“Rowanne was amazing with our dachshund. We met up for a meet and greet to make sure our dogs got along and she was very accommodating and asked plenty of reassuring questions so I knew our dog would be well looked after. We were only planning on a one off booking as we were attending a funeral, but our dog had so much fun and we were so comfortable leaving her with Rowanne that we are now planning on booking her again so we can do a few other things together that are not dog friendly. Thank you Rowanne for making a stressful day a lot less stressful.”


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.

“Jasper loved staying with Sian for day care and was so excited on the second day as soon as we got to the house. He made himself right at home from the minute he walked in and I was kept up to date during the day which was really appreciated. Will definitely be booking again.”


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 like to offer a home from home environment where your dog can feel relaxed and at ease.

“Andrew (and Sian) took lovely care of my two border collies. My dogs can be quite reactive but Andrew reassured me with his experience of dogs with quirks! They came home nicely tired and calm and they'll be back to see Andrew soon ☺️”


About: Hi, we are Pete & Emma. Having had pets throughout child and adulthood, we are both well versed in the thoughts that go through your mind when looking to find someone just like you to look after your furry loved ones. We share our lives with 'Sirius' a Dalmation we adopted at the age of 1 and it was important for us to know we had someone we could build a relationship with, if we ever needed a service! That's why we joined - for you hopefully! We walk our own dog a minimum of twice a day, once in the morning by Emma and once in the evening by Pete. Walks generally last a minimum of 30minutes. Pete works from home so there is always someone around, on weekends we usually get out for a longer walk together on a Sunday. So pet care fits nicely into the routine we are able to maintain! We have a fenced garden and a door to the garden is left open throughout the day in summer, during colder months toilet breaks are as often as needed. We are in close proximity to large fields for regular exercise. Pets within our home are welcome In all rooms where they will find a comfy spot to snooze.

“Bonnie and Blu had an amazing day! I loved the regular updates and photos – it gave me so much peace of mind. They looked so happy and well cared for the whole time. I can tell they were truly loved. Highly recommend!”


“Beth is great and so caring, Kobe suffers from severe anxiety, but Beth was very patient with him and he was well looked after. Beth is happy to go the extra mile and has offered to help work on Kobe's anxiety, I would highly recommend her, thanks again.”

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.

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!

“Scooby, my six month old Cavachon went to Eve’s for doggy day care on the 3rd May, 2023, for the first time. Booking through Rover is a breeze but Eve goes the extra mile adding a personal touch. Communication & promptness to reply, asking questions about Scooby’s likes & dislikes, walks/if he was aloud off the lead, everything & more was covered & catered for. I cannot fault or rate Eve highly enough, pure perfection, I have rebooked a further five days, this time with boarding. Please anyone considering booking with Eve, don’t hesitate , you will not be disappointed.”



“Christopher was really good with dolly he kept me up to date with photos & even when had her out on walks through out the day. It was first time I left dolly with someone else apart from my daughter & when Christopher arrived dolly took to him straight away & he even give me some tips on how to help me with dolly when I take her out. Will be using again. .”

My garden is fenced so the dog wouldn’t be able to run out. I also have 2 kids who can help me keep the dog a company and play with the dog and make the dog happy and not bored.

About: Hi I’m India! I’ve owned dogs my whole life from chihuahuas to alsatians and everything in between. At my family home we have an assortment of pets from horses to cats and dogs.

We have lots of space including, enclosed fields, fenced gardens and dog runs as well as rooms inside to keep your pet separate from other dogs if that’s what you would prefer! Im a kind, patient person and I’m capable of handling dogs that may need a slightly stricter approach, my husky for example pulls on her lead very badly (I’m trying to train her out of this though!)

Cameron S.

“What to say about Cameron & here love for not only my dog but other dogs. First off she loves nothing more than knowing I need help with a sitter whenever I’m unable to stay at home & look after Rufio,my miniature dachshund. She absolutely adores him & loves being able to look after him. She’s enthusiastic & very,very loving & kindwhen it comes to looking after him. Cameron takes him on all the walks he needs & feeds him when he needs to aswel,just at the normal times he has when I’m at home. Every time Cameron comes round,Rufio is so excited to see her & knows he’s in for a night of cuddles & treats. There’s not a animal,never mind a dog,that she won’t look after to the best of her ability. Cameron is very level headed & very mature for her age & with that has a great attitude & sense of what’s right & wrong & what to do in any situation. There isn’t another person I’d ask when it comes to looking after Rufio. She would definitely suit this job & lifestyle with ease. Thanks”
