Cat Sitting Northumberland

“Finding a new cat sitter can be hard however Jade made it easy and kept us updated with pictures and videos and you can tell she loves visiting the animals. Great communication which is always appreciated. Thank-you!”

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.

“Eva was great, she provided regular updates to let me know she was getting on with the cats. I have one who is very shy with strangers but Eva made sure that he was okay. Highly recommend her. Thank you so much.”

About: I’ve owned dogs since the age of 7 and have grown up around them, so caring for dogs feels very natural to me. I have plenty of experience with both dogs and puppies and understand how important routine, patience, affection, and a safe environment are for happy pets. As a busy family home, there will always be someone home to give your dog plenty of attention, company, care, and cuddles throughout the day. I’m a mum to 2-year-old twins and a 10-month-old baby, all of whom are very gentle, loving, and used to being around dogs. We’re an active household and are more than happy to take dogs on lots of walks and little adventures while they stay with us. Your dog will be treated as part of the family and given lots of love, playtime, comfort, and one-to-one attention during their stay at The Wagging Retreat 🐾 Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine as I am currently on maternity leave and at home full-time. This means dogs are never left alone for long periods and can enjoy regular feeding, toilet breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I have 2-year-old twins, so our days already include outdoor walks and time in the park, which works brilliantly for dog walks and little adventures. Nap times allow for calm bonding, grooming, and training, while evenings are relaxed and settled, making it ideal for cuddles and companionship. Overall, my schedule is flexible and home-based, allowing me to provide consistent care, supervision, and lots of love in a family environment. When caring for pets in my home, they are treated as part of the family. I have a fully fenced, newly refurbished back garden where dogs can safely go outside to toilet and get fresh air whenever needed. Because I’m at home full-time, I’m able to keep a close eye on them, maintain their usual routine, and give them lots of attention throughout the day. Dogs have regular walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles, as well as quiet time to rest. Feeding times, medication (if required), and any specific instructions from the owner are followed carefully. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine to help pets feel comfortable and settled. This includes feeding, walks, toilet breaks, playtime, and companionship, as well as keeping the home clean and secure. I always aim to provide calm, reliable, and loving care so owners feel confident their pet is happy and safe.

“My cat Victor enjoyed his visits from Celine and he is shy around new people! Celine made him at ease instantly and sent me pictures and updates and I could phone her too. We both agree Celine is the best, would highly recommend will book Celine on our next trip away.”

About: I have had many years experience with cats and dogs of all ages and varieties of health and behaviour issues. I am currently retired and looking to spend time being a cat or dog nanny whether it’s daycare, drop in visits or house sitting. I love going on walks along the beach and around the lakes, often stopping for a coffee which I would love to bring another companion along. I currently have a small shihpoo called Isla, she’s super friendly and loves having friends to join us on our adventures. I also provide lots of updates and photos of there adventures with me and will tailer care to best suit there needs. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. I’m a retired active lady who is happy to provide love, care and attention to your family pets. I have the time to give them the attention they need and deserve. I am currently looking to care for pets in your home. I am used to following strict medication and dietary requirements necessary to keep them safe and well. I provide all the love and care that they need and follow each owner’s wishes for their personal care.

About: i’ve grown up all my life with cats, i worked in a cat cafe in newcastle for nearly 2 years and helped find forever homes for each cat after the cafe closed. my older sister has two dogs, one small and one large and i often take them for walks and dog sit them! I love animals and am more than happy to meet new furry friends and take care of them whenever needed :) i currently work part time and i am off uni for the summer so besides occasional concerts i will have a lot of time to spend with your kitties/doggies. i will only ever accept to take care of them on days where i will have the whole day free to spend time with them to ensure they get the best care and attention they deserve! i want them to feel as safe as possible, i will only approach them when it’s clear they are comfortable, i go outside with them to always keep my eyes on them and i make sure they are well fed!

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.

About: I’m a veterinary student with hands-on experience caring for animals of different ages, sizes and temperaments. I have done a range of volunteering/placement at different shelters and organisations. I’m confident handling energetic dogs as well as older pets who may need extra patience and attention. Through my studies and personal experience, I understand animal behaviour, health and safety, and husbandry. I always aim to make pets feel comfortable, cared for and happy while their owners are away. I’m reliable, communicative and genuinely love spending time with animals. I am in my summer holidays of uni with few other commitments so have plenty of time to look after and play with your pets! I enjoy keeping dogs physically and mentally stimulated with games, enrichment activities and exploring local parks and new walking routes. I always adapt to each dog’s energy levels and routine so they feel comfortable and happy.

