“We would give Ginevra and her partner 10 stars if we could!! Bella had such a brilliant time with them. They are so experienced and knowledgeable, and really went above and beyond to make both Bella and us feel comfortable. The girls are super friendly, and kept us updated regularly throughout Bella’s stay with some of the most adorable photos that we now have of her! Thank you so much for taking such great care of Bella, and also for all the amazing tips and advice too!”

“Siyi is fabulous. We're so glad we found her during our stay in Edinburgh! She made sure Loki was well cared for, gave him tasty treats to make his stay as enjoyable as possible, and kept us updated throughout the evening. Highly recommend!”

“We had a great experience with our dog sitter. She was welcoming, friendly, and very reliable. Communication was excellent throughout, which gave us real peace of mind. The location is convenient with easy access to the house, plenty of parking, and a park nearby for walks. Her dog, Percy, is very friendly and got along wonderfully with mine, which made the stay even better. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will definitely book again!”

“Kirsty was so accommodating and looked after my dog so well, she kept me up to date and sent me lots of photos of my dog having such a lovely time, which was so reassuring.”

“We were really nervous about leaving our two dogs with someone new as they both suffer from anxiety and they haven’t spent much time away from our family. Allison put us at ease and her communication skills were really good. She clearly has a lot of experience and understands dog behaviour well. Thank you Allison for taking good care of our girls.”

“We've had our dogs stay with Marco and Nicola twice now and they have had the best time. They get all the attention they could want and a comfy couch to snooze on. Walks, lunch, everything covered. There is a tall fence around their garden so no concerns about having them roam. Not to mention that Marco and Nicola are just lovely lovely people and big animal enthusiasts. Thank you! Definitely recommend them for your doggy care needs and will be bringing my boys back again soon :)”


“I got stuck in traffic and was going to be late for a meeting if I had travelled to Derek's place. He very kindly drove to my meeting place. Saved me the stress. Thanks Derek.”

“We had a great experience with Sean and Tess again as our dog sitters! They took fantastic care of our dog, Kyle. We are anxious owners of an anxious dog, but we got regular updates which made us feel at ease while we were away from him. Sean and Tess were super reliable and made sure Kyle was happy and well-cared-for. We would definitely ask them again to look after him in the future! Highly recommend them to anyone looking for great dog sitters! Thanks, Sean and Tess!”

“I have no hesitation in recommending Heather to look after your pet. We met her with our dog, Waffle the day before and took a walk and he was immediately at ease with her. Drop off and pick up went very smoothly and Heather sent a couple of photos during the day which is always much appreciated. She is calm and assured and patient. Many thanks Heather - we would be very happy to book again!”

About: I have had Dogs all in my life my first dog was when I was eight years old and I have loved them ever since I also look after my friends dogs neighbours dogs whether it be dog sitting dog boarding dog walking or just lots of cuddles.

About: Previous cat owner, adhoc care of friends dogs . Became proud owner of Findlay as a puppy, enjoyed many happy years long walks, swimming , lunching out with other doggie friends. Sadly l lost him this year as a result of longterm nuerological problems. So gained months nursing him whilst he was housebound. As a dog owner I have vast knowledge of local walks equally happy to go for wee danders or chill in my garden with less able dogs. Fully retired with no other pet care responsibilies, very flexible and looking forward to welcoming your dog. My dog was my daily life routine so free to support others . Secure back garden with grass and shady borders for hot days. Can take dog in my car for further afield walks if appropriate. Your dog will have full freedom of my house and garden.
About: I always had pets growing up, from hamsters, guinea pigs and rabbits, to two family dogs. Raising a family of my own now, I’d love for my children to experience a live-in dog; from cuddles to walks, poo-bags to slobber. My children are very affectionate but respectful, and would love the opportunity to learn some of the responsibilities attached to having a pet at home. We have a large garden, surrounded by large conifers, unfortunately it is not entirely fenced off and we are prone to wildlife such as foxes and hedgehogs frequenting, as well as neighbouring cats, so good recall would be required off-lead. However, we would work round this of course, and do plenty of walks also. I would intend to incorporate 3 x 30 minute walks during the day. I work within primary school hours, from home. So say, a 9am walk to/from school, and a 3pm walk for pick up, along side a lunch time or evening walk. Being at home all day, your pet would never be alone. They would have plenty of opportunities for cuddles, and then play when the kids come home. We can tailor the care of your pet to your individual needs. Some of our intended care plans have been described above, but happy to discuss in more detail on contact.
“Katie was great with Hamish and he really settled in so quickly and was well loved and looked after. She sent me some lovely pics during the day and he looked content and happy which put my mind at ease. I’ll definitely be booking with Katie again and would highly recommend. :)”

“Caity was very friendly. Our dog took to her immediately. We felt confident leaving him with her. Communication was great whilst our dog was with her with great photos. We could tell from these photos how settled he was. We would definitely recommend Caity and will definitely use her again.”

“Margot had a fabulous day with Thalia - came home tired, relaxed and happy. Thalia was easy to deal with, really friendly and stepped in last minute to help us out of a pickle. Thanks Thalia!”

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.
