“Mary and her family were absolutely great with Kylo. Nothing was a problem. Kept me updated on how he was doing and sent me some great pictures. Really put my mind at rest. They said they would have him back anytime which is a bonus. I will definitely be using Mary's services again. Thank you. Xx”
“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!”
“Kirsty looked after Honey for two nights, Honey settled in straight away and was very comfortable. Kirsty made her feel at home and had lots of toys for Honey to play with. She also made sure Honey had plenty of outdoor time with walks in the woods and the beach and provided us with lots of updates. Would definitely recommend Kirsty, she is an excellent dog boarder and we will be booking again!”
About: I am a full time dog walker and sitting. I own a company providing this service. I have always had dogs in my life and have grown up owning and training spaniels.

We let our dog have full roam and are happy for your dog to as well ! We have a good size garden and plenty toys to keep your pooch happy. (Also a generous supply of treats) Our current walking schedule is 3 walks a day. 1x 20 min morning walking then 2x 45 min walks at lunch and on an evening. I am a full time dog walker and sitter meaning that there will be time for 3 walks throughout the day but this can be adjusted if required. I am happy to allow your dogs to join me on group walks which is very beneficial for their socialisation. I am happy to take on extra responsibilities when caring for your pet such as medications if need be. Feel free to let me know of any extra care your pet requires
“Great sitter. Looked after our dog during this week when there was a heat wave and made sure he was well cared for, kept cool but still taken on walks at the cooler parts of the day. Lots of pictures and updates to show that he was happy and cared for. Would definitely recommend. And would rebook for ourselves.”
About: I have lots of experience caring for dogs and cats, having grown up with and previously owned both\. I am also a current owner of a self\-trained Cocker Spaniel, so I understand the time, patience and consistency that goes into training and caring for a dog\. Our pets have always been well trained, loved and treated as part of the family\. 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. My schedule is flexible: my boyfriend works in football and is home on Thursdays, and I am usually available on weekends, allowing us to offer both weekday and weekend care. When pet sitting, we a will not be working and can fully dedicate our time, attention, walks, and care to your dog. We have a fully fenced garden and dogs will be welcome throughout the home. We live within walking distance of plenty of lovely trails and walks, perfect for keeping dogs active and entertained. Our friendly Cocker Spaniel is great with other dogs and would love having a new furry friend to keep him company!
“Gemma was brilliant, very knowledgeable and friendly. Teddy settled no problem, and Gemma sent me photos and messages. Gemma took Teddy to Jesmond Dene, so home from home, Teddy getting spoilt as usual! Have no quibbles in booking Gemma again”
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.
“What a wonderful time my dog Buzz had with Yvonne and David. He was treated as one of the family with endless cuddles and treats. I received lots of photos and updates throughout his stay, which kept me at ease. Will definitely be booking them again. My Buzz didn't want to come home, he had such a lovely time!”
“If there were 10 stars Julie would get them all! She was so thorough and wanted to know all our dog's needs and requirements, which very much put our minds at ease. After a really generous meet and greet we felt very confident in leaving Thea with her, and we were right. Our dog can be anxious and high needs and Julie worked gently and sensitively with these and gave her such care and love. Would recommend her in a heart beat and will be booking her again. Thank you Julie, from us and Thea.”
“Ozzy had a superb time with Rachel. Superb communication from booking and regular updates and pics during his stay. No hesitation in using again and recommending to others.”
“We were really happy to leave our Irish Terrier with Ros and Charles and will happily do so again. Their knowledge and understanding of dogs shines through and they were very happy to discuss Pogues needs/quirks with us in detail. Pogue came home very happy and relaxed. Playing chase with Ros and relaxing with Charles clearly suited him!”
“Anna and Jorge took great care of Floyd. They sent an update daily and posted little videos which was very reassuring. And Floyd must have been very contented with them as I dont think he wanted to come home when I went to pick him up!”
“Our Clive was sad to leave! He had the best time and I felt really at ease meeting beforehand for our first rover experience. 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 ♥️”
“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 😊”
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.
“Cannot thank Kat and her husband enough for looking after my boy. 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!! ☺️”
“Doris and her family did a fantastic job caring for Reggie this week. We got lots of updates and photos. I think Reggie has been really well looked after and welcomed into their family. No issues at all. Would defo book again!”

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!
“Craig was great - he was really communicative and kept us updated, with daily pictures and clear updates on our cat, helping to keep us reassured. He was friendly and our pet took to him straight away. Would recommend and would definitely use his services again!”
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.

