Pet Sitting Newcastle-under-Lyme

About: I've grown up around cats and dogs, and I am confident with any size or breed. I have regularly looked after friends' pets. I can work with dogs to improve lead walking or recall (using a long line for safety), and I am able to train puppies in all the basics of good manners. As I work from home for myself, I am available for doggy daycare (including weekends), walks and home visits, providing your dog with the very best care. I am not currently able to offer house sitting or evening visits or walks. I have a fully secure back garden and three friendly dogs to keep your furry best friend company. All of my dogs are fully vaccinated and comfortable around young puppies. There is also plenty of space in the house should anyone need a time out. I have areas for on and off-lead walks on the doorstep. I have a long line for your dog's safety while they enjoy access to open spaces.

“Highly recommended! I'd never used a 'cat sitter' before so was a little anxious about not only leaving my front door key but also my dear purr friend in charge of someone I'd never met before. But when I met Claire - I knew she was the right person for me - and my 16 year old Milly. Claire patiently listened to me rambling on about looking after Milly before i went away - and I was in no doubt when I went away that not only would Milly be fed, given medication twice a day, etc- but would be loved and cared for. Milly was unfortunately a bit poorly whilst I was away so Claire took her to the vets (I'd forgotten to leave my cat carrier out so she used her own) and Claire then got her some food that the vet advised.......Her twice daily visiting reports were lovely to read - and when unable to get the Rover website she updated me by WhatsApp.... I can't recommend Claire enough - she looked after Milly as if her own and I can't thank you enough for everything. Thanks Claire!!”

“Joey looked after our two cats whilst we were away. She is very responsive and kept us updated with photos. Our holiday dates changed last minute and Joey was very accommodating and flexible with this. I would definitely recommend using Joey, your fur babies will be in good hands.”

About: I am a fifth-year vet student with a strong compassion for animal care. My current role as a vet student has allowed me to solidify my confidence with handling and caring for animals of all shapes and sizes, including those with medical needs who may need extra attention. Alongside this, I have been fortunate to grow up with both cats and dogs in my childhood home, which has given me lifelong insight into the day-to-day responsibilities required when caring for our furry friends. Both of these combined allow me to provide both attentive and compassionate care to animals, ensuring that pets are kept safe and well looked after, so that owners can feel reassured while they are away. I am currently a full-time student, in my final year of Veterinary Medicine, and have a lot of flexibility on the weekends due to the fact. Alongside this, I also have availability on some weekday evenings, depending on my schedule. I provide attentive care to all animals in their own home, whilst maintaining each pet's routine to make them more comfortable and as stress-free as possible. This includes feeding, walks and playtime. I also send regular updates and photos of your furry friends for extra peace of mind.

“Hollie was great with our cats, would 100% recommend her services. One of our cats can be scared around new people, but both cats seemed relaxed during and after we got home, even had a couple of updates which was lovely. Thanks again 😊”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced cat and dog owner, currently sharing my home with Spooky, my 12-year-old cat, and Nenya, my energetic 3-year-old corgi. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and boundaries. I’m patient, attentive and happy to tailor each visit to what makes your pet feel most comfortable - whether that means an engaging walk, plenty of playtime, a quiet cuddle or simply giving a cautious cat the space to approach me in their own time. I regularly care for pets belonging to those in my personal network and will treat yours with the same care and affection I give my own. I’m reliable, respectful of your home and will keep you reassured with thoughtful updates and plenty of photos while your pet is in my care. **Please note that I’m unavailable for daytime visits on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, but I may still be available during the evenings on these days.** I work hybrid as a communications specialist, giving me flexibility across the week for walks and drop-in visits, particularly on my home-working days. I’m also available during many evenings and weekends and will always confirm that I can comfortably fit your pet’s full routine around my schedule before accepting a booking. Every pet is different, so I take time to understand their personality, routine and boundaries, following their owner’s instructions carefully. At home, I care for Spooky, my 13-year-old cat, and Nenya, my playful 3-year-old corgi, so I’m very familiar with balancing different temperaments and needs. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, attentive to pet safety, and committed to providing reliable updates throughout every booking. For additional reassurance, I have completed both DBS and credit checks for my day-to-day work.

