“We was let down last minute, by our regular dog sitter, I downloaded the rover app and came across Gina! A blessing in disguise 🙏 Gina is so lovely and kind and sent me regular updates of my dog luna, while I was away, luna was loving life and had her own mini holiday with Gina, lots photos and videos of belly rubs, cuddles, walks, playing in the garden. I knew my luna was in safe hands, thank you Gina for taking care of luna. I would recommend you 100%”

“If I could give more stars I would. Julie has looked after our 6 month old boy for the weekend and I couldn’t have asked to find anyone better. She has taken him out for plenty of walks and socialising, she’s played with him, cuddled him and looked after him as if he were his own. Julie kept me updated throughout with lots of photos. Maverick had the best weekend, and if you need a sitter please look no further than Julie, your dog will have the best time!”

“Jack's first (and definitely NOT his last!) stay with Ros & Charles. They welcomed Jack into their home & looked after him so well for us, he settled in straight away. He's an anxious border collie, but they took all his "foibles" into their plans, and made sure he was always happy. We had regular updates & some lovely photos. He got 10/10 on his end of stay report - lots of positive feedback! Ros & Charles have a wonderfully safe enclosed garden, and live on a nice quiet road, so it was perfect for Jack. Looking forward to booking him in with them again soon! Highly recommended.”

“Julie looked after our beloved dogs, a Cocker Spaniel and a miniature Dachshund, for 11 nights while we enjoyed a much-needed family holiday abroad. Julie was absolutely fantastic! Our dogs are quite needy and require that extra bit of attention, and Julie confidently cared for both of them, giving them all the love, attention and reassurance they needed. She sent us daily updates and lovely photos of their adventures and trips out, which was wonderful for us to see while we were away. Knowing that our dogs were having their own bespoke holiday too really helped us relax and enjoy our time away, knowing they were happy, settled and in such good hands. We honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better to look after them and would highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for someone caring, trustworthy and reliable. ❤️”

I was sent pics and vids throughout his stay for the night, and by the looks of it, all 3 of them had the best time, it made me jealous! 😂 Kat and her husband are some of the kindest people I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with for dog boarding and will 10000% be using them in the future. Thank you again!! ☺️”

As soon as Alfie arrived he seemed at ease straight away and had a wonder around the garden. Biancka kept me updated and sent photos. Bianka even slept downstairs on the sofa with Alfie because he would not go upstairs ❤️🐶 I will be sure to ask Bianka to have Alfie again”

“Wow! What can I say! William is a fantastic doggy sitter who just “gets it”! He totally understood how anxious my little lily was, post big move. He let her take the lead and played endlessly to soothe her. I’ve never left lily before with anyone who wasn’t a friend so this was BIG! I can’t recommend William highly enough. Thank you for taking such great care of my girl. 🐾🐕‍🦺🦴”

About: I grew up with flat coated retrievers and took responsibility for a lot of their walking, feeding and grooming, so I have a lot of experience with medium/large dogs with lots of energy. I currently have two fur babies of my own, a wonderful pair of (almost too) friendly flat coated retrievers who keep me on my toes. I'm used to managing their cheeky personalities, exercise requirements and need for love and cuddles. I have a little informal experience dog sitting having looked after other peoples dogs in my house a couple of times in the past. I predominantly work from home but with occasional work travel so I entirely understand how important it is to feel confident and comfortable leaving your beloved dogs with someone else. I work largely from home and have two dogs of my own. Mine get fed three times a day. We typically go out 3 times a day (morning and evening sniffy lead walks) and a lunchtime or straight after work off lead romp in the nearby fields and woodland. I can accommodate boarding when I'm not required to travel for work myself (see availability. Other commitments permitting I can offer weekend day care. I have two of my own very friendly dogs so your pet will have company even when I'm busy at my desk. I have a securely fenced garden with easy access to a communal field directly to the rear of my house for short romps. There are also a lot of walks around me for off-lead (if appropriate) exploring which great sniffs and space to run off their energy. I have space to accommodate a crate if you prefer your dog to be crated. I can also arrange for your dog to be separated from my own overnight or they can enjoy the sleep over with company.

