House Sitting in County Durham

“We have 2 dogs, one is a Rhodesian Ridgeback who is a large dog that has seperation anxiety. Jamie looked after our dogs for 8 hours while we attended a wedding. Jamie is a natural with dogs. Jamie sent photos and reassured us that our dogs were okay. We highly recommend Jamie and will be using Jamie again in the future.”

“Can’t recommend Rachel enough! She’s been amazing house sitting with my 2 rescue dogs. Rachel was so patient allowing them to get to know her at their own pace and sent lots of updates and photos throughout the stay to reassure me they were all ok! Lots of enrichment and cuddles, came home to two very happy pups!! Thank you so much 🐾”

“Another brilliant house sitting service by Ashley! He’s great at keeping in touch with updates and really attentive to routines for my sausage Lady and cat Charlie - I feel relaxed knowing that they’re relaxed with him :)”

I have a Sphynx cat called Ursula Currently working part time as and when so flexible and available 7 days a week any time from 6am to 10pm. Very flexible in regards to working hours I will look after your pet as if it’s my own making sure they are looked after as requested to their individual wants and needs.

“Ive known chloe as having and owning dogs since ive met her. She is very loving towards her own dogs and care about others and loves to give attention to all other dogs varying from the smallest to the bigggest. Her gentle nature towards animals is her biggest feature as she shows care and thought to everything. She owns her own pet which is her dream and favourite pet; a golden retriever. Chloe loves taking her dog for various short/long walks and adventure and takes her parents family dogs out aswell. She welcomes friends and family’s dogs to her own home, taking them in and looking after them whenever they need someone to look after their pets.”

“Alison and her partner were so lovely with regualar updates and they really took Care of Benjamin and Alba, plenty of walks and lots of cuddle time. Highly recommend them.”

“Ashley is a woman with a kind hearted soul and a deep passion and love for all animals. She cares for each and every dog as if they were her own and shows the love and care personal to each and everyone.”

“Myles is a very dedicated, hardworking, reliable young lad, me and multiple members of my family have previously used his services. Myles is absolutely fantastic with our family dogs and is the only person I trust.”

“Adam often walks our dog and he comes back tired and ready to chill. He loves dogs and takes great care of ours when out walking our dog is so excited to see him so he’s obviously made a great bond. Thanks Adam”

“Fabulous service, both Frankie and Merlin have been extremely well looked after with lots of walks and we’re clearly settled while we were away. Jane sent some photos while we were away and both looked really chilled. The house was absolutely immaculate upon return, we will definitely use Jane and Lee again!”

“Rebecca has looked after my 2 spaniels before and regularly has took them on walks. She is great with the dogs and always takes them on lovely long walks.”

About: I have grown up with dogs and have experience of looking after and handling a variety of breeds and size of dogs. I am able to walk, feed and administer medication. I am a university student looking for part time work. I would love to lend a hand to busy pet owners by providing either walks or home visits. I am available on weekdays (subject to availability) and weekends. I can allow the dog time to get used to me and hopefully build up a good relationship with them by regularly seeing them and taking them for walks

“Hollie has looked after my 2 year old labrador multiple times since he was a puppy. She is conscientious and excellent at following his usual routine, making sure he has his meals and enrichment activities as normal as well as following his training schedule. Hollie is great at keeping me updated with regular photos and messages about what she and Henry have been up to and it is clear that she enjoys spending time with him and puts a lot of effort into caring for him as if he was her own dog.”

About: I have owned, and loved 3 dogs ranging in sizes and breed. I have loved them in every stage of life from puppies to less mobile and cared for them just as much as anyone could I am a student currently so am very flexible with my hours. Not only do I miss my dogs dearly but am in need of the exercise and stimulation myself! I can easily crate dogs and am not afraid to get a bit muddy if necessary to make sure your dog is well looked after and as safe as possible.

About: Hi! Me and my partner have a very friendly and dog-loving pomsky, Kai, who is just desperate for some doggy company on his walks. We are therefore available for walks, doggy day-care and overnight care for other friendly and sociable dogs! We both work completely from home, for the university, and any fur baby would never be left alone for extended periods. We live in a house with an enclosed garden, on the outskirts of Durham and we fully take advantage of the beautiful countryside walks around us. Being a husky cross, Kai is quite high energy so goes out on at least an hour walk each day, but we venture further afield on weekends. Any visiting dog can do the same (or can be scooped up and carried by me if little legs get tired!). Besides Kai, I myself have had a (somewhat shy and clingy!) Cockapoo whereas my partner, Duncan, has experience raising a boisterous and energetic Patterdale-Staffy cross, so we have experience with a range of doggy personalities and love them all!! Both Duncan and I work fully from home, so we are available throughout the day for walks and tuggy. We can set our own work schedule so we tend to take a couple of hours out of the day to give our dog a long walk at lunch time. We have an enclosed garden so your dog will be able to sniff about (and help Kai with his quest to dig up our entire garden...). We also have a large dog crate, if this is desired.

About: I’ve always lived with animals. At home I have three dogs and three cats, I miss them so much! I’m very active and at home I go running with my dog Atlas. We recently raised a Bernese mountain dog puppy, she’s a big girl now! I’m currently a student at Durham university, so I have plenty of free time for pups. In general I can be free most evenings (advance notice please!), and can also do dog walking during the day time. I’m very flexible, so just let me know what you need. I have a small fenced garden and live near lots of lovely woody walks. My house is quiet and calm. I love taking pets out exploring, plenty of walks and cuddles on offer!

“I can highly recommend Sophia. She is reliable and trustworthy. Sophia is a natural with my dog (pretty playful labrador!) and takes of him as if he were her own. She is sensible and thoughtful, and for example, if he decides to roll in the muddiest of puddles, I will return home to find him hosed down and towel dried. I recommend Sophia without reservation.”

“Jolina is amazing with dogs any size. she looked after my dog for a couple of days while i was away. He got so spoilt. he got so much exercise and mental stimulation and even learned a new trick. she knew exactly what to do and got to know my dog pretty well! i really recommend her. she is very confident”
