Dog Walking Newbiggin by the Sea

“Nicole and jack kindly arranged a meet and greet with us before the walk. After being very anxious about finding a new dog walker they were very understanding and took all of the dogs needs and any concerns of ours onboard. We were kept updated and provided with report, recorded map of the walk and photos. Thank you ☺️”

About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life and I am currently studying animal care in college so I am able to carry out care for pets to a high standard and I have also received qualifications in this sector. I am able to do this morning and night between 6-8am and 6-10pm on weekdays due to college and other responsibilities and 6-8am and 2-8pm on weekends due to working. Feeding, grooming, watering, walking. I do this on a daily basis due to having pets of my own, and I have done this for many years.

About: I have 2 years of experience as a degree level lecturer teaching canine and feline behaviour, welfare, husbandry and Training. In addition to this, I have a First class honours degree in Canine and Feline Behaviour and Welfare and have had pets since I was born, growing up with dogs, cats, hamsters and rabbits. I began working in the animal industry at 16 in aquariums and zoos and took my first step into caring for dogs professionally through helping my sister open a dog day care in the North East. Since then, I have gone to university, have achieved a 1st in my Bsc (hons) Degree in Canine and Feline behaviour and welfare, immediately progressed to teaching the very degree I just completed for the last 2 years and intend on spending my career helping dogs and owners to lead happy and fulfilling lives. I can train puppies and adult dogs using various techniques including: obedience, life skills, behavioural modification and scent training. Which means I can continue any ongoing training following your existing training plan. All training and husbandry is only done using positive based techniques (I do not use aversive based training). Currently I am still working as a lecturer until September. So I am only available Friday- Monday until September 4th. Should you attain my services I will be at the property full-time. So you do not need to worry about your dog being left alone. The only time your pets will be alone is if I need to go to the shop to buy food. Good relationships with a dog and parents are based on high levels of kindness and understanding. Any pet in my care will always be treated like family, where there are no limits to what you would do to give them their best life. In addition, any "house rules" or requirements will be strictly followed including pet care/lifestyle and living arrangements.

About: I have had many years experience with cats and dogs of all ages and varieties of health and behaviour issues. I am currently retired and looking to spend time being a cat or dog nanny whether it’s daycare, drop in visits or house sitting. I love going on walks along the beach and around the lakes, often stopping for a coffee which I would love to bring another companion along. I currently have a small shihpoo called Isla, she’s super friendly and loves having friends to join us on our adventures. I also provide lots of updates and photos of there adventures with me and will tailer care to best suit there needs. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. I’m a retired active lady who is happy to provide love, care and attention to your family pets. I have the time to give them the attention they need and deserve. I am currently looking to care for pets in your home. I am used to following strict medication and dietary requirements necessary to keep them safe and well. I provide all the love and care that they need and follow each owner’s wishes for their personal care.

About: Me and my husband currently have two female dogs - a Labragotto and a Dalmatian They both love to play with other dogs and are very friendly with everyone. When I leave my pets in the hands of someone else, I expect them to receive a home-from-home experience. I therefore will do the same for any pets that I care for! I will also tailor the needs for each pet according to their owners wishes. For example, I allow my pets on the furniture but if you would prefer for your pet to not be on the furniture we can amend our lifestyle to suit that! I have always been around animals growing up, I looked after my two family dogs, horses, a cat, rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters! My husband is also well versed with animals, having grown up with a dog and a cat! 🐈‍⬛ I am a student midwife and so I am not working right now which means I have all the time to spend with four-legged friends 🐾 My husband works from home, so we are both on hand for separate walk routines if needed. Our dogs require a lot of exercise, we aim to walk at least 3 times a day but we can make adjustments accordingly for dogs with various fitness requirements! I have an unfenced garden but can but can put up temporary fencing. For toilet breaks I tend to put my dogs on leads to take them out anyways which helps their lead training. The house is fully safety proofed with no hazards. There is always someone home so your pet will never be left on their own.

“Olivia has been amazing with my dog Leia this past week. Leia is always so excited and jumpy when she sees Olivia, and it’s clear she’s been so well looked after. I received updates after every walk, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for someone to walk or care for their pet. It’s safe to say Leia has made a new best friend this week!”

Both very different personalities who enjoy long adventurous walks whatever the weather I work full time but have availability on weekends set week days and understand the difficulty of leaving a fur baby behind when you go to work, and the stress of ensuring they are happy and walked I have a fenced garden, live close to woodland walks, passion for animals and watching them feel fulfilled on their daily walks. I can do weekdays before 9am and after 4pm and availability on the weekends all day.

About: I’m a huge animal lover with lots of experience dog walking and pet sitting professionally. I have professional experience caring for dogs and cats as well as voluntary animal care experience with both Guide Dogs and the RSPCA. Working with the RSPCA I cared for animals with a variety of behavioural issues. I have also cared for my own dogs, cats and Guinea pigs throughout my life. I currently have 1 small dog who gets on well with other dogs. When dog walking, I can walk dogs together or separately depending on your preference. 
I can provide drop in care and feeding for any pets as well as dog walking and daycare. 
Please get in touch with a request and I'll let you know if I can help 😊 I have good availability for pet care and walking over Summer 2025. Please get in touch and I’ll let you know if I can help! I live in a rural area with lots of quiet spots for walks. I have one small dog who any dogs in my care would need to get on with. I do live in a small flat with steps up to it. The garden is not fully secure.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life, since I was just about able to walk actually. My family, both immediate and extended, has always kept dogs and I've always made it my mission to have a good rapport with them. I'm passionate about their care and making sure they're well looked after. I have a fully enclosed garden and live 5 minutes away from Cramlington nature reserve and some wide open fields below the hospital. We're big fans of enrichment games and general playing if your dog likes it. I do understand however, that every dog is unique and some may just want to chill out on their own. Please let me know as much information as you can give about your pet and their unique personality, likes, dislikes etc. I have experience with anxious dogs and trigger issues, as my own Springer, Bailey, is an anxious lad and has various triggers when outside in the world, so I've learned a lot firsthand with him. He is a great house dog, just the world is very overwhelming for him at times. I'm currently between jobs, so I am totally free to take care of and devote all my attention to your best friend as long as they are in my care. I have a totally enclosed garden and live very close to Cramlington Nature Reserve and a multitude of other walking paths. They will be entirely free to roam the house as they please, sit on the sofas or lounge in the garden (weather permitting, of course). They will be treated as my own when in my care. Plenty of enrichment games, be it a snuffle mat, folded up kitchen roll tubes to shred etc.

