Dog Walking South Tyneside

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and the bond I had with my own dogs shaped everything about who I am today. They taught me patience, empathy, and how to understand animals who communicate more through feeling than words. Losing them was hard, but the impact they had on me is why I now pour my heart into pet sitting and dog walking. I specialise in supporting nervous, shy, and big‑feeling dogs who need someone steady, gentle, and predictable. I walk at a relaxed pace that helps dogs settle, sniff, decompress, and feel safe. I follow each dog’s routine closely — same walking routes, same cues, same pace — because consistency builds trust. I’m soft‑spoken, reliable, and fully present with every dog I care for. Caring for animals feels natural to me — like something I was always meant to do.

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and now own a wonderful rescue dog of my own. I’ve taken care of various dogs for friends and family and have volunteered at a shelter in the past. I know the importance of trusting that your dog is in safe hands and I pride myself on the highest quality of care for your lovely dogs. I work freelance from home so I am in charge of my own work schedule and am very flexible to work around this to suit your needs. I am a true believer in routine being imperative for dogs feeling secure and will always follow and trust your guidance on how to best take care of your pets.

About: Owner of 1 ginger, about to hit 16yrs old. I'm well aware he rules the roost and I don't argue. Lover of Dogs, cats, horses...all the fluffies really Free to be available mornings and nights 7 days a week if required. Always flexible and not rushed, will stay around for cuddles if they are willing I'd come to your house. I feel this reduces the stress on the animal. Their smells, their furniture better for them to relax in your absence

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.

About: I have been pet sitting for almost 2 years and it has been something I fall in love with every day. I care with all the love and affection and meet each pet’s needs. I have plenty of time with your puppies. I’m just managing my kids school time which takes about 30 minutes for dropping them off and pick them up but if you dog can’t be left alone I can definitely take it with me without any problem.

About: I offer reliable, loving care and treat every dog as if they were my own. I provide updates and photos, so you always know your dog is happy and safe. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life, not something I squeeze in. My daily routine is built around walks, feeding times, play, rest, and check-ins, so pets get consistent attention and calm, reliable care. I plan my day to match each pet’s schedule — whether that’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening routines — making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for as if they were my own. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of affection. Staying in their familiar environment helps pets feel calm, secure, and stress-free. I also keep the home tidy and provide regular updates so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away
