“Lesley is an earth angel & cannot say how lucky we are to have found her! She helped us through a difficult few months when we had to board Bella with her more than a few times, as well as have day care. Our only worry was whether Bella would want to come home again! Bella always has a brilliant time with her & has made many doggy friends there who she is always thrilled to play with. We receive lots of photos & video updates & she deserves more than the full 5 stars!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs all my life, from helping family friends with their pets to assisting close friends in training their young dogs. My boyfriend and I also regularly look after his family dog, we love taking him on long walks and keeping him active and engaged. I’m reliable, experienced with dogs of all ages, and treat every pup like part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into our routine, my partner works from home Monday to Friday, so there’s always someone around during the day. I’m available in the evenings to give your dog plenty of attention and care. On weekends, we love walking around the city and spending time in parks, which is perfect for keeping dogs active and happy. We have a garden flat with a fenced shared outdoor space and plenty of nearby parks for walks. I follow each dog’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy, whether at our home or yours.


About: I am Giulia, I live with my partner and our corgi Mortimer in a flat in the heart of Edinburgh. We are close to The Meadow (if your buddies love to meet new friends), Holyrood Park (if they prefer a more peaceful and calm park) and to a small park just behind the flat, perfect for a wee walk. Mortimer is very friendly and always happy to spend time with new dog friends :) I have always had huge love for animals and especially dogs. Since I was younger I volunteered at my local shelter back in Italy, taking care of dogs and walk them. This experience has been very important to me, I had the chance to learn how to approach many dogs with different personalities, and also with no-longer-puppies with trust issues. It has been years since we started dog boarding and walking and it has been a great experience. We will do our best to provide a loving home for your furry best friends while you are away! We want to keep your dog's routine as much stable as we can, providing as much cuddles, exercise and play as he/she needs! :) I can't wait to know your furry fellas! I work full time but I have a flexible schedule and can work remotely if needed. I usually give my dog a long walk/play in the morning and after work, and a shorter one at lunch and before going to bed. My flat is close to The Meadow (if your buddies love to meet new friends), Holyrood Park (if they prefer a more peaceful and calm park) and to a small park just behind the flat, perfect for a wee walk.

About: I have lived around cats and dogs my whole life, and just love to be around animals. I have recently moved to Edinburgh from New Zealand and love to be outdoors (with a dog preferably). I have recent experience caring for my large breed, elderly doggo Cooper, he is now 14 and requires more time and care which I have really enjoyed doing for him. I also have a ginger tom called Antony... Enough said! Both my boys are back home in New Zealand, I would love the opportunity to care and look after your loved ones while I am here. I am currently unemployed, after working as a paramedic in Wellington, New Zealand. I am walking and running everyday, multiple times a day, to keep active and a routine. I enjoy going for smaller and larger walks (up to 10km), and would be happy to run with dogs up to around 5km. This would fit perfectly for walking doggo's and popping in for pet care. My partner George ( who would be an additional care taker at times) is also a huge animal lover and works from home time to time and would love some cuddles. We make sure our pets have a good routine and can know what to expect. Treats, walks/runs, cuddles, ensuring they feels safe, have their own space and just to hang out. We have no pets in our apartment and are close to many parks and trails.
