Kind, flexible sitter available for walks & care🐾

Pet care experience

Hello, I am a 27 year old HR Manager in Edinburgh and I have been petsitting on and off since I was 11. I not only have experience with puppies from 10 weeks old, but I also have an abundance of experience with senior dogs and animals with ailments. My speciality is in fact deaf and blind dogs due to my beloved childhood dog being blind from birth. I lost her in 2022 at 14 and since then, there has been a huge hole in my heart and I have been enjoying petsitting both cats and dogs during this time. I regularly dogsit for Eire, the sable roan cocker spaniel you can see in my photos. I have been taking care of Eire since she was 10 weeks old and have assisted her owners with her crate training. We have a very special bond and she loves coming to visit me for countless belly scratches and cuddles on the couch. Eire is a very anxious dog who is scared of other animals and loud noises, so I have experience with animals who need a little extra patience and TLC. I live in my own first floor flat - my building does have a lift for any senior dogs who may not be able to make it up the stairs anymore and my apartment has wooden floors for any puppies who may not be fully trained yet. I have access to an unfenced garden for toilet breaks but most excitingly, I live around the corner from a park for daily dog walks! 🌲 If you have any specific questions about my services or if your pet requires extra attention, please feel free to reach out and I am certain we can find the perfect middle ground. I will accept two dogs from the same home but cannot accept more than one booking at a time for animals who have not interacted with one another. Thank you so much for your time ✨

Ghislaine was great with both my puppy and me (this being the first time I left him with someone new). She seems very chill and capable, and I think Ori enjoyed his time with her. He'll be visiting again :)

Rufus had a wonderful day staying with Ghislaine, he was soo happy when I went to pick him up. I'm really happy with how Ghislaine took care of Rufus and will be happy to go back and leave him with her again in the future.

Safety, trust & environment

I will solely follow the instructions that you provide me for your pet. If your animal does not socialise well, then we can arrange for them to be the only animal in the home at a time. Having had a difficult pet myself, I can understand how hard it can be to trust another person with your best friend so I would love to know as much as possible about you, your pet and their routine so that you can feel comfortable that they are in safe hands. I am always happy to send you countless photos throughout the day to ease your mind and take notes of our activities.

Information Ghislaine B. would like to know about your pet

I’d love a detailed breakdown of what a typical day looks like for your pet as well as any specific issues they have that they should be aware of. If your animal is anxious, reactive, aggressive, this is not an issue as long as we have had a conversation about this and I have an accurate idea of how to care for them in difficult situations. There is no such thing as too much information when it comes to the care of your furry friend!

A typical day

I love to go for walks myself so if your pet is staying with me, we will certainly be heading to the park or along the waters of leith for a good sniff. I am a big fan an mentally stimulating games for dogs and just generally giving them the attention that they enjoy at home and that they deserve. Whatever they are used to at home is what they will experience with me ☺️

I work from home full time and I am very blessed to work in a company where I manage my own hours and can be flexible around my personal schedule. This means that I can give your pet my full attention and work around the times that you require care. We can go for countless walkies and toilet breaks throughout the day and have a play! I am generally very flexible with my routine and happy to discuss this in more detail. If daycare is required for more than 8 hours past 6pm on Saturday/Sunday, the fee may be changed to one night of boarding though this will be discussed in advance and is dependant on the needs of your pet. ❗️If your animal cannot be left alone for a period of 2 hours, please note that Tuesdays will not be a suitable day for me to provide daycare as I must attend a meeting during the day.