About: We have both grown up with dogs and have spent years helping care for our family pets. From daily walks and feeding to playtime and lots of affection, caring for dogs has always been part of our lives. Since moving away from home to Northumberland, we really miss having dogs around. We know every dog has their own personality and routine and we're happy to adapt to their individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, energetic play or simply relaxing with company, we will make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. We're reliable and committed to treating every dog as if they were our own. We know how important it is to trust the people looking after your pet, and we'll always provide plenty of photos and communication so you can have peace of mind while your pup is with us! I, Megan, work from home most days, so I have plenty of flexibility. I’m available to walk dogs in the evenings, mornings, and offer boarding on weekends. Jake works weekdays but is home and available on weekends too. Our weekends are usually cosy and relaxed, enjoying nature walks and spending quality time outdoors. We’d love to have your dog join us! We have a secure, fully fenced back garden where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time. We’re happy to be flexible and adapt to each dog’s individual needs, routines and personality. We’ll follow their usual feeding, walking and sleeping routines as closely as possible, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe and cared for while staying with us.

I’m confident caring for dogs with different personalities, routines and needs, and I’m always happy to follow your usual routine to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy and well looked after.

About: I have a beautiful Labrador called Rex and my whole family have dogs! Love getting out on walks and would treat any dog as part of the family. I currently own a gorgeous black Labrador called Rex I’m free most weekends for drop in visits or evening visits, perfect if your out for the day! I can do multiple check ins or walks when your out My lab is sometimes lead reactive when meeting new dogs so I am very limited to caring for dogs when I have Rex, unless we arrange to meet and the dogs got used to each other over time I do work full time Monday-Friday, so can discuss daily arrangements to suit you. I have a fenced yard and fenced garden to keep dogs safe. I live local to a park for some lovely walks. Happy for them to be a part of the family when staying with me and can sleep where ever they’re comfortable!

About: Me and my husband currently have two female dogs - a Labragotto and a Dalmatian They both love to play with other dogs and are very friendly with everyone. When I leave my pets in the hands of someone else, I expect them to receive a home-from-home experience. I therefore will do the same for any pets that I care for! I will also tailor the needs for each pet according to their owners wishes. For example, I allow my pets on the furniture but if you would prefer for your pet to not be on the furniture we can amend our lifestyle to suit that! I have always been around animals growing up, I looked after my two family dogs, horses, a cat, rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters! My husband is also well versed with animals, having grown up with a dog and a cat! 🐈‍⬛ I am a student midwife and so I am not working right now which means I have all the time to spend with four-legged friends 🐾 My husband works from home, so we are both on hand for separate walk routines if needed. Our dogs require a lot of exercise, we aim to walk at least 3 times a day but we can make adjustments accordingly for dogs with various fitness requirements! I have an unfenced garden but can but can put up temporary fencing. For toilet breaks I tend to put my dogs on leads to take them out anyways which helps their lead training. The house is fully safety proofed with no hazards. There is always someone home so your pet will never be left on their own.

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

“We left our 16 month old Cavachon, Baguette with Ros and Charles for a night. It was her first night away from us and so we did wonder about how she would get on. Ros and Charles were just wonderful and took amazing care of Baguette. They took note of every detail, doted on her from the time they met her and she felt immediately at ease. So did we :) I cant recommend them enough. I wish they lived closer to us as I would have loved leaving Baguette with them over and over again. Thank you Ros and Charles!”

About: Been around dogs most of my life:) Cared for a range including Golden retrievers, Cavapoos, Huskies, Malamutes, Border Collies, Daschunds, Pugs & Frenchies. I’ve moved over from Jersey and miss having doggy company! Love the chance to care for and spoil some pups again! I can work from home and my hours are flexible to work around the pups needs when doing so! Plus I already require daily walks myself 😆 I’m afraid I can’t commit to open ended repeat walks/visits as availability fluctuates so requests would require an end date. Also for bookings much further away I may need to add a couple quid to the rate just to cover my travel (as Rover takes a fair bit!) but that can be discussed on a case by case basis :) I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or staying at your home, I’ll stick to their usual routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they’re well cared for. On walks, I keep things safe and go at their pace. My goal is to make sure your pet feels relaxed and loved until you’re back, tailoring to their individual needs! For stays in my own home, I should note that I have a housemate so it wouldn’t just be me around the dog.

