Corinne took care of our puppy well and was really respectful of our home and guidance for training Lily. She’s a lively puppy and it was the first time we were leaving her so it was made much easier by Corinne’s updates and photos.

Maria was punctual, and has good communication. This was the first time we have left our greyhound with a stranger and he took to Maria immediately. We will be booking again.

About: Fully licensed and insured ‼️ Hi, my name is Caitlin and I’m a massive animal lover! 🐾🦴🐶🎾 I have had many years of experience looking after dogs, from fostering for many years or looking after family and friends dogs. I have my own little dog reggie who is my absolute fur baby. Reggie is a 2yr old Cavapoo and an absolute smushie boy. I love walks on the field around our house and around the local park. I often meet up with my partners sister who has a gentle cockapoo to go on doggie ventures. I’m currently a stay at home mam, i previously worked for the NHS but I’m taking time off from work to enjoy family life, with plenty of time to give so your pet will be well looked after and will never be left on there own. I have a large garden at home full of toys and a paddly pool perfect for dogs to enjoy. 🏖️ I live in a spacious 3 bedroom house with a large private enclosed garden and two young kids. 🏡 I also live near forests, beaches and river walks so there’s lots of dog friendly places to visit. ☀️⛱️ Your dog will be treated with care and affection and as part of the family during their stays with me, with regular photos and updates provided at a time that suits you. I hope you choose me to look after your pet and i hear from you soon. I have 2 young kids so we start the day early I’m at home everyday which is great as i go out everyday with our little dog reggie there’s lots of dog friendly cafes and walks. I would love another doggy to join us! I have a large enclosed garden full of toys and a paddly pool which dogs absolutely love splashing about in, they will always have company and someone to play with.

About: I love looking after dogs and am always the go to dog sitter out of all my friends. I have been a dog owner myself, and love caring for dogs. I love all animals, and I'm happy to do drop-ins for any type of animal - other than spiders, I'm terrified of them! I work full time from home so will have lots of availability to support during the week and I am around on some weekends too. I have a fenced garden that is very secure so the dogs will have lots of opportunity to go outside. Adult only home with no other animals.

Lucy stayed at my home and looked after my two dogs while I went away. She was amazing and kept me updated on how things were going and answered messages quickly. I would definitely recommend Lucy to anyone. She is amazing. Thank you so much.

About: I have taken care of mainly dogs, and temporarily cats too (they adopted me haha!). I had looked after small - medium - big sized dogs. Longest period is caring for a medium sized Cocker spaniel for 10 years before she passed away from cancer. The biggest breed I have looked after is a Rottweiler much heavier than me. He's the sweetest baby I love him so much! I am naturally patient with animals and have an overflow of love to give to these beautiful souls! Your family is safe and happy with me ❤️ I'm working part time 80%. Most available on weekends and Mondays. (For any service except boarding) Partly available on Wednesdays so can consider drop in visits/ walks on the day. I am available most (if not all) holidays so you will feel utter relief to have me care for your beloved family if and when you want to get away! :) I am most available around Seaton Burn, secondly Gateshead so we can get to each other faster if you're around these areas. I have a car which helps in getting around. My day job is working as a GP if it helps! I'm fully DBS checked, with up-to-date safeguarding training. Not a vet but my profession is all about optimising care and safety, meeting my client's needs and minimising risk! 💯 I have numerous experiences looking after pets at home, whether mine or someone else's home. I have great situational awareness when doing walks in outdoor settings. I don't mind any breed really. That's why I'm doing this! (As I can't have all breeds) ♥️ The heaviest breed I have cared for and walked is a rottweiler over 65kg+. So I genuinely don't mind larger dogs. Of course it also depends on the temperament of the dog and the bond we have on meet and greet. At the moment I'm not providing boarding service on my profile as I'm renting, but this may change depending on what kind of pets you're needing care for. Just contact me to discuss :)

