“Midge and Zog had a great walk with Jennifer in Dundonald Glen. Her communication was good and prompt, I'm not a regular Rover user, but I'd be happy to use Jennifer again.”

“We had a fantastic experience with Rebecca. For four days, she dropped by to check on our cat, Lila, and walk our dog, Mia. Rebecca was incredibly professional, always on time, and communicated well about her visits. We highly recommend Rebecca for anyone needing a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

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.

“Great dog walker sent pics and details of walk, our dog can be a bit barks but Denise was not phased by this. Thank Denise for looking after Orla”

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.

About: Hello, my name is Shannon Laird and I am 27 years old. I currently work part time as an Ice Cream Factory Worker but would enjoy nothing more than my free time to be taken up with lots of cute faces and wagging tails! I have been around animals my full life, once having more than 30 animals in my home including dogs, cats, birds, snakes and fish. This has given me heaps of experience like how to teach a dog simple tricks, walking dogs, bathing, puppy toilet training and how to handle animals properly physically and behaviourally. I enjoy long walks in the countryside which any dog is sure to be thrilled with and your pet will never feel alone with me around. I am a happy, cheerful and caring person who wants to give a little back to the animals that help me so much. At my home, I have a 22 month old girl and a 4 year old cat. Your furry friend must be experienced around young children and/or mild tempered/easy-going. My child will be present for the most party during any dog walking and during daycare. I work part time and I am a full time mum to a 22 month old girl. I have time on my days off to care for your pets or walk your pets, my child will be present for the most part during these stays/visits. I have a fenced garden and stair gates in the home. I have lots of space for your furry friend to move around and they will be allowed on the couch to chill and cuddle!

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.

“Emma is an angel! She has taken my 2 furbabies for a few walks now and they are already firm friends, as I have a broken ankle she has gone above and beyond making sure they get their exercise, happy dogs and tired every time they come home!”

About: I have always had pets in my home (mostly cats and dogs). I dog walk for a variety of my friends and family and have experience dog walking different breeds. I also cat sit and many have been cats that are rescued. I am excited to become and dog walker and pet sitter when required! I have recently went self employed and have so much time to dog walk and cat/dog sit when required. I prefer being self employed meaning i can do this when I want to and which best suits the owner. I am such an animal lover and want to spend time caring/ looking after animals as I see this as more of a hobby compared to a job because I love it so much. I’ve walked dogs small and large and have gained experience feeding, walking and bathing dogs.
