“We were a little nervous to leave our cat for the first time and have somebody come and stay at our house while we were working away, but Corinne was so lovely. She took amazing care of our little Vinnie while we were gone and left our house lovely and clean. We would definitely have her come and stay again if we ever go away and I will definitely be recommending her to friends and family members. Thanks so much once again! :)”


“I recently had Aviral and Gayatri take care of my dog while I was away, and I’m thrilled with the level of care provided. From our initial meeting, it was clear that they have deep love for animals and a solid understanding of their needs. During my absence, they kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which eased my worries and allowed me to enjoy my time away. It was evident from the photos and the way my dog greeted me upon my return that they had formed a positive bond and provided excellent care. I couldn’t have asked for better care and would wholeheartedly recommend Aviral and Gayatri to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving for their furry friend.”


“Great woman who looked after our push up Pablo will definitely use again in the future I highly recommend her for any help you need with your dog couldn’t of asked for anything more hoouse again”


“Fantastic dog sitting service! Anastasia was very intuitive to our dog’s behaviour and needs; and quickly won her over as a friend. I’m very grateful for the peace of mind they provided us over the weekend, and we came home to a happy & healthy dog 💚”


“Highly recommend Alla and her lovely daughter. I have a highly anxious Cocker Spaniel who needs her home comforts and company. This lovely lady met my dogs needs. I came home to a very happy pooch after a few days away. Will definitely book with this lady again. X”


“Caitlin was an absolute gem of a sitter. She sat our two old dogs at our home for a week and from the meet and greet all the way to the last day of our trip she gave us frequent updates and photos from our dogs which made us feel reassured that they are in good and caring hands so we could also enjoy our holiday without having to worry about our dogs. She took them for their routine walks and ensured they had clean water, food, treats and lots of love. Our oldest dog gets seizures a handful of times a year and unlucky for Caitlin, he had two episodes while she was sitting him. She handled the situation very well and kept us in the loop frequently. We came back to two happy dogs and a very clean and tidy house so not only she was a great house sitter but she also was a great guest at the house while we were away. Can't recommend Caitlin enough and hopefully she liked our dogs enough to help us in future sittings as well. Thank you Caitlin.”


“Princess was brilliant with my Bonny - when I came home it was clear that they had a great day and Bonny loved it. She was really good at checking in and sending updates. Will definitely book again.”


“Would 100% recommend. Was really comfortable leaving my rolo for 4 nights. I got daily updates with photos and rolo was really well looked after and was even spoilt with loads of treats . Would definitely book again came back to a happy healthy dog”


“I would 100% recommend Anastasia to anyone needing someone to look after your pets! Anastasia and her partner looked after my dog, Nellie and my cat, Mango at my home for a few days while we went London. They were both so friendly and formed such a good bond with Nellie and Mango straight away! Anastasia sent over loads of photos while we were away and kept in contact regularly, her communication was always so quick and was very reassuring. Mango and Nellie looked like they had such a fun time and I will definitely be reaching out when I need a pet sitter in the future! Thank you both so much for the last minute booking and how much care and love you showed towards Nellie and Mango, I appreciate it so much!😊”


About: Hi! I’m Jo and a huge dog lover. Growing up I had a family dog, a border terrier called Millie who sadly passed away last year. She was the best dog and loved hiking in the Lakes - she almost walked all of the Wainwrights there! She was 17 when she died so I have had that amount of time looking after her. Feeding, walking and giving her lots of cuddles! Although Millie is no longer around a lot of my friends and extended family have dogs so I’m always around them. I’m looking to fill that dog-shaped whole in my life by looking after your dog and giving it the care it deserves! I’m currently off work for the school holidays l, as I’m a teacher, therefore have a lot of free time now in the holidays! I am free to look after your dog through the week and at the weekends. However, I am only available to house sit too or take your dogs for walks :). You can fully trust that I will take care of your dog as if it were my own! I can be really flexible for the next month as I have a completely free schedule. I am more than happy to house sit and take your dog out for walks and stick to any dietary or bathing requirements.

