“Anna took care of Koko for a week, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She kept us up to date throughout, sending daily videos and pictures that really put our minds at ease. It was clear Koko was well looked after and happy in her care. We would highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.”
“Yvonne and David were amazing again! So great with our boys, taking them on adventures and putting up with their 'quirks'. Such a great feeling to be able to go away and not worry at all.”
“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!”
“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 .”
“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 ♥️”
“Once again, we were delighted to be able to leave Jack in Andrew's capable hands. The pair of them had a great time, and we got lots of photos and regular updates. Andrew takes time to understand dogs' quirks & foibles (very important for Jack - he's got a few...!!!), and builds his plan accordingly. He made sure we were comfortable with what he was proposing to do over the weekend, which was very reassuring. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Andrew, and we'll be booking Jack in again soon!”
About: I have cared for dogs since I was 11 years old and currently have a two-and-a-half-year-old Cockapoo in the UK. Alongside caring for my own dog, I have experience looking after both small and large breeds, as well as raising cats and rabbits in my home country. Dogs staying with me will enjoy daily visits to the nearby park, with at least two 30-minute walks or play sessions each day. With the owner’s permission and where it is safe, they can also enjoy off-lead play. I am patient, attentive and always take the time to understand each dog’s individual personality and routine, treating every pet as part of my own family. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved and at home while their family is away. I am a PhD student with a flexible schedule, and my partner is at home full-time, so dogs staying with us will have plenty of company, attention and supervision throughout the day. Our usual routine includes three outdoor trips at around 9 am, 3 pm and 8 pm, with walks, playtime, sniffing and games of fetch in the large park just two minutes from our home. Between walks, dogs are free to relax, play and spend time with us at home. We also do our best to follow each dog’s usual feeding, walking and sleeping routine, so they can settle in quickly and feel comfortable and at home. We live in a spacious two-storey house with plenty of room for dogs to relax, play and move around comfortably. A large park is only a one-minute walk from our home, making regular exercise and outdoor time easy. Dogs are not routinely kept in crates, although we can follow their usual crate routine if requested. All guest dogs are welcome on the sofa, and dogs under 30 kg may sleep on the bed with the owner’s permission. We carefully follow all care instructions and make sure every dog is well supervised throughout their stay. I also keep detailed records of your dog’s daily routine and wellbeing, including their meals, walks, toilet habits, mood, behaviour and any other important changes, so you can easily keep track of how they are doing. Regular photo and video updates are provided throughout the stay, together with detailed status updates, so you’ll always know your dog is safe, happy and having fun. Photos are shared in a way that allows owners to easily view and save them as lovely memories of their dog’s stay.
About: I grew up with Dobermans and at one point we had three in the house. I love dogs and regularly look after my friends pets both sitting and walking. Had experience of dog training, both small and bigs breads, from a border terrier to a German shepherd. Happy to go on adventurous walks, or a walk round the block and open my home up for sitting too. I work full time but have every other Friday off and can work flexibly from home for 2 days a week. I am more available at weekends however can adjust my work from home days to sit around the weekend for longer sitting opportunities. Dog walking can be before work, after work or during a lunch time on a WFH day and weekends any time. I have no pets of my own just yet. I have a garden at my home, 3 bed house with plenty of space and space downstairs for dog beds, crates or whatever is required. I am super respectful and will always follow the dog owners wishes for caring for their dog.
“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”
“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 😊”
“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 ☺️”
About: I am a mummy of two little girls 5 & 7 years old 🥰. We all love fur babies and would like to welcome your friendly dogs and give them so much love and care. Your lovely dog will be well entertained and looked after in our house 🥰 I have many years of experience with dogs as I’ve had dogs myself and looked after many friends and family’s fur babies! You can be rest assured— your dog will be in very capable hands with enough love to come back home to you stocked up!🤪🥰 Just to add— I do have a fish tank so please let me know if your pet will have problems with my ocean babies 😁 Also I have a lovely little garden in which your pet can play
“Very pleasant and friendly couple who obviously love dogs. Ben needs a lot of affection and likes attention, he was well looked after and has come home happy. We have already booked for our summer vacation.”
“Caitlin and Max were brilliant with Ralph. We had an initial meet up where they invited us round to see their house and garden. We could tell straight away Ralph was going to be in a safe pair of hands and really loved Ralph. We’ll definitely use them again 😃”
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.
“Julie was amazing! Biggles had his own holiday, he was walked every day and we had plenty of updates and pictures of him looking very happy. Biggles seemed to settle pretty quickly and was given a lot of love whilst we were away. Thank you so much for all of the care and love you’ve given Biggles this week!”
“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.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. Having grown up with both cats and dogs I'm confident in caring for pets of different ages, sizes and personalities. Friends, family and neighbours have trusted me to look after their pets while they're away, whether that's feeding, walking, playing, or simply keeping them company. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe and happy. I'm patient, reliable and caring, and I'll treat your pets with the same love and attention I'd give my own. As a freelancer working from home, I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate pet care during weekdays as well as evenings and weekends. This means I can provide regular walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime and companionship, while giving your pet plenty of attention and sticking to their usual routine as much as possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure garden for supervised outdoor time, and there's a large open field just a short walk away that's perfect for exercise and play. I'll always follow your pet's routine, including feeding, medication, training and any specific instructions, so they feel safe, happy and at home while in my care.

