“Thankyou , I was really worried about leaving Tobi as he’d never been left before, but I was able to feel at ease Anna sent me photographs of Tobi over the weekend and he looked really at home and happy 😊 I would definitely recommend, lovely couple and very good with animals , Tobi had a nice little holiday 😄”
“Once again Kirsty took great care and attention of Jock & Eileen, they always love the one on one attention that they get and being thoroughly spoilt and nurtured. Kirsty is calming, confident and very experienced, especially with larger dogs. We have complete trust in her ability to board them without issue and her awareness of dogs behaviour. She is great at providing pics and updates. We would 100% recommend Kirsty.”
“Judith was amazing. At very short notice looked after Amber. Gave regular updates. Amber seemed to think it was her home from home. I think she had a great time. We will definitely be using Judith again.”
About: I would love to look after your dog in my home. As I live in Northumberland there are many beaches and walks in the area, plus I have a large garden which your pooch would love to run around. I've always had pets, dogs and cats. Since losing my dog a couple of years ago, I have missed having a furbaby. I have worked for various animal rescue organisations, in China, Singapore and also here in the UK, and have lots of experience in caring for and owning a dog. I'm retired and I will have plenty of time to walk, play and take care of your dog. Your furbaby will become part of our family while its with us and will join us on beach walks and outings. My home has a doubled fenced large garden so lots of space to run around. Your furbaby will have a space on the sofa and be located for as if it was my own pet.
“Would highly recommend Ros and Charles. Not only are they both lovely, kind people but they looked after our two Cavachon puppies so well. Our dogs settled well into their holiday home for 2 days while my husband and I got married in the Windemere. We knew they would be well looked after and the certainly were. Beautiful countryside with lots of areas to walk. Ros and Charles also have a lovely garden which is secure so our dogs could run around or just chill in the sun. Thank you for being so attentive and caring. We will definitely be returning to you on our 1st wedding anniversary (if not sooner)!”
“Dude stayed with Erin for three nights and had a sweet little getaway! She was really kind and sent us tons of photo updates, which made us feel super at ease while we were gone. We always knew what he was up to and that he was in good hands. He also made a new best friend (and possibly a girlfriend) with her dog, which was so cute — they became fast friends and it totally melted our hearts. Overall a great experience, and we’d definitely feel good about leaving Dude with Erin again!”
“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!”
“Rachel took great care of Stevie and also helped me out last minute which I was really grateful for. She is fab with dogs and Stevie is really happy and relaxed with her. Thanks Rachel!”
“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.”
“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”
“Dolly had a lovely time with Yuen Shan W. Met up before hand to introduce each other. Lots of updates throughout with photographs. Felt very confident Dolly was well cared for. Will definitely use again.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for Luna’s overnight stay. Luna stayed overnight while we travelled to Birmingham, and we felt completely reassured from the start. We received plenty of updates and photos, and it was lovely to see how relaxed and comfortable she was throughout her stay. Communication was excellent, Jesica and Sam were warm, friendly and clearly cared about Luna’s wellbeing. Pick-up was smooth, so everything was handled professionally. Thank you for taking such great care of Luna. We would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We would happily book again!”
“Zoe was absolutely fantastic!! Could not recommend her enough. She took Floyd so many different places for lovely walks, sent us lots of photos and videos daily and even bought him a new ball for his walkies as he chewed his to pieces. Floyd had the best time, will definitely be booking with Zoe again. Thank you so much!”
“Doris and her family looked after Millie really well with at least two walks a day, and playing ball with Millie in their garden. Doris gave us daily updates including photos which gave us a good picture of Millie’s day and the reassurance that she was being well cared for. I wound certainly recommend her very highly.”
“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: Been around dogs most of my life:) Cared for a range including Golden retrievers, Cavapoos, Huskies, Malamutes, Border Collies, Daschunds, Pugs & Frenchies. Now that I live in England, I really miss having doggy company and would 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.
“This was my first time booking with Julie, and she did an amazing job looking after my dog Kody. He’s a bit of a character and can be stubborn, but Julie was understanding and clearly experienced with dogs. Julie kept me updated while I was away, and I could tell Kody was comfortable and happy with her. I came home to a relaxed, well-looked-after, very content pup! Thanks Julie! :)”

“Our second time having Anne-Marie watch our cat - she was absolutely brilliant, sending js regularly pictures and updates on what they were getting up to. She put up with all of his yelling and chaos, and thoroughly tired him out with playing too. Really appreciate all of your help!”
