Pet Sitting in East Dunbartonshire

“Thank you Julia for looking after Tillie so well whilst we were away. She seemed really content and I appreciated your daily updates. I would highly recommend Julia.”

“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.”

Rebecca L.

“It was my first time using Rover or this type of service, so I was a bit apprehensive. Demelza did a great job and made us comfortable leaving our babies to her care. She sent daily updates and was very good at communicating with me. I will definitely use her services again.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I lost my own dog of 12 years last April, so I know how much pets mean to people and how important it is knowing they’re in safe hands. Since meeting my partner, his dog took to me straight away and we’ve become really close — I spend most of my free time with him. I’m used to both big and small breeds, including Border Collies, Staffy/Akita mixes and Cocker Spaniels. I also help care for family members’ and neighbours’ dogs regularly, whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime or just keeping them company. Dogs usually warm to me very quickly and I genuinely just love being around them. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention, care and company they need. I’m available for walks, drop-ins and pet sitting throughout the week and weekends. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, so I’m always happy to fit my routine around their needs and keep them comfortable and settled. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first with me. I’m very attentive to routines, behaviour and making sure pets feel relaxed in their environment. I’m experienced with both large and small breeds and understand that every dog is different. Whether that’s sticking to feeding schedules, long walks, playtime or just giving them company and reassurance, I’ll care for them like they’re my own.

“Lisa was great, she cared for my cats while I was away during 3 days, I came back home and my cats were very happy and healthy. Loved the pics and vids 😻 Thanks Lisa!!”

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

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. Growing up with my dog Fudge, who lived to 17 years old, gave me valuable experience caring for senior pets and understanding their changing needs. I’m confident with feeding, walking, basic training reinforcement, routine care, and providing calm companionship. I currently have a 2.5 year old Husky named Eska, who I adopted when she was 6 months old, so I’m very familiar with the exercise, structure, patience, and mental stimulation that high-energy breeds require. I always follow owner instructions closely and treat every dog as if they were my own. I work until 5pm Monday to Thursday and am usually home by around 6pm, which allows me to provide reliable evening care, walks, feeding, and drop-in visits. I’m not available on Fridays. On Saturdays and Sundays, I’m available from afternoon through to evening, making weekend care easy to arrange. I provide calm, attentive care and always prioritise safety. I follow routines set by owners, ensure pets are secure at all times, and keep a close eye on behaviour, energy levels, and wellbeing. I have experience with both high-energy and senior pets and adapt care accordingly. I’m respectful of owners’ homes and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and settled while in my care.

“Carla was great, arranging a meeting to see how she and Rosie got on before the drop in which (as this was the first time I'd had someone in to look after my dog) helped reassure me things would be ok. During the drop in Carla gave lots of good updates and photos to let me know things were going well with my diva of a dog 🙂.”

“Isabelle helped us very last minute with our reactive dog and we couldn’t have asked for any better! She came round to meet our dog multiple times before dog sitting to ensure he was comfortable with her and then sent lots of updates when we were away. Our dog took to Isabelle very well and it was clear she had a lot of care for him. We can’t thank you enough!”

About:

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

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have experience caring for pets of all ages and sizes. I had two cats until I was 8 years old, and since then I’ve helped care for our family’s Golden Retriever, who is now 13, giving me plenty of experience with larger breeds as well as senior dog care. In 2021, we welcomed another Golden Retriever puppy into the family, and I was heavily involved in caring for and helping to train her. Although I moved away for university, I still regularly visit home and spend time caring for both dogs. Alongside this, I’ve owned four hamsters over the years, all of whom lived long, happy lives, and I’ve also looked after friends’ cats and guinea pigs. I’m a caring, dependable, and patient person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. I currently work part time from Monday to Wednesday so I have plenty of time the rest of the week to care for your furry friends. I live in a tenement flat so your pets will be safe indoors, there is a communal garden which is safely inclosed where dogs can be taken out to the toilet, I also live very near the botanic gardens and kelvingrove park so there are plenty of good walks around the area to take them on too!

“Fallon obviously has tons of vetinary experience! It was just a meet and greet but she was happy to carry out a BG and insulin injection. She also was unfazed to help in the early mornings and also with some weekend evenings and occasional house sits. My overall impression was of someone totally competent with a complete passion for animals. I am nervous leaving my cats but I would totally trust Fallon and I will definitely arrange some house sits for the future.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats all of my life. I have had a dog since I was four and now have two dogs and two cats at my parents home. I frequently look after the, and have also look after other friends/ neighbours pets. When I am working from home, I can walk dogs in the morning, at lunch and in the evening. I can also feed the, and let them out to the toilet at any time of day. When I am in the office, I can walk, feed and let dogs out to the toilet in the morning and the evening, I have a fenced garden, I can easily create dogs if preferred. I am able to come to your home to keep them company, let them out to the toilet or take them for a walk.

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.

About: I’ve had all sorts of pets growing up. Always been an animal lover. Family and friends always come to me when they need a pet sitter as I’m the most reliable and trusted. I’m currently at college Wednesday Thursday and Friday but my course ends at the end of June so after that I am free to do every and any days. I provide a safe, loving and calm environment for pets. I’m reliable, patient and always make sure pets are comfortable, well looked after and given plenty of attention and care. I will stick to any routines yous give me and won’t let you down.

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 With over 46 years of dedicated experience as a trusted pet sitter for friends and family, I offer a level of care that goes far beyond basic pet sitting. My extensive background is backed by professional certifications in pet first aid and advanced dog training, as well as comprehensive course in professional dog walking. 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. 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 is best illustrated by a recent case study. I undertook a six-month board-and-train program with a reactive dog who had a history of biting and was at risk of being euthanised. Through patient and skilled intervention, we successfully rehabilitated her, and she is now back with her loving owner, who credits our work with saving her life. 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 schedule is a testament to that commitment. As I am deeply invested in continuously advancing my skills, I am currently enrolled in a professional dog training mentorship program. This involves scheduled calls with my mentor three times a week, which makes my weekdays the primary time for providing dedicated, one-on-one care for your pet. My weekends are 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. This routine allows me to offer consistent, focused attention to your dog during the week, ensuring they receive the highest standard of care and companionship. Therefore, my availability is primarily on weekdays, and I am not available for weekend services. 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 in-home pet sitting, I can give my full attention to your pet in the space where they feel most secure, ensuring a seamless and positive experience for everyone.
