Our two dogs had a great stay with Sima and were very well cared for. Sima’s home environment and garden were well planned and set up for keeping the dogs safe and entertained. Sima was intuitive and responsive to our dog’s needs and we were very impressed. We will use Sima again without hesitation. Highly recommended.

Blu has had the most amazing long weekend with Georgia and her family! He was treat as one of her own pets and given so much love throughout his stay! I was kept updated all weekend with photos and videos and it was clear to see how much Blu was well cared for. I would recommend Georgia 10/10, it felt like he went from home to home and Blu cannot wait for his next stay :) thank you so so much! Xxx

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!

Beautiful house and surroundings and a really lovely couple who I would trust in a heartbeat to look after our gorgeous Dog again.

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 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

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!

Couldn’t recommend Sima highly enough! Looked after my cat for two weeks whilst we were on holiday, spending time with her petting and playing as well as feeding, changing litter and cleaning those little “accidents” that all pet owners understand! She sent regular updates and photos/videos which reassured me everything was fine at home. The house was spotless when we returned and she’d even watered my plants! Don’t hesitate, great service from a lovely friendly individual! Thanks Sima!

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: 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.

Excellent communication and images of Cooper were sent throughout the day giving updates on his play and what mischief he was getting up. Would definitely recommend Sima.

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: I’ve had animals my whole life and grew up on a farm with many dogs. I have also brought my children up around animals and have had both cats and dogs for them to grow up with. I am well versed in feeding, washing and walking dogs and love dogs of all kinds. I have most of my days free but enjoy going on morning and evening walks in the summer as well as spending time outside in the sun. My house has a large back yard and has plenty of space for dogs to roam and play. There are also many public foot paths near my house that I enjoy taking dogs for walks on.

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.

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: 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

I have quite a bit of spare time at the moment, due to being a stay at home mam. I have lots of time during the week and occasional weekend availability. I have a small yard but live very close to a big park, which is great for walks. I have two friendly Dogs at home and 3 children, so your pets will never be short of attention.

About: I’ve worked in a kennel previously and I know the love and affection dogs require when their pawrents are away and I can certainly provide that. I have also graduated from University with a degree in Animal Management so animals are a big part of my life. I am currently at uni only 1 day a week working on a degree in animal management so I have plenty of free time to walk your pooches. On walks, I prioritise your dogs needs and abilities by providing tailored sessions ensuring safe and stimulating environments. Each dogs temperament and fitness level is considered when going out on walks. I focus on their safety and enjoyment whilst providing a stress free environment.

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: 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.

Our dog Ludo had such a lovely time he was loathe to leave. We felt so comfortable leaving him with this lovely family who clearly adore animals. It was our first time using Rover as we’d left it too late to book our usual Kennels and I have to say, I don’t think we’ll be going back to kennels again. Jacqueline and her family made such an amazing impression with us that we hope they’ll welcome Ludo again. I can’t recommend highly enough 😊

As first time pet owners we were very nervous to leave her. We had an emergency trip down the country and the hotel could not accommodate her. Abigail was absolutely amazing, short notice and all she was great. Can’t thank her enough and she will be our go to from now on if we ever need to leave her again. We were unsure if she would get on with the other cats or be scared of the dog but Abigail sent photos of her making herself well and truly at home and enjoying socialising with other animals, can’t thank her enough