“Jade was amazing as always. She kept me up to date with how bubbles was doing and goes above and beyond for you. He absolutely adores Jade and wouldn't hesitate recommending her.”
About: Animals are my absolute passion. I’ve spent my life surrounded by pets, and I spent 6 months working in a veterinary clinic as a trainee veterinary nurse. While I chose not to complete the full qualification, the intensive, hands-on experience I gained was invaluable. I am incredibly comfortable handling animals of all temperaments, recognising subtle signs of illness or discomfort, administering medication if required, and maintaining a safe environment. If your pet needs an extra attentive eye or a calm, confident handler, they are in safe hands with me. Personal Pet Care Experience: Cats: I have two cats at home who are my whole world; I understand cat care, play, and respecting boundaries for more aloof cats! My 2 babies are 10 years old, I raised them from kittens and I've thoroughly enjoyed being a part of every stage of their life. They love to play and watch the birds through the window. I'm very familiar with household hazards to cats such as toxic plants and foods, as well as ensuring a home is cat-proof both for their own safety and to safely contain them indoors if they are housecats. I have a keen interest in cat body language and behaviour, and always ensure I monitor how your cat is feeling to keep them happy and content!
“Beth was great. Lovely to meet with her before the cat sit, nice to get to know the person you are trusting with your adored cats. Reassuring to have daily videos and see how much the cats were enjoying the company. Both kitties were happy and relaxed when we came home - so nice to not have to worry while enjoying our holiday. Thanks Beth x”
“This is our third time using Beth and we honestly wouldn’t use anyone else. She is amazing with our cats and truly treats them like her own. The regular updates and photos give us so much peace of mind, and she always makes sure they get plenty of cuddles. Beth genuinely goes the extra mile every single time. We feel so lucky to have found her xx”
About: I absolutely love dogs and have grown up with them in my family for many years. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life, from daily walks and feeding to playtime and lots of affection. I now have my own dog, Otis, who is 1 year old, so I understand how important it is for owners to feel their pet is safe, happy and well cared for. I’m comfortable with different breeds, energetic dogs that love long walks, and giving plenty of attention and cuddles. I will always treat every dog as if they were my own. My partner works away regularly meaning it is just me and Otis most days! We need extra cuddles and fun especially on weekends. I work a hybrid job mid-week, which means I’m home a lot and able to give dogs plenty of attention, company and regular walks throughout the day. Weekends are also perfect as I have lots of free time to dedicate to pet care. I love getting outdoors with my dog Otis and exploring all the beautiful walks around Northumberland. Your dog will enjoy plenty of exercise, fresh air and adventures while staying with me. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I have my own friendly 1-year-old dog, Otis, who loves the company of other dogs and is used to regular walks and playtime. I always follow each dog’s usual routine for feeding, exercise and rest to help them feel settled and relaxed. I provide a calm, loving environment and will send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your dog is happy and well cared for.

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: I’ve owned animals my whole life up until recently, after my senior pup sadly passed away! Good with puppies who need entertaining and tiring out, as well elderly pets who need a calming and more subdued presence. Looked after many of my friends pets such as cats and dogs - even my sisters tortoise! Confident with smaller animals too like hamsters and guinea pigs. Have a good inkling for training basics with puppies such as sit, wait etc. I work in the film industry and work away when I have a contract, things are very quiet at the moment so I have complete free availability to look after your pets and available at short notice for your needs! Depending on what your fur baby needs, I’ll be there! Playtime with a new young pup, someone to sit with your elderly dog and keep them company… long or short walks or someone to help with a little bit of basic training if you’re out the house all day. I’m a very easy going individual who is confident with dogs and provide the specific care they need
“My cat Victor enjoyed his visits from Celine and he is shy around new people! Celine made him at ease instantly and sent me pictures and updates and I could phone her too. We both agree Celine is the best, would highly recommend will book Celine on our next trip away.”
About: I have had both cats and dogs all my life. I am used to grooming and playtime. I have experience with both timid and playful cats. I’m confident providing medication and special dietary requirements. I have recently been providing international pet care for regular clients. I look forward to snuggles with your fur babies.
