“Anna and her husband looked after Koko over the weekend and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. They were very responsive from the start and kept us updated throughout his stay with messages, photos, and videos, which gave us real peace of mind. They were both incredibly supportive and helpful, and it was clear that Koko was well cared for and comfortable. I truly think he really enjoyed his little staycation with them! We would absolutely recommend Anna and her husband and wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.”
“Rebecca was fantastic and bruno really enjoyed his stay with her family and making friends with her dog Douglas. Rebecca kept myself and my partner updated during bruno's stay with plenty of pictures and messages to re assure us he was safe and loving his life. Bruno will definitely be returning ☺️”
“Jake was an excellent sitter and so kind too. We had to find somewhere for saffy to go whilst my partner was in hospital giving birth. Jake was so good, he listened to instructions, he fed her properly, he was so flexible and he even gave us a gift to congratulate us on the birth of our son. Will definitely be using Jake again. Thanks Jake.”
“As soon as Juno, our border terrier, met Jessica at the meet and greet, it was clear that they were going to get on. She then showed no anxiety when I left her for our week away. Jessica then sent me photos and updates and I was completely reassured that she was enjoying her stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jessica as she clearly loves dogs.”
“Yvonne and David are so lovely, we felt from the meet & greet that our boys would be well looked after, and they definitely were! They dealt with Kenny's anxiety and Geoff's general grumpiness so well, we weren't ever worried about them. We also got great pics and videos, absolutely going to rebook.”
“Erin and Alex were incredible with Tec; caring, lovely and excellent communicators. I'll definitely be asking for help when I need a sitter again. I was especially grateful for the brilliant updates and time Erin and Alex took to meet, greet and later make sure Tec settled and was comfortable. Would recommend”
About: Before coming to the UK, I was basically a mom of 7 dogs. Spending time with them is never tiring . Aren't they little angles ✨ I have flexibility since its summer and I have no school. Pet care just kinda slips into your day—like feeding your furry overlord when you wake up, going on poop patrol during walks, and brushing enough fur to make a second pet. Once a week, it’s spa day When I’m caring for pets—whether in my home or someone else’s—it’s all about creating a safe, cozy vibe they can trust. I pet-proof the space (no sneaky snacks or chewable cords!), stick to their routine so they feel secure, and shower them with affection
“Phoebe is an excellent sitter. Great communication and nothing was too much trouble. After making a mistake with the drop off time (my fault), Phoebe quickly sorted it out with no drama. We would highly recommend Phoebe and look forward to using her again in the future. Thank you so much”
“Grace was wonderful with our new puppy and was very welcoming to our situation. Since he is only 11 weeks old and hasn’t had his second vaccination yet, we needed someone who could care for him on his own, without other dogs around. Grace gave us frequent updates and photos, which was very reassuring. Oscar seemed to love his stay so much that he almost didn’t want to leave! We would definitely recommend her.”
“Great updates throughout the day. Some lovely pics. Our pup loved being there he had some great walks. Followed all the directions left, and he came back home happy as Larry! Will definitely book again”
“I don’t even know where to start, I genuinely couldn’t have wished for a more caring and loving person to look after my boy 🥹♥️. He’s a very high energy working cocker and she had him sleeping on the sofa within the first few hours. She took him on so many amazing adventures and he had loads of different experiences that I really doubt he wants to be home! From the first meeting she had a mini interview where she asked me absolutely everything about Pickle. What he likes, what each command means, his favourite toys, treats, you name it. From that moment I knew he was going to be in good hands 🥰 I would take him back to Julie in a heartbeat, I’ve never felt relaxed leaving him with anyone and now finally I feel I can enjoy having time away for the first time since having Pickle ♥️🥒”
“Lyudmila has been professional though out Dizzie stay with message also pictures and walks . Lyudmila listened to Dizzie when she’s needed go to the toilet also for her walks . Nothing was a problem to Lyudmila she made me so comfortable for Dizzie to stay at her lovely home . Also it’s home to home for Dizzie . I will be booking again for Dizzie at Lyudmila .”
About: I have many years of experience handling pets. As well as my own pets, I've looked after dogs and cats of family and friends, and provided long and short term paid sitting. Most recently, when I lived in Australia, I petsit dogs and cats through the app TrustedHouseSitters. I also volunteered at a dog sanctuary and assisted in the care of foster dogs, including a puppy and several nervous/traumatised dogs. I'm an active individual who loves running (sometimes even with my dogs!). I'm also reliable and have a good command with animals. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior cats and dogs as well as anxious dogs and rescues. I genuinely love animals and appreciate the opportunity to be a secondary safe space for someone's pet. I'm job hunting at the moment, so I have an almost completely free schedule to take care of pets big and small! I'm in Gosforth so I live close to a number of green spaces and I love having company while visiting them! My house is perfect for pets, with a spacious downstairs to explore and a fenced back garden. I'm a responsible and respectful carer and I love developing bonds with animals through walks, cuddles and playtime. Their safety, comfort and enjoyment would be my top priority.
“Jessica is a lovely, warm and friendly person and has an obvious love and enthusiam for dogs. Our dog Dexter had an overnight stay with Jessica when we visited Gateshead and he had a wonderful time, going for walks and making friends with Jessica's own dog. We had great communication before and during Dexter's stay. As we left Dexter was virtually hugging Jessica goodbye! I'm only sorry we live so far away as I would use Jessica on a regular basis and will do so if we visit the area again, I can't recommend her highly enough.”
About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs, including my own Shih Tzu, so I understand their needs and personalities deeply. I’m gentle, patient, and great with both playful pups and senior dogs. I focus on comfort, trust, and keeping each dog happy, safe, and loved—just like they deserve. I work part-time on weekends from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m., so I’m free most afternoons and weekdays to walk, play, and care for dogs. Spending time with them fits easily into my routine—it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to every day! I treat every dog as if they were my own. In a pet owner’s home, I follow their routine carefully—feeding, walking, and playtime just as instructed. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, keeping their space clean and cozy while giving them plenty of attention and affection.
“Lovely family who have took amazing care of Eddie. Kept up to date with lovely photos and you could clearly see how happy and content Eddie was. Thank you so much. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for the best care for their dogs!”
“Truffles had such a great time at Avi's place! We were immediately reassured at the meet and greet, and Avi and his wife shared regular photos and updates. She settled in so well and we had no worries while we were away. Thank you :)”
“Doris and her family did a fantastic job caring for Reggie this week. We got lots of updates and photos. I think Reggie has been really well looked after and welcomed into their family. No issues at all. Would defo book again!”
“Jack's first (and definitely NOT his last!) stay with Ros & Charles. They welcomed Jack into their home & looked after him so well for us, he settled in straight away. He's an anxious border collie, but they took all his "foibles" into their plans, and made sure he was always happy. We had regular updates & some lovely photos. He got 10/10 on his end of stay report - lots of positive feedback! Ros & Charles have a wonderfully safe enclosed garden, and live on a nice quiet road, so it was perfect for Jack. Looking forward to booking him in with them again soon! Highly recommended.”

