“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!”
“Yvonne and David are so lovely, we felt from the meet & greet that our boys would be well looked after, and they definitely were! They dealt with Kenny's anxiety and Geoff's general grumpiness so well, we weren't ever worried about them. We also got great pics and videos, absolutely going to rebook.”
“We had such a great experience leaving Vader with them and honestly couldn’t have asked for better care From the start they were friendly, polite, and really easy to communicate with, which made the whole process feel stress-free. While we were away, they kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which we really appreciated, and it was so reassuring to see how happy and settled he was. It was obvious Vader was completely comfortable and having the best time (I genuinely think he would’ve happily stayed longer!!) They really embraced his personality as well, even his obsession with bringing his collection of sticks in the house lol, which made it feel like he was properly understood and cared for, not just “looked after.” When we picked him up he was absolutely exhausted, which says everything; clearly lots of walks, playtime, and attention. We wont hesitate to book with them again and would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely great with dogs”
“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 ☺️”
“Left our 3 year old Labrador with Jake this past weekend and Jake was very good with him. His communication with messages, photos and video was excellent. Our dog is typical in that he needs loads of exercise and Jake took him out as much as he could. We’ve got no complaints with Jake and will use him again and would recommend him to everyone.”
“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 😊”
“This was our first time using a dog sitter, and I was a little nervous, but Brianna was fantastic. She took great care of our dog Betsy, kept me updated with messages and photos, and made the whole experience stress-free. My dog was happy and well looked after. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again. Thank you!”
“Jessica is a lovely, warm and friendly person and has an obvious love and enthusiam for dogs. Our dog Dexter had an overnight stay with Jessica when we visited Gateshead and he had a wonderful time, going for walks and making friends with Jessica's own dog. We had great communication before and during Dexter's stay. As we left Dexter was virtually hugging Jessica goodbye! I'm only sorry we live so far away as I would use Jessica on a regular basis and will do so if we visit the area again, I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“I would definitely recommend Emma. I could see that my dog was being looked after with the upmost of care and attention, it was like a little holiday for my dog ( Tia Maria ) . I received updates such as messages and also photos of the daily walks which kept me at ease as I could see that my dog was enjoying her stay at Emma’s. I definitely recommend booking with Emma, 10 out of 10 from me and 10 out of 10 from Tia Maria . I will be booking Emma again, so pleased my dog was happy being there. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩”
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 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.

“Lauren has looked after our two staffies twice now and we couldn’t happier with the level of care. She’s brilliant at sending regular updates and great at wrangling our big bundles of energy. We can tell how much our girls love staying because this time when we dropped them off they ran to the front door!”
“Csilla is absolutely wonderful. She is very experienced and has a calm energy which any dog would respond well to. My anxious (rescue) Chihuahua was instantly comfortable at the meet and greet and came home from his overnight stay happy and relaxed. I’m delighted and my dog is already looking forward to a week’s holiday with Csilla.”
“Absolutely fantastic care by Ann ans Simon. They took great care, and really thought about what would make her happy on her stay. Winnie was a little sad to leave when it was time to say goodbye. I couldn’t recommend Ann enough!”
“Delphi always enjoys her stays at Bills. She is exercised and stimulated in a really considered way. Taken to new places and given chances for exploration. We always appreciate Bill’s updates and knowing how settled and content Delphi is. Thank you”
“I could not recommend Jenny enough! Beautiful person and she clearly knows what she’s doing when it comes to dogs! She looked after our 4 cockers and as nervous owners doing this the first time she really set our minds at ease. Would definitely use her again! 5* service.”

