“We had such a great experience leaving Vader with them and honestly couldn’t have asked for better care From the start they were friendly, polite, and really easy to communicate with, which made the whole process feel stress-free. While we were away, they kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which we really appreciated, and it was so reassuring to see how happy and settled he was. It was obvious Vader was completely comfortable and having the best time (I genuinely think he would’ve happily stayed longer!!) They really embraced his personality as well, even his obsession with bringing his collection of sticks in the house lol, which made it feel like he was properly understood and cared for, not just “looked after.” When we picked him up he was absolutely exhausted, which says everything; clearly lots of walks, playtime, and attention. We wont hesitate to book with them again and would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely great with dogs”
“Yvonne and David are so lovely, we felt from the meet & greet that our boys would be well looked after, and they definitely were! They dealt with Kenny's anxiety and Geoff's general grumpiness so well, we weren't ever worried about them. We also got great pics and videos, absolutely going to rebook.”
“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.”
“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!”
“In a nutshell, Jake is absolutely amazing. Very professional, always responds extremely quickly, updates regularly, flexible and just an all round great guy. We would highly recommend Jake and will of course be using him 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
“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”
“Rebecca was fantastic and bruno really enjoyed his stay with her family and making friends with her dog Douglas. Rebecca kept myself and my partner updated during bruno's stay with plenty of pictures and messages to re assure us he was safe and loving his life. Bruno will definitely be returning ☺️”
“Lyudmila has been professional though out Dizzie stay with message also pictures and walks . Lyudmila listened to Dizzie when she’s needed go to the toilet also for her walks . Nothing was a problem to Lyudmila she made me so comfortable for Dizzie to stay at her lovely home . Also it’s home to home for Dizzie . I will be booking again for Dizzie at Lyudmila .”
“Cocoa had another fantastic stay with Erin and Alex. They are both so lovely and accommodating, and kept us updated with photos and updates. Cocoa had the best mini holiday. Thanks again guys :)”
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.
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life growing up with, looking after and training two Labradors who have both been anxious with other dogs. I am a friendly individual who will make sure that dogs feel safe and comfortable while on walks and in my home. I am highly capable of looking after both young and old, small and big dogs and will cater to each and every need:) I have just finished my final year of university and am staying in Newcastle for two more months so have plenty of free days. I love going on walks and getting out of the house and would love to be a new (second) best friend for your pet! I live in a maisonette where we have looked after dogs on three separate occasions with sufficient space in the living room and easy access to a nearby park. I will ensure that there are no harmful and chewable objects around. There are no other dogs in this house so my full attention will be given to your pet:)
“Julie was amazing with Joey. She made him feel right at home, was so loving and caring, and kept me updated with lots of photos throughout his stay. She really took the time to understand his needs and adapted to him effortlessly. It was clear how much she cared for him, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Joey with Julie again. Highly recommend!”
“Great updates throughout the day. Some lovely pics. Our pup loved being there he had some great walks. Followed all the directions left, and he came back home happy as Larry! Will definitely book again”
“Grace was wonderful with our new puppy and was very welcoming to our situation. Since he is only 11 weeks old and hasn’t had his second vaccination yet, we needed someone who could care for him on his own, without other dogs around. Grace gave us frequent updates and photos, which was very reassuring. Oscar seemed to love his stay so much that he almost didn’t want to leave! We would definitely recommend her.”
“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 always enjoyed spending time with dogs and have experience caring for both my parents' dog, Wilf and my boss's dog, Marty. I've looked after Marty for multiple days at a time, providing feeding, walks, playtime and comfort while his owners were away. I understand how important it is for owners to know their dog is happy, safe, and well cared for, so I make sure to follow their usual routine and provide regular updates. Every dog has their own personality and needs, and I enjoy getting to know them and helping them feel comfortable and settled. Living just a couple of minutes from Jesmond Dene and close to Heaton Park means I can offer dogs plenty of exercise and opportunities to explore some of Newcastle's best walking routes. I work from home two days a week, which gives me flexibility to provide dog walking, drop-in visits throughout the day and at weekends. Whether your dog needs a lunchtime walk, company during the day, or overnight care, I can work around their usual routine to ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise and affection. I aim to keep schedules as consistent as possible to help dogs feel relaxed and secure. Your dog's safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. Before any booking, I like to learn about their routine, personality, exercise needs and any special requirements so I can provide care that's tailored to them. My home has a secure fenced garden for supervised outdoor time and I'm located just two minutes from Jesmond Dene, with Heaton Park also nearby, providing access to fantastic walking routes and green spaces. When caring for dogs, I follow instructions closely, maintain your pet's usual routines, and ensure they always have access to fresh water, exercise and a comfortable environment. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“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.”
