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 cared for dogs for years through friends and family, including dogs with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I’ve also looked after more high-maintenance pets, including an elderly dog with multiple health conditions, which taught me the importance of patience, attention to detail, and following each pet’s individual routine. I genuinely love animals and take pride in giving every pet plenty of care, attention, and companionship while they’re with me. I’m happy to accommodate individual requirements and routines, and I’m also available for same-day requests when my schedule allows. Whether your pet needs lots of walks and playtime, extra patience and reassurance, or simply a calm and caring companion, I’ll do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. As a student, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care, including daytime bookings and last-minute requests when I’m available. I’m an active person who enjoys being outdoors, so I’m more than happy to provide dogs with plenty of walks, exercise, playtime, and attention. I’m confident and comfortable around dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m happy to adapt to each pet’s routine and individual needs. My flexible schedule also means I can give your pet plenty of time and attention rather than rushing through a visit. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority. I offer house sitting in your home, allowing your pets to stay in the environment they know and feel comfortable in. I’ve previously cared for multiple dogs in their owners’ homes and understand how important it is to follow their usual routines, house rules, feeding schedules, walks, and individual care requirements. I’m respectful of your home and take the responsibility of caring for both your pets and your space seriously. I aim to provide reliable, attentive, and stress-free care so you can feel confident knowing your pets are in safe and caring hands while you’re away.
About: I’ve had Labradors and horses my whole life, Family and friends have often relied on me to care for their furry friends and their home. I work part time and I am able to look after pets most weekdays and weeknights, caring on a weekend is work dependent but please ask if required. I can stay with your pet at home and take it to public parks or exercise it alone if preferred. I am able to drive and I’m happy for the dog to be in my car.
“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: 🐾 About Me I have a 2+ year old Golden Retriever, so I have hands on experience caring for dogs and understanding their daily needs. I’m responsible, patient and safety conscious, with experience handling feeding, walks, playtime, grooming and keeping up with routines. I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved and well cared for while you’re away. 🐶💕 I’m currently a full time student, so my schedule can vary depending on classes. I’m generally available outside of class hours, including evenings and weekends, and I’ll make sure to set aside plenty of time for your pet’s walks, playtime and care. I’m very safety conscious and will always keep your pet’s wellbeing as my priority. I’m experienced with dogs through caring for my own 2+ year old Golden Retriever. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, feeding instructions and specific needs carefully, while providing a safe, calm and loving environment.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was a baby. Growing up my grandparents also owned parrots, bunnies, dogs of all sizes, cats, tortoises, fish, you name it…my parents always had dogs and cats. I also owned a dog for 11 years. I feel most comfortable around animals :) Being an older sister of 3, I grew up being the responsible one, caretaker and I’d also walk the dogs, train them, feed them and help my parents in any way I could. When I adopted my first own dog, I learned how much love I have to give and how much responsibility it takes to look after a furbaby. He was very anxious and reactive, so it was 11 years of learning and challenges, but he was the sweetest and goodest boy, right up until the end. I’m currently working full-time. For now I’m looking to combine my love for animals and building up a side income during my free time. I’m happy to look after and walk your pets during my free time on the weekends. I can drive which allows me to get to places a bit further out. I cannot have pets in my own home sadly. However, I’m happy to come in and check on your kitten or pooch while you’re away. I can also pet sit if needed and play with, feed and walk your dogs. I can also train and teach your dog (or cat, if they feel like it haha) some tricks. Work on their confidence by using gentle rewards and lots of patience on their walks. I have experience with reactive dogs and I know how important it is to maintain comfort and special care for the sensitive pups.
“Jani was great - she was quick to respond and communicate, and even brought a parcel in that had been left at the door. She both walked Dexter and played with him, just like we asked. Thank you!”
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: 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.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Over the years, I’ve fostered both dogs and cats, as well as volunteered at a local animal shelter. Me and my partner have a 2,5 year-old miniature Daschund who’s playful, friendly, and well-socialised. We can provide loving, reliable care, as we’re experienced, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals. Whether it’s for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, we’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. We treat every pet like our own and always go the extra mile to keep them happy and healthy while you’re away. We’d love to meet you and your furry family member! I’m off from work until September, so I’m fully available. My cousin/ best friend also assists me with bookings. She works part time as she is a university student. With both of us home regularly, your pet will never be left alone and will always be in caring and capable hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We provide calm, clean, and pet friendly home where your furry family member can relax and feel secure. We will carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, routines, or special care needs. If your pet needs space or one-on-one attention, we’re happy to accommodate with separate areas and personalised care. You’ll receive regular photo updates and check-ins so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

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 have owned two dogs throughout my life, so I understand the responsibility, patience and love that comes with caring for them. I know that every dog has a different personality, routine and needs, and I would take the time to understand these and make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable and happy in my care. I have recently finished Sixth Form and received my A Level results, and I am now looking to turn my passion for dogs into a long-term career. I am caring, reliable, patient and eager to learn, and I would treat every dog as if they were my own. For me, dog walking and sitting is more than just a job — it is something I genuinely love and am passionate about building my future around. I have a flexible schedule and can make time throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention and care. 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.
“Ryan has been walking my German Shepherd for the past couple of weeks and has done a great job - dog loves him, he’s reliable, punctual and responsible - I’d highly recommend him.”
“Farrah was really helpful and accommodating when walking my dog. She was absolutely lovely at the met and greet and had great communication with loads of pics from walks. Will definitely be booking again”
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

Natasha was absolutely great and handled everything incredibly well. We got regular updates and it was really reassuring to know the dogs were being so well looked after and cared for. We’d be more than happy to use Natasha again and would definitely recommend her. We’re just gutted she’s back in the Uni now, otherwise we’d absolutely be using her more!
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 🤣
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!
