During the stay she sent us messages and photos about how well Flora was settling in and this was very reassuring. She communicated with us very well.”

“Rusudan & her lovely Family took wonderful loving care of my 6 year old Cockapoo Dog Rocky over Christmas for 4 days recently. We had an initial 40 minute meeting with Rocky at their house, a week before, to get everyone acquainted. I knew from the moment I stepped into their house, how welcoming and warm they were & how settled immediately Rocky and I were. During Rockys stay with Rusudan & her family, communication was great. Lots of photos, and letting me know how he was. As soon as I messaged every morning to check on him, I got an immediate response. I’d highly recommend this lovely family to take care of your dog anytime. I will most certainly be asking them to look after Rocky again in the future. Thank you so very much Rusudan & Family, for taking such good loving care of Rocky. I appreciate you all greatly. Kind Regards, I’ll be in touch again soon. Lots of Love. ❤️🐶🤗👏🐕🎄 xx”

She has an amazing garden which Minnie wasted no time in enjoying! Kay sent lots of updates with photos and videos to put our mind at ease too which was fab. We would recommend to anyone who would like a kind, loving home away from home for their pup, we will certainly be using Kay again.”


“Having never used a dog sitting/boarding service before I was slightly nervous about leaving our 2 dogs with a non family member and someone they were not used to - when we went to a family wedding . I need not have worried at all ! Booking was very straightforward and Christopher provided a lovely, safe and comfortable place for Sam & Max to stay . They played games, went for walks and we got photographs of their day . I did not worry about them at all after the first photo came through - they didn’t even look as if they were missing us ! I will certainly be asking Christopher to mind them again as we have another family wedding in November. It’s so good to have someone who cares and can look after your dogs as you can. So happy we used the service and found Christopher .”

About: I absolutely love dogs and love having buddies over for my French Bulldog Frankie to play with! I love long walks, games and snuggles I have 2 teenagers who are doggy mad too, so lots of help around me. I work but for myself around the corner from home so I either work at home during the day or take the doggies with me to the office Weeeknds I am usually at home Loving and calm household, ready to offer a safe space to your best friend. I like to offer a home from home environment where your dog can feel relaxed and at ease.
About: Im Brilliant with all animals as I have been interested since a child I love taking care of them and have a passion for animals.I know it can be difficult balancing life around them sometimes so why not do something like this to help, I would love to give my skills to others and help out as much as I can with dog walks/ minding and cat minding. Since being little my parents looked after puppies and also took dogs on dog shows around the UK. I’m currently available for daily appointments and will have more than enough time to fit people in and around their routines to take care of pets I have a big fenced garden with no access to outisde of it meaning all pets can be kept safe and secure when in the garden. I also have different rooms for different animals to stay in. I live right at the back of a big field / park to walk the dogs and for them To play in if I were too be in someone else’s home i can assure your pets will be looked after by the very best and also your home 🏡 . I do not own a vehicle as of yet but can get to places around Middlesbrough to collect / stay / take your pet for a walk.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the genuine joy I get from spending time with animals and giving them the attention they deserve. While I may not currently own a dog or cat, I absolutely love being around them and treat every furry guest as if they’re my own. I’m calm, patient, and naturally attentive — the kind of person who notices when a dog or cat needs reassurance, a cuddle, or just a bit of quiet company. Your pet won’t be one of many; they’ll be the priority. I love being outdoors and spending my weekends exploring the Cleveland Hills, Yorkshire, and Northumbria, so your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh air, new scents, and relaxed, happy walks — always tailored to their energy and needs. At home, I offer a cosy, comfortable space where pets quickly feel settled, whether that’s pottering around the garden, curling up during a TV series, or simply enjoying a peaceful routine. If you’re looking for someone who will give your dog or cat time, affection, and a warm, home-from-home experience, I’d love to be that person. Monday to Wednesday, I’m out of the house during the day, but I’m very happy to offer evening drop-in visits and dog walks after 17:30 on Monday evenings. This works well for pets who need feeding, a toilet break, a walk, or some company and reassurance in the evening, without requiring overnight care. From occassional Thursdays and every Friday afternoon onwards, and throughout most weekends, I have much more flexibility and can offer longer stays, boarding, and unhurried care. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, quality time, and a relaxed routine. I’m always honest about availability and will only take on care that I know I can give properly, so owners can feel confident their pets are in safe, attentive hands. I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting them in theirs. I know how important familiarity is for both cats and dogs, so I take time to understand their feeding schedule, walking needs, play preferences, and any little habits that help them feel safe and settled. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I always let the pet set the pace. For dogs, this means regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship, balanced with rest and downtime. I enjoy being outdoors, so walks are never rushed and are tailored to each dog’s energy level. For cats, I focus on maintaining a peaceful environment, respecting their space, and offering affection on their terms — whether that’s interactive play, quiet company, or a comforting presence nearby. In both my home and the owner’s home, I keep things clean, secure, and stress-free. I’m careful with doors, gardens, and feeding routines, and I treat every home with respect. Communication is important to me, so I’m always happy to provide updates and reassurance while owners are away. Above all, I aim to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.
“Sian made me feel comfortable and at ease to leave Reggie with her she was very welcoming and nice Reggie absolutely loved it she kept me up to date with pics and messages and this helped a lot knowing he had settled absolutely perfect sitter !”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all shapes and sizes, including Westies, Cockapoos, mixed breeds, Greyhounds, and Staffies. I love walking dogs and spending time outdoors, and I’m adaptable to each dog’s unique personality and energy level. Whether your dog is playful, energetic, calm, or a little shy, I tailor my care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, and providing lots of attention and companionship. I love including pets in my daily life - walking, playing and giving them attention is something I naturally enjoy. I'm mainly available on weekends and evenings or early mornings. I take safety and comfort very seriously. In my home, pets have access to a small, secure balcony, and because I don't have a garden, I ensure they get extra walks and outdoor time to stay happy and active. I follow any instructions you provide for feeding, training or routines and I supervise pets at all times during walks, playtime or rest. I build trust by being attentive, calm and consistent so pets feel safe, loved and cared for.
“Toby and Sarah are a lovely couple and cared for our dog Milo very well . Got regular updates with pictures of him having lots of walks , would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again 😊”

“Having been let down by another sitter we found Andrew what impressed me was the personal write up on his profile, due to the fact we have 2 rescue dogs we thought Andrew’s previous experience would be perfect and this turned out to be correct Dexter & Holly have just returned after a one night trial and all has gone well, before booking this we went through with the dogs to see if we could introduce them and see how it went Due to Andrew’s perfect calm nature the dogs settled to our amazement really well and Holly fell in love with Andrew The overnight stay has gone well even though the dogs seemed more anxious when dropping off Dexter who we thought may be an issue settled straight away but through patients and staying away Holly settled after 2 hours I would highly recommend Andrew but reluctant as I don’t want him to become too busy so we can’t get back booked in 😂 It has been a pleasure dealing with Andrew and his lovely partner Sian we feel blessed to have found such a lovely caring perfect dog sitter and now booking up for our dogs when we go on Holiday Regards Colin & Nicky”

About: I make sure dog safety is my number one priority. All dogs are happy and treated like my own. All dogs are secured and feel safe. I currently run a daycare and boarding service in Hartlepool. Dog walks will work alongside my buissness. As well as daycare and boarding and pet visits. My home has been checked by the local council. I am five star rated. I have a fenced garden which is made for dogs here.
