“Caitlin is the perfect sitter. So friendly and kept me updated on everything. Will definitely be using her again. Olive seems very happy either her too x”


About: I have had dogs since I was a child (Jack russel) and grew up around neighbours and family members dogs. I adopted Jake my American Akita about 4 years ago, he's getting old now so pefers sleeping on the rug these days. I have 2 young cats Luna and Titan. I also have a Tortoise and a lizard so I'm pretty experienced with animals As a mother to 5 kids my free time is typically during school hours (9-3) but I can also be available for evenings after 6pm and weekends if needed. I have a fully enclosed large garden for dogs to play in and room for a medium sized crate if needed. I understand your pets have different need and can accommodate for any dietry requirements. I am available for quick drop ins or longer stays if required to give your furry friend some company and all the cuddles they want

About: I had fogs when I lived at home with my parents and when I moved out I lived in a small house so adopted 2 brother cats. We have now moved to a bigger home and our children and us have a cat and a dog who are great friends. I am a stay at home parent so other than fitting around the school run i am free to walk/visit/feed your four legged friend at any time. I have a large garden with a patio, deck and grassy areas. The fences are high and sturdy so your fur baby will be safe and have fun to run around with my best friend Frankie.

“Absolutely amazing service , really lovely lady that my cat took well too , I will be booking again thankyou x”



About: I’ve been around animals all my life, growing up with family pets - from frogs to dogs! When I left home and my family dog of 7 years, I knew I needed a furry companion, so along came Crumpet! My 2 year old Golden Retriever. Crumpet has been with me from being 12 weeks old so I am very familiar and confident with caring for young animals. My dog is my baby so I fully understand how much people love their pets—because I feel the same way about mine. My dog is truly part of my family, and that’s why I treat every pet I care for with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own I’m a full-time teacher who’s passionate about pets and available to care for yours during evenings, weekends, and school holidays. When I’m not in the classroom, I’m dedicated to giving your furry friends the love and attention they deserve When caring for someone else’s pet, I treat them as if they were my own—with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs and routines. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, walks, or quiet companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their family is away

“Great service”


“Lovely pet sitters who take time to get to know about your pets. This was our first experience using a pet sitter and they made us feel very happy leaving our pets in their care. Would highly recommend.”


“We have never had to leave our cats with anyone before but we are so glad we found Jakub to look after them. Jakub was very caring and looked after our 2 cats better than we could of asked for. Jakub sent us an update and photos of the cats every day. We will definitely book Jakub again when we next go away. He charged a very fair price, and was kind and compassionate. Thank you 😀”


“Friendly. Met as I was leaving the house. Kept me updated on how Franky and the birds were doing. They had 3 visits over the weekend. Lots of photo news which was great to see. Totally recommend and would definately book again.”


About: I have cared for animals ever since I was a child, equipping me with invaluable experience and skills in order to care for your beloved companions. I am currently a student, with primary availability on weekends and evenings to care for your pets. However, I will be much more flexible during holiday periods. I am extremely attentive and adapt quickly to new environments, meaning that you can be rest assured that your pets are in good hands no matter the setting.

About: I've looked after my sister's large dog since she was a puppy, fed her and took her out for walks and minded her when my sister went away. I love when my friends bring their dogs when we go for walks so I can give them lots of attention and cuddles. When out in public I always stroke dogs with permission and talk to them Currently I have more free time than usual and I am available during the week and weekend for hourly/ daily visits and for overnight stays. I live in Hartlepool so I'd be willing to do drop in visits and walks for anyone living within 10 miles of me and I would stay in your home up to 35-40 miles away from where I live. But please ask as I might be able to make exceptions Week commencing 4/8 I can do walks/stays after 17:30 in the teesside area and potentially could do a drop in visit during the day depending on where you live I'd care for the pets in the owners home and follow the instructions they gave me about keeping their pets safe, hopefully this would make life easier for the owner

About: I have taken care of pets since the age of 10. I got both of my dogs from abusive households and this has allowed me to understand animals better and their behaviour. I have learnt how to care and train dogs from a younger age and help my family and friends with their animals such as dog sitting and training. I am an active person so I can keep up with high energy dogs and ware them out! I am a great animal lover! I am at part time uni 3 days a week but can still be available almost everyday to look after/dog sit and walk your pets! I have a garden that has a large wall and large secured gate for your pup to play in. My door is keypad operated so they are safe in the house. There’s plenty people here to play and keep your dog company. I don’t have any other animals in the house so if your dog is not good with other animals there will be no problem! I can be custom to what you request!

