Hi, I’m Lou! I’m a recent University of Leeds graduate and a lifelong animal lover based in the Newcastle/Gosforth area. Before heading off for a ski season in France this November, I’m looking to spend my time doing something I genuinely enjoy—caring for animals.

I’ve grown up with pets and currently have both a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs. Although I don’t have years of professional pet-sitting experience, I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for my own pets and helping friends and family with theirs. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll always care for them as if they were my own.

I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting and house sitting. Dog walks can be tailored to your pet’s age, energy level and routine, whether they enjoy a gentle stroll or a longer adventure. During drop-in visits, I’ll provide fresh food and water, playtime, company and plenty of affection. For pet or house sitting, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, making sure they feel settled, comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have complete peace of mind.

I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes and ages, and I’m happy to look after other small pets too. If your pet has any specific routines, dietary requirements or behavioural needs, I’ll carefully follow your instructions to make sure they receive the best possible care. If they require routine medication, I’m happy to administer it as long as I’m given clear instructions beforehand.

I understand that some pets can be nervous or anxious when their owners are away, so I’ll always be patient, calm and allow them to settle at their own pace without forcing interaction. My priority is making sure they feel safe, secure and comfortable in their own environment.

In the unlikely event of an emergency, I’ll stay calm, contact you immediately and follow any emergency instructions you’ve provided. If necessary, I’ll seek veterinary assistance straight away to make sure your pet receives the care they need.

I’m friendly, reliable and organised, with over seven years of experience working in hospitality, where I’ve developed strong communication skills, responsibility and attention to detail. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away, while giving you confidence that they’re in caring and reliable hands.

I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members!

Hi! I’m Ece, and I’ve loved cats all my life. I grew up with them, currently have a sweet and friendly cat of my own, and used to take care of my neighbors’ cats when I was younger. Being around animals brings me peace and happiness. they truly feel like family to me.

Whether you’re traveling or just need extra support, I offer loving, reliable care for your furry friend.

What I Offer:

Home Visits: I can visit your home once or twice a day to feed your cat, clean the litter box, play, cuddle, and make sure everything is okay.

Daily updates, photos, and full attention guaranteed.

Why I Do This:

Caring for cats makes me feel relaxed and fulfilled. I love getting to know each cat’s unique personality and making them feel safe and happy. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and I’ll always treat yours like my own.


Hello my name is Athena. I am a homemaker and have 2 children, 1 cat, 1 chicken and 2 fishes at home. I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way! I grew up with cats and have been taking care of them since I was a child, so I’m very familiar with their unique personalities, routines, and “cat attitudes.” I used to have a cat which was 20 years-old life. At the end of her life, I took care of all the medicine care such as subcutaneous injection and given medication etc. My experience of pet sitting was home foster for my friend's 2 cats. I put them in my living room area and provided a tent as a shelter. It made them easy to feel safe.   
I’ve also helped look after a lovely 14-year-old dog, which taught me a lot about patience, gentle handling, and giving extra love to senior pets who need it. I walked my dog, did dog grooming by myself.
The main responsibilities of care include: feeding, changing water, cleaning the litter box, playing with the them, and if it's a dog, taking it for a half-hour walk, watering the plants, cleaning up trash, collecting mail, etc. Free visits are available to understand your animal's needs, once the booking is confirmed.
I truly enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their humans are away. I’ll treat your pet like my own—with lots of care, attention, and affection  All my family members love aniamls a lot. &nbsp;

Hi! I’m Roxy, a lifelong dog lover who has grown up with dogs for as long as I can remember. They have always been part of my family, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I recently moved to Newcastle for work, which means I’m no longer close to my family dogs, and I really miss having them around. Joining Pawshake is the perfect way for me to spend time doing something I genuinely love while helping owners feel confident that their pets are in caring hands.
Growing up with dogs has given me experience caring for different personalities and energy levels. I understand that every dog is unique—some love long adventures and playing fetch, while others prefer a slower-paced stroll and lots of cuddles. I’m happy to adapt to your dog’s routine, ensuring they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.
Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are always my priority. I always keep dogs on their lead unless instructed otherwise and it’s safe to do so, pay close attention during walks, and follow any routines or training you have in place. If your dog has any special requirements, medication, or preferences, I’m more than happy to accommodate them. In the unlikely event of an emergency, I’ll contact you immediately and follow your instructions while making sure your pet is safe.
I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. Walks typically last 30–60 minutes, depending on your dog’s age, energy levels, and your preferences. During visits, I’ll provide fresh food and water, toilet breaks, playtime, companionship, plenty of affection, and regular photo updates so you can see how your pet is getting on.
I’m flexible on weekends and available most afternoons and evenings during the week, making it easy to fit around your schedule.
I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet because they’re family. I’ll treat every dog as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and lots of love. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged best friend! 


As a dog walker, I'm passionate about providing exceptional care. While my experience may be developing, I've cared for dogs of various breeds and ages, including my own pet cockapoo willow.&nbsp;
My walks typically last for 40 minutes to an hour but could go on for longer, tailored to each dog's energy levels – I can handle energetic breeds with playful games and longer routes and provide a slower pace for senior dogs.&nbsp;
A typical visit includes a safe, enjoyable walk, fresh water, and positive reinforcement. In emergencies, I would immediately inform the owner or call emergency services if needed.&nbsp;
My goal is to ensure a safe, fun, and enriching experience, building trust with both pets and their owners. I would love to build a bond between your dog and have consistent, fun walks with your pet! I'm also happy to provide updates and photos during walks, so you can see your furry friend having a great time. I always prioritize the safety and well-being of the dogs in my care, ensuring they're comfortable and happy throughout our time together.&nbsp;
I look forward to meeting your dog and creating a positive experience!&nbsp;
I will always put your dogs safety first meaning if specific instructions are given I will follow them!! Such as if near water i will keep dog on short lead to ensure there is no harm to the dog and many more situations like that.&nbsp;
If your dog struggles obeying or if a dog displays behavioural issues, I will stay calm, prioritize safety, and immediately notify the owner while following their guidance or seeking professional help
I am free all day every day this holiday, when educational hours come back in I will be busy until 3:45.&nbsp;
I am great with multiple dogs and are great at handling them all together. I love dogs from big to small ️
