About: I'm Jess, and dogs are my absolute world. I've always had dogs in my life. As well as agility training, I'm also an experienced obedience handler, skills trainer and Pets as Therapy handler. I am an all-weather dog walker, offering tailored walks to suit your dogs needs. Whether it's a short round-the-block followed by fun and games at home, or a longer run to burn off some excess energy, there really is no walk too big or small. Experienced and confident with reactive dogs, sensitive dogs, high-energy dogs, and everything in between, I pride myself on my ability to understand dog behaviour. I will let your dog get to know me at their own pace, and only ever use positive, motivating, reward-based training. I cannot wait to meet you and your four-legged pals As a teacher my availability is pretty much matched to school term dates, with evenings, weekends and school holidays being the best times for me to visit, walk and look after your dogs. I'm delighted to be able to accommodate dog boarding and house-sitting so that you can provide your dogs with the bespoke care they need while you are away. For those that come to me I offer a lovely house with a secure garden, and a real home-from-home experience. Equally happy coming to you, I am a clean, tidy, quiet and respectful guest.

About: I have experience working in rescue kennels, doggy daycare, and a boarding kennel, as well as volunteering at a dog-training class. I am confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I take a calm, supportive approach to any behavioural needs. My priority is to ensure each dog in my care is safe, well-supported, and engaged in positive, enjoyable activities I currently work at a rescue kennel just now and I’m off 3 days week so it’s my life to fit in pet care around the clock I’ll keep your dog entertained safely with fun enrichment’s help train recall if not already know in your house I’m also getting my dog first aid

“Thanks so much for taking care of the cats so well!”

About: I have volunteered in three dog shelters over the years and walked a lot of difficult dogs living in the neighbourhood or sometimes helped out with work colleagues taking in their animals while they are away on holidays. I work from home most of the time and currently between jobs and have allowance for all sorts of short term assignments. I currently have a cat I look after and can have dogs staying over at my place if they are unconcerned with a cat being present. I grew up with all sorts of animals small and large and can deal with even difficult animals having spent a lifetime watching their body language and finding a healthy way to communicate to make them feel happy.

About: I have always been a huge animal lover and I adore looking after furry friends. I live in a house just outside of Edinburgh that has a large back garden that is perfect to run and play in. I also work from home so I will always be around to look after your pet and keep them company. I have had experience looking after different types of dogs which range in sizes and activity level. This includes a borador and ex-racing greyhound. I also have experience looking after cats for my extended family and have a huge soft spot for them. I am happy to look after your pet at my home or your own house, whatever works best. I can follow any routine you may have with your pet and accommodate any special needs they may require. I am also very happy to send regular updates with what they have been up to and include photos to lessen any worry you may have. I currently work from home so will always be available to look after, keep company and play with your pet. I am also able to go on longer adventures on Friday, Saturday and Sundays as I do not work on these days. I typically take dogs for a minimum of 3 walks a day (however I will be happy to adjust this either way to suit your pet). I will stick to your pets usual routine to help them feel as comfortable and normal as possible while their favorite human(s) are away.

About: Hi, I’m Cloe! I’ve been caring for dogs and other animals since I was young, and it's something I’ve always been passionate about. I currently have two dogs of my own, Nylah and Honey. Nylah is reactive, which has given me valuable experience and understanding of different dog behaviours, especially when it comes to dogs with unique needs or behavioural challenges. This hands-on experience means I’m confident in caring for pets with a range of temperaments, and I always take a calm, patient, and personalized approach to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also regularly look after a family member’s cat, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. Whether your pet needs a little extra attention or just a cozy, fun visit while you're away, I’m here to provide loving, reliable care. I am available on any day of the week and weekends. I’m also open to overnight stays with advance notice and can often accommodate last-minute bookings when my schedule allows. I’ll do my best to work around your needs and provide reliable, loving care. Any questions just ask! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I always take the time to understand each animal’s individual needs and personality, ensuring a calm and secure environment where they can feel at ease. Whether it's managing leash reactivity, administering medication, or simply providing a quiet space to relax.I also keep pet parents updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind while you're away.

“Fantastic service from Katherine, both cats were very well looked after and very happy.!! Photos sent from each visit which was lovely to see. Cannot fault anything about the care they received and I highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a sitter. I will definitely book again next time we go away. Lovely woman and very caring.”

About: Our names are Tess and Sean and we are lifelong dog-lovers, having grown up and cared for family dogs. We don't currently have a dog but take every opportunity to spend time with family and friends' dogs. We work from home throughout the week and have flexible working schedules. We would love a four-legged friend for walks, house sitting and drop ins. Your dog will have a safe and loving care within your home or on a walk. We know the Edinburgh area inside and out and would be happy to talk with you about your dog care needs.

