Cat Sitting in 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: Animals are my absolute passion. I’ve spent my life surrounded by pets, and I spent 6 months working in a veterinary clinic as a trainee veterinary nurse. While I chose not to complete the full qualification, the intensive, hands-on experience I gained was invaluable. I am incredibly comfortable handling animals of all temperaments, recognising subtle signs of illness or discomfort, administering medication if required, and maintaining a safe environment. If your pet needs an extra attentive eye or a calm, confident handler, they are in safe hands with me. Personal Pet Care Experience: My personal life is just as animal-focused! My experience includes: Dogs: I have years of experience walking and caring for my parents' energetic Labrador, so I'm well-versed in the needs of larger, active breeds. I completed a series of obedience training courses with him when he was a pup. Cats: I have two cats at home who are my whole world; I understand cat care, play, and respecting boundaries for more aloof cats! Small/Farm Animals: I also care for three rescue, ex-battery chickens who live out their retirement in my garden. I have a soft spot for rescues and don't mind getting my hands dirty! I had a rabbit when I was a kid who lived to the ripe old age of 10. I'm currently self employed, working no more than 1 day a week and exclusively from home. I'm available at short notice and happy to fit my client work around looking after your family members. I have 2 cats and 3 chickens at home, so home boarding would only be something I could offer for the right animal. In your home however, I am respectful, clean, and tidy - the safety of your animal is my top priority. As I have 2 house cats, double checking doors and windows are shut is always on my mind! I'm very active but happy to adjust activity levels to the needs of your pet, I'm a huge animal lover and seeing a happy animal is the ultimate reward!

“Another great drop in session with my dogs.”

“Brilliant sitter, very good communication and very reassuring. I will be using Beth exclusively from now on. 100% recommend. She was extremely accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure my girls were well looked after!”

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 absolutely love animals especially dogs, me and my little border terrier Maggie go on so many wonderful adventures. I love being outdoors and exploring rain or shine. I currently work full time, however my days are broken up with lots of gaps in my working day, which is the perfect opportunity to have some fun adventures to break up my day. I have a fenced garden and 1 boarder terrier dog of my own. She is super friendly and loves to play and explore new places.

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.

About: I absolutely love dogs and have grown up with them in my family for many years. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life, from daily walks and feeding to playtime and lots of affection. I now have my own dog, Otis, who is 1 year old, so I understand how important it is for owners to feel their pet is safe, happy and well cared for. I’m comfortable with different breeds, energetic dogs that love long walks, and giving plenty of attention and cuddles. I will always treat every dog as if they were my own. My partner works away regularly meaning it is just me and Otis most days! We need extra cuddles and fun especially on weekends. I work a hybrid job mid-week, which means I’m home a lot and able to give dogs plenty of attention, company and regular walks throughout the day. Weekends are also perfect as I have lots of free time to dedicate to pet care. I love getting outdoors with my dog Otis and exploring all the beautiful walks around Northumberland. Your dog will enjoy plenty of exercise, fresh air and adventures while staying with me. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I have my own friendly 1-year-old dog, Otis, who loves the company of other dogs and is used to regular walks and playtime. I always follow each dog’s usual routine for feeding, exercise and rest to help them feel settled and relaxed. I provide a calm, loving environment and will send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your dog is happy and well cared for.

About: I feel like i was a cat in a previous life. They mean everything to me. I have had cats & dogs all of my life and iv worked in a cat rescue centre which i Absolutely LOVED !! Caring for your pets while your away is my number 1 priority. Not only will i feed & clean. I love to spend some special one on one time with them so when i leave your home, they feel are relaxed and happy. I am self employed so i am able to fit my personal work and my pet care work into a schedule to suit everyones needs. I am an excellent treat giver & cuddler. Your pets will be loved asif they were my own when they are in my care. Let in/out, clean bowls, feed and fresh water, clean any mess, brush, cuddles, fuss and playtime, clean litter tray and any other duties. All surfaces and items touched, will be sanitised and cleaned before we leave. Taking your pooches for walks will be full of fun and tail waggles. We are fully insured, DBS checked and pet first aid trained.

