Choosing the right pet sitter can feel like a big decision—after all, you’re trusting someone with a member of your family. As a professional pet carer with over 30 years of hands-on experience, I know what truly matters when you’re looking for dependable, high-quality care for your furry friend.

Here are the five key things to look for in a reliable pet sitter—and how Chrysidis Pet Care meets every one of them:

1. Experience You Can Trust

Your sitter should understand animal behavior, health needs, and how to respond in unexpected situations. At Chrysidis Pet Care, I bring decades of knowledge caring for dogs of all temperaments, ages, and energy levels—so your pet is in calm, confident hands.

2. A Safe, Pet-Friendly Environment

Always ask where your pet will be staying. My home at 305 Brighton Road, Gateshead, is clean, safe, and fully pet-friendly—no cages, no stress, just a peaceful environment where animals feel at home.

3. Personal Attention

Pets thrive on routine and familiarity. I personally handle every boarding, walk, and daycare session—so your pet builds trust with one consistent, caring face.

4. Clear Services and Pricing

Look for transparency. At Chrysidis Pet Care, I offer:

Boarding at £24/night Doggy Day Care at £19/day Dog Walking (after 4PM) at £11/walk No hidden fees, no surprises—just quality care at fair prices.

5. Great Communication

You should feel at ease leaving your pet behind. I make it a priority to keep you updated with texts or photos and answer any questions promptly.

Whether you’re off to work or away for the weekend, your pet deserves care you can count on. If you’re in the Gateshead area, I’d love to show you what truly reliable pet sitting looks like.