“Laura was a perfect sitter! Her communication was excellent and she sent the best photos/videos of our little cats. We highly recommend Laura and hope to book again in the future :-)”
About: I have previous hands-on experience caring for my own cat and understand the importance of providing a calm, safe, and loving environment. My experience includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, playing to provide enrichment, and recognising when a cat prefers space or attention. I understand that every cat has its own personality and routine, and I will always follow an owner’s instructions carefully to ensure their pet feels comfortable and well cared for while they’re away.
“Rhian was amazing! Sent really detailed reports each day and clearly my cat was very taken by her (which is saying a lot as she can be quite a nervous cat). Thank you so much and I will be rebooking !!”
About: I've got a cat for which I've cared for 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 provide just as good care for your cat! 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
“Katie has been an absolute star! She has looked after both my boys whilst we were away and kept in touch with reports and pictures. Both boys are very happy and we will definitely use Katie again! Thank you 🙏🏻”
“Janire looked after our elderly cat whilst we were away. I would highly recommend her, she was excellent - very diligent and kind with great communication throughout. she kindly helped us with some house issues that unexpectedly occurred whilst we were away too which we were very grateful for.”
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.
About: I’ve never been able to have cats growing up (sadly my mum is allergic), but over the last few years I have bonded with many neighbour cats and connected with their owners around check ins or simply providing cuddles. We have now got experience looking after/checking in on several cats and have really enjoyed this!
“Stephanie is absolutely lovely! She was great with our little dog. As well, very accommodating and great communication. Fully recommend her and she’s welcome to spend time with our dog anytime”
“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!! 💖”
About: I’ve been a cat owner for 5 years and know firsthand how much they mean to you. My cats have taught me that every cat has its own personality, some want fuss, some want space, and knowing the difference is everything. I’m calm, patient and let cats come to me on their own terms. Over the years I’ve learned to read cat body language really well, I can tell when they’re happy, anxious, or simply not in the mood, and I respect that. I’m also experienced in giving cats medication, so if your cat needs daily medicine while you’re away, that’s no problem at all.
About: I’ve had cats since I was a child and often taken care of them since I was 13 when my parents were away, I continue to do this now. I am also a prominent cat feeder/sitter in my neighbourhood looking after at least 5 different families cats when they are away. I have also been trusted with neighbours and friends dogs to walk them on a regular basis. Additionally, I have been looking after a friends dog and house every summer for the past 3 years for a week. I love doing this and getting to know the pets. I am currently a university student, so my schedule is relatively flexible. I have no university on Wednesdays or the weekends. I work as a swimming coach 3 times a week but these are only for 1 hour on a Tuesday and Wednesday evening and a Sunday afternoon. I am flexible and available for looking after pets and keeping furry friends company I can easily make my way to houses and ensure that dogs are walked and fed regularly. I’m happy to follow instructions and get in touch if I need advice. I love making a happy environment for pets and I’m happy to visit the pets before sitting so that they are more comfortable when I actually come and sit with them so that they know me better.
“Emma did a great job looking after matzo, our cat. Excellent communication - Emma is a considerate, conscientious sitter and I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for good care for their pets! Thank you again.”
“Natalia took care of our cats for a week and visited them twice daily. Our three cats have three different food regimes and she made sure each cat ate their own food in all of the right amounts and timings through the day. She played with them and gave them plenty of attention and was always communicating clearly with us and sharing plenty of photos. When we got home they were very happy and stress free and I’d definitely book with her again.”
“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?”
“Felicia communicated excellently whilst I was away! She is so kind and friendly and has a lovely calming presence. My cats instantly warmed to her. I would definitely recommend Felicia to other cat owners. Thank you :) ”