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.

“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’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

About: I treat your furbabies like my own! With years of experience having my own pets and family pets, I know different breeds needs and will cater to whatever they need I work 5 days a week mostly in school hours, but can do outside of school hours if needed Monday until Friday at any hours you need for your furbabies, and will treat them like my own! I do solo and group walks I can drop in, play, feed or clean litter trays for cats or puppy’s! I do half an hour or hour walks or longer if needed depending on your furbaby and will treat them like my very own

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: 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.

About: I have had dogs and cats in my home since I was a small child alongside guinea -pigs, rabbits and chinchillas. Since living on my own (10yeard) I have had recue cats in my home and often looked after friends and family's animals by house sitting or walking them. For the last 2 years I have fostered dogs from the Charity Dogs Trust and have had basic training in grooming, giving medication and basic behavioural recognisition. I am most experienced with reactive dogs and those with anxiety. I currently work from home and only recently moved to Newcastle, so I am looking to have some companionship and floofy cuddles during the day. Plus living near whitley bay means loads of beach side walks and what better friend then a doggo to take with me. I have a fenced in garden and no other pets currently so your fur baby will have a safe, quiet environment. I do have a crate if needed but usually let the floors on the sofa or in a Doggy bed. I drive so can pop into your home to pick up a pet if needed for walks or check ins. My neighbours don't have dogs either so reactive dogs should be happy too.

“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: Your dog would be staying in our home with myself, my partner & our dog, Luper 🦮 We only board one dog at a time (could consider multiple if from the same family) Your dog can have its own sleeping & eating quarters if required in our dining room. I have had dogs since a child. In my 20’s I had 2 Huskies who have now sadly passed over the rainbow bridge 🌈 🐺 As a dog mum myself, I know how hard it is to find the right sitter for your baby, so I wanted to join the dog sitting space to help other owners go on holiday and feel relaxed knowing their pooch is in caring hands. • comfortable and confident with training and taking care of dogs of all breeds, sizes & ages • Puppies welcome • We will always need to do a meet & greet beforehand • You will get updates of your dog whilst away • We have plenty of places to go for on walks where we live, and we like to venture out and about on the weekend if your dog likes that • Access to a secure enclosed field for extra cost if required 🩶 I love senior dogs however it is probably not suitable for us to board if your older dog has any injuries or joint problems due to us having a young playful big soft dafty! Any questions please ask. 🦮 Luper is a kind-natured friendly dog. He loves to play & tumble & is good at respecting other dogs' boundaries. 💚 If you have a friendly, well-mannered, happy-go-lucky dog who needs a home-from-home stay whilst you're away, we would LOVE to look after them. 🤗 They are allowed on the sofa and can sleep with us in the bedroom / on the bed if they want or need to 😊 Childfree home. As I work from home your dog will have company throughout most of the day every. I will send you lots of pupdates if you want 📸 • Secure fenced gardens. • Space for your dog to have its own bedroom downstairs if needed with room for a large crate - but they are more welcome upstairs with us & our dog. • Only left alone for 4 hours max per day (if that) (will be separated when left) • Indoor live camera to watch dogs • I will only walk your dog on a leash. They will not be let off leash (unless in secure field*) which is my preference to ensure the safety of your dog in my care. • Access to secure private field** for small fee £7-30mins or £12-60mins. ** Pully dogs will have to have this included in their package as I will not walk overly pully dogs to protect both dogs and myself* *** We will require your vet's name, details, and an emergency contact.

“Used Louise to look after our elderly cat. We were hesitant at first, as he has never been looked after by anyone else before. But Louise kept us reassured through the whole process, sending us updates and pictures. Would highly recommend!”

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!
