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 has looked after our boys in our house twice. She is reliable, communicative and the dogs love her. We have a 3 year old labrador and 1 year old setter, who can both be rambunctious but this is no sweat for Lea-Anne who can confidently handle them and even walk them together.”

“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!”

“Eilis is such a lovely person who really takes the time to understand your dog and their routine, it was clear from their first meeting that Obi adores her! We had peace of mind while leaving Obi for the first time with lots of lovely pupdates and came home to a very contented dog. We've already rebooked with Eilis and would not hesitate to use her services again.”

“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.”

“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: I am the proud owner of a reactive and energetic husky who is lots of fun and a big softy at heart. Koda is not friendly with other dogs so I have to keep him on a lead and use various distraction techniques. I love when I get the opportunity to meet other dogs and spend time with them. I’ve also been brought up with cats my whole life. Neighbours and friends rely on me to care for and feed their beloved pets. I work shifts as a nurse 3/4 times a week. I live with my partner so on my days off I am usually flexible! I have a husky, hamster and fish who are well loved and cared for. I love spending time with them. My dog gets two medium sized walks per day and my hamster gets a run around outside their cage!

“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”

“Fiona was brilliant! It’s the first time we have ever left our precious rescue pup but she took such great care of him and gave us daily updates and photos. He was so well looked after and our house was immaculate when we came home. Cannot recommend Fiona highly enough.”

Simon C.

“Sarah was great with Dylan. He took to her immediately so l had no qualms about leaving him. She was good enough to do two nights running for me as l had big birthday celebrations with various family and friends. I will certainly use Sarah again.”

“David and Laura looked after Alfie overnight for the first time. I wasn’t sure how Alfie would cope as he is not used to being away from me but I came back to a happy doggy. Not only did they take on Alfie but also my sisters 2 year old Spaniel who is a bundle of energy. I received some funny pictures and updates. Also Alfie has been struggling with his leg so they also had to give him medication which was not an issue for them. Thanks again! Has defo put me at ease for all my future overnight bookings! 😊”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life and I have extensive experience in caring for them in all shapes and sizes. I am very active and can keep up with the most energetic puppies and playful cats but am also very patient by nature and find caring for elderly or slower animals just as rewarding. All animals are welcome. I have confidence in caring for anxious animals, administering most medications, and supporting training in younger animals who are still learning. As an independent designer I can work from anywhere at any time so can fit my days around what you and your pets need. I enjoy engaging with animals and take their lead on how much play and exercise time they like without needing to rush back to anything. In all things, the animals comfort comes first. When I am sitting or visiting in home, I prefer to match my schedule with whatever your pet is familiar with to make sure there is as little disruption for them as possible.

“Absolutely amazing. Very responsive and great communication. We had a lovely meet and greet with the dogs at Porty then a week later Tracey was sitting for the pups in our flat for the weekend while we got married (unfortunately they weren't allowed at the venue). The dogs love Tracey, they and the flat have been looked after very well, such a huge relief to know everything was in safe hands. We had great updates throughout the weekend of their walks and just chilling at home. We absolutely will be using Tracey's services again in future. 11/10.”

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.

“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.”

About: Love all dogs big and small! I grew up with a family called Kim and now have a dog of my own called, Luna! She is a 5 year old border collie x golden retriever mix. She gets on well with all dogs and I have been working on reactivity with her for the past few years. She has came on amazing and taught me a lot about reactive/nervous dogs. Over the years I’ve gained a lot of experience with dogs through family members dogs and walking them! I currently work part time and most times I finish by 2pm-3pm. I’m more than happy to use my free time helping other dogs owners by walking/visiting there dogs! As I have a puppy my flat is well puppy proofed so all dogs would be safe and also well stocked with plenty of toys. While I do not have a garden I am a ground floor flat with access to a grassy area right outside, as well as this there are plenty of lovely walks nearby and I am 2 minutes from a great big field as well at the beach!

“Naomi is brilliant, nothing was too much trouble for her and she was great with our nervous rescue dog. She kept in touch and sent pictures, will be recommending her to others.”
