About: I have grown up with both dogs, cats and small animals and have been a dog walker/pet sister since 2024. I also have my own dog. I have looked after various ages or pets and given medications and catered for various dietary requirements. I am currently a dog walker/pet sitter and have various spaces throughout my dog to fit it pets sit or dog walks when requirement for your pets. I would care for your pets in your home just like I would care for my own dog and have clients who could give references if required too

About: I’ve been passionate about animals since childhood, left school and completed animal care HNC at college, have owned and rescued my own dogs for the last 14 years. Currently have a 4 year old Doberman and 5 year old cocker spaniel. Have spent a lot time with both in training and both are very dog neutral. I am home during the day with lots of time for walks and love getting out exploring with them in the evenings and weekends I work from home so I am available anytime of the day for my dogs, walks in the morning, lunchtimes and evenings, during lighter nights/mornings and weekends we regularly go up Bennachie and surrounding areas. I have a fully fenced and locked back garden, front garden is also fully fenced and enclosed. Both my dogs are very friendly, not crated however I can accommodate a crate if required. Dogs have full access downstairs however I don’t allow pets on furniture (I wouldn’t get on my sofa with a Doberman and spaniel taking up space 😂) My back garden has direct access to a large park.

About: I’m a genuine dog lover with over 15 years of experience owning and caring for my own dog, who sadly passed away recently. Having a dog was a huge part of my life, and I really miss the companionship, which is why I’m looking to spend time caring for and walking other people’s dogs when they’re away or need an extra helping hand. I work offshore on a 2-weeks away / 3-weeks at home rotation, which means when I’m home I have plenty of time, flexibility, and attention to give. During my time at home, I’m available for dog walking, daytime care, and holiday sitting. I’m also a dad to two children (a 7-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl). When they’re with me, they absolutely love being around dogs and are very calm, gentle, and respectful. Any dog in my care would be treated like part of the family, with plenty of attention, walks, and affection. I’m reliable, patient, and understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. Happy to chat, meet beforehand, and answer any questions.

During my time at home, I’m available for dog walking, daytime care, and holiday sitting. I treat every pet like part of the family. They’ll always be fully supervised, with plenty of playtime and fun in the garden, as well as lots of lovely walks — including hill walks where suitable. I focus on keeping pets happy, active, and well cared for, with plenty of attention and play throughout the day.

About: I have grown up with a Labrador’s my whole life, and love to be around any type of dog. I helped to train my current Labrador when he was a puppy. I also used to work in a pet shop, that predominantly sold dog supplies, therefore I have a lot of experience with many types of dogs. I have currently just graduated from university, therefore I have a lot of free time and can work any day or time of the week. In my household I am the main person that takes care of my dog, and do so in many ways. Such as, I walk, play with and feed him every single day

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!

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.

“Tyra provided really good updates with pictures and a note on every visit. She took good care of Frankie. We didn’t have to worry at all while we were away, thank you Tyra!”

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

“We asked Kristy to do a drop in service to feed our cat while we were away for a few days. Kristy was brilliant on keeping us up to date with how Smoky was doing and sent us pictures each day. We came home to a content cat. Thank you Kristy!”

About: I have always been a massive dog lover, and grew up surrounded by them! Then i adopted my own boy, Teddy who is a 9 year old whippet. I have had him for 7 years and he is the sweetest boy, i am fully obsessed with him. My husband has rescued dogs from a young age and along with his older brother, they trained many dogs who had behavioral issues. I have experience looking after puppies to senior pups. I am the go to dog sitter for all my family and friends. I currently work Monday - Thursday 8-4.30pm. I would be available any evening and all day Friday - Sunday Teddy is walked for 1-1.5 hours a day and when i am at work he is at my in-laws getting all the attention and snacks he needs/wants There is no place your dog wouldn't be allowed, they would sleep in my room with me, i would even share my bed if they wanted to! If you prefer your dog to stay in a crate, that also wouldn't be an issue and i wouldn't allow Teddy to use it. Your dog would be supervised at all times in my house and outside. I prefer to walk Teddy instead of just letting him out in the garden to do the toilet so he can get a good sniff.

About: I have experience with: - Small, medium, large and XL dog breeds - Puppy specific needs - Senior dog care - Reactive dogs - Dogs with specific medical needs - Re-homed dogs - Multiple dog households I am happy to adapt to whichever routine you have in place. I will stop by to give belly rubs and a toilet break, or I can walk/run/train/stimulate your hyper-energetic pup so they can settle down while you are away. Any questions please don't hesitate to ask, I also have experience with smaller pets, cats and horses if there are other jobs to be doing while I'm there. I am on a career break and have moved back home whilst myself, my wife and two dogs are house hunting. That means I'm super flexible with timings, if you need pet care in the morning, afternoon, or evening then I would love to have a chat. Trust is extremely important to me. I want you and your pet to be comfortable with my service, so anything I can do on top of regular communication and live updates please let me know. Safety and security of your pet and home goes without saying. If my visits are going well and I have built a strong relationship with your pet(s) then overnight/multiple days/weeks of care can be discussed.

