Patricia and Simon were fantastic pet sitters for Juno. We got daily photo updates, the communication was amazing, and they were flexible with timing with our travel plans. We felt so great knowing that Juno was in responsible hands while we were away. They even went above and beyond to ensure our apartment was in perfect condition when we got home :) Would recommend them and have them take care of Juno again.
Carolina was a great sitter, my dog loved her, and she sent me regular updates, which put my mind at ease.

Reliable, professional, knowledgeable and friendly dog care from a person who genuinely loves dogs.
Marvin my 10 year old cavalier has always gone into kennels. But as he has got older he wouldn't settle. He has problem with his ears and gets quite stressed. Doggie digs Durham were recommended. Marvin went to meet Carol and Malcolm then had an overnight stay , where he settled immediately. He has just stayed for a week and I couldn't be happier. He has had loads of cuddles and affection and has been cared for so well. Just as he would of at home. I have a vet nurse who cleans his ears regularly and she went one day . She said Marvin was so relaxed with Carol and Malcolm and they are so lovely with him. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend them. Gill Wilde. May 2024
Excellent day care for our Border collie whilst staying in Durham. Highly recommend and hope to be seeing Carol and family again.
couldn't ask for a better day care. My pup loves going here and she's so well looked after. Doesn't even look back at me when I drop her off or when she's picked up. Doggy digs is like a home away from home and we look forward to using this service for years to come. Carole and Malcolm are lovely people. Can't recommend highly enough! I would happily board my pup here
KoKo loved her trip to see Carol and Malcolm and was getting cuddles as soon as she arrived. She and Bud palled up- Bud chased his ball Ko chased Bud. I was reassured by the behaviour course and dog first aid especially as Grey's can be a bit accident prone. She is booked in already for her next trip
Mack loves his daycare, he gets so excited when we pull up & happily runs in, Malcolm & Carol treat him like one of their own, it's home from home & I can totally relax, 100% recommend.
Excellent first rate highly recommend, very understanding of dogs needs
Gail has looked after our dog on several occasions when we have been away on long days out or on short breaks and I would not hesitate to 100% recommend her services to other pet owners. She treats our dog like one of her own. She is a very reliable, intuitive and responsible person and she develops close relationships with every animal she cares for. She is very flexible and tailors the care so that our dog has always had the most home from home experience possible e.g. feeding raw food and providing the same sleeping arrangements. My dog knows her now and is always excited to see her. I wouldn't leave him with anyone else.
I have 2 staffies, Marlow and Juno and they both absolutely love Gail. I've used Gail's services on a number of occasions now while on short breaks or long days away and I feel fully reassured that they are very happy and well looked after whilst in her care. She does such a great job, is reliable, caring and very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend her services.
Gail is always on time and has been really flexible with additional days, when we have asked with minimal notice. Willow always comes back tired and happy after her walk and gets very excited as soon as she sees Gail or even hears her name. I am very happy to give very positive feedback to Gemini Pet Care, as they have really stepped up to help out when needed.
Do not trust this woman!!.we booked her to look after our dogs, 3 days into our holiday abroad, she decided she did not want to do it anymore and came up with a whole pile of lies and excuses which were pathetic! She emailed us telling us that ON THAT DAY was her last visits! I literally have noone else to look after my fur babies, and have no other option to get the next available flight home from malta, which is costing us a fortune, due to COVID, on top of loosing out on our family holiday, devastated children to answer to, and the stress that is unbelievable, all because she decided she didn't want to do it anymore so so unprofessional...find somebody with experience, who you can trust and rely on....THIS IS NOT THE PERSON BELIEVE ME! I would also like to note, that I have everything on CCTV cameras.....
Gail was brilliant! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, friendly and flexible pet care.
We have a stubborn and sometimes difficult french bulldog, but Emma is amazing with him! Upon our first meeting/consultation, it was clear that things would be done very professionally. We've never had any issues and Emma is very good at communicating. Our bulldog loves her and we trust her. Everything you want from someone coming into your home and looking after your pet. Would highly recommend.