“Wow! Biscuits first Doggy Day Care went perfectly. She had plenty of play, 2 lovely walks and even a couple of naps which confirmed to us that she was at ease. She was full of beans when we picked her up. We highly recommend Gemma as a dog sitter, caring, friendly and professional. We shall certainly be trusting her to look after Biscuit again and again.”

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: 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: Your dog will get 1-on-1 VIP treatment with me – no other dogs, just pure attention and cuddles! 🐾 I’ve looked after dogs since I was 6. I volunteer at The Dog and Cat Shelter and cared for my gorgeous border terrier Toby who lived until he was 17 years old. I work from home with flexible hours so I’m available at any time of the day. I’m free weekends, school holidays and bank holidays/Christmas time. Your dog/dogs will get 1-1 committed care with no other pets in my home or other dogs boarding with me. Although we live in a flat we have green areas right outside to take your dog out for the toilet. We also have beautiful walks nearby and I drive so can also take them to their favourite spot. With working from homeI’m in the flat 24/7 so your dog won’t be left at all and we have very little clutter for your dog won’t be able to chew on or eat anything! When caring for pets, we prioritise their safety by ensuring the environment is secure and pet-proofed. I will always offer to meet you and your dog/dogs in advance to get to know you both. I’ll follow your instructions closely, creating a routine that makes them feel comfortable and at ease. Building trust through regular communication with yourself and ensuring they feel loved and cared for is essential to me.
“I'm absolutely chuffed to have found Sarah on here, was lovely to talk to and great with Tyrian. Was great that we were able to meet too before hand. My dog seemed sad I was taking him home! I'll definitely be using again. Will recommend Sarah to anyone needing a Dog Walker/Daycare. Absolutely fantastic.”
“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!”
“Andrew is an amazing dog sitter kept us updated on how my dog was doing and made sure he was settled in well.It was a god send knowing that my dog was in good hands and being taken care off .Would highly recommend if you have a medium to large dog.If I could give 6 stars I would”
“Milo had a fantastic day with Alex and his dog Kaia, we received plenty of updates, videos and photos throughout the day which kept us at ease knowing he was settling in well! 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! He obviously had a great time as he’s been fast asleep since we got home didn’t want to leave when picking him up. Thanks so much Alex, Milo will be visiting again for sure!”
About: We have experience caring for puppies, different breeds and dogs with varying temperaments. Through raising Nala, our 6 month old Red Fox Labrador, Myself and my partner Julia have developed hands on experience with puppy training, socialisation and establishing routines. We have also cared for nervous dogs and dogs with separation anxiety through family and friends, and are comfortable administering medication when required. Me and Julia both work Monday to Friday, with some flexibility depending on our shifts and occasional work from home days. We’re primarily available for boarding at weekends, with weekday availability on selected weeks. At weekends, we’re both home and able to give dogs plenty of attention, walks, play and company throughout their stay. We have a secure, fully enclosed garden and a dog friendly home where dogs are welcome on the furniture. We have two spare rooms, allowing visiting dogs to have their own comfortable space if needed. Our Labrador, Nala, is friendly and well socialised with other dogs. We always arrange a meet and greet beforehand to make sure every dog is comfortable and a good match. We’re also happy to follow individual routines, provide medication and walk dogs separately where required.
“Jessica and Sam were lovely with my nervous rescue Taco and she warmed to them very quickly. We did a day of daycare to help her get comfortable with Jessica and Sam in their home before the overnight boarding we have booked next month. It went really well - they stuck closely to the management we do when out on a walk to keep her reactivity in check which was great. Jessica provided very responsive communication and was super easy to deal with. I'm feeling confident that Taco will be very well cared for when she boards for a weekend next month.”

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: 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 am a full time dog walker and sitting. I own a company providing this service. I have always had dogs in my life and have grown up owning and training spaniels. I currently own a Cockapoo who is 2 year old and very friendly around other dogs. Nowhere in our home is out of bounds (unless preferred by the owner). We let our dog have full roam and are happy for your dog to as well ! We have a good size garden and plenty toys to keep your pooch happy. (Also a generous supply of treats) Our current walking schedule is 3 walks a day. 1x 20 min morning walking then 2x 45 min walks at lunch and on an evening. I am a full time dog walker and sitter meaning that there will be time for 3 walks throughout the day but this can be adjusted if required. I am happy to allow your dogs to join me on group walks which is very beneficial for their socialisation. I am happy to take on extra responsibilities when caring for your pet such as medications if need be. Feel free to let me know of any extra care your pet requires
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!

“Olivia has been amazing with my dog Leia this past week. Leia is always so excited and jumpy when she sees Olivia, and it’s clear she’s been so well looked after. I received updates after every walk, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for someone to walk or care for their pet. It’s safe to say Leia has made a new best friend this week!”

