Cat Sitting in Darlington

“Ceri looked after our cat Reggie while we were on holiday. She was great and really cared for Reggie. Letting us know each day how he was doing and sending us pictures, would not hesitate to use her again.”

About: I have hands-on experience walking dogs of all ages — from playful one-year-old pups to wise and gentle 12-year-old seniors. Friends and family often trust me to care for their beloved pets, and the longest stretch was a two-week stay looking after four furry companions under one roof while their owners were away on holiday. From quick toilet breaks to long, peaceful walks along the river, I’m happy to adapt to each dog’s needs and energy. I currently work from 8 AM to 5 PM, so my early mornings (6 AM to 7 AM) and evenings are available to care for your beloved pet. In the mornings, I’m available for quick visits—whether it’s a short potty break, feeding, or checking in to make sure everything is alright. In the evenings, I can offer longer visits with time for an unhurried walk, playtime, or just keeping your pet company. Overnight stays are also possible with prior arrangement. I understand how important consistency and companionship are for pets, and I’m here to help keep them happy and comfortable while you're away. While I’m not able to bring your furry friend to my home, I’ll gladly look after them in the familiar surroundings of yours. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, litter cleaning or just quiet company — your pet will be cared for lovingly and attentively while you're away, right where they feel most safe and relaxed.

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life but unfortunately can’t have one of my own at this present time so would love to spend my free time helping out families and looking after their furry loved ones. I only work 3/4 days a week therefore find myself with a lot of free time and would love to help families out who live a busier life. I work every other Saturday, therefore my Saturday off I would be able to look after your loved one Sat-Mon if need be if you were wanting to go for a long weekend away. I have a fenced back garden in which the dog would be able to go outside if need be, however if has no grass therefore I also own a car in which I could take the dog out for long walks during the day and keep them entertained.

“Rosie looked after my two cats while I was away for two weeks. I received daily photos and updates which was really reassuring! She was kind and professional from the start and I felt at ease knowing they were being cared for by Rosie. Highly recommended!”

“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’ve always had dogs whilst growing up and love looking after them, walking them and playing with them, I’ve been around all kinds of dogs, with friends and family since I can remember so feel very confident around any dog! I’m currently working full time in hospitality, so can be flexible, my shift patterns do change from week to week but I can try my best to accommodate for any specific needs! Having three dogs and a cat at my family home, I am experienced in knowing how to care for/ when to feed dogs, and am very comfortable in my experience to know I could look after anyone’s dog.

“Guste has been amazing. I went with the right person to check in on my two cats when I went away. She is very friendly, followed instructions perfectly, she went above and beyond and even hoovered and cleaned up more than I would ever ask her to. My painfully shy cat let Guste stroke her, she normally hides and only comes out after a sitter has left. Guste’s reports were lovely and detailed. I felt reassured that my girls have been well looked after. I could not recommend highly enough, I will happily book her again. Thank you so much!!”

“Ellie has been an absolute delight looking after my two cats, the updates i received each visit showed a lovely care and attention. I seriously hope Ellie will be available next time I have to be away, and I'm sure my cats do too. 10 out of 10.”

About: Having grown up surrounded by my own dogs and family friend's I have ample experience loving, caring and dog-sitting for many different pets with their own individual needs. I have experience with caring for and walking multiple dogs at once and I'm able to cater for dogs both younger or more active, with longer more frequent and exciting walks as well as those who may be older or require quieter care or extra TLC. Additionally, I of course have a LIFETIME of experience of loving pets and animals of all breeds, sizes and personalities! I'm a university student who is home for the summer until late September/early October. I'm available for the majority of weekdays and weekends during this time and I'm very flexible, willing to work around you and your pet's schedule! When walking your pet I always make sure I'm in a pet-safe area and that if your pet enjoys off-lead time this is in a safe and enclosed environment. With pet-sitting I'm sure to maintain pet-safe areas and making sure I'm following a schedule which is inclusive of their needs and well-being.

“Abigail was fantastic with my two cats, trustworthy and punctual and kept me updated with messages and photos during each visit. The cats both love her and we all look forward to, hopefully, seeing her again in the future. I would highly reccommend Abigail to others.”

About: I grew up in the countryside in a family with dogs and cats and also chickens, ducks, sheep and even a pony, so I am very comfortable around all animals and have had both dogs and cats in my own family over the years. I do love both and do understand and enjoy the difference between them. I believe they all have their own identity and personality and it is up to us to encourage them to feel they can express themselves in a fulfilling way both for themselves and their owners and carers to enjoy. I have taken care of dogs and cats from puppies and kittens, through maternity and on to end of life care so have wide experience of caring for them through all stages of their life, from early exercise, socialising and training to simply spending quiet time together providing close comfort and companionship. I am currently free to devote all of my time to caring for our furry friends. I am very flexible and reliable, planning and hoping to make pet care a major part of my life from now on. I have a large Victorian terraced house with plenty of space and a safe walled rear courtyard for fresh air. I will only board one pet at a time so your pet will get all the attention and space he or she needs.

