House Sitting in County Durham

“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.”

“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.”

“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’ve cared for animals my entire life, looking after pets for family, friends, and neighbors. Over the years, I've gained valuable experience administering oral medication, handling rescues, and reading unique pet personalities. My own experience with pets helped me develop a deep understanding of animal behaviour, ensuring every pet feels completely safe, relaxed, and comfortable in my energy. I currently work from home, which gives me a highly flexible schedule. Rest assured that your pet will have my full attention, care, and love throughout our quality time together. Safety, trust, and cleanliness are my top priorities. I maintain a high standard of organization in a tidy space, keep communication open and frequent, and treat every pet like a member of my own family. You can wholeheartedly trust that your pet will be safe, happy, and loved in my care.

“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: 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.

“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”

“JP took such wonderful care of our two dogs they both settled with her so quickly and enjoyed some beautiful walks during our stay in Durham. It was such a relief for us to know that they were being so well cared for whilst we went out during the day exploring and spending time away from them during our weekend away. We are planning to come back again in a few months and will definitely be rebooking if we bring the dogs back with us again. Thank you so much xx”

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 have grown up with dogs my whole life, caring for numerous dogs of all different types and sizes. I am finishing up my PhD in genetics, I have a passion for animals and have volunteered in multiple animal sanctuaries and I especially love taking care of dogs. I have an active lifestyle and this makes it easy for me to tire out some of the more energetic dogs. Your dog will get lots of love and everything will be done to make sure your pet has a wonderful stay. Look forward to hearing from you! :)

“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.”

“Huge thank you for treating my Bella like your own! Slightly jealous how much she loved you lol but in all seriousness, the messages, the videos and the professionalism made me the most relaxed I’ve ever been away from her. Will definitely be rebooking! So easy, ultimate care and understanding, of both of us. Lovely!”

Sarah B.

“She is truly responsible and has great skills in handling dogs! During the pre-meeting, I could already tell that she was very experienced and comfortable with dogs. ☺️ She walked our dogs and made sure they stayed happy while we were away. She is the best pet sitter! 👍”

“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.

About: I absolutely adore pets, especially dogs. I have always been surrounded by dogs between friends, family, and my own dog who sadly passed away recently. I love going on walks or just keeping dogs company at home. Pets are so important, so it’s key to look after them properly. I am moving home for the summer break from university and am looking for some extra money doing something I love. I work for a catering company so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I live with my parents and have a fenced garden. There are multiple parks within half and hour and I love going for walks! My parents both adore dogs, and I have previously looked after dogs in our home.

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 have taken care of dogs my whole life, I own a fox red lab who I absolutely adore but I don’t live with him at the moment. Happy to help out any family who needs it I love walking dogs and taking care of them. I am available for evening and over night care. I do work in the day but I need extra work and this fits perfectly, I can work weekends. I can also book in holidays for longer stays. I have a fenced garden and a big house, I live with my little sister and mum who are both friendly and kind. I would always be with the pet always giving them attention or not too much if that’s what they like! I love to see dogs happy and it helps me also get out the house. I would make sure they are eating food and report back if not.

About: With over 25 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, breeds, and ages — from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs. I’m passionate about animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, providing love, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I maintain their regular routines, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special instructions. Pets can enjoy cuddles on the sofa, sleep in my bed if allowed, or use a crate as part of their normal routine — always with plenty of attention and supervision. I work from home part-time, which gives me plenty of time to care for your beloved pets and provide companionship, enjoy walks and playtime all throughout the day. My detached home features a large, private, and secure back garden where pets can safely explore, and a calm, relaxed environment ideal for peaceful, home-from-home stays. I have a secure crate for dogs who use one, as well as all the essentials for cats, including litter boxes, scratching posts, and cosy spaces to rest. Whether it’s outdoor adventures, sofa cuddles, lap time, or quiet companionship, your pet will receive constant attention, care, and love. I also provide regular updates, photos, and messages so owners can relax knowing their pets are happy, safe, and truly cared for.
