Dog Walking in Northumberland

“I strongly recommend Michael, just wish he did childcare too! He is supper flexible, professional an friendly. Ziggy is deaf and can be a handful but Michael manages her really well with sign language. He has been a great help in giving advice about helping with her anxiety. He collects and does day care too - so just what we need. A safe familiar place and person. So pleased.”

About: Been around dogs most of my life:) Cared for a range including Golden retrievers, Cavapoos, Huskies, Malamutes, Border Collies, Daschunds, Pugs & Frenchies. Now that I live in England, I really miss having doggy company and would love the chance to care for and spoil some pups again! I can work from home and my hours are flexible to work around the pups needs when doing so! Plus I already require daily walks myself 😆 I’m afraid I can’t commit to open ended repeat walks/visits as availability fluctuates so requests would require an end date. Also for bookings much further away I may need to add a couple quid to the rate just to cover my travel (as Rover takes a fair bit!) but that can be discussed on a case by case basis :) I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or staying at your home, I’ll stick to their usual routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they’re well cared for. On walks, I keep things safe and go at their pace. My goal is to make sure your pet feels relaxed and loved until you’re back, tailoring to their individual needs! For stays in my own home, I should note that I have a housemate so it wouldn’t just be me around the dog.

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’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 been around dogs my whole life, since I was just about able to walk actually. My family, both immediate and extended, has always kept dogs and I've always made it my mission to have a good rapport with them. I'm passionate about their care and making sure they're well looked after. I have a fully enclosed garden and live 5 minutes away from Cramlington nature reserve and some wide open fields below the hospital. We're big fans of enrichment games and general playing if your dog likes it. I do understand however, that every dog is unique and some may just want to chill out on their own. Please let me know as much information as you can give about your pet and their unique personality, likes, dislikes etc. I have experience with anxious dogs and trigger issues, as my own Springer, Bailey, is an anxious lad and has various triggers when outside in the world, so I've learned a lot firsthand with him. He is a great house dog, just the world is very overwhelming for him at times. I'm currently between jobs, so I am totally free to take care of and devote all my attention to your best friend as long as they are in my care. I have a totally enclosed garden and live very close to Cramlington Nature Reserve and a multitude of other walking paths. They will be entirely free to roam the house as they please, sit on the sofas or lounge in the garden (weather permitting, of course). They will be treated as my own when in my care. Plenty of enrichment games, be it a snuffle mat, folded up kitchen roll tubes to shred etc.

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!

“Tammy got to know my chihuahua over 3 days, spending time with her and taking her for walks, as an anxious girl Tammy was patient with her, gaining her trust. I got some lovely photos too. Thanks for taking such good care of my girl 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!

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’m a final year vet student (about to graduate) who has had 7 years of experience both in vet practices and in pre-clinical placements such as dog walking and boarding. This means I have plenty of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats! I am at home for the summer after finishing 5 years at vet school! I will be free during the days and evenings to take the best care of your pet :) I am happy and willing to comply with requests and considerations you might need to keep your pet happy and safe! I am careful and will always make sure your pet is happy and healthy.

About: A highly reliably, friendly dog walker who will keep u updated with your wee chooches adventures! And open to negations on price depending on the circumstances of the walk and your pooches needs :) As a family we owned a kennels and catery so I was brought up around dogs/cats . As such I am very accustomed to caring and dog sitting all sizes, temperaments and ages. Starting with my sisters dogs and then gradually other peoples. I am also highly experienced in navigating dogs with conditions like being deaf, blindness and eating disorders. Growing up I also had 11 dogs, some of which were fostered for charities, some rescued from shelters/Romania and some adopted, all of which I would help look after in all nessary duties. I am also a huge walker and outdoorsy person so I’m probably your go to if a 3 hour walk is what you’re needing, for a more active dog say, a huskie or collie for example. Equally I’ve dog sat more relaxed dogs such as a pug who’d rather just chill, so can work to the needs of your beautful pooch :) I am currently working part-time on Thursday to Saturday so have a lot of flexibility to dog sit and walk your dogs both day or night :) If you are looking for a time on Thursday->saturday don’t worry though, I can walk after work from 6pm onward if needed ( I love walking! ) I’m also free to house sit anytime as long as it does not proceed 2 evenings. I’m very organised so need to cancel and reschedule? Absolutely no bother? I am fortunate to be flexible with when I can offer dog walking so just let me know what works for u! I cannot look after cats in my own home just due to my partners allergies but would be sure to cater to your cats every need. I have had many friends and family with cats so although I’ve not had one of my own I am eager to learn of their routines and needs and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention :)

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’ve had the joy of owning and caring for a family dog for the past 16 years. After recently losing him, I’d love to spend time around animals again and give that same love and attention to other pets. I’m patient, caring, and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I currently work full-time, Tuesday- Friday 8am-6pm. I am available outside of these hours in the and have full availability on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I can be flexible outside of my working hours and will always make time to give your pet the attention and care they need. We live on 0.7 acres of land with no nearby neighbours, providing a calm and private environment for your pet. Our garden is fenced, and although there are no gates on the driveway, dogs will always be fully supervised when outside to ensure their safety. I also have direct access to Ponteland Park on my doorstep, offering plenty of space and variety for enjoyable walks. Your pet will be cared for in a safe, attentive, and loving environment at all times.

About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs since I was a young child. I grew up with collies, lab and staffie mixes, and rescue cats. I currently have a very dog friendly cat if you are looking for some socialisation, but she is equally happy doing her own thing if you would prefer they remain separate. I work from home with access to a secure garden, and woodland walks only a couple of minutes from my house. I'm available all days, evenings and weekends with notice. I have a pet cat who is friendly with dogs, however she has her own secure room in the house where she can retreat to if she needs to. I have a fenced garden and a dog-friendly cat, however she can be secured away in a different part of the house if necessary. I have a crate that can be used if necessary. I drive and I am located within easy reach of several 24 hour veterinary practices.

About: I have 2 years of experience as a degree level lecturer teaching canine and feline behaviour, welfare, husbandry and Training. In addition to this, I have a First class honours degree in Canine and Feline Behaviour and Welfare and have had pets since I was born, growing up with dogs, cats, hamsters and rabbits. I began working in the animal industry at 16 in aquariums and zoos and took my first step into caring for dogs professionally through helping my sister open a dog day care in the North East. Since then, I have gone to university, have achieved a 1st in my Bsc (hons) Degree in Canine and Feline behaviour and welfare, immediately progressed to teaching the very degree I just completed for the last 2 years and intend on spending my career helping dogs and owners to lead happy and fulfilling lives. I can train puppies and adult dogs using various techniques including: obedience, life skills, behavioural modification and scent training. Which means I can continue any ongoing training following your existing training plan. All training and husbandry is only done using positive based techniques (I do not use aversive based training). Currently I am still working as a lecturer until September. So I am only available Friday- Monday until September 4th. Should you attain my services I will be at the property full-time. So you do not need to worry about your dog being left alone. The only time your pets will be alone is if I need to go to the shop to buy food. Good relationships with a dog and parents are based on high levels of kindness and understanding. Any pet in my care will always be treated like family, where there are no limits to what you would do to give them their best life. In addition, any "house rules" or requirements will be strictly followed including pet care/lifestyle and living arrangements.
