House Sitting in Thurso

“To say that Mélanie went above and beyond would be an understatement! Within her first few minutes with us we had a power outage and a massive storm. We ended up deciding to relocate to my partners house for the duration of her stay and she was so calm and helpful throughout the whole situation. My baby boy is on a special diet and I had forgot some of his premade meals during the chaos of switching houses but Melanie had no problem helping me out and cooking some of his meals for me. She truly took care of him as if it was her own dog and gave me plenty of updates along the way so I never had to worry. It was the first time I could be away without being worried and it really made a world of difference. My boy Alfred seemed to be pretty smitten too and is definitely looking forward to seeing her again!! 🤗🤗”

“This was the first time I have ever had someone come and dog sit/house sit. Taco can be a handful at times and it takes a special kind of person to handle his temperament. I was away for 5 days and was more than nervous about leaving. Tamara did an exceptional job handling his unique feeding system & handled his behavior, which was not the best at times, with a high degree of professionalism. She kept me updated to what was happening daily sending updates 2-3x a day with pics. This really helped me to enjoy my time away and for that I’m extremely grateful. I came home to a spotless home and happy dog. Highly recommended. Taco even requested we get Tamara a gift card to his favorite restaurant El Camino lol thanks again!”

“Anna-Faye was an absolute delight! Our dogs and home were in safe, respectful hands with her. She sent us regular updates and pictures, kept the dogs engaged and happy. We returned to dogs that were clearly loved and cared for in our absence. I cannot recommend Anna-Faye highly enough. This was our first experience with a dog sitter and she went above and beyond to provide a great environment for our pups. We feel so fortunate to have found her. She put our minds at ease to let us enjoy our vacation. Thank you, Anna-Faye!”

“I honestly don’t know what I would do without Kim. I feel 100% confident leaving Becca with her and know she will be well taken care of. I come home to a happy dog and a tidy house!”

“Veronika was amazing with my Mika that it’s not always easy. She send me plenty of pictures and messages through out the weekend which reinsure me a lot. Thanks a lot”

Marianne C.

“Mala is so great with our dogs, they had lots of indoor and outdoor fun and the dogs were immediately comfortable with her. We will definitely ask her to come spend time with them again!”

Chantal S.

“I can’t express how grateful I am mahnaz was available on such short notice and so accommodating of our dog Charlotte. Will absolutely be reaching out again for more dog sitting if she’s available! Thank you mahnaz!”

“Sabrina has become a reliable sitter for Naiya whenever we’ve needed her. Naiya is happy to see her and gets spoiled during her stay. Thank you Sabrina.”

Miranda A.

“Heidi was incredible! She is a very proactive communicator, sent tons of pictures of the kitties, and was thoughtful through and through. We cannot recommend her enough and will definitely be hoping she is available next time we travel.”

Chloe E.

“It was such an easy and fantastic experience with Sabrina! She sent several updates daily, even called with a question. We can absolutely tell that Gio was spoiled to the max and he was looking for her at the door a few times. We came back a spotless house and a very relaxed four legged baby 🥰 Sabrina will most definitely come back as soon as we make new plans!”

Clara D.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t be happier with the care our pets received over the 3 days we were away! Sophia was so kind, friendly, and compassionate. Millie (our dog) and Katniss (our cat) were clearly comfortable and well looked after. She followed all our instructions, took the time to give them love and attention, and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us such peace of mind. It’s obvious Sophia truly cares about the animals she looks after. We came home to happy, relaxed pets (well Millie was mad at us for leaving but not Sophia's lol) and a tidy home. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”

Tammy B.

“We were so lucky to find Amanda - it was a very last minute thing! She agreed to babysit with only a 40 hour heads up, and even came for a meet and greet first. Amanda shows up on time, is very pleasant, kind, and polite, and very sweet! My German Shepherd, in particular, showed great enthusiasm towards her (my other dog is shy and nervous). I could see right away that Amanda feels very at ease with dogs, and I could also see that she loved large dogs, as she played with, and patted, my Shep with an obviously experienced attitude! She's great. I will definitely rebook! :)”

My skill set encompasses walking, engaging in play, and administering medications.

About: Planning a getaway? Looking for a safe & comfortable home environment for your fur baby? Hi, I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet caregiver with over 18 years of hands-on experience.

In my home (or yours!), your pet will be treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they’ll get plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I’ve raised puppies (and all the fun and chaos that comes with them!), cared for senior dogs with gentleness and patience, administered oral medications, and supported pets through palliative care with compassion and respect. I’ve also rescued dogs and have experience helping them adjust, build trust, and thrive. Whether your pup needs lots of play or a calm, cozy space to relax, I’ll tailor their care to meet their needs, and keep you updated every step of the way. Let’s chat about how I can give your dog a home away from home or be at your home for them! Boarding In our home, your pet becomes part of the family. My partner and I work together to provide a warm, safe, and attentive environment where your furry friend will feel comfortable and cared for. With flexible schedules and coordinated in-office days, one of us is always home to ensure consistent supervision. Pets in our care, along with our own, are never left alone for more than two hours at a time. For pets requiring round-the-clock attention, we make special arrangements with trusted family members to ensure they’re never left unattended, if we do have to leave our home for a short period of time. You can rest easy knowing your pet will receive constant care, companionship, and plenty of affection while you're away.

Let’s chat about how I can help during your next time away! When caring for pets, I prioritize keeping them as close to their regular routine as possible whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, or bedtime routines. Consistency helps them feel secure and relaxed while you're away. For dogs, I enjoy taking them on peaceful walks along nearby trails or through local parks, and if they are used to going to a local dog park, we'll go for a visit! When boarding at my home, our fully fenced backyard offers plenty of space for games like fetch and tag, and I provide a variety of toys to keep them entertained. Of course, no visit is complete without plenty of belly rubs, cozy snuggles, and affectionate attention, because every pet deserves to feel loved while their owner is away. Caring for multiple pets means understanding the needs of each animal. Whether it’s a morning walk for the dog, playtime for an energetic pup, or quiet cuddles for a senior cat, I make sure everyone gets the attention they deserve. I’m experienced with a variety of pets and personalities, and I create a safe, loving environment where each one feels secure and cared for.

“Izak a passé une semaine avec ma Fidoune. Je suis revenue accueillie par un chien heureux! Des le premier matin, il l’a amenée marcher avec sa copine. Je suis aussi revenue dans une maison plus propre que ce que je l’avais laissée!😂 Dès la 1ère rencontre on sent qu’il aime les chiens et ça a cliqué immédiatement avec Stella. Je le recommande!”
