House Sitting in East Ayrshire

“Just back from 4 nights away, and Ebony stayed at my house with our 3 dogs. We are very happy with Ebonys services and will 100% use her again. Ebony kept in touch regularly while we were away and sent photos of the dogs looking very happy. She looked after them and our house as if they were her own. Definitely recommend! Thanks again Ebony ❤️”

About: I’ve been a dog person since I was 11, when my first dog Lady came into my life unexpectedly and utterly changed it. She was re-homed with us when her family moved abroad and from the moment she arrived, she became my dog. That bond was instant, magical, and honestly addictive. Since then, I’ve owned, loved, boarded, walked, and cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes and my life is fuller for it. I believe dogs are basically permanently furry toddlers. They need love, routine, reassurance, stimulation, and above all someone who treats them with the same care you’d give your own child. That’s exactly the kind of care I provide. I offer a calm, safe, affectionate home environment with plenty of company, structured walks, and space to relax. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality and routine so they feel secure and at ease while you’re away. Whether they’re a nervous first timer or a seasoned house guest, I tailor care to suit them. I’m happy to stay overnight, keeping your dog comfy, safe, and spoiled in their own space. You can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for like one of the family. My regular availability for boarding is Friday evening from 7pm to Monday evening at 7pm, ( I can collect) perfect for weekend getaways or short breaks. I also have extra time during the summer holidays and festive periods, so feel free to reach out, I’m always happy to help if I can! If boarding with me your pet will have access to a secure, fenced garden for outdoor time and play. While I don’t have crates myself, I’m more than happy for your dog to bring their own bed, crate, blankets, or comfort items, whatever helps them relax and feel at ease.

“Stephanie looked after our miniature dachshund for the weekend and she was absolutely fantastic. It's the first time we have left our dog and we couldn't have been more reassured by Stephanie's kind nature & care towards Willow. Willow was well looked after and if anything, very sad when Stephanie left! Thank you so much Stephanie!”

About: I’ve previously owned dogs, cats and horses and work in a doggy day care. I’m understanding of any breeds and personalities of all kinds of dogs I currently work Tuesday- Friday and off the weekend and Mondays to do some extra shifts playing and taking care of more dogs around the area I love to walk for hours so why not use that benefit and help you walk your dogs in lovely areas when timing in a struggle especially in winter

“Jennifer is just THE BEST. We booked her to stay in our home with our dog, a staffie named Ringo, for two weeks and we could not have asked for a better experience. She visited us not once but twice (at our request) prior to the booking to ensure we were confident and comfortable. Ringo had the time of his life with Jennifer. She took him on so many walking adventures – and she provided photos and videos of them every single day. Ringo says she was a magnificent cuddler, too. In the past, we kennelled him at a “luxury” kennel but we worried about how much time he was spending alone. It always put a damper on our trips away as we worried about him and this time, we had no worries at all. Jennifer communicated with us multiple times each day. There were a couple of unexpected events (power outage for one) and Jennifer handled them with grace. We were relaxed and happy because we knew Ringo was, too.”

“Róisín and Edward were lovely with my two dogs from our first meeting until the end of the week-long dogsitting arrangement. This was the first time I left Axel and Hawk for longer than a few days with someone new, while leaving the country. However, I felt relaxed as Róisín and Edward made sure to send me photos of happy dogs on walks and at home, and asked me questions if they were unsure of something (which I always appreciate!).”

“Siobhan looked after my two year old dog Ollie for 4 days. She was very thoughtful and considerate throughout. She came to meet Ollie before we agreed to proceed with the dog sitting.. Siobhan asked lots of questions and showed a genuine interest in Ollie's routine and temperament. During her time dog sitting she sent some lovely photos of him enjoying his time with her. It looked like they got on well. Communication was easy and pleasant throughout. Siobhan left my house nice and tidy and she stripped the bed. Ollie was happy and relaxed on my return. I was delighted to have such a gentle, considerate and kind person to look after my precious dog at short notice. I would definitely book her again.”

“Mollie helped us out after a last minute cancellation. She was friendly and professional. Our dog Whisky took to her immediately and we didn’t have any issues leaving him with her. When we came back he was happy and content. We got photo updates throughout. Great communication. Thank you again!”

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'm currently off university for the summer, so I'm available most days and times unless I'm on placement. During term time, I'm free most evenings and weekends, except for Wednesdays and Fridays. I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet's needs, whether in my home or the owner's. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping to their routine to ensure they feel safe and comfortable.

