Friends and family have relied on me to care for their pets, including puppies and older dogs, large and small I'm self employed so have a lot of time and energy to help you care for your pets and keep them active and healthy. I can provide walking or pet-sitting services during weekdays on a very flexible basis to best suit your schedule I have a safe and spacious flat in central Newcastle where I can care for cats and smaller dogs, but which might not be suitable for larger dogs.

About: Dog owner, animal lover, and someone who’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, friendly and understand how important it is to keep pets happy, safe and comfortable while you’re away. I work Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm, with some days working from home, which gives me flexibility for walks, drop-in visits and pet care. I’m also available most evenings and weekends, making me a great option for regular walks, holiday cover and weekend pet sitting. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust is. I’ll always put your pet’s safety and wellbeing first, stick to their usual routine, and treat them with the same love and care I give my own dog. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.
“Amazing with Tilly who was initially nervous on her walk, understood her needs and provided a longer second walk after having to cut the first one short. Provided extra care by feeding her lunch. Was given access to a key to my house, trustworthy and reliable! Would 100% recommend, very professional service!”

About: Since i was 9 i have always been brought up around dogs and for the past few years i have looked after many of my family members dogs while they have been on holidays. I also worked in a doggy day care for 2 years. Current just got my own house with my boyfriend so I will be free a lot of the time to take dogs in to look after while their owners are away. My home is a few minutes walk away from the rising sun country park! A great place for dogs to have fun and get tired out! I work from home through the week and my only day in the office is on a Monday. My work is pretty flexible so will have a lot of time to walk the dogs. I have a fenced back garden for the dogs to go out and play on as-well as a few good walk spots near by. I am willing to take the dogs out for as many walks as required.

About: I have had a passion for animals for as long as I can remember and been around them since day 1. I am an animal management graduate who has been around a multitude of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, fish and exotics. I also have experience working with larger animals such as farm animals and horses. I have some experience working in a pet store, a petting zoo and horse riding school. I am also currently teaching myself to do basic dog grooms with an aim of going back to school to earn certification in dog grooming. Currently, I have 2 cats, a male named Stanley and a female named Stella who are my whole life. I also regularly visit my parents who have 4 cats (2 of which are Stella's brothers), 2 Pugs, a Cocker x Springer Spaniel, 2 rabbits, an African Grey and a Horsefield tortoise, so I do have regular contact with other animals and am always excited to meet new ones. I am currently self-employed and run a business offering pet services so am typically available for any requests and enquiries. I will always try my best to stick to your typical schedule/routine in order to keep your family as happy and comfortable as possible. The safety of your pet, home and yourself is of the utmost importance to me. I am DBS checked for your peace of mind as well as having insurance. Upon our initial meet and greet, I aim to take as much information about your pet and routine as possible so that I can get an idea of their character and needs to better create a plan that suits all involved. In regards to dog walks, you can opt to use your own leads or one of mine, however, please note that due to the safety issues associated with them, I do not use retractable leads.
About: I have experience taking care of both cats and dogs. I myself have a cat which I care for by myself so I'm confident that I'm reliable and responsible to be a good pet-sitter. I'm a full time university student but I don't spend that much time outside so pet sitting and dog walking are an amazing time to be more active while I'm doing things I love and helping people out! That said, if I don't have a lecture planned, I'm more than happy to meet your pets! I live in a complex with CCTV security and two locks. There's a small fence around the garden and regular check ins from the agency
About: I’ve owned and trained two dogs of my own, giving me hands-on experience with basic obedience, lead training, socialisation, feeding routines and daily care. Friends, neighbours and family regularly trust me to look after their pets, whether that’s walking, feeding, playing, administering routine care or providing companionship while they’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages and personalities, and I always focus on creating a safe, positive and enjoyable experience for every pet. I understand the importance of consistency, patience and clear communication when caring for animals, and I treat every pet as if they were my own.

I’m reliable, responsive and happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. Having owned and trained two dogs myself, I understand the importance of routine, patience and positive reinforcement. I follow any instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements and medication needs. I make sure pets are supervised, secure and comfortable at all times, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would give my own pets.
About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter who’s a little pet deprived! I’m from the USA but currently studying for my Masters in Newcastle, and I miss my dog and cat terribly. Alongside having pets of my own, I’ve also completed house sitting jobs where I’ve cared for dogs by feeding them, letting them out and playing with them while also caring after the home. I’m responsible, tidy and happy to follow your pets routine to keep things as normal as possible I’m currently working on writing my dissertation which I luckily can do from anywhere! All I need is wifi so my schedule is super flexible. I have a small studio for pets to roam around but I also live very close to parks and plenty of trails to take walks.
“Phoebe has walked our dog Scampi a number of times now. She has been reliable and trustworthy, and has managed Scampi's reactivity. Phoebe has also helped us out at short notice a few times which has been great. Would certainly recommend.”

About: I have previous experience as a dog walker and cat sitter. I have grown up with multiple animals in the home and trained my family dog to pass his therapy dog exams last year. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to entertain your pets! I am also on a very flexible schedule so can adapt if your pets have any special requirements or if I am needed to be there for constant care. I have two cats in my own home so I am unable to house pets in my house as I don’t want to cause them or your own pet any undue stress!

About: Dogs have always been a special part of my life. I grew up around my grandmother’s dog, Kelli, who was with our family for over 13 years. Caring for her taught me patience, responsibility and how important it is to understand each dog’s individual personality and needs. After recently losing her, I would love to continue spending time with dogs and give them the same care, attention and affection I gave her. I am a master’s student with a flexible schedule, mainly available from Thursday to Sunday. I have been living in Newcastle for three years now, so I can easily fit dog walking around my studies and am flexible throughout the day on my available days. For walks, I prefer safe and enjoyable routes, especially parks, green spaces and quieter areas where dogs can relax and explore. I always follow the owner’s instructions and take each dog’s personality, energy level and comfort into account. My priority is for every dog to feel safe, comfortable and well cared for throughout the walk.

Jessica and Sam were absolutely brilliant with Kiki, gentle and asked considered questions about her care. Kiki had a great walk and fell straight asleep after. Clearly felt very comfortable ahead of her house stay. A huge thank you to both for helping us feel at ease and giving Kiki the cuddles she clearly deserves 🤣

Natasha was amazing with Hilbert. Hilbert had a small medical condition but Natasha was so patient and very good with him and helped us to monitor him and didn’t let the medical condition get worse. Hilbert really liked her and was very happy spending time with her and walking with her. We would love to book with her again on her next availability. Thank you 🙏🏻

Samantha was amazing throughout the whole process! As someone who had never left their dog with someone else nor used the Rover app, Samantha put me right at ease! Rosie clearly loved the walks and time; Samantha was very knowledgeable from her experience in veterinary and kept me updated across the day. Would definitely recommend to anyone and also will definitely be booking again when needed, thanks Samantha!
