“Sian is amazing at caring for dogs with love and understanding and really makes them feel comfortable and at ease with her with lots of fun in a big comfy house and garden. (The dogs are even allowed on the sofa!) Lives right next to a big park too!”

“Andrew is the perfect person for minding your dog. He loves dogs having owned a rescue German shepherd for many years who he called his “fur baby” he always gave him time, care, consideration and understanding. . A dog has always been a member of tge family not just a pet.”

“I have known Sarah since she was little and she has always loved animals and has taken very good care of my past dog Bruno and my current dog Ozzy also taking them out for walks and play with them and also coming to sit with them when I've been away, she is very reliable and trustworthy!”

“Ellie is great and our Lhasa Apso Lola loves her. Always punctual and reliable, affordable pricing too. Makes it easier to leave Lola with Ellie as she clearly has a big passion and lots of love for the dogs she looks after.”

About: My education and current studying of a degree in animal science has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, physiology, and care needs. I can recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort in pets, ensuring they stay healthy and happy while in my care.Having both a dog and a cat means I’m experienced in managing the unique needs of different species. I understand their distinct behaviors, dietary requirements, and exercise needs, so I’m well-prepared to care for a variety of pets.Caring for a disabled animal has taught me patience, adaptability, and compassion. I’m skilled in administering medications, assisting with mobility, and providing the extra attention and care that special-needs pets require. If your pet has similar challenges, I’ll ensure they’re comfortable and well looked after.My experience with a disabled pet has made me highly empathetic and responsible. I know how important it is to go above and beyond to ensure the comfort and well-being of the animals in my care.I know how important mental stimulation and socialization are for pets. Whether it’s playing with a cat, walking a dog, or providing enrichment activities, I’ll keep your pets engaged and happy.As someone who values animals and has dedicated time to studying their care, you can trust me to treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m currently a student so have lots of time and very flexible with dates. Particularly during holiday periods. Weekdays and weekends work fine for me :) I have a fenced garden for security of your pet. Lots of lovely walking paths to have some great walks. I can use a crate if necessary in your homes.

About: I realised my passion for animals when I got my first dog at 10. I have since had a second dog join the family and helped out friends and family with their pets. I have experience with senior dogs, rescues and high energy dogs. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own. I do dog walking and pet sitting as my full-time job. I am available 7 days a week; I do volunteer at Dogs Trust Darlington on a Thursday evening for a couple of hours. Safety and trust will be two of my priorities when with the dogs. When I am in your home I will make sure that I do not leave harmful or dangerous foods/items around for them to get or doors open for them to get out. When on walks I will make sure that their lead is secure and that the environment is enriching but also one that they are comfortable with. I do have a DBS certificate and have completed an in-person canine first aid course.

About: I have extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. I specialize in basic obedience training, administering medication, and providing personalized care for anxious or special-needs pets. My patience, reliability, and deep love for animals ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I also focus on maintaining routines, offering enrichment activities, and ensuring a clean, stress-free environment for both pets and owners. Pet care is a key part of my daily routine, and I ensure every pet receives the attention they need. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, whether for feeding, walking, playtime, or administering medication. I am available for both short check-ins and extended stays, including overnight care when needed. My commitment is to provide consistent, reliable care that keeps pets happy and owners stress-free. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment when caring for pets, whether in my home or a pet owner's home. I ensure all spaces are pet-proofed, free from hazards, and suited to their needs. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, maintaining regular feeding, exercise, and medication schedules. For anxious pets, I provide a calm, reassuring presence, using patience and positive reinforcement to build trust. Hygiene is key—I keep litter boxes, feeding areas, and bedding clean. My goal is to create a stress-free, loving environment where pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared for.

“We couldn't have been happier leaving our dog, Finn, with Chris. Right from the start we felt so at ease and confident he was in good hands. Finn is usually a bit shy around new people, but he warmed up to Chris straight away, which was good to see and he really got on worh Yogi too, he has a new buddy now! We got updates and some photos, which was so nice and made us feel even better seeing him looking relaxed and happy. You can tell Chris really cares and treats the dogs like family, and Finn came back so calm and content (maybe even a bit spoiled!). Will definitely be booking again – it’s just a huge relief knowing we have someone we can fully trust with him and that we can count on Chris sometimes even if it’s last minute”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was about 9 years old, including three dogs and a cat. I took on the role of main dog walker, making sure our pups were well-exercised, bathed, and fed with love. Three years ago, my dog and I completed a 6-week puppy training course, where I picked up a variety of techniques for handling dogs and encouraging good behavior. I’ve cared for senior dogs who need a bit more time, patience, and attention—whether it’s during a walk or a quick drop-in visit—and I’m just as comfortable with energetic puppies too. Every dog is different, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know their unique personalities. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility during the day to take your furry friends on walks and pop in for visits whenever needed. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting theirs, I treat them like part of the family. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a pet owner’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or just some quiet company. I’m attentive to their body language, energy levels, and any special needs they may have, especially with older pets or puppies. Cleanliness, safety, and respect for both the pet and the home are always top priorities.
