“Charlotte was awesome with Mylo while we were gone. She sent tons of updates and pics to show he was having a blast, which was such a relief!

Thanks again, Charlotte, we'll be using you again for sure!”

I received updates and photos throughout the visit and would be more than happy for Rocco to visit again 10/10”
About: I am a 28 year old girl who has grown up with dogs my entire life. I have recently moved back to the north east and cannot commit to my own dog at present due to my working hours. I have a passion for walking and often my evenings and weekends involve lengthy walks/ hikes that seem wrong without a furry friend! I have grown up around large dog breeds- such as Rottweilers, therefore I have extensive knowledge and experience walking and taking care of larger dog breeds that some other people may not be comfortable with. I work full time Monday- Friday but I am available for evening and weekend walks/ overnight care for those people that may work shifts! I am available from 4.30pm each evening and can also offer early morning services. I do not currently have any pets as i have moved away temporarily for work but it is something i am missing massively! I live in an upstairs flat with no garden but there is a small park across the road that dogs can we taken to on leads for comfort breaks, i have had my family pets stay before and this was not an issue!
About: Ever since my fur baby passed away last year I’ve so missed having a dog around. I love all breeds of dogs, having owned German Shepherds and previously been boarding a Cane Corso, large breeds are welcome here❤️ I work full time, however my early mornings (before 7.15am) or my evenings after 4pm are always free. I typically have a Monday off of work and free all day then, I can board dogs Sunday (after work), overnight and all day Monday. I will have more flexibility in June - being able to board for days/weeks at a time. I have an enclosed front and back garden, with the back garden having high fences, I have back patio doors to allow the dog to come freely in and out of the house. Your pet can treat my home like their home, I want them to feel comfortable with me and enjoy their time here. Whether that be snuggled up together on the sofa or giving them their own space wherever they prefer.

“We got back from holiday this afternoon and can honestly say that knowing Paige was there to take care of Granit made us enjoy our holiday even more as we were a little anxious leaving our kitten for the first time. We were kept well informed with messages, pictures and videos and knew what Granit was getting up to. Paige made useful suggestions that we will implement going forward as we're new to owning a kitten and appreciated her knowledge and experience. We will definitely be asking her to look after Granit in future 😊”
“This was our first time using a cat sitting service and I can confidently say it won't be the last. Joanne has been an absolute star from start to finish. Communication has been great throughout, sending us daily updates of the girls with pictures/videos. We've had complete peace of mind and I can't recommend her enough. Thank you! ”
“Sima was fantastic and looked after my cats wonderfully. Communication up to and during my trip was brilliant, I even received daily pictures of the cats and an update of how they were doing. This was my first time using Rover and I would definitely use Sima again any time I need my cats looking after. Thank you so much :)”
“What can i say about Zoe.. other than she is amazing. I carnt thank her enough for looking after my cat Marnie and also my home. She made my holiday even better knowing that my pet was in safe secure care. I would highly recommend this lovely lady to anyone. I will certainly be booking Zoe everytime we have a break away. My cat was well cared for. And to be honest 2 weeks is a long time to be away from your pet. But Zoe made Marnie happy and content. Thankyou so much from the bottom of our hearts. Marie and Marnie xx”
About: Hi there, my name is Chlo and I absolutely adore cats of all breeds, shapes and sizes. I have always had my own cats, caring for them from as early as 7-years old, and now I have my own little fur baby called Ellie. I had five cats growing up, from twin sister kittens (Sasha and Midnight), and a spicy ginger cat (Griffin), to one of my eldest cats ever (Gonnie) who sadly passed in 2020 at 21-years old. I have a tattoo on my right forearm to remember her - she was my best friend. I would love to spend my spare time doing daily drop ins to care for cats. I am also willing to offer most services, please just ask! I have experience with: - Patience for anxious and overwhelmed cats - Administering basic medication if needed - I have a calm, quiet and sensitive personality - And, most importantly, an undying love for cats and kittens
About: I’m a very bubbly, caring and patient person. I’ve grown up around animals, cats and dogs. My grandma has had many cats over the years that I have helped to care for. Presently my grandma has 2 cats, that were feral, that I’ve helped to take care of many times and I looked after them from when they were both kittens. My aunt owns 4 cats, two of which are Mainecoons who I love playing with.
About: Hi! I’m Ella I’m 19 and am a cat lover! I have had two cats throughout my life. One black and white British longhair called Dash and one tabby British shorthair called Sharkie. I love taking care of them and letting them be their own bossy selves
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.

