House Sitting in East Lothian

About: Having grown up in the Shropshire countryside, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes - from chihuahuas to German shepherds! I also raised my own cocker spaniel from puppy into her senior years. I’m active and up for taking dogs for as long a walk as they need, willing to play and keep their minds engaged, but also happy to sit and give them the cuddles and company they need. I work flexible hours from home, so I can work around your pet’s needs and keep them company. I can get up as early and stay up as late as needed. Your pet and home safety comes first - I’m responsible and careful with closing/locking doors, keeping the dog either on the lead or writhing recall distance (depending on your dog!) and keeping them out of situations that make them feel uncomfortable. I have also cared for dogs with dietary restrictions so I’m happy to help in those areas too!

“Tracey did a great job of looking after my English Setter. She responded quickly to all my messages and kept me updated during her stay. I will look forward to booking her again. Thanks so much Tracey.”

About: I’ve taken care of friends and families dogs and cats and absolutely love it and the stress reliever knowing that their furry babies are well cared for! I work full time 9-4 with a flexible scheduled and work from home days! Happy to work around and help mornings, evenings and weekends also! I don’t have any pets of my own but I’d be open to having your pets in my home but be aware that I live in a flat so no access to private garden unfortunately.

About: Hi! My name is Ainhoa, I am a responsible, caring, and patient . I’ve had five dogs and two cats, so I truly understand how much love and care our friends need. I absolutely love spending time with animals, playing with them, and making sure they feel happy and safe. I work on healthcare and I have a very flexible schedule , which allows me to adapt to your needs and be available for walks, playtime, or companionship for your furry friends. If I take care of your pet, whether at my home or yours, my main goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I know how important routine is for pets, so I always follow their usual schedule to keep things as familiar as possible (meal times, walk times, how they like to play…)

“Can’t recommend Sarah enough! She was fab with arranging walks to help get Jasper used to her before coming to sit for him in October. Jasper had the best time and was well looked after 🥰 Sarah was great about being in touch and sending updates while we were away so we knew how Jasper was doing each day. have already discussed rebooking for when we are away next year 🐶”

About: I've had my own dog since I was 13, whom I have had most of the responsibility for. He is a small westie, so I'm used to feisty dogs. I have had a lot of experience walking the dog's of my family members, including a springer spaniel with an unlimited supply of energy. Therefore, I am more than happy to take your dog's on long hikes to tire them out. I am currently studying part-time on a flexible schedule, so I can easily make visits during the week to keep your dog company or to get them out for walks. I ask for as much information as possible about your pet's habits, possible safety concerns, how they interact with other dogs, and any other hazards I should be aware of - whether that be in your home or on walks. I will make sure your dog gets the exercise they need, but also the mental stimulation needed to keep their brain active.

About: I have a pet cat of my own named Loki he is 6 year old tabby cat looked after since he was 4 weeks old, I help out my aunt and cousin with their dogs Rufus and Murphy and my aunr looks after a diluted Calico cat I work Monday to Friday but always happy for a weekend walk with the dogs or after work although not scheduled for those times I can do them In my own home the cat smudge is 19 so elderly I have given her ways to climb up without hurting her back end, I let her ride on my back when she wishes and make sure she is fed plenty with 2-3 packets of meat and a bowl of biscuits a day

“Ciara was so amazing with Bryce. She sent tons of updates and he seemed so happy and relaxed when we got home. Have already booked her again and would 100% recommend to anyone!”

