About: I have been raised around pets my entire life, and am confident in my ability to care for them. I have cared for both family and friends' pets in the past when needed, and now have my own. I currently study part time, so have plenty time to care for your pets. With summer coming up, my availability is much more flexible due to the term ending :) A pet's safety and comfort is really important to me - I always make sure to provide the care needed and make sure that their owner is confident they are being cared for.

“Kirk was absolutely wonderful with our two slightly anxious rescue dogs, taking them on regular walks for a few months. From the first meeting it was clear that he is really focused on the dogs and building a good relationship with them. Kirk has very calming presence which helped our dogs feel at ease. Our dogs liked Kirk so much, they sniffed out where he leaves and were regularly checking on his door, which was adorable. The communication was always great and we received lots of updates from the walks. I can’t recommend Kirk more!”


About: I've cared for small - medium sized dogs of varying breeds since my teenage years, dog walking and house sitting for family and friends. As a professional basketball player and a trainee psychotherapist, I'm available on weekdays and some weekends to engage with your pups. I work from home most days, when I house sit, if you’re happy for me to, I can be available for your fur babies between clients and during study breaks! I'm studying my 3rd degree at Newcastle University and play basketball for the Newcastle Eagles. I have Basketball training in the evening some weekdays. Depending on our play off run, I attend games on the weekend so I can be flexible! I care for every pet like they're my own, ensuring doors are always closed and secure. Expect plenty of walks and activities to keep your pet happy and engaged while in my care. I describe myself as Punctual, active, patient and outgoing, dedicated to building trust with pets and their owners. I respect my clients’ personal space, I will keep your home exactly how I may find it and will ensure consistency throughout.

About: I’ve looked after dogs for most of my life, whether they’ve been my own family pets or for family and friends. At home I currently have a 1 year old working cocker which I really miss when I’m back up at uni. Having such a high energy dog means I feel like I can keep up with just about anything! I am a medical student so sometimes just having a dog to hang out with is much needed! I have put “no pets” as in my uni house I have not got pets. I am a medical student so I do tend to have quite a busy schedule but I also sometimes have half days which means I tend to get back just after midday. As I am now on my placement years I have a little less free time but I am always free in the evenings and I am completely free on weekends, all day and night. My schedule varies weekly but but it means that no days are ruled out every week! I have a valid DBS certificate. I can easily crate your pet if needed, and due to growing up with dogs and having looked after a fair few I know my way around keeping them safe and any precautions I would need to take. As I will be looking after your dog in your own home it will mean that they won’t be uprooted or in a new environment, so you won’t have to worry about them being somewhere you don’t know and they don’t know. I am very respectful so any house rules you may have I will ensure to follow E.g. if your pet isn’t allowed on the sofa I will continue to enforce that.

About: Caring and reliable sitter focused on providing love, attention, and a safe environment for your pets. Dedicated to ensuring their happiness and comfort always. I grew up around dogs and have taken care of dogs of all sizes in the past decade either when friends and neighbours are at work or on a holiday. I am currently doing my masters degree in Architecture. I am quite flexible and can adjust my schedule easily. I am always free during the evenings and weekends. I believe pets thrive best in environments they know and feel comfortable in. That’s why I prefer to care for your pets in their own home, where they can remain surrounded by familiar sights, sounds, and smells. This approach helps minimize stress, especially for pets who may feel anxious while traveling or staying in unfamiliar places. My priority is to ensure your pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for at all times.

About: I have taken in many animals from friends or family over the years: hamsters, rabbits, a cat (and then kittens), and a tortoise. At home today we have our tortoise, Denzel, who we got in 2019 and requires very specialised reptilian care. In 2022 we got our dog Ludo as puppy. I was responsible for the puppy training for Ludo, for example teaching the proper outdoor bathroom etiquette and little tricks - he is now 3 and a very well behaved boy (who my mum brings up to visit me more often than is likely usual). I’m a student at Newcastle University studying Environmental Science and whilst I’ve been away I have missed caring for animals so much, so I would love to be able to treat and look after your pets with so much care! Over time, I’ve gotten really comfortable caring for all kinds of animals with all kinds of personalities. I pay attention to how they’re feeling and can pick up on behavioural clues, stick to their usual routines, and always make sure they feel calm and cared for. I’m happy to follow any instructions you have, keep going with any training, and just be someone your pet can feel safe and relaxed with while you’re away. I have a completely free schedule as I am on my holidays from university currently and so I can provide care for any times you need! :) As I live in student accommodation I am not able to care in my home, but I am more than happy to meet and exceed any of the guidelines you will have towards how to provide the best care for your pet in their home environment, in order to make sure they are as comfortable as possible. It will be just me looking after your pet or pets, so you can trust that they will get unbridled attention and affection! I will keep things, such as their daily schedule, consistent and calm so they feel secure at ease whilst you’re away.

