House Sitting Newbiggin by the Sea

“It was really reassuring to have Eva looking after Hamish at home while we enjoyed a day out. She kept us updated and took Hamish for a long walk. Everything was in perfect order when we got home.”

“Maya was amazing from the very beginning; during the meet and greet I instantly felt comfortable with her and she engaged well with Walter. We shared information about Walter whilst he was in Mayas care and Maya took the information on board. During Walter’s care with Maya whilst we were away we received lots of updates, messages and was updated about their day. Maya went above and beyond not only ensuring Walter’s care and comfort was provided for but also ensuring my worries and anxieties as an owner leaving my dog was also met. Maya really looked out for Walter ensuring he didn’t feel lonely or withdrawn, Maya followed our instructions for Walter’s care and I am over the moon with her! I will be booking Maya again in the future and I can’t recommend her enough. Thankyou again Maya!”

About: I love looking after dogs and am always the go to dog sitter out of all my friends. I have been a dog owner myself, and love caring for dogs. I love all animals, and I'm happy to do drop-ins for any type of animal - other than spiders, I'm terrified of them! I work full time from home so will have lots of availability to support during the week and I am around on some weekends too. I have a fenced garden that is very secure so the dogs will have lots of opportunity to go outside. Adult only home with no other animals.

“Charlee was absolutely fantastic and my dog was completely at ease with her right from the off. I had no worries at all about leaving him and would certainly trust Charlee to house/dog sit again in future. Fantastic communication throughout too which made the whole process really easy.”

“What a shame there are only 5 stars, we’d give Rachael another few! What a joy! We were nervous about our holiday having only moved to the North East from the South Coast 3 weeks prior, with the dogs having gone through a lot of change. Our dogs like routine and one has a bit of anxiety, especially when it comes to separation from us. But Rachael was just absolutely amazing with them and we had trust the second we met her. She was warm and thoughtful in her first meeting with the dogs who can be nervous with new people, but they were fine from the off. On our holiday Rachael took the dogs out on loads of adventures, both local to our home and further afield and we had many PUPdates with pictures and videos of our boys throughout. We could see how comfortable they were in the pics and videos. They looked completely at ease. We arrived back to a spotlessly clean home and two incredibly happy (if not a little exhausted) dogs. We’ve had a few dog walkers and house sitters over the years, Rachael trumps them all. Honestly can’t rate her highly enough and we’re already booked in for future dates. Thanks so much Rachael!”

“Had a trial night with Craig house sitting at our home overnight with our cocker spaniel before he does a longer stay later this year while we go abroad to get married! It has put me at so much ease knowing my boy will be left in good hands without any change to his regular routine. Thank you for helping take that stress away x”

About: I grew up with Dobermans and at one point we had three in the house. I love dogs and regularly look after my friends pets both sitting and walking. Had experience of dog training, both small and bigs breads, from a border terrier to a German shepherd. Happy to go on adventurous walks, or a walk round the block and open my home up for sitting too. I work full time but have every other Friday off and can work flexibly from home for 2 days a week. I am more available at weekends however can adjust my work from home days to sit around the weekend for longer sitting opportunities. Dog walking can be before work, after work or during a lunch time on a WFH day and weekends any time. I have no pets of my own just yet. I have a garden at my home, 3 bed house with plenty of space and space downstairs for dog beds, crates or whatever is required. I am super respectful and will always follow the dog owners wishes for caring for their dog.

“João is a fantastic dog sitter! I can't recommend him any more than I have in previous reviews, but he is careful, thoughtful and very reliable”

“Volume looked after my two older dogs for the weekend. She was professional from the first meeting and the dogs were well looked after and happy and settled with her. She took great care of our house too. Would highly recommend.”

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: Experienced dog‑lover returning to Rover after some time away. I previously cared for a Spaniel of my own and have years of hands‑on experience with energetic, affectionate breeds. I offer a calm home, long walks, enrichment, and plenty of attention. I’m reliable, communicative and always send regular updates so you know exactly how your dog is doing. Pet First Aid trained and confident with a range of temperaments — your dog will be in safe, caring hands. I'm really lucky to work hybrid and flexibility 90% of my week. I am more than happy to work with parents to ensure that any alone time is limited and that their dog has the best stay possible. I’d like to think that you are getting a quality service where your dog is treated as my own and will be taken on quality nature walks whilst in my care.

“Katie took great care of my dog Lily and my home while I was away for a few days. She sent regular updates and photos of all their adventures :)”

About: I’ve absolutely loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been lucky enough to grow up surrounded by all kinds of pets. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs and more, so I’m confident adapting to different animals and their individual needs. I currently have a Shih Tzu called Teddy, who means the world to me, so I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust to care for your pet. I also have plenty of experience with cats, having looked after my own over the years, and my partner has five cats, so I’m very used to feeding, playing, cleaning litter trays and making sure each cat gets the attention and affection they need. I genuinely love spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles or simply having someone calm and reassuring around, I’ll always make sure they feel safe, happy and cared for. I’ll look after your pets with the same love, patience and care that I give Teddy, and I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind 🩷 I work in a school during term time, which means I have great availability during weekends, bank holidays, half terms and school holidays. I’m also available throughout the 6-week summer holidays, giving me plenty of flexibility for longer stays and when you may need extra support with your pets. I’m available for overnight stays, and longer periods of care during school holidays, offering reliable and loving support when you need someone you can trust with your pets 🐶🐱 Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. When caring for dogs and cats in their own home, I understand how important it is for them to remain in a familiar environment where they feel secure and relaxed. I will always take the time to learn your pet’s individual routine, personality and needs, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, favourite toys, sleeping arrangements and any specific instructions you have. I’ll make sure their environment stays clean, safe and comfortable while providing plenty of attention, enrichment, playtime and affection. I understand that every pet is different. Some may be energetic and love long walks and play, while others may prefer a quieter approach with lots of patience and reassurance. I’ll always respect their personality and make sure they receive care that suits them as an individual. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own, providing reliable and loving care while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, giving you peace of mind that your pets are happy, safe and well looked after in their own home 🩷

“Eve was fantastic with our Goose. You can tell she genuinely enjoys spending time with pets and was fab at looking after our dog. Really appreciate the last minute cover as well. Would not hesitate to book again, thanks so much!!”