About: I’ve had the pleasure of caring for various dogs over the years, including one special family member's pup whom I helped raise from a young age. Over the course of a year, I played an active role in their training, working on recall, heeling, and basic commands. I’m comfortable with pets of all types and sizes, offering not just care but positive, supportive interaction to help your pet feel safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away. I currently work 4 days a week, 2 from home and 2 in the office, usually Tuesday and Wednesday in office but this can be flexible. Working from home can be done anywhere that has WiFi, so I would be comfortable and able to look after your pet during the day whilst also working from your home on my laptop. I can take up to an hour of a lunch break, plenty of time to go for a walk, and can also be flexible with hours in the day. When I care for a pet, whether in my home or yours, I make sure to create a comfortable and safe environment for them. I follow their usual routine, ensuring they get the right food, exercise, and attention they need. I’m flexible, adjusting to their needs, whether it’s providing a calm space for shy pets or playtime for more energetic ones. I also make sure to stick to any specific instructions you’ve given me, so they feel right at home, even when you’re away.

“Angel was so patient and calm with our reactive dog. Absolutely fantastic, she made us feel so at ease with leaving our babies for the first time. 100% will be using her again.”

About: I have grown up with rescue dogs my whole life so am used to taking my time and getting to know them (Greyhound, Dalmatian and lurcher). I have also taken care of dogs of every kind throughout my life helping my family and friends. They would stay over so I would walk and feed them. I am a recent psychology graduate and I am originally from Aberdeen. I’m currently doing a masters in Speech and Language Therapy at QMU and living on campus. I am currently a Masters student so will depend on my class schedule and deadlines. I am more for ad -hoc care. I will try update my calendar every 2 weeks I would stick to whatever rules you give me to keep your dog healthy, safe and happy. I would build a relationship with your dog as you can see from my reviews I go above and beyond for clients dogs.

“Rachel was amazing with Wallace! We got plenty of pictures and the communication was spot on. She has great knowledge of Whippets as a breed which put our mind at rest. Would definitely recommend!”

“Ethan looked after our Golden Retriever and cat at our home. So pleased to have found Ethan. He is not phased by big (hairy) dogs and clearly has an affinity for animals. Even the hard to please cat loved him. Will definitely use again. Thanks Ethan”

“Anna was an excellent sitter for our Labrador puppy Daisy. Daisy was very well looked after and we got great updates throughout the day. Would highly recommend Anna to others!”

“Tessa and Sean stayed at our house for 8 days to look after our nervous rescue dog. They were fantastic in giving him the reassurance that he needed and allowed him to build in confidence whilst in their company. Communication was great with lots of photos and they left the house spotless when we returned. We can’t recommend them highly enough and would definitely book them again in the future.”

About: I have cared for a friends two dogs overnight, and for a few days via this app, I have also cared for dogs while providing childcare. I have been lucky enough to have two family dogs so far in my life. I work full time as a support worker but finish everyday at 4 leaving evenings free. I would love to spend time with some lovely doggies and it's a bonus to earn some income to support myself. I can't keep dogs overnight in my home; however, I do have a car to take pets for long walks further out in the countryside and look after them in the daytime on weekends.

About: Hi! My name is Murron, and I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals. I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs- border collies will always have a special place in my heart! I currently work at a boarding and daycare kennel, where I care for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments every day. Whether it’s feeding, walking, grooming, or just giving them the love they deserve, animals are a huge part of my life. I also work part-time for the Scottish SPCA, working with animals that have had difficult upbringings. I’ve been a trusted pet sitter for friends and family for years, looking after everything from energetic puppies to senior cats who need a little extra care. I'm confident handling pets with different needs and behaviours, and I always treat every furry friend as if they were my own. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, walk, or overnight stay, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Let me know how I can help — I look forward to meeting you and your pets! My current routine is working part time to full time but with a pretty flexible schedule and the timings of my jobs means I’m always free in the evenings! Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a pet owner's home, I always aim to create a safe, calm, and loving environment that suits each animal’s unique needs and routine. My experience working in kennels and with the Scottish SPCA means I’m confident handling pets with a wide range of temperaments, ages, and care requirements. In a pet owner's home, I make sure to stick closely to the routine their pet is used to—mealtimes, walk schedules, playtime, and any special care instructions. I respect the space, keep things clean and secure, and send regular updates so you know your pet is in good hands. My top priorities are safety, consistency, and making sure every pet feels at ease and cared for like one of my own.

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.
