Pet Services in Newcastle

Newcastle upon Tyne has a warm, well-organised community of pet professionals serving the city and the wider North East — from Jesmond and Heaton to Gosforth and Whitley Bay.

Local dog walkers regularly use Jesmond Dene, Leazes Park, Town Moor and Tynemouth Beach for daily walks. Cat sitters cover home visits across Heaton, Gosforth, South Gosforth and into North and South Tyneside.

Pricing in Newcastle is generally affordable. Expect around £10–£14 for a 30-minute solo dog walk, £8–£12 per dog for a group walk and £10–£14 per cat-sitting visit. Home boarding usually starts at £25 per night.

Newcastle City Council licenses boarding, daycare and breeding businesses under the Animal Welfare Regulations. Many North East providers also offer beach walks at Tynemouth, Whitley Bay or Cullercoats — a real bonus for dogs who love the sea.
