About: I remember my childhood well because it always included a beautiful dog which made our family complete. I love to walk my bros dog Murphy. I currently work part-time so plenty of time to play and walk. We have a beautiful Park and River near by so lots of fresh air and green space to enjoy. I have worked in the Health Industry to include healing mentoring and coaching. Part-time school work to include Exam Invigilaing. So I hold a DBS also. My hobbies are Yoga Aqua Bowling and lots of walks in nature. Age-Fit. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet. I have a walled garden with a gate at both ends and also a back garden. It can be a busy road so the dog wont be out alone.

I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment where your dog will feel right at home. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy walks, playtime, and sticking to your dog’s routine to keep them happy and comfortable.

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure walled yard for supervised outdoor time and a clean, pet-friendly home environment. I also have a friendly dog who is well-socialized, but I can easily crate or separate pets if needed to ensure everyone feels safe. I carefully follow feeding instructions, routines, and any special care requests. You’ll receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

Louise and Dean looked after my dog Tukka so well, and took her on such great walks that she didn't want to leave! Tukka stayed overnight and enjoyed cuddles on the sofa and snuggling up in bed. It is obvious that Louise and Dean absolutely love dogs - and with Tukka the feeling was definitely mutual. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Louise again or recommend her to others.

Left my 2 girls with Emily for 5 days & I couldn't be happier with how they were looked after, ive never left them with anyone so i was a bit apprehensive about how they would be, but i didnt have anything to worry about. with all the photos & videos Emily was sending me each day keeping me updated on how they were doing was amazing. My labrador now has a new best friend in Emily's dog reggie as it seemed they just played none stop & ran around the fields together out on walks. Next time I need to go away anywhere, Emily will be my 1st call to look after my girls.

Elise was so great with Roxie, she took great care of her and kept me updated throughout. Roxie formed a new frienship with Elise's dog Dory and enjoyed cuddling with her! Roxie was very well looked after to the point she was really happy and excited when she saw Elise on her second boarding stay. We will definitely use her again xx

About: I've been fortunate enough to grow up around dogs. Our 15 year old Border Terrier unfortunately passed recently and we have a 8 year old Working cocker. I regularly looked after our dogs and therfore have plenty experience with high energy working breeds. Particularly Border terriers and their escape artist tricks! I'm familiar with caring for a dog requiring regular medication or who has anxiety issues. I will provide a loving and caring environment for your furry family member as I would with my own family pets. I'm currently finishing my masters degree and I'm at home the majority of the week. My schedule is pretty flexible so any dogs will have plenty of opportunities for walks on the beach or park and stimulating games. I live in an ideal location within walking distance to Longsands beach, Northumberland park and traffic free walking routes. My flat is ground floor and I have a secure backyard for which I have sole use of. Your dog will be allowed free roam of the flat. My flat is a quiet environment so is ideal for nervous dogs. Due to my schedule I'm able to walk during quieter times of the day. I'm happy to go running with a dog if that is something that is suitable or spends a few hours on the beach playing fetch. I'm pretty active so will always ensure your dog has plenty of exercise opportunities. I will only look after 1 dog or dogs from the same family at a time. If your dog like company I can also introduce them to our working cocker who loves to play.

Amanda is very active and had some lovely plans for places to take Emily. The area around Amanda seems good for the dogs as well. It looks like Emily and Phoebe also got along well and Emily (and Phoebe) had already had their morning walk by the time we picked her up at 9am.

Julie catered to our dog Coopers every need. He’s a bit of a stubborn old dog, that require some special attention. We had regular updates on the days activities and Coops seemed to be very comfortable and relaxed on his holiday. Can’t recommend Julie highly enough and I’m sure Cooper will be excited to go back for more walks and cuddles

About: Hello, I’m Maya. I come from a family of animal protectors who have always looked after cats and dogs. I grew up with pets and have never been without them. Currently, I have two cats, both aged 4, who are house cats but enjoy little walks. I take them out on leads every morning. They are very spoiled and much loved. I'm here to help because I understand how anxious it can feel to travel and leave your pets at home. I know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of them. I'll provide food, water, clean the litter box, and entertain your cats with toys—following whatever routine you have with them. I can also send daily photos and videos so you can relax, knowing they are well cared for. I have experience giving pets oral medication (though not injectable). I'm happy to offer a free meet & greet so you can get to know me, and I can learn about your pet's needs. This will also give you a chance to share your pet's routine with me, ensuring I take care of them in the best way possible. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time for looking after your pet whenever you need, either for a trip away or for daycare. I live in a flat, with a fence backyard. I live near a park which I love to take dogs for walks. I have 2 cats, which most of the time will be sleeping.

We have a 3 legged disabled Rottweiler who has vulnerabilities and can be very cautious with people she doesn’t know. We contacted Jake who went out of his way to adapt his home for her as she struggles with smooth wooden floors. We tried an overnight stay to see how she is and how he bonds with her. Jake went above and beyond to accommodate Xena. We then went on our family holiday and he sent regular updates and worked on the bond and building the trust with Xena over the 2 week period. He gained her trust to overcome her vulnerabilities and we got regular updates and photos. I would highly recommend Jake. He put our minds at ease knowing our dog was getting what she needed and was well looked after. Thanks Jake 👍

Maeve looked after my dog Peanut for the weekend and he has had the best time! She has treated him like her own dog allowing him to have cuddles in bed and on the sofa! He had the best walk at the beach and the field playing with sticks. He’s come home very content. Would highly recommend Maeve and peanut would love to visit again!

Queli is a lovely caring person and took great care of my two elderly toy poodles. The whole family are dog lovers and gave my dogs a lot of care and attention. She messaged me regularly with photos to show where they had been on their walks. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my dogs when I’m on holiday and I hope to book her again next year.

Collette was amazing, updated me on everything during the booking, took amazing care of my puppy on an overnight stay and was so lovely in the lead up, during the stay and drop off. Great communication, excellent care, her doggie Reggie was my little pups bestie by the end and is a sweet gentle angel, and I would recommend Colette to anyone who wants peace of mind when leaving their precious fur babies with a sitter.

Our baby has just came back from a week stay with Haylie and had the most amazing time! It was our first time being away from him and we felt so at ease with Haylie, we did a meet and greet before he went to stay with her which we felt very comfortable about and the whole stay she kept me updated with daily photos and what he had been up to. Gordon is still a puppy and still a little bit naughty but Haylie understood his quirks and he was well looked after. Highly recommend Haylie to anyone and will definitely use her again! 😊
