Highlights
Pet care experience
Fun, flexible, reliable.
I’ve been around dogs almost my whole life and absolutely adore them. I’ve had the opportunity to walk and care for both smaller (Yorkshire terriers, cocker spaniels, springer spaniels) and larger dogs (cane corso, Newfoundland, boxers). I love trying to teach dogs simple commands on walks like sitting, heeling, waiting etc. I just love being around dogs and seeing them happy makes me happy.

Ratings and reviews
Marcus has walked Hank before, but this was his first time boarding him, and he was fantastic! He took him for long hill walks (sent me great photos), and brought back a very tired and happy (and unusually calm) boy. I suspect Hank may secretly prefer to go live with Marcus.
Marcus reliably takes good care of Hank on their walks together. Pictures show they get off the pavement onto some nearby wooded trails, which I know makes Hank happy.
Marcus took great care of Hank - nice walk and he seems like a happy boy.
Marcus accommodated us at the last minute and was just great with our boxer. Kept us updated and reassured. Harry loved him, and had a ball. Highly recommend. :)
Great contact, quick reply. Marcus took Captain for a long walk and provided lots of pictures. I am really glad for his help 😃
Marcus is great with our yorkie. He is always accommodating if schedules change and 100% reliable.

Schedule
I work part-time on Wednesday & Friday evenings and study full-time at Stirling uni so I’m always close to home and am able to take time out of my mornings and afternoon/evenings to walk and take care of dogs. I love having dogs staying over as long as they can be left alone for a 2-4 hours in the instance of work.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a gated community with plenty of access to nearby greenery and woodland walks. The flat is no mansion but has plenty of space for a small/medium and even large dogs to roam and make it feel like home.
A typical day
There is good roaming space in the flat for dogs to find where they’ll be most comfortable. There are lots of green spaces and parks within a 5 min walk from the flat for dogs to explore, play games and have a run around.
