“Joshuah took great care of Kobbie! He was very welcoming and handled Kobbie’s high energy well. He took him out for a walk even when the weather was rubbish and sent updates/pics throughout the weekend. Would definitely recommend :)”
“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 ☺️”
“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”
“I can't fault Adele. Very friendly, helpful and caring. She had my 2 dogs for a 4 day stay and they seem to have loved their time with Adele and her dogs. Definitely use her again and would totally recommend to others.”
“Louise and Dean looked after my dog Tukka so well, and took her on such great walks that she didn't want to leave! Tukka stayed overnight and enjoyed cuddles on the sofa and snuggling up in bed. It is obvious that Louise and Dean absolutely love dogs - and with Tukka the feeling was definitely mutual. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Louise again or recommend her to others.”
“Jessica is incredibly friendly, approachable and accommodating. She loves and cares for your dogs as if they’re her own, and the photo updates are fantastic! I wouldn’t hesitate to book Jessica again for the peace of mind that my dogs are in a loving home. Thank you!”
“Emily is a lovely person who looked after my precious Westie recently . She provided me with lots of updates which is important to me and photos of Koura enjoying herself on walks on the beach as well as looking very chilled and comfy in Emily’s home . I would highly recommend Emily and will use her again when I’m in the area .”
“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 🥰”
“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! :)”
“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”

“Csilla and her lovely family hosted my cairn terrier Archie in their home 18 to 22 July whilst I was away for a short break. This is the second time Archie has stayed and as before he thoroughly enjoyed his stay, playing happily with resident dog Bobby and with Csilla’s young daughter! I would recommend Csilla as a dog sitter without reservation.”

“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!”
“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.”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs since was able to walk, I take my own dogs into daily and always love the company. Walking is my safe space and dogs are too which is why this job is so well fitted for me I look after my own dogs daily so it’s routine for me.

“Amy was excellent, she quickly made friends with our cat and took great care of him while we were away. She kept us very well updated with messages and photos each visit. We will definitely book her again. Thanks Amy!”
“I cannot recommend Louise enough she looked after both of my cats for 2 nights she kept me updated with photos and how they were doing throughout the day. I was able to go away and know my cats were in good care with Louise. The house was clean and tidy coming back home and she even emptied the bin before leaving. ”
“Oh my goodness! I don’t think there are enough words to describe how amazing Alannah is!! We found ourselves in a pet parents worst nightmare! We flew out of the country for a holiday, and 6 hours after our pet sitters were meant to have already been at our house, they informed us they couldn’t do the sit. Complete panic sent in and we didn’t know what to do. We panicked and started messaging friends and family as by this point our pets had been left nearly 15 hours. We messaged Alannah and she replied within minutes and within an hour she had arranged absolutely everything for her to be able to come and sit for us. The whole process of speaking with her and booking her in to start her sit the next day was so easy. We had never used CIAF before so she helped with absolutely everything. We will 100% be happy to invite Alannah to sit for us again. The peace of mind she brings and the updates she sends made us feel very much at ease about the situation. Our Babies were very well taken care of and we came home to 4 very content animals, so much so I don’t think the cats even realised we went away 😅🤣 Thank you so much for being so wonderful, we appreciate absolutely everything you did to help us. You literally saved our holiday and rescued us from an awful situation. 100% recommend! If you’re lucky enough to get this wonderful lady to sit for you then take the opportunity! ❤️❤️”
“Fiona was amazing with Dusty, having play time with her each day and making sure she was safe.it was lovely to have the daily updates on each visit & Dusty was cared for very well whilst we were away. We would 100% recommend Fiona.”
“Maya was an incredible cat sitter. She took the time to meet both cats beforehand, which really put us at ease. During our time away, she shared photos from every visit, and it was clear they were very well looked after and happy. Highly recommend her!”
“Eve is a professional, caring person with the added advantage of her being a veterinary nurse and I will definitely use Eve again to look after Bella. She came to meet us prior to the booking, though Bella hid behind the sofa!!! Hopefully Bella will make friends with Eve next time (very nervous cat initially). Honestly contact Eve she is lovely and trustworthy. X”
“Had to leave my 6 month old kitten for a few days for the first time. Got sent loads of photos and videos on his videos which was lovely to know he was fine. When I got back he was absolutely fine, he seemed to have loved Oscar :)”
“Brian Is a lovely man and great at his job, he was very patient with me as I do not know how this app works but he soon guided me, plenty of photos of the pets to enjoy when we were away and lots of updates which is exactly what we wanted :) great to see our cats giving him cuddles Too, thorough litter box and bowl cleans and house was very clean and not smelly when I got back ! Will be using Brian in the not so distant future”

