“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!”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Rosie. She had a great time, and I'm sure she was sad to come home. The updates were great, and I will definitely use Kirsty again. Couldn't recommend her more. Thanks again!”
“Yekaterina was the nicest person we have left our boy with. She kept us updated and sent photos everyday. Unfortunately we had to have our daughter collect him early which Yekaterina arranged due to him becoming ill. I would 100% recommend Yekaterina again. She totally spoilt and cared for our boy. Thank you so much 😀”
“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!
“Alfie and buddy had another great stay with Yvonne and David lovely couple and there lovely dog island highly recommend them to take good care of your furry babies thank you so much ❤️”
“Fynn had a fantastic time. We loved receiving the daily photo updates and they really paid attention to all of Fynn’s needs and we felt that he was in very good hands! We would send him back for future holidays! Thanks again!”
“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 😊”
“First time stay over for our boys, we did not need to worry, our boys were well taken care of. Really good communication to let us know they had settled in well, slept all night, and had their toast for breakfast 😀 no worries at all. Thank you 💚 🐾 🐾”
“Another overnight stay to cover a diary clash! We changed our pick up time at the last minute, and Ros & Charles were very obliging. We would certainly book Jack in with them again, without hesitation!”
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.
“Andy was a lucky last minute booking - and I am so pleased that we found him. You can tell he loves dogs, is incredibly experienced and most importantly, he cares deeply. Luna had a lovely weekend with Andy and family, I can’t recommend him enough, and we will certainly be back! Absolute first class pet care.”
“Pete is absolutely brilliant and a natural with dogs. This is the first time we have left our dog overnight and we were nervous on how he would settle. Our worries immediately disappeared as Pete welcomed Eddie warmly and he bonded with him straight away. He has a lovely house and garden and Eddie enjoyed spending time there and also going on walks. Thank you for a great time Pete!”
“We couldn't be more happier we came across Eleni to take care of our fur baby Roly. We had to find care last minute due to being let down by a previous dog boarder. Eleni was able to accommodate care at her house, which was better for us too, for the full 10 days and nothing was an issue. We were kept updated on Roly throughout our holiday, he had plenty of walks, meal times/amount were kept the same as that at home (which helps the routine when we got him back) and he had plenty of cuddles and attention. Eleni is an experienced dog carer and it really showed which helped ease our minds when dropping him off, leaving him and collecting him. Roly was content and happy which was visible in the photos and videos Eleni sent. I will 100% use Eleni again for future care, thank you so much for taking care of Roly, we are grateful for everything. ❤️”
“As soon as Juno, our border terrier, met Jessica at the meet and greet, it was clear that they were going to get on. She then showed no anxiety when I left her for our week away. Jessica then sent me photos and updates and I was completely reassured that she was enjoying her stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jessica as she clearly loves dogs.”
“Anna and her family watched Ella for 3 nights, and Ella felt right at home straight away. We met up in advance ahead of the booking to make sure it was a good match, and Anna’s kind nature and her very well behaved little boy Marco made me feel right at ease. I knew Ella would have the best time there. And from the pictures shared I can tell she did :-) I have already booked in for next time!”
“Our dog Cora was happy staying with Doris. We could tell as she went in very willingly during repeated visits. Doris and her family were very professional from the beginning of the booking process, and I can totally recommend her.”

“Thank you Nicole - absolutely amazing, so lucky to have your services 10/10. We can't thank you enough for your help and how wonderful you are with Rory. Really appreciate your advice too! We are very lucky to have you around for support when needed. Really good communication, easy to talk to and excellent knowledge of dogs, clear and transparent. Thank you”
“This was our first time using Eva to look after our cat as we’ve just moved to the area. Eva was very patient and caring with Amber and really followed her lead, she was very well looked after and we look forward to having Eva look after her again shortly”
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!
“What can I say? Yasmin is truly a 10/10 find on here! Such a lovely person that sent me constant updates and pictures of my two cats whilst I was away. Followed instructions perfectly and never gave me any worries! True peace of mind! I think the cats were even a little upset when I arrived back 😂”
“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: I feel like i was a cat in a previous life. They mean everything to me. I have had cats all of my life and iv worked in a cat rescue centre which i Absolutely LOVED !! Caring for your kitties while your away is my number 1 priority. Not only will i feed & clean. I love to spend some special one on one time with them so when i leave your home, they feel are relaxed and happy.
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.

