“Sam looked after Angus at very short notice and was really flexible to what we needed. Angus had s as great time at home with her family and also had a proper walk each day. Highly recommended.”

About: What sets me apart is availability and consistency. I work from home full-time, so dogs are never left alone and always have consistent supervision and company. I live in a calm, spacious two-bedroom house that’s ideal for in-home boarding. I’ve looked after dogs for several years through social platforms as well as for friends and family, and I’m comfortable following different routines and needs. I enjoy regular walks and providing attentive, reliable care. I’m especially well suited to puppies who need structure and senior dogs who benefit from a quieter, closely monitored environment. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m always available for supervision, regular walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Dogs are never left alone for long periods and are part of my day rather than worked around. I provide a safe and clean home environment where dogs are well attended. Because I work from home, pets are never left unattended and their routines are followed carefully. My home is well suited for boarding, with plenty of space for dogs to settle comfortably, and I make sure walks, feeding, and rest are structured and consistent. I always prioritise a dog’s comfort, safety, and wellbeing while they’re in my care.

“Simba had a lovely first day with James. He had a long walk, tasty treats and met a new doggy friend. I got some great photos which showed how comfortable he was and how well he settled in there. Very well recommended.”

“Boo had the best time today!! So happy and relaxed played in the garden and had snuggles on the sofa she can’t wait till her next visit!! 😁 Can not be happier with today’s visit such a warm friendly welcome the perfect place thank you we will be returning 😁”

“Our sausage dog Frankie spent the day with Emily and her pooch Sarge today. Emily took them to the beach and Frankie had a brilliant time. We were sent plenty of photos and videos which put us at ease. Will definitely be booking again and would recommend 😊”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my life since the age of 15 and have always loved being around my friends’ and family’s dogs. I truly enjoy taking them out for walks, teaching them new tricks, and getting to know their unique, quirky personalities. Dogs have always felt like part of the family to me, and I care for them with the same love, patience, and attention. I’m currently working so will have limited availability to start with but hoping to expand this when I can! I have a car so can easily travel short distances I have a fenced good sized back garden and can easily accommodate to the dogs needs. I have a car which can be used for transport

“Would recommend Christine to everyone! Left my two boys, Oscar and Monty, with Christine for the first time, all day, at short notice. They were well looked after and on pick up they were so settled they almost didn't want to come home! Will be using Christine again in the future”

About: At my dog sitting service, I am proud to providing top-notch care for dogs with a personal touch. For example: puppy and senior care, video calls with the owner, daily reports about how we spent the day, online tracker ( walking routes, location) with a 24/7 acces via app, home made cooked healthy meals (optional). I'm mainly at home all day, but I have cctv access with a speaker option if I need to go out. I never leave a dog at home alone who is with me for the first time and I am not sure what to expect from them exactly. I have a fully closed rear garden and a friendly tiny dog, Bobby (11, Shi-tzu mix :). Dogs can use sofas, beds if they are allowed at their home as well. I only use crate at a special request of the owner. Dog walks are only on-leash.
“Charlotte was very professional throughout the start process, she was very accommodating of our shifts to make sure both of us were there for the meet and greet, she asked every question to make sure Max was getting the same love, attention and training in her home as he would get at his own. Max had a fantastic day with Charlotte, doing everything he would do at home and more, no change to his routine and Charlotte sent plenty of pictures and videos through out, we would definitely use again because we are using Charlotte again!”


About: I am QLS Level 3 Animal Care, Pet First Aid & Pet CPR qualified, and carry a pet first aid kit with me at all times. 🩹 I am a passionate animal lover; I volunteered for Sheffield Retired Greyhound Trust until I moved to the North East in 2024, spending my Saturday mornings caring for and walking rescue greyhounds. I grew up with two of my own dogs. I have been providing dog walking services since 2017, and daycare and boarding since 2019, meaning I have over 15 years of experience taking care of dogs. 🐶 I have a calm and quiet home, and can provide enrichment and plenty of attention, especially if your dog loves a sofa cuddle! I pride myself in being reliable and communicative, so you know your dog is in the best hands. I live within walking distance of Rainton Meadows Nature Reserve, and hold a Durham Wildlife Trust membership to walk dogs in a variety of different places so they don't get bored. 🌳 I organise a pre-meet before all boarding bookings to check that you and your dog feel comfortable with me, my partner Cal, and our home, to make sure we're a good fit for your dog and vice versa. We don't have any of our own pets, and I only care for one family's pets at a time, to ensure I can provide the best one to one love and care; a real home away from home. 🥰 When your dog is in my care, I treat them as if they were my own. I will provide you with regular photo 'pupdates' on how they are and what they're getting up to. 🐾 I work from home full time, so I can offer boarding and daycare for dogs and small furries (separately, or together if from the same famiy). I can only cater for dogs with separation anxiety for daycare, but not for boarding. I live in a calm and quiet detached house with a decent sized fenced-in garden, with my partner Cal. We don’t have any of our own pets, and I only care for one family’s pets at a time, to ensure I can provide the best one to one love and care.
About: I rescued my own dog from Belarus where he was a street dog. Elvis is blind and needs extra care but leads a full and happy life with us. We also have a cat at home and a horse on a local farm. We are fully licensed with Sunderland City Council and Ofqual canine first aid trained (level 3). I am available weekdays and weekends depending on your needs and I offer a flexible service. I offer walks and play time alongside my own dog. I offer a high standard of care in my own home and whilst out on walks; I have been checked and vetted by my local council and hold an animal activity license for your piece of mind. Each dog in my care will have a risk assessment, and will be checked in and out. I am affiliated with a local vet.
“Very welcoming to me and Pansy. I could see she felt at home and was happy to leave her. Good communication between me and the sitters. I would definitely ask them to have Pansy again.”

“Abigail looked after my baby fur was she was her own, she kept updating with pics and video about how Daphne was doing. Super recommend and we will use Abigail services again.”

Romana was lovely. Chester was nervous going into a new environment, but she reassured him and kept me updated. When it was time to leave he wanted to stay. Sounds like Chester and Dayo had fun playing with toys and getting cuddles. Thanks again and see you on 2026

Rufus had the best time with Adele! He was settled and clearly feeling at home within minutes of arriving, and it was lovely to leave him without the worry that he'd be nervous/anxious. Adele sent lots of lovely updates and it was great to see Rufus having so much fun - we'll definitely book again :)

This is our second booking with Pip and we would highly recommend him. Our two labradoodles are quite excitable on walks but he handled them really well and gave them lots of attention and play time. His communication was excellent we got lots of pics and messages throughout the day and when we picked them up they were happy and content. Thank you very much!