“Serene has been absolutely amazing! She has looked after my 3 cats perfectly. Twice a day I received updates and photos whilst I was away and Serene took note of what they enjoyed doing. I couldn’t recommend highly enough! Thank you! x”
About: I was bought up on a farm in New Zealand and have had many different pets over the years. Cats have always been a part of my life. I couldn't think of a better animal to have as a pet. I currently have one cat who I absolutely adore. I am required to administer medication to her twice a day, so I have no problem if medication is required for any cat that I may be lucky enough to look after. I have looked after friends cats in the past both in their homes and through daily visits. I have been thinking about taking up cat sitting for some time now, however a busy job has prevented me from doing this. I have very recently been made redundant which now gives me the opportunity to do something I would love. I am recently DBS checked.
About: Whilst running my pet care services business I had 2 main cat clients, one very affectionate and who wanted lots of attention and another who wished only to be fed and left alone! I’m comfortable giving cats medication if required, and of course providing lots of attention and play if they want it.
“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.”
“Katie was absolutely amazing, and I'll definitely be recommending her and booking her again. Her communication was excellent throughout. She provided detailed Rover cards and always kept me up to date with any changes or concerns. She took fantastic care of Cleo and made me feel completely comfortable leaving her in Katie's care. Even though Cleo is a very shy cat, Katie was patient enough to gain her trust, and within a few days she was able to pet and play with her. When Cleo managed to get out through an upstairs window, Katie handled the situation calmly and kept me updated throughout. She followed the plan we agreed to make sure Cleo could get back inside safely, and I really appreciated how reassuring and proactive she was. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Katie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter.”
About: I'm a caring and reliable cat sitter who understands that every cat has their own personality and routine. Whether your cat is playful and sociable or shy and independent, I'll provide patient, attentive care tailored to their needs. I'm experienced in looking after cats of different ages and temperaments, making sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter tray, plenty of affection if they want it, and a calm, stress-free environment while you're away. My goal is to help your cat feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.
“Tasha was great with our cats having so much experience with her own we felt like our two would be right at home with her and we were right :) It was a last minute booking we needed but she made time to visit us the day before to meet our cats and go over their needs (as fitz especially is a weird one and bee hasn’t been dealing with the heat too well) She sent the most photos we’ve ever gotten from a cat sitter which really put our minds at ease. Thank you so much!”
“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 grew up in a 3 cat household and have always been a cat lover. All of ours lived to be around 18/19 years old and lived very full and loving lives. In my adult life I have cared for friends/family cats when they have been away on holiday and enjoy the interactions with cats in general.

I get her out for a walk either before work or at lunch (45mins-hour) and usually a short block walk of an evening (15-20mins) I have lots of time to keep your fur baby company, I enjoy engaging pups in play and teaching new tricks! I am used to a safe home environment (fenced) however I can accommodate with the use of a lead if needed.
“Kira looked after our cat Rosie whilst we were away and she was perfect! Kira kept us updated, sent pictures and i could tell she gave her lots of care and special attention! We came home to a very happy healthy kitty! Thank you Kira for being an amazing pet sitter! Will definitely recommend and re-book 😊”

