“Jade took wonderful care of Leo and Thomas while we were away. She was attentive, patient, and clearly understands cats and their personalities. We loved receiving updates and could see how relaxed and happy they were with her. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pets, but Jade made it effortless. Highly recommended.”

About: Hi, I’m Sophia, a 22-year-old student at the University of Glasgow! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always had a strong love for animals. Our family dog was a German Shepherd cross, so I’m comfortable around larger breeds as well as smaller dogs. After he passed away, my family and I began dog sitting and caring for many dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Through this, I’ve gained experience walking and caring for a wide variety of dogs, helping me understand and adapt to different temperaments and needs. I’m also a huge cat lover and really enjoy spending time with cats of all ages and temperaments. I’ve even befriended many of the neighbourhood cats near me! I am a university student about to start my final year of an integrated master’s degree. My schedule is flexible outside of lectures and study time, and I can plan my day around pet care. I am available for regular toilet breaks, walks, feeding, and attention throughout the day depending on the booking. I’ve always loved animals and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, and I follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I pay attention to their behaviour and needs, keep things clean and calm, and make sure they’re never left in unsafe situations. I’m also happy to send updates so owners know their pets are doing well.

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I am experienced with large dog breeds mostly and happy to assist with training if needed. I currently work from home full time and will be on maternity leave for 12 months from December so will have a flexible schedule to fit many needs I have a fenced garden with artificial grass, stones and paved area. I live near many nature walks and parks which are easily accessible for adventures with pups

“Kathryn did a great job looking after our cat for 6 days whilst we were away. Her communication was great, ensured that the cat had some cuddles and sent us some lovely photos that reassured us that he wasn’t missing us too much! We wouldn’t hesitate to have Kathryn come again.”

“Lisa took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. She was reliable, kind, and very attentive to my pet’s needs. I always felt reassured knowing my cat was in such good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

About: I have dog walked, dog and cat sat, and trained throughout my childhood and teenage years, and used that experience last year to work for a local company in my home town to walk and pet sit for pets of all kinds (cats, dogs of all sizes, and even birds). I am currently working from home with flexible hours, so I am able to look after your pets at anytime of the day for any length of time! Unfortunately I am unable to keep pets in my flat due to my tenancy agreement. However, for care in the pet owner’s home I offer long walks, games such as fetch, visits to the dog park, quality one on one time for senior pets and cats, feeding, training, baths, grooming, and even services such as taking out the bins and watering household plants if needed!

About: I’ve always had an affinity with animals, predominantly cats and dogs. Currently have a 3 year old patterdale terrier I’ve trained myself. She’s super sociable and great with anxious dogs. I’m currently working part time from home and have time to look after more animals. Already I am out and about often with my own pup who is quite the adventurer. Happy to spend some time looking after more pets. I will treat your pet as I would my own, they will have space if they want to chill on their own or are more than welcome to hang out together.

“Fallon has looked after my pup a few times now. Highly recommend and know she’s in really good hands. Love the updates and I know my pup loves her time with Fallon too.”

About:

About: I have experience caring for my own dog as well as looking after several cats, giving me confidence in providing loving, reliable care for different types of pets. I work full-time Monday–Friday from 8:30am–4:00pm, so I’m best suited for pets that are comfortable during working hours. I’m available for morning and evening care on weekdays, with much more flexibility on weekends for house sitting, cat care, and longer stays. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while keeping to their usual routine as much as possible. In a pet owner’s home, I follow feeding schedules carefully, keep litter trays clean, refresh water regularly, and give plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I can also ensure the safety of your home, keeping things clean and tidy and be completely respectful. I can also water plants. I’m happy to send photo updates for peace of mind and always keep the home tidy and secure.

About: With my Dad who races pigeons and an Auntie who rescues dogs and used to volunteer with The Dog's Trust, I am one of the lucky ones who has grown up around animals their entire life. We kept budgies and rabbits, a dog and a cat. I had neighbours who asked me to look after their guinea pig, and another who asked me to look after their Yorkshire Terrier, I have wide experience with different animals and on different terms, including overnight stays and daily meal time visits, or just as a companion for a few hours. My boyfriend is always catching me talking to various dogs and our cats when we are out on walks. I'm currently working from home as a freelance photographer which gives me a pretty flexible weekly routine. I live close to a number of parks for walks, but also close to public transport for home visits.I As previously mentioned, I have been entrusted with things like staying overnight to look after a friend's cats, dropping by to check in with pet wellbeing and keeping them company for a few hours and dishing up meal time. Additionally, as someone very fond of nature, dog walks are something I really miss about moving to the city from the Scottish Highlands where I grew up with said cat, dog, rabbits, budgies and pigeons.