“Anna was brilliant with Ruby when she boarded with her for a few nights; we had total confidence that she was well looked after and could see that Anna was going above and beyond to make sure Ruby was comfortable and happy. All her medication was sorted, regular walks done – even in the snow! And daily updates with photos were really appreciated. We would not hesitate to book with Anna again, and would wholeheartedly recommend her 😊”
“We were extremely nervous about leaving our young dog for the first time. We were put at ease from our first meeting and the regular updates including pictures and videos kept us reassured throughout our family holiday. Thank you 🐾”

About: I am a trustworthy and reliable student who adores animals and would love to help someone out. I have plenty of experience looking after a range of animals for my neighbours. I am currently in university and have a part time job but I am not in all day everyday and can be flexible to your needs. I will always share my availability of that week with you for full clarity! Learn their personality so I don’t push boundaries they aren’t comfortable with, I aim to do this initially through communication with owners about needs, expectations etc.
“Was so perfect sitting our cats, wer’re always nervous especially with fitz as he can be demanding but he was so peppy when we returned! Also was really patient when it happened to be a delivery of new cat food to the house! Thank you so much!! 💖”
“Colie was great with our cat Bennie and she kept us up to date with photos and information. Bennie warmed to her straight away and we loved seeing the pictures of how happy he looked! We will definitely be asking Colie to cat sit for us again! Highly recommended?”
About: I have grown up with cats my whole life and currently have experience caring for two family cats, which has helped me become confident understanding different cat personalities, behaviours, and routines. I am comfortable with feeding, cleaning litter trays, administering basic care, and giving cats the patience and space they need to feel comfortable. Alongside this, I work at Hurworth Burn Luxury Pet Hotel, where cats also board at the kennels. Through this role, I have experience monitoring animal wellbeing, maintaining clean and safe environments, and ensuring pets receive the attention and care they need while their owners are away.

About: I would be a great cat sitter because I have two cats of my own, so I understand their needs, routines, and personalities. I’m experienced with feeding, litter cleaning, playtime, and making sure cats feel comfortable and safe in their environment. I know how important patience and trust are with cats, and I always take the time to let them settle and come to me in their own way. I treat every cat with care and attention, just like I do with my own, ensuring they are happy and well looked after while their owner is away.
“Nat provided an excellent service when looking after my 2 cats. I received updates and pictures every visit and she let me know if there were any issues. I’ve come home to 2 well looked after, happy boys🙂”
“Emma has done drop-ins to check on my cat, Vader, several times now - Vader always looks forward to Emma's visits and is left happy, fed, watered and with a clean litter tray. She always sends picture updates so I know that she's doing okay, which is reassuring and appreciated. Vader can't wait for her next Emma visit!”
About: Hi! I’m a cat lover with over 5 years of hands on experience caring for cats. I’ve fostered several cats in the past and often look after my friends’ cats when they are away. I truly enjoy spending time with all kinds of kitties and thankfully they seem to love me too! I currently live with my own lovely black cat who I adopted five years ago. She is my little baby and we spend time all together which builds a strong bond between us. Because of that, I completely understand how hard it can be to leave your furry baby behind when you are away. That is why I always make sure every cat I care for feels safe, loved and relaxed. Whether your cats need cuddles, quiet companionship or just someone to keep their routine going smoothly. I’m here to help!
About: I was a dog owner of a Hungarian vizsla for 15 years (since I was age 7), and my dog had seven puppies which I helped to care for along with my family. So I do have lots of experience with dogs, whether it be dog walking, feeding dogs or clearing up dog litter. I'm looking for some dog therapy so I’ve made Rover my full time job! I love playing with dogs and I am always up for a cuddle with them. I will treat your dog as I would my own, with lots of love and affection. I am confident with all aspects of taking care of dogs because I just love them that much. I have a big house with space for your pet to run around, with a small fenced yard and Heaton park nearby to go on long walks. I am flexible with whatever times people need me to dog sit. Rover is my only job so I have lots of free time to take care of your pets, any ages or breeds of dogs welcome! I have a small fenced yard and there is also a park nearby I can take the dog on walks whatever the weather may be!
About: The kitty in the picture is my own and I've cared for her since she was a baby and it has been a whole 3 years now! The responsibility for her has been entirely my own and I'm confident I can take care of your kitty as if they are my own! I also have experience taking care of other cats, not just mine. For reference, I was pet sitting a neighbour's three younger cats for two months while he was gone and he was very satisfied with my service

I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise, cleanliness, and behaviour monitoring to ensure pets remain happy and healthy while their owners are away. I also understand the importance of trust, communication, and regular updates for owners after each visit or walk.
