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.

I can’t recommend Elizabeth enough. This was our first time using Rover, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. Elizabeth was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared so much about our dogs. She kept us updated throughout the visit, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It made such a difference knowing our dog was in safe and caring hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind sitter.

Eirini is a very nice, energetic and enthusiastic sitter, even on her 1st visit to my cat Julius she managed to make him warm up to her quickly. She sent me photos of her interactions with Julius straight away. Overall comms to organise everything and get to know each other went smoothly. Julius will certainly see her again! I would definitely recommend Eirini to look after your fur-baby.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have always loved caring for them. I’ve looked after guinea pigs, cats for neighbours and friends, and lots of family dogs. With dogs, I’ve cared for both energetic pups who enjoy long walks and adventures, as well as older dogs who need shorter, gentler outings. Lately, I’ve been walking a border collie a few times a week, taking them to the park and the beach. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’m self-employed and can choose my days, which means my schedule is very flexible. I’m free most days of the week and can adjust easily to your pet’s needs — whether that’s regular toilet breaks, feeding times, or long walks. I take care of pets by following the owner’s instructions for food, walks, and any meds. I give them attention and playtime, keep everything clean, and watch to make sure they’re happy and healthy. I also let the owner know how they’re doing.

THANK YOU Natasha for going completely above and beyond! We're so grateful to you for taking such good care of our wee cat Luna. 🥰 Natasha did twice daily drop ins for us while we were on our honeymoon. We were a bit nervous about being away from our wee cat so long, but Natasha put us at ease with detailed updates/photos each time she popped in. Luna also LOVED her and was super cuddly with her - it's really clear Natasha has a way with cats! Natasha also stayed longer at several of the drop ins, making sure Luna got lots of attention. We felt totally comfortable knowing Luna was in safe hands. 1000/10 cat-sitter, would totally recommend Natasha 🥰

This was our 2nd time using Amy and again it was nothing but 5 star service for our joey! We feel so at ease knowing joey had someone so attentive and caring to look after our cat for 10 days. We had daily detailed updates, amazing picture and cute videos showing joey having g lots of cuddles and play time. Cleaned out food bowls and made sure he ate well every time, cleaned out cat box and followed instructions on locking doors etc. I would recommend Amy time and time again to anyone wanting their furry babies loved just like you would. 5 star service! We will be rebooking again whenever we are away. Thank you again so much, joey definitely misses you ❤️
