Pet Sitting Peterlee

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I've had the joy of owning dogs for the past 17 years, most recently my beloved dog, Bonnie, who sadly passed away at the age of 16. Caring for Bonnie gave me years of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of dogs' individual personalities, needs, and routines. While I miss her every day, I'd love the opportunity to spend time caring for other people's pets. Over the years, I've regularly looked after dogs and cats for family and friends, caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Whether it's energetic walks, playtime, feeding, sticking to their usual routine, or simply providing companionship and cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I am reliable, patient, caring, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether you need a dog walker, pet sitter, or someone to pop in for visits, I'd be delighted to help and look forward to meeting you and your furry family members. I'm currently working full-time, so my availability is as follows: * **Monday & Tuesday:** Available after **6:00 pm** for evening walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting. * **Friday:** I finish work at **3:30 pm** and am available from **4:00 pm** onwards. * **Weekends:** I'm available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, making me flexible for walks, drop-in visits, or overnight pet sitting. I'm happy to discuss your pet's needs and will always do my best to accommodate your schedule where possible. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a pet owner's home, I follow their usual routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication needs (if required), and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel relaxed while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for. I am happy to care for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, and I always adapt my approach to suit each individual pet's needs.

About: I have looked after dogs all of my life and I have also volunteered at a professional doggy day care facility. I work hard to become a self employed dog walker. I have also walked a couple of dogs through this site. I did this until the owners no longer needed my services. I am open to any day of the week, so can work around your busy schedules, to fit in with you and your dog’s busy lives. I have cared for dogs the majority of my life. I have also volunteered at woofs and scruffs which is a professional dog facility. I offer to do dog walking or dog sitting.

“Lovely pet sitters who take time to get to know about your pets. This was our first experience using a pet sitter and they made us feel very happy leaving our pets in their care. Would highly recommend.”

“Amela is very reliable and gives great updates on my cat when I am away. Also has lots of common sense, when something didn't work the way she expected it to she immediately contacted me. I have no reservations to recommend her on her reliability and common sense attitude.”

About: I had a cocker spaniel until recently but unfortunately she had to be rehomed. I love dogs and grew up with them. I live alone in a nice estate surrounded by great dog walks. I work full time Monday -Friday but weekends and evenings are free and I have some Mondays and Fridays off. I can also work from home during the week so weekdays for daycare are also a possibility. Enclosed back garden and your dog would have full use of my house, or whatever rules you want in place. I’m a dog lover and I would love to have the company of your pet. I have some Mondays and Fridays off. I generally work 8-4pm Monday - Friday but I can work from home and my evenings and weekends are free. I have a rear enclosed garden with a 6ft high fence, grass and paved area with plenty of plants and greenery. It’s not a huge garden but enough for your pet to have a little run around. I would want the dog to be happy and in my company with plenty of walks, cuddles, sitting beside me etc.

“Great job!! Shadow loved the attention and was really settled when I got back. Thanks so much.”

About: Myself and my partner Timmy, have both taken care of several dogs over the past three years, all of different breeds. This has involved walking, feeding and boarding. We absolutely love animals, the outdoors and going for walks. We are both very active. We currently live in Prestwich but like exploring new walks. We both own a car and can drive to take your dog further afield to a more secluded place if needed.😌 I am currently a primary school teacher full time and live in the North East. Myself and Timmy are both available after work, most evenings from 4:30 onwards and free on weekends for long walks/ boarding. We have a large garden that is fenced and gated at the front with both patio and grass. There are no other pets or children in my home. It is also a smoke free house.

“Kelly is a perfect cat sitter 😍 She made sure I was worry free while I was away. She bonded with both my cats so well. I am really happy to have found her and will book her when I am away next.”

“Thank you for looking after my cat Sushi while I was away. I will need your help again end of June when I have to travel again. Hope Sushi didn’t drive you mad with her whinging.”

About: I have had many pets over the years. From a donkey, goats, chickens and of course dogs! I stumbled across offering care for other people's dogs by accident really, but it works really well. I care for our extended family and friends dogs in my home while they go away on holiday. I lost my gorgeous dog four years ago and miss him terribly. I decided this would be a great way to enjoy having the company of a dog again. My dog was a whippet so I know what a good walk looks like! I am are registered on trusted house sitters and have five star reviews from all my sits. I have no dogs myself so your dog would be the only dog to be cared for whilst with me. You can go away knowing your dog would be having a lovely holiday with me while you are having your own holiday. They fit in as my pet for the duration of their stay. If I stayed in your home you could rest assured I know how to look after a home. I have been married for over 40 years. I have an acre garden so grass cutting does not faze me either.
