Overnight stays
I stay in your home with them, and I don't nip off to look after anyone else. Evening company, morning routine, and a house that's lived-in while you're away.
It’s like you never left.
Half excited for the trip, but half worried about home? That's where I come in. Pet sitting and animal care across Northumberland and Newcastle. Dogs, cats and horses, looked after in their own home.

What I do
The same care I'd give my own
Whether it's a daily visit or an overnight stay, your animals stay where they're happiest: at home, in their own routine.
Day sitting
At work all day, or away for the afternoon? I'll keep them fed, walked and company-kept for as long as you need.
Drop-ins & dog walks
A visit to feed, fuss and let them out, or a proper walk whatever the weather. Fresh water, clean litter, happy faces.
Horses too
Feeds and company while you’re away, as part of looking after everyone at home.
Pricing is personal, on purpose. Every home, animal and stay is different, so I'll quote you properly on WhatsApp once I know what you need. No forms, no call centres.
Looking after your home as well as your animals
"I'm not just looking after your pets. I'm looking after your home too. You'll come back to everything just as you left it."
Shauna, founder
Your home, kept
Plants watered, parcels and post brought in, bins taken care of, and everyday household routines kept ticking over — helping your home stay secure and cared for while you’re away. It looks lived in, because it is.
Shopping in for your return
Landing late? Ask me to bring the essentials in so you're not shopping the minute you're home.
The little touches
Treats, updates while you're away, and a handwritten card when you get back. Special occasions remembered and celebrated.

About me
It started with Marcus
It all started with my rescue cat, Marcus. The bond we shared showed me just how deeply I love and connect with animals, and ultimately led me to what feels like my purpose. From there, Johnson's Pet Co grew — built around genuine care, trust and treating every animal as an individual.
One person, properly checked, who treats your pets like family and your home like my own.

From the families I look after

"Shauna was absolutely amazing with our pets, went above and beyond for all of them. Lots of walks and treats, and all 5 of them had been given lots of attention and love. Such peace of mind going away knowing the pets and house was in such safe and caring hands. Shauna kept in touch with us all week sending regular videos and updates and could see how relaxed and content they were. Didn't miss us at all!"
Emilie Carr, August 2026
"Shauna saved the day for me this bank holiday weekend! Couldn't recommend enough, amazing service, and made me feel so calm leaving my two dogs with her."