About: Me and my husband currently have two female dogs - a Labragotto and a Dalmatian They both love to play with other dogs and are very friendly with everyone. When I leave my pets in the hands of someone else, I expect them to receive a home-from-home experience. I therefore will do the same for any pets that I care for! I will also tailor the needs for each pet according to their owners wishes. For example, I allow my pets on the furniture but if you would prefer for your pet to not be on the furniture we can amend our lifestyle to suit that! I have always been around animals growing up, I looked after my two family dogs, horses, a cat, rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters! My husband is also well versed with animals, having grown up with a dog and a cat! 🐈‍⬛ I am a student midwife and so I am not working right now which means I have all the time to spend with four-legged friends 🐾 My husband works from home, so we are both on hand for separate walk routines if needed. Our dogs require a lot of exercise, we aim to walk at least 3 times a day but we can make adjustments accordingly for dogs with various fitness requirements! I have an unfenced garden but can but can put up temporary fencing. For toilet breaks I tend to put my dogs on leads to take them out anyways which helps their lead training. The house is fully safety proofed with no hazards. There is always someone home so your pet will never be left on their own.

About: I grew up with flat coated retrievers and took responsibility for a lot of their walking, feeding and grooming, so I have a lot of experience with medium/large dogs with lots of energy. I currently have two fur babies of my own, a wonderful pair of (almost too) friendly flat coated retrievers who keep me on my toes. I'm used to managing their cheeky personalities, exercise requirements and need for love and cuddles. I have a little informal experience dog sitting having looked after other peoples dogs in my house a couple of times in the past. I predominantly work from home but with occasional work travel so I entirely understand how important it is to feel confident and comfortable leaving your beloved dogs with someone else. I work largely from home and have two dogs of my own. Mine get fed three times a day. We typically go out 3 times a day (morning and evening sniffy lead walks) and a lunchtime or straight after work off lead romp in the nearby fields and woodland. I can accommodate boarding when I'm not required to travel for work myself (see availability. Other commitments permitting I can offer weekend day care. I have two of my own very friendly dogs so your pet will have company even when I'm busy at my desk. I have a securely fenced garden with easy access to a communal field directly to the rear of my house for short romps. There are also a lot of walks around me for off-lead (if appropriate) exploring which great sniffs and space to run off their energy. I have space to accommodate a crate if you prefer your dog to be crated. I can also arrange for your dog to be separated from my own overnight or they can enjoy the sleep over with company.

Alex was extremely responsive and clearly communicated throughout the booking process and whilst Milo was at his house, giving us an early update to reassure us he was all good!

About: Hi, I’m Amber! I have two small dogs of my own, and we absolutely adore having other dogs around. I’ve been caring for dogs professionally for over 8 years through my own dog-care business, so your dog will be in experienced and caring hands. I have experience with dogs of all ages and backgrounds, including puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs and dogs with behavioural needs. While I’m not a dog trainer, I’m experienced in managing different personalities and will always follow your instructions and routines to make sure your dog is comfortable and well cared for. I provide a home-from-home environment where dogs can enjoy plenty of attention, play and enrichment throughout the day. Walks, potty breaks, toys, supervised play and plenty of cuddles are all part of their stay. I also have a particular interest in dog nutrition and even enjoy baking homemade dog treats! I’m present in my home throughout the day, so dogs aren’t left alone for long periods. I also hold a Pet First Aid & CPR qualification and have a pet first-aid kit available. As I don’t drive, daycare is available for dogs who live within approximately 2 miles of my home in Gosforth, with owners providing drop-off and collection. Drop-off and collection is available 7am–6pm, Monday–Saturday. I want every dog who stays with me to feel safe, relaxed and genuinely at home. 🐶❤️ Heat and recent surgery: I do not accept dogs who are currently in heat, have recently finished a heat, or are showing signs of coming into heat. I also cannot accept dogs who are currently recovering from a spay or other recent surgery. Please let me know about any recent or upcoming heat cycles or surgery when making an enquiry. I work from home and provide dog care full-time, so I’m able to spend the day caring for the dogs staying with me. I’m present throughout the day and can provide regular toilet breaks, exercise, play, enrichment and attention. My daycare hours are Monday–Saturday, with drop-off and collection between 7am and 6:30pm Dogs staying with me have access to a secure, fenced back garden where they can safely play and explore, as well as a gated front garden with additional plastic-coated garden mesh. I also have two friendly small dogs of my own, so your dog can have company if they are comfortable around other dogs. I always consider each dog’s individual temperament and needs when supervising interactions. I have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and have looked after puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs and dogs with behavioural needs. I also hold a Pet First Aid & CPR qualification and keep a pet first-aid kit at home. As I work from home, I am present throughout the day rather than leaving dogs alone for long periods.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs for as long as I can remember, labs, boxers, pointers, golden doodles. I currently own a small sprocker called Daisy, she’s a typical mischievous spaniel! We had all those dogs from pups, so know how to look after young dogs as well as old dogs, our labs lived to be 15! I’m currently working from home, as is my husband. I love it as it means I get to spend more time with Daisy! But I’m home every day, and my husband is home 3 days a week :) We have a large garden which runs around the house, it is completely fenced off and safe. If Daisy the spaniel hasn’t found a way out I’m not sure any dog will! There’s lots of plants and hiding spots for sniffing!

