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 💚

Couldn’t recommend enough! We were really nervous leaving our three dogs (two dachshunds and a goldendoodle) but felt completely reassured the whole time. I loved all the updates and pictures, it really put my mind at ease seeing them happy and settled. Communication was brilliant and I felt reassured throughout. Thank you so much for taking such good care of them — I wouldn’t hesitate to book again ❤️

Louise has been absolutely BRILLIANT! Louise took such good care of my elderly Dog Padraigh, taking him on some lovely walks and sending me loads of updates and lovely photos of Padraigh, one of which I'm going to get framed. It was so good for Padraigh to be looked after in the comfort of his own home. Highly recommend Louise.

Natalia did a great job with Kiwi. Natalia is great at responding to messages and sending updates. She is also very calm and all the instructions. Kiwi was settled and calm after Natalia left which to me always indicates that her needs were met. Highly recommend Natalia

About: I’ve had dogs for over 10 years and regularly care for them independently, in Newcastle and at home, from a samoyed to a little pomerenian. I’m used to managing daily routines, walks, feeding, playtime, and quiet companionship. I’m a third-year university student at Newcastle, so my schedule is fairly flexible outside of lectures and study time. I am free weekdays and weekends, evenings as well. I’m used to planning my days in advance and can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. Always down for walks as study breaks (need my 10k steps a day) and spending time at home, which works well for giving dogs consistent attention, care and lots of cuddles (if the dog will be happy). I follow the owner’s schedule very clearly, walking times and house rules to make the dog the most comfortable and secure. I adjust my care depending on the dog’s energy level ( I do usually 1 big walk in the afternoon and 2 small walks in the morning and evening, but depending on the dog). I always try and make the dog as comfortable as possible and make his day as enjoyable and full of activities as the weather allows.

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.

First time anxiously leaving our Mack with a dog sitter. How lucky we got finding Pablo. What a gent who genuinely had Mack’s best interests at heart. Listened to everything we said about his behaviours and both seemed to enjoy one another’s company. Confidently let him explore off lead in on his favourite walks. We both felt 💯 confident that Mack was safe and well. When he said he would look after him like his own, he truly did. Couldn’t be happier with Pablo and highly recommend. Thanks Pablo. You’re a Star 🌟

About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs, including my own Shih Tzu, so I understand their needs and personalities deeply. I’m gentle, patient, and great with both playful pups and senior dogs. I focus on comfort, trust, and keeping each dog happy, safe, and loved—just like they deserve. I work part-time on weekends from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m., so I’m free most afternoons and weekdays to walk, play, and care for dogs. Spending time with them fits easily into my routine—it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to every day! I treat every dog as if they were my own. In a pet owner’s home, I follow their routine carefully—feeding, walking, and playtime just as instructed. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, keeping their space clean and cozy while giving them plenty of attention and affection.

Let’s make sure your cat is relaxed, loved & purring happily while you're away..! 👌😘😸 #CatSitting #NewcastleCats #PetSitterUK #CatCare #NewcastleUponTyne #FelineLove Cats have been a part of my life since I was 11 years old, and my love for them has only grown over the years. Since moving to Newcastle, UK, I’ve helped friends care for their cats, and in 2017, I adopted my own beloved black cat who has been my loyal companion ever since... Through my experience, I’ve encountered & managed a diverse range of cat care situations, including: ✔ Feeding difficulties & picky eaters ✔ Managing constipation & digestive issues ✔ Post-surgery aftercare & recovery support ✔ Providing comfort, cuddles & companionship Cats are more than just pets to me, they are a fundamental part of my life...

As I mainly work remotely, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide regular attention, companionship, feeding, playtime, and general care throughout the day. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I make it a priority in both my daily and weekly activities to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after... I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. In a pet owner's home, I follow their routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication (if required), playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and companionship. For cats, I pay particular attention to litter box cleanliness, enrichment activities, and maintaining a calm, stress-free environment. For dogs, I ensure they receive appropriate exercise, bathroom breaks, and supervision. I respect the owner's home, keep it tidy, and provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away...

I’d never used a cat sitter before, and I’ve had Cassi for 13 years—she’s been my baby since I was in Year 6. When my mum brought her up to Newcastle after my partner and I moved in together, I knew leaving her would be hard, so I was definitely a bit anxious. Katie was fantastic from start to finish. She communicated really well, sent us lovely photos every day, and made me feel completely at ease having her stay with Cassi. When we got back, it was clear Cassi had been happy and settled, which meant everything to me. I’m so grateful for the care she gave her. I’d happily recommend Katie to anyone and would absolutely use her again next time we go away. She also left the house exactly as we’d left it—clean, tidy, and no trouble at all. 5 stars all round!

I honestly couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters. I was quite nervous as it was my first time leaving them, but they completely put me at ease from the start. They kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which really reassured me while I was away. It was clear both my dog and cat were being really well looked after and given lots of care and attention. I came home to a spotless house, which was such a lovely touch and really appreciated. Everything felt calm, tidy, and just as I’d left it. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet sitters. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again.
