About: I've been fortunate enough to grow up around dogs. I regularly look after our family dog and have plenty experience with high energy working breeds. Particularly Border terriers and their escape artist tricks! 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 transitioning back to work. My schedule is pretty flexible right now but I'm unable to book months in advance as I generally work away. When I'm not at work, dogs will have plenty of opportunities for walks and play throughout the day! 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.

“Alla has been amazing with our dog for daycare for the last couple of weeks. We get great of updates of how he is doing along with amazing photos/videos throughout the day. Alla has also been incredibly flexible to work around our schedule, along with picking him up/dropping him off. I would highly recommend for daycare!”

“Diane was wonderful with my dog Milo. I could tell he was in great hands, as Diane is lovely and kept me updated throughout the day with lots of photos and videos. Milo looked like he was having a great time, and came home happy and relaxed. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Diane again.”

About: I am 43 years old and have had dogs all my life. 2025 i did a variety of House and Pet sitting around the country, with dogs of all sizes. I work from home so am around all day and can do up to 3 walks per day. I live near the coast so can provide great walks both long and short. My dog is active and loves making friends.DBS checked due to my job and happy to provide i work from home full time. I can adapt to whatever your dog needs in terms of attention, walks and toilet breaks. I take my dog Winnie out first thing in the morning around 8.30, again at lunchtime and after work at 5. i have shared custody of an 8 and 11 year old who are both confident around dogs and have enjoyed a number of dog sits with me. i have a fenced garden and can keep your dog close to me when i work in my office. my female dog Winnie is active and friendly, she loves to play but chills in the house.

About: I started volunteering at a Guinea Pig rescue when I was 16. I have since studied Veterinary Nursing and Animal Psychology with the dream goal of working for the RSPCA. Although this hasn't happened, I am passionate about animals and animal welfare. I have been dog/pet sitting and boarding for 17 years and some of my clients have been with me since the beginning. I have experience with all shapes and sizes, breeds and temperaments. I have recently left my full-time job to take some time to reflect on what I want to do next. So, I'm free all day/night to interact with your fur baby. I live in an upstairs flat, with a veranda, that I have a retractable dog gate on - so they can be outside enjoying the sunshine but can't escape. I live a 3 minute walk from the Royal Quays Marina and Coble Dene park which is a beautiful walk. I also drive so I frequently visit Holywell Dene, Jesmond Dene etc. If pet care is more complicated than just walking/feeding/playing, I always appreciate instructions. I have boarded in other people's houses many times and I always follow instruction and rules.

“Jasmine was lovely to deal with, and Vinny seemed to very much enjoy her company. We will definitely be booking with her again! 🐾”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Available Monday to Sunday every week, I have two cats at home which get along with other animals and could be two potential new friends to your pet. I have a fenced backyard for your pet to play in, multiple animal beds and sofas for relaxation time and live next to plenty of open fields and nature trails for adventurous walks with your loved animal companion

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.

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.

“Suzie and Mango absolutely love Victoria and her family. They’re such sweet people. Victoria made me feel so comfortable, I know my babies are in safe hands with her ☺️”

About: Hi! I’m a calm, friendly dog lover based near the coast in North Shields. I’m responsible, reliable, and really attentive. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe and settled. I’ve raised my own dog since I found her at just 3 months old, and I’ve done all of her training myself. Because of that, I’ve spent a lot of time learning about positive training, routines, and what dogs need to feel happy and secure. I’m great at reading a dog’s mood, whether they’re full of zoomies and energy or more of a sleepy mood. I always focus on safety, comfort, and keeping to your dog’s usual routine so they feel at ease while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is in really good hands. I work from home/ am currently in between roles so I can walk your dog whenever suits! I don’t mind popping in or having a mid afternoon walk. Happy to be specific with timings to help if you are in the office. I will take your lead on whatever you are comfortable with in terms of walks and care and act accordingly - eg lead or no lead. Also happy to do quieter routes if that better suits.

