House Sitting East Lothian

“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.”

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.

“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”

“Kayla took excellent care of our pets, sending regular information and leaving the house super tidy. Our pets may be complex (Annie has diabetes and Cu is a huge guard dog). They both loved her. I would recommend Kayla - she clearly loves animals and is very conscientious.”

“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.”

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'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.

“I had a fantastic experience with our pet sitter, Sarah, who looked after our dog Bandit and cat Skip while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout, I received regular updates, which gave me real peace of mind. It was clear that both animals were well cared for and comfortable, and I came home to two very happy pets. I’d highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“Sarah was great and so accommodating when she looked after my 2 husky's Demon and Keiko and my daughters spaniel Bella in our house whilst we were on holiday for 2 weeks. My 2 have never been left and I was a bit apprehensive leaving them as they are a bit demanding but I had nothing at all to worry about, the puppies loved her and everything was great on our return. She kept in touch with us sending pics and texts on a daily basis, really put my mind at ease. Can't say enough good things about Sarah. Would definitely recommend and will be having her back very soon. Thanks Sarah for everything xx”

Wendy F.

“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!”

Isabel V.

“Another great experience with fantastic communication and loads of love and care shown to our two cats. Huge thanks to Laura, David and family once again!”

Sue M.

“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'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.

About: Hello, I'm Ewa I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by them, and in Poland I have three dogs of my own – two small and one medium-sized. Since moving to the UK, I miss them very much, so spending time with dogs here brings me real happiness. Looking after dogs has always been a natural part of my life. I've cared for my own dogs as well as dogs belonging to family and friends. I enjoy long walks, playtime and quiet moments too. Every dog is different, so I always take the time to understand their routine and make them feel safe and comfortable. I offer dog walking, home visits, daycare and care in my own home. I live in a quiet flat with access to a large shared garden. To make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, I only welcome one dog at a time (or two from the same household). I have very flexible working hours, so I can easily find time for walks with your pet. Sometimes I have to go away for a few weeks on business, but I think that everything can be arranged and adjusted. I make sure every pet is safe, comfortable and well cared for. I always follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding and walking routines. I live in a tenement with access to a large garden, where dogs can enjoy fresh air under supervision. I also provide regular walks, attention and a calm, pet-friendly environment. I treat every pet with care and make sure they feel relaxed and secure.

“Tracey was great. My first booking with Rover and Tracey was calm and professional with our two rather over excited dogs. I would definately ask Tracey to after the dogs in the future.”

Kate B.

“This was the third time Chloe has looked after my dogs and , as usual, was excellent. Both of my “girls” were delighted to see her. She coped brilliantly with a situation that no pet owner wants to go through and kept me updated all the time. Any time I go away again I will always have Chloe to look after my dog”

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.
