Professional dog walker

Pet care experience

I love dogs and have had dogs my whole life. I have my own miniature dachshund who is now 2 and couldn’t imagine my life without him, dogs really do make a family! for the past year I have been a professional dog walker based in Edinburgh. Taking care of up to 7 dogs at a time, and it’s the best career change I have ever made…even in the pouring rain. Due to my walks being nearly fully booked every day during the week I would only be able to board 1 dog at a time during the week at weekends I would be able to take 2 dogs

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large enclosed back garden which is easily accessible from the house so your dog would have free access to it for comfort breaks and play. Dogs can be crated if required and will be allowed on the sofa but must be able to sleep alone as no dogs will be allowed on beds, my own dog sleeps in a crate at night however as long as yours is happy to sleep in their own bed/crate then they will be allowed in bedroom but just not on bed

Home

Lives in a house
Has a fenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has 1 dog
No children present
Dogs not allowed on bed
Dogs allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 0-2 hours

Information Melissa W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any behaviour issues that need to be watched for and anything that needs to be avoided. Must get on well with other dogs

A typical day

A typical day during the week would consist of 2 1hr long walks with up to 7 other dogs, this could be on lead or off lead depending on your dogs recall. Once home there will be lots of time for play and cuddles and even extra walks, this can be tailored for your dogs needs but your dog must be able to do the two walks during the week. On weekends the activity levels will be tailored for your dogs needs.

I work full time as a dog walker in Edinburgh but I am off every weekend and during the week I’m home by 3.30. If you required sitting during the week then your fur baby would come to work with me which would include 2 1hr walks within a pack, this can be on lead or off lead depending on your dogs recall and they would have to get on well with other dogs in order to come out with the pack.
