“Adele is amazing!! This was Stanley’s first time away from home looked after by someone other than a family member so we were all understandingly nervous! Adele welcomed Stanley into her home like one of her own! He was cuddles and kissed, walked and stroked - he didn’t even want to come home! She kept us up to date with pictures and videos to put us at ease and it was clear Stanley was enjoying his holiday too! We would definitely book Stanley in with Adele again and recommended her 100%”

“We highly recommend Anthony to look after your dog. This was the first time we have ever left Skye our elderly dog with anyone other than family but Anthony put us at ease and sent updates everyday. There’s nothing other than praise i can offer. He is one of the nicest people I have met and will definitely board again with him. ?”
“Charlotte was an amazing boarder for our frenchie Arlo! this was our first time ever using rover and Charlotte put us right at ease so we didn’t need to worry about a thing whilst we were getting married. It gave us a great peace of mind knowing he was being well looked after and was so happy during his stay! I can’t recommend enough, we had multiple messages and photos throughout Arlo’s stay and it was perfect! I’d recommend Charlotte to anyone who is considering a pet sitter!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Amazing dog sitter! Our dog can be a bit high maintenance and has lots of little quirks, but she was so patient, caring, and attentive. We got great updates while we were away and came home to a happy, relaxed pup. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. We'd happily book again!”
“Very happy with Emily and her gorgeous doggy Sarge! Berni was happy and had lots of lovely walks. Emily is a lovely person, also kept me updated and was very attentive. Already booked again!”

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 ☺️”

“I can’t even express how wonderful this lady is, she took the time to reassure me on leaving my fur baby in her care and she did not disappoint. Lovely photos or cuddles and playing outside. 10/10 for me and can’t wait to have more weekends away with no stress with my little puppy 🥰🥰”
“We were very satisfied with the lovely service provided by Melanie whilst looking after our pooch Otis. We met up before our holidays and she took to Otis straight away and him to her. She looked after him for 8 nights and I think it was almost home from home for him. Melanie provided us with updates and photos which really put our minds at ease. We would certainly use Melanie again without a doubt. Thank you very much Melanie”
“If I could give Gabbi 10 stars I would!! She was absolutely amazing with my Bruno and looked after him like he was her own. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos which really reassured me as this was my first time leaving Bruno with someone who wasn’t family. Bruno also got along really well with Gabbi’s lovely dog Sully and they became the best of friends!! I would 1000% recommend Gabbi to anyone and would definitely rebook with her! xx”
“Vanessa was amazing! From keeping us updated too helping Ozzy feel at home. She ensured Ozzy was comfortable and not nervous. She’s fantastic and couldn’t suggest her more to anyone ! Will be definitely using her service again”
About: I can't remember a time when I haven't had dogs in my house, we have had a range of dogs from Jack Russels to Rottweiler and I have loved them all. I have a good understanding of how to walk feed and bathe dogs however the owners preference will be greatly relied on in this case. The house is fairly large with a garden and paddock both of which are fenced in. I hope to see you and you dog soon! currently I am home from university in the US and am home almost all the time to see my family, the most i leave the house it to go and food shop with my Mom. I tend to go for a walk or run every morning and then the paddock at the back of our house provides a great area for playing fetch with the dogs and keeping them entertained. As I am home often feeding will not be a problem at all I have no dogs in the house currently, but I have a little sister who adores animals and two younger brother who are similar to me in age and love to be outside. The Animals are welcome in the house and on the furniture (if the owner agrees).
“This was our first booking with Vera. She’s super friendly and very organised. She checked in with me before Lola’s stay started and kept us up to date on how she was getting on. Lola came home a very happy dog and is looking forward to her next stay in July. Big thanks to Vera for looking after our fur baby so we’ll.”

About: I have experience caring for cats both personally and professionally. Growing up, I always had cats in the family, so I understand their different personalities and needs, from playful and affectionate to shy or anxious cats. I also currently work as a night veterinary assistant, where I regularly care for cats of all ages and temperaments. This has given me hands-on experience in handling cats calmly and safely while making sure they feel comfortable and stress-free. I understand that cats need patience, routine, and a calm environment, and I will always treat your cat as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for during their stay.
“I recently hired Charlotte to care for my two cats, Bonnie and Clyde, while I was away on a week-long trip. From the initial consultation to the final visit, Charlotte was professional, reliable, and showed a genuine love for animals. The cats clearly adored Charlotte, and I received regular updates and photos and videos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. The house was also spotless when I returned, which was a lovely bonus. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Charlotte to anyone seeking top-notch care for their beloved pets.”
“Very happy with the care my cat, Phoebe received. She is a rescue and very timid so didn't need any interactions but was updated daily on toileting and food so knew everything was ok. Thank you so much Simona and Kristina we will feel happy to leave Phoebe in your care again :)”

I hold a certificate in cat behaviour, which gives me a deeper understanding of their needs and moods. Whether it’s playing, feeding, or just providing a calm and safe environment, I’m confident in giving cats the care and attention they deserve.

