Cat Sitting in Northumberland

“I cant recommend Jade highly enough. She was absolutely amazing with bubbles and he adored her. She kept me up to date with photos and videos of his little antics which really put my mind at rest. Nothing was too much trouble and she completely understood how much your pet means to you and how much you worry about them when your away. Will definitely be using Jade again.”

About: Me and my husband currently have two female dogs - a Labragotto and a Dalmatian They both love to play with other dogs and are very friendly with everyone. When I leave my pets in the hands of someone else, I expect them to receive a home-from-home experience. I therefore will do the same for any pets that I care for! I will also tailor the needs for each pet according to their owners wishes. For example, I allow my pets on the furniture but if you would prefer for your pet to not be on the furniture we can amend our lifestyle to suit that! I have always been around animals growing up, I looked after my two family dogs, horses, a cat, rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters! My husband is also well versed with animals, having grown up with a dog and a cat! 🐈‍⬛ I am a student midwife and so I am not working right now which means I have all the time to spend with four-legged friends 🐾 My husband works from home, so we are both on hand for separate walk routines if needed. Our dogs require a lot of exercise, we aim to walk at least 3 times a day but we can make adjustments accordingly for dogs with various fitness requirements! I have an unfenced garden but can but can put up temporary fencing. For toilet breaks I tend to put my dogs on leads to take them out anyways which helps their lead training. The house is fully safety proofed with no hazards. There is always someone home so your pet will never be left on their own.

“Hayley was excellent. She provided great care to our cat Pepsi and regular updates to us for peace of mind.”

About: Studied animal management, agricultural management, agricultural sciences and ornithological sciences. I’ve worked on farms for years as a relief milker, whilst volunteering and helping train students studying and volunteering at pets corner. I’ve pet sat for years for family and friends. I work a Saturday night shift a week welding and I’m free the rest of the time. I’ve my own vehicle and I’m out n about with doggos country, coast and woodland walks I have a fenced off private garden to the rear of my 3 bed property I live alone with a 14 YO Brussels griffin he’s a happy little guy and full of life for such an old doggo and the friendliest little sausage. I have access around area to lovely walks locally and for variety I get them in the car to walk coastal or country walks, whilst out I prefer keeping doggos on leash at all times until trust and recalls fully established (or if instructed to do so by owners). Whether providing home visits, house sitting or care at my own home I stick to individuals routines as best I can. If your dogs best walked alone I can offer this also I understand some dogs just like people don’t get along with everyone but I prefer transparency from owners so I can adapt care to your dogs specific needs.

About: I have grown up around dogs for the majority of my life and so I am very comfortable in their company! My family dog is a 5 year old boxer dog called Solomon, who I looked after as a young puppy very regularly and so I understand the level of care and attention that dogs can require! I also regularly dog sit for my sister who has a golden retriever named crumpet, therefore I am happy attending to larger dog breeds. I live near the coast and multiple parks and woodlands which is perfect for long walks to help tire them out! I also work flexible hours so I am happy to try and make adjustments in certain circumstances if necessary I work flexible hours, I usually work 7am-3pm but this can be adjusted if needed. I do not have any kids and so my weekends are mostly free as I only own cats which can be left during the day. I am very attentive to an animals needs due to having experience with both dogs and cats, so rest assured your animal will be in very good hands. I am also happy to send any pictures and videos over whilst the animals are in my care just for peace of mind if you miss your pets as much as I do! I am extremely clean and tidy and dogs are also welcome in my car if needed for longer walks out.

“Chelsea was brilliant. The photos and videos of my dog when she was dogsitting showed how happy he was with her, which made relax. I came home to a very relaxed and hapoy dog. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was little, I am confident with all dog breeds and temperaments. I have also worked at a doggy daycare center as part of work experience so I am able to clean up, feed and walk dogs. I am currently working flexible hours so preferably weekends or mornings/evenings in the week but I am flexible to accommodate my clients and their needs. I used to own a springer spaniel but I now own a cocker spaniel, I always take her out on walks, feed her a few times a day, sometimes wash her and ensure she is happy and comfortable.

“Would definitely recommend Charlotte's services. Quickly earned the trust of my cat and clearly taken care of her during my absence as well as I'd hope for.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life and I am currently studying animal care in college so I am able to carry out care for pets to a high standard and I have also received qualifications in this sector. I am able to do this morning and night between 6-8am and 6-10pm on weekdays due to college and other responsibilities and 6-8am and 2-8pm on weekends due to working. Feeding, grooming, watering, walking. I do this on a daily basis due to having pets of my own, and I have done this for many years.

