2. Sam B.

“Sam has been great housesitting with Finlay, who is always very excited to see him, and I'd happily recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”


3. Amaris A.

“Sirius was well looked after by Amaris overnight - he is always happy when someone will oblige him with lots of snuggling! Amaris kept me up-to-date with him so I knew he was safe and happy.”


4. Will W.


“Fergus is rarely left with anyone but family but having met Will prior to leaving Fergus with him, we felt confident that he would be well looked after - and he was! Fergus had a great time playing with Will and his own dog. Would recommend Will to anyone looking for a sitter for their dog. Thanks Will! 🐕”


5. Hazel B.

“Hazel and Daniel were amazing 🤩 house sitters when we left our miniature dachshund Daphne with them for a few days. We returned home after a family wedding to a very happy dog and they really took care of our home too. We strongly recommend them, especially if you have a nervous or lock down dog as they lavished the best care and attention on our little dashie! Thanks so much 😍”


6. Natalie G.
“Natalie is very good with all pets. From a young age she has cared for Guinea Pigs and rabbits. Over the last 15 years she has owned a number of cats and dogs. Currently she has 2 dogs, a Golden Retriever age 7 and a Cavapoo age 5. She has a large back garden and parks and woodland walks are just a few minutes walk away. Your pet will be well cared for, whether you leave it with her or she comes to yours for day sitting.”


7. Casey W.

“Casey kept in touch all the way through the booking process, We met before hand so she can meet our retrievers and work out a plan for when we’re away . We booked doggy day care for two mornings four hours per day Casey kept us up to date how they were doing as our boys can be a handful at times . I have no hesitation in using Casey in the future and would happily recommend her services the family and friends .”


8. Joshua D.

“What a great young man my pug Molly took to him right away . He did a brilliant job next time I need a house sitter Josh will be on the top of my list . Thanks Josh 🤗”


9. Sarah K.

“Sarah looked after Roman, who suffered complications from his neutering operation. I was nervous about leaving him with someone while I went to work, but I shouldn't have been! Sarah was great; she promptly arrived on time, and the minute she met Roman, I knew she would take good care of him. She kept me up to date throughout the day, and there were no issues at all. I requested that Sarah prevent Roman from licking his incision (which is not an easy task as he has found a way to get to it even wearing two cones of shame!)However, I arrived home to a very happy, content kitty who had not licked his wound all day. I will definitely use Sarah for cat sitting duties again. Roman loved her so much he spent most of last night waiting at the door for her to come back!”


10. Abbigael O.
“Abbigael is one of the few people I feel completely comfortable walking my dog. She has taken the time to listen to everything I had to say about his weird ways, and taken them on board. My dog responds to her brilliantly and is always excited to see her. He seems to know that she is in charge. Abbigael sends photos and feeedback on the walk. She has boarded Peanut for me and spent 2 nights in my home. She is a bubbly, friendly young woman and I can’t recommend her highly enough.”


11. Aspen A.
About: Love taking care of them lots of cuddles and treats provided. Long walks to burn some energy and lots of time to play. Dogs will never be left alone. Unlimited toys and enrichment with lots of space to run around the house and abig sucure field five minutes walk away from me. dogs with good recall can be let of if owners want and a 30 ft long line can also be used if recall is something needing worked on. Walks will be every two hours length depending on the dog. I’m happy to just head out for a pee break or to run around the fields with them plenty of balls or tugs to play fetch with to. Photos and updates will be provided throughout the day and there’s plenty of space for them to nap as well with access to beds and sofas with lots of blankets to cuddle up in to. Hoping to make this a home from home for them I am available on short notice and can look after them any time I try and keep to a schedule with walks and feeding having a routine helps the dogs settle a lot quicker. I am trained in first aid for them and can train them if that’s something you want I won’t allow them to talk to dogs that I don’t know as I don’t want them to have a bad experience with others


12. Kirsty M.

“We found Kirsty a delight, and so did our wee pooch, Maggie! She was punctual, responsible, friendly and professional, and is obviously a dog lover - she won Maggie’s heart as soon as she walked through the door. Soon after we left the house, Kirsty messaged us to let us know that Maggie had settled in with her perfectly, and that all was well. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to doggy-sit again for us, and recommend her to anyone. Thanks to all! Irene and John, and of course, Maggie!”


