Highlights
Pet care experience
EH49 Linlithgow Bridge Work from home Dog Lover
I gained a deep love for dogs by growing up with them and learning the responsibility of pet ownership. I've loved taking care of them, learning how to train them and observing their behaviours. I'm an advocate on positive re-enforcement as a form of training, giving dogs lots of attention but also being aware when dogs need space/rest. I also love the affection and play that can come from dogs. The two dogs in my profile are Pepper (Black Spaniel) and Milo (The handsome springer) they belong to close friends and family. I help look after these two regularly overnight or for a number of days with Daily walks and regular toilet breaks.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We were very pleased with the way Graeme cared for Luna. She can be anxious in certain situations, but was relaxed, cheerful and confident when we collected her. He related to her immediately, and had taken care in advance to find out about her usual routine. We would be very happy to leave her in his care in future.
Lovely family looking after our pooch. Brilliant communication and so kind. Thank you so much!
Graeme has been our go-to dog sitter since our two-year-old springer spaniel, Milo, was just a puppy. Milo absolutely adores Graeme! Honestly, I think he’d rather stay with Graeme than come home. Graeme takes him on loads of great walks and always sends us photos and videos of Milo having the best time, which we really appreciate. Graeme is reliable, responsible, and someone we completely trust with our dog. I couldn’t recommend him more!
Felt really comfortable leaving Storm with Graeme, he was lovely and lives in a great location for walks. She seemed pretty chilled out to be there too and will be booking another daycare with him again soon 😁
I believe Graeme would be a great person to look after others pets. Graeme has looked after my own dog on a number of occasions and Graeme is a trustworthy and responsible person who will ensure that your pet is well looked after
Graeme has been walking and looking after my dog overnight semi-regularly for the past few years, and I’m constantly impressed by his reliability, care, and love for animals. My dog absolutely adores him, and it’s clear that Graeme goes above and beyond to make sure each walk is enjoyable and safe. He’s always on time, communicates clearly, and is incredibly trustworthy. I truly appreciate the peace of mind knowing that my dog is in such good hands. Highly recommend Graeme to anyone looking for a fantastic dog walker!

Schedule
I tend to be working from home around 8am - 4pm. When looking after dogs this means I can easily pop out for bathroom breaks and I tend to spare 30mins in the day for a short walk in the park nearby. I like the company and like giving them attention between times of focus. I'm not meeting heavy so get up from my desk often.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I make sure they have a comfortable save space to be in. Not too close to windows or disturbances so they can rest. Nothing is left out that they might try and chew or play with. Between periods of work I'll play and check in on them, making sure they have fresh water.
A typical day
Playing in the house with toys or getting some fresh air at the local park to find some new interesting smells. I enjoy playing fetch!
