Pet care experience
Happy Paws Dog Walking
Hi , I am Monika, a dog walker covering mainly South of Edinburgh and Loanhead. As an owner of lively Pug, I know that daily walks don't only provide our dogs with good exercise but are great for our pooches minds too! An active dog has less behavioral issues and lives a happier life.Every pet that I look after gets lots of exercise, positive reinforcement, verbal praise and an occasional treat. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need to discuss any additional requirements regarding your dog care. Places that we explore include Craigmillar Castle Park, Mortonhall, Blackford hill, and many more.

Ratings and reviews
I would highly recommend Monika. Teddy was well looked after and we had daily updates and photos showing how he had settled with her and the other dogs
Monika is a lovely lady as well as an experienced dog carer and a dog owner herself. My dog stayed with Monika for a week first time recently so naturally the dog who is very timid would have been a little anxious. Monika made sure my dog settled in well, she sent lots of lovely reassuring photos to me. I felt my dog was in good hands. Thank you Monika!
Thank you Monika for having Jasper on his holiday while we were on ours. A lovely meet and greet in advance so that I could see whwere he would be staying, see that the other dogs were all happy and relaxed and that Jasper would settle. I wasnt rushed, and Monika asked lots of questions abour Jasper. Jasper stayed a week, we got daily updates from his walk and she was always very prompt to reply to any messages. Jasper left very happy and I would definately book Monika again. Thank you 🐶
Love leaving Evie with Monika. Have used her service many times. Daily pics and updates, the company of other dogs (which mine loves, especially on walks). Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. I always have a happy dog at the end :-)
Bertie had a great time staying at Monika’s while we were away for a few days. Thanks Monika for keeping us up to date with photos of him having lots of fun out on walks!
It was such a blessing to have Monika to take care of our boy Louis, after we had an emergency situation and had to find a sitter in such a hurry. She responded me swiftly, all communication was super clear, she was very understanding and helpful throughout and even agreed to come a longer way for pick-up, and made our day while we were under stress. Louis had great days with long walks with other canine friends, and it was such a relief for us to see updates from Monika with happy pictures. She also helped Louis to give daily medication, and Louis was really looked after well and relaxed. We cannot thank Monika enough!!!
