House Sitting in South Tyneside

“We had a great experience with Melanie. She took excellent care of our German Shepherd Odin who can be quite boisterous, for the day, provided great communication and updates throughout, and was very reliable. Melanie also came for a meet and greet a week beforehand and kept to agreed times. Highly recommend and would definitely use again.”

“Absolutely amazing service! From the first visit I knew Alannah was the perfect person to look after my dog. I was a bit apprehensive as he is very nervous and has never been left with somebody he doesn’t know really well, but settled perfectly and loved the regular updates and photographs I received throughout my holiday. She is so patient and followed his routine. Also kept my house lovely and tidy too It was very obvious she is an animal lover and genuinely cares for the animals she looks after I could not recommend enough and have booked again for my next holiday ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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: Lifelong dog lover, more recent dog owner, keen to spend time with more pooches! Have my own two year old kelpie, so used to high energy dogs. I work during the week until early tea time, so only available for evening walks those days, but I’m available all day every Saturday and every other Friday. I live with my brother who is more often free on a Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. I have a walled back garden large enough for sunbathing and toilet breaks more than play time, but I have West Park just down the end of the street with running space for days! Home is open plan downstairs, pooches are free to roam the house apart from the bedrooms.

About: I’ve always grew up around dogs and have a cockapoo of my own who is turning 6 this year. He is my pride and joy and have had him since he was a puppy. I should be available to mind your dog when my beloved boy is not in the house which is usually every other weekend as he goes to stay with other family. I work full time so would not be able to take your dog unless I was off work during the week. I am usually available on weekends , please feel free to message so I can check availability and in some cases re- arrange things. I would be available most evenings if required for dog walk or dog sit. My current work schedule is: Tuesday 8.30-6.30 Wednesday 8.30- 6 Thursday 8.30-6.30 Friday 8.30- 6.30 My partner finishes work at 2.30 on a Friday. Please message with any requests as unless I am working I can usually be quite flexible with my arrangements as my dog enjoys his sleep overs with other family. I have a high fenced back yard. I am happy to take any bedding/ blankets belonging to the pet to make them feel more comfortable within my own home. I also allow dogs on my furniture and bed as feel they should be treated like part of the family . The dog would never be left alone within my care where I go they go and if they don’t like social settings that’s fine, walks and chills on the sofa also work for me! For every dog I consider taking I would like to meet the dog and owners to understand the dog and make sure I can meet its needs. I am also happy to send owners updates of the dog when they are under my care as I know it’s Important to know your dog is having a good time!

“Jessica was absolutely amazing for our little Buddy. She was extremely caring and handled him with such love! She sent constant updates which was massively appreciated!! I will be booking her again as Buddy loves her and that is clear from when he saw her again and his tail was wagging away.”

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.

“Great. Julie was available but has a cat so booked her to stay at mine. Reliable, good time keeping, left thd place spotless but most importantly absolutely no issues with my dog Jampo Xx”

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

“I cannot recommend Louise enough she looked after both of my cats for 2 nights she kept me updated with photos and how they were doing throughout the day. I was able to go away and know my cats were in good care with Louise. The house was clean and tidy coming back home and she even emptied the bin before leaving. ”

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.