“Julie, is a really lovely lady. She is very caring and loving with my dog Sully. He has been going to Julie for daycare for almost 3 months now. He always comes back very happy and content. Sully, is always kept active with 2 walks a day and Julie, keeps me posted with pictures and video updates, regularly. I would highly recommend Julie to anyone.”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals, mostly dogs, having run my own pet care and mess cleaning service a few years ago (Furry Friends Cleanup Crew). I am very comfortable with dogs, cats and other animals of all sizes and temperaments. Having said this, it’s still important that I meet your furry companions before a sit to give them a chance to know me and so they’re more comfortable during our time together. I’m lucky enough to have a flexible work from home role so pet care works very well with my lifestyle. As long as you are happy for me to bring my laptop along I am able to house/pet sit as long as you need. I have my own car and a clean driving license. At my home I have plenty of room and a high walled garden, so plenty of safety and space. I make sure to give dogs as many bathroom breaks as they need when sitting, wether that means taking them for frequent walks or simply letting them out in the garden if that is the preference.
“Griffin had a great time with Laura and Leandro, it was his first time being minded and he seemed to enjoy it. We were sent photos and updates, and they were very accommodating with our late notice booking. Would definitely reccomend! :)”
“Elsa loves her afternoons with Aviral, she’s so excited to see them and is well looked after. Reassuring to know we can leave her somewhere safe where she is happy.”
About: My partner and I have had our own dogs, and family dogs in which we have taken care of diligently for most of our lives. Our soft love, playful personalities and calm approach around dogs enables us to comfortably have dogs around us. With plenty of affection, lots of walks and tail wags our love for dogs is unmatched. We have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages but we prefer those between the ages of 2-10 years old, but we are flexible to accommodate all. Working from home full-time, we have the flexibility to take the doggo’s out whenever it is needed throughout the day. As active individuals, we can provide adequate time to stimulate and play with the dogs, as well as the ability to provide adequate toilet breaks. With a three-levelled, fenced back yard they are free to roam around and have fun - with the curiosity of sniffing everywhere, like we know dogs love! With access to plenty of suitable parks, trails, and walking areas, we can ensure your loved one will get all the attention, exercise and love they crave!
“Jane has been great with milo! He adjusted really quickly to her home and her family, I can see how happy he is with her and how excited he gets to go back in the morning. I’m at peace knowing milo is in great hands and he’s getting the best care in the world 🥰”
“Amazing carer, great atmosphere for our Evie who had a great time! It was her first time in a doggy day care and it all went so smoothly. Will be our dog sitter from now on! Thank you so much Kyriakos!”
“Alla has been amazing with our dog for daycare for the last couple of weeks. We get great of updates of how he is doing along with amazing photos/videos throughout the day. Alla has also been incredibly flexible to work around our schedule, along with picking him up/dropping him off. I would highly recommend for daycare!”
“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.”
About: I have taken care of my sisters and daughters dogs in the past. I have my own dog at the moment. So still reading books and learning about dogs. I am working from home . I am dressmaker. Self- employed. So I have plenty time for long walks and cuddles with my own dog. Mollie is small cockapoo. Very friendly and loving with another dogs and cats. I am living in two bedroom flat with big living room. A lot of space. There is park near and riverside. Also we travel to the beach. Never left alone. Make sure your pet is secure and safe in my house. On the walks I will make sure your pet are kept safely on the leash. After walks will clean the dog.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats ever since I was born, in total I’ve looked after 3 sausage dogs, a foxhound and a cat called Lucy! I take them on walks, bathe them and give them lots of cuddles I’m currently working part time as a Researcher for Northumbria Police and I work from home (except for Thursdays). My usual shift patterns are 11-3 Monday to Friday (Tues -12:30-16:30). So I have a lot of spare time to look after your furry friends! I have a relatively large front and back garden and I’m happy to take them on walks every couple of hours as I love going on walks for fresh air. I also live 10 minutes away from chase park so happy to let them roam there for a couple of hours to get some fresh air! I don’t mind if they have an accident in the house, which animal doesn’t from time to time! My house is big enough for any type of dog to roam and play and we always make sure the house is clean and nothing that could cause injury is out
About: Before coming to the UK, I was basically a mom of 7 dogs. Spending time with them is never tiring . Aren't they little angles ✨ I have flexibility since its summer and I have no school. Pet care just kinda slips into your day—like feeding your furry overlord when you wake up, going on poop patrol during walks, and brushing enough fur to make a second pet. Once a week, it’s spa day When I’m caring for pets—whether in my home or someone else’s—it’s all about creating a safe, cozy vibe they can trust. I pet-proof the space (no sneaky snacks or chewable cords!), stick to their routine so they feel secure, and shower them with affection
“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. Arty was a happy and tired doggy at the end of the day. I would definitely rely on Kateryna for future Arty needs! Five stars!!!!”
About: Hi I’m Molly, and I am a HUGE lover of four legged friends. I’ve been pet sitting for three to four years, working with dogs, cats, puppies and older dogs of all sizes. I took a break for the last year or so to travel and work, but I’m excited to get back to meeting your furry family members! My family life has always revolved around animals and I’ve raised them from puppies to seniors. In 2024 we adopted Raffy from the Dogs Trust and we’re working hard to settle her into her new home. I actively participate in training and enjoy learning about the best ways to interact with animals. I already enjoy walking a lot so taking your pup out multiple times a day is a bonus. I currently work from home 9-5 every week day. I have a relaxed position, all I need is WiFi! This gives me lots of time to spend with animals and can give them my full attention. I also have an hour lunch Mon-Fri, and I am free most evenings and weekends for walks or sitting. Although I am not consigned to my laptop this does need to be taken into account for dogs who may need more attention or supervision. Security and honesty is very important to me and I would hope to share this with any respective animal owners. I uphold these values, especially when caring for others pets; they are family members. Depending on the animal, I would make sure they aren’t alone for long periods and that they have what they need at specific times and keep to their normal routine, including walks, food and water. I like to make sure every pet I look after has enough enrichment, as owners being away can be worrying for them: playtime, walks, hide and seek are all my favourites. I will provide regular updates on your pet including pictures and videos so you know that they are safe and happy.
“Lauren initially arranged a meet and greet and asked all of the right questions. She made friends with Evie quickly and made us both feel really comfortable. Evie was very excited to return for her day care and had a glowing report when I picked her up. Lauren provided 2 updates throughout the day including a picture. Thanks again Lauren for taking such good care of her whilst I had a long work day! We will definitely be booking again 😊”