“Abbey is great with our puppy Oscar. He gets very excited when he sees her. She keeps him busy with walks and play. He loves a nice chill too when he’s tired.”

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: When taking care of your pets I will ensure to stick to any schedules and provide great care of your pets. I will also play with and help train your dog(s) (I cannot train cat's or small animals). My dog wakes me up at 7 but I tend to only go for a short walk with him and go back to bed and fully wake up around 9am (can wake up earlier) and feed my dog around this time and also take him out for a potty break. I play with him and train him taking him on a few more walks. His last potty break is at 10:30pm and I will sleep at 12am I have two enclosed yards and I am crate training my own dog and can provide crate training if needed. I make sure to keep my home as clean as I can to ensure that there's nothing that my dog (or any other animal) can ingest that they shouldn't have

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.

About: Cat sitting + Clinical researcher - Newcastle upon Tyne, around Newcastle upon Tyne city centre till Howdon/Wallsend, UK Cats have been a part of my life since I was 11 years old, and my love for them has only grown over the years. Since moving to Newcastle, UK, I’ve helped friends care for their cats, and in 2017, I adopted my own beloved black cat who has been my loyal companion ever since. Through my experience, I’ve encountered & managed a diverse range of cat care situations, including: ✔ Feeding difficulties & picky eaters ✔ Managing constipation & digestive issues ✔ Post-surgery aftercare & recovery support ✔ Providing comfort, cuddles & companionship Cats are more than just pets to me, they are a fundamental part of my life... As a devoted cat lover, I understand their behaviours, emotions & needs. Being a cat sitter isn’t purely a job; it’s a passion... With a genuine heart for feline care, I am committed to ensuring every cat feels safe, comfortable & well cared for in my presence. As a dedicated cat sitter, I understand that every cat has a unique personality & their comfort, health is my top priority... Some cats are independent, while others need extra attention & reassurance - especially when faced with a new person. I take the time to build trust, ensuring each cat feels relaxed & at ease in my care. 🐾Tailored Care for Every Cat🐾 Clear communication with owners is essential to providing the best possible care. Whether your cat needs feeding, fresh water replenishment litter box maintenance, cuddles, grooming, medication administration (including injections), or close observation, I will follow your instructions carefully, thoroughly & attentively. Each visit usually lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your requests & your cat’s needs. 🐾Reliable & Transparent Service🐾 To give you peace of mind while you're away, I can send regular photos and videos - as many as you’d like! You can always stay updated & reassured about your cat’s well-being. 🐾Flexible & Trustworthy🐾 I am a permanent resident of Newcastle upon Tyne with a clear DBS check, ensuring reliability & trustworthiness. I am always open to learning and adapting to your cat’s specific needs. Any special requests, let’s discuss them...I’ll do my best to accommodate. Price is negotiable depending on travel time, requested timing & specific needs!!! Your cat’s happiness & well-being are my top priority. I’m here to provide loving, professional care. Let’s chat about how I can help... It depends. There will be a discussion with clients. Sometimes I work remotely, sometimes I am not. There will be the timetable for me in advance for clients to check prior to their decision to contact me. Alternatively, please contact me by email directly. We will schedule a meeting for the pet care. I am happy to cover all the areas in Newcastle upon Tyne. Different cat has different personality and behaviour towards loneliness and facing a stranger, even different attitudes towards female and male. Communicating with cat owners is also quite important to know how to take care of their cats and how to max my help. I hope every cat is the most comfortable around me. As long as owners tell me in brief or detail what treatments and services you need from me, I will let you know if I can do it or not, I will try and learn as much as I can to provide my service based on your cats' needs as my responsibility. By following the owner's instruction, I spend 30 - 40 mins/each visit with cats who need daily feeding, cuddling, combing, medication administration or/and injections and observation. Photos & videos are available to send to owners as needed.
