Dog Walking in Northumberland

“Amy stepped in at short notice to walk Floyd whilst he stayed with my mam as I had been let down by my dog boarder. She was super friendly, always on time and Floyd loved her! She kept in touch daily sending pictures and videos. Fab would 100% recommend.”

About: I treat every pet as if they were my best friend. I treat every pet with patience, warmth and attention to their unique routines and personalities and needs. Pet care isnt just something i squeeze in. It's a central part of my day. I plan my schedule around pet visits and walks to make sure every animal gets my full attention as best as I can. 🏠 In-Home During the day sitting Responsibilities: Safe environment: Ensure your home is pet-proofed (e.g., no hazardous plants, chemicals, or escape routes). Routine maintenance: Feed, walk, play, and administer medications as directed. Comfort and enrichment: Provide companionship, toys, and activities to prevent boredom or anxiety. Cleanliness: Clean up waste promptly, wash bowls, and maintain a hygienic environment. Considerations: Compatibility with your pets (if any). Adequate space and a quiet area for the pet to rest. Emergency contact and vet info on hand. 🏡 Drop-In Visits (You go to the pet owner's home briefly) Responsibilities: Feeding and water refresh: Follow the feeding schedule precisely. Bathroom needs: Let dogs out or clean litter boxes/cages. Medication: Administer as instructed - Tablets given Basic play and affection: Give attention and stimulation. House tasks (optional): Bring in mail, water plants, or adjust lights/curtains to maintain the home’s routine. Considerations: Stick to the pet’s schedule as much as possible. Report any unusual behavior or issues to the owner promptly. All standard drop-in duties Companionship: Help reduce pet anxiety, especially for dogs prone to separation anxiety. Security: Provide presence in the home, reducing risk of break-ins. Maintain routine: Follow the pet’s regular daily routine closely. Considerations: Respect the owner’s home—clean up after yourself and the pet. Be clear on house rules (e.g., bed access, guest policies). Ensure you know how to operate security systems and access emergency contacts. 🐶🧼 Additional Services (Walks, play and drop ins and feeding ) These may be add-ons or stand-alone services: Walks: Ensure leash safety, avoid dog parks unless allowed, and adjust pace to the pet's needs Training reinforcement: Use commands and methods agreed upon with the owner.

“Nicole and jack kindly arranged a meet and greet with us before the walk. After being very anxious about finding a new dog walker they were very understanding and took all of the dogs needs and any concerns of ours onboard. We were kept updated and provided with report, recorded map of the walk and photos. Thank you ☺️”

About: Hi my name is Jade and I’m a massive animal lover. I adore dogs and have lots of experience of caring for dogs, both my own as well as my family and friends pets. I often become friends with dogs whenever I go - if that’s during work visits, holidays, walking trips etc. I own a dog myself called Bear who is my best friend. I lead an active lifestyle with me and Bear going on many adventures together, I live close to a large park and there are lots of local walking routes I.e riverside, beach, lakes and woods in the town I live in. I work for home meaning I’m able to spend time with your pet during the daytime, my work colleagues are used to seeing dogs appear during virtual video calls 🐾 I live on my own in a spacious two bed maisonette with access to my own private garden. Your pet will be treated as an extended family member during their stays with me, with regular photos and updates. I hope to hear from you soon I often start my day with a walk around the park with Bear, before I start working virtually at home. I will break midday and go on another walk around the park, alongside letting Bear out into the garden during the day time in between my virtual meetings. In the evening I will often take Bear to the beach in the next town over from where I live and go to the gym. My home is a clean and tidy environment where dogs are welcome to make themselves at home. Bear and his four legged visitors are allowed on my sofa and can sleep in my bed. The dogs get lots of attention, play time (Bear is a keen fan of fetch throughout the day) and cuddles.

“Really good service, Very quick to respond to bookings and fantastic with last minute requests.”

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.

“Bear loves Kay who always makes a fuss of him and his walkies with her 🐾🩵”

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 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 was out for the full 30 minutes and came back with the biggest smile on her face! Chelsea is incredible, she filled me with so much confidence in her ability to handle Nelly and she was friendly, kind and really sweet with Nelly. Thank you!”

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 have owned two dogs, one who now lives with my mam, and the other who I part share with my dad. I am dog obsessed with lots of love, cuddles and time to give. I view my house as porters house (my dog, a gorgeous miniature labrodoodle) and I just live in it. I work from home so I am always in. Due to this I've found myself pet sitting for friends and family for the last 2 years and I love it! I walk porter twice a day, one in the morning and one in the evening for an hour each time, and every weekend I try to take him on different walks to spice things up a bit. I am fortunate living in Morpeth as there are a lot of fantastic walks near by, from rolling coastlines to woodlands, all can be tailored to longer or shorter walks depending on your dog's needs. I have Porter Monday - Thursday, but often this might carry on over the weekend. He goes to his own day care on Thursdays (more so for the social aspect of it). He is very friendly, 4 years old and neutered. He is very used to sharing his home, and is not jealous or territorial. He shares his toys, bed, food very easily and loves a play, but is also happy snuggling up on the sofa. I would love to own more dogs, so I feel like dog sitting is a perfect in between! I love to take photos of all the fur babies, so I will provide daily updates on how yours is getting on. I live with my fiance James, who dare I say is more obsessed with dogs than me, however I will be the primary care taker of the dogs. We would love to open our door and welcome your four legged fur baby into our homes, where it will received a lot of love, attention, play time and walks. I work from home and very rarely have to travel or be out for work. At most I may be out the house for two hours at a time to attend a meeting, but this happens maybe once every 3 weeks, so I really am in a lot of the time. I have my own dog who I part share with my parents, so I already do a morning and evening walk during the week. Our home is full of love, cuddles, dog toys and treats for yours to enjoy. Dogs will have free rein of the house, we allow pets on every bit of furniture, upstairs and downstairs. Its their house I just live in it. I am available all week for dog sitting, check ins and walks if needed. I can provide boarding week day or weekends if available. I have a fenced garden where your dogs can enjoy our garden. Most of the time I have porter here, a miniature labrodoodle (although he is not that miniature). He is very friendly and very happy to share. He loves a chase and a play so your pups will be very entertained. However, if a dog is tried or just not interested he understands and is very happy to leave them alone. I have experience walking a reactive dog on a lead so comfortable doing this. I am happy to help with potty training and crate training.

About: I have always had dogs in my family up until recently unfortunately and have a lot of love to share with your dogs whether that be on long walks or staying overnight at my house I work full time hours. However I work a mix of midday working and nightshifts so I can be flexible for care. I will constantly update my availability I have a three bedroom house with a fenced back garden which is only used for the street parking. Completely safe environment and plenty of room for your dog inside my home

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.

“Fantastic service Thankyou.”

My dedicated focus ensures that I can give each pet ample time and attention, making sure they are well-cared for and happy throughout the day. In both my home and a pet owner's home, safety, trust, and creating a nurturing environment are paramount. My home features a spacious, fenced garden where dogs can safely play and explore under supervision. Additionally, my own playful puppy provides added companionship and playtime for visiting pets. Whether boarding at my place or caring for them in their own home, I prioritise their comfort and well-being by following routines, providing ample play opportunities, and maintaining clear communication with pet owners to ensure their peace of mind.
