. It’s been a while but my dog remembered both of you’s and went super hyper zoomie happy with kisses to see you both again. Thank you so much.”

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.

“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!”

Alicia G.

“Jeanette is an amazing fairy dogmother! Jeanette looked after our two very boisterous dogs for a week and they love her, as do we! We would highly recommend Jeanette. Our house wS hoovered and spotless when we came back from our holidays, and more importantly the dogs were well taken care of and happy!”

“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.”

“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”

Megan B.

“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.”

Susan P.

“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.

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.

“Nicole looked after our puppy as we transitioned back to work & she did an excellent job. We arranged a meeting with Nicole before the agreed date & she put us both at ease with her natural care & confidence. On the day, Nicole sent us updates/photo’s of our pup and when we returned he was so calm. We will be regularly using Nicole’s services & we’re so lucky we managed to find a reliable & caring sitter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

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

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:)

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.