About: I have lots of experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments, including rescue dogs and those who are reactive or anxious. I’ve offered dog walking and sitting services for several years and have worked with everything from high-energy pups to older dogs who prefer a slower pace. I always take the time to understand each dog’s individual needs and personality, and I’m calm, confident and patient in any situation. I’ll follow your guidance closely, keep you updated, and make sure your dog feels safe, happy and well cared for every step of the way. I’m currently not working, so I’m available seven days a week, at any time that suits you. I can offer up to two visits a day, whether that’s for dog walks, cat cuddles or both. I’m happy to fit around your schedule and your pet’s routine, and I’m always reliable, calm and gentle with animals of all kinds. When caring for pets in their own home, I always prioritise their comfort, safety and routine. I follow any instructions carefully, keep things clean and secure, and make sure your pet feels safe and relaxed while you're away. I never rush visits and take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious animals. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I’d want for my own.

About: I've loved dogs since I was little. I've had two of my own, a Cavalier King Charles and a Labrador. I have experience walking dogs, since I helped with my daughter's dog walking business, walking dogs of many breeds and sizes. I am always kind and will look after your dogs as if they were my own. I'm currently just doing one dog walk on weekdays, so I am available to walk your dogs as well. I will walk them from your residence and take great care to keep them safe and happy. I always vary routes, so it isn't the same walk every time. I always scoop and dispose of the bag responsibly. I can pet sit your pets in your home. I will look after them, and your home, as carefully as you do. I'll walk your dogs every day as well, of course. If there are any special requirements, like medication, for example, I will make sure I follow your instructions. I'll keep you up to date with photos and messages so you can see your pets are comfortable and happy.

About: I grew up with three cats and two dogs. I have a 1 year old lab called Nelly who is the most excited little thing! I’m very used to dogs being strong on the lead! I have experience with reactive dogs as well as puppies, friendly dogs and dogs with specific dietary requirements. I am very experienced in taking dogs on wonderful adventures, hiking, playing in the park or going on a quick walk on lead. I understand how nerve wracking it can be leaving your furry friend with a new person, which is why I can guarantee that I will treat your pet and home with the utmost respect and care. I currently work as a teaching assistant so am free in all summer holidays and half terms. I am also available to look after your pets in the afternoons and weekends during term time. I currently don’t offer boarding at my own home but I do offer home sitting and drop in services. When looking after your pet I use the upmost care and respect when in your home. I give your pets the care they need whilst looking after your home. I leave everything clean and tidy and exactly how it was left. My top priority is that your furry friend is comfortable in their own environment with someone there to look after them and keep them fed.

“Nelly seems to have loved her walks. Nicole kept us up to date with photos and a map of her walk. I feel really comfortable leaving Nelly with Nicole! Thank you!”

About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats from when I was very small and continue to have furry companions of my own in my adult life, who just make my life a little bit more complete. I have experience with cats of all types and ages, ranging from kittens who were rescued after being separated from their mother too early, to elderly cats with kidney problems and urinary incontinence. I am also experienced in grooming and in giving both oral and injected medications to cats. I have prior experience in volunteering at an animal shelter as both a cat/dog groomer, cat companion and dog walker. While cats are my first love, I absolutely adore the energy and excitability of dogs, and regularly enjoy going out for walks and adventures with a furry companion. I have experience with German Shepherds and other large dog breeds, having trained my own from puppies and later looked after them in old age. I have also had experience in caring for a elderly dog with dementia, and his associated behavioral issues. I am comfortable with dogs who require a little bit of extra attention and may require some simple training and/or behavioral grooming. I am a qualified paramedic and so have a varied schedule, however my Rover calendar will always be up to date months in advance - please take a look to see my availability :) I am unfortunately unable to care for additional cats/dogs in my own home as that is my pets' space and sanctuary. But I am available to assist with caring for pets in their own home, which I find is often the least distressing for them too. I am comfortable with sticking to feeding routines, adhering to special diets, ensuring the animal is stimulated and gets to burn off some energy with walks and/or playtime, and cleaning up after them.

My home is free to roam on the ground floor and supervised upstairs. Upstairs is gated off. I'm at home 24/7 mostly so dogs have company from myself and also with my own two dogs.

“It was effortless to book Amy. We've never used this service before. I was amazed how simple it was. Fortunately, Amy was available, and although I was apprehensive due to the strength and size of our 1 year old Labrador, Amy wasn't phased at all. I'd have no second thoughts as to booking Amy's expertise again.”

About: I have grown up around dogs and had my own since I was 18 and left home. I currently have just two puppies , a mini Doxie and a Weimaraner so one very little and one very big. They are both super socialised and will be in with your pets unless you provide a crate for them to be split. I work part time , from home and that’s 3 days a week so it may be that I work 8-5 while looking after your pet if it’s a week day but I live with my partner and she only works nights (so she can look after during the day) I do not work weekends I have a fenced front garden and a walled rear yard , I have cctv and ring door cameras. I have 2 dogs and a cat of my own but the cat just sleeps on my bed !
