“Roza did a fantastic job of looking after our elderly cat when we were away. She was so kind, caring and trustworthy. I would recommend her to anyone. It allowed us to relax more whilst away knowing he was in safe hands”
2. John F.
“John is a lovely character and is great with animals. He loves dogs and has spent a lot of time with our dog over the years, as well as looking after dogs for members of his family. I fully trust him with our dog, and our dog loves to spend time with him too :)”
3. Sarah A.
“I have known Sarah for a number of years and she has always been hugely interested in and loved animals of all sorts, and shown great care for those she has personally looked after, both her own and other people's, including dogs and cats through to guinea pigs and hens. I've been very happy for her to look after my cat many times when I've been away. Sarah has a natural affinity with animals, and gets obvious pleasure from caring for, and playing and working with, dogs and cats in particular. Her enthusiasm for doing this is one of the reasons she can look after and bond so well with such a range of people's canine and feline family members. Additionally, she is hard working, meticulous in her research and application, trustworthy, a good communicator, and above all dedicated to providing the best support she can to both pet and owner. Yes, she even gets on with humans quite well too!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for two years, including participating in a school dog-walking program and regularly looking after friends’ dogs. My experience includes handling a variety of breeds, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to older dogs requiring special care. I’m attentive to their needs and committed to providing a safe and loving environment. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I schedule regular walks, feeding times, and play sessions to ensure the pets are active, healthy, and happy. I also dedicate time for grooming, training, and giving them attention throughout the day. Whether it’s daily check-ins or extended stays, I prioritize their well-being and adjust my schedule to meet their needs. I primarily care for pets in the owner’s home to ensure they remain in a familiar and comfortable environment. I follow the owner’s routine for feeding, walking, and any special instructions, such as administering medication or specific care needs. I make sure the pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also keeping the home clean and secure during my stay. This helps the pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away.

“For many years I have entrusted Airlie to look after my pets ( 3 dogs, a Labrador, whippet and pug ) I'm glad to say I'm so pleased with the quality of care and enthusiasm she has, not only for dogs but all kinds of animals, is just wonderful to see! A lovely girl who you can defiantly trust!!”
7. Anastasia A.
“To whom it may concern, Anastasia is a great candidate for a pet sitter. Not only is she loving and caring for all the animals she encounters but she is also responsible and thoughtful when it comes to looking after pets. We lived together whilst she was looking after a lovely black cat called Nori. I watched her take care and being considerate of Nori's needs every single day. I'm sure that she would excell at taking care of another pet! Kind regards, Aleksandra Wojciechowska”
8. Nicole L.
About: Hi, I’m Nicole – your pet's new best friend! 🐾 I’m a 19-year-old student currently living in Newcastle, and I’d love to help look after your dogs/cats! I'm happy to take them for walks or give them some company or playtime whilst you're out. I grew up in a dog-loving family, and we have a 4-year-old Doberman at home who I've looked after since 2020. Through my experience with my own dog and others I’ve walked and cared for, I’ve worked with a variety of breeds and sizes. I've also had experience cat sitting. Since I live in university accommodation, I’m unable to bring dogs to my place, but I’m more than happy to visit your home to care for your pet/s. I’m genuinely passionate about animals and will treat yours as if they’re my own. There’s nothing I love more than spending time with animals! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, friendly, and experienced to care for your pets in Newcastle, I’d be thrilled to help. Whether it’s a one-off walk or regular check-ins, I’ll be happy with either. Feel free to reach out, and let’s chat about how I can help out! 🐕 I am a university student, so I have a lot of free time around my studies. I am flexible with timings, whether it's weekends, weekdays, mornings or evenings. I'm also more than happy to set up regular walks/visits. I live in student accommodation, so unfortunately will not be able to care for your pet/s in my own home, but I'm happy to come to your home and make sure your animals are happy, safe and in good health.
9. Alice R.
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and I love to spend time with them. I have had dogs from puppies so am familiar with training and I have had rescue dogs too so can cater to their needs. I work part time so I can be there for your pets often and they will never be left unattended for long periods of time. I am also flexible for house sittings I live on a first floor flat however there is a yard area at the back and garden at the front of the property and I am close to jesmond dene, so a good location for walks.

She is an animal lover at her core and we often exchange stories about our adventures with our animals. She’s a great person and I would trust her with my own animals.”

“Thank you Janire! (:”
12. João M.
“João took excellent care of Lisbela (my senior Labrador) and Mwanito (my cat) while staying at our house during our travels. He sent us plenty of videos and pictures, showing the love and attention he gave to our pets. In addition, João is incredibly organized and left our house tidy and spotless upon our return. Communication with João was seamless, and he was always kind and thoughtful. I couldn't recommend him more highly. Our pets adore João! Thanks to him, we can travel with peace of mind, knowing our home and furry family members are in the best hands.”
13. Lucy T.
“Lucy loves animals and has had pets since she was a child - dogs , a cat, hens,ducks,geese and rabbits. She has recently been helping to train our 1 year "rescue dog" ( spaniel cross ) which we have had for 4 months , to improve his recall and reduce his jumping up "habit" . She is very perceptive to his needs, patient and consistent with his training. The dog , Teddy adores her and dances around when she enters the room. I think she would be a reliable dog walker/carer engaging with the dog(s) , and she is trustworthy, and fit to take them on a decent walk.”
14. Holly M.

About: Since i was a baby we’ve had animals at home. I’ve worked with multiple horses since I was 12 and always took care of my dogs and cats. At the moment im writing my thesis for my study, so other than that I have a lot of free time to take care of animals. So because of this im very open to any time of the day.

18. Yingshan C.
About: I have the skills and experience to care for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets with special needs. I’ll treat your pets like my own because they’re angels, and I’m all about keeping them happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Personally, I have a 7-year-old cat called Messi at home. Although I am now abroad, I still catch up with my parents who are currently taking care of him. In the previous years, lots of family members and friends said he must have been taken good care of. “Love is the key for taking of pets” that’s how I replied. I’m currently an international student here in Newcastle uni. I don’t have any part time job so I have flexible spare time after classes :) Personally, I am a patient and tolerant person and I love pets. Being observant is one of my strengths which allows me to notice pets conditions pretty quickly.

Megan, an avid animal lover has a natural ability to bond with animals and pays close attention to their individual needs, whether it's daily walks, playtime, or administering special care. Her reliability and warm, attentive nature make her an excellent choice for any pet owner looking for someone they can trust with their furry family members.