About: I've been around dogs my whole life, since I was just about able to walk actually. My family, both immediate and extended, has always kept dogs and I've always made it my mission to have a good rapport with them. I'm passionate about their care and making sure they're well looked after. I have a fully enclosed garden and live 5 minutes away from Cramlington nature reserve and some wide open fields below the hospital. We're big fans of enrichment games and general playing if your dog likes it. I do understand however, that every dog is unique and some may just want to chill out on their own. Please let me know as much information as you can give about your pet and their unique personality, likes, dislikes etc. I have experience with anxious dogs and trigger issues, as my own Springer, Bailey, is an anxious lad and has various triggers when outside in the world, so I've learned a lot firsthand with him. He is a great house dog, just the world is very overwhelming for him at times. I'm currently between jobs, so I am totally free to take care of and devote all my attention to your best friend as long as they are in my care. I have a totally enclosed garden and live very close to Cramlington Nature Reserve and a multitude of other walking paths. They will be entirely free to roam the house as they please, sit on the sofas or lounge in the garden (weather permitting, of course). They will be treated as my own when in my care. Plenty of enrichment games, be it a snuffle mat, folded up kitchen roll tubes to shred etc.

About: I grew up on a farm in the north of Ukraine, and as far back as I can remember, I was surrounded by animals, cats, dogs, turkeys, geese, chickens, cows, horses. My dad taught me how to understand the nature, behavior and needs of animals, how to give them first aid. I came to England after the war started and was pleasantly surprised by how much the British love dogs. Years ago, my parents adopted a dog from a shelter and we went through dog training as a family. I also have a cat named Marquis, a Maikun breed, whom I adopted in 2017. He now lives in Kyiv with my sister. Currently I consider it as a temporary job because I love walking and I love animals, so got advised to register here to help you take care of your cuties. I live with my sponsor and she has 2 wonderful dogs who have become my therapy, family, and love. Every week I help a charity shop in Blyth that fully provides a dog shelter, and I also constantly help Ukrainian shelters online, reading articles on the news.

About: I have 2 years of experience as a degree level lecturer teaching canine and feline behaviour, welfare, husbandry and Training. In addition to this, I have a First class honours degree in Canine and Feline Behaviour and Welfare and have had pets since I was born, growing up with dogs, cats, hamsters and rabbits. I began working in the animal industry at 16 in aquariums and zoos and took my first step into caring for dogs professionally through helping my sister open a dog day care in the North East. Since then, I have gone to university, have achieved a 1st in my Bsc (hons) Degree in Canine and Feline behaviour and welfare, immediately progressed to teaching the very degree I just completed for the last 2 years and intend on spending my career helping dogs and owners to lead happy and fulfilling lives. I can train puppies and adult dogs using various techniques including: obedience, life skills, behavioural modification and scent training. Which means I can continue any ongoing training following your existing training plan. All training and husbandry is only done using positive based techniques (I do not use aversive based training). Currently I am still working as a lecturer until September. So I am only available Friday- Monday until September 4th. Should you attain my services I will be at the property full-time. So you do not need to worry about your dog being left alone. The only time your pets will be alone is if I need to go to the shop to buy food. Good relationships with a dog and parents are based on high levels of kindness and understanding. Any pet in my care will always be treated like family, where there are no limits to what you would do to give them their best life. In addition, any "house rules" or requirements will be strictly followed including pet care/lifestyle and living arrangements.

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.

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. So perfect for both short, long and even playful walks 🐕

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.

