Dog Walking East Lothian

“Throughly recommend Allie. She arranged to meet us both the day before to get to know Molly and find out from me more about her likes and what to be aware of. She kept in contact with us, which enabled us to really enjoy our day knowing Molly was well cared for. Thank you Allie. We will be back next year to see the golf again.”

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’ve been mama to our sausage dog Hamish for seven years. He’s battled IVDD so I’m experienced in caring for IVDD survivors and understand the challenges small dogs face. I’ll give your small dog the care and attention it needs and will care for it as if it’s my own. Contact me for weekend availability as required. I might be able to accommodate some weekend stays / visits. I’m currently freelance and work from home. I set my own hours and totally flexible so I can look after up to two small dogs in my house giving them ample play time and pee breaks as needed. I live near fields and cute walking paths meaning your dog can enjoy all the smells of nature! For cats I can drop into your home for cuddles, comfort and chunkies. I have a secure garden for toilet breaks and plenty blankets and beds for naps. I have ramps up to the sofa and a no stair policy to protect delicate small dog backs - my dog is an IVDD survivor so safety in the home is really important to me.

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’ve been brought up around animals my whole life, my family have always had dogs and I currently have a whipper and a husky of my own Take the dog out a walk daily, flexible with times due to working at night. Got a little girl that is obsessed with dogs aswell I have a back garden with 6ft fence all the way around my dogs are both friendly and get on with other animals, have also been neutered

About: As a part-time dog walker with a love for all animals, I ultimately aim to spend as much of my time as possible caring for them. I have a lifetime of experience caring for both cats and dogs, which has provided me with a strong foundation in understanding the needs of different pets. With my own 3-year-old dog Milo, and 5 month puppy Maple, I’m skilled in managing the daily care routines of dogs of varying ages! Further, I now have experience in managing a multi-dog household, caring for dogs of different ages and managing both their expectations for a happy outcome. Pet care in my daily routine involves balancing my dog's needs. This includes exercise, feeding, training, and providing companionship, all while ensuring both pets feel secure, loved, and well-cared for. Ultimately, I stick to the dogs routine. It is so important that animals in my care receive the same level of attentiveness as they would their own owner. This involves feeding routine, walking, toilet breaks and play time.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who has grown up with dogs and cared for a variety of breeds throughout my life. While I don’t have professional dog sitting experience, I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs as part of my family. I live with my husband, two children and our friendly family dog, who are all great with other dogs. Your dog will be welcomed into a loving home environment where they’ll receive lots of attention, affection, exercise, and playtime. We have a good sized, fully enclosed garden where dogs can safely explore and play throughout the day, as well as access to regular walks and plenty of opportunities for enrichment. I understand how important it is to know your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for, and I will treat your pet as if they were one of my own. As I work in education, I am primarily available for dog boarding and daycare during school holidays. During these periods, I am at home throughout the day, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, exercise and care for your dog. I have a good-sized, fully enclosed and secure garden where dogs can safely play, explore and enjoy time outdoors throughout the day. I share my home with a friendly, neutered Labrador cross German Wirehaired Pointer who is well socialised with other dogs. She is calm, respectful and understands when another dog would prefer their own space. I also have two dog-savvy children, aged 10 and 14, who have grown up around dogs and understand the importance of treating them gently and respectfully. I appreciate that every dog is different and will work to maintain their usual routine as much as possible. If your dog is crate trained or uses a crate for rest, sleep or downtime, I am happy to accommodate this. I will provide a safe, loving family environment where your dog will receive plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment and care while you’re away.

About: I've had dogs all my life and currently have two friendly small recue dogs who get along well with other dogs. I'm a huge animal lover and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets, making sure they're happy, comfortable and well cared for. I love being outdoors and going for long walks, so your dog can look forward to plenty of exercise, attention and enjoyable adventures. Having recently moved to Edinburgh and taken a break from teaching, I have lots of time and flexibility to dedicate to caring for your pets throughout the day. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members, and I will care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, loved and happy while you are away. I will send plenty of updates too. I'm an early riser so befornmy morning coffee I will take the dogs out for a 45 minute walk. When we come back we have a cuddle on the sofa while I have my morning coffee. I will be home with them most of the day and if I am going anywhere my partner works from home so she will be home with them instead. I will take them out again between 3-5 for a longer walk between 1 - 2 hours long depending on what dogs I have an whether they prefer longer or shorter walks. I have a fully fenced garden and two friendly dogs. One can be initially grumpy but he's 9 now so soon gets over it. I will love your pet as if they were my own and they will soon become part of the family.

