About: I have 6 years of pet care experience with my own dog. I work from home full time so I can give your dog my full attention while you are away. I work fully remote so I am always in the house and can provide regular updates, regular toilet breaks for your dog and my full attention. I have a high fenced garden and a spare bedroom. I have a little boy pug of my own who is super friendly and loves having visitors.

“I had to organise a day trip to London for work at short notice, and I was unable to find someone to look after my dog overnight and during the day in the whole of Newcastle. Luckily Csilla accepted, and we did a meet&greet the day before. Her family took excellent care of Gizmo, to the point that, once I collected him, he wanted to go back to their home! Highly recommended and will definitely used her again.”

“From reading reviews and choosing sima to care for my baby boy Flynn while I was away I couldn’t have picked anyone better. Doing a meet and greet a few weeks before I went away to dropping him off on the day and picking him up the day I returned was perfect. I received pictures daily of how Flynn was doing and what he had been up to that day. He looked so happy on the photos which made my holiday better knowing he was being well looked after. I would recommend Sima to anyone who needs someone to care for their family pet whilst on holiday. I will definitely be using her again. I’m sure Flynn is missing them both so much 🙂”

Highly highly recommend Katie.”


“Chester had his first overnight stay so that we could enjoy our daughter’s engagement party. Tania updated us with photos and it was amazing as we could enjoy something without worrying about the dog being left alone. Thanks so much for caring so well for him”

About: Me and my partner are both avid dog lovers that grew up in a house hold of 3 dogs and myself with 1, we have recently moved in together and are missing having the dogs around so looking to help dog sitting any pooches in need of a holiday. We live in a dog friendly building with lots of parks and fields near by and for day care I would take them into my work by the Quayside and be walked and well loved by the whole office while they stay. Any questions please let me know I currently work full time but in a dog friendly office along the Quayside so they would be well loved and well walked on my hour lunch aswell as a walk before and after work. I live in a flat so no issues on safety and have greenery and parks close by for all walking needs pre look rounds are compeltly fine.

“A lovely welcoming family with a lovely spacious house & garden. Our precious Pippy had a wonderful time with them & their dogs. She was very well taken care of. We would absolutely use you again! Thank you so much Scott & your beautiful family. Thank you for all of the updates too, photos, messages and also videos, it really helped a lot! Thank you for the use of your crate as well, it saved us wedging in our huge cage, in our tiny car! 😅”