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
“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! 🐾”
“Huge thank you to Brooke for helping us out at such short notice. I highly recommend Brooke. She was so thoughtful around Tyr's needs as an anxious dog, and looked after him so well. It was lovely to receive lots of photos and updates while he was with her. He definitely had a great time and I will absolutely ask Brooke to take care of him in the future.”

“Elsa loves her afternoons with Aviral, she’s so excited to see them and is well looked after. Reassuring to know we can leave her somewhere safe where she is happy.”
“Our dog has been staying in the day with Louise the last few weeks. He's generally quite nervous but always seems to be happy heading over to her house in the morning. He gets plenty of walks and we love getting the updates of how he's getting on!”
About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up with dogs and developing a passion for their care from an early age. Alongside caring for my own pets, I've gained hands-on animal husbandry experience working at a cat sanctuary and an aquarium, where I even cared for penguins! I also hold a degree in Marine Zoology, giving me a strong understanding of animal behaviour and welfare. Every pet is unique, and I'll always treat yours with the same love, patience, and care as if they were my own. I'm a recent Marine Zoology graduate currently looking for part-time work before starting a permanent role after the summer. This means I have a very flexible schedule and am available every day of the week to provide your pet with the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I'm happy to fit around your pet's routine and ensure they receive the best possible care. I provide a safe, calm home environment where pets are treated like part of the family. I have a small, fully fenced garden, which is mainly used for quick toilet breaks rather than extended play, so most exercise and enrichment comes from regular walks and outdoor time. I live close to Jesmond Dene, so dogs will enjoy frequent, stimulating walks there, along with a cosy indoor space and plenty of attention and care throughout the day. When caring in a pet owner’s home, I follow your pet’s usual routine closely to keep them comfortable, happy, and settled.
“Dylan stays with Alla once or twice a week and really enjoys his time there. Alla is very patient and understanding as he is an elderly dog with some health concerns and even helps with medication. I often have to carry Dylan out when I collect him now as he just loves being there. 😅 would recommend!”
“Hannah looked after my 11-week-old puppy for two days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. As it was my first time leaving such a young puppy with a dog sitter, I was a bit anxious, but Hannah put me completely at ease from the moment we met. She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos. It was clear that my puppy was well cared for and in safe hands the entire time. I’ve already booked with her again for a few weeks time, I would recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
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: I grew up with all kinds of animals, training young ones and tending to injuries or ongoing needs. From terriers and spaniels to farm felines and couch cats, and most inbetween. I don't have my own at home now, and have been boarding or walking for friends to fill the fluff shaped gap. Keen to share my space more often and give a safe spot to play and rest while owners are away, or just for walkies and check ins. I'm fair and fun with dogs, love to make their brain and nose work with hide & seek games. Cats are royalty and so entitled to their own agenda; no pressure from me to make fast friends unless they want to play or come for cuddles. I'm in and around most of the day, taking time work on some passion projects at home. Often find myself in the park or a cafe, boarders very welcome to accompany me! One evening per week I work out of the house for 2-4 hours, which can be worked around. I've worked in support for many years, and see sitting quite the same! If visiting their home, first off cover the basics of food, water, access to outside and play. Keeping the environment safe and clean, noticing signs of distress and adapting to what they need as much as possible. At home, there's comfy places to curl up and space to play. The kitchen is ideal for a quiet area to eat and decompress if they need it, with managed access to the yard. I have a fenced yard with a shrubby boarder for toilet and run around time. Some access to neighbours' lawn.
About: I’ve had cats, hamsters and chickens for 10 years and then a gorgeous cockerpoo that I trained from a pup for the last 10 years. Previously lived on a farm as a child so have always been in the company of animals. I work remotely and have flexibility with my role so I am able to care for pets whilst in the comfort of my own home. I walk at least twice a day and live round the corner from a big park. Plus we’re right by the quayside. We have a ground floor duplex apartment in Ouseburn it’s not part of an apartment building so we have our own front door into the courtyard and a balcony. I live close to a big park and am able to take pets out as and when they need to go outside for walks etc. it’s a very spacious 2 story duplex.
“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.”
“Kateryna was so friendly and welcoming to our dog, who has some separation anxiety! She sent lots of updates throughout her stay, as well as photos and we really appreciated the kindness she showed towards our dog, so thank you again Kateryna!”
“Joanna was brilliant with Milo, extremely flexible with drop off and pick up times! Kept us up to date throughout the day with plenty of photos and videos too! Milo had plenty of playtime with Joanna’s dogs toys and as well as lots of exercise on lovely walks! For the second consecutive day, Milo was so excited to return! Would definitely recommend!”
“Phoebe was amazing. Stella had the best time and it was clear when picking Stella up that they had the best day! Thank you very much for attending to all of Stella’s puppy needs for the whole day!!”

