Trustworthy and Tail-Wagging Dog Sitting Services.

Pet care experience

I have been pet sitting for over a decade for friends and family. My passion for furry friends is without equal, I’ve always had a love and connection with them. I have had lots of experience with many different breeds and a wide variety of ages. I also have experience with dogs that need medication/specific aspects to their routines. I am also fully confident in looking after more than one dog. I have a strong commitment to providing a safe, fun and comfortable environment for all pets in my care.

Having had the pleasure of entrusting my dogs Jake and Ajax, to Rachel's care for over seven years now, I can confidently say that she is an exceptional dog sitter. Regardless of whether it's been a short trip or an extended vacation, Rachel has consistently gone above and beyond to cater to Jake and Ajax's medical and physical needs as they've grown older. Her attentive approach to pet care ensures that Jake and Ajax receive the love, attention, and specialized care they require. Rachel has adeptly managed everything from administering medications to providing tailored exercise routines to keep them healthy and happy. I wholeheartedly recommend Rachel to anyone seeking a compassionate and reliable dog sitter. With Rachel at the helm, you can rest assured that your dogs will be in the best of hands.

Rachel is a wonderful dog sitter for our two elderly dogs and would highly recommend her without hesitation. She is a caring, compassionate and responsible young woman who loves our dogs as her own and they love her back. She has lived in our home with them five times now, usually for two weeks at a time. She copes admirably with all their health needs and administering their numerous medications. She kept us up to date on how they were doing with texts and photos. She's very tidy and I'm sure the house was cleaner when we got back than when we left.

Having had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved cocker spaniel, Leo, to Rachel's care multiple times, I can confidently attest to her exceptional pet-sitting skills. Rachel has gone above and beyond to ensure Leo’s wellbeing, providing him with love, attention, and exercise. Her reliability and genuine affection for animals make her my go-to choice whenever I need someone to look after Leo. She is also very good at tailoring her care. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

Information Rachel M. would like to know about your pet

Please do let me know of any specific requirements for your pets so I can cater for these. If you can give me instructions written down for things like meditation that would be great.

A typical day

I would ask for the owner to tell me what their dog(s) loves to do so I can cater to this. However I live close to many beautiful walks (Water of Leith, the Pentlands, Currie Kirk…), playing fetch or tug of war. Fun activities are a definite but cuddles and time for naps is also needed.