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.
About: I have cared for dogs for many years and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, patient and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I understand that every dog is different and will always take the time to learn their individual needs, routines and behaviours. Your dog’s safety, happiness and wellbeing will always be my priority. I love to walk dogs on and off the lead depending on your preference, I have lots of different walks to take them on! I’ll come collect your dog and make sure they get the maximum out of their walks. I offer 1-1 walks where I will take your dog somewhere remote firstly I’ll come and meet your dog to establish a good connection to make sure your dog knows who I am, I will then keep them on the lead for a few walks, if I believe I have a good connection then I will take them for off lead walks whether that’s on lead of off lead, I don’t mind taking a ball or just letting them have a sniff around! I also offer house sitting, if you’re at work and worried about your pet I can come round, do some exercise in the back yard or just sit and chill with them, anything you want me to do I’ll make sure it’s done. Don’t worry I will always send pictures of your dog to make you feel better and it always gives you something to smile about whether you’re at work or on holiday My partner and I want to create our own little business and we’ve agreed it should be around the thing we love most, Dogs! We’re both off a lot due to me working shifts and my partner working opposite so there’s always someone in for our dogs and we’d love to help you out! We understand that looking after dogs isn’t easy due to life and work, we’ll make sure they’re cared for so you can relax when you’re with them. My house is great for dogs, it has a big back garden with a lot of toys and treats, we usually try and keep our dogs on a healthy diet by feeding them carrots and some fruits for treats! We make sure that our dogs are never put in a situation where they might be in danger, we would do the exact same for you!
About: I have a very good knowledge of all types of cats. I absolutely adore them. Also I have grown up with them nearly all of my life no matter what. I’ve always had. A Cat at my Side for some odd reason! Even the neighbours cut would usually sit outside my door crying😂

“Sam was very welcoming to us and our Dog Poppy during a meet and greet. We are new to this and were nervous about the whole sitter and day care scenario but Sam made us relaxed and Poppy enjoyed her visit and time in Sam's home.

“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!”
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.
“Samantha did a perfect job for us looking after our anxious Bichon Archie. My mind was put at rest straight away and I really appreciated the pictures and messages I received throughout his stay there. I will definitely use Samantha again. Thank you so much.”

About: Hi there, I’m a 24 year-old mum to one. I have recently started my own dog walking business. I have grown up with dogs all of my life currently in the property that I’m in I cannot have a dog of my own so I found myself coming up with the idea of being able to spend time with dogs. I own a two-year-old female Cat called Luffy! My little boy is almost 7 and extremely respectful of all animals! I’m hoping to build a bond with pet owners who can always trust me with their four like family members🩷 I currently don’t work as I’ve opened my dog walking business so I’m hoping to work towards that I am free the whole day from 8 am up until 4:30 pm due to the School run. I’m also free all weekends from early morning till 6 pm as long as the animal is okay with children. I have a fenced off garden that is full of grass, unfortunately I do not offer House sitting in other peoples homes due to the fact that I do have a child so I will need to be in my own home but I can rest assured that all animals will be safe here. I’m happy to provide constant updates whenever requested any animal is welcome on my furniture. again, I do have a cat at home so hopefully they will get along. I will always stick to your feeding schedule and never go off it. I am very respectful for how people train and take care of their pets and I will treat them as if they are my own. Personally I do not have a crate at home obviously due to not having a dog but I wouldn’t really want to get one. I am happy for the pet to roam free in my home as long as the owner is okay with that.

“I cant rate Danielle highly enough. She is amazing! It was our dogs Max first daycare and she put us at ease from the first time we met her. Max spent two full days with Danielle and her family and he throughly enjoyed himself. He was given lots of walks, treats and attention which he loved. During his days Danielle constantly kept us updated on his welfare and sent many pictures. All of which showed him having lots of fun with her family and her pet dog Frazer. I would definitely recommend Danielle to others. Such a kind genuine person who will treat your pet like her own. We will be booking again.”