About: I have recently finished my Animal Science degree at Newcastle University and am currently awaiting my final results.

About: Since i was 9 i have always been brought up around dogs and for the past few years i have looked after many of my family members dogs while they have been on holidays. I also worked in a doggy day care for 2 years. Current just got my own house with my boyfriend so I will be free a lot of the time to take dogs in to look after while their owners are away. My home is a few minutes walk away from the rising sun country park! A great place for dogs to have fun and get tired out! I work from home through the week and my only day in the office is on a Monday. My work is pretty flexible so will have a lot of time to walk the dogs. I have a fenced back garden for the dogs to go out and play on as-well as a few good walk spots near by. I am willing to take the dogs out for as many walks as required.
About: I have had my dog Vinnie for over a year since he was a 10 week puppy! I walk him and care for him all by myself so know how to handle dogs. Grew up with family dogs so have enough experience to hopefully manage all things. I am a secondary school teacher on summer holidays I will be walking / visiting your pet around walking my own dog. Happy to work to your schedule and help as needed when I am around in Newcastle. I have a fenced court yard and live very close to the town Moor. I would happily come and walk a dog nearer your home so they feel more comfortable
“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.”

Dogs are not routinely kept in crates, although we can follow their usual crate routine if requested. All guest dogs are welcome on the sofa, and dogs under 30 kg may sleep on the bed with the owner’s permission. We carefully follow all care instructions and make sure every dog is well supervised throughout their stay. I also keep detailed records of your dog’s daily routine and wellbeing, including their meals, walks, toilet habits, mood, behaviour and any other important changes, so you can easily keep track of how they are doing. Regular photo and video updates are provided throughout the stay, together with detailed status updates, so you’ll always know your dog is safe, happy and having fun. Photos are shared in a way that allows owners to easily view and save them as lovely memories of their dog’s stay.
About: I have experience taking care of both cats and dogs. I myself have a cat which I care for by myself so I'm confident that I'm reliable and responsible to be a good pet-sitter. I'm a full time university student but I don't spend that much time outside so pet sitting and dog walking are an amazing time to be more active while I'm doing things I love and helping people out! That said, if I don't have a lecture planned, I'm more than happy to meet your pets! I live in a complex with CCTV security and two locks. There's a small fence around the garden and regular check ins from the agency

My family have had staffies, Labradors and Rottweilers all of my life, I basically learned to crawl with one licking my face!! I am well versed in breed with bucket full of affection and breeds who like to stick to their schedules💜 I work in finance and have the flexibility to work from home, I will be able to do home visits and walks during office hours as well as boarding!