About: I’m Victoria, 38 years old. I’m an artist who lives in Sunderland. I’m a huge cat lover and have my own cat, Ferb (check out his Instagram @ferbtheblackcat) and another lovely long term foster cat who I adore. I’ve always had a cat, and love being around them, My 17 year old rescue cat, Foo Foo, who I had for 16 years, passed away 2 years ago leaving a cat sized hole in my life.. so I then volunteered at Cats Protection and ended up adopting my cat, Ferb from there. (I wish I could’ve taken them all) I LOVE all cats, with all different personalities I have experience in caring for them in all stages of their lives from tiny kittens to elderly cats, both indoor & outdoor and would love to help look after your feline friend/friends.
About: I believe what sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong passion and ultimate goal in life and dedication to all of Earths creatures. I am a student studying Animal Management at college with the ambition to progress to University to study zoology. Who better to trust with your animals than someone whose life goal is to care and protect the welfare of all living things? I am currently a volunteer at local animal shelter and charity ‘Pawz for thought’ where I assist in taking care of multiple cats and kittens who are in need of our help. I am available from Saturday to Mondays with occasional availability on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons. This is due to my College Schedule and volunteering schedule which are all vitally important for my future. My current pets, my heart and souls in my life, my two cats Caillou and Nova, are house cats and remain indoors unless equipped with a harness and strict watch. I am an advocate for spaying and neutering and putting in precautions for all aspects of animal health and welfare. Ensuring an animal is happy, safe and comfortable are all priorities I take pride in harbouring. I am well versed in the 5 essential welfare needs for animals under The Animal Act 2006 and I take this legislation into my animals care very seriously, ensuring an animal under my care is given the best care possible.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Sunderland
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: At my dog sitting service, I am proud to providing top-notch care for dogs with a personal touch. For example: puppy and senior care, video calls with the owner, daily reports about how we spent the day, online tracker ( walking routes, location) with a 24/7 acces via app, home made cooked healthy meals (optional). I'm mainly at home all day, but I have cctv access with a speaker option if I need to go out. I never leave a dog at home alone who is with me for the first time and I am not sure what to expect from them exactly. I have a fully closed rear garden and a friendly tiny dog, Bobby (11, Shi-tzu mix :). Dogs can use sofas, beds if they are allowed at their home as well. I only use crate at a special request of the owner. Dog walks are only on-leash.
“Boo had the best time today!! So happy and relaxed played in the garden and had snuggles on the sofa she can’t wait till her next visit!! 😁 Can not be happier with today’s visit such a warm friendly welcome the perfect place thank you we will be returning 😁”
“Our sausage dog Frankie spent the day with Emily and her pooch Sarge today. Emily took them to the beach and Frankie had a brilliant time. We were sent plenty of photos and videos which put us at ease. Will definitely be booking again and would recommend 😊”
“Simba had a lovely first day with James. He had a long walk, tasty treats and met a new doggy friend. I got some great photos which showed how comfortable he was and how well he settled in there. Very well recommended.”
“As this was our first time leaving Kobi with someone else, we were a little apprehensive. But Kobi loved her stay with Anthony! We are 100% confident that Anthony can meet all Kobi’s needs when she’ll be staying with him for a week in August! We just hope Anthony won’t be too shattered after a week with her 🤣”
“Sam looked after Angus at very short notice and was really flexible to what we needed. Angus had s as great time at home with her family and also had a proper walk each day. Highly recommended.”
About: What sets me apart is availability and consistency. I work from home full-time, so dogs are never left alone and always have consistent supervision and company. I live in a calm, spacious two-bedroom house that’s ideal for in-home boarding. I’ve looked after dogs for several years through social platforms as well as for friends and family, and I’m comfortable following different routines and needs. I enjoy regular walks and providing attentive, reliable care. I’m especially well suited to puppies who need structure and senior dogs who benefit from a quieter, closely monitored environment. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m always available for supervision, regular walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Dogs are never left alone for long periods and are part of my day rather than worked around. I provide a safe and clean home environment where dogs are well attended. Because I work from home, pets are never left unattended and their routines are followed carefully. My home is well suited for boarding, with plenty of space for dogs to settle comfortably, and I make sure walks, feeding, and rest are structured and consistent. I always prioritise a dog’s comfort, safety, and wellbeing while they’re in my care.