Superb service. Used Emma to look after my cat while away on holiday and was over the moon at how caring she was. I didn't have to pester her with messages to see how he was as she contacted me to put my mind at rest. She did everything required and more and I felt very comfortable having her come into my home while away. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.
We can't speak highly enough of Emma. She looks after our two 🐓🐓, two🐰🐰 and our🐈. It gives us complete peace of mind for holidays. We know that she loves our critters as we do and they'll receive the same care and attention as we give them. She's honest, reliable and part of our family. …
Booked cosy care due to a holiday and i didn't want to put my 2 cats, Bauble and Tinsel into a cattery. They are very shy with people they don't know, but I needn't have worried with cosy care. The cats took to the carer straight away, and judging by the photos i was sent, they loved her!! Will certainly be using the service in the future as I know they will be happy and well looked after. Thank you xx
The best care you could ask for your pet! Excellent service and always accommodating to your needs. 5⭐️
Excellent and thoughtful service; they really do well in looking after your pets.
Fantastic pet sitter, lovely and friendly and very knowledgeable 👍 …
Unreal how much these care for year pets
I would highly recommend Cosy Care
My dogs absolutely love North East Tail Trails. Gemma is awesome. The dogs are absolutely knackered after walking with her. Gemma makes sure that the dogs are properly walked and not fetching a ball for an hour in a park. They're taken on adventures and to the best locations. They're also taken into the comfort of her own home for overnights. I wouldn't take my dogs anywhere else.
Gemma is a gem, she adores dogs and they love her back! Our dog goes here for his holidays and it is a home away from home! Best time ever
I genuinely couldn’t recommend a better dog sitter / walker if I’d have tried to build an ideal one myself! Harvey had the absolute best time with Gemma and co. He spent an entire MONTH with the NETT family and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone!
Would not hesitate to recommend Gemma to my family and friends, our spaniel Jack stayed the weekend and we got regular updates of his day and he loved the pack walks ❤️ put my mind at ease knowing he was happy and well looked after, thankyou again for his stay and hope to have him stay again soon 😊 …
Colleen has taken my dog for walks 5 days per week since he was very young. She has socialised him and he now interacts really well with other dogs. He walks beautifully on the lead and his recall is great. Thank you Colleen for all you have done for Bear!
Highly recommended dog walking service by Colleen, professional , caring , honest and reliable. We cant thank her enough for looking after our crazy vizsla dog and boarding her in her own house with her own pets when needed. Our dog is happy and socialising with other dogs while we are at work and she gets the full care she needs when we are on holiday. No problem, no hassle and we certainly have a very happy dog whilst in Colleen’s care Ava&Graham
Colleen has been amazing caring for Poppy while I have been on holiday, I would definitely recommend her. It makes going away on holiday more enjoyable knowing your pets are being well cared for. Thank you so much Colleen I will be using your pet sitting services again.
We needed a dog walker when our work patterns changed a couple of years ago- Colleen walks Max every day and we can't praise her enough-she's enthusiastic and very knowledgeable but above all trustworthy. Max loves going out with his doggy 'friends' and it's huge peace of mind for us that he is safe whilst socialising and exercising. She is very flexible and swaps or changes for us if needed. We can highly recommend.
Colleen from walk the line was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so pleased I have found her. She is very professional and helpful. She came out to meet our cat Tilly before we went away. This really helped as it gave me the confidence that Tilly would recognise her when she popped in to feed her. She updated me over the weekend with photos and videos, which put me at ease. When we came home, Tilly was very settled. Within a day, we had already booked Colleen for our next trip away 😁
Walk the Line dog walking services is top class. Colleen provides absolutely top notch service which is excellent value for money and and she is always contactable. Maisie loves her walks and even the mention of Colleen’s name gets her excited and her tail wagging. We’ve been with Colleen for over a year and throughout the duration of this period we’ve always felt Maisie is in safe hands whilst getting long, enjoyable walks. Walk the Line is a highly professional service and I would recommend anyone looking for dog walks to join with Colleen. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put in with taking care of Maisie!
Colleen is an exceptional dog walker! She's always on time, maintains great communication, and ensures that Maisie has a wonderful time during each walk. Colleen's friendly and organised approach gives us complete peace of mind, knowing our beloved dog is in safe and caring hands. We couldn't be happier with her services!