About: I have a beautiful Labrador called Rex and my whole family have dogs! Love getting out on walks and would treat any dog as part of the family. I currently own a gorgeous black Labrador called Rex, I do share him 5 weeks at a time with my ex partner so when he is gone I miss his company and the walks! It is just me at home with no other pets or children. I’m free most nights and weekends! I Am available for holidays/weekend stays if well in advance My lab is sometimes lead reactive when meeting new dogs so I am very limited to caring for dogs when I have Rex, unless we arrange to meet and the dogs got used to each other over time I do work full time Monday-Friday, so can discuss daily arrangements to suit you. I have a fenced yard and fenced garden to keep dogs safe. I live local to a park for some lovely walks. Happy for them to be a part of the family when staying with me and can sleep where ever they’re comfortable!

About: My husband and I have had pets our entire life, so caring for animals truly comes naturally to us. Although we sadly no longer have our own dog, our love for animals hasn’t changed – and we now have a warm, welcoming home ready to help other families by caring for their dogs and cats when they need it most. I work from home so no pets will be left on their own. Your pet will be part of our routine at all times unless otherwise specified by you as an owner. Our home is very much a home-from-home environment, where pets are treated as part of the family. We have a gentle and animal-loving 2-year-old who absolutely adores pets and has grown up around them, so kindness and respect for animals is something we value deeply in our household. We also have plenty of pets within our wider family, so animals are always part of our lives.

Caitlin was a fantastic sitter who looked after our dog for a weekend in our home. This was the first time we had left our dog with a sitter and Caitlin put our minds at rest that she was in good hands! Caitlin came around to our house before the booking to meet Daisy. Caitlin was very flexible and was able to work around our requirements.

Excellent sitter. Took the time to come and meet me and Blue my German Shorthaired Pointer before the sit and then was very communicative throughout the sit and very patient with Blue’s naughtiness! Would definitely book Ben again and will recommend him to friends.

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: Both of us have lived with varied dog breeds our whole lives, these pets are more like siblings to us and are always the focus of our attention whether we’re in or out the house! We can guarantee your loved one is in caring hands they’ll not want the sitting to be over! We do work full time but very flexible times and have the ability to work from home where necessary. Weekends are ideal and we can fully support evenings if required at short notice. We have an abundance of nature walks in the local area and even smaller patches of green if that’s preferred. We can cater to those tired aged legs or those who prefer a marathon and even a coastal stroll! Your pet will be treat like family no matter the time and need.

Anne helped me out at short notice due to being let down She is clearly very thoughtful and kind to both humans and animals. My dog is very nervous and clingy but Anne worked hard to get to know him. The result was I came back to a happy dog, he even went looking for her this morning! Anne went above and beyond allowing me to have a long overdue holiday.

Rachel has been great. Our dog is especially nervous and she made great effort to settle her down and be patient in building a relationship with her. Will 100% be sticking with her.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, not just something I “look after.” I currently have my chihuahua, Bean, and my cat, Tonks, and previously owned a golden retriever, Aston, so I’m very confident with different breeds, sizes and personalities. What makes me different is my hands-on experience with horses as well as pets. I spend much of my spare time at the yard, so I’m used to responsibility, routine, and understanding animal behaviour on a deeper level. I’m confident with everything from high-energy dogs that need proper exercise to more sensitive or nervous animals that need patience and calm handling. I genuinely enjoy long countryside walks, so your dog won’t just get a quick walk , they’ll get proper time, attention and enrichment. I treat every animal like my own, making sure they feel safe, relaxed and cared for while you’re away. Flexible uni schedule = happy pets! Whether it’s long countryside walks with dogs or snuggly chill time with cats, I give every animal the love, attention, and care they deserve. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. With years of experience with dogs, cats, and horses, including my own Chihuahua, Golden Retriever, and cat. I know how to give each animal the attention, playtime, and cuddles they need. You can relax knowing your furry friend is in caring, experienced hands!

Maya was very friendly and attentive with our little Tino. He took to her straight away and didn't look back at me when leaving. I received photos and an update with Tino cuddled in on the sofa - very cute. We look forward to Mayas next visit in a couple of weeks would very much recommend- thank you 😊💙