“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’ve had the joy of owning and caring for a family dog for the past 16 years. After recently losing him, I’d love to spend time around animals again and give that same love and attention to other pets. I’m patient, caring, and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I currently work full-time, Tuesday- Friday 8am-6pm. I am available outside of these hours in the and have full availability on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I can be flexible outside of my working hours and will always make time to give your pet the attention and care they need. I live in a two bedroom terraced house with a secure, enclosed garden, I’m also lucky enough to have a nature reserve just a 2-minute walk from my home, with plenty of space for lovely walks and exploring. 🐾
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 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: Your dog will get 1-on-1 VIP treatment with me – no other dogs, just pure attention and cuddles! 🐾 I’ve looked after dogs since I was 6. I volunteer at The Dog and Cat Shelter and cared for my gorgeous border terrier Toby who lived until he was 17 years old. I work from home with flexible hours so I’m available at any time of the day. I’m free weekends, school holidays and bank holidays/Christmas time. Your dog/dogs will get 1-1 committed care with no other pets in my home or other dogs boarding with me. Although we live in a flat we have green areas right outside to take your dog out for the toilet. We also have beautiful walks nearby and I drive so can also take them to their favourite spot. With working from homeI’m in the flat 24/7 so your dog won’t be left at all and we have very little clutter for your dog won’t be able to chew on or eat anything! When caring for pets, we prioritise their safety by ensuring the environment is secure and pet-proofed. I will always offer to meet you and your dog/dogs in advance to get to know you both. I’ll follow your instructions closely, creating a routine that makes them feel comfortable and at ease. Building trust through regular communication with yourself and ensuring they feel loved and cared for is essential to me.

About: I’ve owned dogs since I was younger, of all different ages and breeds, I’ve had older dogs and pups as young as 8 weeks. I also know how to manage medication with pets as I’ve had to give my dogs syringe fed medication and tablets. My animals are like my babies so I know how much people worry when they’re away or trusting a new person so I will always make sure they are well taken care of I’m a student but I’m only in uni 2 days a week so have plenty of free time! I can work my schedule around you! I don’t do boarding in my own home at the moment as I’m in the process of finding a new house, I have no issue coming to other homes or going on walks

“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!”
“Kirsty looked after Honey for two nights, Honey settled in straight away and was very comfortable. Kirsty made her feel at home and had lots of toys for Honey to play with. She also made sure Honey had plenty of outdoor time with walks in the woods and the beach and provided us with lots of updates. Would definitely recommend Kirsty, she is an excellent dog boarder and we will be booking again!”

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.
“Ozzy had a superb time with Rachel. Superb communication from booking and regular updates and pics during his stay. No hesitation in using again and recommending to others.”
“We were really happy to leave our Irish Terrier with Ros and Charles and will happily do so again. Their knowledge and understanding of dogs shines through and they were very happy to discuss Pogues needs/quirks with us in detail. Pogue came home very happy and relaxed. Playing chase with Ros and relaxing with Charles clearly suited him!”
“Anna and Jorge took great care of Floyd. They sent an update daily and posted little videos which was very reassuring. And Floyd must have been very contented with them as I dont think he wanted to come home when I went to pick him up!”
“Our Clive was sad to leave! He had the best time and I felt really at ease meeting beforehand for our first rover experience. 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 ♥️”
“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 😊”
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.
“Cannot thank Kat and her husband enough for looking after my boy. 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!! ☺️”
“Olly our cocker spaniel has had the best time with Maeve so many thanks for looking after him this weekend! Will definitely be using you again 💕. He has been very well looked after and made to feel like one of the family which is exactly what we wanted for him. Definitely recommend”
“Lauren is so lovely. Loca was relaxed with her from the start which was so reassuring for us. Nothing was a bother and Loca was shattered when she got home, which for her is a sign of lots of fun during her stay! Thank you Lauren, Loca’s next weekend with you is already in the diary 🥰”
“Andrew and family was the perfect place for Ella! She got her favourite combination of playtime, running around the garden, treats and lots of cuddles. Andrew shared regular pictures and updates. He was also super kind to both pick up and drop off Ella, to make it as easy as possible for me. Will definitely book Ella with them again. Lovely family :-)”
“We booked Finn in with Larissa as a last minute emergency booking, as have been extremely satisfied! Our dog bounced into their lives! We were kept mostly updated with photo's and comments about his time! When we picked him up he seemed very content, no signs of stress at all! Finn was even given a toy as a parting gift! Finn has been extremely well looked after and we will come back again!”
