“Emma was great, collected Harvey from our house and walked him around the local parks ensuring he was fun and safe. The photos we received showed Harvey was elated and very satisfied and I can highly recommend her for anyone’s walking need's.”


About: I have been raised around pets my entire life, and am confident in my ability to care for them. I have cared for both family and friends' pets in the past when needed, and now have my own. I currently study part time, so have plenty time to care for your pets. With summer coming up, my availability is much more flexible due to the term ending :) A pet's safety and comfort is really important to me - I always make sure to provide the care needed and make sure that their owner is confident they are being cared for.

About: Hi, my name is Julie, I love animals and before having children and a corporate career, I ran my own business from home with the time to raise a beautiful Rhodesian Ridgeback (see photos). I am now a full-time mum and since the pandemic I have been spending more time providing a second home for friends’ dogs while they are on holidays, but I do miss the walks and cuddles when they go home…this led me to Rover. I am experienced with a broad range of dog sizes, ages and temperaments, from laid back labradors to spirited spaniels, so the care I provide will be carefully tailored to you and your dog. On walks we’ll happily explore your local area together, or, with your agreement, we can jump in my car and head off into the lovely countryside we have around the North East, including National Trust sites, woodlands, beaches, nature parks and the Derwent valley. Daycare/Boarding: your dog will become a treasured member of my family while they stay, with a busy house and two kids to play with (aged 12 and 14). I often walk with friends who also have dogs and enjoy taking advantage of dog-friendly cafes/venues. Kindly bear all of this in mind when selecting these services. Please do message me with any questions 😊 I'm a full-time mum so really flexible. I can easily tailor walks into my day, based on the type and level of exercise your dog requires. My home is a spacious bungalow with a large enclosed garden. There's lots of grass which energetic guests love zooming around on and plenty of interesting trees, bushes and garden ornaments for curious noses to sniff out. On warm/dry days the patio doors stay open so there is constant access. Indoors I always set up at least one of the bigger sofas to be dog-friendly (unless you don't allow that in your own home). For overnight stays I don't allow dogs into the bedroom areas at night-time. They sleep in the open plan kitchen/diner which is over 60 square meters. I'm a light sleeper so can pick up on anything during the night, popping through as needed to ensure they are settled.

“Absolutely fantastic! Liezel and Alex were so lovely with my dog. They came exactly when they said, and walked him for longer than they needed to, and were an absolute pleasure to meet😀. Thank you so much! Would definitely recommend Liezel and Alex for dog walking!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Over the years, I’ve fostered both dogs and cats, as well as volunteered at a local animal shelter. Me and my partner have a 2,5 year-old miniature Daschund who’s playful, friendly, and well-socialised. We can provide loving, reliable care, as we’re experienced, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals. Whether it’s for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, we’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. We treat every pet like our own and always go the extra mile to keep them happy and healthy while you’re away. We’d love to meet you and your furry family member! I’m off from work until September, so I’m fully available for pet sitting, dog walking, drop ins, and overnight stays. Starting September I’ll be working full time Mon-Fri, but still available for weekend care. My partner works part time and is at home most of the week, so he can help provide excellent weekday care. With both of us home regularly, your pet will rarely be left alone and will always be in caring and capable hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We provide calm, clean, and pet friendly home where your furry family member can relax and feel secure. We will carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, routines, or special care needs. If your pet needs space or one-on-one attention, we’re happy to accommodate with separate areas and personalised care. You’ll receive regular photo updates and check-ins so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

“Andreea is just amazing with my dog Winnie. The videos and pictures that Andreea sends prove how happy she is to see Andreea and her partner and this is a great touch to the service. Andreea is so accommodating and flexible. I would definitely recommend Andreea for any pet services.”


