About: I’ve rescued greyhounds (and 2 Galgos!) with my mum since I was 8 years old. 🐕 We currently have a gorgeous galgo, Monty, who lives with my mum, and me & my partner have a Romanian rescue girl, Aura. Aura was very reactive when we adopted her 3 years ago, but with many hours of practice she is a completely different dog. With that, I am very confident handling reactive / nervous pups, I have experience with muzzles and all different types of collars / harnesses, and I always use a positive reinforcement approach. ❤️ I’m an absolute dog enthusiast, with years of personal pet care experience and also walking / pet sitting friends and families dogs. I can’t wait to get to know you & your pup 🥰 I currently work part time so my availability does vary, however I will do my best to accommodate where needed. I am available any time before 4pm Mondays, between 11am-4pm Tuesday to Friday, after 11am Saturday and all day Sunday. I will always stick to whatever rules you have in place with your pup, and I will keep your dogs on lead or go to a secure pen for off lead time. I have alot of experience with nervous / reactive dogs. I’ve got crate experience if your dog is to be left in a crate after my visit. I’m happy to administer medication if you are comfortable with me doing so as I’ve done it for many years with my own dogs. I can feed your pup if needed and will make sure their water bowl is topped up! Happy to bath/groom your pup for a small extra charge.

About: I always have dogs in my house, my own, and from family, friends or neighbors who would leave them with me anytime needed. I'm very used to walking dogs and taking great care of them! I'm currently a stay-at-home mom, so I can take the dogs for a walk, play in the yard, and keep them happy and safe all day long. I have a fenced yard and an old fury baby - Lilica (14 years old, but very active). I also can easily keep the dogs apart if needed.


7. Carole H.
“Carole has looked after my cats multiple times and has done a great job each time. She is very affectionate with my cats and keeps them safe and entertained while I’m at work or on holiday.”


8. Ellen B.
“It took some time and a few walkers before finding Ellen, who is a trustworthy pet-minder and friend for my two anxious dogs. The service and professionalism that Ellen provided throughout the year was without a doubt more than what I was expecting as she regularly updated and reassured me if I had any concerns. From the initial meeting, it was clear that Ellen had love and experience with animals as she cared for mine like they were her own. I could not wish for a better dog walker!”

“Julie was great and very understanding of Marv’s nerves, patient and willing to take the time to introduce at the pace he needed ?”

About: I have a lot of experience is looking after dogs for friends and family and also my own. They are my absolute favourite. I have a little 1 year old sausage dog Ralph who is extremely playful and friendly and loves having friends over to play with or walk with him. I work from home so I am always in and have time to play and walk your pets. If your dog is friendly, then Ralph my dog will keep them pretty occupied playing! I have an enclosed back garden, however I usually take my own dog Ralph for 2-3 30/45 minute walks a day. We absolutely love the beach and getting out! I would say because I have my own dog who is very playful and still almost like a puppy, if your dog is not friendly with other dogs unfortunately I won’t be able to sit them :(


11. Jess A.
About: I’ve taken care of family and friends dogs for the last five years of different ages and breads, varied from walking them to looking after them when they are away. I love dogs, and never had my own only due to working full time so would give your pets lots of care and attention. I currently work full time so my availability is mainly weekday evenings or any time over weekends! I’d be happy to spend as little or much time as you’d like me to and would love the opportunity! I have a fenced back garden which has a grass area and would be secure for your pets! I have a smoke free and pet free home, no children so would be able to give undecided attention!

About: *Reactive pets welcome!* Please read my disclaimer at the bottom! Hello! I am an enthusiastic sitter with all your petting needs, be it dogs, cats, birds, reptiles. I've grew up in a pet filled environment all my life, and have multiple pet trainers in the family, My dad especially also runs a dog walking and pet sitting business and I have helped since I was young, I have seen many types of dogs and cats and can assure you I am experienced with all. I love animals and will always ensure your babies are only receiving the highest quality of work from myself! If you have any questions you are more than welcome to ask and I'll be happy to help, additionally my partner also helps me with animal care so don't worry if you see 2 of us lol! **Disclaimer; Serious enquires only please, if you are unsure just let me know and ill be happy to help! Due to a large amount of requests and no response after I confirm my availability I will now be closing request dms 3 days after no response and will not reply to future pet requests from the same user, this is very time consuming and it is important for me to have an accurate calendar for genuine enquiries of sitting, do let me know if you have found an alternative sitter or no longer looking. Apologies and thank you!** I do not work currently so am available every day of the week and also short time notice! Pet care is usually takes up a large quantity of my time as I own a bordercollie myself and we all know how much energy they have lol! She is dog friendly however also respectful of boundaries if there are other dogs that are not friendly she is perfectly trained to stay away. My home consists of an upstairs downstairs 3 bedroom private garden house, there are no children and baby gates are installed for other dogs. Usually when new dogs are at my home they are placed in the livingroom with me where there is a large space to bond, and French back door access incase they need toilet, for dogs that are simply being walked or I am attending their house, being taught the regularity of the dogs/cats routine is super important to ensure that they are receiving the best care as all dogs work well with routine! It's super important to always take any encounters slow and calm and bond with them before taking them out if a safe environment with a stranger!

About: I grew up in a home with a cat and a dog, meaning I have experience of walking a boisterous Labrador who wanted to be off the lead all of the time! I'm currently taking some time away from a previous career so have availability Monday to Friday all day for walks and home visits. Currently not looking to board overnight. Only looking to walk dogs south of the river due to Tyne Tunnel costs. I have a fenced private back garden should the dog need to be at my home for any reason. Due to my availability I can offer prolonged walks.


19. Keitt Adriene D.
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. I have a fenced big garden so your puppy will be very safe here with a big place to play. They are allowed to go to my bed if they feel safer in that way.