About: Cat sitting + Clinical researcher - Newcastle upon Tyne, around Newcastle upon Tyne city centre till Howdon/Wallsend, UK Cats have been a part of my life since I was 11 years old, and my love for them has only grown over the years. Since moving to Newcastle, UK, I’ve helped friends care for their cats, and in 2017, I adopted my own beloved black cat who has been my loyal companion ever since. Through my experience, I’ve encountered & managed a diverse range of cat care situations, including: ✔ Feeding difficulties & picky eaters ✔ Managing constipation & digestive issues ✔ Post-surgery aftercare & recovery support ✔ Providing comfort, cuddles & companionship Cats are more than just pets to me, they are a fundamental part of my life... As a devoted cat lover, I understand their behaviours, emotions & needs. Being a cat sitter isn’t purely a job; it’s a passion... With a genuine heart for feline care, I am committed to ensuring every cat feels safe, comfortable & well cared for in my presence. As a dedicated cat sitter, I understand that every cat has a unique personality & their comfort, health is my top priority... Some cats are independent, while others need extra attention & reassurance - especially when faced with a new person. I take the time to build trust, ensuring each cat feels relaxed & at ease in my care. 🐾Tailored Care for Every Cat🐾 Clear communication with owners is essential to providing the best possible care. Whether your cat needs feeding, fresh water replenishment litter box maintenance, cuddles, grooming, medication administration (including injections), or close observation, I will follow your instructions carefully, thoroughly & attentively. Each visit usually lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your requests & your cat’s needs. 🐾Reliable & Transparent Service🐾 To give you peace of mind while you're away, I can send regular photos and videos - as many as you’d like! You can always stay updated & reassured about your cat’s well-being. 🐾Flexible & Trustworthy🐾 I am a permanent resident of Newcastle upon Tyne with a clear DBS check, ensuring reliability & trustworthiness. I am always open to learning and adapting to your cat’s specific needs. Any special requests, let’s discuss them...I’ll do my best to accommodate. Price is negotiable depending on travel time, requested timing & specific needs!!! Your cat’s happiness & well-being are my top priority. I’m here to provide loving, professional care. Let’s chat about how I can help... It depends. There will be a discussion with clients. Sometimes I work remotely, sometimes I am not. There will be the timetable for me in advance for clients to check prior to their decision to contact me. Alternatively, please contact me by email directly. We will schedule a meeting for the pet care. I am happy to cover all the areas in Newcastle upon Tyne. Different cat has different personality and behaviour towards loneliness and facing a stranger, even different attitudes towards female and male. Communicating with cat owners is also quite important to know how to take care of their cats and how to max my help. I hope every cat is the most comfortable around me. As long as owners tell me in brief or detail what treatments and services you need from me, I will let you know if I can do it or not, I will try and learn as much as I can to provide my service based on your cats' needs as my responsibility. By following the owner's instruction, I spend 30 - 40 mins/each visit with cats who need daily feeding, cuddling, combing, medication administration or/and injections and observation. Photos & videos are available to send to owners as needed.
About: Hi! I’m a calm, friendly dog lover based near the coast in North Shields. I’m responsible, reliable, and really attentive. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe and settled. I’ve raised my own dog since I found her at just 3 months old, and I’ve done all of her training myself. Because of that, I’ve spent a lot of time learning about positive training, routines, and what dogs need to feel happy and secure. I’m great at reading a dog’s mood, whether they’re full of zoomies and energy or more of a sleepy mood. I always focus on safety, comfort, and keeping to your dog’s usual routine so they feel at ease while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is in really good hands. I work from home/ am currently in between roles so I can walk your dog whenever suits! I don’t mind popping in or having a mid afternoon walk. Happy to be specific with timings to help if you are in the office. I will take your lead on whatever you are comfortable with in terms of walks and care and act accordingly - eg lead or no lead. Also happy to do quieter routes if that better suits.