“Cloe looked after Lilo for a long weekend while I was away home! She was confident in taking on a reactive girl & made me feel really assured she was okay with this. Cloe keep in touch & provided updates & photos! My house was also pristine when I came home! I’d highly recommend Cloe & will absolutely be using her in future ☺️”

“Chrissy kindly came to sit our 11 month old Labradoodle for a night and we couldn't have wished for anyone better! Chrissy was amazing with her communication, came for a meet and greet beforehand, and sent us lots of photos of them having fun together whilst we were away. We felt really reassured about leaving Kip with Chrissy, even with some of his bad behaviors (jumping up and food stealing), which she seemed to handle really well. We'll definitely reach out to Chrissy if needed again.”

About: I grew up on a farm so have an all round love of animals in general. I currently have Nevis a 4 year old, one eyed English Bulldog and also previously had a Samoyed, Shih Tzu and Boxer so have varied breed experience. You can see in my photos I cared for a litter of puppies which gave me great experience but taught me I was not destined to be a breeder. As you can see in the photos all of the puppies are very close to us and I see them regularly. Happy to look after any animals following owners usual routine. All requests will be assessed to ensure I can meet your needs and I will not commit if I am not right for you and your pet. All areas and dates between those above considered. I am insured, DBS in progress and registered with National Association of Registered Pet Sitters and Dog Walkers. My current career is in pharmaceutical and life science auditing and compliance so training and legislation is a key aspect aspect to me. Any pet sits would be fully assessed before commiting to ensure they are my priority and can have my full attention. I follow owners schedule requested. No change to pet's daily life. If i cannot fulfill the owners requests then I will not commit. I treat pets exactly as owner requests following their own routine in the comfort of their own home. My goal is for the pet to feel safe, relaxed and loved.

“Apologies we have just remember to complete a review for you! We messaged Alice on Tuesday on Rover and had arranged for her to come meet us and our pugs on Thursday, with a view to her staying overnight with our dogs on the Saturday. Alice has a lovely manner and she was very patient with our dogs who are like a whirlwind when anyone arrives at our door. She fed them some treats and clapped them and was comfortable with them. We got chatting to her and let her know what we would like to happen when looking after our dogs and she was very accommodating, she also spoke about her love for dogs and we could see this with how good she was with our two. After she had left we decided that we would be more than comfortable to have her come and stay overnight at ours and look after our dogs and proceeded with the booking. Through her stay at our house she provided texts in the evening and in the morning to let us know how the dogs were which put our mind at ease. Would definitely recommend and use again, thank you!”

“Aileen was a star from start to finish, regular updates and photos. Alfie loved her and we came home to a clean, tidy house and a happy, well looked after Labrador. Great service from a lovely lady.”

“Denise and her partner were great sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Our dog and cat were very happy with them, and Denise sent us daily updates. The house was spotless when we returned - the bedding was even laundered and fresh towels put in the bathroom. They even thought to leave us bread, milk and butter. So thoughtful, communication was excellent and it felt good to know our home and pets were so well looked after.”

About: Iv grown up with dogs ...i now breed them..I've got 3 golden retrievers , who i adore. They go walks 3 times a day, have a large garden to play in, although they have ruined my nice garden, with big holes 🙂 they all get along, i even have a cat , and he gets on with dogs. I only work 2 evenings a week, Friday and sunday 6 till 10pm. But if this takes off , i can quit my job, and put my all into pets. I have a large garden which is fenced off. I also have plenty of toys treats etc . I have a stair gate blocking off the kitchen, from the living room, so if needed i can separate the dogs if needed, and keep them calm.

About: I work and live at a part-time Chinese takeaway in the Kilmarnock town center. You can always come and see your pets. I am happy to hang out and record for you. I have two beloved puppies, a Border Collie and a Bichon Frise, who turned three years old this year. Currently, they are being cared for by my mom in China. I have extensive experience understanding pets’ habits, preferences, and how to engage with them. To me, pets are like family, and I ensure they are well-loved, walked on time, and cared for attentively. I truly believe that pets are both healing and adorable, and my love for them runs deep. I currently work part-time in a takeaway shop for a few hours in the evening. I have my own room and am free throughout the day, which allows me plenty of time to play with and take care of dogs. I will do my best to provide the dog with the best care possible while ensuring my employer's home remains safe and tidy. As a student, I swear on my character that I will never take advantage of anyone and will protect my employer's property and the safety of the pets. I am just a simple, dog-loving student. If needed, I can record a video each time as a record.

“I had not engaged a complete stranger to look after my animals before and did have worries about doing so but after meeting Emma my worries vanished. She looked after my 4 dogs, 14 chickens, plant pots and house. I had left loads of instructions and she followed every one to the letter. Everything was perfect when we arrived back, no issues whatsoever. The dogs were happy, the hens were happy, the house was clean, the planters were blooming and she had brushed the dogs. Emma is totally trustworthy and a lovely person to have in the house. When we go away again she will be the one we call on. Thankyou Emma.”

I have a well trained dog who loves interacting with others and he has the kindest heart towards others who can be available to go on the walks with your dogs.
