“We were a little nervous to leave our cat for the first time and have somebody come and stay at our house while we were working away, but Corinne was so lovely. She took amazing care of our little Vinnie while we were gone and left our house lovely and clean. We would definitely have her come and stay again if we ever go away and I will definitely be recommending her to friends and family members. Thanks so much once again! :)”

About: Grown up with dogs all my life with various breeds, mostly whippets/greyhounds, but had a patterdale when I was younger. A big dog lover, often help friends & family dog sit!! I currently work local to Gosforth, and have most evening ls during the week free for walking, dog sitting!! Happy to help with dogs needs :) Have a small yard which is fenced off and can have them where I live which is safe and secure. I would be happy to go to owner’s home too.

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.

“Charlee was absolutely fantastic and my dog was completely at ease with her right from the off. I had no worries at all about leaving him and would certainly trust Charlee to house/dog sit again in future. Fantastic communication throughout too which made the whole process really easy.”

“Emily is lovely, thoughtful and the dogs adored her. We got plenty of photos and I’m sure the house was cleaner when we got back than when we left.”

Tanya L.

“Our dog is very nervous of new people and has only ever been looked after by family members but within 5 minutes of meeting Beth, Bindi was licking her hand and practically sitting on her lap. Would highly recommend Beth to anyone who wants their furbaby to be loved and cuddled.”

Jade N.

“Amy looked after my 2 babies while I went away for 2 nights, we did a meet and greet 1st, which went very well, Amy took notes on everything I was telling her, I've never left them with anyone before so I was very nervous, but as soon as I got my 1st picture I was put at ease, and enjoyed my holiday, I couldn't thank her enough, I will definitely have Amy look after my babies again, and would highly recommend her”

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.

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.

“Absolutely fantastic! Jinn was a happy boy and she kept us up to date with photos. We really appreciate it!”

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: 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.
