This was our second time using Phoebe to cat sit for us. She always turns up on time, did everything we asked and gave our cats plenty of love and attention. Gave us peace of mind that they were well looked after while we were away. Would definitely book Phoebe again.

Emma has done drop-ins to check on my cat, Vader, several times now - Vader always looks forward to Emma's visits and is left happy, fed, watered and with a clean litter tray. She always sends picture updates so I know that she's doing okay, which is reassuring and appreciated. Vader can't wait for her next Emma visit!

About: I’ve looked after dogs for most of my life, whether they’ve been my own family pets or for family and friends. At home I currently have a 1 year old working cocker which I really miss when I’m back up at uni. Having such a high energy dog means I feel like I can keep up with just about anything! I am a medical student so sometimes just having a dog to hang out with is much needed! I have put “no pets” as in my uni house I have not got pets. I am a medical student so I do tend to have quite a busy schedule but I also sometimes have half days which means I tend to get back just after midday. As I am now on my placement years I have a little less free time but I am always free in the evenings and I am completely free on weekends, all day and night. My schedule varies weekly but but it means that no days are ruled out every week! I have a valid DBS certificate. I can easily crate your pet if needed, and due to growing up with dogs and having looked after a fair few I know my way around keeping them safe and any precautions I would need to take. As I will be looking after your dog in your own home it will mean that they won’t be uprooted or in a new environment, so you won’t have to worry about them being somewhere you don’t know and they don’t know. I am very respectful so any house rules you may have I will ensure to follow E.g. if your pet isn’t allowed on the sofa I will continue to enforce that.

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 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: Hi! I’m a cat lover with over 5 years of hands on experience caring for cats. I’ve fostered several cats in the past and often look after my friends’ cats when they are away. I truly enjoy spending time with all kinds of kitties and thankfully they seem to love me too! I currently live with my own lovely black cat who I adopted five years ago. She is my little baby and we spend time all together which builds a strong bond between us. Because of that, I completely understand how hard it can be to leave your furry baby behind when you are away. That is why I always make sure every cat I care for feels safe, loved and relaxed. Whether your cats need cuddles, quiet companionship or just someone to keep their routine going smoothly. I’m here to help!

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.

About: I am a trustworthy and reliable student who adores animals and would love to help someone out. I have plenty of experience looking after a range of animals for my neighbours. I am currently in university and have a part time job but I am not in all day everyday and can be flexible to your needs. I will always share my availability of that week with you for full clarity! Learn their personality so I don’t push boundaries they aren’t comfortable with, I aim to do this initially through communication with owners about needs, expectations etc.

Amazing!! Would thoroughly recommend Colie! We asked Colie to come to check on our puppy for an hour twice this week and she was fab! Such a nice person too! Fully trust her and we are going to ask her to come back! We received photos of him and then a report card with what went on in the hour which was lovely. Baxter says thank you! X

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'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. I grew up with a family dog who was truly part of the family, and over the years I've also looked after friends' puppies, dogs and cats —whether for walks, playtime or cuddles. I'm currently a university student on a placement year, which means I have a very flexible schedule and often work from home. This allows me to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day, whether that's for walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company. I can easily fit pet care around my routine and am available for both weekday and weekend bookings. I believe pets feel most comfortable in their own familiar environment, which is why I prefer to care for dogs in their own homes. This helps reduce stress and keeps their routine as consistent as possible. I always take the time to understand each pet’s needs—whether that’s sticking to feeding schedules, providing regular walks, or just offering calm companionship. You can trust that your dog will be safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats, since I was a baby. I have my cat Frankie who I’ve had since he was 12 weeks old so I understand the kitten phase! I understand the importance of slow feeders for those excited pets that love their grub! I love all animals and would treat your pet like they’re my own, which is spoilt rotten and with lots of attention! I currently work part time on a Tuesday and Thursday from 8:30-4:30 which means I’m twiddling my thumbs 5 days of the week! I understand the importance of wanting to make sure your pet is well looked after when you’re busy working or on holidays, and I want to be able to provide that environment for pet owners I will feed, play, groom and clean up after your animals as I already do all of this for my cat Frankie (and he’s very messy!). My typical morning starts with a wet nose in my face demanding cuddles and breakfast, and throughout the day we play a lot with toys! A lot of exploring happens during the day, as well as a nap, and dinner is like clockwork!

About: I was a dog owner of a Hungarian vizsla for 15 years (since I was age 7), and my dog had seven puppies which I helped to care for along with my family. So I do have lots of experience with dogs, whether it be dog walking, feeding dogs or clearing up dog litter. I'm looking for some dog therapy so I’ve made Rover my full time job! I love playing with dogs and I am always up for a cuddle with them. I will treat your dog as I would my own, with lots of love and affection. I am confident with all aspects of taking care of dogs because I just love them that much. I have a big house with space for your pet to run around, with a small fenced yard and Heaton park nearby to go on long walks. I am flexible with whatever times people need me to dog sit. Rover is my only job so I have lots of free time to take care of your pets, any ages or breeds of dogs welcome! I have a small fenced yard and there is also a park nearby I can take the dog on walks whatever the weather may be!

Natasha has been AMAZING while we were gone. She looked after our three cats, very nervous and anxious cats while we were away and I have zero complaints at all. She kept me updated the whole time with photos and messages, how they were settling, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was there with them. She went above and beyond, stayed longer some days to make sure my cats were fed and happy before she left which she definitely did not have to do at all but is a credit to her character. Will definitely come back again if we plan another trip away at some point! Thanks so much!!

Emily is a great cat sitter, I'd happily recommend her to other cat owners. Emily got on with Luna straight away, and immediately understood his little quirks. She looked after him just as I asked. She's also given Luna extra stimulation by making him work to find his treats. Emily trusted Luna enough to give him some outside time, which is so important to him. I can't thank her enough for putting Luna's wellbeing ahead of any concerns she might have had that he wouldn't come back - understandably, most cat sitters wouldn't let him out. And Luna trusted Emily enough not to run away and hide until I came home, showing her easy ability to bond with a cat she's never met before. Emily went above and beyond, too - she saw the bird feeders in my garden were empty and asked if she could fill them, and has kept them topped up. Emily is clearly an animal lover, I hope she can look after Luna and my garden birds again next time I'm away.

Roz is a wonderful lady, she looked after Mack over the hot bank holiday weekend, making sure he had everything he needed. He is a complex cat who finds strangers hard to deal with when his human is away. She kept me updated everyday, making it easy to enjoy my time away. Would highly recommend. Thanks again Roz

Natalia took care of our cats for a week and visited them twice daily. Our three cats have three different food regimes and she made sure each cat ate their own food in all of the right amounts and timings through the day. She played with them and gave them plenty of attention and was always communicating clearly with us and sharing plenty of photos. When we got home they were very happy and stress free and I’d definitely book with her again.