About: Ive grown up having dogs my whole life. I have 3 of my own now as well as a horse. Have helped friends and family for years with their animals and have recently started my own pet care business offering all of these services too. I recently started my pet care business so this is now my full time work. I am available 7 days a week for dog walking, drop in visits and overnight stays in your home. I only offer services in your home. This allows the animal to maintain their daily routine and reduces stress/anxiety. I can offer group walks or paired walks if you would like your dog socialised with others.

About: My love for dogs and animals grew when I got my first dog at the age of 11. From the get go I was the one who groomed her, bathed her and trained her (as well as providing lots of love and play of course!). Therefore, I have plenty of experience in those areas as well as a good knowledge of nutrition and basic knowledge of oral medication. I now have a 1 Yr old working line cocker spaniel whom we've had from 8 weeks, so I have recently experience in puppy training and being responsible for a high-energy dog. I am able to administer oral medication. I am also more than happy to bath your pet and provide basic grooming. I am currently at home most of the time so I can dedicate lots of time for walks with my own dog! I enjoy walking so much that I thought I would create a business out of it. We have access to local woodland walks, countryside paths and the beach is a short drive away. I would usually be available Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays for walking, drop in visits or to house sit. Please do get in touch if you require a different day as I may be able to make it work. When I drop into your home I will care for your dog as per your instructions. Happy to feed, play with, exercise them etc. Please let me know your pet's favourite things to do and games to play! I am also happy to bath and groom your pet.

About: I love taking care of animals and have had many pets from a young age. From dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and fish I've always been surrounded by animals. I love taking walks and going out in nature myself so your pet will have good company. I also love chilling and cuddly pets so can cater to all kinds of needs <3 I'm a full time student. My days are Monday to Friday 9-5 and I'm free all weekends. This means I'm perfect for overnight care and late evening walks and available all weekend to take your fur babies on walks and runs! As I'm a student I'm currently away from my dog and unfortunately my accommodation doesn't allow large animals into my accommodation which is why my services offer care in your own home or just for taking them on walks, feeding them or giving them some company.

About: I've been around dogs for as far back as I can remember, everything from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. I'm often asked back to repeat sit for people, because they know that their pets are in safe hands with me, and that their house will be clean and tidy when they return from their holiday. I've done pet sits all over the UK and can travel up to 100 miles from my home in Hartlepool, as I don't have any work or family commitments that prevent me from travelling. However, please note that if you live more than 40 miles drive from Hartlepool, then I will require travelling expenses on top of the sit payment please. I prefer to be with smaller dogs and dogs that are obedient. If your dog has behavioural issues, is aggressive towards people or other dogs, or has bitten anyone in the past, then please don't message me. If you do message me, please be polite and courteous. Thank you. I'm self-employed and about to launch a new brand of joint and muscle pain relief products, which doesn't require me to be in a fixed location, so I can carry out pet sitting duties as well as work on the business. I always adjust my routine to fit in with that of the animals. Their wellbeing is of paramount importance and I'll never leave them alone for any longer than is necessary. If your pet has an appointment booked, then I can take them to it in my car, but if they cause damage to my car I will expect you to cover the full cost of repairs.

“Michael has always been great with my two Rottweilers. Bear tends not to like many people but loves Michael. They enjoy their walks with him and Michael also feeds them and makes sure they are safe and securely put back into their beds while being professional and friendly. I would highly recommend him to anyone who asks.”
