Christine stayed at my home to look after Skye. She kept me updated and sent pictures. Skye really enjoyed spending time with her especially because she brought home made treats and took her for walks. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thank you Christine

Kay gave us all the information we needed. She met early to discuss & view the house. Bella was very comfortable with her. Kay took her out for a walk & sent a photo to us . That reassured us & made us relaxed for the evening. Bella was sitting on her knee when we returned ,so calm & happy.

About: I've always loved caring for animals, which only increased when I got my first dog 12 years ago. She has taught me patience, companionship and the skill of training a puppy! Since then I've cared for friends and family's pets and in the last 2 years started walking and pet-sitting dogs in my local area; so with experience comes confidence of adapting to each dog's needs and catering to the owner, who knows their dog the best! I'd love to help others because I know how important dogs are and how much we love them. I'm doing animal care full time so if you just request a shedule and I will more than likely be able to fit you in ☺️ I've done pet-sitting for many neighbours with no issues - just tell me what you would like and where the treats are kept! :) I always aim for the dogs/cats to be comfortable and relaxed and will follow any instructions to crate your pet or keep them off furniture etc.

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: Dog sitting has been one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had. Spending time with different dogs taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of routine. Each dog had its own personality—some energetic and playful, others calm and cuddly—so I quickly learned how to adapt to their needs. From early morning walks to late night feedings, I made sure they felt safe and loved while their owners were away. I also handled unexpected challenges, like nervous behavior or sudden rainstorms, which strengthened my problem solving skills. Overall, dog sitting helped me grow more dependable and compassionate in every situation encountered. I have a schedule where my dog, Kizzy has to do on a 10-15 minute walk every 3 hours, other than that, we play and chill. I have an entirely fenced garden and I have access to a extremely large field for more intense exercise, roughly 5 minutes from my doorstep.

Lyndsey is nothing short of incredible. She didn’t just look after Dottie, she treated her like her own and cared for her exactly the way I would. She stayed at my house for around a week and took the time to truly listen to all of Dottie’s very specific, very her ways, handling everything with so much patience, love, and understanding. Dottie doesn’t like anyone, so coming home to find her genuinely bonded with Lyndsey, relaxed, happy, and completely herself honestly blew my mind. As an added bonus, Lyndsey left the house cleaner than when I left it, which just says everything about the level of care she gives. I trust her completely and will be using her loads this year, now that I know Dottie is in the absolute best hands possible. 🐾💖

JP took such wonderful care of our two dogs they both settled with her so quickly and enjoyed some beautiful walks during our stay in Durham. It was such a relief for us to know that they were being so well cared for whilst we went out during the day exploring and spending time away from them during our weekend away. We are planning to come back again in a few months and will definitely be rebooking if we bring the dogs back with us again. Thank you so much xx

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.

Katrina did an amazing job looking after my Cody, the booking was very much last minute but Katrina made sure to have a meet and greet before her stay with Cody. She sent lots of updates and photos throughout and the house was left immaculate, will definitely look to book Katrina again in the future!

Gemma was the best sitter we could have hoped for! She is a lovely and caring person and was so nice with our dog, he can be awkward but she handled him superbly and managed to walk him better than we can! We would not hesitate to use her again in the future!
