“Great with awkward pets. Henry (cat) warmed up to him pretty quickly. Will sit with cats for awhile and give them plenty of attention/pets. Keeps place tidy, and will stay in contact with plenty of photos. Happy to do a meet & greet beforehand. Would hire again .”

“Grace looked after our cat whilst we were on holiday. Grace was lovely and done an amazing job, keeping us updated and looking after Molly. Our cat is older now and hates going to the cattery so it was great to be able to keep her at home and know she was in reliable hands! Thank you so much Grace, we would definitely book you again. Thanks also for feeding the fish! Kirstin”
“We have started using Freya to visit our house and let our puppy out, feed and walk her during the day when we are at work. She is a really lovely girl, sends us daily updates, incredibly easy to get hold of and would absolutely trust her with any of my pets. We couldn’t recommend her enough.”

My current schedule allows me to provide care for your pets on the weekends. I currently have open availability for short notice and pre-scheduled bookings. I provide attentive care in my home and the owner’s home. Creating safe, comfortable spaces, maintaining routines, and ensuring companionship, exercise, and personalised attention to each pet.

About: Had dogs my whole life up until recently. In the past ive looked after dogs, cats, a snake, a gecko etc. So quite used to being around different animals. Ive been trusted to look after 4 collies a whippet and a cat for a few days which is maybe my greatest pet sitting accomplishment Routine is very open right now. Like walking or hiking or climbing, so adding any pets into the mix is very doable. Any work I do have I will know in advance and my calender will reflect that. Quiet period just now so very open :) Ground floor flat next to the playing field and park in Westhill so lots of spaces for walking and playing. Flat has doors that can be shut between kitchens and bathrooms etc so younger or more "inquisitive" pets won't be able to get to anything they shouldnt

About: Hi! I’m Kirsty, welcome to my adventures for dogs, offering reliable, safe and enriching care for dogs across Aberdeenshire. I provide small-group or solo countryside adventure walks where dogs enjoy exercise, socialisation and basic training in safe, scenic environments. Every outing is structured, supervised, and tailored to each dog’s needs, with photo updates sent to owners for peace of mind. I also offer: • Drop-in visits & home checks (feeding, toilet breaks, companionship) • Home boarding in your dog’s own home to keep them comfortable in their routine I am fully insured, canine first-aid trained, DBS checked and experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Safety, trust, and genuine care are at the heart of everything I do. Whether your dog needs adventure, daytime care, or overnight support, I treat every dog like my own. Feel free to message me to arrange a free meet & greet. Your dog’s day will be structured, safe, and full of enrichment. For adventure walks, dogs are collected in the morning between 8:00–8:30am. We then travel to carefully selected countryside locations where they enjoy a mix of walking, exploring, supervised play, and basic training exercises. Full adventure sessions last around 5 hours in total, including travel time, with return and drop-off typically between 12:30–1:00pm. Mini adventures take place in the afternoon, with shorter 2-hour outings designed for younger dogs, older dogs, or those who prefer a gentler pace. Throughout the day, dogs are closely supervised at all times, given water, rest breaks, and plenty of positive interaction. You’ll also receive photo updates so you can see what your dog is getting up to. For drop-in visits, I attend your home at agreed times to feed, provide toilet breaks, offer companionship, and check on your dog’s wellbeing. For home boarding (in your home), I maintain your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, and comfort breaks, ensuring they feel secure in their familiar environment. My aim is always a calm, structured, and enjoyable experience that leaves dogs happy, stimulated, and settled when they return home. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priority at all times. I am fully insured and canine first aid trained, with experience handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. All adventure walks are carefully planned using safe, low-traffic countryside routes, with constant supervision and secure transport at all times. Dogs are always managed in small groups to ensure control, comfort, and positive socialisation. I take time to understand each dog’s personality, recall level, and needs so they are placed in suitable groups and environments. I use positive, calm handling methods and never place dogs in unsafe or overwhelming situations. Water, rest breaks, and comfort are provided throughout every outing. For drop-ins and home care, I respect your home fully and follow your instructions closely to maintain your dog’s normal routine and environment. I am also an insured and trusted key handler for peace of mind. Trust is essential — I provide regular updates and photos so you always know your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Kristy was brilliant, cats were very well looked after and she went the extra mile, even switching the garden pond fountain on again after there had been a short power outage so they were oxygenated.”


About: Hello! I have been around animals my whole life and grew up with many dogs on the family farm. I have a dog of my own now and I have absolutely loved training her as a pup and enjoying the beauty of the countryside with her now. My work schedule is pretty structured with every other weekend off and every other Monday and Friday off but I have availability most early mornings and later evenings! I have a secured back garden for any visitors to enjoy along with my very friendly, playful dog. Lots of comfy and quiet spots around the house for any loafers to kick back and chillax!
“Emma was fab with Pippa. She can be a little timid with new people to begin with but Emma gave lots of cuddles and reassurance which was great. Emma took her out for a walk at the local park to let Pippa stretch her legs as well. We have Emma booked in for a weekend stay in December and have no doubts Pippa will be well looked after with lots of cuddles and playtime 😊”

About: I have looked after our family & friends dogs for years. We’ve had 2 family cats for as long as I can remember also. I have a lot of experience with a range of different dog breeds and ages. I adore all dogs!! I will feed, walk and play with your dog. I get an hour for my lunch break and I have evenings off and weekends free to give your cat / dog the attention they desire. I promise to give all dogs the care and attention they require and more, to treat and love them just like I would my own and to follow the instructions giving to me by the owner
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and spend lots of time with my parents’ two border terriers, Bobby and Bertie. I enjoy getting outdoors for regular walks and I’m calm, reliable, and happy to follow each dog’s routine. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means I can fit dog walks and visits easily into my day. I’m available for regular walks, check-ins, and occasional weekend help. When caring for dogs in an owner’s home, I always follow their routine and instructions carefully. I’m respectful of homes, keep dogs secure on walks, and prioritise safety, calm handling, and clear communication.
About: I grew up around animals on a family steading. With horses, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, taking care of animals is what I’m used to. I’ve experience around collies, sheep dogs, labradors and large mix breeds. Trained our Belgian sheepdog in my teens. Very experienced in caring for cats and their sometimes quirky natures! Outside of this I’ve done volunteer work with wild animals in South America - looked after a puma! Not much call for that in Scotland though! 😄 I currently work 9-5, but I’m available for boarding on weekends and dog walking most nights, potentially mornings before work and weekends. Also happy to pet sit at your home if preferable for you & your pet. I live in a flat, but close to beautiful places to go for long walks and I love being out in nature and there’s nothing better than being outside with a dog. Have access to a shared garden.
About: I have been dog sitting for the last 8 years since I was 13 and have had a dog for the last 7 years (part owned due my lifestyle). I have worked in dog kennels so have experience with many different dog breeds, medication, dog behaviours etc . I have also been a dog walker and do some dog sitting. I am very reliable and trustworthy. I am very flexible I work freelance and all over Scotland so can easily work around your schedule. I tend to be based between the Isle of Arran and Edinburgh but travel for work. I am very careful when looking after other people’s pet and like to create a good relationship with them before letting them off the lead (only if owner recommends)