About: I am QLS Level 3 Animal Care, Pet First Aid & Pet CPR qualified, and carry a pet first aid kit with me at all times. I am a passionate animal lover; I volunteered for Sheffield Retired Greyhound Trust until I moved to the North East in 2024, spending my Saturday mornings caring for and walking rescue greyhounds. I grew up with two of my own dogs. I have been providing dog walking services since 2017, and daycare and boarding since 2019, meaning I have over 15 years of experience taking care of dogs. 🐶 I have a calm and quiet home, and can provide enrichment and plenty of attention, especially if your dog loves a sofa cuddle! I pride myself in being reliable and communicative, so you know your dog is in the best hands. I live near Rainton Meadows Nature Reserve, and hold a Durham Wildlife Trust membership to walk dogs in a variety of different places so they don't get bored. 🌳 I organise a pre-meet before all boarding bookings to check that you and your dog feel comfortable with me, my partner Cal, and our home, to make sure we're a good fit for your dog and vice versa. We don't have any of our own pets, and I only care for one family's pets at a time, to ensure I can provide the best one to one love and care; a real home away from home. 🥰 When your dog is in my care, I treat them as if they were my own. I will provide you with regular photo 'pupdates' on how they are and what they're getting up to. 🐾 I work from home, so I can offer boarding and daycare for dogs and small furries (separately, or together if from the same famiy). I can only cater for dogs with separation anxiety for daycare, but not for boarding. I live in a calm and quiet detached house with a decent sized fenced-in garden, with my partner Cal. We don’t have any of our own pets, and I only care for one family’s pets at a time, to ensure I can provide the best one to one love and care.
“Charlotte was very professional throughout the start process, she was very accommodating of our shifts to make sure both of us were there for the meet and greet, she asked every question to make sure Max was getting the same love, attention and training in her home as he would get at his own. Max had a fantastic day with Charlotte, doing everything he would do at home and more, no change to his routine and Charlotte sent plenty of pictures and videos through out, we would definitely use again because we are using Charlotte again!”
“Very welcoming to me and Pansy. I could see she felt at home and was happy to leave her. Good communication between me and the sitters. I would definitely ask them to have Pansy again.”
About: I rescued my own dog from Belarus where he was a street dog. Elvis is blind and needs extra care but leads a full and happy life with us. We also have a cat at home and a horse on a local farm. We are fully licensed with Sunderland City Council and Ofqual canine first aid trained (level 3). I am available weekdays and weekends depending on your needs and I offer a flexible service. I offer walks and play time alongside my own dog. I offer a high standard of care in my own home and whilst out on walks; I have been checked and vetted by my local council and hold an animal activity license for your piece of mind. Each dog in my care will have a risk assessment, and will be checked in and out. I am affiliated with a local vet.
About: We first got our family dog 15 years ago, and sadly he passed away last year. I loved taking care of my little dog and losing him was so so difficult - and I’ve still got so much love to give! So I will always look after your pet like they’re my own and make sure that they are very comfortable and happy whilst in my care. I am currently working as a freelance artist, so I’m at home most of the time. I don’t drive, so I like going for walks and chilling on a night (preferably with a pooch!). I live alone in a ground floor flat with a closed communal garden (shared with my upstairs neighbours). I do freelance work from home, which means I give the pooches I look after 100% of my love and attention!
“Diane looked after our 2 dogs whilst we went for a family meal. Our 2 girls met their dog Niko and got on extremely well, even Rose, who is still coming out of her shell. We are very happy, dogs seem very happy, so we're very happy to recommend. Many thanks ✨”
“Marley had the best time with Sophie today. Sophie sent us lots of updates and photos of Marley throughout the day to let us know how he had settled. Marley is such a high energy dog but Sophie was brilliant with him and meeting his needs. Her communication is brilliant and is very responsive to messages. Marley also loved meeting and playing with his new doggy friend Riley. We would happily use Sophie again for dog sitting in the future. Thank you!”

