A little heads-up for 2026 ❤️

This year has been absolutely insane in the best way, and I can’t thank you all enough for keeping us so busy, trusting us with your pets, and just being the lovely humans you are.

But… as most of you know, I’m a massive people pleaser. I’ll bend myself into a pretzel trying to fit everyone in, and I’ve realised that if I don’t start taking more proper time off, I’m going to end up completely burnt out.

So, going into next year, I’m being brave and actually booking regular time off. I know — who even am I?!

Here are the dates we’ll be off between January and September 2026:

📅 January
• Sat 24th & Sun 25th

📅 February
• Sat 21st & Sun 22nd

📅 March
• Sat 28th & Sun 29th

📅 April
• Sat 18th & Sun 19th

📅 May
• Tues 12th – Fri 15th
• Sun 24th & Mon 25th

📅 June
• Thurs 4th & Fri 5th (No dog walks only – all other services still running)
• Sat 13th & Sun 14th

📅 July
• Fri 10th - Sun 12th
• Fri 24th (No dog walks only)

📅 August
• Sat 29th – Mon 31st

📅 September
• Sun 20th

Thank you all for always being so understanding. Taking this time means I can keep doing what I love without running myself into the ground. 🐾❤️

If you ever need to double-check dates or availability, just drop me a message.
Here’s to a more balanced (and slightly less chaotic!) 2026 ✨

A busy Saturday of nail clips for some of our gorgeous house cats and one very handsome pup! 🐾✂️
Everyone was on their best behaviour (mostly 😹), and it was lovely catching up with our regulars.

Nail clips start from just £9.00 for the first pet and £7.00 for each additional.
Perfect for keeping those paws comfy and those sofas click free!

Back to the grind after two and a half weeks off — and going from 32 degrees to 3 has been a proper shock to the system!...

Back to the grind after two and a half weeks off — and going from 32 degrees to 3 has been a proper shock to the system! ❄️☀️
But all the pooches were thoroughly happy to see us, tails wagging like we’d been gone for years. It’s good to be back. 🐾💛

Well… we’re officially back from our amazing trip! ✈️🌴
I’ve added a few snaps of the Seychelles critters we met along the way – couldn’t resist sharing them with you all.

Most messages have now been replied to and any requested dates have been popped into the diary. I’ve still got a few calls to return tomorrow, but after being awake for over 30 hours travelling… it’s definitely time to clock off. 😴

Can’t wait to see some happy doggy faces tomorrow and get back into the swing of things! 🐾

And, in true cat fashion… our bunch weren’t remotely phased when we walked through the door. Pretty sure they already knew we cheated on them with holiday cats. 😼💁‍♀️

Oh and a massive thanks to Consett Cat Rescue and Amy Westgarth who provided our cat sitting… I think 20 cats would have tipped any normal Cat Sitter over the edge 🤣

I’ve popped my out-of-office on a little early as we’re absolutely run off our feet tomorrow and then we fly on Sunday! ✈️

We’d love to see your gorgeous faces at the Consett Cat Rescue fundraiser at South Moor Golf Club tomorrow — Saturday 15th, 10am–2pm. 💛

We’ll be back on December 3rd, so all messages will be replied to then.

Thanks so much, and hope to see some of you tomorrow! 🐾✨

Pet taxi run for Miss Kitty this week for her booster. Her mam’s got an injured hand at the moment, so getting her into a carrier was proving tricky — and she warned me that Kitty “turns into the devil” at the vets. Well… not today! She was an absolute star and had her booster done in no time at all. Little angel in disguise. 🐾✨

Nail clip for Thor and Aura this week — both on their best behaviour, for a change! Thor does have a bit of a dodgy back nail, and a few hours after clipping he must have caught it, cue the dramatic downpour of blood. I shot straight back up with some blood-clotting agent to get him sorted. All good now, just Thor keeping life interesting as always! 🐾

Chris had the loveliest hour pet sit on Thursday afternoon with the gorgeous Bruno. He was an absolute angel — the bestest, snuggliest boy you could ever hope to spend an hour with. 💛

This week’s soggy dog walks…
One last round of muddy paws, soggy leads, wellies and dorty towels before we swap it all for 30-degree tropical sun, 5000 miles away. The pups have certainly kept us on our toes while we count down the days! 🌧️🐾🌴

Last weekend was spent with the lovely former Consett Cat Rescue duo, Eda and Lilith.
Two absolute sweethearts and total cuddlebugs — it’s always a joy to see how happy and settled they are.

A Bit About Me

Here is a little bit about me and how Crowther’s Critter Sitter came to be. I have spent many years figuring out my place in the world, iv been a bar supervisor, worked in technical support as well as being a support worker for adults and children. All these jobs I loved, but there has always been something missing... the passion.

I started dog walking by chance, when a neighbour of mine with a slight mobility issue, got herself a dog for company (Max). Max the Cocker Spaniel melted my heart as soon as I saw him. I offered to walk Max on a daily basis, in my free time, to give him that extra exercise that he needs. From walking Max daily, I got to really know my neighbour and we built up a really good rapport with one another.

Max was 4 year old, when he came to live with my neighbour, and would pull whilst on the lead, 2 month after our walks, Max no longer pulls whilst walking and he now knows basic commands that I have taught him on our walks. Over the past year, myself and Max have been on many adventures daily. With these adventures I helped socialise him, by inviting other dogs to join in on some of our adventures, which have all gone really well.

Iv always been a keen animal lover and own 3 cats, a rabbit and a snake. In the past, I have owned a tarantula, stick insects, a hamster, rats, fish and a bearded dragon. I have no fear or anything creepy or crawly. I just love all animals.
