Pet Sitting County Durham

“Ella was amazing with my cat 🐈 she informed me about the visit, sent me pictures and advised me my cat's mood. There was no need to remain duties, she understood everything. I will book future visits with her.”

“Amazing communication, and such a friendly and caring persona, highly recommend!! Couldn’t thank Emma enough for how she cared for our fur babies!!”

“went away for a few nights so Louise popped in morning and night to check on our two fur babies for us! She came over and met them both before hand just so they got used to her! During her visits she kept us updated by sending us photos and letting us know how they were getting on! Will definitely be using her again for future holidays 🤍”

About: A bit about me 🫶🏼 Hi! I’m Sophie but you can all call me Soph, I am a dedicated and trustworthy pet sitter with a genuine love for animals. I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life, growing up and into adulthood with both cats and dogs. I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can rely on and trust to look after your fur babies🐾 I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet will feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority, and I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own. I offer plenty of cuddles, attention, and affection from our very first hello to the final goodbye. I work from home, which means I’m flexible and able to adapt to you and your pet’s needs. I can work from the comfort of your home, helping your pet stay relaxed and content in a familiar environment while you’re away. As I work remotely, access to reliable WiFi is essential during house sits. I have experience with a wide range of animals, from kittens and puppies to adult cats and dogs, as well as reptiles of all shapes and sizes. With me the tiniest of babies to largest they are all welcome. I believe every animal deserves love, patience, and attentive care and that’s exactly what I provide. I also have experience caring for dogs with a wide range of needs, including those with allergies who require close attention to diet, exercise, and overall routine. I’m confident managing feeding plans and ensuring everything is tailored to keep them comfortable and healthy. I’ve also cared for senior dogs who need a gentler approach, including slower paced walks, support with stairs, and extra patience and understanding especially for those experiencing incontinence, where regular toilet breaks are never an issue. I’m experienced in administering oral medication safely and calmly, and I always take the time to make pets feel at ease. Whether it’s providing attentive care or simply giving plenty of belly rubs and affection, I’m dedicated to ensuring every dog feels happy, supported, and well looked after. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply companionship, I tailor my care to suit each pet’s unique personality and routine. Meet & Greets 🐾 Meet and greets are an important first step for you, your pet, and myself to ensure we’re the right fit for each other. Our initial meet will last around 15–20 minutes, giving us time to discuss your pet’s routine, needs, and preferences so I can provide the highest standard of care. It’s also a great opportunity for me to learn about your pet’s personality, likes, and quirks helping us build a positive and comfortable bond from the start. Most importantly, it allows your pet to meet me at their own pace, have a good sniff, and feel relaxed and confident in my presence. You are your pet’s best friend, and I promise to be a close second🫶🏼 I work from home Monday to Friday, which gives me the flexibility to work from anywhere with a reliable WiFi connection. This allows me to be fully present and attentive to your pet throughout the day. I’m an early riser, so morning walks and toilet breaks are never an issue, and my schedule easily accommodates both morning and evening walks. Working from home also means plenty of time for play, companionship, and, of course, lots of cuddles🐾 I also have a secure, fenced garden—perfect for safe outdoor play and fresh air. I’m ideally located near woodland areas, offering great opportunities for longer, enriching walks in nature. If your pet is crate-trained or requires crating, I have the space to accommodate this, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable when resting or left alone. Please note that my home does have stairs, so if your pet prefers to sleep upstairs or on the bed, they would need to be comfortable using stairs or be okay with being carried. When in pet sitting in someone else home I ensure your house is treated as thought it is my own. I will ensure your house is clean and tidy on your return and throughout my stay. Your pet is my priority so ensuring they feel safe and content is vital. When out on walks unless confirmed by yourself during our initial meet and greet, your pet is kept leaded and with me at all times. I from experience know trust is very important so I am happy to do a few sessions ahead of my stay with your fur baby to ensure you and your pet feel safe and happy.

“Rosie was really reliable, sweet and perfect for our needy pup. She kept me up to date on everything, especially when kept on her toes!! Will 100% book with her again.”

Jennifer A.

“Kayleigh obviously connected immediately with my cat, Monty and gave me complete peace of mind. From the photos and messages she sent it was clear that Monty didn’t miss me at all! I will certainly be requesting Kayleigh again next time I go away.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I've had the joy of owning dogs for the past 17 years, most recently my beloved dog, Bonnie, who sadly passed away at the age of 16. Caring for Bonnie gave me years of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of dogs' individual personalities, needs, and routines. While I miss her every day, I'd love the opportunity to spend time caring for other people's pets. Over the years, I've regularly looked after dogs and cats for family and friends, caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Whether it's energetic walks, playtime, feeding, sticking to their usual routine, or simply providing companionship and cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I am reliable, patient, caring, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether you need a dog walker, pet sitter, or someone to pop in for visits, I'd be delighted to help and look forward to meeting you and your furry family members. I'm currently working full-time, so my availability is as follows: * **Monday & Tuesday:** Available after **6:00 pm** for evening walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting. * **Friday:** I finish work at **3:30 pm** and am available from **4:00 pm** onwards. * **Weekends:** I'm available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, making me flexible for walks, drop-in visits, or overnight pet sitting. I'm happy to discuss your pet's needs and will always do my best to accommodate your schedule where possible. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a pet owner's home, I follow their usual routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication needs (if required), and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel relaxed while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for. I am happy to care for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, and I always adapt my approach to suit each individual pet's needs.