“It was our first time having Elizabeth and she was brilliant. She kept us informed with photo updates too which was a bonus :). She was kind and trustworthy and will definitely book again. Thank you x”
About: Experienced, reliable dog sitter offering loving, family-friendly care — with a calm, kid-safe environment and years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my days around walks, playtime, and feeding schedules to make sure every dog gets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I’m consistent and reliable with every pet I look after. Whether pets are staying with me or I’m visiting them in their own home, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. At my home, dogs enjoy a calm, family setting with lots of space, walks, and company from my friendly, well-behaved dog. In a pet owner’s home, I respect their routines — feeding times, walk schedules, and any special instructions — so their pets feel happy and settled while their owners are away.

“Kelly was fantastic. I was on holiday so just needed a day without Teddy whilst I visited a couple of tourist attractions. Excellent communication and gave me some great ideas. Most of all Teddy was well cared for. He clearly had fun as he is sleeping. Thanks Kelly”

“Wow! Biscuits first Doggy Day Care went perfectly. She had plenty of play, 2 lovely walks and even a couple of naps which confirmed to us that she was at ease. She was full of beans when we picked her up. We highly recommend Gemma as a dog sitter, caring, friendly and professional. We shall certainly be trusting her to look after Biscuit again and again.”
About: I've been around dogs my whole life, since I was just about able to walk actually. My family, both immediate and extended, has always kept dogs and I've always made it my mission to have a good rapport with them. I'm passionate about their care and making sure they're well looked after. I have a fully enclosed garden and live 5 minutes away from Cramlington nature reserve and some wide open fields below the hospital. We're big fans of enrichment games and general playing if your dog likes it. I do understand however, that every dog is unique and some may just want to chill out on their own. Please let me know as much information as you can give about your pet and their unique personality, likes, dislikes etc. I have experience with anxious dogs and trigger issues, as my own Springer, Bailey, is an anxious lad and has various triggers when outside in the world, so I've learned a lot firsthand with him. He is a great house dog, just the world is very overwhelming for him at times. I'm currently between jobs, so I am totally free to take care of and devote all my attention to your best friend as long as they are in my care. I have a totally enclosed garden and live very close to Cramlington Nature Reserve and a multitude of other walking paths. They will be entirely free to roam the house as they please, sit on the sofas or lounge in the garden (weather permitting, of course). They will be treated as my own when in my care. Plenty of enrichment games, be it a snuffle mat, folded up kitchen roll tubes to shred etc.
About: I've adored animals for as long as I can remember, especially dogs. Growing up around them, they’ve always been a huge part of my life and honestly never felt like “just pets” to me, they’re family. After losing my beloved Labrador last year, I started caring for other people’s dogs to help fill that quiet space, and I quickly realised how much joy it brought me. What began as helping friends and family turned into something I genuinely love, so much so that I decided to leave my fulltime job and pursue dog care full time. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone else, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, cuddles on the sofa, playtime, or just calm company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved and happy while they’re with me. I’m reliable, patient and attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend and make a new friend for myself 💕 I recently left my fulltime job so I can be available all day/night to look after/walk/play with your dog. They will have all my time I have a large fenced garden and yard so any fury friend will be safe and have lots of room to explore. In the village I live there are alot of great walks that is popular for dog walking so your dog would have plenty adventures if required.
“Celine was absolutely great. She was really flexible with timings, really easy to book and was great with Hugo. She took him on two walks during the day so he was really happy and seemed to have great fun with Celine’s own dog so it was great he had some additional company during the day too. We would definitely recommend and will certainly use Celine again when we’re back here on holiday!”
About: I provide dependable, personalized care tailored to each dog’s unique temperament, with experience handling reactive, nervous, and overly friendly dogs using calm, reward-based, force-free, encouragement-based, praise-and-reward techniques. Skilled in puppy training, leash manners, socialization, senior care, medication administration, and mobility support, I ensure safety, structure, and consistent updates for total peace of mind. I believe every dog deserves more than just a walk — they deserve care, attention, and joy along the way. With a background in professional care, I bring reliability, patience, and a calm approach to every pet I look after. I tailor each walk to your dog’s needs, whether it’s a gentle stroll, an energetic adventure, or extra reassurance for nervous pups. More than exercise, my walks are about building trust and keeping tails wagging, so you can feel confident your best friend is safe, happy, and truly cared for. Pet care is at the heart of my routine — it isn’t something I fit around, it’s something I plan my day around. I structure my schedule to make sure dogs get walked on time, fed when needed, and given plenty of attention. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening check-ins, I keep a steady rhythm so pets feel secure and owners know they can rely on me every week.

