“Anne agreed to look after my two dogs for a few days very last minute which was much appreciated. Her responses were very quick and friendly and informative. Anne’s home is a wonderful place for dogs to go on holiday, beautiful rural setting with a lovely paddock right by the house for exercising. Anne is very experienced (which helped particularly with my elderly dog) and easy going, the dogs loved her. I would definitely recommend.”

“Erin and Alex were fantastic! Could not rate them highly enough. Sent me so many lovely photos, videos and messaging updates throughout Floyd's stay whilst we were on holiday. I felt like they did a brilliant job looking after Floyd and he seemed to have the best time! Will definitely be looking to book them in the future 😊”

“Julie was amazing with Joey. She made him feel right at home, was so loving and caring, and kept me updated with lots of photos throughout his stay. She really took the time to understand his needs and adapted to him effortlessly. It was clear how much she cared for him, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Joey with Julie again. Highly recommend!”
“Yekaterina was the nicest person we have left our boy with. She kept us updated and sent photos everyday.

“I'm a first time dog-lendee and I couldn't be happier with the boarding, love, care and attention offered to Inca by Tom and his lovely wife. Great communication and very welcoming but most of all a true animal lover. This could have so easily gone wrong with Inca's rescue background but Tom has dog-whispering skills like I've never seen before. I wouldn't hesitate to ask Tom to have Inca again because I know she's in safe and caring hands. Thank you.”
“Rebecca was fantastic and bruno really enjoyed his stay with her family and making friends with her dog Douglas. Rebecca kept myself and my partner updated during bruno's stay with plenty of pictures and messages to re assure us he was safe and loving his life. Bruno will definitely be returning ☺️”

You can tell how much they loved having him and I didn’t have a moments worry about him. He is booked in for another stay soon and we will 100% arrange more stays. I could not recommend them more highly as they have such a genuine love for dogs x 🐶🐾”

“Absolutely brilliant. I didn't have to worry at all whilst we were away, Clara did a fantastic job! The cats didn't show any signs of stress whilst we were gone, and when we came back they were healthy and happy. Clara kept in touch and sent photos and videos, I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Sophie was incredibly patient and flexible over the booking process (which was complicated due to some cat health issues that affected the booking times), and responded promptly and patiently to all my messages and my last-minute flailing around! Has been thoughtful, great with problem solving, communicative throughout, and took great care in staying with them during the sessions to ensure they’d had everything they needed, especially as one has been incredibly poorly lately. Has earned the trust of my two very finicky and anxious cats. Thank you Sophie!”
About: I don’t have my own cat (yet! It’s on the plans), but have looked after my mom’s 2 cats for the last 12 years. One of them became more attached to me than my mom, but she fits well with her friend so I never took her home with me when I moved out. Cats are easily misunderstood, but I find them just as warm and special, since they choose which human deserves their love and when they’re willing to show it <3
About: I’m a veterinary student with lots of experience cat sitting for neighbours including feeding, cleaning litter trays, administering basic care and spending time with them while owners were away. I have also spent time at a Cat’s protection. Through my studies and personal experience, I understand feline behaviour and the importance of creating a calm, safe environment for cats of different personalities and needs. I’m reliable, attentive and genuinely enjoy caring for animals.
“Emily was fantastic! She looked after our cat while we were out of town for a week and we are so grateful for the care and attention Emily gave to her. Emily was extremely responsive, professional, and communicative. Best of all, she sent lots of great pictures!”
“Amela is very reliable and gives great updates on my cat when I am away. Also has lots of common sense, when something didn't work the way she expected it to she immediately contacted me. I have no reservations to recommend her on her reliability and common sense attitude.”
“***Superstars*** Really can’t thank Jane and Lee enough for house sitting for us and looking after our two cats. We have come home to our house being cleaner than when we left and our two cats happy and stress free! - we had regular picture updates of our cats and lines of communication if we needed it. Highly recommended! (Lee even fixed our hoover which broke just before we left)”
About: I got my first cat when I was 6 years old. And from that time I have never stopped having cats until my moving to the UK from Ukraine. My kids adore cats as well. I know how to feed them, play, brush and even bath them.
About: Coming from a family of farmers in County Durham, I grew up surrounded by animals; dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, sheep, cows and horses! I have 5 cats and 2 dogs who all love to join in on walks! I’m very active and will make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. Previously done house sits and walking for dogs who all left with 5* reviews. I graduated university with a criminology degree and currently working part time so able to fit in to you and your pets schedule. I have my own means of transport - pet friendly, and able to take them to their usual or new spots. I am able to manage walking multiple dogs at once. I work part time, 4 days a week until 3pm. I am available to take your pets out either way. I’m an early riser to pet sitting can start any point in the day! I also have my own means of transport. I am consistent, reliable and luckily a housekeeper! Your home would be in very safe hands. In my own home my pets favourite place is my bedroom! I wake up to 3 cats and 2 dogs in my bed most mornings.