About: I work in a doggy day care part time. With my flexible work schedule I am able to help out with my friends and family’s pets. I have had dogs all through out my life, also many other pets. My pet care would fit in with my work I currently work part time, so have extra time to look after pets. I also have my two own dogs so for walking I am out a lot also. I am a home owner, with a full fenced private garden. For walking I have harness straps for dogs traveling in the car, but I also live close to farm land and country parks.

About: I have 2 cats who are both 12 years old now, I have taken care of them since they were kittens. I also have a 1 year old pomsky called Hamish. These family members have changed my life. I have always grown up with cats and dogs in my life. I am currently a care assistant at Leuchie house, I am looking for a complete career change and would love to further my dream of caring for animals. Unfortunately I do not wish to care for them in my own home. Although my garden is secure with a fence and gates. I have a big enough garden to run around safely.

About: My name is Bethan and I grew up with my beautiful black Labrador Cally, who was such an important part of our family! I miss her more than anything, but I am lucky that I often get to look after my sister and my sister in laws dogs, and so have plenty experience living with and being responsible for pups. I am very attentive and always have your dogs best interest at heart. I am a very responsible person and take extra care to ensure your dog is always happy and relaxed, whether we are on a nice big walk, or having some chill and quiet time, I always make sure your dog is loved and looked after. I am happy to dog walk and dog sit, please just get in touch! I’m very flexible with my working hours and happy to work around your schedule. :) I’m currently teaching part time so have plenty time to walk/look after your pup! My schedule is perfect for dog walking, and for dog sitting throughout the day. I live in Edgehead and can easily get to Pathhead and other near by villages. I know lots of fantastic and safe walks which are perfect for dog walking! I would be more than happy to do over night stays in your home! Unfortunately I am unable to have a dog over night at my house, but during the day I am available to give your dog my full attention!

About: Helped take care of my pets (a Dalmatian and Weimaraner) from the age of 10. Walker for neighbours over the years before moving to Edinburgh. Currently working part-time jobs - so flexible with timings to give more time for walks and play dates with all of the local Edinburgh pups. have experience with all kinds of dogs - so no pup is too small or too big for me to handle! Also send pup-dates so you know how your little friend is doing during our play dates.

“Once again Sarah blew us away. She is reliable, so good with animals and even went above and beyond staying late cause our cat fell asleep on her. We couldn’t recommend her services enough!”

About: For the past few years, i have been one of the main caretakers for an elderly reactive dog and the main trainer for the pups. I also have recently received a certificate in Animal Care, which includes in-depth lessons on first aid I'm currently working the odd shift at my local college, but I am free any day with enough notice to take on any animal sitting duties. I will ask for a preferred schedule for your furry friend and stick to it with military precision. I am also a huge fan of taking photos to send/show your animals' enjoyment

About: I grew up loving dogs from a very young age, often volunteering to walk my neighbours dogs whenever I could. Since then I have pointed my career in the direction where I can offer services to other people’s pets as I understand trusting a stranger with your baby’s can be extremely difficult. I work in a vet practice and am currently studying an advanced certification in canine behaviour. I’m up to date with first aid for pets and confident when dealing with emergencies. I can provide FaceTime calls, regular updates and photos of your pets! I have four very amazing dogs myself which I trained. Arlo is a Dutch herder and full of beans, at four years old I have to make sure he is kept active! He loves swimming on the weekends, climbing up some Munros and annoying his older brother Delta! Delta is a German shepherd and has a heart of gold. His favourite thing to do in the whole world is swim in the sea and loves to go camping! He has a rather unusual obsession with rocks which started when he was a puppy.. but he continues to make myself and everyone else laugh as he will do anything to try and bring one home. I have another Dutch shepherd Moose who would literally hang the moon and stars out himself if it meant seeing other people happy, this boy just radiates happiness! And Toula who is my newest addition, she is a Belgian malinois and has to be the most affectionate dog I have ever came across in my life, she’d love to travel anywhere she could on my shoulders… if it was possible! I absolutely adore animals and I’ll always find myself around them more than people. I currently work full time in a vet practice but I am available on the weekends or after working hours. I often take the dogs to the beach, lochs, new field or to climb a Munro on the weekends. I would be able to offer more availability if given enough notice as I can take time off work, I’m also available to attend before or after working hours! I understand leaving your pets with someone you don’t know can be very unsettling, I can provide valid references, FaceTime calls, pupdates and photos of your pets on a regular basis. i also understand owners may not want their dog to be given treats, walked for too long or taught different habits so I am always more than happy to do as the owner requests with full trust and confidence that I can give your animals the best care/adventures as possible.
