Cat Sitting in Gateshead

About: I have recently finished my Animal Science degree at Newcastle University and am currently awaiting my final results. I have grown up around both dogs and cats, which has given me a genuine love for animals and confidence in caring for animals with different personalities and needs. Alongside my studies, I have been working part time at Hurworth Burn Luxury Pet Hotel, gaining hands on experience caring for dogs in a professional setting. My responsibilities include supervising walks, assisting with bathing and administering medication, monitoring behaviour and wellbeing, maintaining clean living areas and meeting each dog's individual feeding and care needs. I am confident caring for dogs of all different sizes and I pride myself on being reliable, patient, attentive and trustworthy. I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I recently finished my Animal Science degree at Newcastle University and am currently awaiting my final results, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I currently work part-time, so I am available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and weekends. I always make time to give pets plenty of attention, exercise, play, and companionship while in my care. I always prioritise making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home and during walks. Through my kennel work experience, I am confident caring for dogs and cats and following their individual routines and care needs. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise, cleanliness, and behaviour monitoring to ensure pets remain happy and healthy while their owners are away. I also understand the importance of trust, communication, and regular updates for owners after each visit or walk.

“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 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.

“Katie did a brilliant job looking after my two cats - she made the effort to bond with them , sent me lots of pics, and I came home to two happy chilled felines ! Katie is my new catsitter of choice - I can’t recommend her enough !”

“Megan came with such short notice to see to the girls and having never met before! We were scared initially since never leaving the girls for a longer period of time since adopting them or using Rover before but Megan made that disappear instantly. The engagement from the first conversation, to the consecutive visits, updates and queries about the girls, Megan made us feel so relaxed knowing they were in genuine quality care! She cleaned up small messes that the girls had made with puppy pads and somehow a plant pot with no ask, got them in the garden which they reluctantly do with us and most of all catered to their deafness. Cannot wait to rebook with Megan, so much experience and passion for what she does, couldn’t recommend more!”

“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’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.

About: Before coming to the UK, I was basically a mom of 7 dogs. Spending time with them is never tiring . Aren't they little angles ✨ I have flexibility since its summer and I have no school. Pet care just kinda slips into your day—like feeding your furry overlord when you wake up, going on poop patrol during walks, and brushing enough fur to make a second pet. Once a week, it’s spa day When I’m caring for pets—whether in my home or someone else’s—it’s all about creating a safe, cozy vibe they can trust. I pet-proof the space (no sneaky snacks or chewable cords!), stick to their routine so they feel secure, and shower them with affection

About: I adore dogs and had two family pets when living at home. Now I’m living in Low Fell I need something productive and yet still fun to do when not working or studying. I trained the dog my parents currently have and he’s a treat to be around. I have tonnes of energy and don’t mind getting dirty, so taking care of dogs in my spare time seems like a must. I love creating a friendship with a dog because it’s unlike any other. Being away from my dog has made me miss my four legged companion, so I need a dog to love while I cannot be with him. No dog is too much hassle for me, and I like a challenge. Bring them on. Well I am working in the office Monday through Friday, and weekends are free! Sometimes I work from home - but would need to be specific circumstances. I have a 2 bedroom house in Low Fell. A small back garden, but perfect! We have a cat flap but only our cats can open it, there are a lot of cats in the local area, but we do have a litter tray!