13. Ellie S.
About: I have 3 years of experience either doing pet sitting or dog walks. I am a very active individual so love long dog walks to keep your pets active too. I am free most evenings to go and pet sit in your home. I am able to be free most weekends too to look after them. I have a fenced back garden with no other pets in the family. We have experience looking after dogs for weeks as the owners are on holiday




14. Catherine M.
“Princess spent 4 days with Catherine & her partner and I can honestly say I am so happy I trusted them with princess ! During the stay they always kept me updated on how princesses was doing, sent me pictures & videos of what she was up to, so that eased my mind. When I went to collect princess she seemed so happy and healthy, so I myself couldn't be happier! Will certainly keep them in mind for in the future!”


15. Maryke K.
“Maryke is such a loving, caring person and takes care of all animals like it's her own. She will go out of her way to keep them safe, healthy and care for them. From regular walks, to feeding schedules, to random pop in visits. She regularly keeps you updated and sends the cutest pictures of your fur babies, making you feel at ease when you are not with them. She always responds to calls and messages fast, which is great customer service. She is very accommodating, will go out of her way to help wherever she can. I would highly recommend Maryke as a Pet Sitter/Caregiver. It is clear that she genuinely cares about pets and that this her passion.”


16. Iwona D.
About: I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and ages, including puppies, elderly dogs, special needs dogs, medicated dogs, nervous dogs, and pregnant dogs. Growing up, my mother was a Shih Tzu breeder, which provided me with valuable insights into dog development, veterinary care, and overall well-being. I hold certified qualifications in Canine First Aid Level 2 (VTQ) and Pet Sitting, and I am licensed, Vet approved and insured through Protectivity. Additionally, I am currently studying canine psychology and nutrition to further my knowledge. Dogs are at the heart of my life—I have two of my own, Koko (a Shih Tzu) and Buddha (a Standard Poodle), and I strive to provide them with the best care, nutrition, and quality of life possible. Dog care is my full time job, and I'm home throughout the day, except for dog walks, quick drop-in visits, grocery shopping, and occasional appointments. This allows me to provide consistent care for your pup year-round. My business hours are as follows: - Drop-off: Anytime from 8 AM - Pick-up: Anytime by 8 PM The property is equipped with CCTV and a secure backyard to ensure your dog is in a safe environment. Prior to drop off, I will email you my T&C’s, of leash consent form and medication form (if required). You will need to have read through these and will need to sign a page of the paperwork upon drop off. You will also need to provide me with your dogs veterinary booklet as proof of vaccination and microchip. You will receive daily updates, including photos and videos of how your dog is getting on. You can also check out my Instagram @_juliasdogcare_ or Facebook “Julia’s Dog Care” for regular updates.


17. Jason B.
“Jason is great at taking care of pets. He’s very patient and gentle when it comes to meeting new animals and loves to play and care for animals”


18. Alessandro A.
“When I left my puppy at Alessandro’s residence, he immediately became best friends with him. He was patient with listening to me about the services I expected and had no issues with him. By the time I went to pick up my puppy, he was full of satisfaction and overall he seemed happier than when I dropped him off. 100% would use this sitter again.”


19. Reece C.

“Reese was so nice to Emma, he sent me some pictures and he replied every time I asked for Emma, thanks Reece.”

About: I love dogs and have had dogs my whole life. I have my own miniature dachshund who is now 2 and couldn’t imagine my life without him, dogs really do make a family! for the past year I have been a professional dog walker based in Edinburgh. Taking care of up to 7 dogs at a time, and it’s the best career change I have ever made…even in the pouring rain. Due to my walks being nearly fully booked every day during the week I would only be able to board 1 dog at a time during the week at weekends I would be able to take 2 dogs I work full time as a dog walker in Edinburgh but I am off every weekend and during the week I’m home by 3.30. If you required sitting during the week then your fur baby would come to work with me which would include 2 1hr walks within a pack, this can be on lead or off lead depending on your dogs recall and they would have to get on well with other dogs in order to come out with the pack. I have a large enclosed back garden which is easily accessible from the house so your dog would have free access to it for comfort breaks and play. Dogs can be crated if required and will be allowed on the sofa but must be able to sleep alone as no dogs will be allowed on beds, my own dog sleeps in a crate at night however as long as yours is happy to sleep in their own bed/crate then they will be allowed in bedroom but just not on bed
