“I am an overprotective bouncy spaniel mummy and as such I am loathed to trust just anyone with Jasper's care. Kirsty provides Jasper with a loving home from home which he loves , she also caters for his boundless energy and love of many, many walks. Kirsty makes Jasper's care and security as a priority, therefore making me feel relaxed leaving him in her care. We rate her service so highly that we travel from our home near Edinburgh to leave him with her. Happy doggy = happy doggy mummy = relaxed holiday Job done xx”

“Becci is a trustworthy pet sitter, she often looks after my dog, who always comes home content and tired out. She is an active person always taking the dogs long walks. She is very caring, making sure my dog gets lots of cuddles and love. You can be sure your dog will be well cared for when you chose her to dog sit for you.”
3. Emily D.
“Emily has loved and cared for my cat whilst ive been away on multiple occasions and it's never something I've regretted! Alot of love, care and kindness everytime. Emily has took the pet sitting opportunity to get to know my little kitties preferences, and has adapted these in ways to make him feel more at ease whilst I've been away, whether that be cuddles, playtime or his favourite treats. I know I can rely and trust Emily within my home and always receive daily updates and photos. Nothing is ever too much for her, and she will always make it a pleasant experience for myself and my cat. Would recommend to anyone!”

About: I have grown up with animals. We have had Bullmastiffs, Old English Mastiff, Labs, Jack Russell's when I was growing up. I now have a very lively Collie x Flat coat retriever. I have previously owned 2 male German Shepherds. I have also had my own dogs since pups so used to the puppy stages. I took part in dog training with the Poppy the dog I have now. Poppy and I enjoy going out walks in any weather. I work part time just now and night shift. I could walk dogs in school hours 9.30 to 2pm and in evenings in the Summer. When I am not night shift. I tend to work most my hours in one week then off a week. I walk my own dog daily when not working so could exercise with my dog or individually. I know my work hours in advance so could work walks around my shifts. I do have an enclosed garden if I decide to offer pet sitting services in my home in the future. I have 2 young kids age 5 and 10 that have grown up with dogs, previously my German shepherd and now my Collie xFlat coat
