Margaret looked after our cat Flokki for 2 weeks while we visited family in America. I actual can't thank her enough for the amazing job she done. I was very nervous about leaving him, but she really put my mind at ease. She messaged us every day with a photo of our boy. We will definitely be using her again. ❤️

Rebecca was so understanding and accommodating for me and my Ruby, and I felt like nothing was too much trouble. My cat is super cautious and shy but warmed to Rebecca immediately, making me look like a liar - which in this case I’m thrilled about! Rebecca sent me updates from every drop in and I was able to enjoy my trip away knowing Ruby was as happy as she could be. I would recommend her highly, thank you Rebecca, your kindness and respect to Ruby’s boundaries was so appreciated.

Would highly recommend Eleanor to anyone looking for a catsitter! My 3 cats were all very well looked after while we were away on holiday. We got lots of pictures and videos of them every day which was lovely to see. Eleanor looked after them like they were her own and it looked like they were loving all the treats and cuddles!

Ailsa took wonderful care of my two cats, providing drop in visits. Nothing was too much trouble, my girls have clearly had a fantastic time (especially with their beloved spider toy 😂) and have been well cared for. Excellent communication and the updates from each visit put my mind at ease as it was clear to see Ailsa’s trustworthy care. Will absolutely be booking Ailsa again!

Casey is a good dog sitter. We had her drop in to feed our dog and play for a bit. She came to our home before to make sure our dog was comfortable with her. Would recommend

Aileen looked after our two cats for a week over Christmas and did an amazing job. As it was their first time away from home I was quite nervous, but Aileen quickly reassured me and kept me updated with photos throughout their stay. She gave them plenty of attention and care, and the pick-up and drop-off service made everything so easy. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs all my life and I cared for and trained horses since a teenager. I currently don't have any pets but I have missed having animals in my life so I'm happy to help out with yours however I can. I love to brag that one of my cats growing up would only let me touch her and spend all her house time in my room and so I'm confident I can make your cat feel just as comfortable and safe. I have cared for both indoor and outdoor cats so I can offer a range of support needs depending on your cat's living situation. I have looked after cats with a range of personalities so I am very comfortable reading their body language and knowing how to use physical touch for comfort and when to leave them to themselves. I grew up with working dogs, 2 labradors and 1 springer spaniel, and I campaigned to my parents relentlessly to let them be house dogs. I eventually succeeded and it brings me so much joy to see them settle into their retirement on the sofa. Having cared for them most of their lives as working dogs, I am very comfortable training dogs and maintaining training habits. No matter what stage of training your dog has, I am happy to continue with whatever routines you have in place. I have most recently looked after a dachshund puppy and a 2-year-old covid puppy great dane, both requiring almost constant attention and care. This is no problem for me, I have nothing but time to give your pup to meet their unique needs. I am currently unemployed after being made redundant just before Christmas, as such I am taking time out of employed work for a change of pace. I am free on weekdays, weekends and evenings and I am happy to fit in with your schedule as needed. I live alone in a ground-floor flat with access to a grassy area perfect for quick bathroom tips. The building is quiet and located on a low-traffic road and is home to several pet owners. I live just a 5-minute walk from Glasgow Green which is ideal for longer walks and also has access to a dog park if your dog requires socialisation time with other dogs. I am happy to follow your dog's socialisation preferences and if contact with other dogs makes your pup nervous I can make sure to plan a route to take that into account. I also have sole access to a car with a full clean licence and I would love to take your dog on trips further afield for variety if you'd like. Whilst at home I can promise your dog will be fed and cared for according to your established schedule and play and cuddle your dog according to theirs. If you have any specific care requirements including things like crating, medication, or anything at all, I'm happy to accommodate and learn how best to care for your dog in your absence.

My dog Louie absolutely loved Angela. Angela walked Louie for a week at lunchtime and sent me pictures and updates of times of walks. As we were on holiday, it was such a reassurance that Louie was well loved and walked as my daughter who was looking after dog was working. Fabulous service and would 100% recommend. Thank you Angela

About: I had a Belgian Malinois from the age of 9 to 19 and always took great care of her - took her out for walks every morning and evening, prepared her food, and played with her until she'd decide she needs a break (which definitely took a while). I've also helped my parents train her as a puppy, so I know when to practice restraint and when to show all the love I have for the pet. As of right now, I'm available any time of any day, so I'd be happy to spend as much time as necessary with your pet(s)! I love animals with all my heart and love looking after them with utmost care. I'm an active and clear communicator, and like to ask questions to guarantee your pet's happiness. I'm also deeply respectful of others and their own way of looking after their pets and their space, so would be happy to adhere to any specifications you might have.

