Availability

I work full time, predominantly from home but with some expectation of site visits and occasional overnight stays. It is therefore important to check availability with me directly. Pets that stay with me on weekdays will get a 30-45 min walk before and after work, as well as a play in the garden at lunchtime. At the weekend we can go for longer (1hr+) walks together, including to the beach! Your pet will rarely be left alone, and then only for short periods (such as a quick trip to the supermarket). If there were to be any changes to this, I would discuss with you, the owner, first.

Pets that stay with me will get the run of the house, a lovely comfy sofa to sleep on, and a large garden to play in. Pets are welcome in the bed for cuddles but cannot stay there overnight. I will always ask owners for a list of care instructions to get the best possible understanding of their current routine, to make their stay as stress-free and comfortable as possible!

Information Bethia P. would like to know about your pet

All new clients must be happy to arrange a meet and greet before booking is confirmed. This gives you both a chance to see where your dog will be staying, and allows your dog to become more comfortable with me before their stay. It also enables me to best understand how to care for your pet and whether we will be a good fit. This does also mean that short-notice bookings are less likely to be accepted.

A typical day

Coaltown and Markinch have plenty of local walks available for your dog, whatever exercise levels are required. My garden is a large, quiet outdoor space with fencing, which provides easy, safe access for regular toilet breaks. This fence does border our neighbours and their dog, so please inform me of any boundary aggression risks.

Pet care experience

I grew up with two family dogs and four cats. I began dog walking and pet sitting as a student, gaining experience through "BorrowMyDoggy" by providing regular walks and day-care for several repeat clients, often for longer periods when they were on holiday. I have been using Rover since 2018, and established regular clients when based in Glasgow, Kinross and now Coaltown. I also regularly dog sit for family and friends. I have boarded several dogs for their first stays away from home, including a few "lockdown" pups. My time caring for such a variety of breeds, many of which were rescues with specific needs, has provided me with the experience necessary to provide your dogs with the high quality care they require. I have limited experience with professional cat sitting, but grew up with family cats and have previously cat-sat for friends and a client.
