About: Hi, I am a student currently studying a Zoology degree at Hartpury University. I love all animals and I have lots of experience working with them. I have worked at a doggy daycare in the past and have a lot of experience caring of them. I also have experience with elderly dogs and dogs with special needs, as my family dog had diabetes which required daily insulin. He was also deaf and blind but went through cataract surgery so I have a lot of experience with eye drops too. I am currently a university student so my availability will change depending on my schedule. But I am not in university all day every day so I have lots of availability. I offer at home visits where I can visit your pet during the day while you’re away. I will give them some play time and make sure that they’ve gone to the toilet while I am there. I will also make sure if there are any accidents that they have been cleaned up.

About: I have been around dogs all my life, from big to small. I’ve looked after families dogs plenty of times, one which requires diabetic medication and care. In october 2024, I took on a dog that required extra care and attention due to anxiety and being abused as a pup. I work as a TA with flexible hours. Due to the nature of my job, I only work 1-3 days a week which means I can be readily available when needed. I have a large fenced garden with double doors that open onto it, and I am happy to leave the doors open for air flow and to allow the dog freedom of being inside or outside. I can crate if required.

About: I’m experienced in handling large dogs (any size/breed welcome) and have a deep understanding of the needs and quirks of anxious and reactive dogs and the care and patience they require through my experience with my extremely nervous rescue German Shepherd who was in very bad mental and physical condition when I adopted him. Sadly, he passed at the end of 2024 after many happy years together. Personally, I found it extremely difficult to trust others to walk or care for him during our time together so I’d like to reassure those in a similar position that I can take care of their best friend when they need it and I’ll always be as careful, understanding and vigilant as I was with my own. My garden is secure with full, well-maintained fences and walls and a padlocked gate, I have blinds on all public facing windows which can be closed if dogs are triggered by people walking by. Everyone is welcome to supply any toys, beds or anything that makes your dog feel more comfortable and of course I will stick to their usual walking schedule and dietary requirements. I live directly next to a large park which is not typically very busy and offers numerous trails from the main paths to avoid others when caring for reactive dogs. I will never let anyone’s dog off the lead during a walk (unless I have booked a secure field) and always clip leads to a strong walking belt as extra security, walk in shaded areas on hot days and carry water at all times. I mainly work from home so when boarding and pet sitting your dog will be with me all day with regular opportunities to play, go in the garden and for walks in the morning, lunch time and evening. I’m available for walks morning, lunchtime and evenings during the week and all day Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. I only care for dogs from the same household on walks and in my home unless they are friends who have already spent time together. This is for the best possible wellbeing of each dog. I’d rather provide quality and complete confidence than take on as many dogs as possible as I believe in giving them the individual care and attention they deserve with as few stressful triggers as possible. I work from home so dogs will not be left unattended or outside for prolonged periods. I only endorse the use of positive reinforcement / reward-based training and treat all dogs with respect, understanding and care tailored to their specific needs. I’m happy to discuss your requirements, answer any questions and arrange a pre-stay meet and greet if required. I have also completed a certified DBS check through my employer.

“Melissa has been great with my two pups, they seem to have taken to her instantly She kept me in the loop during the walk sent some great photos of my girls having a lot of fun on their walk and spent some time after having cuddles and strokes which is exactly what my two dogs love almost as much as being out in the sunshine on a field Would definitely recommend Melissa great communication and an excellent service with my two pups”

About: I’m a young, enthusiastic animal lover. Working with animals since I was only 15. I’ve done everything from dog walking, to a kennel and Cattery worker, to working in a groomers, a hydrotherapy and doing a 2 year animal management course at Askham Bryan College. I have taken an animal first aid course and I have experience dealing with dogs/cats who have a medical condition and need medication. My passion is to care for animals of all shapes and sizes, and of all ages. At home I have 3 dogs, a chalkie, yorkipoo and patterdale, and I’m also close with 2 staffies which my dad owns. Currently I have fish and a crested gecko too. However, in the past I’ve also owned Syrian hamsters. In my spare time I enjoy going for long dog walks to either the beach or woodlands. Of course dogs will need bathing after these walks which is something else I enjoy doing.