We're over the moon that we discovered Colleen at Walk the Line! Our little fur baby loves seeing Colleen and going on walkies with her. She has helped our little girl build her confidence with a lovely group of doggie friends she can play with each walk. Colleen is great at keeping in touch with photos and videos of her walkies too. She is incredibly organised and excellent at communicating with us. We know our dog will receive the best of care everytime we hand her off to Colleen. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, punctual, reliable and friendly dog walker x
Absolutely brilliant dog walker. My little pug absolutely adores Colleen and gets sooo excited when she picks him up. So much so he waits for her van to pull up and seems to know when she's here. My pug can be a little worky ticket sometimes however working with Colleen he is so much more confident with other dogs and I trust her so much with him and you can tell she loves the dogs so much and bonus I get regular videos and pictures of him on his walks! Since walking with Colleen my pugs behaviour has massively improved too. Will always use walk the line and really really good prices!
Colleen walked our dog Rosa for nearly a year (only stopped because we moved away) and she was absolutely fantastic. Our dog can be quite nervous, but Colleen took really good care of her and Rosa always came back tired and happy! I’d really recommend Walk The Line if you’re looking for a caring and reliable walker :)
We decided it would be good for our dog Spot to have one day a week to interact with other dogs. She has so much fun with Tracey and burns up all her energy playing with her new doggy friends. Always sleeps well when she gets back home. Tracey obviously loves the dogs in her care we wouldn't take Spot anywhere else.
Well what a fabulous couple. We didn't want to put our pooch into kennels so searched the web for a dog sitter and came across Tracy and Fari. Felt really comfortable after the first meeting and arranged a 9 night stay with them (for our dog not us !! ) They have a genuine affinity with dogs which is clear to see. My husband hadn't got back home before we had a video clip which really did put our minds at rest and I especially felt happy that our precious pet was going to be very well looked after and go on holiday without worrying. We had regular video clips throughout our holiday and I used to look forward to viewing them as we did miss him as he is such a big part of our family. We were blown away how happy he seemed and were concerned he wouldn't want to come home !! Tracy is very experienced in looking after dogs and even trained Fudge to catch treats which we have kept up ! ! I do not normally recommend but on this occasion I have raved about Tracy and Fari. We won't hesitate to book again in future .. thank you for looking after our Fudgey !!!
Oh my Tracey is amazing, this was my dog first time and at 11 he is set in his ways a bit, but was so happy staying here, he is booked in again in May, Tracey sent me videos of him, really put my mind at rest that he was in a safe, secure and loving environment, would definitely recommend.
A brilliant place, I wouldn’t go anywhere else and neither would Meg, she loves being with Tracy.
Tracy is fantastic with our dogs. Great service
Thank you!
I can't recommend Sarah from Square Care highly enough. She is flexible, responsive to messages and tries to accommodate us wherever she can. We use the dog walking, dog boarding and cat visit services and our pets love Sarah! The dogs are always happy with her, and she sends us regular photo updates so we are reassured. Excellent service, thank you
I’ve been using square care for about 6 months and Sarah is great. My dog isn’t the easiest of dogs and he needs a solo walk which is no problem for Sarah. She’s also flexible enough to accommodate any short notice change to walks I have needed in the past due to shift changes. 100% would recommend 🙂 …
Sarah is wonderful with my cocker spaniel, from the first he met her he has been completely at ease with her. Every time she come to see him he gets so excited to spend time with her. Definitely 5 star rating and we would recommend her to anyone. Thank you.
Sarah walks my 2 dogs on a regular basis, she always respects my wishes with the girls and has never let me down, She is trusted with a key and always leave house secure. Recommended by myself and girls.
We have been using Sarah at square care for near enough a year now, and shes amazing with our dogs, shes very accommodating and never let's us down and the dogs love her....would highly recommend sarah to anyone....
Dogs are happy we are happy what more can we say 😊👍 …
Fantastic care my dog Titch has been there a few times and he loves it he cry’s to get in the house so you know he is happy thanks Bev
