When it comes to finding a trusted dog carer in Gateshead, experience isn’t just a bonus—it’s essential. For pet parents of anxious or rescue dogs especially, the right background can mean the difference between a stressful stay and a calm, positive experience. At Chrysidis Pet Care, we bring over 30 years of hands-on experience to every dog who walks through our door.

Why Experience Counts in Dog Care

Dogs—especially those with past trauma or heightened anxiety—thrive in stable, predictable environments. A carer who understands canine behaviour deeply can quickly identify stress signals, adapt routines, and offer gentle reassurance. That’s where professional experience truly matters.

At Chrysidis Pet Care:

I grew up in a veterinary family and have worked with dogs of all temperaments. My home-based service is calm, crate-free, and designed with anxious and rescue dogs in mind. I use body language, behaviour patterns, and scent cues to build trust at each dog’s pace.

What Sets Chrysidis Apart

Located in Bensham, Gateshead, Chrysidis Pet Care is not a kennel, but a welcoming home. Every dog is treated as an individual with their own quirks and needs.

We offer:

One-on-one care in a peaceful, home setting A calm, routine-based approach that reduces stress Support for medication, behavioural routines, and decompression time Thoughtful matching with our friendly resident Labrador, Holy

For new or nervous dogs, trial days allow for slow introductions and tailored planning—because we understand that care starts with trust.

The Calm Alternative to Kennels

Rescue and anxious dogs often struggle with the overstimulation of traditional kennels. At Chrysidis, we don’t use crates or isolate pets unless absolutely necessary. Dogs live alongside us, just like they would at home—with comfort, routine, and reassurance.

We’ve seen first-hand how even the most fearful dogs begin to settle with:

Familiar walks on quiet routes Predictable daily routines Consistent updates and video check-ins for peace of mind
