House Sitting 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.

“Wonderful experience with Keely housesitting for a week, our two dogs (one nervous) took to her immediately and she kept us well updated with plenty of pics to put us at ease. Think the dogs were disappointed when she left, I would definitely use Keely's services again!”

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

About: Experienced dog‑lover returning to Rover after some time away. I previously cared for a Spaniel of my own and have years of hands‑on experience with energetic, affectionate breeds. 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: I’m a very bubbly, caring and patient person. I’ve grown up around animals, cats and dogs. My grandma has had many cats over the years that I have helped to care for. Presently my grandma has 2 cats, that were feral, that I’ve helped to take care of many times and I looked after them from when they were both kittens. Previously my grandma had had a Miniature Jack Russel and a Lhasa Apso, which I would sometimes care for. My aunt owns 4 cats, a French Bulldog, an African Grey Parrot and a Corn Sanke. Two of the cats are Mainecoons, who I love playing with. My Aunt has also previously had Mastiff’s and a Malamute, which I would also care for time to time. I’m currently working part time at a bar, so I mainly work nights. On a Thursday and Saturday morning I volunteer at a charity for animals. Around all this I can take your energetic dogs out for a walk or I can stay and keep your dogs/cats company. I am also happy to play with them too. I will care for your pets by taking them out on walks, playing, feeding and even keep ing them company when they want a cuddle.

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: As a huge dog lover, I have extensive experience working with all breeds and temperaments — from small companion dogs to larger, more challenging breeds such as Cane Corsos and XL Bullies. My background includes working with the police as a dog handler, carer, and trainer, giving me hands-on experience in canine behaviour, training, and handling. I am also qualified and experienced in assistance dog handling and canine behaviour, and I currently work as a night veterinary assistant. This means your pets will always be cared for by someone knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animal welfare. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, raising puppies and adopting rescue dogs throughout childhood and into adulthood. I currently have two rescue dogs of my own: Milo is my adopted Romanian mixed breed. He is well trained, gentle, and very affectionate. He gets along well with most dogs, although he can feel a little anxious around very large or overly excitable dogs. Milo can also be nervous in unfamiliar environments at first, but once he feels settled and comfortable, his soft and loving personality shines through. He is especially gentle and friendly with children once familiar with his surroundings. Moby is my 3-year-old Collie mix, also rescued from Romania. He is a sweet, easy-going boy who can be timid when meeting new people due to his difficult past, but he absolutely loves other dogs and enjoys playing. He can spook easily at times, but he is very well behaved, fully house trained, and equally happy having a play or simply relaxing and chilling out. I am very much a dog person and feel completely comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always aim to provide a calm, loving, and safe environment. You can be confident that your dog will be happy, relaxed, and comfortable during their stay — a true home away from home. Use my code “LEWISC58962” or link to get £15 off your first booking with me on Rover: https://www.rover.com/sit/lewisc58962 I am able to look after my dogs Milo 10yrs and Moby 3yrs alongside with my partner. He is a routine man and will wake up minutes before my alarm for a morning walk and food, he then usually has a afternoon walk followed by an evening walk before bedtime. I previously worked from home that allowed me to care for pets while your away and treat them with as much love as I do with Milo and Moby and their maintaining with routines. Your dog will be more than happy and comfortable here with milo and Moby, me and my partner pampered like one of our own along side regular updates. I have unclosed back garden, where they are free to wonder out and in along with Milo to keep company and plenty toys keeping keep them entertained while they stay, home away for home. Caring for your pet will be around your daily life and care for them, if they are crate trained or sleep in their own bed or in ours we will stick to what you/they know best to keep everything as natural and comfortable during their stay.

“Maya was very friendly and attentive with our little Tino. He took to her straight away and didn't look back at me when leaving. I received photos and an update with Tino cuddled in on the sofa - very cute. We look forward to Mayas next visit in a couple of weeks would very much recommend- thank you 😊💙”

About: I have taken care of my friend's dogs for over 4 years now, dogsitting, walks and vet appointments, and I feel confident to look after your pets whenever you need. I am a university student with only two days at uni with most of my time being spent at home studying on my own at home which makes my schedule very flexible. My flat has restricted windows, and there is a garden/parking which is walled in the back of my apartment block where I can take your pets for fun time on the grass.

“Iris absolutely loved her time with Jenny! I felt so comfortable leaving her knowing she was in good hands, and I was kept up to date with pictures and updates which was amazing. Will definitely rebook in the future - thank you!”

“5 stars. Can't say enough good things about Jatuporn. My dog is big, young, and nervous...not easy! But TJ was very patient and understanding with her, accommodating Jo Jo's sensitivity to get her trust. She quickly found the way to Jo Jo's heart by throwing the football with her (endlessly). And they made progress in trust while I was away. She kept me informed via text throughout my trip so I was never worried. I would recommend her without hesitation to other dog owners who need someone to take care of their dog while they are away.”

“Jordan was absolutely brilliant with our rescue huskador Dillon - just the right mix of excited to see him but a lovely calming presence! We had so many amazing photos sent, so we always felt super secure, and Jordan went above and beyond with looking after the house (and us at times!) Couldn't recommend more highly 😊”

“Debs and Dave are two of the nicest people you could ever meet. From the moment they first came to (meet and greet) us I knew my fur babies were in safe hands. With regular photos and videos of the 3 cats obviously enjoying themselves, my home was looked after and respected too. We can’t wait for them to come back!! See you soon many thanks and lots of purrs from us all xx”

“Alex was brilliant with my two dogs, they both felt comfortable with her straight away. She was efficient and great at communicating prior to the booking. I got photo updates and knew they were in safe hands :) thank you Alex!”

About: I have take care of dogs for the most part of my life and I have had many praises for the care and efforts that I put into my work. Dogs will be constantly fed, watered, walked and even trained or washed upon request. We are a very active household who love to get out and about on adventures so your furry friend will never get bored of exploring new places. So I do work during the day, however my partner works from home so is able to take good care of them while I am away. I will walk your dog before I go to work, and as soon as I get back followed by then again in the evening. I have a large, fenced garden for your dog, as well as plenty of toys and balls to play fetch and other dog games to play.

“Jessica was a fantastic dog sitter. I felt really at ease knowing my dog was left in such capable hands. She sent regular updates, asked questions rather than just guessing, and truly cared for my dog. I would certainly recommend!”

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!

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 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.