About: Hi PAW-rents🐾, I'm Aviral, a software engineer by profession and an ardent dog lover. I stay with my wife in Newcastle and we both love pets. I have raised 5 dogs ( Pomeranian, Golden Retriever and Golden Labrador) over the course of 20 years. We don't have any kids around so don't worry if your pet is not great with children. We live in a 3BHK house and have 2 (front and rear) garden spaces that dogs can use. There is a small park right in front of our house where we can take your dogs. As a previous dog owner myself I'm aware how dog care can come in the way of people planning for trips or travelling in emergencies. I'd love to help out all pet owners by taking care of their pets as my own & I love being around pets so I have my own interest at heart too 😉 When you reach us, we would arrange a meet and greet to know you and your pet and we would also like to hear your pet's caring needs. If both you and your dog feel comfortable with us, then we would confirm the booking. During our meet and greet, we would love to know: - how many walks your dog would need in a day & how long it should be - at what time he/she likes to eat and the proportion of food - if he/she has something we should take special attention such as allergy reactions to certain food or anxious reactions to certain things. If you have any specific requirements, please feel free to let us know. We would request all pet owners to provide their pets food as we would like to stick to their primary dietary requirements. During your dogs stay, we will keep you updated with photos and videos. We can assure your pet will be healthy, happy and safe with a ton of cuddles during their stay. I have a software engineering job however with a flexible work from home culture, I will be available at home whenever a dog is staying with us. My wife is currently freelancing, so she is available at home 24*7 on all days to provide timely care and attention to your pets. We are available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends. As dog sitters, we prioritize creating a comfortable and safe environment for pets. We ensure regular walks, playtime, and adhere to any specific dietary needs. We maintain a routine to minimize stress and provide companionship, ensuring the dog feels secure. Additionally, we stay attentive to their cues, offering affection and maintaining a clean and organized space. Clear communication with the owner helps us understand and fulfill their pet's unique requirements, ensuring a tailored and loving care experience. We have fenced gardens, pet toys and a clean environment in the house to ensure safety.

About: I’ve always wanted to have a dog, but I didn’t have that kind of opportunity. So i chose a job that would bring me happiness and also can help other people. Since 17 ( 8 years) I helped my friends or neighbours to care after the dogs: walking, feeding and bathing - every kind of thing. I really love this job and I will put as many effort as I can to make my job good I’m currently self employed, so I have pretty flexible schedule. I’m available on both weekends and weekdays. But if you need me earlier we can discuss it before🤗 I had an experience of working in a pet owner’s house. My daily routine with dogs is walking, playing, and feeding. If you need I can also teach them a few commands and bring them to the vet

“Vicky is amazing! She came, picked them up ( in the pouring rain! ) took both my dogs, they were both happy to go with her. I was worried as we only really met once but they were fantastic with her! There was no issues as att alll and she came back with them and washed their paws before putting them in the house as I was out. Have to say they were shattered so they had a good walk and with Spaniels they need it!! Can’t recommend Vicky e ohh she is amazing in all aspects”


“Eduard is just amazing with my dog Winnie. The videos and pictures that he sends prove how happy she is to see Eduard and his partner and this is a great touch to the service. Eduard is so accommodating and flexible. I would definitely recommend Eduard for any pet services.”


“Annie is the perfect dog walker! She’s so lovely with my Ruby, lovely and caring, great communication with messages and photos. Will be booking again next time I need a walker. Thank you Annie!”


About: Hi! I’m a dog lover and proud owner of a sweet cockapoo puppy girl. I have two wonderful kids, ages 5 and 11, and as a family, we adore spending time with dogs. We’re friendly, caring, and love making furry friends feel at home. Your dog will be treated like part of the family with us! (I can provide my DBS check) Currently I’m working part-time and mostly remotely, so I have free time to care about pets and at the same time enjoy their company. I can take dogs for walks or for a night with us. Also cats are welcome and able to explore my home and even climb on curtains (what some of them like so much). I have a private house with a big fenced garden. Pets are allowed on furniture. My family is very friendly and we have a nice park nearby to take dogs for walks. I always tidy up after and keep my home safe and clean.

About: I have had and taken care of both cats and dogs since the age of 8 for family, friends and neighbours, walking, feeding, playing with and house sitting with animals. I am very comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes I currently am on summer break and am available every day from morning to night just drop me a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible While I do not let pets board in my own home I am always very cautious to follow any instructions given to me on where pets are and are not allowed, making sure to keep them in their designated areas.