“James has been a great help walking my Mirrie for me. She can be quite a nervous around new people yet she warmed to James very quickly.

About: Hi, I’m a qualified and experienced animal carer based in Sunderland, offering reliable dog walking, pet sitting, and home-based care services. I hold Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications in Animal Care, along with a Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma, giving me a strong foundation in both practical handling and animal welfare. Alongside my qualifications, I’ve completed two years of hands-on experience working on a farm with a wide variety of animals, which helped me develop confidence, patience, and a deep understanding of animal behaviour in real-world situations. I currently work in a doggy daycare, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments on a daily basis. This includes high-energy dogs, nervous dogs, and dogs with different social needs, so I’m very comfortable adapting my care style to suit each individual dog. My focus is always on maintaining your pet's normal routine as much as possible, reducing stress and helping them feel secure while you’re away.Every pet is treated with patience, care, and respect, as if they were my own. I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone new, so I provide regular updates, messages, and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.My goal is simple: to provide safe, reliable, and genuinely caring pet services that owners can trust and pets can enjoy. I aim to build long-term relationships with both pets and owners, offering consistency, routine, and high-quality care every time. I am still unemployed and looking for a job so i am free anytime of the day or night whenever i am needed i will be available. I will be pet sitting in other people's homes so if needed i can crate your dog or follow a routine whichever works best for the pet i can follow it
“Aimee instantly put my mind at ease, she is friendly and my dogs instantly warmed to her. She took them and a nice walk and provided me with updates and photos. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and have always owned one, from the smallest breeds to mid/large dogs. I have experience with all temperaments and energy levels I work full time from home and have plenty of flexibility as I do not work weekends. I have my own cocker spaniel who I am always walking, feeding and playing with but nothing beats a doggy companion for her! Please ensure you adhere to your selected drop off and pick up times, I cannot guarantee I can accommodate any changes without prior notice. I have a closed off garden which can be accessed and I always supervise any time spent out there. I have plenty of enrichment toys for your pup also. I live 30 seconds away from Kirklea park where we walk daily, usually in the morning and again in the afternoon, at the weekend we go for a long walk around Elba park or Herrington park.
“Highly recommended, Amelia walked my dog Marco while we were on holiday. My mam was watching him, she was so helpful when my dog fell a bit poorly giving my mam the advice she needed to get him back to his old self. Will definitely be using again can’t recommend Amelia enough. Once again thank you so much”
About: I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision because I’m exactly the same with my own dog, Roo. She’s my daughter, and I would only ever leave her with someone I completely trust. That’s the standard of care I strive to provide for every pet I look after. As a professional dog walker, I hold a Level 3 qualification in Canine Behaviour and a Level 4 qualification in Canine First Aid. Combined with my hands-on experience professionally working with dogs since the age of 14, these qualifications allow me to understand canine body language, recognise signs of stress or illness, and provide safe, enriching care tailored to each dog’s individual needs. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk, pet sitting during the day, or providing overnight care in your own home, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience and respect that I give Roo. I’ll take the time to learn their routine, personality and preferences so they feel safe, comfortable and happy while you’re away. I know how important peace of mind is, so I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos throughout my time with your pet. My priority is always their safety, wellbeing and happiness, giving you confidence that they’re in caring, knowledgeable and professional hands. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I plan my days around the pets I look after. This allows me to provide reliable walks, pet sitting and overnight stays without rushing, ensuring every dog receives the time, attention and enrichment they deserve. My own rescue dog, Roo, is at the heart of my daily routine, so I understand how important consistency, exercise and companionship are. I carefully organise my schedule to meet each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s sticking to their usual walking routine, feeding times, play sessions or simply providing company and reassurance while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves patient, attentive care, and I treat every dog as if they were a member of my own family. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my priority. I take the time to get to know every dog as an individual, understanding their routine, personality, likes, dislikes and any medical or dietary requirements, including allergies. As a professional dog walker with a Level 3 qualification in Canine Behaviour and a Level 4 qualification in Canine First Aid, I’m trained to recognise canine body language and behaviour. This allows me to assess how a dog is feeling and adapt my approach to ensure they remain relaxed, comfortable and happy throughout their time in my care. I’m experienced with crate training and understand that some dogs benefit from having a safe, familiar space to relax. I can also provide quiet, calming areas where dogs can choose to rest away from other animals if they need time to themselves. Every dog is different, and I always respect their individual needs and boundaries. I have a secure, fenced garden for safe outdoor time and share my home with my rescue dog, Roo, and my two cats. However, I appreciate that not every dog is comfortable around other animals. If your dog is nervous or prefers their own space, I can cater to their individual needs and carefully manage their environment to help them feel safe and secure. I know how much our pets mean to us because I feel exactly the same about Roo. She’s a member of my family, and I provide every dog in my care with the same patience, kindness, respect and attention that I would want for my own pet. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your companion is in safe, experienced and caring hands.

