House Sitting in Newcastle-under-Lyme

About: ✨ Safe, Experienced Dog Care ✨ I’ve spent 32 years caring for my own dogs and recently lost my beloved dog of 17 years. I know how important trust is when leaving your furry family member with someone new. With a secure garden, a home-from-home environment, and the ability to be present throughout the day, your dog will feel loved, safe, and cared for. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I work from home most days, so I’m able to give your dog plenty of attention, companionship, and regular walks throughout the day. My evenings and weekends are free, making it easy for me to offer full-time care, including overnight stays when needed. I’m happy to care for your dog either in my own home or in yours — whichever makes your dog feel most comfortable. At my home, your dog will enjoy a safe, secure garden, plenty of walks, and all the cuddles and company they need throughout the day. If you prefer care in your own home, I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine, keeping everything familiar and stress-free. Whether it’s feeding, medication, walks, or bedtime snuggles, I’ll make sure your dog feels loved, safe, and settled.

About: Hi I am Gracie, I’m a 2nd-year vet student at Harper & Keele Veterinary School and currently work in a kennels and cattery, giving me plenty of hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I also have a family dog at home, so I’m very used to day-to-day dog care, training, and walks. I’m confident, reliable, and comfortable handling all kinds of dogs. I am fully insured with public liability insurance to put your mind at ease. I’m available for walks and drops ins most mornings, lunchtimes, and evenings. I’m free all day on Wednesdays and Sundays, and on Saturdays I can do mornings and evenings. For pet sitting / staying at your home, I’m available any time. Please note that I’m at uni from 9am–5pm, but I can come back during lunch as long as you’re not too far away. I provide pet care in your home only, as I can’t host animals in my rented house. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine the same—feeding, walks, play, and any specific instructions you give. Safety and comfort are my priorities, and I’m experienced with both dogs and cats. I also send regular updates so you know how they’re doing.

About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my life with now looking after 2 puppies full time. Training from basic tricks like paw and sit to more technical tricks like roll over and lie down. Also helpful with toilet training and walking dogs without pulling. Currently a university student and so just ask you check in with me for my availability at present time as this can change due to university timetable I live with my fiance in a semi detached property. Huge garden space that's safe and securely fenced in. We do have 2 dogs ourselves, both pugs and very friendly and playful.

About: I’m a 3rd year vet student with lots of experience working with both dogs and cats over the years. I’ve worked at rescue centres, doggy day care facilities and vet practices and I’ve also taken care of pets for family and neighbours. I absolutely love animals. I’m really passionate about making sure they’re happy healthy and well looked after while their owners are away. Pet care fits well into my routine, especially during the summer. I’m currently on a break from school/placement, which means I have availability during various weeks throughout the summer. While my schedule isn’t open for the entire summer, I do have flexibility during certain weeks and am happy to dedicate that time to caring for pets, whether it’s for walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. I make sure the home is pet proof by removing hazards keeping an eye on doors and windows. I also follow any specific instruction from the owner regarding feeding walks or medication to ensure their pets routine is maintained. I will send owners regular updates with photos and details on how their pet is doing. I’ll make sure to give their pets, plenty of attention, affection and playtime making them feel at ease while their family is away.

“We had such a good experience with Charlie! He took wonderful care of our standard poodle and Labrador retriever while we were away. Both dogs absolutely adored him- it's clear from the photos and video we were sent and they were happy and cared for. His communication was excellent, keeping us updated throughout the stay and making us feel completely at ease. We could tell he really paid attention to our dogs’ needs and routines. We highly recommend and would definitely book Charlie again!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for feathered friends and four-legged companions alike. I currently share my home with a chatty cockatiel, a charming miniature dashund , and a few aquatic pets — so my life is happily filled with wagging tails, chirps, and the calming sound of bubbling water! I love a good challenge and truly believe every animal deserves compassion, patience, and respect. I understand that some pets may come from difficult backgrounds or have trust issues — and I’m here to offer the time and gentle care they need to feel safe and understood. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I usually walk up to 3 times but can tailor walks to your dog’s energy level and needs—whether that’s a gentle stroll or a good run across the nearby fields. Because I work from home, your pet will enjoy all-day company and interaction, minimising stress and separation anxiety. I will be respectful of your pet’s routine and boundaries and of course can give Daily updates and photos so you know your furry friend is happy and comfortable. I have a large, securely fenced garden with plenty of space for dogs to play fetch, explore, or simply relax in the fresh air. We’re surrounded by local dog walks and open fields, including quiet areas ideal for nervous or reactive dogs who need a little more space and calm.

“Amelia was excellent with Rocky and I felt at ease leaving him with her straight away! She arrived promptly and was very polite. Rocky was very comfortable with her and she kept me updated with how Rocky was getting on whilst we were away. Would definitely recommend and will use again!”

About: I've had a poodle for 8 years now and we've just introduced a second one into the home. They are our world and love walks and cuddles. I am looking to leave my current role to be able to take this on full time. Fingers crossed it takes off and we can fit around you. Fenced garden for play time. Lots of nice walks in the local area as well where they can be off lead and run around whilst chasing balls.

About: I have loved animals since I was a child, and have always had cats & dogs as family members. I respect all animals deeply, and seeing them suffer is unbearable to me. Evidently, I am vegan. I am currently free for pet care at any and all times, day and/or night, irrespective of the total number of hours or days that are needed — but this has to be close to my home. I evidently tailor my care to each specific animal and environment — but my immense love and care is always the same for all of them.

About: I've had a dog my whole life, I've done dog walking and dog sitting for 3 months last November, I have volunteered at a dog kennels, overall I'm a massive dog lover however I have also owned my own cats previously. I'm a big animal lover with a big heart and most of the time animals are my favourite being. I'm currently available whole of January due to no work and time off, however I will be going back doing part time and I can adjust my shifts to when I need to be available but for the most of the time I will have at least one weekend day available and 2 weekdays free. we have a fenced off back garden and fields near by where I take my dog for a walk, we also have cage space available and with the dog of my own, i hope it provides him with fun too as he loves playing with other dogs.