About: I have taken care of my friend's dogs for over 4 years now, dogsitting, walks and vet appointments, and I feel confident to look after your pets whenever you need. I am a university student with only two days at uni with most of my time being spent at home studying on my own at home which makes my schedule very flexible. My flat has restricted windows, and there is a garden/parking which is walled in the back of my apartment block where I can take your pets for fun time on the grass.

“We highly recommend Anthony to look after your dog. This was the first time we have ever left Skye our elderly dog with anyone other than family but Anthony put us at ease and sent updates everyday. There’s nothing other than praise i can offer. He is one of the nicest people I have met and will definitely board again with him. ?”
“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!”
“Very happy with Emily and her gorgeous doggy Sarge! Berni was happy and had lots of lovely walks. Emily is a lovely person, also kept me updated and was very attentive. Already booked again!”
“Sarah looked after my dog, at quite short notice. She's been brilliant, sending me pictures of him whilst I was away and letting me know how's he's doing. 100% recommended.”
“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 ☺️”
“What a brilliant person. Very calm and made me feel very calm and happy before Boris went to stay and while he was there - will definitely call Lewis again next time Boris needs a holiday”
“Claire was fantastic at looking after my dog, she gave regular updates through the day on what they’d been up to. I felt my dog was in a “home from home” environment and treated as part of Claire’s family.”
“I can’t even express how wonderful this lady is, she took the time to reassure me on leaving my fur baby in her care and she did not disappoint. Lovely photos or cuddles and playing outside. 10/10 for me and can’t wait to have more weekends away with no stress with my little puppy 🥰🥰”
“If I could give Gabbi 10 stars I would!! She was absolutely amazing with my Bruno and looked after him like he was her own. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos which really reassured me as this was my first time leaving Bruno with someone who wasn’t family. Bruno also got along really well with Gabbi’s lovely dog Sully and they became the best of friends!! I would 1000% recommend Gabbi to anyone and would definitely rebook with her! xx”
About: I can't remember a time when I haven't had dogs in my house, we have had a range of dogs from Jack Russels to Rottweiler and I have loved them all. I have a good understanding of how to walk feed and bathe dogs however the owners preference will be greatly relied on in this case. The house is fairly large with a garden and paddock both of which are fenced in. I hope to see you and you dog soon! currently I am home from university in the US and am home almost all the time to see my family, the most i leave the house it to go and food shop with my Mom. I tend to go for a walk or run every morning and then the paddock at the back of our house provides a great area for playing fetch with the dogs and keeping them entertained. As I am home often feeding will not be a problem at all I have no dogs in the house currently, but I have a little sister who adores animals and two younger brother who are similar to me in age and love to be outside. The Animals are welcome in the house and on the furniture (if the owner agrees).
About: I was the neighbourhood dog sitter when I was younger & I’ve had lots of experience with a range of breeds (staffys, Rottweilers, springer & cocker spaniels, vizlas, Weimaraners, chihuahuas etc) - I’ve had experiences with puppies & senior care. Im attentive to detail and will follow any instructions to the T! I am at home full time as if my boyfriend George - so my schedule is completely flexible in terms of pet care. I can board dogs any day of the week, not just limited to weekends! I have a secure / fenced back garden with double patio doors leading out so dogs can have full reign. My front garden is large but not as secure as the back so any front garden time is supervised / on a lead if necessary. I do have 2 rabbits living at home, they are in their own room with a stair gate so will be completely secured during any visits - I live in an area that’s got some really lovely places to go for dog walks! Besides the rabbits, it’s me & my partner George living at home (we own our home), George is also at home full time so any dogs coming will have plenty of love to go around between us!
“We are so grateful! Very caring and loving with our dog Evie, very knowledgeable about dogs too. We could tell Evie had a great time with Flynn and Hunter too, it's great that Evie gets to socialise in such a great place, with a massive garden and loving carers.”
“Craig has been absolutely amazing to communicate with and Willow had a fantastic week. She was well cared for and every request I had for Willow was met. We were given updates on her throughout the week so we felt very reassured the whole time as it was our first time leaving her. Would highly recommend Craig for any dog care needs, 10/10”
“Julie looked after Pudding for two nights and he had a fantastic time. He was well cared for and returned home happy and settled. I was very happy with Julie's professional approach, excellent communication and friendly manner. Julie also provided a crate for Pudding and clearly goes above and beyond. I can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much!”
