Dolly was a lovely, kind and considerate sitter who I'd absolutely choose again! Ted was very happy and content staying with her for over a week. Dolly was also very considerate of Ted's needs and slower pace as an older dog, which I really appreciated.

Dolly is an amazing pet sitter! Monty became slightly unwell before our holiday and needed to take his meds twice daily, there was no problem with meds administration. Dolly sent us pictures and updated us how Monty is doing but it was not overwhelming. It seems like Monty has little bit of holiday on his own having long walks in the park, going in different adventures, playing with his favourite ball.

We would say that Boo thoroughly enjoyed his stay with Dolly, and we would have no hesitation in recommending her to other dogs owners.

We left our dog, Batou, with Dolly for 5 days and couldn’t be happier with the experience. She sent us daily photos and updates about what they had been doing, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Dolly was always friendly, responsive, and very easy to communicate with. From the photos, it was clear how much Batou enjoyed spending time with her and her partner. They are both lovely, kind people who genuinely care about dogs and make them feel comfortable and happy. We had a wonderful experience and would absolutely book with Dolly again for our next trip. Highly recommended!

Dolly was great. Sent me regular messages and pics to make sure I knew Mookie was in good hands. I'd definitely be happy to let her take care of him again 🐶

Dolly is a great pet sitter. She gave us multiple daily updates of our two dogs during the two weeks we were away so we never had to worry about how they were doing. The dogs were very happy, got lots of exercise and attention, and I think they might have been a bit upset to come back home with me after all the fun they had! 🤣 I cannot recommend her enough and we will absolutely be using her again next time we go on holiday. Our dogs love her! Thank you!

I am currently working part-time as a dog groomer, so I have plenty of time at home to play with your pet and make sure they're getting lots of attention!

Safety, trust & environment

I will treat your pet like they are part of the family! I will take dogs for three or more walks a day as required, as I do not have a garden, but I am a couple of minutes walk away from Leith Links where they can run and play to their hearts content. I will make sure they get lots of love and attention, and that they are feeling happy and content during their stay.

A typical day

A typical day would include going to the local park or beach, making sure your dog is getting all the exercise and stimulation they need. We will play games and have lots of fun exploring the area.

Let me know in advance if your pet has any medical needs, if they are reactive to other dogs or people, if they are/are not neutered, or if they have any other general dislikes. I want to be able to ensure your pets safety and happiness at all times. If your pet takes any medication I ask that you tell me how you usually administer it, or in the case of injections I ask that you show me how you administer it, or take a video to demonstrate if not possible before handoff.