“Catriona was great! She kept me updated regularly with updates and photos and was always reachable with fast replies. My dog Lova settled with her and will definitely come back to Catriona in the future for daycare/boarding”
“Kateryna is fantastic. Great communication from the first message right until picking Leo up. She took the time for a meet and greet and to understand Leo’s needs and routine. She kept us up to date throughout the day of his activities and sent us photos which definitely put us at ease. He had a wonderful time with Kateryna, thank you! Would 100% recommend anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“We left our little Ernie with the lovely debs and her wonderful husband 2 days in a row! He had the BEST time and they both made me feel so at ease when leaving him that I knew he would be in good hands! They both treated my dog like family and I will be happy to let him go back anytime!”
“Ellie was brilliant. It was like leaving my dogs with a friend or family member. Finding Ellie meant we could visit Alnick Gardens. Her dog Rodney was lovely too and I think my dogs have just had the best day!! Would highly recommend Ellie.”

“Meenu had a wonderful day with Louise. We receive frequent updates and liaise closely about pickup times. Louise is always helpful and flexible, which we really appreciate.”
“Our 8 month old spaniel, Bonnie, had a very fun stay with Laura, Leandro and Sindy. We received lots of updates of Bonnie napping, chasing leaves and playing with Sindy! Laura and Leandro are natural dog people and we felt very comfortable leaving Bonnie with them. I would not hesitate to leave her with this lovely couple and would highly recommend them! Thank you, Laura and Leandro!”
“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I strongly recommend Michael, just wish he did childcare too! He is supper flexible, professional an friendly. Ziggy is deaf and can be a handful but Michael manages her really well with sign language. He has been a great help in giving advice about helping with her anxiety. He collects and does day care too - so just what we need. A safe familiar place and person. So pleased.”

About: I absolutely love animals especially dogs, me and my little border terrier Maggie go on so many wonderful adventures. I love being outdoors and exploring rain or shine. I currently work full time, however my days are broken up with lots of gaps in my working day, which is the perfect opportunity to have some fun adventures to break up my day. I have a fenced garden and 1 boarder terrier dog of my own. She is super friendly and loves to play and explore new places.

My experience includes: Dogs: I have years of experience walking and caring for my parents' energetic Labrador, so I'm well-versed in the needs of larger, active breeds. I completed a series of obedience training courses with him when he was a pup. Cats: I have two cats at home who are my whole world; I understand cat care, play, and respecting boundaries for more aloof cats! Small/Farm Animals: I also care for three rescue, ex-battery chickens who live out their retirement in my garden. I have a soft spot for rescues and don't mind getting my hands dirty! I had a rabbit when I was a kid who lived to the ripe old age of 10. I'm currently self employed, working no more than 1 day a week and exclusively from home. I'm available at short notice and happy to fit my client work around looking after your family members. I have 2 cats and 3 chickens at home, so home boarding would only be something I could offer for the right animal. In your home however, I am respectful, clean, and tidy - the safety of your animal is my top priority. As I have 2 house cats, double checking doors and windows are shut is always on my mind! I'm very active but happy to adjust activity levels to the needs of your pet, I'm a huge animal lover and seeing a happy animal is the ultimate reward!
About: I have a 5 year old cocker spaniel and a 3 year old Vizsla. Both very different personalities who enjoy long adventurous walks whatever the weather I work full time but have availability on weekends set week days and understand the difficulty of leaving a fur baby behind when you go to work, and the stress of ensuring they are happy and walked I have a fenced garden, live close to woodland walks, passion for animals and watching them feel fulfilled on their daily walks. I can do weekdays before 9am and after 4pm and availability on the weekends all day.
