Cat Sitting Gateshead

About: I grew up in a house with a lot of pets and have always loved spending time with, nurturing and caring for animals. Friends and family have relied on me to care for their pets, including puppies and older dogs, large and small I'm self employed so have a lot of time and energy to help you care for your pets and keep them active and healthy. I can provide walking or pet-sitting services during weekdays on a very flexible basis to best suit your schedule I have a safe and spacious flat in central Newcastle where I can care for cats and smaller dogs, but which might not be suitable for larger dogs. I can provide pet-sitting services at your home in this instance, if required

“Would absolutely book Jemma to drop-in and look after my cat again. She is reliable, sent lots of pics and even helped out with post and parcels when I was away. Thank you!”

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals, mostly dogs, having run my own pet care and mess cleaning service a few years ago (Furry Friends Cleanup Crew). I am very comfortable with dogs, cats and other animals of all sizes and temperaments. Having said this, it’s still important that I meet your furry companions before a sit to give them a chance to know me and so they’re more comfortable during our time together. I’m lucky enough to have a flexible work from home role so pet care works very well with my lifestyle. As long as you are happy for me to bring my laptop along I am able to house/pet sit as long as you need. I have my own car and a clean driving license. At my home I have plenty of room and a high walled garden, so plenty of safety and space. I make sure to give dogs as many bathroom breaks as they need when sitting, wether that means taking them for frequent walks or simply letting them out in the garden if that is the preference.

“Thank you Sophie for stepping in last minute to give puppy Lottie some company while I was at work Really appreciate you making the time to come and meet us all last night too to put our minds at rest and to see what she'd need on the day! Very caring and a natural around animals!”

About: I have previous experience as a dog walker and cat sitter. I have grown up with multiple animals in the home and trained my family dog to pass his therapy dog exams last year. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to entertain your pets! I am also on a very flexible schedule so can adapt if your pets have any special requirements or if I am needed to be there for constant care. I have two cats in my own home so I am unable to house pets in my house as I don’t want to cause them or your own pet any undue stress!

“We booked Anastasiia in for a brief sitting before she looks after Finn for 3 weeks. She’s polite and efficient in her responses to all queries. Finn loved her and we feel really comfortable having her watch over him (and the house) while we’re away.”

About: I am a trustworthy and reliable student who adores animals and would love to help someone out. I have plenty of experience looking after a range of animals for my neighbours. I am currently in university and have a part time job but I am not in all day everyday and can be flexible to your needs. I will always share my availability of that week with you for full clarity! Learn their personality so I don’t push boundaries they aren’t comfortable with, I aim to do this initially through communication with owners about needs, expectations etc.

About: I'm a caring, reliable pet lover with experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I've cared for energetic puppies, gentle senior dogs, nervous dogs who need extra patience and reassurance, and cats with their own unique routines. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to get to know their needs, whether that's a relaxed walk, plenty of playtime, or simply providing calm companionship. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away, giving you complete peace of mind. Im currently a university student, so have lots of free time as my course is very independent based! I love seeing my regular pups on a daily basis, it fits perfectly into my routine and keeps me busy. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I'm caring for them in my home or yours, I make sure they have a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can feel relaxed. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, to help them feel settled. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, patience, and care while keeping you updated for complete peace of mind.

About: I grew up in a 3 cat household and have always been a cat lover. All of ours lived to be around 18/19 years old and lived very full and loving lives. In my adult life I have cared for friends/family cats when they have been away on holiday and enjoy the interactions with cats in general.

About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs, including my own Shih Tzu, so I understand their needs and personalities deeply. I’m gentle, patient, and great with both playful pups and senior dogs. I focus on comfort, trust, and keeping each dog happy, safe, and loved—just like they deserve. I work part-time on weekends from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m., so I’m free most afternoons and weekdays to walk, play, and care for dogs. Spending time with them fits easily into my routine—it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to every day! I treat every dog as if they were my own. In a pet owner’s home, I follow their routine carefully—feeding, walking, and playtime just as instructed. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, keeping their space clean and cozy while giving them plenty of attention and affection.

“Used Louise to look after our elderly cat. We were hesitant at first, as he has never been looked after by anyone else before. But Louise kept us reassured through the whole process, sending us updates and pictures. Would highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with all kinds of animals, training young ones and tending to injuries or ongoing needs. From terriers and spaniels to farm felines and couch cats, and most inbetween. I don't have my own at home now, and have been boarding or walking for friends to fill the fluff shaped gap. Keen to share my space more often and give a safe spot to play and rest while owners are away, or just for walkies and check ins. I'm fair and fun with dogs, love to make their brain and nose work with hide & seek games. Cats are royalty and so entitled to their own agenda; no pressure from me to make fast friends unless they want to play or come for cuddles. I'm in and around most of the day, taking time work on some passion projects at home. Often find myself in the park or a cafe, boarders very welcome to accompany me! One evening per week I work out of the house for 2-4 hours, which can be worked around. I've worked in support for many years, and see sitting quite the same! If visiting their home, first off cover the basics of food, water, access to outside and play. Keeping the environment safe and clean, noticing signs of distress and adapting to what they need as much as possible. At home, there's comfy places to curl up and space to play. The kitchen is ideal for a quiet area to eat and decompress if they need it, with managed access to the yard. I have a fenced yard with a shrubby boarder for toilet and run around time. Some access to neighbours' lawn.

About: Hi! My name is Em and I am a vet based in Newcastle. I would be very happy to look after your beloved pet! I have an extensive amount of experience with dogs and cats and can give them the best quality care. Please get in contact! Thursday evening to Sunday evening my availability is open. I can accommodate weekly bookings. From Monday to Thursday I work full time as a vet! My house is completely dog proof! If I would be staying in your home, I would keep the place as I found it. I respect other peoples privacy and belongings. Any particular requests will be listened to and I am happy to accomodate any special needs for your dog!

About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter who’s a little pet deprived! I’m from the USA but currently studying for my Masters in Newcastle, and I miss my dog and cat terribly. Alongside having pets of my own, I’ve also completed house sitting jobs where I’ve cared for dogs by feeding them, letting them out and playing with them while also caring after the home. I’m responsible, tidy and happy to follow your pets routine to keep things as normal as possible I’m currently working on writing my dissertation which I luckily can do from anywhere! All I need is wifi so my schedule is super flexible. I have a small studio for pets to roam around but I also live very close to parks and plenty of trails to take walks.

About: With over a decade of experience starting from the age of 10, I have honed my skills in providing exceptional care for dogs of all breeds and sizes (from Cockapoos & Chihuahua’s to Japanese Akitas & Newfoundland’s!). What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my deep passion for animal welfare, personalised approach, and attention to detail. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the love, exercise, and companionship they need while you're away. My early start in dog sitting has given me a wealth of knowledge and a genuine understanding of dogs' needs, making me a reliable and trusted choice for pet owners. I’ve currently got plenty of spare time within the next month, at which I point I will be working Part-Time Monday-Friday. I will be available every evening & weekend and only at work for a few hours during the day! When caring for pets in their owner's home, I prioritise creating a safe and comfortable environment for them. I conduct a thorough assessment of the home to identify and mitigate any potential hazards, such as securing loose wires, removing harmful plants, and ensuring access to clean water and safe, designated areas for play and rest. I adhere to the pet's regular routine, including feeding, exercise, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. My attentive approach ensures that pets not only feel secure but also remain healthy and happy while their owners are away.

I am used to a safe home environment (fenced) however I can accommodate with the use of a lead if needed.

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.
