Jacob was brilliant with my dog, felt like I could trust him to look after him straight away. He is experienced with dogs having grown up with them. He was polite and punctual will certainly make this a regular booking when he's available.

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: 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

About: I have recently finished my Animal Science degree at Newcastle University and am currently awaiting my final results. I have grown up around both dogs and cats, which has given me a genuine love for animals and confidence in caring for animals with different personalities and needs. Alongside my studies, I have been working part time at Hurworth Burn Luxury Pet Hotel, gaining hands on experience caring for dogs in a professional setting. My responsibilities include supervising walks, assisting with bathing and administering medication, monitoring behaviour and wellbeing, maintaining clean living areas and meeting each dog's individual feeding and care needs. I am confident caring for dogs of all different sizes and I pride myself on being reliable, patient, attentive and trustworthy. I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I recently finished my Animal Science degree at Newcastle University and am currently awaiting my final results, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I currently work part-time, so I am available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and weekends. I always make time to give pets plenty of attention, exercise, play, and companionship while in my care. I always prioritise making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home and during walks. Through my kennel work experience, I am confident caring for dogs and cats and following their individual routines and care needs. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise, cleanliness, and behaviour monitoring to ensure pets remain happy and healthy while their owners are away. I also understand the importance of trust, communication, and regular updates for owners after each visit or walk.

About: I am a reliable and caring sitter with experience looking after dogs in a safe, calm, and attentive environment. I have helped with feeding, walking, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away, making sure each dog gets the attention and exercise they need. I am confident handling different temperaments and always focus on building trust with both pets and owners. I take pride in being punctual, responsible, and treating every dog as if they were my own. I am currently a student at Newcastle university, so am able to work around my lectures, most evening and weekends. When at home I feed my cats everyday and clean there litter boxes I provide a safe, calm, and caring environment whether pets are in my home or I am caring for them in the owner’s home. In my home, I make sure pets have a comfortable space, stick to their usual feeding and walking routines, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision. I keep the environment clean and pet-friendly at all times. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication if needed, and maintaining the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I also keep owners updated with messages or photos for peace of mind. My priority is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

A friendly dog walker. With own transport. Security conscientious and showed respect whilst in my property. Followed instructions accordingly with regards to the every day needs of my dog. Sound communication skills and reliable on all calls. First Aid trained. Very reasonably priced. Provided photos and walking routes. I was very nervous and anxious about leaving my dog, with someone I did not know. However Collie quickly gained both mine and my dogs confidence. I Would highly recommend.

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’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. Since 17 ( 8 years) I helped my friends or neighbours to care after the dogs: walking, feeding and bathing - every kind of thing. I really love this job and I will put as many effort as I can to make my job good I’m currently self employed, so I have pretty flexible schedule. I’m available on both weekends and weekdays. But if you need me earlier we can discuss it before🤗 I had an experience of working in a pet owner’s house. My daily routine with dogs is walking, playing, and feeding. If you need I can also teach them a few commands and bring them to the vet

About: I have taken care of different kind of dogs since I was little. In the last few years I have look after of my friends and neighbours dogs. Currently I’m looking after my aunts dogs (husky and Labrador) regularly, when they’re away. I am not working at the moment, I might start working part time soon, so I’ll still have plenty of time to look after the dogs and meet their need. Any dogs was staying or visiting my house absolutely loves it because there aren’t any rules, they're always allowed on the furniture. I also have a small garden which they can also enjoy.

About: I've always had dogs around me. My mother-in-law (a dog groomer) says I have 'chill dude energy' and dogs love it. All of them are precious and wonderful in their own way. I pay special attention to their needs and desires so they can have the best day possible! I am a freelancer who works from home so I have extra flexibility to come care for your furry friends. Bonus points - my favorite activity is going for long walks. I would love to have a companion join me while I admire the city and nature :) Having grown up with dogs and kept various animal friends from centipedes to pythons, I have a good sense for what an animal needs to feel safe and comfortable. I'm confident I can watch over your pet safely and make sure they have fun while you're busy :)

About: I’ve had cats since I was a child and often taken care of them since I was 13 when my parents were away, I continue to do this now. I am also a prominent cat feeder/sitter in my neighbourhood looking after at least 5 different families cats when they are away. I have also been trusted with neighbours and friends dogs to walk them on a regular basis. Additionally, I have been looking after a friends dog and house every summer for the past 3 years for a week. I love doing this and getting to know the pets. I am currently a university student, so my schedule is relatively flexible. I have no university on Wednesdays or the weekends. I work as a swimming coach 3 times a week but these are only for 1 hour on a Tuesday and Wednesday evening and a Sunday afternoon. I am flexible and available for looking after pets and keeping furry friends company I can easily make my way to houses and ensure that dogs are walked and fed regularly. I’m happy to follow instructions and get in touch if I need advice. I love making a happy environment for pets and I’m happy to visit the pets before sitting so that they are more comfortable when I actually come and sit with them so that they know me better.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life growing up with Labradors who I have fed, taken on walks and given lots of cuddles. I have experience pet sitting neighbours’ and family friends’ cats and dogs. I have also had a lot of experience training our family pets. I am a friendly individual who will make sure that dogs feel safe and comfortable while on walks and in my home. I have just finished my final year of university and am staying in Newcastle for two more months so have plenty of free days. I love going on walks and getting out of the house and would appreciate having pets to look after to give some purpose to my now-free days. I live in a maisonette where we have looked after dogs on three separate occasions with sufficient space in the living room and easy access to a nearby park. I will ensure that there are no harmful and chewable objects around. There are no other dogs in this house so my full attention will be given to your pet:)

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 🙏🏻