About: I’ve owned animals my whole life up until recently, after my senior pup sadly passed away! Good with puppies who need entertaining and tiring out, as well elderly pets who need a calming and more subdued presence. Looked after many of my friends pets such as cats and dogs - even my sisters tortoise! Confident with smaller animals too like hamsters and guinea pigs. Have a good inkling for training basics with puppies such as sit, wait etc. I work in the film industry and work away when I have a contract, things are very quiet at the moment so I have complete free availability to look after your pets and available at short notice for your needs! Depending on what your fur baby needs, I’ll be there! Playtime with a new young pup, someone to sit with your elderly dog and keep them company… long or short walks or someone to help with a little bit of basic training if you’re out the house all day. I’m a very easy going individual who is confident with dogs and provide the specific care they need
About: I treat your furbabies like my own! With years of experience having my own pets and family pets, I know different breeds needs and will cater to whatever they need I work 5 days a week mostly in school hours, but can do outside of school hours if needed Monday until Friday at any hours you need for your furbabies, and will treat them like my own! I do solo and group walks I can drop in, play, feed or clean litter trays for cats or puppy’s! I do half an hour or hour walks or longer if needed depending on your furbaby and will treat them like my very own
About: I have always had dogs in my family up until recently unfortunately and have a lot of love to share with your dogs whether that be on long walks or staying overnight at my house I work full time hours. However I work a mix of midday working and nightshifts so I can be flexible for care. I will constantly update my availability I have a three bedroom house with a fenced back garden which is only used for the street parking. Completely safe environment and plenty of room for your dog inside my home
About: A highly reliably, friendly dog walker who will keep u updated with your wee chooches adventures! And open to negations on price depending on the circumstances of the walk and your pooches needs :) As a family we owned a kennels and catery so I was brought up around dogs/cats . As such I am very accustomed to caring and dog sitting all sizes, temperaments and ages. Starting with my sisters dogs and then gradually other peoples. I am also highly experienced in navigating dogs with conditions like being deaf, blindness and eating disorders. Growing up I also had 11 dogs, some of which were fostered for charities, some rescued from shelters/Romania and some adopted, all of which I would help look after in all nessary duties. I am also a huge walker and outdoorsy person so I’m probably your go to if a 3 hour walk is what you’re needing, for a more active dog say, a huskie or collie for example. Equally I’ve dog sat more relaxed dogs such as a pug who’d rather just chill, so can work to the needs of your beautful pooch :) I am currently working part-time on Thursday to Saturday so have a lot of flexibility to dog sit and walk your dogs both day or night :) If you are looking for a time on Thursday->saturday don’t worry though, I can walk after work from 6pm onward if needed ( I love walking! ) I’m also free to house sit anytime as long as it does not proceed 2 evenings. I’m very organised so need to cancel and reschedule? Absolutely no bother? I am fortunate to be flexible with when I can offer dog walking so just let me know what works for u! I cannot look after cats in my own home just due to my partners allergies but would be sure to cater to your cats every need. I have had many friends and family with cats so although I’ve not had one of my own I am eager to learn of their routines and needs and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention :)
About: I’m a final year vet student (about to graduate) who has had 7 years of experience both in vet practices and in pre-clinical placements such as dog walking and boarding. This means I have plenty of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats! I am at home for the summer after finishing 5 years at vet school! I will be free during the days and evenings to take the best care of your pet :) I am happy and willing to comply with requests and considerations you might need to keep your pet happy and safe! I am careful and will always make sure your pet is happy and healthy.
About: Experienced, reliable dog sitter offering loving, family-friendly care — with a calm, kid-safe environment and years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my days around walks, playtime, and feeding schedules to make sure every dog gets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I’m consistent and reliable with every pet I look after. Whether pets are staying with me or I’m visiting them in their own home, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. At my home, dogs enjoy a calm, family setting with lots of space, walks, and company from my friendly, well-behaved dog. In a pet owner’s home, I respect their routines — feeding times, walk schedules, and any special instructions — so their pets feel happy and settled while their owners are away.
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. We live on 0.7 acres of land with no nearby neighbours, providing a calm and private environment for your pet. Our garden is fenced, and although there are no gates on the driveway, dogs will always be fully supervised when outside to ensure their safety. I also have direct access to Ponteland Park on my doorstep, offering plenty of space and variety for enjoyable walks. Your pet will be cared for in a safe, attentive, and loving environment at all times.
About: 5 years working with dogs in professional settings including rescue and a canine country club. Foundation degree in animal welfare and a diploma in canine behaviour Went part time for the rescue I work for due to an injury. All healed now but, want to start spend more of my time with dogs again ! I have great deal of love and respect for individual dog needs and will pretty much do anything to make them feel safe and comfortable.
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.

“Once again Kirsty took great care and attention of Jock & Eileen, they always love the one on one attention that they get and being thoroughly spoilt and nurtured. Kirsty is calming, confident and very experienced, especially with larger dogs. We have complete trust in her ability to board them without issue and her awareness of dogs behaviour. She is great at providing pics and updates. We would 100% recommend Kirsty.”