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
About: I started looking after my pets (dogs, cats etc.) when I was 5. I always loved spending time with them. They charge me with positive. Have an experience in training dogs. Can't imagine my life without pets. My friends always trusted me their pets and were always calm about them. I'm responsible and can cook food for them. At this moment I have a lot of free time so it should be no problem to look after your pet for the whole day. I like bathing, playing and walking pets and feeding them. I also come up with interesting games for them very often so they won't be bored. Our family consists of three people, and there's always someone at home throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone or feel neglected — we make sure they’re always in good company. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening, one of us will be around to give attention, care, and love. We know how important it is for pets to feel safe and not stressed when they're away from home. I take care of everything your pet needs: feeding on time, going for regular walks in the nearby park, and playing both indoors and outdoors. I give them space to explore and be active, while also making sure they stay safe and happy. Daily routines are very important to me, so your pet will have a consistent and comfortable schedule that suits their habits and energy levels.
About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter who’s a little pet deprived! I’m from the USA but currently studying for my Masters in Newcastle, and I miss my dog and cat terribly. Alongside having pets of my own, I’ve also completed house sitting jobs where I’ve cared for dogs by feeding them, letting them out and playing with them while also caring after the home. I’m responsible, tidy and happy to follow your pets routine to keep things as normal as possible I’m currently working on writing my dissertation which I luckily can do from anywhere! All I need is wifi so my schedule is super flexible. I have a small studio for pets to roam around but I also live very close to parks and plenty of trails to take walks.

I can provide walking or pet-sitting services during weekdays on a very flexible basis to best suit your schedule I have a safe and spacious flat in central Newcastle where I can care for cats and smaller dogs, but which might not be suitable for larger dogs.

About: Hi, I’m Rhian, a dog enthusiast from Newcastle. I have grown up with dogs and own one of my own. In my spare time I also volunteer at a rescue so I have experience walking different breeds.

About: Hey! I’m Felicia and I’m an experienced pet sitter. I have experience in taking care of dogs, cats, rabbits and reptiles. I own 3 dogs back in Singapore and I’m their main trainer, and I own 2 cats here in the UK. I often petsit for my neighbours, friends and family. Feeding (including raw meat diet), bathing, and walking, you can count on me! I am work fully remote, only needing to be in the office about once every month. When working from home, I am very flexible and can go with your dog’s walking schedule. I have an empty guest room in my flat that many dogs and cats have stayed in when I am pet sitting. I own a dog crate for when dogs do stay over. I also have extra litter trays for cats who stay over. I am precise with my feeding and measure food each mealtime.
About: I’ve had cats, hamsters and chickens for 10 years and then a gorgeous cockerpoo that I trained from a pup for the last 10 years. Previously lived on a farm as a child so have always been in the company of animals. I work remotely and have flexibility with my role so I am able to care for pets whilst in the comfort of my own home. I walk at least twice a day and live round the corner from a big park. Plus we’re right by the quayside. We have a ground floor duplex apartment in Ouseburn it’s not part of an apartment building so we have our own front door into the courtyard and a balcony. I live close to a big park and am able to take pets out as and when they need to go outside for walks etc. it’s a very spacious 2 story duplex.
About: I’ve had cats since I was a child and often taken care of them since I was 13 when my parents were away, I continue to do this now. I am also a prominent cat feeder/sitter in my neighbourhood looking after at least 5 different families cats when they are away. I have also been trusted with neighbours and friends dogs to walk them on a regular basis. Additionally, I have been looking after a friends dog and house every summer for the past 3 years for a week. I love doing this and getting to know the pets. I am currently a university student, so my schedule is relatively flexible. I have no university on Wednesdays or the weekends. I work as a swimming coach 3 times a week but these are only for 1 hour on a Tuesday and Wednesday evening and a Sunday afternoon. I am flexible and available for looking after pets and keeping furry friends company I can easily make my way to houses and ensure that dogs are walked and fed regularly. I’m happy to follow instructions and get in touch if I need advice. I love making a happy environment for pets and I’m happy to visit the pets before sitting so that they are more comfortable when I actually come and sit with them so that they know me better.

