Pet Boarding Newbiggin by the Sea

“Pete is absolutely brilliant and a natural with dogs. This is the first time we have left our dog overnight and we were nervous on how he would settle. Our worries immediately disappeared as Pete welcomed Eddie warmly and he bonded with him straight away. He has a lovely house and garden and Eddie enjoyed spending time there and also going on walks. Thank you for a great time Pete!”

“Larissa was an absolute lifesaver! We needed someone to look after our dog, Bailey, on extremely short notice, and she stepped up without missing a beat. From the moment we dropped Bailey off, Larissa put all our last-minute worries completely to rest. She kept us updated with lovely photo updates and treated Bailey just like one of her own. He came home relaxed, thoroughly spoilt, and as happy as could be! We are so grateful for how warm, accommodating, and flexible Larissa was with such a late booking. I couldn't recommend her enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”

“Andy was a lucky last minute booking - and I am so pleased that we found him. You can tell he loves dogs, is incredibly experienced and most importantly, he cares deeply. Luna had a lovely weekend with Andy and family, I can’t recommend him enough, and we will certainly be back! Absolute first class pet care.”

Adam P.

“Would 100% recommend! Luna really enjoyed her stay, settled in really quickly and we got lots of daily updates. Thank you so much for looking after our baby 😊”

Helen W.

“Lauren was very accommodating especially with my loose timeframes which was very helpful and very much appreciated! Ralphy had a good stay and got to interact with another dog which definitely helped his own anxiety of being left! Lauren helped my own anxiety by sending updates over text and was super nice throughout! Would hugely recommend to everyone 😁”

“We’ve just collected our dog from a weeks stay with Tracey and Stu. Can’t thank them both enough for putting our minds at rest, enabling us to enjoy a week abroad. We received regular update's, with photos and videos of her and she was very happy with them being spoilt. Nothing was a problem for them both with Betsy still being young and has a lot of energy. We will definitely be using them again. Thank you both again.”

About: I have cared for dogs since I was 11 years old and currently have a two-and-a-half-year-old Cockapoo in the UK. Alongside caring for my own dog, I have experience looking after both small and large breeds, as well as raising cats and rabbits in my home country. Dogs staying with me will enjoy daily visits to the nearby park, with at least two 30-minute walks or play sessions each day. With the owner’s permission and where it is safe, they can also enjoy off-lead play. I am patient, attentive and always take the time to understand each dog’s individual personality and routine, treating every pet as part of my own family. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved and at home while their family is away. I am a PhD student with a flexible schedule, and my partner is at home full-time, so dogs staying with us will have plenty of company, attention and supervision throughout the day. Our usual routine includes three outdoor trips at around 9 am, 3 pm and 8 pm, with walks, playtime, sniffing and games of fetch in the large park just two minutes from our home. Between walks, dogs are free to relax, play and spend time with us at home. We also do our best to follow each dog’s usual feeding, walking and sleeping routine, so they can settle in quickly and feel comfortable and at home. We live in a spacious two-storey house with plenty of room for dogs to relax, play and move around comfortably. A large park is only a one-minute walk from our home, making regular exercise and outdoor time easy. Dogs are not routinely kept in crates, although we can follow their usual crate routine if requested. All guest dogs are welcome on the sofa, and dogs under 30 kg may sleep on the bed with the owner’s permission. We carefully follow all care instructions and make sure every dog is well supervised throughout their stay. I also keep detailed records of your dog’s daily routine and wellbeing, including their meals, walks, toilet habits, mood, behaviour and any other important changes, so you can easily keep track of how they are doing. Regular photo and video updates are provided throughout the stay, together with detailed status updates, so you’ll always know your dog is safe, happy and having fun. Photos are shared in a way that allows owners to easily view and save them as lovely memories of their dog’s stay.

“Excellent . Molly dog had the best of times”

“Lauren was absolutely amazing with Wilf, it is the first time we have left him with him only being 4 months old but he could not of been in better hands. She sent us regular updates and he had an absolute blast. Lauren is just the loveliest person and we have already booked her again for when we go on holiday, I can not recommend her enough ❤️”

Jodie H.

“Julie was amazing with Joey. She made him feel right at home, was so loving and caring, and kept me updated with lots of photos throughout his stay. She really took the time to understand his needs and adapted to him effortlessly. It was clear how much she cared for him, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Joey with Julie again. Highly recommend!”

“Nala had another great stay at Rebecca’s, this time for a week! There were no issues at all and communication was great. I would 100% recommend, and Nala will be visiting more often 😁”

About: We have experience caring for puppies, different breeds and dogs with varying temperaments. Through raising Nala, our 6 month old Red Fox Labrador, Myself and my partner Julia have developed hands on experience with puppy training, socialisation and establishing routines. We have also cared for nervous dogs and dogs with separation anxiety through family and friends, and are comfortable administering medication when required. Me and Julia both work Monday to Friday, with some flexibility depending on our shifts and occasional work from home days. We’re primarily available for boarding at weekends, with weekday availability on selected weeks. At weekends, we’re both home and able to give dogs plenty of attention, walks, play and company throughout their stay. We have a secure, fully enclosed garden and a dog friendly home where dogs are welcome on the furniture. We have two spare rooms, allowing visiting dogs to have their own comfortable space if needed. Our Labrador, Nala, is friendly and well socialised with other dogs. We always arrange a meet and greet beforehand to make sure every dog is comfortable and a good match. We’re also happy to follow individual routines, provide medication and walk dogs separately where required.

About: Been around dogs most of my life:) Cared for a range including Golden retrievers, Cavapoos, Huskies, Malamutes, Border Collies, Daschunds, Pugs & Frenchies. I’ve moved over from Jersey and miss having doggy company! Love the chance to care for and spoil some pups again! I can work from home and my hours are flexible to work around the pups needs when doing so! Plus I already require daily walks myself 😆 I’m afraid I can’t commit to open ended repeat walks/visits as availability fluctuates so requests would require an end date. Also for bookings much further away I may need to add a couple quid to the rate just to cover my travel (as Rover takes a fair bit!) but that can be discussed on a case by case basis :) I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or staying at your home, I’ll stick to their usual routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they’re well cared for. On walks, I keep things safe and go at their pace. My goal is to make sure your pet feels relaxed and loved until you’re back, tailoring to their individual needs! For stays in my own home, I should note that I have a housemate so it wouldn’t just be me around the dog.