“Nat was absolutely great with my dogs. They loved her as soon as they met her and were very happy out for a walk with her. I would happily have Nat walk my dogs again and would recommend her to others!”

About: I absolutely love dogs. I have had them since I was young. I've always looked after them when my parents were away or at work. I've also looked after friends pets when they were away which involved walking and feeding them. I have had quite large breeds of dogs and also looked after smaller breeds so I can look after any size. I am at university at the moment so it will have to fit around my timetable. I am happy to do anytime in between those times. You can message me with any queries and I will see if I can move my schedule around. I can spend alot of the day with the dog at the owners home and take them out for walks and feed them. I have a young dog so I am good with all ages. I can also do overnight stays.

“I cannot recommend Jassy highly enough! She is an absolute gem. My pup adores her and gets so excited every time she arrives. She’s incredibly caring and attentive, always ensuring my dog is safe, happy, and well-exercised.”

About: 1hr Lunchtime walks (Tuesday, Thursday, Fridays) Musselburgh, Joppa, portobello, Craigmillar, craigtinny, newcraighall, Duddingston etc. 2.5 hour group walk Mondays: Roslin/Loanhead/Bonnyrigg/Rosewell/oxgangs/ mortonhall/ morningside/ Fairmilehead Solo walk & Train in all above areas and central Edinburgh and Leith About me: I’m an accredited dog trainer with my business Bonnie Animal Training which has been running since summer 2025. Previously, I was a senior trainer/coach with the Dogs Trust running training classes with Dog School for 4 years. Prior to my work with dogs, I was a Zookeeper for 12 years. My passion has always been in animal welfare and behaviour. Ethics and welfare are my highest priority for animals in my care. I am committed to using safe and comfortable equipment, building a bond with your dog, and having a positive relationship. I have a deep understanding of dog body language. I know what issues to look out for during socialising together and or with other dogs on our walks. I also ensure dogs have breed fulfilment and mental stimulation as well as exercise. My walks will have a maximum of 4 dogs. (One of which will always be mine) The dogs travel in my car, either on the back seats with seatbelts or in the boot separated by safe secure dividers. They won’t have to travel in a van with lots of other noisy dogs. I do some training on the walks such as focus, calmness, lead walking skills, recall, polite greetings, emotional regulation. Providing the dogs a sniffy walk so they use their brains and energy wisely I am fully insured through my business. I am registered as a dog walker with Edinburgh council Undergoing dog First Aid training. I look forward to hearing from you! I have lots of lunchtime slots for dogs whose owners are working in the day. They can join for 1 hour, or double up for a longer walk As an accredited positive reinforcement trainer, I will always treat your dog with respect and gentleness. Dogs do not need a firm hand, nor is being a pack leader up to date theory. Dogs deserve understanding and effective science backed training techniques, no matter the size or breed. I will always ensure their equipment is safe and checked before a walk. Trackers are very welcome!

“Rhona is attentive and really goes above and beyond with my dog Rolo, he goes on lovely adventures which I get plenty of updates for too! Xx”

“Bo seems to really love her walks with Lisa. Lisa's communication is great, and it's a big relief for us to find an additional care option for days when we can't be at home with Bo!”

About: Hi, I’m Diana! I’m 28 years old, from Toronto, Canada and have been living in Edinburgh for 3 years now. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes. Growing up, I had a beautiful Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever named Murphy, followed by a Springer Spaniel and Jack Russell Terrier named Buttons and TinTin :) Now living in Leith, I am just a short walk to the Links park and have an enclosed private garden — perfect for doggy walks and playing outside! I’d love to look after your dog for daycare and/or overnight/extended stays. I work from home full-time Monday to Friday giving me the flexibility to pop out for long walks, pee breaks, and outdoor playtime any time of day. I have a fully fenced private garden that dogs can have access to all day while I’m home. I live in a townhouse with 3 floors where dogs have space to roam.

“Emma was so friendly and lovely to speak with. She gave updates and photos from the walk and it looked like our dog had a great time! We can’t wait to work with Emma again!”
