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

I was especially grateful for the brilliant updates and time Erin and Alex took to meet, greet and later make sure Tec settled and was comfortable. Would recommend”
“Brianna looked after our dog, Penny, brilliantly and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She kept us updated every day with messages and lovely photos, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. Penny was clearly very happy and well cared for. We would highly recommend Brianna to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to look after their pet.”
“This was Ollie’s second (and longest) stay with Csilla. Ollie is an anxious rescue dog and was immediately comfortable with Csilla. I was so grateful for the photos and updates, and how much Csilla fell in love with him. On pick up the feeling was obviously mutual and he would have been quite happy to stay! I highly recommend Csilla as a boarder and will definitely be booking again.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for Luna’s overnight stay. Luna stayed overnight while we travelled to Birmingham, and we felt completely reassured from the start. We received plenty of updates and photos, and it was lovely to see how relaxed and comfortable she was throughout her stay. Communication was excellent, Jesica and Sam were warm, friendly and clearly cared about Luna’s wellbeing. Pick-up was smooth, so everything was handled professionally. Thank you for taking such great care of Luna. We would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We would happily book again!”

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
“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.”
“Fantastic dogsitter! Kim is warm and looked after my older dog so well. She sends regular pics and updates and he is very relaxed in her lovely home. I recommend Kim highly as she is also an approved dogsitter with the local council.”
“Laura and her husband were incredible sitters, and really went above and beyond for us when we needed last minute boarding due to other plans falling through. They very communicative and sent daily updates and pictures and seemed to genuinely care for Monty, it was heartwarming to see. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone for sitting and boarding services.”

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

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.

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!

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: 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 and her partner were great with Stevie. She arranged a last minute meet and greet to reassure us and was very flexible with drop off/pick up times. Stevie had a great day, made herself at home and enjoyed her walks and cuddles. Lauren gave us updates throughout the day. We would use definitely use Lauren again and recommend to others ⭐️”

“Liz really helped me out. I was in a difficult position as my usual dog walker took a week off with hardly no notice so I was desperate to find a dog walker. With only one day notice Liz agreed to walk my Hugo for 2 days. She sent regular updates about the walks and seems like a lovely person who genuinely loves dogs.

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!”

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.

“Brianna looked after our dog, Penny, brilliantly and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She kept us updated every day with messages and lovely photos, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. Penny was clearly very happy and well cared for. We would highly recommend Brianna to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to look after their pet.”
“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!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for Luna’s overnight stay. Luna stayed overnight while we travelled to Birmingham, and we felt completely reassured from the start. We received plenty of updates and photos, and it was lovely to see how relaxed and comfortable she was throughout her stay. Communication was excellent, Jesica and Sam were warm, friendly and clearly cared about Luna’s wellbeing. Pick-up was smooth, so everything was handled professionally. Thank you for taking such great care of Luna. We would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We would happily book again!”
“Delphi loves her stays with Bill and his household. Always updates us and takes such good care of her. She's treated very much like one of the family. Thank you once again Bill. We'll be booking again.”
“Laura and her husband were incredible sitters, and really went above and beyond for us when we needed last minute boarding due to other plans falling through. They very communicative and sent daily updates and pictures and seemed to genuinely care for Monty, it was heartwarming to see. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone for sitting and boarding services.”
“Teddy enjoyed his vacation with Michaela and Dave. Lovely country walks, lots of love and cuddles in the house, secure garden for Teddy yo play in, regular photos updates. I will definitely be recommending Michaela to other owners who are looking for a home away from home for their pooches.”
“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”
About: I have over 20 years of experience owning dogs and have been offering dedicated dog walking services for the last two years. I pride myself on providing varied, engaging walks tailored to each dog's personality, including swimming opportunities for the water lovers! When your pets are with me, they are treated exactly like my own. You can rest assured they will receive an abundance of attention, exercise, and cuddles. I'm available for boarding or walking any day of the week. I have a Labrador myself however if you'd prefer your dog to be sole dog, then I can often arrange for my dog to go to family. I have a back yard and also a garden available for dogs to go out. I'm also very close to a number of scenic walks for your dog to experience different sniffs.
“Truffles had such a great time at Avi's place! We were immediately reassured at the meet and greet, and Avi and his wife shared regular photos and updates. She settled in so well and we had no worries while we were away. Thank you :)”
“Robert has been fantastic looking after Skye. She was so happy and settled the whole time, which really shows how comfortable she felt with him. Robert sent us daily updates, which really put our minds at ease knowing she was safe, well cared for and having fun. It’s such a relief finding someone you can completely trust with your dog. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommended!”
“Lauren was very accommodating especially with my loose timeframes which was very helpful and very much appreciated! Ralphy had a good stay and got to interact with another dog which definitely helped his own anxiety of being left! Lauren helped my own anxiety by sending updates over text and was super nice throughout! Would hugely recommend to everyone 😁”
“Maggie took such wonderful care of our Rupert! She and her young family cared for him and made him feel safe and spoiled, he came home happy and chilled. So pleased 🙂”
