About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. Neighbours, friends and family have trusted me to exercise, feed and care for their pets. I have experience looking after puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. As a current student, much of my learning is self-directed and from home; therefore I have a flexible schedule and lots of spare time for dog walking and drop-in visits. I will communicate with you regarding keeping your pet as safe as possible, catering my approach to your individual pet’s needs. I have experience of crating dogs, so would be comfortable putting your dog in their crate following a walk if that was required.

About: I have spent the last two years looking after friends dogs. In the past I completed two work experiences placements in veterinary practices, caring for all the animals that were there. I currently work from home most days and love to get outside and walk a four legged friend during lunch breaks or days off. I have a secure large garden that dogs can explore and spend time in. I hope to build a relationship over time with dogs we look after so they feel safe and familiar with me as a sitter. I have two children (aged 4 and 6) who would be around if we dog watched in evenings or weekends. Dogs would therefore need to be comfortable with children I work from home most days. I’m flexible to support dogs with walking or watching for longer periods. I love to be outside and go outdoors everyday so walking will be a pleasure. We have a fenced secure garden. We live in a quiet cul de sac that is 3 miles from the beach. There are walking tracks through local countryside that start at the end of our street so east access to fun outdoor walks. I would look to owners to advise how best to meet the needs of their unique and individual dog.

About: We have both had cats and dogs our whole lives and since moving out of our family homes, we've noticed a distinct gap left by our furry companions. Due to work commitments we are not in a position to have our own full time pet, but look forward to the opportunity to look after yours for you! Between us we have had our fair share of experiences with hard to handle hounds, including tough walks, entertaining and administering medication. So feel relaxed knowing they are in safe hands! Currently I manage my own business from home so can be made available at any time for pick up, drop offs or walks! More than happy to sit throughout the week or on weekends. We live in a spacious ground floor flat in Jesmond with a back garden and Jesmond dene 5/10 mins walk away. I am on a flexible schedule ableing me to walk, sit or check in on pets when needed.

About: With extensive experience caring for my sister's dogs, Apollo and Bec, I understand what it takes to be a dedicated pet sitter.

I'll bring this same level of devoted attention and enthusiasm to caring for your beloved pet. I'm available most days to provide dedicated attention to your pet, including walks and interactive playtime with their favourite toys. I believe in giving pets my full attention, ensuring they receive plenty of affection and cuddles to keep them happy and content throughout our time together. Your dog will have a wonderful time playing with there toys and with lots of cuddles to. I will also provide constant supervision during outdoor playtime ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for your pet.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, grew up with all kinds of dogs from Alaskan Malamutes to Pugs. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their dogs. I have a very friendly and excitable Puggle called Queenie and my whole world revolves around her. My previous dog was a Tibetan Terrior who in his older years become rather poorly. He was blind and had diabetes, I had to test his urine (used to run around the garden with a Tupperware box trying to catch it every morning 🤣) and inject his insulin everyday so complex needs are no problem.

About: Hi, I’m Stephen – a reliable, and passionate dog walker who treats every dog like my own. With many years of being a responsible dog owner myself I have decided to take it one step further and become a dog walker/sitter. I go beyond just walks – I provide safe, engaging, and enriching experiences tailored to each dog’s needs. Whether your pup or dog is high-energy, shy, or a senior needing a gentler pace, I’m confident in my ability to connect with them and make every outing a positive one. What sets me apart? Consistency, communication, and a genuine love for dogs. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and preferences. You’ll get updates every walk, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in capable, caring hands. As a self-employed professional, I have the flexibility to build my schedule around what matters most – caring for dogs. This means I’m available during the day for regular walks, last-minute bookings, or consistent routines that work for you and your dog. My flexible hours allow me to give each dog the time, attention, and energy they deserve, without being rushed or overbooked. Because I set my own schedule, you can count on me for dependable availability and responsive communication – whether it's daily walks, weekend outings, or midday check-ins. When your dog stays with me, they’re part of the family. I’ve made my home a cozy, dog-friendly space where dogs or pups can feel safe, relaxed, and totally at ease. Whether it’s a comfy spot to nap or a secure garden to explore, I’ve got everything set up with their comfort and safety in mind. I stick to their routines, keep a close eye on how they’re settling in, and always give updates so you’re never left wondering how they’re doing. Trust means everything to me — and I treat every dog like they’re my own.