About: I’m looking at starting my own dog walking/ pet sitting business, I’d like this to be my full time job! What I Offer: • hour long dog walks and outdoor adventures • Pick-up and drop-off included • Quiet routes available for reactive or nervous dogs • Full day dog walks, like a day care but out and about for the day since I live in a rental but want to offer this service! So I’ll come collect your pet! And take them out for the day and drop them off at a time that’s suitable for you! (Please let me know if they need a solo walk! Or if they can be in a group! ) • Cat care and drop ins, along with litter cleaning available upon request Whether your dog needs exercise, your cat needs a clean space, or your pet just needs someone who gets it, I’m here to help. Let’s give your pets the care and fun they deserve while giving you peace of mind. 💛 Little bit about me! Hi! I’m Jess, Im 22 years old and have been surrounded by animals my entire life from dogs and cats to guinea pigs, tortoises, bearded dragons, rabbits, and even chickens. Caring for a wide variety of pets has taught me how to handle them with patience, understanding, and love. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning litter trays, or creating a safe and comfortable environment, I’m happy to help. Right now, I have a rescue dog who has been very nervous and sensitive to noises so I truly understand how to work with anxious or reactive dogs. She’s come such a long way, and I’ve helped her grow more confident and calm with consistent care, training, and daily exercise. I’ve also had high-energy breeds (like german shepherds and border collies!) and know how to tailor walks and routines to fit each dog’s needs. Currently my availability is wide open! So I’d happily walk your dog or look after your pet early in the morning or later on at night! Drop in visits are also perfect for me! So I’d happily pop along and spend some time with your little one! Twice if needed! I can pick up and drop off no problem at all! If you’d be out all day I can do doggy day care for £25 however I’d be taking them out for a day trip like rothbury or forrest walks stuff like that, just because my house is a bit small and I rent but I’d like to offer this service since I have a car please get in touch tho if your interested in the doggy day care! I’d supply dog towels if it was raining or go somewhere quite sheltered also if you’d prefer me not to walk in muddy areas I can also do that! Cause I understand how bringing a muddy dog back would be a pain! When pets are in my home I try to make them as comfortable as possible! They are allowed to sit on my sofa no problem and with blankets too! With my own pets I have a set routine so they know when they are going to be fed and when going to bed since I like a routine myself! My rescues border collie likes to have her own bed so she has a cage she sleeps in at night to make her feel safe! So if your pet does to that is completely fine!

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.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs for as long as I can remember, labs, boxers, pointers, golden doodles. I currently own a small sprocker called Daisy, she’s a typical mischievous spaniel! We had all those dogs from pups, so know how to look after young dogs as well as old dogs, our labs lived to be 15! I’m currently working from home, as is my husband. I love it as it means I get to spend more time with Daisy! But I’m home every day, and my husband is home 3 days a week :) We have a large garden which runs around the house, it is completely fenced off and safe. If Daisy the spaniel hasn’t found a way out I’m not sure any dog will! There’s lots of plants and hiding spots for sniffing!

About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs since I was a young child. I grew up with collies, lab and staffie mixes, and rescue cats. I currently have a very dog friendly cat if you are looking for some socialisation, but she is equally happy doing her own thing if you would prefer they remain separate. I work from home with access to a secure garden, and woodland walks only a couple of minutes from my house. I'm available all days, evenings and weekends with notice. I have a pet cat who is friendly with dogs, however she has her own secure room in the house where she can retreat to if she needs to. I have a fenced garden and a dog-friendly cat, however she can be secured away in a different part of the house if necessary. I have a crate that can be used if necessary. I drive and I am located within easy reach of several 24 hour veterinary practices.

“If I could give more stars I would. Julie has looked after our 6 month old boy for the weekend and I couldn’t have asked to find anyone better. She has taken him out for plenty of walks and socialising, she’s played with him, cuddled him and looked after him as if he were his own. Julie kept me updated throughout with lots of photos. Maverick had the best weekend, and if you need a sitter please look no further than Julie, your dog will have the best time!”

“Jack's first (and definitely NOT his last!) stay with Ros & Charles. They welcomed Jack into their home & looked after him so well for us, he settled in straight away. He's an anxious border collie, but they took all his "foibles" into their plans, and made sure he was always happy. We had regular updates & some lovely photos. He got 10/10 on his end of stay report - lots of positive feedback! Ros & Charles have a wonderfully safe enclosed garden, and live on a nice quiet road, so it was perfect for Jack. Looking forward to booking him in with them again soon! Highly recommended.”

