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 in looking after dogs and cats for my friends and neighbours for consecutive days whilst they are away, as well as looking after my family's pets. I am all about love and attention making sure the furry friends are having fun, comfortable and have all their needs fulfilled. I am currently looking for employment and have lots of spare time to care for your furry friend. I am available to house sit if you are planning on being away or just to come round during the day. Whatever your needs I am sure to be able to satisfy them. I will care for your pet just as you would care for them. I will be available to contact at all times and will make sure to send you many pictures to update you on your fur baby throughout the day! I have been trusted by neighbours to house sit for them to look after their pets when they are away and always make sure that their pet has everything they need and follow their normal daily routines.

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.

“Hannah has been amazing with my 2 cats. I was sent pictures and updates every day. Came home to a spotless house clean trays, clean mats/food & cat bowls etc. Also 2 happy cats when I walked through the door. Definitely recommend Hannah and I will be using Hannah again. Thank you!”

“Lily was great as always with my cats! Never had any issues, so I didn’t have to worry about them as I knew they were in great hands!😃Highly recommend Lily as a great cat sitter!”

Sarah H.

“Julie is amazing, and clearly very experienced with cats. My cat Loki can be quite shy, but he felt right at home with Julie. She spent quality time with him, which is what he craves most when we’re away, and sent loads of updates. From the videos, it was very clear how much Loki enjoyed her company.”

“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!”

Jade H.

“Kayla did a great job looking after Midnight! We received regular updates and photos/videos, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. Midnight seemed very relaxed and well-cared for when we returned. We’ll definitely be booking Kayla again!”

“Naomi did drop in visit to our dog, Reilly. Everything went well. Naomi communicated well and Reilly was happy with the visit. We will be contacting her again in the future.”

“Tess looked after Freddie on two of my office days this week and was fantastic. Communication was excellent, she was always on time, and I received lovely photo updates throughout. Freddie clearly had a great time! I’d happily recommend Tess to friends and would absolutely rely on her again whenever Freddie needs care 😊”

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 animals 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 ever, 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 have experience working with more “challenging” dogs that tend to have different behavioural preferences, I’ve worked closely with the training and assessment of police dogs and hope to set up my own behaviour/training business by the end of the year. Please do not hesitate to get in touch ❤️ 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.

About: I’ve had a cat for a year and taken care of two dogs and 3 cats belonging to my friends over the past several years. Although I have not experienced being around different races, I am open to get to know them. I’m available all the week, but on Tuesdays and Fridays unavailable from 7am-4pm. If we schedule early I will be definitely available for the time and never change schedules. I have a car to drive and I would be happy to take care of your cat/dog at your place. I can travel further if needed as well as long as I can boil some water for a coffee :)

“Sarah was absolutely phenomenal! We booked her to take care of our cat while we were getting married and she put all of our worries at ease so we knew our boy was in excellent hands. I would definitely recommend booking Sarah to any and all!’”