About: Hi! My names Emily, and I’m currently a dog trainer looking to work with more types and temperaments of dogs. I have two years of training experience and recently qualified as an APDT-registered ATI, as well as lifetime experience caring for my own dogs. Whether you need someone to walk your dog, someone to give guidance around training, or someone who knows how to provide appropriate and stimulating enrichment for your dog - I’m sure I’ll be a great choice to meet you and your dog’s needs! I am currently in a period of unemployment between leaving my former job and starting my new one, so I am pretty much flexible - aside from when I have my own (senior) puppy out on his walks! I have a UK driving license and so can get to your home easily and without fuss. I am an APDT registered ATI, so I have qualifications proving that I can and will put your dog’s best interests at heart. I will follow whatever guidelines you would like in place to make things as easy as possible for your dog to assimilate, but I do require a short meeting with yourself and the dog first to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible.

“Karolina was amazing all the way. Her helpfulness to get us out of a sticky situation to providing plenty of information about timing, for when we could drop him off. She was amazing at keeping our cat Dave active and entertained. My partner was delighted to receive plenty of pictures and videos of our happy cat playing and being swamped with attention”

About: I (Emily) have been a dog Walker / sitter for over 16 years, looking after every sort of dog, I love them all! My husband (Sam) and I have done home boarding on and off over the years but we recently lost our beautiful dog Lola, heartbroken and with a very quiet house we would love to start home boarding again. Your dog would bring us so much comfort and be absolutely spoilt rotten! My husband works from home full time and I am a dog Walker so your dog gets the best of both worlds, if they prefer to stay at home they will have the company of my husband and if they love their walks I can take them to work with me. Whether we are taking care of your pet in our home or yours, their safety is always our main priority. We will want to know as much about your pet as possible so we can give them the best care, making sure they will always be safe and happy.

“Jack and Abby looked after our cat. They were fantastic. Our cat is an indoor cat and hasn't been around dogs before but Callie was great with ginge. Although our cat hid away Jack Abby did all they could to make him feel comfortable. We got pictures and a video of his stay. We will definitely use Jack and Abby again. Thanks guys.”

About: I have been around pets my entire life and have had my own pets, dogs, cats and hamsters. I enjoy spending time with animals and looking after them. I have recently relocated to Darlington, my husband is retiring from the Army after a full career and I am looking to look after pets full time. I have a fenced garden as we have our own dog, Bailey, a 3 years old Labrador. He is friendly and is welll socialised with other dogs. I would be taking the dogs out on walks as that is my routine with our own dog. I will only have one other families dogs up to a maximum of 2 dogs at any time.

About: I have taken care of dogs varying in age from puppies to senior dogs. I have trained puppies to walk on lead correctly without pulling. I am trained to be able to communicate with animals (dogs especially) and have undergone various training days to be able to provide the best experience for my clients and their four legged friends. I am a professional dog walker so pet care fits very easily into my routine as it’s what I’m used to doing 24/7. I can adjust to peoples schedule and am always available to message I offer pet sitting services in the clients home only- this is purely because I find that animals are more relaxed and feel safer in their own environment which they are used to.

“Lauren has been such a find! Having never used pet services before, it’s a bit worrying handing your keys over to a stranger and having them look after your pets. Lauren made me feel at ease from the start. I’ve had photo and text updates on the status of my pet, which has been reassuring. She has also been very accommodating. My life, at present, is a little chaotic and she has been very patient with me, changing dates, last minute requests etc. I’m really delighted with the service she has offered and will definitely use her again in the future.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for the past 18 months for many of my family and friends. I have previous experience working in a vets and also have owned many pets myself. I can care for your more senior friends with the care and adoration they require and after having a senior pup myself I know that they may need some extra love and attention! Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and play with their beloved friends and I would be honoured to do the same for you! I’m currently working part time so have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available 7 days a week with the exception of 4pm-8pm Monday-Wednesday. I will try to stick to your usual routine as much as possible while staying with your pets. I would also be happy to crate your pet if you require.

About: Hello! I am Evie and I'm twenty years old. I have recently got a cockapoo called Otis, he is very friendly and loves long walks! I am happy to walk dogs of all sizes and nature, whether they be nervous, or overly excited, I can also bring Otis to play with the dogs if you're happy or I can walk them solo. I am able to walk dogs on leads or let them off too enjoy the outdoors, again, whatever you are comfortable with. If your dog requires long walks I am more than happy to take them for a few hours, I am happy to fulfil any steps/measures needed before or after walks to make sure the dogs and you are happy!
