Flexible schedule, dog lover

Growing up in rural Scotland, everybody had a dog. Their playful, energetic, loyal and loving nature installed a very special connection in me from a very young age. I’m looking to meet some lovely dogs, and hopefully take them on some lovely walks and hikes! Also very happy to house sit and chill with them, and have them over in my house.

Joseph helped me out a second time and my dog was so happy to see him. He’s a great guy, truly loves animals and they love him.

Joseph and Beth took a really good care of Teddy. They’re really easy to talk to and very experienced. Teddy looked happy and well taken care of during the stay!

Joseph is was one of the best sitters we’ve ever had. He took Kophie on so many adventures, gave constant updates and was such a pleasure to deal with. I did not worry about Kophie one bit as I knew he was in good hands. Thank you so much. Don’t hesitate booking with Joseph

My dog loves Joseph so much! He took great care of her and went above and beyond to make sure she felt at home while I was away.

Safety, trust & environment

I have had my own border collie for over 10 years now. Collies are very high energy dogs so I take him for lots of long walks and hikes. Always up to take a dog on a big walk! Many of my friends have much calmer breeds, so I’m also experienced with much calmer and smaller dogs too.

A typical day

Every dog is different. But I’ll always try to be as active as possible with whichever lovely dog I’m looking after. Whether it be a walk around the park or a bigger walk.

Dogs are characters, so they almost always have some unique behaviours. I grew up looking after border collies who chase and herd everything and anything that moves. If your dog has anything about them you feel I should know, please tell me.
