Liam was a true lifesaver and managed to fit us in last minute, he took great care of my dog and 3 cats. He went above and beyond for us, even travelling 2 hours to sit in our home, I would recommend Liam to anyone

Caitlyn looked after Arlo from 8-5 for me. When I got back he was extremely tired and calm, which showed how much time she put in to playing with him and keeping him entertained. Made my evening so much more peaceful! Would highly recommend.

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.

About: Growing up in a family home with two dogs, I developed a deep understanding of the responsibilities and joys of pet care from a young age. My experiences with dogs have shaped my ability to nurture, train and bond with animals, as well as manage their well-being day to day. I have just finished first year university and going travelling in the summer, therefore although I am wanting to work full time at my current job, I would love to help out whenever I can. E.g. after work on evenings, weekends and other days off! I live in a block of flats which is dog friendly! As for dog walking I will respect your rules e.g. dog on/ off the leash.

About: I am a committed and understanding animal carer who has spent their entire life surrounded by dogs. At my family home I have a Labradoodle and a West Highland Terrier, meaning I understand how to care for both big and small dogs alike. I’m an energetic person and love going on long dog walks, but I’m also more than happy to pop in to feed and play with your canine best friend in their own environment. I love the exploring new places - particularly if there's a furry companion in tow - and will always try to make walks as exciting as possible! I will treat your pets as if they were my own - I can’t wait to get to know some fantastic doges! I work as an actor, meaning there are periods of time when this line of work is quieter. When this is the case, I can devote all my time to your canine family members. I know all the best spots for a walk in the area and can incorporate all terrains if requested! I also have my own car and am more than happy to do day trips with your dog to new and exciting place (with enough advance notice). I also have joint-ownership of very friendly labradoodle, who can also come out on walks if you're looking for company for your dog.

Pip is my nephew, he's in his early forties fit and well and is a and always has been a dog lover. He lost his King Charles Cavalier (Corbett) Christmas 2023 and that little dog was so well treated and looked after. He walked him at least twice a day. We have a Westie (Bobby) and Pip has often been requested to look after him. He has stayed at my house in the Midlands to look after Bobby when we have been on holiday. We have also left Bobby at Pips house in Sunderland many times when we have needed help to look after our dog. Pip is a lovely lad, has a lot of canine care experience, he will cherish looking after your dog and rest assured your dog will be walked and taken care of with love and attention so have no fear if you need support.