“Samantha was amazing throughout the whole process! As someone who had never left their dog with someone else nor used the Rover app, Samantha put me right at ease! Rosie clearly loved the walks and time; Samantha was very knowledgeable from her experience in veterinary and kept me updated across the day. Would definitely recommend to anyone and also will definitely be booking again when needed, thanks Samantha!”

I also worked in a doggy day care for 2 years. Current just got my own house with my boyfriend so I will be free a lot of the time to take dogs in to look after while their owners are away. My home is a few minutes walk away from the rising sun country park! A great place for dogs to have fun and get tired out! I work from home through the week and my only day in the office is on a Monday. My work is pretty flexible so will have a lot of time to walk the dogs. I have a fenced back garden for the dogs to go out and play on as-well as a few good walk spots near by. I am willing to take the dogs out for as many walks as required.
“Absolutely fantastic! Liezel and Alex were so lovely with my dog. They came exactly when they said, and walked him for longer than they needed to, and were an absolute pleasure to meet😀. Thank you so much! Would definitely recommend Liezel and Alex for dog walking!”
“A friendly dog walker. With own transport. Security conscientious and showed respect whilst in my property. Followed instructions accordingly with regards to the every day needs of my dog. Sound communication skills and reliable on all calls. First Aid trained. Very reasonably priced. Provided photos and walking routes. I was very nervous and anxious about leaving my dog, with someone I did not know. However Collie quickly gained both mine and my dogs confidence. I Would highly recommend.”
About: I'm a caring, reliable pet lover with experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I've cared for energetic puppies, gentle senior dogs, nervous dogs who need extra patience and reassurance, and cats with their own unique routines. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to get to know their needs, whether that's a relaxed walk, plenty of playtime, or simply providing calm companionship. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away, giving you complete peace of mind. Im currently a university student, so have lots of free time as my course is very independent based! I love seeing my regular pups on a daily basis, it fits perfectly into my routine and keeps me busy. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.

About: I started looking after my pets (dogs, cats etc.) when I was 5. I always loved spending time with them. They charge me with positive. Have an experience in training dogs. Can't imagine my life without pets. My friends always trusted me their pets and were always calm about them. I'm responsible and can cook food for them. At this moment I have a lot of free time so it should be no problem to look after your pet for the whole day. I like bathing, playing and walking pets and feeding them. I also come up with interesting games for them very often so they won't be bored. Our family consists of three people, and there's always someone at home throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone or feel neglected — we make sure they’re always in good company. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening, one of us will be around to give attention, care, and love. We know how important it is for pets to feel safe and not stressed when they're away from home. I take care of everything your pet needs: feeding on time, going for regular walks in the nearby park, and playing both indoors and outdoors. I give them space to explore and be active, while also making sure they stay safe and happy. Daily routines are very important to me, so your pet will have a consistent and comfortable schedule that suits their habits and energy levels.

