Dee Dolittle’s Dog & Cat Sitting
Pet care experience
Hi - my name is Demelza. I'm a life-long animal lover, qualified zoologist and registered pet sitter who loves all pets big and small! Taking care of animals is my passion in life. I have been working full time as a pet sitter for the past 5 years and couldn't be happier in my dream job. As an experienced and reliable sitter you can trust me to provide the best care for your fur baby, whether you're looking for a sitter, walker, help with training your pup or someone to give them their medicine or a bath and brush up! I work hard to build bonds with my furry clients and earn their trust, putting them at ease. Every pet is an individual, and I will get to know your pet’s personality, likes and dislikes and daily routine. I am experienced with a wide variety of breeds and sizes, elderly dogs and cats, puppies and kittens, rescue pets and those with special needs and medical requirements - including insulin injections. Your pet's happiness and comfort is my priority - expect lots of fun, playtime and walks for your dog, company and interaction for your cat and of course cuddles, treats and lots of love! I promise to keep you updated with all your pet’s fun and antics through the Rover App and WhatsApp so that you can rest assured that your pet is enjoying their time with me. For your dog's exercise needs, I offer both private solo dog walks - ideal for puppies, elderly dogs and those who prefer their own company or if you'd like your pup to make new doggy friends I offer small pack walks to the park (up to 4 dogs at a time). Walks are tailored for your dog's activity level and can be fully tracked on request with lots of photos for peace of mind. I love walking dogs and am always looking for new furry friends to spend time with! I have lots of specialist skills under my belt and I would be happy to help with reward-based training, socialisation, basic commands and recall, leash training, administering medications including injections, nail clipping, bathing and basic grooming. Pet safety is also very important to me, I recently completed a pet theft prevention course and am a member of the doghorn dog theft prevention campaign. I carry a doghorn whistle, personal alarm and dog whistle at all times and take all steps to ensure your dogs safety while in my care. My qualifications: Zoology Bsc, Animal Training and Pet Sitting Certificate, Dog Walking Certificate, Advanced Pet First Aid Level 3, Canine First Aid Certificate, Dog Behaviour & Psychology, Puppy Training Certificate, Pet Theft Prevention Trained, Police Checked, fully insured by SimplyBusiness and Rover. I'm more than happy to answer any questions so please do feel free to get in touch and tell me all about your fur baby! I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member soon.
Reviews
Thanks again Demelza for looking after Dougall and love his reaction when you photograph him! He looks forward to seeing you and your care is exceptional and appreciated. Fiona xx
Dougall was well looked after and as he is now older goes a little slower which you understand. Thanks for all the photos and review you send . Excellent care would thoroughly recommend you.
My dog had a great time with Dee. Very happy lad when I got back in from work.
Cannot praise Der enough.She is reliable and very kind and loving towards Maddison.

A typical day
Your dog can expect lots of fun and playtime, whether it be a game of fetch or frisbee or 'find the treats', I have a good selection of toys and balls - and some chew-proof ones for those who need them! We have a garden for additional outdoor play and comfort breaks and laying in the sunshine in the warmer months. Right on the doorstep are lots of great locations for walks including: Westerton Garden Village, Cairnhill Woods, Temple Recreation Grounds, Forth and Clyde Canal Walkway, Knightswood Park, Dawsholm Park, Drumchapel Way, Garscadden Woods and Mugdock Country Park. After your four-legged friend has had their daily exercise and play they can settle down for a cuddle on the sofa or a snooze in one of the doggy beds we provide.
