House Sitting East Lothian

“Melanie and her partner Damien were outstanding from start to finish. Lovely people and very knowledgeable Our Bonnie is a reactive border collie and can be quite hard work but Damien made us feel extremely comfortable to leave her in his hands. 10/10”

“Lea-Anne looked after our mini pin Otis for a weekend. She turned up in good time and sent messages and photos to keep us informed while we were away. Otis seemed very well looked after and we would not hesitate to ask Lea-Anne to look after him again.”

“Katie was a fantastic find! Located only a couple of miles from where we staying in Port Seton, she was able to come to our holiday cottage very shortly after we left to go up to Edinburgh Fringe and look after our little cockapoo Joey. She was brilliant in responding really quickly to my initial request and being extremely flexible about times (pretty late after the Tattoo!) and giving Joey plenty of walks, attention and hugs 🤗 She also kept us updated with photos throughout the day & evening showing Joey on his walks. She was also very easy going about last minute changes we made on the second day which was greatly appreciated! I can recommend Katie wholeheartedly- a real gem of a find 🥰We wish her lots of success being a pet sitter- she’s a natural!”

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.

“We were very impressed when Eilish looked after our dog Daisy. Excellent communicator and we received many lovely updates. Would not hestitate to recommend Eilish to other dog owners!!”

About: Hi, I am 25 years old and I am looking for some job opportunities. 
I have recently moved to Edinburgh from London. I have had cats my whole life and recently I have moved into a home with 2 dogs! I love spending time with animals and I am very focused on schedules. Give me a schedule and I will follow it! I care for cats, dogs and rabbits. 
I am looking to mostly do overnight stays as I know that is much easier on animals and honestly much easier on me. So if you're away for a couple of days or a couple of weeks you don't have to worry about your pets. 
I currently can't have any pets in my house as I am living with 2 dogs... 
I have taken care of friends and family pets several times. My friend has a sausage dog which I routinely go and walk as well as feed and put to bed. My cousin has a beagle who is quite scared of everything, with him we take very short walks and make sure to take it slow. 
Usually if it is an overnight stay I will stay the whole day with the dogs and walk them at least 3 times. I will feed depending on the dogs needs and following instructions. 
I am very flexible with any timings you might need as I am now looking for a full time job( I used to be a brewer so ...)
Before I stay with your loved ones I would love to meet you in person and talk about responsibilities and expectations. 
Let me know if you need me! Im currently freelancing as I have just moved to Edinburgh! I’m happy to stay with your pets overnight. I’m experienced with dogs and cats or both! Give me a text and we can get you booked. I will always follow all instructions and advice given regarding your pet, you know them better than I do. I am very good with animals and understand individual needs.

“Naomi looked after our dogs and house so well. She came before the sit to do a meet and greet, and the dogs were very comfortable around her. Naomi followed their routine and provided enrichment for them, she sent daily updates and photos. The dogs were calm and relaxed when we arrived home, always a good sign! And the house was spotless - we can highly recommend Naomi and will be booking her again before long!”

“Harriet has been super with Tiger and she has done dog walking, day care and a 2 night dog and house sit. Tiger has a NBF in Harriet’s dog, Rufus, and she (yup Tiger’s a female!) can’t wait for me to go away again.”

“It was an absolute joy to have Sarah looking after our border collie Isla. She helped us out super last minute with house / dog sitting, moving in for 1 week and looking after our home and Isla beautifully! We had daily pupdates with plenty of photos, which gave us great peace of mind on holiday as we could see what a great time Isla was having with her. Isla is 15 and is on medication and a renal diet, but this didn’t faze Sarah at all. She cared for Isla incredibly well and when we returned, Isla was trying to leave the house with Sarah! Clearly not wanting to part with her. Sarah has a calm and capable energy which gives pet owners a great amount of confidence. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sarah and will definitely be booking her again ❤️ thank you Sarah! xx”

“Tracey is a great pet sitter. She makes sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and plenty of cuddles and if staying in your home will leave it very clean and tidy. We definitely recommend Tracey!”

“Fiona was great! She was quick to get back to us when we were hoping to book. She came round for a cup of tea so she could meet the wee pooch and us. This was ideal as it allowed us a chance to get to know Fiona and exchange info about the dog/house. Whilst we were away, she kept in touch to let us know how everything was going. She very kindly bought cheese slices to disguise our dogs daily medication which we had completely forgotten to sort out or explain! In the photos Tilly looked to be having a lovey time cosied up when home with Fiona and she looked delighted when out adventuring on different walks. The house was in perfect condition when we got home- Fiona even stripped the bed! I would definitely recommend her; reliable, great with communication whilst keeping our pooch happy and healthy.”

“Sarah was so lovely, brandy had the best time with her and we were given updates and photos of how she was. Would happily have her back again! 🥰”

“Elmira helped us out at the last minute and looked after our cats and dogs for 24 hours. Despite not having much experience of large breed dogs, she did very well and asked questions openly when unsure. Everyone happy upon return. Would recommend!”

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.

“Laura and Dave were absolutely fantastic. Great communication, friendly and Loki seemed very happy with them. We will definitely use them again.”

“Carey was early, immediately got on well with the dogs, stayed a bit late to help us out when traffic was bad and kept in touch with updates through her petsitting”

About: I have grown up with dogs from birth ranging from Jack Russell and German shepherds to rottweilers and now I have a french bulldog. I have 20 years of experience, including medical treatment etc. Looking to make my evening and weekend walks more entertaining by walking a friendly canine at the same time. Often take walks in big parks, on the pentlands or at the beach and also have an SUV to accommodate any breed. I work hybrid and mainly from home so have loads of availability especially evenings and weekends. Love the fresh air and taking a walk. Have no issues with horrid weather either as somebody whom has worked outside often. We have no fence in the garden so therefore have more walks with our dog. Playtime is always available. Can bath if needed and make whatever food required.

About: I've been around animals all my life including 2 dogs and their long list of K9 friends! I also had a tortoise 🐢 who in the end needed additional care in the form or tube feeding. I can manage walks with dogs up to XL size and any additional needs I am capable of managing. I work sociable hours as a chef in a nursery so my working hours are totally consistent and for local client I can easily manage midday walks or letting your pet out. In the morning say around 0730 your pet will go out for a walk and bathroom run about. In the evenings say around say 1730 your pet will go out again for an evening run about before dinner at 1800. Any pets requested a supper or late evening meal will get them at their routine time. I have been in positions of trust in every job I've ever had. Being a key holder, supervisor and role model to a large team. I have developed a quiet and calm maturity that makes me a fantastic person to rely on and out your precious put into the care of.

“Kayla took great care of Korey. We had to travel because a relative is very ill, but we were very worried about our boy because we lost our other dog just a couple of weeks before traveling. But Kayla was very understanding of our concerns, kept us very well updated and took great care of both our dog and the house.”

“Megan has been a huge help for us when we needed a last minute dog sitter for a weekend. She kept us updated on how our dogs were doing, took them for walks, and left the house tidy. It was lovely to meet her at the meet and greet and introduce her to the dogs and we will 100% use her again.”