I love to walk dogs on and off the lead depending on your preference, I have lots of different walks to take them on! I’ll come collect your dog and make sure they get the maximum out of their walks. I offer 1-1 walks where I will take your dog somewhere remote firstly I’ll come and meet your dog to establish a good connection to make sure your dog knows who I am, I will then keep them on the lead for a few walks, if I believe I have a good connection then I will take them for off lead walks whether that’s on lead of off lead, I don’t mind taking a ball or just letting them have a sniff around! I also offer house sitting, if you’re at work and worried about your pet I can come round, do some exercise in the back yard or just sit and chill with them, anything you want me to do I’ll make sure it’s done. Don’t worry I will always send pictures of your dog to make you feel better and it always gives you something to smile about whether you’re at work or on holiday My partner and I want to create our own little business and we’ve agreed it should be around the thing we love most, Dogs! We’re both off a lot due to me working shifts and my partner working opposite so there’s always someone in for our dogs and we’d love to help you out! We understand that looking after dogs isn’t easy due to life and work, we’ll make sure they’re cared for so you can relax when you’re with them. My house is great for dogs, it has a big back garden with a lot of toys and treats, we usually try and keep our dogs on a healthy diet by feeding them carrots and some fruits for treats! We make sure that our dogs are never put in a situation where they might be in danger, we would do the exact same for you!
About: Wether playful or lazy, your pet is welcome to tag along with me on my daily exercise. Me and my family have been dog sitting for years and I wanted to join in professionally. I have a clutter free home that is a safe and calm environment for your furry little friend. As I’ve grown up, I’ve rarely ever not had a pet in my house. I’ve grown a love for pets and now feel I can easily grow a bond with almost any animal. This job grants me that opportunity and I can’t wait to meet you and your pets and take great care of them! I absolutely love animals and photographing them in my free time so we can keep regular updates to ensure they are at ease.

About: I am a 28 year old girl who has grown up with dogs my entire life. I have recently moved back to the north east and cannot commit to my own dog at present due to my working hours. I have a passion for walking and often my evenings and weekends involve lengthy walks/ hikes that seem wrong without a furry friend! I have grown up around large dog breeds- such as Rottweilers, therefore I have extensive knowledge and experience walking and taking care of larger dog breeds that some other people may not be comfortable with. I work full time Monday- Friday but I am available for evening and weekend walks/ overnight care for those people that may work shifts! I am available from 4.30pm each evening and can also offer early morning services. I do not currently have any pets as i have moved away temporarily for work but it is something i am missing massively! I live in an upstairs flat with no garden but there is a small park across the road that dogs can we taken to on leads for comfort breaks, i have had my family pets stay before and this was not an issue!
“Samantha was great with Nugget. From the first meeting I could tell he would be OK with her. When I went to pick him up, it looked like he didn't want to leave. Samantha is the best if you need a weekend away. Will definitely be asking her again, if we need another weekend away”
About: Ever since my fur baby passed away last year I’ve so missed having a dog around. I love all breeds of dogs, having owned German Shepherds and previously been boarding a Cane Corso, large breeds are welcome here❤️ I work full time, however my early mornings (before 7.15am) or my evenings after 4pm are always free. I typically have a Monday off of work and free all day then, I can board dogs Sunday (after work), overnight and all day Monday. I will have more flexibility in June - being able to board for days/weeks at a time. I have an enclosed front and back garden, with the back garden having high fences, I have back patio doors to allow the dog to come freely in and out of the house. Your pet can treat my home like their home, I want them to feel comfortable with me and enjoy their time here. Whether that be snuggled up together on the sofa or giving them their own space wherever they prefer.
