Dog Boarding in South Tyneside

“Charlie loves staying with Victoria and her family as he gets lots of love and attention and he loves to be the centre of attention. I would definitely use Victoria again.”

“Kept in contact throught the stay with lots of pictures and video that puts your mind at ease. Can see bubba has come home happy and missing sparky. Will use again in future when needed”

“Lucy was absolutely brilliant with Billy. It was my first time using the app so I was slightly nervous about leaving him somewhere new. Lucy suggested a meet and greet prior to his stay and I could tell straight away she was very knowledgeable and loves dogs! Great communication and I received photos and videos throughout his stay. Highly recommend and I am glad to have found Lucy, Billy also clearly loved her ☺️”

“Alla looked after Wolfie really well, he can be a bit nervous so it was so good to see how confident he seemed in a new space. Alla clearly made him feel very safe and welcome.”

“Dorothy and Joanne took really good care of Harvey. You can tell they love dogs. We were sent regular updates and pictures. Can't thank them enough.”

“Jack was really settled & happy during his stay with Andrew. Lots of lovely long walks, and a fair few cuddles on the sofa. They got on like a house on fire, and became firm friends, even though it was only a short stay. Jack didn't even look up when I left after dropping him off... :-( Andrew kept me updated with what they were up to & sent some pictures, which was great. I would have no hesitation in recommending Andrew - he takes time to understand a dog's quirks & foibles, and tailors his plans accordingly. Jack had such a great time that when I went to pick him up, I had to literally drag him to the door!!”

About: Hello! I’m Victoria, mum to Matthew & Anna (10 & 7yrs) who will be present in the home during doggy day care and boarding. I have taken voluntary redundancy from my previous hybrid role in December and I am now home full time with more availability. My husband Shaun also works full time on shift leave and will also be in the home half days (according to shift change) with myself. I am trained in pet first aid. Fully insured and recommended. I have taken extra courses such as canine communication and an introduction to animal care, also a Pet sitting and dog walking course. (Please see images) *All CPD certified and available to view upon request. Rest assured your dog will be treat like my own, enjoying 1:1 adventures and unlimited adoration. We have a front and back garden both gated and fenced. Our home is based at the top of a large hill with fantastic views and walking trails to hand. I have years of experience with dogs other than my own. I had my own pet walking business for a while during covid and built a great customer base throughout, some that board with myself now. I have a full driving licence. Pick up and drop available from your chosen Sunderland area. Happy to accommodate owners requests. Any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’m about to take a voluntary redundancy from my current remote job of almost 11 years. I have always been home based and therefore able to board, freeing up my weekdays ables me to give all of my time to boarding, not just Friday - Monday. I have all the time for your beloved pet with no time obstacles, please ask any questions unanswered. I have a 6ft fenced back garden, grass, patio, decking, whichever they prefer. We also have a 6ft water feature (operates April - Sept) that the dogs seem to love! Out front we have a 4ft iron fenced garden with a drive. Again more grass, a great spot to relax and say hello to the passers by. I live in a very friendly cul de sac with very little traffic. The neighbourhood has a friendly atmosphere and great to play with other pets. I live on a hill with a popular trail area for dog walking. We also venture to Hylton castle and the pond which is also on our doorstep with large fields and parks for your pets leg stretches.

“Thank you Dean and Chloe for looking after Millie! The care you gave her was first class. You’re both clearly animal lovers and I felt at ease immediately leaving her with you. She loved spending time with you both and going on walks. You both treated her with love, care and respect, and I’ll always be grateful. She definitely loved all the fuss you made of her! I highly recommend Dean and Chloe to look after your precious fur babies as if they were their own.”

“A massive thank you to Heather for looking after our cat for a few days. He felt so comfortable and at ease which was amazing to see. Will definitely be using Heather in the future if needed. 10/10 service.”

“Very communicative with lots of pictures. Clearly had lots of fun on their adventures and he came home nice and exhausted. 100% would recommend.”

“Amelia had Twix for 2 nights while I was away and she was absolutely fantastic. I got lots of pictures and updates and he was extremely well taken care of. Highly recommend if you want peace of mind while away from your dog :)”

“Lovely lady who Reggie took to immediately. We felt very comfortable leaving him. Barbara takes her job seriously and was happy to answer all of our questions and reassure us. We would have no hesitation in recommending her and will rebook for our next holiday”

“Our Labrador, Dexter was well looked after by Suzanne. She sent frequent updates with pics and videos, which brought me peace of mind. Suzanne also has an older lab (and other three dogs) a playful companion for Dex. Thanks so much Suzanne”

“Good communication”

About: I love my dogs and treat them like family I am at home all week and have lots of spare time for walks. I have a large back secluded and secure garden that is ideal for pet care. Plenty of time as I do not work and a have a large house and secure garden. My husband often works from home to support any walks and exercise. I have a large secure back garden for running and playing you are welcome to visit in advance to see and make you feel comfortable.

About: I have a degree in Animal Science (BSc) from Newcastle University and have been around animals my entire life. I grew up with 4 family pet dogs, and once I bought my own home, myself and my partner decided to rescue our own dog - Our gorgeous Shiba named Chilli 🌶️ There is always someone at home and we would care for any animal as we do for our own. We also use Rover when we need Chilli looked after so we understand how important it is finding the right person. I work from home and so does my partner! So someone is always at home and available. We have a dog and understand the routine needed so are flexible for most needs. We have a private fenced garden, our dog is allowed on all furniture and has full roam and we would extend this to any visitors! We live surrounded by lovely wagonways and fields perfect for walking and playing.

“Would strongly and highly recommend. She saved myself and my dog when the last dog sitter had a hissy fit trying to care for my dog who had never had problems with anyone. She took very good care of him and was able to take the booking at the last minute. Jason was very happy in all the videos she sent me of him. I would highly recommend her”

“Kate very kindly agreed to look after our two boys with just over a weeks’ notice. We did meet up a few days prior to the stay to make sure our two Labradors were happy with Fraser - not that there were any concerns but a nice touch to agree to meeting up. Kate and her family have done a fab job, plenty of updates and photos. Including a photo of Fraser cuddling into Bailey! Super cute! I think my two labs would have happily stayed longer and were a little disappointed that I picked them up and took them home away from Fraser :) Would definitely book with Kate again and would highly recommend.”

“Evangelia gave a lot of care, plays and walks to our girl, Maple. Maple wasn't keen to leave when we went over to pick her up:) We are so happy that Maple also had a great time while we were on holiday. She send us a daily updates about Maple which keeps us reassuring. We would recommend Evangelia to anyone who are looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter!”

“Anna was lovely and clearly very knowledgable about dogs. Waffles took to her straight away and seemed extremely happy with her. Communication was excellent and much appreciated.”
