House Sitting in County Durham

“It was a big deal for us to leave Flash for 3 nights,even though he had already met Jamie a couple of times. But Jamie arrived before we left to go through things and we had regular updates from him all the time we were away. We arrived home to a happy settled dog who wasn't even bothered that we'd been away.”

“Avery was very kind popping by to meet us beforehand and as a first time user of Rover was very reassuring. During the visit Avery as great not sending many messages as knew I was busy but reassuring me just enough. Once home I could tell the lengthy instructions I’d given had been noted and most importantly Audrey was all well and good! Have already booked Avery again x”

“Ashley arrived promptly and looked after Toby in our home for around 5 hours while we attended a graduation ceremony. He sent a couple of pics and text updates on how Toby was doing. Toby has just been castrated so we didn't want to leave him alone with a cone on. Ashley petted Toby and got him off to sleep. The whole job went very well, especially as it was our first time with Ashley. We only booked on Saturday for yesterday (Tuesday). Thank you very much Ashley - I'm sure we'll be in touch again. Karen”

“Boo has been dog sitting for me for the last three years when I am away with work and for holidays. Nicki has unlimited cuddles, a daily walk and is like one of the family. Couldn’t recommend enough.”

“Katherine stepped in at very short notice to look after our 8 year old Dalmatian Bobby by staying in our house for a week so he could stay in his own surroundings. Katherine was spot on. She went for a couple of walks with my wife and Bob before the stay to get to know both us and Bob. Katherine kept in touch via text while we were away and we had no concerns at all. When we came back we found both Bob and the house had been very well looked after. Katherine is very trustworthy and a lovely lady also with great communication skills and would recommend her for both pet sitting in your own home or in Katherines. She is clearly a dog lover and probably all things with 4 legs as well and would recommend her any day of the week.”

“Andrea is so friendly and reliable and made me feel at ease when leaving my nervous cocker spaniel while we went on holiday. Great communication- thank you so much! X”

“Everything was amazing couldn’t thank her enough! Was given plenty of photos to see how they all got on was outstanding!”

“Kate is our go to person when we need a dog sitter. Kate is reliable, patient and so caring to our dogs. We feel so grateful to have someone we can rely on to look after our dogs.”

“Chloe was a life saver and stepped in at the very last minute. She looked after Digger for 6 hours and sent us lots of lovely photos and videos so we could see how he was settling. Thanks Chloe.”

“Chloe was great with our two dogs! One of them has got quite a few stitches and she kept them calm and well looked after while we were gone. They both looked very settled from photos and seemed to have loved their time with her! She also accepted our booking quite last minute which is really appreciated! Definitely would recommend for anyone looking ?”

“Izzy has lived with dogs for most of her life and absolutely adores them. She has extensive experience of handling, caring for and exercising our own family dogs. She is a bit of a dog whisperer- all dogs seem to love her. Izzy is extremely reliable and responsible, very organised and will not let you down. You can count on her to arrive at your home on time, talk to and love your dogs, exercise them as required, ensure they are fed and watered and to be alert to any health issues. Your dogs will be in fun, safe, caring hands and they won’t want her to leave.”

“Tim is an honest, reliable, and caring person. He is wonderful with animals. We trust him explicitly with our dog when we have gone on holiday. He has taken our dog for walks in a lovely area next to where he lives. I would trust Tim to look after our home when we would go on holiday. He keeps his home lovely, clean and warm. Totally trustworthy and caring”

“Bruno loved his time with Kelsey and we cannot rate her highly enough. She is so attentive and treatvl our home with the utmost respect. We are hoping to continue walks from time to time and are hoping she can look after Bruno again for our next trip.”

“Kara was great with my Dog Chanel . Would book Kara again to house sit Chanel . Highly recommend Sandy King”

“Emma was absolutely lovely with our puppy and with keeping us updated. She even did a couple little chores for us round the house which was so appreciated. Great sitter!”

About: I’ve had dogs for my whole life , I’ve taken care of my friends and families cats too. I have 3 cockapoos at the moment and raised puppies . I’m currently home from uni for the summer - additionally for spring and autumn too. I have lots of free time and I’d love to spend some time with animals and to help me relax from a stressful time at uni . I feed , walk , and take my dogs to vets when needed . They’re very fit and healthy and lovable dogs that get lots of love and cuddles . I hope that other animals that I meet will enjoy my company like my dogs do :)

“Craige can be relied upon to give your dogs lots of play and attention. Would recommend. He looked after my two (one a bit of of a juvenile handful) and won him over very quickly.”

“Madison is lovely, she agreed on short notice which I really appreciated. She was prompt and Sephi really seems to like her. I got updates through out the day with pictures and she did some training with Sephi which I’m grateful for as she’s still a puppy. I will definitely book with her to look after my little fur baby again!”

About: I've had and looked after all manner of pets including dogs of varying sizes and breeds and cats. I got most of my experience looking after dogs after taking care of breeds like Newfoundland's and even small Yorkshire terriers so I understand exactly what's required for both large and smaller breeds. I've had 2 cats in the past as well. Overall, I can say I have a good background of looking after numerous types of pets over various timeframes so rest assured I can offer a great pet sitting service. Currently I work part time which gives me plenty of time through the week to take on new pets when required. I'm able to make time (with enough notice) to accommodate new animals in my schedule. I can accommodate pets in my home as long as it isn't overnight. The house is relatively big with a front side and rear garden. The gardens are currently not in use as some work is needed but the interior of the house has enough space to play and interact, depending on the pet. I'm also able to look after any pets in their home surroundings if necessary and can do so for extended periods if required.

“Millie has looked after my dog on a number of occasions. Despite my dog being quite antisocial she seemed to warm to Millie quicker than anyone else. I now always check if Millie is available if I need someone to look after my dog.”
