House Sitting in Gateshead

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 was excellent, a total life-saver for us. She’s so attentive, excellent communication and very patient. Roy is not the easiest of terriers but Katie was superb with him. Would defo recommend her and we would book her again no problem.”

“Vlada was great with our old cat. She sent me news and pictures every day (and also few videos). She kept our place clean which I really appreciated. I will ask Vlada again if I need someone to take care of our cat.”

About: I’ve taken care of so many dogs I’ve lost count I love each one and will always aim for the best care possible I’ve been a dog walker a dog trainer and pet sat them at homes I’m very flexible with time all I ask is a couple days before anything is planned or cancelled but can be available most times for your pets Due to people I live with not being keen on animas I could only ever pet sit in the owners home as I have done so before I can follow instructions if they may need to be outside at certain times or crated or not allowed in certain parts of the home.

“João is a fantastic cat sitter, great to communicate with and he knows cats really well. So happy to leave our beloved Dandelion with João. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve grown up around all kinds of animals! I helped out on my uncles farm and my first “job” was volunteering in my local pet shop, I have my own baby girl Winnie (Maine coon) who is super friendly! I have also grown up with my grandparents 12 cats, 2 Gerbils, Bernese mountain dog, Great Dane cross and Newfoundland so I am accustomed to all animals big and small. I have a large fenced garden and Saltwell Park a 5 minute walk down the road. I also drive, so trips to the beach or other green spaces is a guarantee. I am a teacher so I am off every weekend and I get all school holidays off and have no foreseeable travel plans. I have a big garden and large open plan downstairs as well as a huge local park 5 minutes walk away which I visit regularly. I am generally active and playful with animals! I have a fenced garden and local park close by, I drive so can pick up/drop off and do day trips to the beach etc. My current cat is indoor only but she has full roam of the house and gets harnessed outdoor time in the garden for enrichment. I would be happy to cater for indoor or outdoor cats though and she is very comfortable with dogs having come from a mixed pet household and having met all our friends pets.

About: I’ve spent over 25 years caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior pets with medical needs, I provide patient, reliable, and loving care. Friends, neighbours, and family often trust me to walk, feed, administer medication, and provide companionship while they’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own attentive, safe, and stress-free. I’m currently self-employed with a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate quality time to your pets throughout the week. I’m available for walks, check-ins, and boarding during weekdays and most weekends. Whether it’s a quick visit or full-day care, I’ll make sure your furry friend is happy, exercised, and well looked after. I prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety as if they were my own. I provide a calm, structured environment with close supervision. Whether I care for your pet in your home, I follow your instructions closely and ensure a clean, secure space. I’m confident handling pets with medical needs, administering medication, and creating safe routines, even for anxious or senior pets.

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: 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

About: I am intuitive empath with animals and I feel like I can get to know most if not all animals! I learned to ride wild horses in Turkey just through spending time with them. I grew up with dogs, fish, birds, snake, horses, donkey, sheep (my grandpa's farm!). My house in Turkey was the central location for the stray cats in the city. I find animals simple and honest and natural, easier than humans sometimes! I am working freelance as a videographer and networking having moved to UK a few months ago to join my wife, therefore my days are adaptable and I choose (mostly) when I work and when I'm available. Most days after 11 I am available, if you need an earlier slot get in touch and we'll see if we can work it out. I can protect your animal not to fight with other animals in the street, I will keep them away from muck/gross stuff in the street. I will do a health check and report any issues to you.

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.

“What can we say about Holly?! Well, she's kind, caring, attentive, respectful of your home, very patient with your fur baby & gives a 5 star service. We were nervous at leaving our older dog with someone other than family but we shouldn't have been as Mollie was in perfect hands. Walked, fed & loved everyday as well as given her meds & massaged as our older furry lady has arthritis. Can't wait for her next visit.”

About: Cat sitting + Clinical researcher - Newcastle upon Tyne, around Newcastle upon Tyne city centre till Howdon/Wallsend, UK Cats have been a part of my life since I was 11 years old, and my love for them has only grown over the years. Since moving to Newcastle, UK, I’ve helped friends care for their cats, and in 2017, I adopted my own beloved black cat who has been my loyal companion ever since. Through my experience, I’ve encountered & managed a diverse range of cat care situations, including: ✔ Feeding difficulties & picky eaters ✔ Managing constipation & digestive issues ✔ Post-surgery aftercare & recovery support ✔ Providing comfort, cuddles & companionship Cats are more than just pets to me, they are a fundamental part of my life... As a devoted cat lover, I understand their behaviours, emotions & needs. Being a cat sitter isn’t purely a job; it’s a passion... With a genuine heart for feline care, I am committed to ensuring every cat feels safe, comfortable & well cared for in my presence. As a dedicated cat sitter, I understand that every cat has a unique personality & their comfort, health is my top priority... Some cats are independent, while others need extra attention & reassurance - especially when faced with a new person. I take the time to build trust, ensuring each cat feels relaxed & at ease in my care. 🐾Tailored Care for Every Cat🐾 Clear communication with owners is essential to providing the best possible care. Whether your cat needs feeding, fresh water replenishment litter box maintenance, cuddles, grooming, medication administration (including injections), or close observation, I will follow your instructions carefully, thoroughly & attentively. Each visit usually lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your requests & your cat’s needs. 🐾Reliable & Transparent Service🐾 To give you peace of mind while you're away, I can send regular photos and videos - as many as you’d like! You can always stay updated & reassured about your cat’s well-being. 🐾Flexible & Trustworthy🐾 I am a permanent resident of Newcastle upon Tyne with a clear DBS check, ensuring reliability & trustworthiness. I am always open to learning and adapting to your cat’s specific needs. Any special requests, let’s discuss them...I’ll do my best to accommodate. Price is negotiable depending on travel time, requested timing & specific needs!!! Your cat’s happiness & well-being are my top priority. I’m here to provide loving, professional care. Let’s chat about how I can help... It depends. There will be a discussion with clients. Sometimes I work remotely, sometimes I am not. There will be the timetable for me in advance for clients to check prior to their decision to contact me. Alternatively, please contact me by email directly. We will schedule a meeting for the pet care. I am happy to cover all the areas in Newcastle upon Tyne. Different cat has different personality and behaviour towards loneliness and facing a stranger, even different attitudes towards female and male. Communicating with cat owners is also quite important to know how to take care of their cats and how to max my help. I hope every cat is the most comfortable around me. As long as owners tell me in brief or detail what treatments and services you need from me, I will let you know if I can do it or not, I will try and learn as much as I can to provide my service based on your cats' needs as my responsibility. By following the owner's instruction, I spend 30 - 40 mins/each visit with cats who need daily feeding, cuddling, combing, medication administration or/and injections and observation. Photos & videos are available to send to owners as needed.