About: I am a reliable and caring sitter with experience looking after dogs in a safe, calm, and attentive environment. I have helped with feeding, walking, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away, making sure each dog gets the attention and exercise they need. I am confident handling different temperaments and always focus on building trust with both pets and owners. I take pride in being punctual, responsible, and treating every dog as if they were my own. I am currently a student at Newcastle university, so am able to work around my lectures, most evening and weekends. When at home I feed my cats everyday and clean there litter boxes I provide a safe, calm, and caring environment whether pets are in my home or I am caring for them in the owner’s home. In my home, I make sure pets have a comfortable space, stick to their usual feeding and walking routines, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision. I keep the environment clean and pet-friendly at all times. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication if needed, and maintaining the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I also keep owners updated with messages or photos for peace of mind. My priority is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Jacob was brilliant with my dog, felt like I could trust him to look after him straight away. He is experienced with dogs having grown up with them. He was polite and punctual will certainly make this a regular booking when he's available.”
“Phoebe has walked our dog Scampi a number of times now. She has been reliable and trustworthy, and has managed Scampi's reactivity. Phoebe has also helped us out at short notice a few times which has been great. Would certainly recommend.”
About: I have taken care of different kind of dogs since I was little. In the last few years I have look after of my friends and neighbours dogs. Currently I’m looking after my aunts dogs (husky and Labrador) regularly, when they’re away. I am not working at the moment, I might start working part time soon, so I’ll still have plenty of time to look after the dogs and meet their need. Any dogs was staying or visiting my house absolutely loves it because there aren’t any rules, they're always allowed on the furniture. I also have a small garden which they can also enjoy.

“We had such a great experience leaving Vader with them and honestly couldn’t have asked for better care From the start they were friendly, polite, and really easy to communicate with, which made the whole process feel stress-free. While we were away, they kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which we really appreciated, and it was so reassuring to see how happy and settled he was. It was obvious Vader was completely comfortable and having the best time (I genuinely think he would’ve happily stayed longer!!) They really embraced his personality as well, even his obsession with bringing his collection of sticks in the house lol, which made it feel like he was properly understood and cared for, not just “looked after.” When we picked him up he was absolutely exhausted, which says everything; clearly lots of walks, playtime, and attention. We wont hesitate to book with them again and would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely great with dogs”
“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.”
“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!”
“In a nutshell, Jake is absolutely amazing. Very professional, always responds extremely quickly, updates regularly, flexible and just an all round great guy. We would highly recommend Jake and will of course be using him again.”
“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”
“Rebecca was fantastic and bruno really enjoyed his stay with her family and making friends with her dog Douglas. Rebecca kept myself and my partner updated during bruno's stay with plenty of pictures and messages to re assure us he was safe and loving his life. Bruno will definitely be returning ☺️”
“Cocoa had another fantastic stay with Erin and Alex. They are both so lovely and accommodating, and kept us updated with photos and updates. Cocoa had the best mini holiday. Thanks again guys :)”
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life growing up with, looking after and training two Labradors who have both been anxious with other dogs. I am a friendly individual who will make sure that dogs feel safe and comfortable while on walks and in my home. I am highly capable of looking after both young and old, small and big dogs and will cater to each and every need:) I have just finished my final year of university and am staying in Newcastle for two more months so have plenty of free days. I love going on walks and getting out of the house and would love to be a new (second) best friend for your pet! I live in a maisonette where we have looked after dogs on three separate occasions with sufficient space in the living room and easy access to a nearby park. I will ensure that there are no harmful and chewable objects around. There are no other dogs in this house so my full attention will be given to your pet:)
“Julie was amazing with Joey. She made him feel right at home, was so loving and caring, and kept me updated with lots of photos throughout his stay. She really took the time to understand his needs and adapted to him effortlessly. It was clear how much she cared for him, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Joey with Julie again. Highly recommend!”
“Great updates throughout the day. Some lovely pics. Our pup loved being there he had some great walks. Followed all the directions left, and he came back home happy as Larry! Will definitely book 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.”
“Anna was brilliant with Ruby when she boarded with her for a few nights; we had total confidence that she was well looked after and could see that Anna was going above and beyond to make sure Ruby was comfortable and happy. All her medication was sorted, regular walks done – even in the snow! And daily updates with photos were really appreciated. We would not hesitate to book with Anna again, and would wholeheartedly recommend her 😊”
“We were extremely nervous about leaving our young dog for the first time. We were put at ease from our first meeting and the regular updates including pictures and videos kept us reassured throughout our family holiday. Thank you 🐾”
“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 😁”
“Wilson had a great time. Zosia kept me up to date with photos and Wilson had lots of outside space to run around and he was taken out whatever the weather, which is great! I would certainly book again!”
“Gabrielle looked after our puppy, Chester, and we were very happy with the whole experience. Good communication throughout including photos and updates while we were away, and a very happy pup when we picked him up.”
“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!”
“Couldn’t speak highly enough of Holly, regular updates and pictures of Hank with it being very clear that he was having an amazing time and being unbelievably well looked after.”
“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!”