About: As a 4th-year veterinary medicine student at the University of Glasgow, caring for animals isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. I’ve managed a cattery, looked after my own beloved dogs and cats, and regularly cared for pets belonging to friends and family. Over the past four years, I’ve gained hands-on experience in various veterinary practices, deepening both my clinical skills and my understanding of what pets truly need to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it's cuddles, playtime, or medication support, I treat every pet like my own—with patience, compassion, and genuine care. I am currently transitioning into my final year at vet school which is claiming to be very full on leaving little free time however I update my calendar regularly so it’s usually accurate. With this being said I always try my best to fit in walks and drop ins so please do reach out and we can try sort something! I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet's needs. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping to their routine to ensure they feel safe and comfortable.

Jennifer exceeded our expectations greatly. Her regular updates were wonderful. Jennifer’s communication was excellent. The care, respect and love she gave our cat was excellent! We will most certainly book Jennifer again to look after our girl when we next go away. I would 100% recommend Jennifer! She is just fantastic!

About: I am a 30 year old woman with a 4 year old Siberian husky and a 2 year old tabby cat. I am an animal lover and like being outside come rain or shine so be assured your pets will have the best walks or cuddles asked for. I have been brought up around animals my entire life with both sisters having 2 dogs each and my parents having a family dog whilst growing up. I do work full time as a teacher but I have various holidays throughout the year where I am able to walk or have your animal overnight if you are away. Walking your dog or cuddling your cat is at the highest priority. I am very trust worthy when entering your home. I will send details of my visit and pictures of your pet being looked after and attended to.

About: I’ve had vizslas for around 20 years now, as a teenager we had one in the family home and when he sadly passed we fostered several and one long term. When I moved out I got my own vizsla puppy and he’s 3.5 now but still my big baby. Arlo was a very challenging puppy and although he is still high energy he’s a very good boy and loves to sleep inbetween walks. Arlo is not a morning person and would happily sleep until lunchtime most days, he needs 1.5-2 hours walks a day and has severe separation anxiety so is never left alone. He absolutely loves toys especially a ball or frisbee on a walk but he’s happy to share and never takes them off another dog. He loves to chase and be chased by his many doggy friends and has never shown any aggressions what so ever. Any time he’s given a telling off by another dog he takes the telling and doesn’t annoy them. I’ve had plenty of other family/friends dogs in our home or theirs and arlo and I both love it! Arlo sleeps in my bed cuddled in under the covers which is ridiculous but doggy guests will have the choice of a double bed in the other room, the sofa or their beds whatever suits them. Ofcourse they are allowed on the sofas and have full access to Arlo’s toys and garden. I work from home full time and as Arlo has separation anxiety he is never left alone. I work full time from home and my shifts vary slightly from 8-4,10-6 and 6-2. I walk Arlo twice per day for around 2 hours total and let him out to run around the garden as often as he likes. Another buddy for him during boarding would not change much for us just another pup to love. I have an open plan living space with a large turfed garden. I live right next to a great off lead walking spot and know all the local dogs who Arlo is of course friends with. I can accommodate needs as requested and although Arlo has full run of the house I can crate visiting dogs if needed. I will monitor the dogs at all times and send regular update pics and videos. I’m happy to have a free meet and greet/home tour prior to any bookings to ensure the dogs get along and are familiar with each other. Guest dogs will be equipped with an Apple air tag during walks for extra safety precautions.

About: I look after cats as if they were my own, getting to know their routine and personality so they feel comfortable and settled at home. I keep things calm and familiar, with plenty of care, attention, and the kind of company your cat actually enjoys. I’ll also send regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well looked after while you’re away. I have my own cat Oreo, he’s a cheeky well loved boy who loves to play and get up to nonsense. I work 2 shifts per week so have plenty of flexibility around your pet, I can come morning and night-time on work days and anytime during my days off. I care for pets in their own home, keeping to their usual routine so they feel safe and comfortable. Visits include feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, playtime or calm company, and lots of care and attention. I always follow your instructions and send regular updates, so you know your cat is happy while you’re away.
