Pet care experience
Life long dog lover offering trusted and loving ca
Caring for dogs has been a natural part of my life since I was 15, when my family welcomed our first pup. Since then, I’ve lived with and looked after dogs of all sizes—from playful small breeds to gentle giants like the English Mastiff my husband’s family owned. Even during university, I shared my flat with a roommate’s dog for four years, continuing my daily routines of walks, feeding, and playtime. Now based in Edinburgh, we don’t currently have a dog of our own, but we’re never without a furry friend! Family members frequently entrust me with their dogs when they’re away or busy, knowing they’ll be in safe, loving hands. Our home is just steps away from the spacious St. Mark’s Park, where I take dogs to enjoy fresh air, exercise, and social time with other pups. My son is growing up surrounded by dogs, learning from an early age how to treat animals with care and kindness. Whether it's for daily walks, weekend stays, or longer holidays, I treat every dog like family. My son is in school from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and he will never be left alone with the dog. If the dog happens to be with us while my son is home, all interactions will be fully supervised all time.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a spacious, pet-friendly flat in Edinburgh with plenty of room for dogs to relax and feel at home. Our home is calm, clean, and welcoming—perfect for dogs of all sizes. We also have access to a securely fenced shared garden that dogs can safely enjoy for fresh air and sniffing around. Inside, dogs are treated like part of the family. I follow each pet’s unique routine and preferences, whether it’s their feeding schedule, walking habits, or favorite toys and snuggle spots. Since I live next to St. Mark’s Park, one of the most popular dog parks in the area, daily outdoor time is never an issue. Your dog will have a comfortable, safe environment here with plenty of attention, affection, and structured activity.

Schedule
I work from home on a flexible, project-based schedule, which allows me to devote plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. Most days, I’m based in Edinburgh, as my son attends school here and we follow a regular daily routine around his drop-off and pick-up times. This structure allows me to schedule walks, playtime, and feeding comfortably throughout the day. While I occasionally travel for short work trips or during school holidays, I always make sure my availability is clearly updated in advance. When I’m home, which is most of the time, caring for dogs fits naturally into my lifestyle—I genuinely enjoy having canine company as part of our everyday life.
