About: I’ve always loved dogs and over the years have cared for many, big and small, ranging from chihuahuas to old English mastiffs. I know how worrying it can be if you have commitments to meet where you need to leave your dog at home by themselves for several hours and you can’t find any help. I’m hoping to meet some new doggy friends who I can care for and ensure that they don’t feel left alone or forgotten about. After all, they are family members, not just pets! I’m based in Middleton One Row and I’m happy to take pups for walks in the Darlington & Yarm area as well as doing home visits and daycare for small-medium breeds. I’m happy to consider boarding for smaller pups who would get on with my boys (a pug and 2 chihuahuas) but I’ve left that option unchecked for now. I’ve just left my job and I’m taking some time away from full time work to train from home in a different field. Due to this, I have a lot of availability at the moment. If coming to me, I have a little fenced garden for puppy toilet and there are some lovely walks for us in the local area. In other people’s homes, I can let your dogs out for the loo, play with their toys with them and feed/give treats as directed - I’ll never give them anything to eat that’s not had the green light from you beforehand. I’m not a snooper and I don’t have any interest in looking around your house, so please don’t worry about that - I’m just here for the dogs! I have a calm, warm, friendly demeanour and I’ll do whatever I can to make sure that your dog feels comfortable and safe when I’ve been trusted to look after them.

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.

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: With extensive experience caring for my sister's dogs, Apollo and Bec, I understand what it takes to be a dedicated pet sitter. From daily walks and playtime to attentive care, I've developed the skills needed to keep pets happy and healthy. I'll bring this same level of devoted attention and enthusiasm to caring for your beloved pet. I'm available most days to provide dedicated attention to your pet, including walks and interactive playtime with their favourite toys. I believe in giving pets my full attention, ensuring they receive plenty of affection and cuddles to keep them happy and content throughout our time together. Your dog will have a wonderful time playing in our fully fenced garden. For added security, the garden gate is always kept locked, and I provide constant supervision during outdoor playtime. While our friendly dog Apollo shares the space, he typically keeps to himself, ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for your pet.

About: I have grown up around dogs. I’ve had four of my own, training them as puppies and nursing 3 of them through their senior years. My home is a two minute walk to the river and is right next to a forest, set in the centre of a golf course, far from busy traffic, meaning your pet will have lots of safe and exciting walks. This is the perfect place for pets! I am an artist who works from home so will have lots of time to play with your pup. I love walking around my local area and your Good Boys and Girls will love it too. I have lawned front garden (un-fenced) and a large fully enclosed rear courtyard. I have one friendly, playful little dog to keep your pet company.

“This family are incredible. I would leave my dog Bailey with them anytime. She loves going to spend time with them. Highly recommend!!!”

About: I am a retired lady who is completely mad about dogs of all shapes and sizes. I find it really hard to walk past a dog without acknowledging it. They are such wonderful creatures. I have fostered many dogs for a local rescue centre and am a member of the RSPCA and have helped with various aspects of volunteering work involving dogs and dog welfare. I have a large house with a totally secure back garden. Doggy guests can sleep upstairs or downstairs according to their owner's preference. Daily walks on the beach or through local countryside guaranteed. Let me pamper your pooch while you are away!

“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!”

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.

“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 was great! She was excellent at dealing with our dog Zeus he is a large dog with extra needs, Ellie dealt great with this. We will definitely be using again and would certainly recommend.”

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.

About: I've had dogs all my adult life a border collie till he was 18yrs old a jack Russell who was also 18yrs old. I have a jack/chowawa and I look after family and friends pets and they are happy to leave their pets with me and suggested I did it professionally as I love animals and can give them the home from home vibe.plenty of walks fresh water and cuddles .. I work for 3hours cleaning on a morning from 6am till 9am do not work Wednesdays or weekends my dog goes most places with me. I have a totally enclosed back garden and my living room door leads straight into it. I have my own extremely friendly loving jack/chowawa which gets on with other dogs. My dog is wormed/flea treated..and used to family pets and friends pet staying and he likes the presence of other friendly dogs.

About: Huge dog lover and have plenty of experience being around dogs. I have previously had two large family dogs and love all dogs big and small! I have experience with caring for older dogs too and dealt with administering medication and providing oral care. I currently work shift patterns and am looking for a way to spend my spare time taking care of people’s pets and giving plenty of ear scratches! I love walking, and have experience walking other peoples dog. Ensuring they are well looked after and get plenty of fresh air and a good run round! I currently work shift patterns and usually get 4 days off at a time allowing me to be flexible with my rest days. I live a quite life and am looking for a way to spend my spare time being surrounded by furry friends and giving the best care! I live in a semi detached house with my partner (also a big dog lover!) with a fenced small garden allowing room to play with pets. I consider myself a reliable and responsible person who would ensure any pet is looked after with great care. I have lived with dogs for over 15 years and have had plenty of experience walking them (especially big dogs).

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: In regards to dog walking I've gained plenty of experience from taking my friends labrador out on little trips every now and then as shes not got the time to take him out as much anymore. Whether that be a trip to the woods or the beach or even round the block. A big reason why I've decided to start this is down to getting some much needed exercise as its only when I'm accompanied by mans best friend that I ever do any 😂 guess they just bring out a different side of me. When it comes to taking care of dogs either just on a walk or at a home I feel like I've got the right experience for whatever the situation as I've had the pleasure of raising a couple of lurchers from puppies with my ex to also looking after our old terrier before he sadly passed away after many happy years. Overall dogs have just been such a big part of my life as they always know how to cheer me up and I'll do anything to make them feel just as loved as they have for me. I'm currently working 8am till 4pm Monday to Friday so my evenings are free aswell as my entire weekend for anyone that needs someone to check up on the pets thats working late or over the weekend etc. No matter the animal I treat them as if they were my own and with the upmost care! Any specific requirements will be met to fit your pets needs.

About: I’m very active and love walking. My girlfriend is also on rover so it’s something we both enjoy doing. My Dalmatian loves play days but can also stay with my girlfriend if this is an issue I can do hybrid working when required. I don’t work weekends at all. My girlfriend is also free during the day so we can help each other if needed I have a fenced garden and a backyard. I’ve got a very friendly Dalmatian that loves play dates. Wouldn’t ever need to leave the dog by themselves
