To provide the best possible care, I like to get to know each dog as an individual. Please take a moment to share the following details before your booking: **Basic Information** * Your dog’s name, age, breed, and size * Any medical conditions or ongoing treatments * Vet details (just in case of emergencies) **Routine & Habits** * Feeding schedule and dietary requirements * Walking routine and energy level * Sleeping habits and usual bedtime **Behaviour & Personality** * How your dog behaves around other dogs and people * Any fears or anxieties (e.g. loud noises, being left alone) * Known triggers or things to avoid * Favourite toys, games, or comforts **Health & Safety** * Allergies or food restrictions * Medication instructions (if applicable) * Recall ability and whether they can be let off lead **Practical Details** * Emergency contact information * Preferred vet or insurance details * House rules (e.g. allowed on furniture, sleeping arrangements) --- The more I know, the better I can tailor care to your dog’s needs—helping them feel safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away.

My day as a dog sitter starts early, with a calm morning routine tailored to each dog’s needs. After a gentle wake-up and breakfast, we head out for our first walk of the day. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll through leafy neighbourhood streets or an energetic outing in one of Edinburgh’s beautiful green spaces, I make sure every dog gets the exercise and stimulation they need. Mid-morning is all about comfort and companionship. Some dogs love playtime with toys and games, while others prefer a cosy nap in a quiet spot. I keep a close eye on their behaviour, ensuring they feel secure, happy, and right at home. Lunchtime brings another opportunity for feeding (if required), fresh water, and of course, affection. I send regular updates, photos, and little notes so you always know how your dog is doing—whether they’re chasing a ball, making new furry friends, or snoozing contentedly. In the afternoon, we head out again—this time for a longer walk or adventure, depending on your dog’s energy level. I prioritise safe, enriching environments where dogs can explore, sniff, and enjoy themselves. Evenings are calm and comforting. After dinner, we wind down with gentle play, cuddles, and relaxation. I stick closely to your dog’s usual routine so they feel settled and secure while you’re away. Before bedtime, there’s one last walk and plenty of reassurance to end the day on a positive note. Every dog I care for is treated like family—with patience, attention, and genuine affection. My goal is simple: happy dogs, reassured owners, and a service you can trust again and again.