Would definitely recommend :)”

About: Hi im Nicky! I’m working towards my BCCS Level 4 Canine Behaviour & Training, I already hold a Feline Welfare certificate, and a first aid & CPR certificate! I specialise in large breeds, pullers, and nervous dogs - I’ll help work on manners while they’re with me 🐾 I have my own 6 month old Presa Canario, whom I’m training myself through positive reinforcement. I do positive‑reinforcement training only, plenty of enrichment/nature walks, can give basic medication, and am happy with all ages and temperaments! I’m currently fully available - I’m studying my Training online, so I can work around your schedule, whether it’s last minute or booked weeks in advance 😊 I do drop‑in visits, walks of any length (even nature trails!), and home boarding. I use only positive‑reinforcement methods, can give basic medication, and have experience with large/strong breeds, pullers, and nervous dogs. I keep routines consistent so your pet feels safe and happy.

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: Hi! I’m Eleni — a lifelong dog lover based in Cramlington, offering reliable and caring pet sitting, boarding, and walking services. I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family member, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. ❤️ Whether your pup needs daily walks, overnight stays, or just some extra company while you’re away, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities — from bouncy puppies to senior sweethearts. I’m also happy to travel to nearby areas, and I’m flexible with times to fit your schedule. You can count on me for plenty of playtime, cuddles, and regular updates so you can relax knowing your dog’s in great hands! 🐕✨ Services: 🐾 Dog Walking 🐾 Drop-in Visits 🐾 Overnight Sitting 🐾 Home Boarding Let’s make sure your pup has the best care while you’re away — I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! 🐾💛 ⸻ I currently work part-time (around 16 hours a week), which means I have a really flexible schedule for walks, visits, and overnight stays. I’m usually available on weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to adjust times to suit your routine — just let me know what works best for you! 🐾💛 Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first with me. I have a secure, pet-friendly home and my own friendly dog who loves having company — perfect for pups who enjoy a bit of social time! I have a good sized garden and I’m situated between loads of parks! I always take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and routine so they feel relaxed and at home. Walks are done safely on lead (unless you prefer otherwise and it’s in a secure area, I have gated parks near me!) and I make sure water, rest, and cuddles are never in short supply. You can count on me to treat your dog with the same care, love, and attention I give my own — keeping them happy, safe, and loved every step of the way.
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.
“Couldn't recommend Sophie more! She was brilliant at communicating quickly and easily. Was understanding about my reactive dog and I felt completely confident leaving Eddie with her. Her back garden and home are a lovely calm environment for any dog and she sent pictures and updates through the day. When I picked Eddie up he was clearly happy and relaxed with Sophie. Thanks Sophie!”
“Bailey is repeat visitor with Louise. As she approaches the house she knows where she is going and gets excited (good sign). Louise is a very good communicator with frequent updates and some photos. Would recommend.”
“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.”

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.
“This was the first time that we had ever left Jasper in doggy day care. We could not have been more pleased. Rosalind and Charles were the ideal carers - experienced, calm and reassuring. We feel that Jasper had the best experience and we were kept informed with how well he was settling in, with a photo which put our minds at rest. We would not hesitate to use them again. Thank you!”
“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.”
“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”
“Can't thank Lauren enough, very thorough and clearly loves dogs. Met prior to go through any questions and to meet Fable, she asked all the right questions and made sure I was aware of the plans regarding walks (where, when on lead/long line). Her home is clean, tidy and smelled amazing. She put me at ease about leaving my pup. Updates/photos were sent throughout the day. Will definitely be booking again, and would 100% recommend! 🐾”

We were kept updated and provided with report, recorded map of the walk and photos. Thank you ☺️”

I will treat your pet and home as I would my own. I'm very house proud and proud of the reviews we've had from previous pet owners. I'm very flexible and just want your fur baby to be happy so whatever they need is no problem.

