Tom took care of our pup, Oscar, when we went on vacation for a week. We were a little concerned that Oscar would not get along with Tom's cats but after the first day, our concerns were put to rest. Tom took great care of Oscar and gave us daily updates. Highly recommend Tom. Considering we were traveling for seven days, we put our trust in Tom to take care of Oscar and are pleased with how well he was cared for.

This was my first time leaving my baby girl Kora with anyone. Tara really assured me Kora was good with pictures and updates! I will definitely be being Kora back!

About: I've been fortunate to share my life with multiple dogs throughout my life, giving me a deep understanding of canine behavior and the unique needs of different personalities. I'm comfortable handling packs of dogs, ensuring each receives individual attention while maintaining a harmonious environment. I'm skilled at recognizing and addressing any signs of stress or anxiety in a multi-dog household. Whether it's playtime, mealtimes, or simply providing a calm and comforting presence, I can create a positive and enjoyable experience for all dogs in my care. I am home most of the day after taking the kids to school, I do have a real estate business that requires some of my time. I have a large fenced in back yard and an Irish doodle to keep your pup company. My garage is heated and all kennels are cleaned daily

About: I have recently moved to Scotland from Poland where I spent the last 3 years building a photography business as well as looking after two very energetic huskies. Long walks/runs are a must with this breed and I have a lot of experience doing that. I also looked after a sweet Yorkshire terrier. In October 2023 Molly (bernese mountain dog) joined the family so I have an experience of looking after puppies (big puppies;) ) as well. Since childhood, I have been fortunate to share my life with dogs of various sizes, fostering a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. In addition to my practical experience I possess a strong sense of responsibility and reliability understanding the importance of punctuality and clear communication with clients. I’m experienced in attending dog obedience classes and have basic knowledge how to train your pets. I currently do freelance photography and photo editing and I am available for pet sitting, boarding and dog walking most days of the week. I usually know my schedule week in advance. Before I provide a service I discuss with a clients their pets needs and their routine. I usually try to walk the dogs every two hours, I also have fully fenced (2m high) back garden they can spend time in if wether allows it. I am available to chat about any service you may be interested in.

About: I have always had animals in my life whether it be the small pups, furry kittens, turtles, squirrels, or snakes, I always have loved them all, well, maybe not the reptiles! I have cared for animals of all ages, sizes, and shapes with no issues. I have a big heart open to all animals and always care for them like they are my own. I abide by the rules set place by the owners and always put their needs first. I am a full-time licensed physical therapist. My work schedule varies based upon where I am working and who I’m working for. I’m willing to be flexible with my schedule to help others out when little critters are involved. I currently travel with my job and each placement will have a different housing situation. If I don’t have a fenced in yard then I will need a crate trained animal to make ends meet. I am willing to work with anyone on the housing, yard, crate, etc situation as they arise!