About: I grew up rearing, raising, and training XL dogs on a farm South Africa, from puppy to old age. I have rescued many dogs. Our sheep dog is a rescue. We have a sheepdog and 2 poochons who are super friendly and love making friends. My wife will probably spoil your dog just as much as she spoils our own. My wife is now a qualified dog trainer making us a great pair to ensure your dog is safe and happy during their stay with us. My wife and I both work from home. We're really flexible and we take our dogs for a walk 2 or 3 times a day. We have a walled garden and we have plenty of experience walking dogs. We have a large open plan kitchen/diner with laminate flooring, so easy to clean any mess, and your dog is welcome to chill with us in our lounge on our sofa's. Our house is your dog's house.

About: Acquired Canine Care Qualifications: Ofqual regulated Level 2 Award in Canine Care and Behaviour. I've always loved dogs, probably especially due to growing up with my best friend, Sam, who was a gentle giant; a german shepherd crossed with a Labrador. He taught me the love of a dog from the moment he joined our family. My family have always taught me that dogs (and any other pets) are part of the family and should be treated as such. I will adjust the energy i put out to suit the dog i am with at the time, for example, for an older friend who seems like they just want a nice stroll and then a bit of a relax- i'll give them just that! Your canine pals will always be safe and happy with me. My first experience of being the sole person responsible for a dog was when i was 12 and my mum got a staffie, Ronnie. He was also a gentle giant and i cared for him the best i could. He lived a long, happy life but sadly died of old age earlier this year. In my time so far, i've been lucky enough to have these animals as part of my family at some point or another: dogs, fish, rabbits, hamsters, budgies, cats and a pigeon (he was injured so we took him in until he was all healed up and then he just.. stayed). I am often friends' and family's first choice for looking after their dog while they're away and i absolutely love doing it! I am available many hours of the week and can provide some flexibility where others may not be able to. Hopefully this will help some of you who maybe can't give definite times. I rent a house with my partner, Ollie, who is very dog friendly :) I'll make sure your dog receives at least a 30 minute walk as a general rule, however I am happy to arrange a more specific length of time suited for you and your dog. I can reach most areas of Thornaby and Stockton-On-Tees - if you are unsure if you are out of my distance range, send me a message and we can figure it out together :) I'd love to support you and your dogs so hopefully i'll hear from you soon!

About: Growing up on a dog kennels and cattery, I am very familiar with all different breeds, temperaments and ages. I have taught dogs many tricks and even taught a cat to sit. I am not scared of big breeds as I had 2 Newfoundland dogs myself. I am studying a healthcare course at University on Wednesday for half a day so have the half day free as well as being off from university on Thursday. All pets are welcome in my home. I have a backyard which the dogs can use and quite a large house. There’s a local park for walks also.

About: I have grown up around pets. I love animals my favourite are definitely dogs.

I hold myself to a high standard and make sure I have all the information I need to give the best experience and look after and care for their dogs to the best of my ability. I am trustworthy and understand the importance of being respectful

About: I have completed various qualifications to help me provide the best care possible for your pet, including animal management, dog first aid, canine communication, ultimate puppy training and lead and recall training. Dogs have always been a huge passion of mine and I had many different breeds as a child. Now, as an adult, we finally got our first family dog and he has reignited my passion and I am hoping to finally have a career with something that I truly love. My aim is to provide the best possible care for every dog in my service. I currently have a part time job that I work Monday to Wednesday, 8.30 till 4.30. Thursday to Sunday I am available for full dog walking and check in services. Monday to Wednesday I may have some availability for after 5 check ins. I can come to your home for the requested time, ensuring your dog has fresh water and food, taken out to relieve themselves, and provide play, basic training and ultimately some companionship. Walks are tailored to the clients needs and requirements. I also offer puppy socialisation services and a carry round service for those pups who are not yet fully vaccinated it don’t want to miss out on the crucial socialisation period.

“Moose had a fab time with Gabby, he's been pooped all day and didn't want to leave! Thank you for accommodating with the last minute early drop off too!”
