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: Hi! I’m Chelsea 😊 I’ve owned multiple dogs at the same time for the majority of my life. Everything from chihuahuas to staffs. I absolutely love dogs, they’re my favourite humans (yes you read that right) I’m currently first aid and cpr trained so comfortable walking high energy, likely to get in a pickle dogs, puppies and elderly dogs needing extra care and attention. I’m more than happy to adapt to every dogs needs and demands to make their walk perfect for them. I am currently upgrading my skills with a level 3 award in canine care, behavior and welfare (ofqual standard) at the minute before I begin boarding and dog sitting from my home. I am the ever proud owner of my elderly chihuahua, Lexi who I love very much. She is one of my children. I’m used to walking 20k plus steps a day and love a good hike so am more than happy to provide bigger more strenuous walks for the high energy pups. I work part time, three days a week but finish on those days at 2pm so can still offer walks on those days too after that time I’m currently working part time leaving most of my week free for all your walking and dog sitting needs! I am free any day after 2pm and the majority of days free from 8am. I have a very large fenced back garden with plenty of running and playing space for your dog giving us a loads of opportunity for a good run up and down and some great games of fetch. Our garden is westerly facing for all the fury sunbathers out there with a large shaded area too! My home is all open plan for free roaming of the place and are more than happy for your doggies to cuddle up on the sofa with us!

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, including dogs, cats and other pets, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines and little quirks. Whether it’s a playful dog who needs plenty of enrichment, a nervous pet who needs patience and reassurance, or a cat who prefers calm and consistency, I take the time to understand what makes each animal feel comfortable and safe. I’m attentive to the small details — changes in behaviour, body language, preferences and routines — because I believe great pet care is about more than the basics. It’s about creating trust and making sure your pet feels happy and cared for while you’re away. I’d love to welcome your dog or cat into a calm, caring environment where they receive the attention and respect they deserve. I work from home, which allows me to build pet care naturally into my daily routine and provide regular attention throughout the day. My days already include structure, including daily walks and time dedicated to being active and outdoors, so caring for a pet fits naturally alongside my existing routine. I enjoy creating a calm and consistent environment where pets can feel comfortable and settled. When caring for pets alongside my own cats, I prioritise their comfort and safety. I would provide separate spaces where needed, allowing each pet to have their own area, routine and time to relax. For example, visiting cats would have their own dedicated space while they settle in, with individual time spent with them throughout the day, while my own cats have their familiar areas. For dogs, I would take a similar approach by managing introductions carefully and making sure each pet has the space and attention they need. I believe pets are happiest when they feel secure, respected and able to adjust at their own pace. My goal is to make pet care feel like a natural part of my day while ensuring every animal receives personalised attention, routine and companionship. My priority is creating a safe, calm and comfortable environment where every pet feels secure. My home has a fully fenced garden, providing a safe outdoor space for pets to enjoy fresh air and supervised time outside. I always prioritise safety, including being mindful of each pet’s behaviour, needs and comfort levels. As I have my own cats, I take introductions and boundaries seriously. I would provide separate spaces where needed, allowing each pet time to settle and feel secure in their own environment. Any interactions between pets would always be carefully considered, gradual and supervised, based on the individual temperament of each animal. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, respected and understood. By maintaining clear routines, providing individual attention and adapting care to each animal’s personality, I aim to create a positive and stress-free experience while they are in my care.

About: Ive always loved dogs, had dogs since I was 11, two Bernese mountain dogs both lasting to 11+ years. I now have my own greyhound called Tess who is brilliant with other dogs, gentle and playful. I love to run (the greyhound ironically doesn't share this passion), and I love being outdoors no matter the weather. I am happy to take on group walks with my dog to get them socialized and playing together and she will ensure your dog gets tired out and a good run around and lots of play and care. I work three days a week in a&e. The rest of my time I do lots of walking and running. I love to be outdoors whatever the weather. I have a 3 year old rescue greyhound called Tess. I have a ground floor flat with an enclosed yard. I live in tynemouth adjacent to a large park and plenty of fields. I have plenty of toys and healthy treats

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in South Tyneside on Rover is £13.8 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 853 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across South Tyneside. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your South Tyneside. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in South Tyneside.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