I cannot recommend Rebecca highly enough! She looked after our Golden Retriever, Simba, and gave him the most wonderful care while we were away on very short notice. She was very thorough from the start. She kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear from the updates just how happy and comfortable Simba was. He was treated like one of the family — happily sitting on the couch with Rebecca and her lovely 2-year-old son, which was so heartwarming to see. The care, attention, and affection she showed Simba were exceptional. It genuinely felt as though he was her own pet. Knowing he was so loved and well looked after made all the difference. Thank you, Rebecca, for everything you did for Simba. We are incredibly grateful, and I know Simba will miss you very much!

I had a wonderful experience with Sarah through Rover. She took care of Coco with so much love, attention, and dedication. From the very beginning, she was so kind, warm, and genuinely caring. It really shows how much she loves dogs. Coco settled in so quickly with her and was clearly very happy and comfortable the entire time. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in such loving hands. Sarah was amazing with updates she shared pictures every day, and it was so lovely to see Coco enjoying herself. She even took her on little walks and short hikes, which Coco absolutely loved! What I appreciated the most was how attentive and understanding Sarah was-she really took the time to know Coco and cared for her like her own. I'm truly grateful, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to leave Coco with her again. Highly, highly recommend Sarah to anyène looking for someone trustworthy and full of love
Louise gave me regular daily updates, and put my mind at ease as it was the first time I’d left my angel for a week. Louise also took her on little dog adventures and made sure she was well cared for in the hot weather. Easy to communicate with, and I could tell my little darling was safe and sound.
Milena was absolutely fantastic with Griffin, and put so much effort in to comfort him on his first night away from home. Fantastic communication with lots of photos and updates, and very accommodating and understanding of our last minute booking. Overall great experience thank you!
Anna was amazing with our boy. We've used Rover quite a few times and up until Anna not a single one of them hit the mark with his care. I do get anxious when leaving him and Anna really put me at ease, I had multiple updates throughout his time with her, which not only showed our dog was well taken care of but he was so relaxed and clearly having a good time! I would 100% recommend Anna, she is very caring, understanding, flexible and kind. Thank you Anna ❤️
Perfect as always! Arthur has had a great time and made a doggy friend who he is missing already! Michaela is great with his special diet and making sure he is walked first thing when it is this hot. She is great with giving updates, photos and making sure he is really well taken care of.
Would definitely recommend Kerry and her partner. Great communication we met before hand and I could instantly tell rascal would be taken great care of. Rascal hadn’t stayed overnight without a family member before so I was a bit anxious. Kerry kept me updated and I could see Rascal had an amazing time and was so well looked after. Would 1000000% go to Kerry if we need rascal looked after again. Would recommend her in an instant.
rollo had the best time as always with paige & nathen. i got the cutest photo updates of him having fun on his holidays 🐾 they both take such good care of him & you can tell he misses them when he gets home! i always feel fully at ease leaving my fur baby with these two 🥰

Nothing was a problem to Lyudmila she made me so comfortable for Dizzie to stay at her lovely home . Also it’s home to home for Dizzie . I will be booking again for Dizzie at Lyudmila .
Evangelia is brilliant with Archie, gives him plenty of attention, takes him on walks locally and a bit further afield like tynemouth for a great mix. Also knows plenty of areas which are fenced so allows dogs off the lead to play even when they’re new to her. I have no problem leaving Archie for a number of days knowing he’s well looked after.
