Active couple near the beach and cycle paths

Myself and my partner Brendan have always been dog lovers and have always had dogs in our families and friend groups (and get more excited to see them when visiting!). We are energetic and enjoy being outdoors. It would be our pleasure giving our attention to a furry friend, due to our work we cannot commit to one full time right now so we would love to give our time to yours! A mix of walks, playtime and cuddles would be on the agenda for your pups stay. We both helped a friend deliver cavapoo puppies and looked after them regularly until they were ready to move to their forever homes. We also have experience training our family dogs (basics to fun tricks).

Nicole and her partner are fantastic dog sitters - would highly recommend! Penny had a brilliant time (she didn’t want to leave when we picked her up 😂) and was well and truly spoiled! 5⭐️

Hamish had his first overnight stay with Nicole and he was a very, well looked after wee boy. I received lots of photos of him looking happy content, he was well walked and played in the park. When I collected him, Nicole seemed genuinely very fond of him - I will definitely use Nicole again 😊

Hamish was very happy with Nicole. It was his first visit and he was very curious but settled quickly. Nicole sent me photos during the day of them cuddling at home and out walking - Hamish was obviously having a good time. When I collected him, I heard all about his day and Nicole seemed genuinely fond if him. I definitely recommend Nicole and will happily take Hamish there again.

5 star as always!! Ghillie loves his stays. I just have to mention Nicole and Brendan’s name and he gets excited. He knows which door is theirs on the street and will run up to it. That’s how I know he is in great hands when with them.

Schedule

We work from home some days and would love to spend break time walks with a furry companion. We would be available for boarding from Thursday evening for the weekend and would love to take your pup exploring with us, whether that is a long walk in the pentlands or down to the beach or park for a coffee.

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a townhouse within a complex but it is right bedside the cycle paths which lead directly to the park or beach so great walking routes for dogs. Our house is pet friendly as we already pet sit for friends and family.

A typical day

We will be keeping busy by playing a bunch of different games, trying some tricks and going for walks to the nearby parks and beaches! and ofcourse lots of cuddles.