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 had the joy of loving my Labrador Zeus since 2012, right up until 2024 when he sadly passed away from pancreatic cancer. I’m joining Rover as a dog walker/carer because I miss my best friend Zeus and I want to continue giving other dogs the same love I gave to Zeus. For my current circumstances, I have recently adopted a cat in 2025, so I now have experience of caring for both cats and dogs. I currently work full time on a weekly rotating schedule e.g. one week early shifts then next week lates. I work 5 days a week with 3 days off, rotating again e.g. one week working Mon-Fri then off Sat-Mon, then working Tue-Sat then off Sun-Tues. I will respect owners’ instructions in their homes e.g. crating rules or times, not going into/letting their pets in certain rooms of the house.

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’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!”
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.
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.
“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. 🐾

“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!”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Rosie. She had a great time, and I'm sure she was sad to come home. The updates were great, and I will definitely use Kirsty again. Couldn't recommend her more. Thanks again!”
“Yekaterina was the nicest person we have left our boy with. She kept us updated and sent photos everyday. Unfortunately we had to have our daughter collect him early which Yekaterina arranged due to him becoming ill. I would 100% recommend Yekaterina again. She totally spoilt and cared for our boy. Thank you so much 😀”
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!
“Fynn had a fantastic time. We loved receiving the daily photo updates and they really paid attention to all of Fynn’s needs and we felt that he was in very good hands! We would send him back for future holidays! Thanks again!”
“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 😊”
“Another overnight stay to cover a diary clash! We changed our pick up time at the last minute, and Ros & Charles were very obliging. We would certainly book Jack in with them again, without hesitation!”
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.
“Andy was a lucky last minute booking - and I am so pleased that we found him. You can tell he loves dogs, is incredibly experienced and most importantly, he cares deeply. Luna had a lovely weekend with Andy and family, I can’t recommend him enough, and we will certainly be back! Absolute first class pet care.”
“Pete is absolutely brilliant and a natural with dogs. This is the first time we have left our dog overnight and we were nervous on how he would settle. Our worries immediately disappeared as Pete welcomed Eddie warmly and he bonded with him straight away. He has a lovely house and garden and Eddie enjoyed spending time there and also going on walks. Thank you for a great time Pete!”
“We couldn't be more happier we came across Eleni to take care of our fur baby Roly. We had to find care last minute due to being let down by a previous dog boarder. Eleni was able to accommodate care at her house, which was better for us too, for the full 10 days and nothing was an issue. We were kept updated on Roly throughout our holiday, he had plenty of walks, meal times/amount were kept the same as that at home (which helps the routine when we got him back) and he had plenty of cuddles and attention. Eleni is an experienced dog carer and it really showed which helped ease our minds when dropping him off, leaving him and collecting him. Roly was content and happy which was visible in the photos and videos Eleni sent. I will 100% use Eleni again for future care, thank you so much for taking care of Roly, we are grateful for everything. ❤️”
“As soon as Juno, our border terrier, met Jessica at the meet and greet, it was clear that they were going to get on. She then showed no anxiety when I left her for our week away. Jessica then sent me photos and updates and I was completely reassured that she was enjoying her stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jessica as she clearly loves dogs.”
“Anna and her family watched Ella for 3 nights, and Ella felt right at home straight away. We met up in advance ahead of the booking to make sure it was a good match, and Anna’s kind nature and her very well behaved little boy Marco made me feel right at ease. I knew Ella would have the best time there. And from the pictures shared I can tell she did :-) I have already booked in for next time!”
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.
“This was Alfie’s second stay with Andrew. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. Andrew kept us up to date and put my mind at ease as Alfie had been under the weather just before his stay.”
“Maeve and Gary were fantastic with our dog George. Kept in regular contact with pictures and letting us know what he'd been up to. Really happy, they were great.”
“Anna and Jorge were extremely accommodating for our 2 year Labrador Bea. Bea can be a bit nervous around new people but they agreed to a meet and greet, walk, and a trial night beforehand so we could make sure Bea was as comfortable as she could be. This was very much appreciated by her pawrents! They also provided regular updates by photos and video.”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing with Wilf, it is the first time we have left him with him only being 4 months old but he could not of been in better hands. She sent us regular updates and he had an absolute blast. Lauren is just the loveliest person and we have already booked her again for when we go on holiday, I can not recommend her enough ❤️”