“Jatuporn took amazing care of my cats while I was away. She’s super trustworthy, communicative, and kind. I came home to two very happy kitties. She kept me updated the whole time with pictures as well. Truly great service! I’d definitely book her again! Thank you Jafuporn! :)”

“Great checking in on ducky through the week ducky seemed to really enjoy the drop in from him and the photos I got throughout were great to show ducky was happy”

“I was hesitant to use rover as my cats are my world & wasn’t keen on a stranger looking after them. Jamie was amazing start to finish. He came by before our booking & instantly put us at ease. His laid back presence was a hit with my cats who usually don’t let strangers anywhere near them. We got picture updates which I was very grateful for & could see he got along with them just fine. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you for your service Jamie your awesome :)”

“Ella is very reliable, communicative, and diligent. She took time to bond with my cat, and followed all instructions for her care dutifully. Her reports were detailed and reassuring, and allowed me to relax. She’s just the type of person you want looking after your pet! Thanks Ella! 🙂🙏🏼”

Paul K.

“Lucy was absolutely brilliant. She went above and beyond in making sure our very fussy, very anxious cats were looked after and supported, and they absolutely loved her - she paid careful attention to all instructions and followed them to the letter, checked in with me frequently about food and toilet habits, and was utterly diligent in ensuring everything was exactly the way it needed to be. We know who to ask to catsit next time we go away! Thanks so much Lucy, you are absolutely fantastic ❤️”

About: For three years, I worked in a kennels and cattery where I learned how to properly handle dogs on lead. I’m adept at reading their body language and bonding with them easily. I can also administer medication when necessary and recognise when a dog is unwell or needs medical attention. I have just moved to the area and would like to get to know the area a bit more. I miss working with animals so much. I have alot of free time. I care for pets in their own home by maintaining their routine — feeding, walking, cleaning up, giving medication if needed, and providing plenty of love — while keeping your home safe and secure.

“Rachael and Aaron did an excellent job looking after our kitten, and took some adorable photos of him. Came home to a nice tidy flat and a happy kitten, would definitely recommend and would rebook :)”

Rachael C.

“Great check in for Susie, she was well looked after!”

About: I had a cocker spaniel until recently but unfortunately she had to be rehomed. I love dogs and grew up with them. I live alone in a nice estate surrounded by great dog walks. I work full time Monday -Friday but weekends and evenings are free and I have some Mondays and Fridays off. I can also work from home during the week so weekdays for daycare are also a possibility. Enclosed back garden and your dog would have full use of my house, or whatever rules you want in place. I’m a dog lover and I would love to have the company of your pet. I have some Mondays and Fridays off. I generally work 8-4pm Monday - Friday but I can work from home and my evenings and weekends are free. I have a rear enclosed garden with a 6ft high fence, grass and paved area with plenty of plants and greenery. It’s not a huge garden but enough for your pet to have a little run around. I would want the dog to be happy and in my company with plenty of walks, cuddles, sitting beside me etc.

“Very friendly and efficient communication. Lovely photos and videos shared during visit. All of my concerns were listened to and accommodated and the visit went smoothly.”

Holly C.

“So glad I discovered Kelly. My cat, Barry, and I instantly bonded with her. I got some lovely and amusing updates, with some great photos. I think Barry took a real shine to her & was subsequently quite disappointed to see me walk through the door upon my return. Kelly was happy to stay over her allotted time to make sure Barry had everything he needed. Communication has been great. Really happy with the service provided. I have already rebooked Kelly & have no issues in using her again if required in the future…..I know Barry will be delighted 😀”

About: I have an 8 year old working Labrador, so I’ve got experience in keeping active dogs happy and stimulated. I love tailoring walks to suit each dog’s age, energy, and personality. This may include long walks, a game of fetch, or a slow stroll with plenty of sniff breaks. I’m currently studying at university with free days each week and I really miss my own dog while I’m away from home. Caring for other people’s dogs is the perfect way to spend that time doing something I love and getting outdoors. I offer dog walking and pet visits at the owner’s home, following their instructions and maintaining their dog’s usual routine and training to keep things comfortable and consistent for the pet.

“Nicole did an amazing job looking after my two cats, sending plenty of photos and playing with them to keep them entertained while I was away, will definitely book again!”