About: Hi, I’m Ella! I’m based in Hexham, a huge dog lover, and love being outdoors. Offering doggy daycare and walking on Rover is a natural fit for me and my home. I’ve cared for dogs for years and I'm owner to Angus, my friendly, neutered 6-year-old Spaniel. He’s completely dog-obsessed, loves company, and is always up for making a new best friend. Having a Spaniel means active daily routines are second nature to us—we love getting out into nature, exploring local routes, and keeping dogs happy and exercised! Services & Activities Provided: Dog Walking: 30 to 60-minute active walks tailored to your pup’s energy. Routes include local favourites like Tyne Green for easy river strolls, as well as trips further afield to woodland trails and country paths. Doggy Daycare: Full-day or half-day care in my home. Activities include supervised garden play with Angus, gentle treat puzzles, structured local walks, and cozy downtime on the sofa. Routine & Basic Care: Feeding on your regular schedule, fresh water refreshes, thorough towel-offs after muddy walks, and following any house rules or basic commands you use at home. Photo Updates: Photo and video check-ins sent throughout the day so you can see all the fun your dog is having. My Availability: I work full-time in teaching, which gives me fantastic, full-day availability for daycare and walks during the summer holidays, school term breaks, and over weekends! Outside of term breaks, I offer weekend daycare as well as evening and weekend walks. Angus and I would love to meet you and your pup! Feel free to drop me a message if you have any questions or want to arrange a quick meet-and-greet Even though I am on dog care duty with Angus every day, I am a full time teacher. During term time, I offer evening and weekend walks and daycare. During school holidays and weekends, pet care becomes my full-time daily focus! Your dog is treated as part of the household with access to a cozy, secure living space and fenced secure garden alongside Angus. I stick strictly to your usual feeding, walking, and care routines.
“Heather was loved by Betty and treated so well that Betty didn’t want to leave her when I came to take her back Heather kept me updated and kept to Betty’s routine and even when Betty didn’t keep to her own routine, Heather kept me updated and well informed Heather went above and beyond to make sure Betty was comfortable with bowls for her water, kept her company and entertained whilst also doing extra walks so Betty could explore and sniff around a brand new place No wonder she didn’t want to come back home with me!”
“Momo had a great time with Laura. Momo loved playing with Winston and came home happy and relaxed, and is now snoozing away. We received lots of lovely updates throughout the day. Great all round.”
“Stellar and adaptable dog day care when our holiday plans somewhat changed and transport was limited. Yuen’s and her family’s support for our plans and loving care for our special dog at short-notice were above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. We definitely recommend Yuen to anyone needing dog day care, and will seek her services on our future visits to the area.”
“What a lovely lady Emma is. Bruno had a fabulous day while we visited our son in Durham University. Really good updates on his day and felt confident that Emma and Bruno would get along.”
About: I have owned small dogs for many years and already care for friends medium sized dogs, (Fox and Bedlington terriers) in my home, boarding, short and long stay. Dogs will be walked on a lead twice per day for at least 30 mins per walk. I work from home weekdays with frequent breaks so your dog will be right next to my desk when not exploring around the house. Out for walkies on breaks and in the evening as well as playing in the garden when they want to. I have a fenced garden and they will have the run of the garden and downstairs during the day (weather permitting the patio doors will be open). Kitchen and utility room at night. The house is cool in summer and cosy in winter.
“Laura and Leandro are a lovely couple who took great care of Mabel! They kept me updated on how Mabel was doing with messages, photos and videos and are very responsive. Mabel got on well with their dog Sindy and I am happy to book Mabel in again with Laura and Leandro☺️”
About: As a dog owner, I understand how important exercise, mental stimulation, patience and a consistent routine are for a happy dog. My partner and I have experience boarding dogs, and we enjoy welcoming dogs with different personalities and energy levels into our home. We are happy to follow each dog’s usual routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise and affection. With our active Border Collie, Bowie, we also understand the importance of positive interaction, play and good company. We aim to make every dog feel relaxed, safe and at home during their stay. I’m also passionate about photography, so there’s a good chance your dog will come home with a few lovely photos from their stay! I’d be more than happy to share them with you, so you can see some of the adventures they’ve enjoyed while boarding with us. My partner and I have flexible schedules, one of us is always at home. If I’m working away, my partner is here, and vice versa, so your dog will always have company and care. Bowie gets at least three walks every day - in the morning, around lunchtime and in the evening. We have open fields nearby with plenty of space for dogs to run and explore, as well as a secure garden where they can relax, play and enjoy the outdoors. I always make sure dogs staying with us feel safe, comfortable and part of the family. Before each stay, I like to learn about the dog’s routine, personality, likes and dislikes, so I can provide care that suits them. Our home has a secure garden and plenty of open fields nearby for walks and play. Dogs staying with us will get at least three walks a day, with plenty of outdoor time and attention throughout the day.
“Vinnie was quite anxious and upset during his first visit with Emma due to his separation anxiety.. but she dealt with him brilliantly and knew how to help him feel more settled. She kept us up to date and sent photos of his time there, and he seemed very happy when we picked him up. Would definitely take him there again, and recommend to anyone else 😌”
“Helen T. Thank you for taking a last minute booking to look after Ash. We can tell she has had a happy day with walks and water breaks. We will be pleased to recommend Helen. We returned to happy paws and a calm dog. The photos are evidence of a lovely day. Thank you”
About: I was brought up on a farm so from a young age have cared for a variety of animals, I have experience with all animals from small furry friends and large dogs, horses etc, I also have experience with reptiles owning my own tortoise and bearded dragon. I volunteered at Northumberland Zoo and have always loved all animals. I own two cats and a a large Anatolian shepherd dog who I rescued 9 years ago. I am currently trying to make pet sitting my full time job so have plenty of time to care for your family pets! I am available late mornings and afternoons but can cater to most times of day just give me a message and I am happy to accommodate your requests and price ranges! I am fully dbs checked and previously worked in the NHS. I have completed my dog first aid course. I have access to a farm in which I can exercise your dogs and take them on lovely walks, I can cater to group or solo walks also. I have looked after and owned cats all my life, and I am happy to look after any age, breed or disability.
About: Dogs have been a central part of my life since I was 8 years old. Over the past 38+ years, I have cared for a wide variety of breeds, ranging from delicate toy breeds (Yorkshire Terriers, Maltese, Poodles, Bichon Frise) to majestic and large breeds like Afghan Hounds and Black Russian Terriers. I also have hands-on breeding experience: I whelped and raised a healthy litter of 6 Bichon Frise puppies, managing their full care, feeding, bathing, grooming, and socialization until they went to their loving forever homes. Because of this, I am very comfortable with full coat care (washing, blow-drying, brushing out mats) as well as administering oral or topical medications. What your dog will enjoy staying with me: • Constant Company & 24/7 Care: I work remotely from home full-time with a fully flexible schedule, meaning pets are never left unattended. I am always present to provide continuous care, safety, and companionship throughout the day. • Safe Environment: A private house with a fully fenced, secure backyard for safe play, plus a beautiful park within short walking distance for daily adventures. • Peaceful & Child-Free Home: No children in the household. I share my home with my friendly, small Yorkshire Terrier. • Flexible & Accommodating: If your dog prefers peace and quiet or doesn't like socializing with other dogs, I can easily provide them with their own private, comfortable room. Whether your pet needs active outdoor playtime, gentle senior care, medication, or just lots of cuddles and daily routine maintenance, they will be treated like family here! I work remotely from home with a fully flexible schedule, allowing me to easily adapt to your dog’s specific daily routine. Since I am at home all day, your pet will receive constant supervision, affection, and companionship. I enjoy taking regular daily walks to the nearby park, adhering strictly to set feeding schedules, and providing plenty of playtime. Your dog will never be left unattended or lonely. I offer a safe, child-free environment in a private home featuring a fully fenced, secure garden for off-leash play. I share our home with a friendly small Yorkshire Terrier, but if your dog prefers quiet or personal space, I can easily provide a comfortable separate room. With over 38 years of dog care experience and a breeder background, I prioritize health, safety, medication administration, and proper grooming.
“Kateryna was wonderful with our dog Arty and really helped at short notice! She kept me informed throughout the day with updates and pictures which was much appreciated.