About: What Sets Me Apart. I got my first dog at the age of 5 years old, after asking for a puppy constantly my Dad came home with a wee Whippet. Other past family dogs that i have experience of are Bedlington Terrier, Jack Russell, Chow Chow, German Shepherd, King Charles Spaniel, Shetland Sheepdog, Border Collie, Staffordshire Bull Terrier and Cane Corso. With many years of dedicated and trusted pet sitter for friends and family, I offer a level of care that goes far beyond basic dog walking. My extensive background is backed by professional certifications in pet first aid and advanced dog training. I’ve completed comprehensive course in professional dog walking. I am currently a member of the Guild of Dog Trainers entry level Companion Assistant Dog Trainer. This unique combination of hands-on experience and formal training allows me to provide a safe, structured, and nurturing environment for your beloved companion. I specialise in providing tailored care for playful puppies and mixed breed rescue dogs with behavioural issues. My true passion and expertise, however, lie in working with anxious, nervous, or fear-based reactive dogs, particularly guardian breeds. I approach every dog with a calm, caring, and nurturing demeanor, creating a sense of trust and security that allows even the most sensitive dogs to relax and thrive in my care. My commitment to transforming dogs' lives and supporting dog owners is best illustrated by a recent case study. I undertook behaviour modification program with a reactive dog who had a history of biting and was at risk of being euthanised. Through patient and skilled intervention, she has been successfully rehabilitated. While this intensive program is not a typical service, it demonstrates the depth of my dedication and my ability to handle even the most challenging situations with compassion and expertise. When you entrust your pet to my care, you can be confident they are in the hands of a true professional who is deeply committed to their well-being. My life revolves around dogs, and my own dogs are testament to that commitment. I have started working as self employed dog walker and dog trainer after years of doing it for free to help out friends and family. I am dedicated to hands-on training with my own dogs, a practice that not only sharpens my skills but also ensures I am always bringing the most current and effective techniques to the pets I care for. Saturday I have coaching walk and talk with my own dog and dog training clients. I take Sundays and Mondays to focus on admin and self care. This routine allows me to offer consistent, focused attention to your dog ensuring they receive the highest standard of care and companionship. Therefore, my availability works around about my own dogs. To ensure your pet's utmost comfort and to maintain a consistent routine, I provide all my pet care services exclusively within your own home. This approach allows your pet to remain in their familiar environment, surrounded by their own scents, toys, and comforts, which significantly reduces stress and anxiety while you are away. Currently, I am unable to host pets in my own home as I reside in a rented property where I do not have permission to board other animals. By offering to come to your home, I can give your pet my full attention in the space where they feel most secure, ensuring a seamless and positive experience for everyone.

About: I have had dogs my whole life, of several different breeds, as well as a cat since I was 9. I love all pets so much and generally find they accept me. I have learned how to take care of a puppy, kitten, and my dog once he got older and needed more care. I helped my parents with training our golden retriever puppy, and I have helped out family and neighbours with pee breaks, walks, and some overnight stays. I have university during the week days but can definitely do overnight stays if not too far away, and always can come by in evenings and on weekends. I also know incorporating pets in my life will add so much to my daily life, I’m happy to always work around my schedule. I always make sure to tick off all the things a pet will need, and check in with them (instead of just doing my own thing). I am happy to play, or to cuddle, or to not do anything if needed. I am also good to exercise the pets however much is needed

“Jokha took incredible care of our two boys. She was so kind and compassionate, and they absolutely loved seeing her each day. I would rebook Jokha in a heartbeat!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats in my neighbourhood for 5 years now. These pet owners trust me to walk, feed, bathe and play with their pets. It is important to create a safe place for animals and ensure you cater to their needs. I have always had a passion for animals and to ensure they are kept safe and to bring as much enjoyment as I can to them. I also am available on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays I am available for pet walks and multiple check ins and staying at pets house on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sundays. I am also flexible during the week depending when I need to be in the office. However, arrangements can be made when prior notice is given. I provide loving and reliable care for cats, dogs, and other small animals either in my home or in the comfort of your pet’s own home. I have hands-on experience with feeding, daily walks, playtime, cleaning, administering routines and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities and I always provide patient, attentive care and plenty of affection to help them feel happy and relaxed.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 25 years old, first cats and then dogs. I have rescued once a feral cat from the shelter and he was rehabilitated to live in the domestic environment. The cat still lives with my parents. I have experience with dogs training and looking after their safety and exercise needs. I have taken a two month dog training course with my dog at the time she was a puppy in 2021. My knowledge and experience through the years show in my confidence when looking after pets, therefore they feel safe and confident when around me. Available at week and weekends, for dog walking mainly during the week. I work part-time at home, so pet care will be done along with that. I have a female friendly dog in the house, she is very friendly and gets along with other dogs very well. I currently don't use a crate, but I can get one out if needed. My back garden is fenced and I use baby gates in 2 rooms also for safety. I also have a cat, he is 17 years old and he keeps to himself in his room when I have excited puppies around. He just wants his peace and quiet and sleeps most of the time. I am member of the PVG Scheme (police checked) and insured.
