Pet Sitting in Gateshead

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.

“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: Dogs > cats! 🤪 Avid dog lover for all your needs. Raising money for a volunteering charity to build water infrastructure and help the local community with agricultural projects in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. I have grown up with a dog in my life since I was born and trained my current dog who is the loveliest, gentle soul who loves to visit the care home and cheer up residents. When I’m home I’m looking after my Labrador full time. I don’t have a job at the moment so can easily accommodate anyone’s schedule and look after a dog throughout the day. I have a fully fenced back yard, am available 24 hours and own a car so am able to take a dog on a long walk in the nicest spots.

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 have had family pets all my life. I love dogs and cats alike and would be honoured to give your special ones some love and care while you are unavailable I am a mother of a beautiful baby girl and while she is at nursery I have some time during the day to walk or care for an animal or two. I will walk your dog as per your instructions. If you don't want them off the lead or near other dogs (if they are reactive) I will respect that.

About: I have my own 3 year old shih tzu at home who is a super friendly neutered boy and will definitely make your pooch feel at home with us. We have no issues with pets being on sofas or beds as we let our own do this as well. Our home will be theirs for their stay, providing plenty of cuddles, treats, walks and whatever they need sticking to any routine your have. I have had various pets my whole life so have multiple pet experience as well as dogs. I currently work part time for a few hours Monday to Thursday but am available most of the day for toilet breaks, morning and evening walks and plenty of play and cuddles. I have a fenced small yard for toilet breaks and playtime as well and also live next door to a very lovely large park for walks.

“We've recently moved house and needed a new cat sitter we could trust. Liezel was fantastic with both our cats, and I was really reassured by the daily updates with pictures and happy kitties.”

“Liz was great with my pups and took great care of them whilst I was away! I had to make the booking at short notice and she was super responsive and tbh I think my dogs prefer her to me now!”

About: Having cared for family dogs for over 12 years and owning my own cat, I understand how important routine, consistency, and trust are for pets. Alongside my pet care experience, I’ve worked as a teacher for over five years, which has made me highly dependable, organised, and attentive. I communicate clearly, follow instructions closely, and always treat pets and homes with respect. My goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after, while giving owners complete peace of mind. I work on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, but I’m available for pet care on Mondays and Wednesdays, as well as Saturday and Sunday mornings. During these times I’m happy to provide dog walks and drop-in visits, including playtime and companionship. I keep my availability up to date and communicate clearly to make scheduling easy and reliable I offer home visits and dog walking only. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep routines consistent and stress-free. This includes feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and settled. For dog walks, I focus on safe, calm walks suited to each dog’s needs, always prioritising their wellbeing and safety. I’m respectful of owners’ homes, reliable with timings, and happy to provide photo updates for peace of mind

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: Hi there! I’m Jessie. I recently moved from Surrey to Newcastle for work, and as someone who grew up with pets of all kinds, dogs, cats, hamsters, and even African land snails, I’ve always loved having animals around. Having grown up with dogs my whole life, including puppies, rescue dogs, and senior dogs, and with my mum working as a dog sitter, I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. While my current place doesn’t allow pets, I’m excited to help others by offering house-sitting, dog-walking, and drop-in visits. I’m friendly, reliable, and flexible with my availability, and I’d love to look after your pets like they’re my own! I work full-time with a mix of office and home days. I usually work from home 2–3 days a week, so as long as there’s Wi-Fi, I’m able to work from your home or pop in during my lunch and breaks. I’m also available most evenings and weekends with a bit of notice. I always aim to follow your pet’s usual routine to keep things familiar and stress-free. Happy to stick to specific feeding times, walk schedules, and any special instructions. Calm, gentle care with plenty of attention, playtime, and reassurance. Dog walks tailored to your pet’s needs and energy levels (i.e length and type of walk, secure leads, safe walking routes etc) Drop-ins include feeding, fresh water, litter changes, letting dogs out, and general tidying of pet areas if needed. Comfortable caring for shy, energetic, or rescue pets who may need a bit of patience. I will always share updates and communicate with pet owners :)

About: I go beyond basic care by treating every dog like family—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and engaged. With keen attention to detail, a calm and confident approach, and a genuine passion for animals, I provide personalised care that sets me apart from other sitters. I’m currently doing dog services full time, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to dog walking. This means I’m flexible, reliable, and able to give your dog the attention and care they need whenever it works best for you. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I provide a secure, dog-friendly environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for. You can count on me to follow routines, watch closely for any signs of stress or discomfort, and treat your dog with the same love and attention I’d give my own.

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.

“Amazing!! Would thoroughly recommend Colie! We asked Colie to come to check on our puppy for an hour twice this week and she was fab! Such a nice person too! Fully trust her and we are going to ask her to come back! We received photos of him and then a report card with what went on in the hour which was lovely. Baxter says thank you! X”

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!

About: Hi! I’m a Newcastle-based pet sitter offering dog boarding, dog walking, and drop-in visits. I’ve recently moved to the area and am excited to build a trusted local client base while providing attentive, compassionate care for your pets. I have hands-on experience with small to medium-sized dogs, including Bassets, Spaniels, and other similar breeds, as well as cats. I’m confident caring for pets with different personalities — from energetic walkers to more relaxed companions — and I always tailor my approach to each animal’s needs. Alongside pet care, I work as a seasonal Ecologist, a role that requires a high level of responsibility, observation, and respect for animals and their environments. These skills naturally carry over into how I care for pets: I’m attentive, patient, and very mindful of routines, behaviour, and wellbeing. My work is busiest in spring and summer, which is why I’m building a pet-care career that supports this — allowing me to dedicate focused, quality time to your pets rather than rushing visits. Reliable, punctual care Clear communication and updates Respect for your pet’s routine A calm, animal-focused approach Genuine care — your pet’s comfort always comes first Whether you need regular support or occasional help, I aim to make your pet feel safe, settled, and well cared for while you’re away. In my home (boarding): I provide calm, home-based care with plenty of attention, regular walks, feeding to the owner’s schedule, and downtime to help pets settle. I keep routines consistent, offer a safe and relaxed environment, and always prioritise comfort, cleanliness, and supervision. I only accept pets I’m confident I can give proper care and time to. In the owner’s home (walks & drop-ins): I make sure pets are fed, walked, and cared for exactly as instructed. Drop-in visits include fresh water, feeding, playtime or enrichment, litter tray or garden breaks, and a general wellbeing check. I’m respectful of your home and always ensure pets are secure before leaving. Across all services, I focus on: Routine and consistency Calm, patient handling Clear communication and updates Pet safety and wellbeing