About: Hi, I'm Claire, the owner of Hound & Hike, a professional dog walking and pet sitting service based in Hexham. After more than 18 years as a police officer, I chose to follow my passion for caring for animals by creating a business dedicated to providing reliable, compassionate and trustworthy care for your pets. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I've spent years caring for a wide variety of breeds, ages and personalities. From energetic working breeds and playful puppies to senior dogs, blind dogs and those needing medication or extra support, I understand that every dog is unique and deserves care tailored to their individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys adventurous countryside walks, relaxed local strolls, or simply companionship and reassurance while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy and loved every step of the way. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them the patience, kindness and attention they deserve. My policing career has equipped me with qualities that are invaluable in pet care: reliability, responsibility, excellent communication, attention to detail and the ability to remain calm and confident in any situation. As a trusted key holder, you can have complete peace of mind knowing your home and your pet are in safe hands. At Hound & Hike, your dog's safety, wellbeing and happiness are always my highest priorities. You'll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your best friend is enjoying their day. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your dog and become someone you can trust to care for them whenever you need. From 03/08, Hound & Hike is my full time role - offering dog walks and pet sitting predominantly Monday-Friday, but also occasional weekends. Please enquire 🙂 I am a trusted key holder, with safety and security being a priority - as well as giving your dog lots of love, care & attention (and treats if permitted!)

