Dog Walking in Sunderland

About: Spending time with dogs has been a positive and grounding part of my life. As a veteran, I value patience, routine, and reliability, and I bring those qualities into the care I provide. I enjoy walks, outdoor time, and giving dogs attention and companionship. I’ll always care for your pet with kindness, respect, and consistency. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I have a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors with dogs. I’m dependable, responsive, and committed to making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. I’m a trustworthy and patient caregiver with over 10 years of experience training, walking, and caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Safety and comfort always come first. I have a private, secure garden where dogs can safely play and relax. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and owner instructions to make sure every dog feels secure, cared for, and happy while in my care.

About: Hi, I’m a qualified and experienced animal carer based in Sunderland, offering reliable dog walking, pet sitting, and home-based care services. I hold Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications in Animal Care, along with a Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma, giving me a strong foundation in both practical handling and animal welfare. Alongside my qualifications, I’ve completed two years of hands-on experience working on a farm with a wide variety of animals, which helped me develop confidence, patience, and a deep understanding of animal behaviour in real-world situations. I currently work in a doggy daycare, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments on a daily basis. This includes high-energy dogs, nervous dogs, and dogs with different social needs, so I’m very comfortable adapting my care style to suit each individual dog. My focus is always on maintaining your pet's normal routine as much as possible, reducing stress and helping them feel secure while you’re away.Every pet is treated with patience, care, and respect, as if they were my own. I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone new, so I provide regular updates, messages, and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.My goal is simple: to provide safe, reliable, and genuinely caring pet services that owners can trust and pets can enjoy. I aim to build long-term relationships with both pets and owners, offering consistency, routine, and high-quality care every time. I am still unemployed and looking for a job so i am free anytime of the day or night whenever i am needed i will be available. I will be pet sitting in other people's homes so if needed i can crate your dog or follow a routine whichever works best for the pet i can follow it

“Zoe was excellent with our two dogs. I was really nervous having someone new meet them but Zoe listened and put our minds at ease. They both loved her!”

“I’ve been very impressed by Sima, she is so caring and clearly knowledgable regarding dogs and in particular large breeds which has been refreshing. My Ruby has loved the walks she’s been on with Sima, the photos are lovely and she comes home and naps! Lol I’d highly recommend Sima to anyone…..”

I offer a calm home, long walks, enrichment, and plenty of attention. I’m reliable, communicative and always send regular updates so you know exactly how your dog is doing. Pet First Aid trained and confident with a range of temperaments — your dog will be in safe, caring hands. I'm really lucky to work hybrid and flexibility 90% of my week. I am more than happy to work with parents to ensure that any alone time is minimal and that their dog has the best stay possible. I do have a small campervan which I like to take to the Lakes should owners want their pup to join me on Wainwright adventures and long walks out. I'm are quite happy for visiting pups to sleep wherever they like but will always follow the instructions of their parents! I’d like to think that you are getting a quality service where your dog is treated as my own and will be taken on quality nature walks whilst in my care.

About: With over 5 years of hands-on dog sitting experience, I provide reliable, loving care tailored to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring extra patience and attention. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, which is why I prioritise safety, routine, and clear communication.

I manage my own appointments, which means I can plan my day around walks and feeding times to ensure pets receive consistent attention and care. I typically structure my day to include morning and evening walks, with availability during the day for visits, playtime, and any specific needs such as feeding or medication. Because I work from home and set my own hours, I’m able to provide a high level of supervision and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods.

I make sure they have a comfortable space to relax, with plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day.

Cleanliness and safety are a top priority in my home, and I ensure pets are always in a secure environment. I’m attentive to their behaviour and wellbeing, and I’m happy to accommodate any special requirements such as dietary needs or medication. You can expect regular updates and photos, so you always feel reassured that your pet is comfortable, cared for, and enjoying their stay

About: I believe what sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong passion and ultimate goal in life and dedication to all of Earths creatures. I am a student studying Animal Management at college with the ambition to progress to University to study zoology. Who better to trust with your animals than someone whose life goal is to care and protect the welfare of all living things? I am currently a volunteer at local animal shelter and charity ‘Pawz for thought’ where I assist in taking care of multiple cats and kittens who are in need of our help. I am available from Saturday to Mondays with occasional availability on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons. This is due to my College Schedule and volunteering schedule which are all vitally important for my future. My current pets, my heart and souls in my life, my two cats Caillou and Nova, are house cats and remain indoors unless equipped with a harness and strict watch. I am an advocate for spaying and neutering and putting in precautions for all aspects of animal health and welfare. Ensuring an animal is happy, safe and comfortable are all priorities I take pride in harbouring. I am well versed in the 5 essential welfare needs for animals under The Animal Act 2006 and I take this legislation into my animals care very seriously, ensuring an animal under my care is given the best care possible.

“Eamon was great, responded quickly to messages and kept us fully updated”