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 have previous experience as a dog walker and cat sitter. I have grown up with multiple animals in the home and trained my family dog to pass his therapy dog exams last year. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to entertain your pets! I am also on a very flexible schedule so can adapt if your pets have any special requirements or if I am needed to be there for constant care. I have two cats in my own home so I am unable to house pets in my house as I don’t want to cause them or your own pet any undue stress!
About: Hi! I’m a dog lover and proud owner of a sweet cockapoo puppy girl. I have two wonderful kids, ages 5 and 11, and as a family, we adore spending time with dogs. We’re friendly, caring, and love making furry friends feel at home. Your dog will be treated like part of the family with us! (I can provide my DBS check) Currently I’m working part-time and mostly remotely, so I have free time to care about pets and at the same time enjoy their company. I can take dogs for walks or for a night with us. Also cats are welcome and able to explore my home and even climb on curtains (what some of them like so much). I have a private house with a big fenced garden. Pets are allowed on furniture. My family is very friendly and we have a nice park nearby to take dogs for walks. I always tidy up after and keep my home safe and clean.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was very young, around 7, and I’m now 19. Have much experience in walking, feeding, bathing and playing with pets. I’ve just started university in Edinburgh so have a lot of time to spend with your pets and make sure they’re very well cared for. I cannot currently house pets as I am in student accommodation however I have much experience with a 12 year old Lhasa Apso of my own and will ensure to play with and care for your pets just as well when housesitting.
About: I have had and taken care of both cats and dogs since the age of 8 for family, friends and neighbours, walking, feeding, playing with and house sitting with animals. I am very comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes I currently am on summer break and am available every day from morning to night just drop me a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible While I do not let pets board in my own home I am always very cautious to follow any instructions given to me on where pets are and are not allowed, making sure to keep them in their designated areas.

“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!”
“We had such a great experience leaving Vader with them and honestly couldn’t have asked for better care From the start they were friendly, polite, and really easy to communicate with, which made the whole process feel stress-free. While we were away, they kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which we really appreciated, and it was so reassuring to see how happy and settled he was. It was obvious Vader was completely comfortable and having the best time (I genuinely think he would’ve happily stayed longer!!) They really embraced his personality as well, even his obsession with bringing his collection of sticks in the house lol, which made it feel like he was properly understood and cared for, not just “looked after.” When we picked him up he was absolutely exhausted, which says everything; clearly lots of walks, playtime, and attention. We wont hesitate to book with them again and would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely great with dogs”
“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 ☺️”
“Left our 3 year old Labrador with Jake this past weekend and Jake was very good with him. His communication with messages, photos and video was excellent. Our dog is typical in that he needs loads of exercise and Jake took him out as much as he could. We’ve got no complaints with Jake and will use him again and would recommend him to everyone.”
“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 😊”
“This was our first time using a dog sitter, and I was a little nervous, but Brianna was fantastic.

I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again. Thank you!”

“I couldn’t have wished for a better sitter for my dog Barney while we were abroad for 2 weeks. Andrew made sure he had all the info he needed for Barney and sent multiple daily updates which really helped put me at ease for Barneys first long stay away from us.”
“Lauren has looked after our two staffies twice now and we couldn’t happier with the level of care. She’s brilliant at sending regular updates and great at wrangling our big bundles of energy. We can tell how much our girls love staying because this time when we dropped them off they ran to the front door!”
“Delphi always enjoys her stays at Bills. She is exercised and stimulated in a really considered way. Taken to new places and given chances for exploration. We always appreciate Bill’s updates and knowing how settled and content Delphi is. Thank you”

“We really appreciated being able to meet Connie before our 2 year old Terrier stayed with her. It was reassuring for us that she has a good understanding of terriers' quirks and personality ( and clearly enjoys them!) Our boy came home happy and relaxed from a two night stay. We also appreciated the photos she sent during his stay, particularly the ones of him smuggling up for cuddles with her....he looked so chilled out! We will certainly be asking her to take care of him again”
