House & Pet Sitting in Northumberland

A3 House & Pet Sitting provides independent, experienced live-in house and pet sitting throughout Northumberland, specialising in the care of horses, domestic pets and animals on private smallholdings and rural properties.

From equestrian homes in the Tyne Valley to countryside properties around Hexham, Corbridge, Morpeth and Alnwick, I offer practical, personalised animal care while owners are away.

Established in 2008, A3 House & Pet Sitting is an independently operated business. I personally undertake every booking, providing continuity and care tailored to the individual needs of your animals and property.

Horse & Equine Sitting in Northumberland

Northumberland's extensive countryside is home to many private equestrian properties, yards and rural households with horses and ponies.

With a BSc (Hons) in Equine Science, a National Diploma in Equine Studies and extensive practical experience, I am comfortable managing a wide range of equine care routines.

Whether your horses are stabled, live out or follow a combination of both, care can include feeding, turnout, bringing in, mucking out, rug changes and monitoring their general wellbeing.

I follow your established management arrangements, recognising the importance of consistency and individual care.

Smallholding & Farm Animal Sitting in Northumberland

Private smallholdings often involve a mixture of animals with different feeding, housing and daily management requirements.

Having grown up on a smallholding, I understand the practical responsibilities involved in looking after several species within the same property.

My experience includes caring for donkeys, alpacas, goats, sheep, cattle, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese and other smallholding animals.

Daily responsibilities can include feeding, checking water supplies, cleaning accommodation, securing poultry housing and carrying out agreed animal husbandry tasks.

For properties with horses, domestic pets and smallholding animals together, I can provide coordinated care within a single live-in booking.

Live-in Dog & Cat Sitting in Northumberland

Alongside specialist equine and smallholding care, I provide live-in pet sitting for dogs, cats and other household pets.

Your animals remain in familiar surroundings, following their usual feeding, exercise and daily routines.

I have experience caring for older animals, pets requiring prescribed medication and households with several dogs or cats.

Regular photographs and updates help you stay informed about your animals while you are away.

Rural House Sitting Across Northumberland

I welcome enquiries from owners of country houses, equestrian properties, private smallholdings and rural family homes throughout Northumberland.

Areas covered include Hexham, Corbridge, Riding Mill, Stocksfield, Ponteland, Morpeth, Alnwick, Rothbury, Wooler and surrounding countryside.

I am also happy to discuss bookings in more remote parts of the county, including the North Tyne Valley, Coquetdale and properties near the Northumberland National Park.

As a nationwide sitter, I travel directly to your property for the agreed booking, with travel arrangements and any associated costs discussed in advance.

Caring for Animals Throughout the Seasons

Northumberland's rural environment can bring additional responsibilities, particularly during colder and wetter months.

Winter animal care may involve checking water supplies, maintaining bedding, monitoring turnout conditions and ensuring outdoor housing remains secure.

During warmer months, routines may include grazing arrangements, checking water availability and maintaining poultry and smallholding management.

I follow the instructions agreed with each owner, adapting to the individual requirements of their animals and property.

Experienced, Independent Animal Care

Finding suitable care for a rural property with several different animals can be challenging, particularly when horses and smallholding animals require experienced handling.

My background combines professional equine qualifications with lifelong practical experience of domestic pets, horses and smallholding animals.

Unlike an agency, A3 House & Pet Sitting is personally operated. You deal directly with the person who will be staying at your property and caring for your animals.