About: Highly comfortable around both cats and dogs with first-hand experience of petcare, having grown up around various different pets (including hamsters, guinea pigs and fish).

I will: ✅ Prioritise the safety of your pet(s) ✅ Ensure that they have access to food and water ✅ Provide lots of love and attention ✅ Keep you up to date with photos highlighting the time spent with your pet(s) Rest assured, my patience and respect for animals is unwavering.
“We booked Ben last minute over the weekend. He was very accommodating and got along so well with Bailey. He walked Bailey for over an hour and got him very tired and happy! Thank you very much for taking Bailey for a wonderful walk. We would definitely have Ben walking and take care of our dog. :)”

I have great deal of love and respect for individual dog needs and will pretty much do anything to make them feel safe and comfortable.
About: I have been raised around pets my entire life, and am confident in my ability to care for them. I have cared for both family and friends' pets in the past when needed, and now have my own. I currently study part time, so have plenty time to care for your pets. With summer coming up, my availability is much more flexible due to the term ending :) A pet's safety and comfort is really important to me - I always make sure to provide the care needed and make sure that their owner is confident they are being cared for.
“Very happy with my pups walks this week. Louise agreed to pick up these walks last minute as we had a cancellation with our other walker - this has really helped us out and we appreciated the walks she did with our dog. She took him on different walks each day and even gave him a bag of treats at the end. Thanks so much!”
About: I'm a 22-year-old dog lover and I've been looking after dogs all my life! I have a long term dog I babysit! A gorgeous 7 year old beagle spaniel cross called "Dennis." I have lots of references- especially Dennis' mum and dad and I have special training in anxious pups, overly active pups and training in senior doggies! I'm great with puppies too and I'm very active myself so they'll be getting that 'wearing -out' walk they deserve! I'm currently working part time but I'm available early mornings all week until around 10.30 am every day apart from Wednesdays. I'm free in the afternoons/ evening's most days as well bar a couple of days but that's all rota dependent as I'm a bartender so we'll have to liase ☺️ I live in a shared house, all dog lovers and all with lovely dogs at home and all willing to care and play with your little one! I do always preface this as a graduates house as I'm more than happy to come to your home to look after your pup if that's preferred, my house has got a back garden where they can play, we have lots of tennis balls and ball launches, etc and we live just by the lovely fields on the town moor and Leazes park.

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.
About: I’m a final year vet student (about to graduate) who has had 7 years of experience both in vet practices and in pre-clinical placements such as dog walking and boarding. This means I have plenty of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats! I am at home for the summer after finishing 5 years at vet school! I will be free during the days and evenings to take the best care of your pet :) I am happy and willing to comply with requests and considerations you might need to keep your pet happy and safe! I am careful and will always make sure your pet is happy and healthy.
About: I’ve been a round dogs my whole life and own Duncan a brilliant boxer/staffie mix. In my spare time I offer dog walking services in my local area. Im currently in the process of setting up my own online business from home. The hours i put into this project are worked around my own dog. I walk him 3 times per day and would happily add your dog into that mix. I have a fenced garden for your dog to play if they choose to do so. if you wish your dog to be in a crate that can also be arranged.
About: I’m a veterinary student with hands-on experience caring for animals of different ages, sizes and temperaments. I have done a range of volunteering/placement at different shelters and organisations. I’m confident handling energetic dogs as well as older pets who may need extra patience and attention. Through my studies and personal experience, I understand animal behaviour, health and safety, and husbandry. I always aim to make pets feel comfortable, cared for and happy while their owners are away. I’m reliable, communicative and genuinely love spending time with animals. I am in my summer holidays of uni with few other commitments so have plenty of time to look after and play with your pets! I enjoy keeping dogs physically and mentally stimulated with games, enrichment activities and exploring local parks and new walking routes. I always adapt to each dog’s energy levels and routine so they feel comfortable and happy.
“Very friendly, professional and prompt service. My dog seemed to have good time and came home ready for a nap. Though reluctant to leave with a stranger on the first day, she was keen to go out by day four. All in all a great service during a very busy time.”

