Hi I'm Alex. I love long dog walks in the woods and looking after my dogs. I walk 5 miles daily with the dogs. I live with Dizzy, a 3-year-old cocker spaniel, and Dexter and Ziggy, who are 7-year-old Boston terriers. We regularly have friends' dogs staying with us, and we are looking forward to making new friends.&nbsp;
I walk 3 dogs at least twice daily. On occasions, I walk 4. Each dog is treated separately for what they need. I am skilled in dog body language and behaviour.&nbsp;
We would prefer to take neutered dogs but understand if you have a young dog that isn't.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Happy to walk your dog on their own. Or with all or part of our pack. On or off lead it's your preference. My walks are for an hour. Home visits 30 mins
I provide poo bags and treats on walks and always make sure there is plenty of water available.
For boarding and daycare, it is important for all the dogs to get on, so we will need a trial session of a couple of hours with our boys to see if they are compatible. Your dog will not be left alone. I will be with them for the majority of the time. They can even accompany Dizzy and I to bed. We have space 🩵
Looking forward to hearing from you and meeting your furbabies

Experienced pet sitter, used to take care of dogs, cats, and rabbits from friends and family. Lived in an farm for a few years, used to take care of animals on a daily basis, feed them, love them and care for them. I am motivated around pets, they make me happy. I love to teach and play with them. I can provide services such as taking care of small to medium sized dogs, take them for walks, take care of them on my free time at owners house as well. I will be available at your service to take care of your lovely pet at most of the time. I don't have experience in vaccinating or any medical emergencies the pet may need, I only know how to administer basic first aid, in case it might get injured. With dogs, I usually go out for a walk and try to play as much as possible, to increase the dogs productivity and happiness. I live with my partner in a 2 bed house/bungalow, that has a lot of space and freedom for your pet. I am looking forward for my next service. Thank you! :)

Hi! I’m a caring and experienced pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals. I grew up surrounded by pets – dogs, cats, and just about every small animal you can think of! My parents have a Lhasa Apso and a Yorkshire Terrier who I miss dearly since moving out, which is one of the reasons I love pet sitting so much.I’m originally from Poland and moved to the UK over 12 years ago to study – I hold a degree in psychology and speak both English and Polish fluently. Alongside my academic background, I’ve also completed Level 2 and Level 3 Animal Care qualifications at Barnsley College, which strengthened my understanding of animal welfare, behaviour, and safe handling. I’ve cared for dogs and cats both personally and professionally, starting in Poland and continuing here in the UK. My experience includes dog walking, pet sitting, and looking after animals with special needs, including administering medication and following specific care routines. I’ve worked with a wide variety of breeds and sizes, and I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved in my care. Whether it’s a fun walk, a calm cuddle, or keeping to their feeding and health routine, I treat every pet as if they were my own.I’ve done professional pet care back in Poland and have continued looking after pets here in the UK. I’ve provided in-home boarding for a week with a large Mastiff-type dog and a blind Shih Tzu with health needs – giving me valuable experience with different breeds, sizes, and conditions.I’ve also walked dogs for neighbours and friends, and cared for my auntie’s four Yorkies regularly. I’m happy to follow routines, give meds, play, walk, and offer lots of love. Every animal deserves kindness, and I treat them like family.For safety reasons, I prefer to care for fully vaccinated pets. I’d also love to know your pet’s name, breed, size, and needs in advance. Trial meet-ups are always welcome to make sure your pet feels comfortable and happy with me!

My name is Charlotte and I have 2 house rabbits, have done for 10 years now. They are complex pets who have completely different needs to cats and dogs. I am patient, kind and gentle. One of my bunnies, Crumpet has to have medication twice a day in his mouth so I'm very confident handling and administrating oral medicine.&nbsp;
I love all animals though, big and small. I've been a vegetarian since I was 12 and have always have pets. I had 2 family dogs until I moved out and I got my first house rabbit.
I think part of pet sitting is also house sitting, I am clean and tidy and I'd never want you to come home to a messy home so I tidy up after myself, and your pets if need be.
When I moved to Newcastle away from family I struggled to find someone to trust with our fluffy babies but I found someone through Pawshake so I thought I'd do the same for others!
Please reach out to see if I'm available for your dates.


Hello! My name is Thea and I offer a pet sitting service specifically for cats, where I will visit your home to look after your cat(s) while you are away. I am based in Chester-le-Street, but can travel as far as Durham, Newcastle, or Bishop Auckland if needed. The duration of single visits is about 1 hour, but you can book me for double visits which means I will come twice a day (perfect if your kitties are used to being fed in the morning and evening), or overnight which means I will spend the full 24 hours around your cat, which I know can be reassuring to some people whose feline friends require an extra amount of attention. I have been around pets my entire life, and have owned a cat (on occasion several cats) since the age of 7. I know from experience how difficult it can be to leave your pet when going away, so I would love to help ease this process and make both you and your feline friend's experience apart as comfortable and stress-free as possible by providing them with the utmost care and attention during your time away. I know that every cat is different and always take the time to get to know the cat's own set of needs and ways of communicating. I have previous experience looking after kitties, including shy and aloof cats who tend to warm to me in their own way. If you choose me as your next cat sitter I will make sure your kitty is well taken care of, and will send daily pictures and updates of our time together. I offer daily visits to your home so that your cat can feel comfortable in its own environment, and can also do overnight stays. I am usually available in the morning and early afternoon, but can be made available other times of day if needed. I am also happy to water plants and collect mail. I look forwards to hearing from you!:)