About: I am a reliable and friendly pet carer who loves building a strong bond with every pet I care for and their owners! I’m happy to walk your fur babies, provide drop-in visits and/or house sit. Dog-care experience: I started walking dogs last year through BMD and have experience with a range of breeds and personalities, from Dachshunds and Cockapoos to Labradors. I have also cared for senior dogs and more challenging dogs including those who have limited recall, are strong leash pullers, or who experience attachment issues when separated from their owners. I’m comfortable adapting my approach to suit each individual dog which may include implementing training techniques such as clickers, squeakers and, of course, plenty of treats! I also have experience house-sitting while providing pet care and have developed strong, trusting relationships with previous owners and their pets. References can be provided upon request. Cat-care experience: I also have a fur baby of my own🐱 (which means I don’t offer daycare or boarding - sorry!) This has given me experience with cat care too, including feeding, litter cleaning and, most importantly, plenty of playtime and cuddles. I can’t wait to become your pet’s new best friend!❤️ I’m currently a medical student, which means I’m usually unavailable Monday–Friday, 9–5 during term time. However, I’m very happy to provide care outside of these hours, as well as during weekends and university holidays! I’m also very active and love getting outdoors and going on hikes to stay fit. I’d love to bring your fur baby along on my adventures, if they’re up for it! 🐾🥾❤️ I don’t offer day care or boarding, however I’m more than happy to house-sit once I’ve established a bond with you and your pet. Before any house-sit, I like to establish a bond with your pet and understand their usual routine. This means understanding their individual needs, including feeding schedule, walks, medication, and any house rules you have. I’ll also ask you for their vet details, emergency contact details and what to do should anything unexpected happen while you’re away. I’ll do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own, ensuring it is secure, clean and tidy throughout the stay. I’m more than happy to keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is being well looked after.

About: I am an animal lover who has had furry companions for most of my life. I’m currently a fourth year veterinary student who is very used to working around a range of different pets. Additionally I have a dog and 2 cats however with being so far from home during uni i definitely miss them and would love any opportunity to look after your pets!Email any preferences you have for your dog whilst they are in my care ie. any specific food they need or if you feel comfortable with your dog being off the lead etc. Currently my I am able to do evenings on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday due to uni commitments, however the rest of the days I’m available any time. I also have a car so I can easily get to your pet for any services you book. I’ll prioritise yours and your pets need when I’m pet sitting in your house, so that everyone if comfortable and well looked after. Having a car means I’m willing to drive to places which provide your dog with scenic and adventurous walks.

About: I’ve been caring for others cats and dogs for a few years now but started walking and sitting over the last two years. Many in my village have trusted me to care for both their cats and dogs including household with both. I love animals and have been known to take great care of the animals in the owners absence. I’m currently a full time uni student with time to spare especially at weekends. However I have free time during the week to take your pet out for walks or toilet breaks. In owners homes I have put the pet in a crate over night and managed the areas the pet is allowed to go well. I take great care of your furry family members as well as the home. I’ve administered eye drops and medications along with food and breaks outside for your pets.

About: I’ve taken primary care of the family pets since I was 12, so 10 years now!, miss them like crazy now I’m student so far from home! I have petsitted for neighbours, friends, family members, and have dog walked for them too. New to ‘professional’ pet sitting but I hope my reliability, knowledge, and love for animals shines through in everything I do :) I’m a third year university student! so obviously when that starts again I have a few hours a week for lectures where I’m not available but other than that, I’m free! I’m super flexible so just let me know when you need me and I’ll have plenty of time to visit, care, or walk whoever needs it! I do not feel safe/comfortable boarding dogs where I live as it is a student accommodation. However I am attentive and a quick learner so will pick up quickly on safety/care requirements in your own home and respect your privacy if/when I am within it (I’m mostly focused on the pets anyway! haha). I’m familiar with the local area and many of the people (and dogs!) within it. I have an ID and references from friends/family available on request if you want me to prove my identity or my past experience (understandable!)

