“Only drop in visit but kept updated and had lovely photos from his walk!”
2. Alison K.
“Alison met Sombra ( my almost well behaved cat 🙂 ) a few days before Alsion was left in charge 🙂. What a lovely warm welcome and I was so pleased to leave her in charge. Alison took on board everything I said and Sombra ( the almost well behaved house cat ) really enjoyed Alisons visits. I was kept up to date on all her cheeky antics and was sent daily updates which included photos/videos and a care log. I know for sure Sombra (my wee silly cat) would love to see Aloson again - once I'm away on my adventures again 🙂 - Thankyou so much Alison, you really looked afyer my princess well. P.s - I'm sure she misses you more than me 💕💕”

6. Mairi M.
About: I have been walking and training dogs since I was young and have grown up surrounded by them, I love being out in nature and would love a dog to come along with me. I work 4pm-8pm over the weekends and would love a dog to walk before and after, or any time during the week that suits ur dog. I have a secure back garden, and live right next to lots of lovely walks and big open fields. I’m very good with training and handling of any age of dog and have been especially good with bigger dogs in the past.
7. Shreyas R.
“Shreyas is an amazing pet caregiver! He took care of my male Persian cat with such gentleness and care, and it was clear my cat enjoyed his company. His compassion shines through in everything he does, even stopping to play with strays while out on walks. Shreyas truly has a way with animals and treats them with the love they deserve. Highly recommend!”
8. India O.
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and I loved caring for them. I took care of my siblings dogs from when they were puppies and I loved it! I now have a dog of my own (2 years) she’s a nervous dog and I have gained a lot of experience in reactivity and how to deal with dogs of all kinds. I love playing with dogs and doing whatever makes their little tail wag! I am also currently studying Animal care a the barony and love working in the kennels! I am currently working and at college studying animal care but will be finishing up at the end of May so will have more free time! I would say I am very trustworthy due to having such a hyper active dog myself! I am very observant and I will always stick to the dogs routine as I know personally how much it can affect them if you don’t!
9. Rebecca S.
