“Bryan was fantastic at looking after my Chocolate Labrador, Woody both for short visits and long stays. Woody has a variety of skin allergies and needs to take daily medication, which Bryan consistently gave him. I received daily updates while I was away and knew that Woody was in safe hands. Whenever Woody sees Bryan now, he is always extremely excited, so I know they both had a great time together. If you are looking for a patient, kind and conscientious dog sitter, my recommendation for Bryan could not go higher!”

You definitely can rest assure that your dog is in safe, capable hands and I wouldn’t hesitate to call her! I have booked all my boarding through Tammy and swear Buzz never wants to leave her house 😂”

He took amazing care of my dog, making sure to provide two long walks a day and feeding. It was evident that my dog was loved and cared for whilst I was away, he was happy and relaxed when I returned home. Jordan is reliable and responsible. Jordan sent me regular updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of a dog sitter or walker!”

“Anna was fantastic when looking after Apollo and Ares. She even managed to befriend Ares who is usually elusive and doesn't engage with people. Photos and videos were plentiful! We had a difficult situation with a broken lock on the second to last day, which could've happened to anyone, but Anna made sure the cats were fed through their cat flap and got in touch quickly so we could arrange a locksmith to resolve the issue. I'd happily recommend Anna to anyone needing their cats looked after!”


About: I've had dogs in my life since I was born and I am currently an experienced dog auntie to Poppy the Whippet and Dave the BostonxStaffie Cross. I have a great amount of patience and firmness when dealing with dogs that need a little bit of extra attention and training. I also live in a quiet and serene flat making it perfect for senior dogs or four-legged friends who might be a little nervous. I'm a full time researcher who works home 3 days a week. I love getting out for walks on Musselburgh race course and by the beach, perfect for a pooch! I have a quiet flat with plenty of green space near by for them to stretch their legs. There are no children or other pets in the home so your furry friend will get 100% of my attention

“Natascha has been both reliable and trustworthy when looking after and walking our labradoodle, Teddy. He absolutely loves her, I can’t quite believe it as he goes mad when she comes to walk him, I swear she’s the ‘dog whisperer’!! I highly recommend her.”

About: I have owned pets my whole life but as an adult with my own home I found my self rescuing animals in need! In fact alot of people joke I've got a mini zoo! My animals are my life. I have 3 dogs of my own (luna lab/collie 8 years old, azra lab/collie 3 years old and kali oeb 5 months old) and a very special cat with cleft palette who we saved as a baby 3 years ago. We love to walk our dogs at the local fields and grassy areas where they can run free and have fun. I can be pretty flexible during the day on weekdays as long as it doesn't clash with school pick up/drop off times (8.40/8.50am - 3.05pm) I have a fenced off large garden with 3 dogs of my own who love to run around. I also stay very local to a big enclosed field where I often taken my dogs to run around safely and freely.