About: Been around dogs most of my life:) Cared for a range including Golden retrievers, Cavapoos, Huskies, Malamutes, Border Collies, Daschunds, Pugs & Frenchies. I’ve moved over from Jersey and miss having doggy company! Love the chance to care for and spoil some pups again! I can work from home and my hours are flexible to work around the pups needs when doing so! Plus I already require daily walks myself 😆 I’m afraid I can’t commit to open ended repeat walks/visits as availability fluctuates so requests would require an end date. Also for bookings much further away I may need to add a couple quid to the rate just to cover my travel (as Rover takes a fair bit!) but that can be discussed on a case by case basis :) I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or staying at your home, I’ll stick to their usual routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they’re well cared for. On walks, I keep things safe and go at their pace. My goal is to make sure your pet feels relaxed and loved until you’re back, tailoring to their individual needs! For stays in my own home, I should note that I have a housemate so it wouldn’t just be me around the dog.

Clive needs a lot of training and hands on as he’s currently in adolescence and can be very mischievous but Jessica was brilliant with him. Regular updates were really helpful to keep my mind at ease during the stay. Thank you both so much ♥️”

About: I grew up with flat coated retrievers and took responsibility for a lot of their walking, feeding and grooming, so I have a lot of experience with medium/large dogs with lots of energy. I currently have two fur babies of my own, a wonderful pair of (almost too) friendly flat coated retrievers who keep me on my toes. I'm used to managing their cheeky personalities, exercise requirements and need for love and cuddles. I have a little informal experience dog sitting having looked after other peoples dogs in my house a couple of times in the past. I predominantly work from home but with occasional work travel so I entirely understand how important it is to feel confident and comfortable leaving your beloved dogs with someone else. I work largely from home and have two dogs of my own. Mine get fed three times a day. We typically go out 3 times a day (morning and evening sniffy lead walks) and a lunchtime or straight after work off lead romp in the nearby fields and woodland. I can accommodate boarding when I'm not required to travel for work myself (see availability. Other commitments permitting I can offer weekend day care. I have two of my own very friendly dogs so your pet will have company even when I'm busy at my desk. I have a securely fenced garden with easy access to a communal field directly to the rear of my house for short romps. There are also a lot of walks around me for off-lead (if appropriate) exploring which great sniffs and space to run off their energy. I have space to accommodate a crate if you prefer your dog to be crated. I can also arrange for your dog to be separated from my own overnight or they can enjoy the sleep over with company.

About: We have both grown up with dogs and have spent years helping care for our family pets. From daily walks and feeding to playtime and lots of affection, caring for dogs has always been part of our lives. Since moving away from home to Northumberland, we really miss having dogs around. We know every dog has their own personality and routine and we're happy to adapt to their individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, energetic play or simply relaxing with company, we will make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. We're reliable and committed to treating every dog as if they were our own. We know how important it is to trust the people looking after your pet, and we'll always provide plenty of photos and communication so you can have peace of mind while your pup is with us! I, Megan, work from home most days, so I have plenty of flexibility. I’m available to walk dogs in the evenings, mornings, and offer boarding on weekends. Jake works weekdays but is home and available on weekends too. Our weekends are usually cosy and relaxed, enjoying nature walks and spending quality time outdoors. We’d love to have your dog join us! We have a secure, fully fenced back garden where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time. We’re happy to be flexible and adapt to each dog’s individual needs, routines and personality. We’ll follow their usual feeding, walking and sleeping routines as closely as possible, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe and cared for while staying with us.

About: I have always had a love of dogs and currently have a three year old English bulldog. He loves having pals around and we are looking to take on boarding and treat your dog like our own. I work from home so am always in and like to walk different places. We treat our dog like a member of the family, so there is nowhere off limits in our home, including furniture. I only board on the days I am off or work from home. I like to work morning and afternoon minimum and lunch time heat dependant. Come rain or shine. I have my own dog so ask that yours will be on with this and follow the same routine I have a fenced rear garden and will treat your dog like my own. They will sleep upstairs with us and have the run of the house. If we go out, it is no longer than two hours.
