Dog sitting in Edinburgh and the Lothians

Pet care experience

I am an active retired 61 year old.My wife and I were devoted dog owners for 16 years and for the past 18 months have been looking after friends dogs on an occasional basis and have realised that we miss the company a dog can offer.We live in a smoke free, adult-only bungalow with a large secure garden and would only board one dog at a time but would consider two small/medium dogs from the same family.If your dog is used to relaxing on the sofa or sleeping on the bed we are happy to allow this. We are happy to provide a pick up and or drop off service if required for a small charge depending on distance and length of booking I have crates and dog seat belts for safety

Waffle had a wonderful stay with Angela and Derek and was spoilt rotten. He settled in well and his food and routine was adhered to. I’ve already booked another stay for later this year and have no hesitation recommending their services.

Marvin had an absolutely brilliant time with Derek and his lovely wife while we were on holiday. A true home away from home for him and we didn't have to worry, knowing he was age and sound Nd being treated like one of the family. We were kept up to date, and could not be more grateful for their care and attention for Marvin. Thank you again.

This year, Honey has been under the loving care of Angela and Derek for 3 wonderful years. Angela and Derek create a peaceful and inviting atmosphere for Honey, showering her with love and attention. Derek makes sure to keep me updated with videos and photos of Honey's adventures, which always warms my heart. Honey comes back home feeling incredibly calm, showing how much she adores Derek and Angela. Words cannot express my gratitude for the immense love and care you both show towards Honey. Thank you so much for everything you do for her!

Derek and Angela took such great care of Honey! They keep you updated with photos and messages, and shows their dedication to providing you peace of mind. But what truly stands out is the love and care Derek and Angela shows towards Honey. It's heartwarming to know that they treats Honey with so much love. The fact that she misses them and the special bond they have. I can confidently say that Derek and Angela are exceptional pet sitters who not only provide excellent care but also create a loving and nurturing environment for Honey. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of pet sitting services.
