Highlights
Pet care experience
Give your pet a best friend to stay with them!
I have over 12 years of experience of taking care of dogs and several years taking care of cats. For dogs, my main experience is with German Shepherds as I have had them as family dogs since I was born as well as sometimes training my uncles Belgian Shepherds. Since moving to Scotland, I've had my own German Shepherd Chase(4,5 years old) for just over 2,5 years now as well as fostered Noah(2 year old Romanian Rescue), Maverick(10 month old Romanian rescue) and Kairo(6 month old Belgian Malinois). I am happy to use any specific tools, toys you may require for the dog, any play styles, feeding schedules and medication needs as well as do some basic training such as crate training, sit, down, stay, their name etc... For cats, I'm most comfortable with indoor cats as that what I am used to, feeding, playing and cleaning litter trays.

When I am in your home, I will treat it with respect, ensuring to follow any rules set. More importantly, I will love your pet and take care of them as if it's my own whilst still adhering to any rules and restrictions set such as diet, exercise needs, medication etc.
Ratings and reviews
Rick and Emma were very responsive from day one. Our elder cat, who has a kidney condition, was taken care of incredibly well. They managed her needs perfectly alongside our younger cat, despite their different feeding schedules. We received regular updates and photos whenever we needed them. When we returned, the house was left exactly as it was, and the garden and greenhouse watering were fully taken care of, even as our greenhouse transformed into an Amazonian jungle! They also kept a full feeding chart for our older cat, which was very helpful since she needs to be monitored closely. Emma even ensured that we had safely landed before leaving, making sure our elder cat wouldn't be left alone for hours. We would highly recommend them!
Jess was so well looked after, we got regular updates and were able to enjoy our friend's wedding knowing she was safe and happy 😊 Thank you!
Very communicative and accommodating. They did everything they said they would with updates. So very glad I found them on Rover and absolutely would not hesitate to use them again. Thankyou again to the both of you .
I was absolutely delighted with the care Rick and Emma provided for Bernie and Lori. Knowing they were being so well looked after meant I could fully enjoy my holiday without any worries. I received regular updates and photos after each visit, which was very reassuring. When I returned home, they had even left a detailed chart showing everything they had done, which I thought was a nice touch. I would definitely use their service again and would recommend them to others.
Another successful pet sitting over 5 days, I would highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
1st time using the house sitting service. Absolutely delighted with the sitters, dog and home cared for. Would highly recommend.