About: Hi hi!! I'm Phoxx! I've always had dogs in my life since I was young, ranging from giant breeds to miniature breeds, and now as a keen adventurer that goes on frequent hikes I wouldn't mind some extra fluffy company occasionally. I am currently self-employed which allows me to pick which days i go out, so when caring for you fluffy family members I have the ability to take tike off and focus on them. If your pups are at my home, any times that I do need to pop out, my partner will be at home so the house is never empty. Especially with my beagle around to play with. I drive and have access to my a motorcycle and a car so I am happy to house sit for you during the day or simply pop in to make sure your pal has some company and fuss for a while. Due to the size of my house and having my own dog, I currently don't offer boarding for unknown dogs, but we can start at day care and go from there 😊 We have a big sun-trap of a garden that they are free to roam when the weather is nice, get frequent toilet breaks and I also go for walks to my local large field and sometimes down to a friends dog park too (if they're ok in the car) I only work part-time and it's usually based from home. I am never out of the house for long and have plenty of time to look after your furry friends! I have a large faced yard and my own dog to keep your companion company. We spend lots of time doing cuddles and play time as well as more relaxing nap times.

About: I am currently a vet student and my whole world revolves around animals. I have done dog sitting and walking for 5 years now and love it! I am passionate to provide the most loving care for all animals with constant play and cuddles. Due to being a vet student I am in class every week day but I am very happy to spend my time in the evenings and weekends looking after your pets as well as during breaks and holidays. I have done housesitting various times, sometimes for a day and other times up to a week. I always like to meet owners and pets at least once before coming to stay in the house and make sure we’re a good match. It’s important that the animal gets to know me and trusts me before I sit as well as answer any questions beforehand.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, both in the home and outdoors, so caring for them comes naturally to me. For the past 5 years, I’ve been a proud owner of Zara, my Golden Retriever, and for 8 years I’ve had my cat, Feli. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal with patience, love, and attention, just like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for at all times. I work from home while my two children are at nursery (morning–5 PM), so I have plenty of time to care for dogs, provide walks, and give them constant attention in a calm environment. I offer a safe and secure environment with a fully fenced garden. My dog is friendly and well-behaved, and my cat is calm and used to other animals. I always supervise pets to ensure a safe, relaxed, and loving atmosphere.

About: I spent 14 years caring for my own Labrador, so I understand the daily rhythm dogs and cats need — regular walks, feeding times, and plenty of attention. Alongside that, I've helped friends and neighbours look after their dogs and cats whenever they've gone on holiday, covering everything from walks and feeding to daily drop-in visits to check in, play, and keep them company. I know how much peace of mind it gives you to know your pet is in safe, familiar hands while you're away. Whether it's a daily walk, a feeding visit, or a full day of company, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, consistency, and genuine care. I'm based in Stoke-on-Trent. I'm happy to discuss your pet's specific routine and needs before we get started. My schedule gives me great flexibility for regular care. On Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I'm free all day and can offer morning, midday, or evening dog walks, along with drop-in visits at any time that suits you. Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I'm at university, so I'm generally available in the evening. On weekends, I'm available in the afternoons around my work schedule. I'm happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet's routine. For dogs, I focus on giving them plenty of exercise with long walks, along with lots of playtime and attention throughout the visit. For cats, I bring that same energy minus the walks — spending time playing, engaging with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and looked after while their owners are away. Whether it's a quick drop-in or a longer visit, my goal is to make sure every pet gets genuine attention, not just the basics.

“Great cat sitter! Good communication throughout, and took great care of my cat, and sent plenty of photos. Would recommend!”

About: I have a Level 3 Diploma in Animal Management, where I learned about animal care, behaviour, and welfare. I’ve also volunteered at a variety of kennels, gaining hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I have walked dogs for other people, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need. I also grew up with a cat from when I was born until I was 12, which gave me a good understanding of cat care and behaviour. I work full time during the week, but I’m available for overnight stays from Friday evening after work, all day and overnight on Saturdays, and Sundays until late evening. I’ll always make sure pets get plenty of attention, care, and routine during the time I’m with them. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walks, medication if needed, and any house rules. I take a calm and patient approach so pets feel relaxed and secure, and I make sure they are always supervised and well cared for. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.

About: I've grown up with a Doberman, when I went to uni I volunteered at a dogs home for 1 year and since then I volunteered at a specialist German Shepherd rescue centre in Portsmouth and used BorrowMyDoggy for a year. Currrently on long term leave before a winter seasonal job, I cannot own a dog of my own due to my lifestyle being incompatible. I've grown up with big dogs and have previously worked with german shepherd rescue centres and other rotweillers, they are just big lovable giants. I'm that friend that thinks 15 miles is walkable, love any excuse to get outside, I'm also getting back into my running after an injury, so happy to bring the four legged friends along on training days.