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

When your dog stays with me, they’re part of the family. I’ve made my home a cozy, dog-friendly space where dogs or pups can feel safe, relaxed, and totally at ease. Whether it’s a comfy spot to nap or a secure garden to explore, I’ve got everything set up with their comfort and safety in mind. I stick to their routines, keep a close eye on how they’re settling in, and always give updates so you’re never left wondering how they’re doing. Trust means everything to me — and I treat every dog like they’re my own.
About: I have been pet sitting for almost 2 years and it has been something I fall in love with every day. I care with all the love and affection and meet each pet’s needs. I have plenty of time with your puppies. I’m just managing my kids school time which takes about 30 minutes for dropping them off and pick them up but if you dog can’t be left alone I can definitely take it with me without any problem. I have a fenced big garden so your puppy will be very safe here with a big place to play. They are allowed to go to my bed if they feel safer in that way.
About: Owner of 2 gingers. One is now 20 and the other hitting 16yrs old. I'm well aware they rule the roost and I don't argue. Free to be available mornings and nights 7 days a week if required. Always flexible and not rushed, will stay around for cuddles if they are willing I'd come to your house. I feel this reduces the stress on the animal. Their smells, their furniture better for them to relax in your absence

About: From the day i was born there has always been a dog (or other furry friends) waiting for me at home. From my first little childhood dogs Pepsi (a yorkie) and Ruby (a jack russell) to my two current fur babies Axel and Nova (a rottweiller and american bull dog) i have cared for and loved, both my big and small dogs, their whole life. I adore taking them to the beach, playing fetch (even if im usually the one fetching) and the occasional pup cup of course. Ive somehow managed to train both axel and nova to do basic training such as sitting, waiting, giving paw, high fives and other cool tricks i love them to show off. Ive cared for mothering dogs and even nursed the odd few poorly pups into healthy little troublemakers. You can put your trust in me to care for your pooches like they’re my own! I currently work part time (3 days a week) and im free on weekends which means im available most of the week to help your pooches stretch their legs whilst also getting to enjoy the company myself! I am unable to board dogs in my own home as i have two dogs myself however im a very clean person and very respectful of other people’s homes and im also a very wary dog walker from keeping an eye out for other dogs to checking the road is clear and safe if we were needing to cross a road

“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 ☺️”
“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”
“Jessica is incredibly friendly, approachable and accommodating. She loves and cares for your dogs as if they’re her own, and the photo updates are fantastic! I wouldn’t hesitate to book Jessica again for the peace of mind that my dogs are in a loving home. Thank you!”
“Emily is a lovely person who looked after my precious Westie recently . She provided me with lots of updates which is important to me and photos of Koura enjoying herself on walks on the beach as well as looking very chilled and comfy in Emily’s home . I would highly recommend Emily and will use her again when I’m in the area .”
“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 🥰”
“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”
“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!”
“Queli and her family welcomed Max and Millie into their home and took excellent care of them. We received regular updates and photos so we were able to enjoy our time away without worrying about anything at all. We will definitely rebook again and recommend to others, thanks to you all x”

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:)
“Yasmin has been absolutely fantastic. Yasmin really kept us in the know with regards to Percy’s welfare throughout his time spent with her as well as fun updates of what he’d been up to. It was lovely to be able to relax on holiday knowing that Percy was in safe hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Yasmin. Five stars.”
“Sima and Kristina were amazing looking after our girls and Axel. Sima suggested we have a meet and greet first before making the booking which was a lovely thought - we could see the garden and house that our dogs will be spending time in which put our minds at ease knowing they have the same freedom as they do at home. Sima also kept in touch with photos and updates. Thank you very much Sima and Kristina!”