“Katie was absolutely amazing, and I'll definitely be recommending her and booking her again. Her communication was excellent throughout. She provided detailed Rover cards and always kept me up to date with any changes or concerns. She took fantastic care of Cleo and made me feel completely comfortable leaving her in Katie's care. Even though Cleo is a very shy cat, Katie was patient enough to gain her trust, and within a few days she was able to pet and play with her. When Cleo managed to get out through an upstairs window, Katie handled the situation calmly and kept me updated throughout. She followed the plan we agreed to make sure Cleo could get back inside safely, and I really appreciated how reassuring and proactive she was. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Katie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter.”

About: I’ve owned animals my whole life up until recently, after my senior pup sadly passed away! Good with puppies who need entertaining and tiring out, as well elderly pets who need a calming and more subdued presence. Looked after many of my friends pets such as cats and dogs - even my sisters tortoise! Confident with smaller animals too like hamsters and guinea pigs. Have a good inkling for training basics with puppies such as sit, wait etc. I work in the film industry and work away when I have a contract, things are very quiet at the moment so I have complete free availability to look after your pets and available at short notice for your needs! Depending on what your fur baby needs, I’ll be there! Playtime with a new young pup, someone to sit with your elderly dog and keep them company… long or short walks or someone to help with a little bit of basic training if you’re out the house all day. I’m a very easy going individual who is confident with dogs and provide the specific care they need

“Another great drop in session with my dogs.”

About: Experienced, reliable dog sitter offering loving, family-friendly care — with a calm, kid-safe environment and years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my days around walks, playtime, and feeding schedules to make sure every dog gets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I’m consistent and reliable with every pet I look after. Whether pets are staying with me or I’m visiting them in their own home, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. At my home, dogs enjoy a calm, family setting with lots of space, walks, and company from my friendly, well-behaved dog. In a pet owner’s home, I respect their routines — feeding times, walk schedules, and any special instructions — so their pets feel happy and settled while their owners are away.

“Fantastic and reliable as always”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was very young, around 7, and I’m now 19. Have much experience in walking, feeding, bathing and playing with pets. I’ve just started university in Edinburgh so have a lot of time to spend with your pets and make sure they’re very well cared for. I cannot currently house pets as I am in student accommodation however I have much experience with a 12 year old Lhasa Apso of my own and will ensure to play with and care for your pets just as well when housesitting.

“It was our first time having Elizabeth and she was brilliant. She kept us informed with photo updates too which was a bonus :). She was kind and trustworthy and will definitely book again. Thank you x”

About: I’m looking at starting my own dog walking/ pet sitting business, I’d like this to be my full time job! What I Offer: • hour long dog walks and outdoor adventures • Pick-up and drop-off included • Quiet routes available for reactive or nervous dogs • Full day dog walks, like a day care but out and about for the day since I live in a rental but want to offer this service! So I’ll come collect your pet! And take them out for the day and drop them off at a time that’s suitable for you! (Please let me know if they need a solo walk! Or if they can be in a group! ) • Cat care and drop ins, along with litter cleaning available upon request Whether your dog needs exercise, your cat needs a clean space, or your pet just needs someone who gets it, I’m here to help. Let’s give your pets the care and fun they deserve while giving you peace of mind. 💛 Little bit about me! Hi! I’m Jess, Im 22 years old and have been surrounded by animals my entire life from dogs and cats to guinea pigs, tortoises, bearded dragons, rabbits, and even chickens. Caring for a wide variety of pets has taught me how to handle them with patience, understanding, and love. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning litter trays, or creating a safe and comfortable environment, I’m happy to help. Right now, I have a rescue dog who has been very nervous and sensitive to noises so I truly understand how to work with anxious or reactive dogs. She’s come such a long way, and I’ve helped her grow more confident and calm with consistent care, training, and daily exercise. I’ve also had high-energy breeds (like german shepherds and border collies!) and know how to tailor walks and routines to fit each dog’s needs. Currently my availability is wide open! So I’d happily walk your dog or look after your pet early in the morning or later on at night! Drop in visits are also perfect for me! So I’d happily pop along and spend some time with your little one! Twice if needed! I can pick up and drop off no problem at all! If you’d be out all day I can do doggy day care for £25 however I’d be taking them out for a day trip like rothbury or forrest walks stuff like that, just because my house is a bit small and I rent but I’d like to offer this service since I have a car please get in touch tho if your interested in the doggy day care! I’d supply dog towels if it was raining or go somewhere quite sheltered also if you’d prefer me not to walk in muddy areas I can also do that! Cause I understand how bringing a muddy dog back would be a pain! When pets are in my home I try to make them as comfortable as possible! They are allowed to sit on my sofa no problem and with blankets too! With my own pets I have a set routine so they know when they are going to be fed and when going to bed since I like a routine myself! My rescues border collie likes to have her own bed so she has a cage she sleeps in at night to make her feel safe! So if your pet does to that is completely fine!