About: What sets me apart is my commitment to personalized attention, reliability, and a deep passion for animals. Whether it’s maintaining a pet’s regular routine, or providing extra cuddles for your pets, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care is an essential part of my daily and weekly routine, structured around providing consistent, high-quality attention to every pet I care for. Whether it’s regular walks, feeding schedules and playtime, I ensure that each pet’s needs are met with reliability and care. When pets stay in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment that feels like home for them. I provide: A structured routine with regular feeding times and exercise. Plenty of exercise and enrichment through walks, and play. Companionship and supervision to ensure pets feel secure and never lonely.

About: I love dogs and I live alone, so dog boarding provides good company for me without the commitment of having my own dog as I also like to travel. I find it easy to quickly bond with dogs and like to think I am a great alternative to kennels as I can give your dog 1 on 1 attention as I mostly work from home. They will get plenty of attention in a nice, peaceful, relaxed home with no other dogs or children. 3 walks daily. I don't have a garden, just a back yard. However, there are great walking opportunities right outside my house. I work from home most days. I have a lot of flexibility within my job which makes it easy to care for a dog at the same time. One on one, just me and your dog, no loud noises, kids or other animals. Would suit a slightly anxious dog that needs a quiet, relaxing environment, as opposed to going into kennels. I only take one dog at a time, would consider two from the same family however.

About: I understand dogs all have different nature, I'm comfortable looking after high or low energy dogs. Usually I'll do 2-3 walks per day with regular toilet breaks. If you're dog is nervous towards other dogs I will ensure they are kept away on walks and can look after them 1-on-1. I will make sure your dog is comfortable and help you maintain their routine while you're away. I'll keep you informed with regular updates, photos, and videos so you can have peace of mind. Please reach out for a meet and greet. I can provide consistency and daily exercise. I am flexible and happy to tailor the day to your pet's routine, ensuring they receive the attention, care, and companionship they need. A clean and quiet environment will be maintained throughout. You can trust that I will care and respect your home, minimising any disruptions during the pet sitting period.

“Absolutely amazing! Liz is the best thing since sliced bread and I really couldn’t recommend her enough. Our Dudley can be tricky but Liz is his bff now!”


Emma A.

“Emma was great, collected Harvey from our house and walked him around the local parks ensuring he was fun and safe. The photos we received showed Harvey was elated and very satisfied and I can highly recommend her for anyone’s walking need's.”


Sophie D.
“Sophie has owned cats in the past, and she now currently is the owner of a dog. It is clear how much she genuinely cares for animals, and this is demonstrated through the care she makes sure to give to every animal. Her experience has continued to grow over the years, especially as an animal parent herself. She also cared for my dog before getting her own, and I was always confident when I left my dog Remi with her - she absolutely loved Sophie and I knew she was well cared for when I had to leave anywhere from a few hours to a couple weeks for work. Anyone who has Sophie care for their pets I'm sure would be confident that their pets were in safe hands; especially as Sophie has always made sure to keep owners updated on how their pets are with messages and photos. Even if not requested, as a pet owner herself she knows how important peace of mind is and makes sure to the best of her ability that the owner always has that when she is caring for their pet/s.”


Julie M.Star Sitter
“Julie and her family have looked after our Labrador, Bruno, many times and he has a great time when he’s there! He gets fantastic walks, lots of adventures and cuddles on the sofa. We don’t worry at all when we go away as we know he’s having a fun holiday too with loads of love and attention! He adores the whole family and lives his best life there… in fact he usually seems a bit sad to come home!! I can’t recommend Julie highly enough.”

“Michaela is a kind and warm-hearted person with a love for dogs. She is honest, trustworthy, and always goes the extra mile in anything she does. She would be an excellent doggy care provider, ensuring a safe and loving environment for those in her charge. I couldn't choose anyone better to look after my dogs.”


Milena I.
“I’ve had the chance to see how Milena cares for animals up close, and I can confidently say your pets couldn’t be in better hands. She’s not only incredibly responsible and reliable, but she genuinely loves every animal she meets—and they love her right back. Whether it’s going the extra mile on walks, keeping up with routines, or just making sure your pets feel safe and happy while you’re away, she treats every animal like her own. She’s especially great at tuning in to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, or somewhere in between.”
