I am currently studying an MSc at Newcastle and unfortunately don't have the time to dedicate full time to having my own a pet, so borrowing yours is the next best thing! I was raised around animals (horses, cats and dogs), and they are a really important part of my life. In more recent years, I have been making a habit of dog and cat sitting for my friends and family. I love all breeds but am particularly partial to big dogs and the two dogs I am closest to in my life are a german shephard and a lab.
I am based in Whitley Bay but am regularly in Newcastle for university. I am not currently offering boarding at my own house, but I'd love to do some dog walking and house checks! My usual spots are on the beach, Marden quarry, or potentially somewhere slightly further afield in my van for long term pups to keep things exciting!&nbsp;Some weeks I will be more available than others due to my university course, but drop me a message and I will try and accommodate wherever possible! 


About me:Hello! My name is Laura and I am a huge animal lover. I've had animals in my life since I was two years old, growing up with a dog, fish, hamsters and guinea pigs. Animal care always has been and always will be my biggest passion, nothing motivates me more than helping give an animal a happy, healthy, fun-filled life.Unfortunately due to my housing circumstances I am not allowed a dog of my own at the moment, so over the last 3 years I have ventured into caring for other people's pets via dog walking, house sitting, and home visits, and I've loved every minute of it! It really has been incredible to meet new dogs and watch them warm up to me. It's always a rewarding experience, and I'm hoping this app will help me meet even more fluffy friends.My services:I am available for walks and home visits between 11am and 7pm every day.My walk rates are £16 for half an hour of walking with one dog, and £7 for each additional dog. If your dog requires a longer walk I can do one hour for £25 (plus the £7 rate for additional pets). I keep all dogs on leash during walks and can walk them anywhere in your local area, if they have a specific route they enjoy just let me know!&nbsp;Home visit rates are £12 for one half hour visit or £20 for either one hour long visit or two half an hour visits in one day. Home visits include making sure water bowls are topped up, letting dogs out into the yard/garden for toileting, feeding if required, and playing with and giving your pet attention and enrichment.I also offer house sitting for £38 per night, and £20 per night for each additional pet. I am able to spend most of the day in your home/with your pet and stay there overnight, however I would need to return home at least once a day to feed my guinea pigs so your pet would have to be able to be left alone for an hour or two each day. During house sitting I aim to follow the pets' regular routine based on all the information I receive from the owner. I will also send daily updates and photos to the owner so they can see how their pet is getting on. All walks and daily requirements are included in the price.Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any queries or would like to book anything, I'd love to hear from you and your pets! ️

About My Self: With a decade-long tenure in the legal industry within esteemed organizations, I embarked on an unconventional journey driven by my profound love for animals. Transitioning from a legal career to pursuing my genuine passion, I embraced the role of a professional dog trainer and boarder. Over four fulfilling years, this shift stands as the most rewarding decision I've made. My dedication to working with animals transcends mere profession; it's a soul-enriching endeavour that brings unparalleled joy and fulfilment. Fueled by an unwavering passion for dogs and their behaviour, I remain perpetually eager to expand my knowledge in this field. I firmly uphold the belief that with proper training, every dog can evolve into a loving and devoted companion to their owners.My commitment revolves around delivering exceptional care to the cherished furry friends of my clients, ensuring their well-being and fostering happiness and vitality. My goal is to curate a positive and delightful experience for both the dogs and their loving pet parents. Equipped with comprehensive expertise and skills, I adeptly handle the training and boarding of dogs across breeds, ages, and sizes. Whether it's providing a secure environment for a shy or fearful dog or instilling obedience through training, I approach each task with abundant patience and nurturing care.

Regarding home security measures during house sitting, I take various precautions to ensure the safety and security of the property:
Securing Entry Points: I double-check that all doors and windows are securely locked before bedtime or upon leaving the house. I'm vigilant about any signs of forced entry or suspicious activity in the area.
Regular Check-ins: I make periodic visits throughout the day and vary my routine to inspect the property, ensuring everything remains secure and in order.
Communication with Owners: I maintain open communication with the owners, updating them regularly on the status of their home and any relevant information.
For dog walks, I choose routes and locations based on safety, suitability, and the dog's comfort. I opt for various places such as local parks, nearby trails, spacious walkways, or designated dog-friendly areas within the neighbourhood. These areas offer opportunities for dogs to explore, exercise, socialize, and enjoy their outdoor time while ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for them.


I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them have grown into my adulthood. My experience in pet care is from having my own since they were pups. I’ve had experience with a lot of different breeds throughout my life with my own pets or with family/friends pets. 
I have a free schedule as I am currently on annual leave which leaves me with plenty of time on my hands. It gives me time for consistent walks, snuggles and play sessions. 
My home is safe and secure with a high fenced yard. I have two friendly boys that can keep your fur baby company. I have two different sized cages, one small and one large if needed as well as baby gates. I have built a dog room under my stairs with lots of blankets and toys which my 2 boys love to chill in.

A typical day with me will be spent exploring new areas even the muddy ones which would stimulate your dog. With plenty of new smells to engage in your dog will be home and tired leaving an easy night for yourself. There will be lots of play time inside and outside with plenty of cuddles in between. 

Let me know if your dog has any medical needs or behaviour issues. No dog is too big or small. I have looked after and walked plenty of different breeds..

I’ve spent my entire life living and caring for animals. For the first time since our Doberman past away in 2023 I’ve found myself without a dog and so am now in a position to help others look after there’s. I know and appreciate the importance of finding someone reliable who you feel comfortable with taking care of your pet. Grateful to help.
.We have a spacious living room with a pet friendly couch. Large enough for a basset hound to stretch on. We live two minutes from Cullercoats beach where we like to go for dog walks. A walk in shower for ease of use washes for those messier days if required/wanted by yourself. 
.Just like people, our canine buddies all have their own needs. I appreciate how important these are and so please let me know. I will remember to ask what preferences your pet has in terms of play, snacks, likes and dislikes, doos and donts.