About: I've been taking care of friends and neighbours animals since I was in primary school, mostly cats and dogs, but also lizards and a snake. I've also had cats for most of my life, and now own my own dog. I'm currently looking for work, so I'm very flexible with when I care for any animals. I walk my own dog every morning and evening, but not at a fixed time. I have a fenced small garden, and a flat which has been made dog safe for my puppy. We also live next to a park, so that is where I take my dog to play with his frisbees and other dogs, and if he needs a walk rather than play, there are plenty of places full of interesting smells around me. I generally like to spend enough time feeding cats to make sure that they are comfortable and healthy, although that depends on the cats schedule.

“Andreea is just amazing with my dog Winnie. The videos and pictures that Andreea sends prove how happy she is to see Andreea and her partner and this is a great touch to the service. Andreea is so accommodating and flexible. I would definitely recommend Andreea for any pet services.”

About: I’ve always wanted to have a dog, but I didn’t have that kind of opportunity. So i chose a job that would bring me happiness and also can help other people.

If you need I can also teach them a few commands and bring them to the vet

“Celia was absolutely brilliant, stepping in at the last minute to both come and meet us and Brian, before then talking Brian out for his evening walk. She sent some lovely pictures from their walk and was even mindful that he had chewed one of his chew sticks down to the point of it being a choking risk whilst we were out so placed it out of reach until we got home.”

Sophie D.
“Sophie has owned cats in the past, and she now currently is the owner of a dog. It is clear how much she genuinely cares for animals, and this is demonstrated through the care she makes sure to give to every animal. Her experience has continued to grow over the years, especially as an animal parent herself. She also cared for my dog before getting her own, and I was always confident when I left my dog Remi with her - she absolutely loved Sophie and I knew she was well cared for when I had to leave anywhere from a few hours to a couple weeks for work. Anyone who has Sophie care for their pets I'm sure would be confident that their pets were in safe hands; especially as Sophie has always made sure to keep owners updated on how their pets are with messages and photos. Even if not requested, as a pet owner herself she knows how important peace of mind is and makes sure to the best of her ability that the owner always has that when she is caring for their pet/s.”

Princess A.
“Princess has been helping me look after my two guinea pigs when I have to go away for weekends. Princess does an excellent job of making sure my guinea pigs are well-fed, they always have water and she will sit with them during the day while they are out of their cages. She is organised and can stick to a schedule that works well for the guinea pigs. Princess is also very kind and patient so my guinea pigs often feel relaxed around her.”


Elise P.
“Elise is one of the kindest people I’ve met, both towards humans and animals. I believe she’s had family 4 dogs in her lifetime and still speaks of the 3 that have sadly passed away to this day. Now that she’s at uni studying medicine she is away from her family’s dog and I know she missed her a lot so having the ability to look after other people’s will fill her with a lot of happiness and love. She has previously done similar work walking dogs for the elderly during covid to both help out older people who couldn’t go out, and get the dogs the vital exercise they needed. I couldn’t recommend anyone more for being a responsible and loving pet caregiver.”


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”


Caitlin F.
“Caitlin would be an amazing caregiver to any animal. She has helped me over the years take care of a loving tortoise and our new family dog. She would stop in the road to help a bee from being stopped on. I've been there and witnessed this!! If you need someone who is young but worried they wont look after your pet, I would trust her to be that person. She is kind, sensible and would put them first. She is looking for some help at university for extra moneyand loves and misses her dog at home.”


morris w.
“Morris has looked after our cat Milly when we have been away ever since she joined our household. It’s unmistakably clear that she likes and trusts Morris, and we have always felt hugely reassured when Morris has been looking after our home and Milly. I’ld recommend him without a moment’s hesitation, and have just now confirmed the next future sit with him.”