Hi! I'm Ellie! Originally from Nottingham but moved back to Newcastle August 2023. I have two children, two cats and one dog. I love to keep busy and always love to pet a cat or dog in the street (yes you'll see me stop everything to pet them). I have grown up with cats and dogs all my life and absolutely adore other animals. My brother even has a bearded dragon which I love too! I'm available most days before, during and after school run times. I will keep you updated with pictures, messages with any concerns of behaviour ,eating or toilet issues. Nothing is a bother. I'd treat your pets how I'd like mine treated.&nbsp;The experience I have is close friends and family, but want to take it to the next step in giving more options for others who need to be away from their home and make sure their pets are well looked after.&nbsp;My services include : cat sitting, small animal sitting, and dog sitting. This includes giving medication also as I have experience with a diabetic cat. I'm currently unavailable for dog walking but can visit dogs for playtime and feeding time. Pop me a message for more info ️

Hi, my name is Carlos. I am 39 years old and come from Hong Kong. I am an animal lover. I like to spend time with them. I have over 15 years of pets (Dogs, Cats, squirrels) experience. I have had a lot of breeds of dogs like Pomeranian, Pekingese, Poodle, Bull Terrier, and Collie. Me and my wife are doing pet sitter jobs for over ten regular families. We take care of their dogs when needed. 
In Hong Kong, we used to do a lot of foster volunteer jobs, we took off the animals and healed them before we found an adopter for them. 
Me and my wife moved to the UK in 2021 with 4 dogs. We are living in an estate which is quiet and it has an inside garden. But we usually walk our dogs outside. There are a few great parks nearby. Our neighbors are pet-friendly, and most of them have dogs. 2 of our dogs passed away last year as they were too old, one was 15 and another one was 17. So we are having two dogs right now which are FaFa and Sunny. They are absolutely pets and humans friendly. But they won't play with other dogs because of their age. 
I am providing dog walks service mainly, as our house is not usually available because of some dogs may be on boarding. But I will update the schedule. 
For dog walks or day care. I can only accept one family dogs at the same time slot. 
About the dog walk, I like to bring them to explore new places. Also, I have enough experience to handle their behavior to make the walk safe. About the walk, safety is always the priority. On leash is a must unless the place has a gate and is not close to the transport road. 
P.S. Before the walk, I need to talk with their owner, because I need to understand what they like e.g. dog friendly? Any injury record before? Any food allergies? I will read all the necessary like different treats, backup leash, clean water, etc. 
Attention! I will take a lot of beautiful photos for your pets. 

My name is Christina.

I provide boarding and day care when you can't be there.
I absolutely love all animals and I have over 15 years of personal and professional experience with animals. 
I love animals and would love to help out when you need your fur-babies looked after. I have a lot of experience with dogs with high energy. Your fur-babies would be in good hands. I am reliable and trustworthy, available any day of the week and will try to work around you where possible. I can do walks last minute and am always happy to spend the night with your pet if you can't be there. I am now happy to say I’m boarding animals - so what ever you need, I’m happy to help. If you have any questions, I would be more than happy to answer your concerns. I do have small children so all animals staying need to be ok with kids and I never leave the animals alone with the children.

I have a large house with plenty of room and a medium size garden.

I’m home full time so your animals wouldn’t be left alone unless going to the shops. I can provide toilet breaks whenever they want to go.

I have a large house with medium size garden that is secure and fenced in. I have small children in the home and the environment is a typical family home.

I am home full time so am able to provide unconditional attention to your pets. They are able to go to the toilet whenever they need too.


Hi, I’m Lisa! I’ve always had a love for animals, from family pets to my rescue dog Jesse, and I enjoy caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I offer mobile pet care services including dog walking, pop-in visits, and in-home care for cats and small animals.

For dog walking, I tailor each walk to your pet’s energy and needs. Typical walks last 30–60 minutes in local parks, trails, and quiet streets around Stanley and Consett. I handle everything from calm, elderly dogs to energetic pups, and I can accommodate shy or nervous dogs with patience and positive reinforcement. I make sure each dog is exercised, happy, and safe, and I can walk multiple dogs from the same household if they are comfortable together.

During pop-in visits, I follow your instructions exactly, whether that’s feeding, giving medication, cleaning litter trays, or spending quality playtime with your pet. I’m happy to learn additional skills in pet first aid or administering medications to provide even more care and peace of mind.
Some examples of my experience:

Comforting a nervous rescue dog on its first walk outside
Giving multiple dogs from one household a structured walk while keeping them safe and happy
Adjusting routines for elderly pets with limited mobility

I work flexibly around my schedule, making it easy to fit walks and visits at times that suit you. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away.