“Such a lovely girl and very attentive. Was great to receive updates and even my cat who is usually scared to come out to new people made an appearance. Will definitely use again. Thank to Daisy ☺️”

Sarah is a stay at home mum who walks the dogs during the day. Dogs get regular access to the fenced back garden to play. Fenced back garden. Drinking water always available. Plenty of company for dogs who come to stay, be it playing with Jethro & Judi or sitting up on the sofa with the humans.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, from kittens to horses—but my love for dogs truly sets me apart. Growing up with a Great Dane and later sharing 14 wonderful years with my Black Lab-Staffie mix until he crossed the rainbow , I understand the deep bond between pets and their owners. Now, I have a lively 7-month-old Lab-Collie cross who keeps me on my toes and continues to fuel my passion for dogs. My love for animals runs in the family, passed down from my grandmother. I’ve never known a time without a dog in my life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I had my first experience walking dogs as a teenager in my hometown of Whiteford, and while it was only for a brief period, it sparked my passion for working with animals. Since then, I have gained hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds, including French Bulldogs, Jack Russell's, Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Great Danes, and many more I also have experience caring for dogs with health conditions, particularly arthritis and allergies. My Lab-Staffie, Alfie, developed arthritis in his back leg as he got older, so I understand the importance of gentle exercise, proper pain management, and making adjustments to keep an aging dog comfortable. He was also highly allergic and very sensitive, which gave me firsthand experience in managing dietary restrictions and sensitivities. To deepen my knowledge, I am currently undertaking a nutritional course for dogs, allowing me to better understand how diet impacts a dog's overall health and well-being.In addition to senior dogs, I have experience with puppies. I’ve had my Lab-Collie, Hades, since he was just 9 weeks old, and I currently care for two puppies under 12 months, one of whom I’ve been walking and looking after since June 2024. To deepen my knowledge, I am also undertaking a nutritional course for dogs, allowing me to better understand how diet impacts a dog's overall health and well-being at all life stages. I believe every animal should feel safe and comfortable with their caregiver, and I pride myself on providing patient, reliable, and loving care. I am fully insured and First Aid trained, ensuring your pet is in safe hands. Owner of Alfie’s Haven (formerly Adventurous Paws) 📍 Location: Inverurie & surrounding areas (must be accessible by bus while I learn to drive) 🐶 Services: Dog walking, pet care ✅ Insured & First Aid Trained DBS Checked. If you're looking for a caring and experienced dog walker, I’d love to help! Pet care is a core part of my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time, about 15 hours a week, which gives me ample time to care for animals. Each day, I start with two 30-minute walks at 10 AM and 1 PM. These walks are a daily ritual, ensuring the dogs are engaged and exercised. I work two evenings a week, which still allows me to devote plenty of time to pet care activities and maintain a balanced routine. When caring for pets in their owner's home or out on walks, I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment. **In the Owner's Home:** - **Safety:** I ensure the home is pet-proofed, removing any hazards like toxic plants and securing loose wires. - **Trust:** Building a bond with the pet is crucial. I spend time getting to know the pet, understanding their habits, and respecting their space. - **Environment:** Maintaining a calm and familiar environment helps pets feel secure and comfortable. **Out on Walks:** - **Safety:** I use secure leashes and harnesses to prevent escapes and stay vigilant to avoid potential dangers like traffic or other aggressive animals. - **Trust:** Consistent and positive reinforcement builds a strong bond, making walks enjoyable and stress-free. - **Environment:** Providing a mix of exercise and mental stimulation, I choose routes that are safe, clean, and engaging. Consistency in routine helps pets feel at ease. My approach ensures pets are well-cared for, whether at home or on walks, always prioritizing their well-being and happiness.

“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 had dogs growing up, variation in sizes. In the last 7 years I have dog sat for family and friends, including day and overnight stays. I recently dog sat a friends puppy for a week so was closely involved in puppy training. I work full time hours in elderly care. I would say I am a very kind and caring person. My shifts are varied and change weekly however I still remain flexible and willing to fit dog care into my schedule. I live in a flat, however there is a gated shared garden. Dog sitting at the pet owner’s home is preferable if possible. I would ensure high and clean standards are upheld in the pet owner’s home and remain respectful and considerate in their home.

About: I’m an energetic pet sitter ready for any tasks whether that’s walks, drop ins or over night stays. I’m flexible with timings and care for different types of pets I would be able weekends for all types of services and the occasional evenings during the week depending on my schedule and varing shift patterns I can provide care for animals within my Own home or at their home I have a open garden area for the dogs (not fenced)
