“Julie, is a really lovely lady. She is very caring and loving with my dog Sully. He has been going to Julie for daycare for almost 3 months now. He always comes back very happy and content. Sully, is always kept active with 2 walks a day and Julie, keeps me posted with pictures and video updates, regularly. I would highly recommend Julie to anyone.”


“Alla has been amazing with our dog for daycare for the last couple of weeks. We get great of updates of how he is doing along with amazing photos/videos throughout the day. Alla has also been incredibly flexible to work around our schedule, along with picking him up/dropping him off. I would highly recommend for daycare!”


“I can’t thank these guys enough. They helped me at short notice, provided excellent communication, were super welcoming, and massively kind. Dexter loved being around them and they showed total care for him. Their house, with fenced back garden, is perfect. They are conveniently located near excellent transport links. I’d highly recommend them. I’d definitely use them again.”


“Stellar and adaptable dog day care when our holiday plans somewhat changed and transport was limited. Yuen’s and her family’s support for our plans and loving care for our special dog at short-notice were above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. We definitely recommend Yuen to anyone needing dog day care, and will seek her services on our future visits to the area.”


“Erin was fantastic in her care for Riley, he settled in nicely and felt right at home getting along well with Mabel. Erin kept in touch throughout the day letting me know how everything was going, I will be using Erin again in the future whenever possible and would recommend her to others. :)”


“Evangelia had fantastic communication, replying very swiftly to agree to my short-notice request for doggy day care. She looked after our young cockapoo really well and clearly enjoyed having him. I would gladly ask her to help us out again and, judging by his wags, I'm sure Harvey would too! ?”


“Anna and her partner Alex were fabulous, Scout had a great time with them! Scout is a high energy pup and they were great with him. Very understanding of his bad puppy habits and offered great insight and support working with me, am 100% a return customer, thanks again!”


About: I have been around dogs since I was 11 years old when we got our first family dog. I have my own dog Bowie who is 7 years old, who has epilepsy. So I am experienced in administering medication to dogs. I have looked after a variety of ages of dogs, from puppies to senior dogs & have experience on training puppies. I work from home 4 days a week, so I am at home all the time to look after my own and other dogs. On my days off, I do longer walks around country parks & to the beach. I have a fully secured garden at my home to allow them free roam in the house & garden. There is plenty of space for a crate, if your dog prefers staying in a crate or space in the bedroom if your dog requires sleeping in the same room as myself. There will also be my dog Bowie at home all the time to keep your fur baby company!

“Maxi is quite a challenging dog with the separation anxiety that he has but Sophie was brilliant with Maxi, we felt instantly at ease upon meeting Sophie that Maxi was in safe hands, updates were very informative and always for ours and Maxi's benefit. Would highly recommend Sophie to anyone looking for a dog sitter/boarding.”


“Kateryna took good care of Mabel☺️ She took all of the details about Mabel’s food and walks etc and was very quick at responding to messages and updating me about how Mabel was doing.”


About: Was dog mum to my beautiful German Shepherd and fiesty Jack Russell for 12 years and sadly lost them both to old age. Moved home in 2023 with my partner Andy and rather than getting my own pooch we have been helping out family and friends and thought it would be great to extend that to help more people. I never allowed my dogs to go into kennels, I couldn't stand the thought and I know how hard it is to find someone to leave your dogs with. I have experience with big and small dogs aswell as looking after two at the same time. I would not allow multiple bookings and only look after your dog/dogs during that time. I am full time home worker Monday- Friday 9 - 5.30. I have great walks and countryside right on the door step. I also have a 1 hour lunch so plenty of time to get good run out mid day as long as not too hot. I have a three bedroom house and yard so plenty space indoors. Have yard outside with high wall and secure fence. I live close to amazing outdoor places such as Tanfield Way, Derwent Walk and County Durham countryside.

“Amazing carer, great atmosphere for our Evie who had a great time! It was her first time in a doggy day care and it all went so smoothly. Will be our dog sitter from now on! Thank you so much Kyriakos!”


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.

“Very happy with the care that Michaela and Dave have offered our beagle, Phoebe. Lovely couple who clearly offer a high level of care and want to build a lasting relationship. We will definitely be using again.”


“Sophie is a lovely girl who looked after our dog with very little notice. She was very friendly and I would book her again. Olly was very relaxed and happy. Definitely recommend Sophie to anyone who is in the area and needing a dog sitter/ walker.”


“Jane has been great with milo! He adjusted really quickly to her home and her family, I can see how happy he is with her and how excited he gets to go back in the morning. I’m at peace knowing milo is in great hands and he’s getting the best care in the world 🥰”


“Danny was the perfect sitter for my dog. She suffers with separation anxiety, barks when scared and needs daily medication. Danny took all of this in his stride, caring for her so well. He sent me videos and photos which helped me know she had settled well with him and was happy. He was happy to feed her her raw food and was very gentle and kind with her. I'd highly recommend Danny, 5 stars !”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats ever since I was born, in total I’ve looked after 3 sausage dogs, a foxhound and a cat called Lucy! I take them on walks, bathe them and give them lots of cuddles I’m currently working part time as a Researcher for Northumbria Police and I work from home (except for Thursdays). My usual shift patterns are 11-3 Monday to Friday (Tues -12:30-16:30). So I have a lot of spare time to look after your furry friends! I have a relatively large front and back garden and I’m happy to take them on walks every couple of hours as I love going on walks for fresh air. I also live 10 minutes away from chase park so happy to let them roam there for a couple of hours to get some fresh air! I don’t mind if they have an accident in the house, which animal doesn’t from time to time! My house is big enough for any type of dog to roam and play and we always make sure the house is clean and nothing that could cause injury is out

About: There’s never been a time in my life where i have not lived without pets. I grew up in a household that was pet crazy with many different pets from hamsters to horses. I have been brought up around very big dog breeds, and also small dog breeds. I moved out from my parents when i was 18 and went on to get my own two large breed dogs and four cats. The house i currently live in is very big and used to be two flats, so conveniently the house can be sectioned off into two still, meaning if your pet doesn’t want to be around mine, that is easily done. I am self employed and work when i like to, so i can fit around and requests that you need for me to take care of your pets:) I can offer many different types of services for your fur babies, whether this be taking them out for multiple walks, having a good play of tug of war with them, letting them play with my pets (completely up to you) or even bathing/ washing them. If your pet has and dietary needs or medication they need, i’m very responsible to take care of that.

“Amazing carer, great atmosphere for our Evie who had a great time! It was her first time in a doggy day care and it all went so smoothly. Will be our dog sitter from now on! Thank you so much Kyriakos!”


Milena I.
“Milena has always come first in my mind when I needed someone to take care of my dog Rudy and spend some time with him. She is absolutely lovely and caring not only with the dogs’ routine and what makes them happy but also with their hygiene, diet and health. She is very responsible when it comes to specific food routines and diets or even prescriptions that dogs may need. She would also always make sure Rudy’s paws and face were clean after walks to make sure that nothing harmful has been stuck to his fur. Rudy has always been a bit difficult with walks as he has anxiety, at first I was worried Milena would find it hard to control him and make sure he is alright outside, however she has worked so nicely with Rudy that he now seems a lot more confident when we take him for walks… I have recommended Milena as a dog carer and walker to many of my friends and none of them have ever been disappointed. Her experience with a variety of dog behaviours is shown on her determination to never give up making them happy!”
