Dog & Cat Care in Penicuik
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Kim and I am a 25 year old professional and part-time student offering dog and cat care in Penicuik including: - boarding - day care - walks - drop in visits - house sitting I have 5 years of dog sitting experience. I treat your dog like my own, ensure they get plenty exercise and interaction, and provide you with daily updates with photos of them enjoying their holiday. I can walk for miles if your dog is that way inclined! There are a variety of off-road routes on my doorstep which the dogs love. I keep dogs on the lead at all times with the exception of some safe open areas to allow them to run around / play fetch (only with owner permission). I also am experienced with cat care. I grew up with cats and, when not dog sitting, I volunteer as a cat fosterer providing a temporary home to rescues until they go to their new family. My non-working days are weekends and Mondays. For boarding/house sitting I can accommodate Friday overnights if drop off/arrival is after 4pm, but I can't offer Monday overnights. If you'd like me to look after your dog or cat I'd love to hear from you! K x
Reviews
Kim was brilliant with our boy. Cody is quite an anxious dog but Kim was great with him and he seemed very happy on his stay over. We got lots of updates and pics and won’t hesitate to use Kim again.
We have a wee jack Russel (Alfie) who can suffer sometimes from separation anxiety however we’d no such worries recently after Kim looked after alf for a few nights he settled instantly and we were kept informed on his stay regularly with pics and videos we couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Kim and we will certainly be booking Alfie in for future visits with Kim
Kim was brave enough to take on my 2 big dogs & I couldn’t be happier, they had the best time & Kim sent me lots of lovely videos & photos so I felt so reassured ?
We are delighted after superb care for our boxer dog - Kim is better than any boarding service we've used before, went great long walks with him and updated us regularly with pictures and messages to let us know how our dog was doing.

I have a shared garden and plenty off road walks on my doorstep. The length and frequency of walks are tailored to the needs of each dog. I love walking so can keep up with the exercise needs of bigger dogs! Dogs will not be left alone for extended periods, if at all (I try to avoid this).
Home
Information Kim M. would like to know about your pet
Your dog's general daily schedule including timings of meals and walks. Their usual sleeping arrangements. Any particular likes and dislikes. Whether they are dog and child friendly (although no children or dogs from other households will be present in my home during stay).
A typical day
Plenty countryside off-road walks around my home including circular route to Penicuik House, Dalkeith railway walk etc. I keep dogs on the lead at all times unless the dog has strong recall. Happy for dogs to bring their favourite toys, bed/blankets and treats from home.
