Gees your dugs & cats! Six years exp..

Pet care experience

** I didn't realise there was a setting which blocked new clients from getting in touch - that's a bugger. Anyhoo, sorted now. Hello hello! I'm a dog lover who's travelling the UK and beyond with dog sitting! This all started when I jumped Rover in 2017 while living in Barcelona - desperate for a dog but without a fixed base and knowing I'd be on the move again, I decided that it was best to get my fix looking after other pups. It set the ball rolling and to date I've had a brilliant run looking nearly 50 dogs. A real mix of dogs with this, from the small pups to the big yins. At the end of 2019, I joined Trusted House Sitters looked after dogs in New York, Paris, Berlin, Bristol, London, Glasgow, Brighton, North Berwick, The Hague, Sheffield, Norwich, Cardiff, Madrid. I can send references/reviews from any of these sits. Current base in Edinburgh is Newhaven. I'm occasionally home between sits elsewhere, but this year's busy with bookings until mid August and a lot of those being away from home. I've also worked in two dog shelters, one in Myanmar and the other in Sri Lanka. In Sri Lanka I was living with 500 dogs, deep in the jungle for 10 days. A good night's sleep was impossible but having 500 furry guys at your doorstep was just fantastic. Bonds were made, tears were spilled. I work from home Monday to Friday so I'm very flexible and love having a dog or two around! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- estoy en valencia visitando a mi madre. Ella tiene un perro grande que es antisocial, así que puedo caminar, hacer visitas y períodos cortos de cuidado de la casa mientras estoy aquí. Tengo cinco años de experiencia y un ajetreado 2022 con trabajos consecutivos de marzo a octubre. Puedo proporcionar más reseñas ya que no hago tanto en Rover en este momento cuando viajo. Debido a que todavía no me he establecido en un lugar, no tengo la seguridad de ofrecerle a un perro un hogar permanente. Comencé a usar Rover hace unos años mientras vivía en Barcelona y, como pueden ver, los clientes están contentos allí. A fines de 2019, me uní a Trusted House Sitters y cuidé de perros y casas en Berlín, Bristol, Londres, La Haya, eso fue antes del ataque de Covid. Volver a unirse a esta aplicación mientras vive en Valencia hasta que se asiente el polvo. Regresaré al Reino Unido a fines de julio, así que aquí para cualquier ayuda que necesite hasta entonces. Experiencia con una variedad de perros, grandes, medianos, pequeños y con una variedad de necesidades y peculiaridades. He trabajado en dos refugios para perros, uno en Myanmar y el otro en Sri Lanka. En Sri Lanka vivía con 500 perros, en la profundidad de la jungla durante 10 días. Trabajo en casa desde Lunes hasta Viernes. Tengo un perro, pues mi madre tiene un perro en casa. Un macho, 8 anos. El es el perro en mi foto perfil. Muy amable. Tiende a ser indiferente a la presencia de otros perros. Work-wise I'm very quiet until the end of the year so I'm flexible and can get out on plenty of walks. Adaptable schedule to suit them. Our flat is small!, on the first floor. They're welcome to sleep in the bedroom, on couches, and can be kept in the kitchen overnight if that's your preference. Easily as I work from home. I'm very flexible in that regard. I'm active and enjoy walks as much as the dog does, I'm sure. As though they are my own. After doing this for five years I quickly take on board the needs of the dog and adapt to those. Very easily as I work from home and decide my own schedule, more or less. Brilliant to take a break and get outside with a dog giving the walk a purpose. My base here is a small flat and is opposite Victoria Park which is ideal. Cosy wee spot to bring your dogs into whenever needed.

Aimee looked after our anxious rescue dog Frida this week. She was amazing ! Frida is quite nervous of new people but Aimee was confident and understanding and put us at ease right from the start. She was great at reading when Frida needed time - or cuddles ! And took her out for many fabulous walks in awful weather. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Aimee to look after your pet. She is a natural ! :)

Blue adores Aimee at the beginning when we had the meet and greet. The energy matches and I felt really at ease of letting Aimee take Blue out for lunch walks! Aimee is communicative, responsible and accommodating. I get photo updates at the end of each walk, and days were stress-free knowing that Blue had a great time with her! I strongly recommend Aimee if anyone is looking for someone professional and dedicated to look after their dogs :)

Blue adores Aimee already when we met and greeted in the park prior to the booking. The energy matches and it was love at first sight!! Aimee was fantastic, professional, responsible and accommodating. I also received updates of Blue at the end of each walk, stress-free. I strongly recommend her to anyone who's looking.

Aimee is absolutely brilliant. I would highly recommend her. She is reliable, great at communicating and goes out of her way to follow routines etc. She was very loving to our dog and sent me regular updates . I felt totally comfortable that he was in safe hands and could enjoy my trip away. She also left our house in immaculate condition which was lovely. My pup loves her and we'll definitely be using her again!

I have an apartment when I'm in Edinburgh which is a first floor apartment. There are green spots but I'm only a minute away from Victoria Park so it's a quick and easy jump over there.

Information Aimee L. would like to know about your pet

Nothing to add to this, really. It's very much dependent on the owner and their pet. It can be discussed privately when the time comes.

A typical day

I live next to Victoria Park with the walkways which is ideal for getting out there. I'm energetic, sporty so can blast about the field, chucking things, giving chase!

Very easily as I work from home, so I decide my own schedule more or less and can jump to where needed if it's within a certain distance. I love my walks as much as the dog does - welcome push to get out there for breaks.