About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs since I was a young child. I grew up with collies, lab and staffie mixes, and rescue cats. I currently have a very dog friendly cat if you are looking for some socialisation, but she is equally happy doing her own thing if you would prefer they remain separate. I work from home with access to a secure garden, and woodland walks only a couple of minutes from my house. I'm available all days, evenings and weekends with notice. I have a pet cat who is friendly with dogs, however she has her own secure room in the house where she can retreat to if she needs to. I have a fenced garden and a dog-friendly cat, however she can be secured away in a different part of the house if necessary. I have a crate that can be used if necessary. I drive and I am located within easy reach of several 24 hour veterinary practices.

About: I have been surrounded by and caring for animals my entire life. From a young age, I have had the pleasure of living with and looking after a diverse range of pets, including dogs, cats, horses, and parrots, to name just a few. This lifelong experience has provided me with a deep understanding of the unique needs and personalities of various animal companions. Currently based on the Fish Quay, I share my home with my own beloved snow bengal cat, Dolly. This personal experience as a pet owner further reinforces my commitment to providing compassionate, responsible, and attentive care to all animals. I am dedicated to ensuring the well-being and comfort of your pets while you are away. I am available at anytime and usually on the day for your pet sitting needs. Reach out to me and I can try my best to fit into your routine. As I currently offer pet sitting services exclusively in your pet's own home, my care is entirely focused on maintaining their routine and ensuring their comfort and well-being within their familiar environment.

About: I’m looking at starting my own dog walking/ pet sitting business, I’d like this to be my full time job! What I Offer: • hour long dog walks and outdoor adventures • Pick-up and drop-off included • Quiet routes available for reactive or nervous dogs • Full day dog walks, like a day care but out and about for the day since I live in a rental but want to offer this service!

Or if they can be in a group! ) • Cat care and drop ins, along with litter cleaning available upon request Whether your dog needs exercise, your cat needs a clean space, or your pet just needs someone who gets it, I’m here to help. Let’s give your pets the care and fun they deserve while giving you peace of mind. 💛 Little bit about me! Hi! I’m Jess, Im 22 years old and have been surrounded by animals my entire life from dogs and cats to guinea pigs, tortoises, bearded dragons, rabbits, and even chickens. Caring for a wide variety of pets has taught me how to handle them with patience, understanding, and love. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning litter trays, or creating a safe and comfortable environment, I’m happy to help. Right now, I have a rescue dog who has been very nervous and sensitive to noises so I truly understand how to work with anxious or reactive dogs. She’s come such a long way, and I’ve helped her grow more confident and calm with consistent care, training, and daily exercise. I’ve also had high-energy breeds (like german shepherds and border collies!) and know how to tailor walks and routines to fit each dog’s needs. Currently my availability is wide open! So I’d happily walk your dog or look after your pet early in the morning or later on at night! Drop in visits are also perfect for me! So I’d happily pop along and spend some time with your little one! Twice if needed! I can pick up and drop off no problem at all! If you’d be out all day I can do doggy day care for £25 however I’d be taking them out for a day trip like rothbury or forrest walks stuff like that, just because my house is a bit small and I rent but I’d like to offer this service since I have a car please get in touch tho if your interested in the doggy day care! I’d supply dog towels if it was raining or go somewhere quite sheltered also if you’d prefer me not to walk in muddy areas I can also do that! Cause I understand how bringing a muddy dog back would be a pain! When pets are in my home I try to make them as comfortable as possible! They are allowed to sit on my sofa no problem and with blankets too! With my own pets I have a set routine so they know when they are going to be fed and when going to bed since I like a routine myself! My rescues border collie likes to have her own bed so she has a cage she sleeps in at night to make her feel safe! So if your pet does to that is completely fine!

About: I’ve owned animals my whole life up until recently, after my senior pup sadly passed away! Good with puppies who need entertaining and tiring out, as well elderly pets who need a calming and more subdued presence. Looked after many of my friends pets such as cats and dogs - even my sisters tortoise! Confident with smaller animals too like hamsters and guinea pigs. Have a good inkling for training basics with puppies such as sit, wait etc. I work in the film industry and work away when I have a contract, things are very quiet at the moment so I have complete free availability to look after your pets and available at short notice for your needs! Depending on what your fur baby needs, I’ll be there! Playtime with a new young pup, someone to sit with your elderly dog and keep them company… long or short walks or someone to help with a little bit of basic training if you’re out the house all day. I’m a very easy going individual who is confident with dogs and provide the specific care they need

About: I’ve owned dogs since I was younger, of all different ages and breeds, I’ve had older dogs and pups as young as 8 weeks. I also know how to manage medication with pets as I’ve had to give my dogs syringe fed medication and tablets. My animals are like my babies so I know how much people worry when they’re away or trusting a new person so I will always make sure they are well taken care of I’m a student but I’m only in uni 2 days a week so have plenty of free time!
