Beth was great. Lovely to meet with her before the cat sit, nice to get to know the person you are trusting with your adored cats. Reassuring to have daily videos and see how much the cats were enjoying the company. Both kitties were happy and relaxed when we came home - so nice to not have to worry while enjoying our holiday. Thanks Beth x

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.

Lindsey was very friendly and reassuring as my young dog went away for the first time with her. ‘Frankie’ came back happy and tired and I would recommend Lindsey as you can see she loves dogs and Frankie was happy with her too.

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’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: 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.

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 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 provide dependable, personalized care tailored to each dog’s unique temperament, with experience handling reactive, nervous, and overly friendly dogs using calm, reward-based, force-free, encouragement-based, praise-and-reward techniques. Skilled in puppy training, leash manners, socialization, senior care, medication administration, and mobility support, I ensure safety, structure, and consistent updates for total peace of mind. I believe every dog deserves more than just a walk — they deserve care, attention, and joy along the way. With a background in professional care, I bring reliability, patience, and a calm approach to every pet I look after. I tailor each walk to your dog’s needs, whether it’s a gentle stroll, an energetic adventure, or extra reassurance for nervous pups. More than exercise, my walks are about building trust and keeping tails wagging, so you can feel confident your best friend is safe, happy, and truly cared for. Pet care is at the heart of my routine — it isn’t something I fit around, it’s something I plan my day around. I structure my schedule to make sure dogs get walked on time, fed when needed, and given plenty of attention. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening check-ins, I keep a steady rhythm so pets feel secure and owners know they can rely on me every week.

About: Hey! Im Kay, I’m 28 years old & I’ve grown up around dogs of all breeds my whole life. I am fully insured, DBS checked & Canine first aid trained I’ve always been the kind of person who just understands animals. I’m calm, patient and naturally tuned into their behaviour which is why I do not believe in a one size fits all approach to dog walking. I have personal experience with my own reactive dog, which is why I take my time to understand each dog properly; their personality, their needs, their quirks and build trust at their pace. Some dogs want calm, some want adventure and some just need someone who understands them without pushing too much. I have done multiple training courses covering all kinds of canine care. I am also looking to further my education in reactive dog handling. My prices do reflect the fact I am new to the dog walking business, but I am confident in my skills, I am taking things easy while I gain confidence with meeting new people and running a business, but I can’t wait to meet you and your companions! My days are pretty flexible. I do dog walking and pet services 7 days a week 9am-5pm. I don’t often offer services outside of these hours because of other commitments but that may vary Meet and greet!….. I do not offer pet sitting in my home, my reactive little guy would not be impressed with that! HOWEVER! I do offer pet sitting in YOUR home. I can pop in for the pee breaks! Or I can hang out with your hound! Let me know their routine and I can fit right into it I have a spacious and reliable dog proofed car! My car is my absolute pride and joy so I am constantly keeping up on it’s maintenance ensuring your dogs safety and my cruising enjoyment! I have dog friendly seat belts and attachments, I’m also always equipped with a full outdoor first aid kit! And I supply dog tags with my details on to clip to your dog as extra precaution. I am DBS Checked

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.

Amazing service again with Hayley. My little dogs love people and love hugs and attention. Hayley always spends time playing with them. They are vocal when out and about and Alfie particularly can be quite reactive to other dogs. We are always confident Hayley can manage this well as she has got to know them. At some point they may learn personal space and not sit on her head whenever she comes but they sure do love her

Lindsey was very friendly and reassuring as my young dog went away for the first time with her. ‘Frankie’ came back happy and tired and I would recommend Lindsey as you can see she loves dogs and Frankie was happy with her too.