“Anna took care of Koko for a week, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She kept us up to date throughout, sending daily videos and pictures that really put our minds at ease. It was clear Koko was well looked after and happy in her care. We would highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.”
“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!”
“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 ♥️”
“Once again, we were delighted to be able to leave Jack in Andrew's capable hands. The pair of them had a great time, and we got lots of photos and regular updates. Andrew takes time to understand dogs' quirks & foibles (very important for Jack - he's got a few...!!!), and builds his plan accordingly. He made sure we were comfortable with what he was proposing to do over the weekend, which was very reassuring. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Andrew, and we'll be booking Jack in again soon!”
About: I have cared for dogs since I was 11 years old and currently have a two-and-a-half-year-old Cockapoo in the UK. Alongside caring for my own dog, I have experience looking after both small and large breeds, as well as raising cats and rabbits in my home country. Dogs staying with me will enjoy daily visits to the nearby park, with at least two 30-minute walks or play sessions each day. With the owner’s permission and where it is safe, they can also enjoy off-lead play. I am patient, attentive and always take the time to understand each dog’s individual personality and routine, treating every pet as part of my own family. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved and at home while their family is away. I am a PhD student with a flexible schedule, and my partner is at home full-time, so dogs staying with us will have plenty of company, attention and supervision throughout the day. Our usual routine includes three outdoor trips at around 9 am, 3 pm and 8 pm, with walks, playtime, sniffing and games of fetch in the large park just two minutes from our home. Between walks, dogs are free to relax, play and spend time with us at home. We also do our best to follow each dog’s usual feeding, walking and sleeping routine, so they can settle in quickly and feel comfortable and at home. We live in a spacious two-storey house with plenty of room for dogs to relax, play and move around comfortably. A large park is only a one-minute walk from our home, making regular exercise and outdoor time easy. Dogs are not routinely kept in crates, although we can follow their usual crate routine if requested.

About: I grew up with Dobermans and at one point we had three in the house. I love dogs and regularly look after my friends pets both sitting and walking. Had experience of dog training, both small and bigs breads, from a border terrier to a German shepherd. Happy to go on adventurous walks, or a walk round the block and open my home up for sitting too. I work full time but have every other Friday off and can work flexibly from home for 2 days a week. I am more available at weekends however can adjust my work from home days to sit around the weekend for longer sitting opportunities. Dog walking can be before work, after work or during a lunch time on a WFH day and weekends any time. I have no pets of my own just yet. I have a garden at my home, 3 bed house with plenty of space and space downstairs for dog beds, crates or whatever is required. I am super respectful and will always follow the dog owners wishes for caring for their dog.
“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”
“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 😊”
“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 ☺️”
“Very pleasant and friendly couple who obviously love dogs. Ben needs a lot of affection and likes attention, he was well looked after and has come home happy. We have already booked for our summer vacation.”
“Caitlin and Max were brilliant with Ralph. We had an initial meet up where they invited us round to see their house and garden. We could tell straight away Ralph was going to be in a safe pair of hands and really loved Ralph. We’ll definitely use them again 😃”
“Julie was amazing! Biggles had his own holiday, he was walked every day and we had plenty of updates and pictures of him looking very happy. Biggles seemed to settle pretty quickly and was given a lot of love whilst we were away. Thank you so much for all of the care and love you’ve given Biggles this week!”
“Brigitte has minded our dog Ringo three times now, and she's been great. Ringo can be a little nervous so he was a bit anxious the first time he went, but Brigitte was so patient and made sure he got on well with her own dog, and he's now always really happy to go! Brigitte's also great with contact and has been very flexible any time our travel plans have changed, so it's been really easy to arrange boarding any time we've needed it so far :)”
“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!”
“Brooke was fantastic at short notice in agreeing to meet the boys beforehand and keeping me informed about how they were doing while I was away for two nights. She really made them feel at home and gave them all the attention. When I went to collect them, they didn’t want to come out of the house, which is a great sign they had a good time. Thank you, Brooke. I really appreciate your support.”
“Amy looked after peanut for the weekend for me and he had the best time! She gave me regular updates and he was very well cared for and treated like their own! Would highly recommend Amy and will definitely book again! Thank you Amy!”
“Alla looked after Wolfie really well, he can be a bit nervous so it was so good to see how confident he seemed in a new space. Alla clearly made him feel very safe and welcome.”
“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 😁”
“Barnie had an amazing stay!! Daily updates and pictures were really appreciated and he was clearly settled and was very well cared for. Will use and again and would definitely recommend 👌”