“Would highly recommend Ros and Charles. Not only are they both lovely, kind people but they looked after our two Cavachon puppies so well. Our dogs settled well into their holiday home for 2 days while my husband and I got married in the Windemere. We knew they would be well looked after and the certainly were. Beautiful countryside with lots of areas to walk. Ros and Charles also have a lovely garden which is secure so our dogs could run around or just chill in the sun. Thank you for being so attentive and caring. We will definitely be returning to you on our 1st wedding anniversary (if not sooner)!”
“Dude stayed with Erin for three nights and had a sweet little getaway! She was really kind and sent us tons of photo updates, which made us feel super at ease while we were gone. We always knew what he was up to and that he was in good hands. He also made a new best friend (and possibly a girlfriend) with her dog, which was so cute — they became fast friends and it totally melted our hearts. Overall a great experience, and we’d definitely feel good about leaving Dude with Erin again!”
“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!”
“Rachel took great care of Stevie and also helped me out last minute which I was really grateful for. She is fab with dogs and Stevie is really happy and relaxed with her. Thanks Rachel!”
“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”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for Luna’s overnight stay. Luna stayed overnight while we travelled to Birmingham, and we felt completely reassured from the start. We received plenty of updates and photos, and it was lovely to see how relaxed and comfortable she was throughout her stay. Communication was excellent, Jesica and Sam were warm, friendly and clearly cared about Luna’s wellbeing. Pick-up was smooth, so everything was handled professionally. Thank you for taking such great care of Luna. We would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We would happily book again!”
“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: Been around dogs most of my life:) Cared for a range including Golden retrievers, Cavapoos, Huskies, Malamutes, Border Collies, Daschunds, Pugs & Frenchies. Now that I live in England, I really miss having doggy company and would 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.
“Picked up our little Biscuit today after her 2 night stay with the wonderful Gemma. Once again, full of beans when she greeted us. It is obvious to us she is so happy in your care Gemma. Thank you once again. See you soon 🐾”
“Lauren is so lovely. Loca was relaxed with her from the start which was so reassuring for us. Nothing was a bother and Loca was shattered when she got home, which for her is a sign of lots of fun during her stay! Thank you Lauren, Loca’s next weekend with you is already in the diary 🥰”
About: I've adored animals for as long as I can remember, especially dogs. Growing up around them, they’ve always been a huge part of my life and honestly never felt like “just pets” to me, they’re family. After losing my beloved Labrador last year, I started caring for other people’s dogs to help fill that quiet space, and I quickly realised how much joy it brought me. What began as helping friends and family turned into something I genuinely love, so much so that I decided to leave my fulltime job and pursue dog care full time. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone else, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, cuddles on the sofa, playtime, or just calm company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved and happy while they’re with me. I’m reliable, patient and attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend and make a new friend for myself 💕 I recently left my fulltime job so I can be available all day/night to look after/walk/play with your dog. They will have all my time I have a large fenced garden and yard so any fury friend will be safe and have lots of room to explore. In the village I live there are alot of great walks that is popular for dog walking so your dog would have plenty adventures if required.
About: I absolutely love dogs and have grown up with them in my family for many years. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life, from daily walks and feeding to playtime and lots of affection. I now have my own dog, Otis, who is 1 year old, so I understand how important it is for owners to feel their pet is safe, happy and well cared for. I’m comfortable with different breeds, energetic dogs that love long walks, and giving plenty of attention and cuddles. I will always treat every dog as if they were my own. My partner works away regularly meaning it is just me and Otis most days! We need extra cuddles and fun especially on weekends. I work a hybrid job mid-week, which means I’m home a lot and able to give dogs plenty of attention, company and regular walks throughout the day. Weekends are also perfect as I have lots of free time to dedicate to pet care. I love getting outdoors with my dog Otis and exploring all the beautiful walks around Northumberland. Your dog will enjoy plenty of exercise, fresh air and adventures while staying with me. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I have my own friendly 1-year-old dog, Otis, who loves the company of other dogs and is used to regular walks and playtime. I always follow each dog’s usual routine for feeding, exercise and rest to help them feel settled and relaxed. I provide a calm, loving environment and will send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your dog is happy and well cared for.
“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”
“Maeve looked after our two dogs ,Jock and Teddy for 3 days and they had a blast They were so well cared for , walked , played with and cuddled, we are so grateful. Would recommend without hesitation and will definitely rebook with Maeve Thank you”
“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!”