Thank you so much 😀”

I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again. Thank you!”
“Dennis has another brilliant stay with Chendy, he’s been really well looked after and has come home with a lovely glossy coat and full of energy! Thanks Chendy, Terry and the dogs for looking after Dennis so well.”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Rosie. She had a great time, and I'm sure she was sad to come home. The updates were great, and I will definitely use Kirsty again. Couldn't recommend her more. Thanks again!”
“I'm a first time dog-lendee and I couldn't be happier with the boarding, love, care and attention offered to Inca by Tom and his lovely wife. Great communication and very welcoming but most of all a true animal lover. This could have so easily gone wrong with Inca's rescue background but Tom has dog-whispering skills like I've never seen before. I wouldn't hesitate to ask Tom to have Inca again because I know she's in safe and caring hands. Thank you.”
“Rebecca was fantastic and bruno really enjoyed his stay with her family and making friends with her dog Douglas. Rebecca kept myself and my partner updated during bruno's stay with plenty of pictures and messages to re assure us he was safe and loving his life. Bruno will definitely be returning ☺️”
“Another overnight stay to cover a diary clash! We changed our pick up time at the last minute, and Ros & Charles were very obliging. We would certainly book Jack in with them again, without hesitation!”
“Debs and Ben have taken such good care of Gino, sending updates where we could see how happy he was doing all of his favourite things. You can tell how much they loved having him and I didn’t have a moments worry about him. He is booked in for another stay soon and we will 100% arrange more stays. I could not recommend them more highly as they have such a genuine love for dogs x 🐶🐾”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn't be happier with Freya and the day care team looking after our Cavapoo puppy Alfie! From start to finish, the care and attention was outstanding — he was clearly having the best time. They took him on lots of walks throughout the day, sent us loads of gorgeous photos, and even a full day care diary so we knew exactly what he'd been up to. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Alfie came home happy and worn out (in the best way!). Can't recommend Freya highly enough — we'll absolutely be booking again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boy! 🐾❤️”
“Remi stayed with Helen for 5 days when we went on holiday. Helen was absolutely great with Remi and took him to loads of places to explore and just took great general care of him. She was really good with providing updates of their adventures. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for someone to care for your pups”
“As soon as Juno, our border terrier, met Jessica at the meet and greet, it was clear that they were going to get on. She then showed no anxiety when I left her for our week away. Jessica then sent me photos and updates and I was completely reassured that she was enjoying her stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jessica as she clearly loves dogs.”
“My dog Dolly stayed with Laura last night, and overall it was a good experience. She seemed happy and well looked after when I picked her up. Communication was great, and I got a couple of updates while she was there, which was really nice and reassuring. The place seemed safe and Dolly settled in quite quickly. I feel it went smoothly and I’d be happy to use her again in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have lots of hands-on experience caring for different breeds, including Border Collies, West Highland Terriers, Spaniels and Labradors. I regularly look after dogs for family and friends and have my own two-year-old Labrador, Joey. I’m confident with feeding, walks, playtime, routines and giving dogs plenty of attention and company. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with who is looking after your dog, so I’d always treat any dog staying with me as part of the family. I work from home, so dogs in my care will have plenty of company throughout the day. I can fit walks, feeding, playtime and toilet breaks around their usual routine. I’m happy to walk dogs individually or alongside my own dog, Joey, depending on what they’re most comfortable with. I’m available for selected weekends and overnight stays, as well as drop ins to your home and dog walking. I have a secure, fully enclosed back garden with no external gate or access, so dogs can only enter and leave through the house. I have my own friendly two-year-old Labrador, Joey, who absolutely loves other dogs and is very sociable. He has stayed with other dogs himself and has always got on brilliantly with them. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking and sleeping routines and any specific instructions you provide. Dogs staying with me will be treated as part of the family, with plenty of attention, supervision and a relaxed home environment. I’m also very happy to arrange a meet beforehand so you and your dog can meet me and Joey and make sure everyone is comfortable.