About: Grown up with dogs all my life with various breeds, mostly whippets/greyhounds, but had a patterdale when I was younger. A big dog lover, often help friends & family dog sit!! I currently work local to Gosforth, and have most evening ls during the week free for walking, dog sitting!! Happy to help with dogs needs :) Have a small yard which is fenced off and can have them where I live which is safe and secure. I would be happy to go to owner’s home too.

“Katie was absolutely amazing not only with communicating and updating us on our two dogs everyday, but with how much care and attention they were given. It's very clear how much Katie cares about dogs. One of our dogs has special needs and he couldn't have been in better hands.”

About: I have a deep passion for animals and have gained experience over the years through taking care of animals of my own and also of family’s and friends’. I’ve owned rodents since I was very young, but also helped looking after family members cats and walked friend’s dogs. My grandmother has also owned a farm, where I was able to help feeding the animals and the occasional stray cats that came to visit. I have recently finished university and currently unemployed, so I have plenty of time and a flexible schedule for looking after both cats and dogs. I make sure all animals are well cared for and always prioritise their safety. I am very reliable and follow instructions on how to take the best care of your pet.

“Lucy stayed at my home and looked after my two dogs while I went away. She was amazing and kept me updated on how things were going and answered messages quickly. I would definitely recommend Lucy to anyone. She is amazing. Thank you so much.”


“I couldn’t recommend Phoebe enough! We have just came back from a week away and Phoebe stayed at my house with my dog, Nellie and cat, Mango. Phoebe has been amazing from the get go, meeting Nellie and mango prior so that they knew who she was, and took Nellie on a trial walk also. They both love her so much and I couldn’t be happier with the bond that she now has with them, she gave me so much reassurance and sent photos and videos and kept me up to date through out the week we were away. She took Nellie on loads of long walks to burn all the energy that she has and gave them loads of attention. I know Mango and Nellie would love to have Phoebe stay with them again in the future and will 100% be booking again for any other trips away that we have planned. She’s one in a million☺️💖”


“Helena was amazing! From the moment she met our boys they loved her! She gave them lots of attention which they loved! They had a love lay day sit with her playing and of course relaxing. We can’t wait to book her again. The house was left immaculate and boys very happy thank you! ❤️”


About: I had a Labrador for 13 years who I loved and cared for. My work doesn’t allow me to have my own dog at the moment, so want to provide care for yours, to benefit both you and I 😊 I work full time and will be in the office Mon-Thu so I am currently offering weekend care, from Friday to Monday morning. My weekends are usually active with trips to the coast or walks through parks. I live in a terraced house so I do have a yard, however I would take your dogs to the park for walks. I live by myself in a 3-bed terraced house, so lots of room for dogs, crates, etc. I would recommend you bringing your dogs own bowls/dishes and I will use these and keep them clean before returning. I am a clean and tidy person and can provide photos of my home prior to bookings. For dog sitting in your house, we can talk and agree what you would prefer happens in your own home.

Jo C.
“I fully trust Jo to take care of our dog - she is very loving and responsible towards her and other dogs and it clear she has lots of experience with them. I definitely recommend her!! 5 stars from us :)”


Grace U.
“Grace has been absolutely wonderful with my boy, Bear. Being a rescue, he can be quite nervous and wary of new people, but from the very beginning Grace showed such patience, gentleness, and understanding that he quickly came to trust her. That alone speaks volumes. Bear is also full of energy, and Grace somehow manages to balance giving him the exercise he craves with the reassurance he needs. It’s clear she genuinely cares for him, and he lights up when he sees her. Knowing that Bear is not only safe but truly happy in her care means the world to me. I feel incredibly lucky to have found someone as kind and reliable as Grace.”

David L.
“David is an extremely responsible person and a big dog lover. He has had his own dog in the past and cared for her extremely well. His occupation prevents him having a dog full time, this allows him to enjoy the company of a dog and will provide a warm, caring home for your beloved pet and ensure they were well cared”
