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!”

“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.

I’m delighted and my dog is already looking forward to a week’s holiday with Csilla.”
“Really attentive to Jax's needs and quirks. Very informative about their processes which made a 1st time user alot happier.

Thank you so much from myself and Amelia”
“Tasha was great with our cats having so much experience with her own we felt like our two would be right at home with her and we were right :) It was a last minute booking we needed but she made time to visit us the day before to meet our cats and go over their needs (as fitz especially is a weird one and bee hasn’t been dealing with the heat too well) She sent the most photos we’ve ever gotten from a cat sitter which really put our minds at ease. Thank you so much!”

“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”

I have a fenced yard and an old fury baby - Lilica (14 years old, but very active). I also can easily keep the dogs apart if 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.
“Thank you Sima for taking such good care of Rocky. He had an amazing time today with you and your dog. When I went to pick him up, Rocky didn’t want to come back at all, which shows he had such a nice time. Thank you so much for making Rocky’s day good ?”

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and now own a wonderful rescue dog of my own. I’ve taken care of various dogs for friends and family and have volunteered at a shelter in the past. I know the importance of trusting that your dog is in safe hands and I pride myself on the highest quality of care for your lovely dogs. I work freelance from home so I am in charge of my own work schedule and am very flexible to work around this to suit your needs. I am a true believer in routine being imperative for dogs feeling secure and will always follow and trust your guidance on how to best take care of your pets.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and the bond I had with my own dogs shaped everything about who I am today. They taught me patience, empathy, and how to understand animals who communicate more through feeling than words. Losing them was hard, but the impact they had on me is why I now pour my heart into pet sitting and dog walking. I specialise in supporting nervous, shy, and big‑feeling dogs who need someone steady, gentle, and predictable. I walk at a relaxed pace that helps dogs settle, sniff, decompress, and feel safe. I follow each dog’s routine closely — same walking routes, same cues, same pace — because consistency builds trust. I’m soft‑spoken, reliable, and fully present with every dog I care for. Caring for animals feels natural to me — like something I was always meant to do.
“Ana was really nice, met up with us beforehand and then took Watson out for two walks and gave me a little report each time. I would recommend her and will book again in the future!”
“Caitlyn was a massive help in walking bella dog for me today and was very accommodating when almost last minute I had to ask for an extra walk than the two planned. Highly recommended by Bella and me.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I know how much our pets mean to us. they're family! Leaving them with someone else can be a big decision. That's why I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while they're with me. I love getting to know each pet's unique personality, whether they're full of energy and love to play, or prefer a slower pace with plenty of cuddles and company. I'll follow their usual routine as closely as possible because I know how important consistency is for helping pets feel happy and settled. As a dog owner myself, I understand the little things that matter: regular walks, mealtimes, playtime, naps, belly rubs, and lots of affection. Your pet won't just be looked after—they'll be treated like part of the family. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages along the way, so you can see exactly how much fun they're having and enjoy peace of mind while you're away. 🐾💕 I work part-time and also spend days working from home, which means I have the time and flexibility to give pets lots of attention and company throughout the day. Our days usually start with breakfast and a walk, and I love taking dogs out to enjoy the nearby fields and nature walks. Whether they enjoy exploring, sniffing every blade of grass, or simply getting some fresh air, I'll make sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. I have a friendly Cockapoo puppy, Milo, and a cat called Tilly, so being around animals is a big part of my everyday life and something I genuinely enjoy. I know how important routine is for pets, as it's something I follow with my own animals. Milo has regular walks, consistent meal times, plenty of playtime, and lots of opportunities to rest and recharge. When caring for your pet, I'll do my best to stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable, settled, and at ease.

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!”

About: I have 6 years of veterinary care experience, I spent 4 of those years working for a mobile veterinary business so I have plenty of experience visiting other people’s homes to look after their fur babies.

“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!”

We went away for a week and Sarah kept us up to date with daily photos and messages which showed bella having a great time .

About: I'm animal lover and cat parent to a sophisticated soft lad called Benni. Work schedules make it a little difficult to have a dog full time, but I'd love to look after dogs for long weekends. I work from home most days so can accommodate your dogs preffered walks and food schedules. Sitting easiest at weekends but can consider come week days. I have a good sized house, so if your dog needs some alone time to get settled there is plenty of space for them. We do have a cat, so only dogs that get along with cats please.
