“Louise came to visit us before offering to sit for our Cocker Spaniel in our home. This was greatly appreciated as we are a little out of area. She was laid back and clearly experienced in this role which reassured us. We are more than happy for her to look after him in the future.”

“Thanks to Craig! Pets were all well fed and cared for and are all really happy :)”

About: My pet care journey is driven by a genuine love and understanding of dogs. Having recently graduated, I’m currently based at home where I live with my six dogs, including two puppies I’ve trained myself. This environment allows me to stay actively involved in dog care and training on a daily basis. While I’ve been less active on Rover recently, I’ve continued to care for a number of regular clients, maintaining consistent experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I particularly enjoy working with more anxious dogs, helping them feel comfortable, secure and settled in my care. My background also includes working at a doggy daycare centre, where I developed confidence handling multiple dogs at once and adapting to different personalities and energy levels. My key strengths include puppy training, building trust with nervous dogs, and providing consistent, personalised care. I take the time to understand each dog’s individual needs and routines, ensuring they feel safe, happy and well looked after at all times. As a Master’s student (with a background in Zoology at Newcastle University), I balance my studies alongside a flexible part-time job and my passion for pet care. This means I have the time, organisation, and reliability to give your pets the attention they deserve. I regularly update my calendar to ensure I’m fully available and never overbooked, so there’s always plenty of time for walks, play, cuddles, and making sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for. Balancing university, work, and pet care has helped me develop strong time management and commitment, meaning your furry friends will always receive consistent, attentive, and loving care every day. Safety, trust, and a welcoming environment are my top priorities in pet care. At home, I have a secure fenced garden perfect for safe play. When walking dogs, I always keep them on a lead to ensure their safety. In pet owners' homes, I treat the space with utmost respect, leaving it tidy and ensuring pets feel comfortable and loved. Whether at my place or yours, I provide a secure, caring, and fun environment for your furry friends.

About: Hi there! My name is João, I came from Brazil to do my PhD research a few months ago and, since then, has been working as pet sitting in Newcastle. I had to leave my two cats under my friend's care during the period I am here (sadly but also thankfully), so I sincerely can relate with the need of having someone responsable, trustful and experience to look after our littles. I have experience taking care of dogs and cats here, as well as of pets for family and friends in Brazil, including dogs, cats, hamsters and bunnies, which I consider positive experiences in developing a sense of how to provide assistance in different situations regarding sitter them. For me, aside from doing an extra money to support my period of study here, it will be a genuine pleasure to spend time with your pets and give them all the love I keep with me for my cats, and I will make sure to take care of your pets with the same attention I would like mine to be cared, ensuring they will be safe, respected and catered to all needs. As I have flexible times at university my schedule is always free. I am available all day every day of week so we can previously arrange the activities you need to be provided (including home visits, house sitting, walk in neighbourhood, take or pick from home to somewhere, or others). But as each pet has their own personality, before I can look after your pets I will need to know as much as possible about them, like routine, diet, any allergies, medicines, behaviour alone and with other animals, in and out of home, activities that they enjoy etc. If you feel that I can help you caring your pet please send me a message so we can chat about how I can help.
