About: Caring for dogs has been a natural part of my life since I was 15, when my family welcomed our first pup. Since then, I’ve lived with and looked after dogs of all sizes—from playful small breeds to gentle giants like the English Mastiff my husband’s family owned. Even during university, I shared my flat with a roommate’s dog for four years, continuing my daily routines of walks, feeding, and playtime. Now based in Edinburgh, we don’t currently have a dog of our own, but we’re never without a furry friend! Family members frequently entrust me with their dogs when they’re away or busy, knowing they’ll be in safe, loving hands. Our home is just steps away from the spacious St. Mark’s Park, where I take dogs to enjoy fresh air, exercise, and social time with other pups. My son is growing up surrounded by dogs, learning from an early age how to treat animals with care and kindness. Whether it's for daily walks, weekend stays, or longer holidays, I treat every dog like family. My son is in school from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and he will never be left alone with the dog. If the dog happens to be with us while my son is home, all interactions will be fully supervised all time. I work from home on a flexible, project-based schedule, which allows me to devote plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. Most days, I’m based in Edinburgh, as my son attends school here and we follow a regular daily routine around his drop-off and pick-up times. This structure allows me to schedule walks, playtime, and feeding comfortably throughout the day. While I occasionally travel for short work trips or during school holidays, I always make sure my availability is clearly updated in advance. When I’m home, which is most of the time, caring for dogs fits naturally into my lifestyle—I genuinely enjoy having canine company as part of our everyday life. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly flat in Edinburgh with plenty of room for dogs to relax and feel at home. Our home is calm, clean, and welcoming—perfect for dogs of all sizes. We also have access to a securely fenced shared garden that dogs can safely enjoy for fresh air and sniffing around. Inside, dogs are treated like part of the family. I follow each pet’s unique routine and preferences, whether it’s their feeding schedule, walking habits, or favorite toys and snuggle spots. Since I live next to St. Mark’s Park, one of the most popular dog parks in the area, daily outdoor time is never an issue. Your dog will have a comfortable, safe environment here with plenty of attention, affection, and structured activity.
“My pup came back shattered and satisfied! Lysimachos was super flexible and willing to accommodate, asked me about any of my pup’s needs and kept me very well informed through the day with pictures and videos, he did a wonderful job!”

“Jarvis had a great time with Cesare and the lovely Moose. Moose even tolerated Jarvis stealing is toys and his bed. Lots of walks and snoozing, Jarvis was a happy boy. Would definitely book again, highly recommended.”

“Jennifer and her daughter were the perfect hosts for Crumble. They were lovely with Crumble, attentive and caring, just what an older dog needed. Crumble was relaxed and happy, obviously made to feel right at home. Thank you”

About: I've regularely pet-sitted in the past 5 years, especially for small dogs, and my remote work and flexible setting allows plenty time for regular walks. I have a remote job and a flexible schedule that allows time for regular and long walks, if needed. I am very open to adapt to the pet's needs. I live close to a fenced park (Dalmeny Park) and two big parks (Leith Links and Pilrig Park). My flat also has a private fenced garden.
“Claudine and her friend were phenomenal! Really helped me out with a last minute booking. Rev took to them instantly and I know he would have preferred to have more time with them. I felt secure with many pics and updates. They were the perfect sitters.”

“Caitlin was brilliant! My dog had a fantastic time with her and I’m already looking to book her in again. Highly recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a kind and reliable sitter.”

About: Hey there! 🐾 I have my own Wire Fox Terrier named Mei Mei (the one in the pic). She’s currently with my parents back home in China, so I’m pouring my love of her to other babies now. I’m totally comfortable with small, spirited breeds. I’ve also helped friends by walking and caring for their big buddies like Golden Retrievers and two goofy Labs, as well as little cuties like a Maltese. Whether it’s managing high-energy large dogs or gentle small ones—or even playful puppies—I’ve been there! I understand how different every dog can be, and I love getting to know each one’s unique personality. You can count on me to keep your fur baby happy, safe, and tail-wagging! 🐶 Part-time sitter with plenty of time! I’m available for boarding both weekdays and weekend afternoons. Your pup will get lots of love and attention! 🐾🐶 I provide personalized, attentive care tailored to each pet's needs, ensuring a safe, loving, and fun environment whether they're staying with me or in their own home.
“Oleksandra is a very friendly welcoming host and we felt extremely confident in leaving Delia with her. Delia came home tired and happy from her stay.She had had great fun playing with Oleksandra's Dachshund Corny and been on lovely walks each day. We would love to leave Delia with her again.”

About: I looked after my family dogs and friends dogs too. I had lots of pets in the past because I love animals and I had a field. I work from home and have a lovely dog. I live by the meadows and take my dog for amazing walks. It is an opportunity to enjoy the company of best human friends in a pleasant atmosphere. Dogs who came here had the time of their lives. Friends suggested me I should be looking after dogs. I have a lovely dog. I work from home flexible hours so they are all day with me, right next to me getting cuddles and attention and exercise. I have a nice fenced garden, a cosy living room and kitchen. I live by the meadows in Edinburgh, dogs paradise. I only need to cross over to the most amazing park.
“Bronagh looked after Lila for a day during my visit to Edinburgh. She was friendly, and the communication with her was all clear. I'm sure Lila had a lovely day with her!”
