“Jura had a great time with Abigail, she was looked after so well! Abigail sent photos and updates, so I knew everything was going well. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Jura with Abigail again.”

“From the first time of meeting Loraine and Mick we knew Truffle would be safe and very well looked after. They are obviously dog lovers. When we dropped him off he went in very happily and upon collection he had obviously been happy staying there with his routine followed. Thank you Loraine and if you’ll have him back we would definitely use you again.”

“Dieter had a wonderful time at Kevin and Darias! We couldn’t have asked for better sitters. We got lots of lovely pictures and updates and it was lovely to see him interacting with other dogs, playing and relaxing in the sofa. Kevin and Daria had great communication and where flexiable and accommodating. Can’t reccomend them enough !”

“Bella had a great time with Kenny and his wife Norah and Alfie and Molly their dogs. They have a huge enclosed garden and also live near a park with a shallow burn. Bella loves walks and burns. Bella loves the company of other dogs. She was happy to see us back , but didn’t want to leave. That’s a great indication of her having had a great time. We would definitely would use Kenny again, if they were free!!”

“Laura was a wonderful overnight carer for our greyhound. He clearly enjoyed his walk and was completely relaxed and happy in Laura’s home. Always an anxious experience when you leave your dog with a new carer but Laura was totally relaxed and and clearly very competent.”

“Sharon looked after our dog Gus for a long weekend, we couldn’t recommend Sharon higher! We do a meet and greet the night before to meet them all. She instantly put us at ease and we felt so comfortable leaving Gus. She kept us updated throughout his stay, sent us lots of pictures and generally just delivered 5star care. We would absolutely use her again, she was utterly fantastic and Gus throughly enjoyed his trip”

About: I have taken care of my own animals and those of friends and family for 10+ years. I have had my own dog, cats, guinea pigs and hamsters, and have taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes. I currently have two confident and dog-friendly cats. I have experience looking after animals with additional health or care needs, including elbow dysplasia, megaesophagus feeding requirements and giving routine medications. I currently work flexibly from home or in my office, depending on my work and personal schedule. I am able to be flexible, but usually work 9-6 with a lunch break for walks with furry friends. I have a fenced and good sized garden and pets have free roam of the house. Our cats come and go through their cat flap and are confident and friendly with dogs after a couple of meetings. For having dogs at my home, I’d like to understand their relationship and behaviour towards cats. In a pet owners home I would take instructions from the owner on how to care for their animals. I would treat their animals and home with respect and care, and would look to meet prior to be shown the home/where things are kept.

About: Welcome! Experienced Dog Lover in Beautiful Inverness After 15½ wonderful years with our beloved Lhasa Apso, Milly, I now have the time and heart space to welcome a new furry friend into our home. Your dog will receive the same love, attention, and care that made Milly’s life so special. What I Offer: I’m home-based in Inverness, surrounded by beautiful woodlands perfect for adventures and just a short distance from the beach. Whether your pup loves long forest walks or gentle beach strolls, they’ll get plenty of exercise and fresh air. Your Dog, Our Family: From the moment your dog arrives, they’ll be treated as part of our family, not just a guest. I understand how important your pet is to you, and I’m committed to providing a safe, loving environment where they can thrive. I’m happy to send daily updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. A Lifelong Animal Lover: I grew up surrounded by pets (goldfish, hamsters, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs) and have cared for both cats and dogs throughout my adult life. I know what it takes to make animals feel comfortable, secure, and loved. I work part-time my schedule allows for me to have time to ensure dogs are exercised regularly throughout the day I can spend quality time with the dogs in my care. I have a fenced off garden to the rear of my house and a large field and woodland walks on my doorstep to ensure dogs are exercised regularly throughout the day.

“Michelle and her family where exceptionally accommodating, provided frequent updates, long walks and the pooch looked like he had to be torn away.”

“Louisa took excellent care of Bonnie and treated her to a hill walk and a beach walk! Sounds like Skye and Bonnie enjoyed each others company and enjoyed some good belly rubs too.”

About: Laura and I have had dogs all our lives. We routinely dog sit for friends and family. We understand how challenging it can be to have a reliable carer for your dog that you can trust, allowing you to make the most of your time away. Having 3 dogs of varying ages (Axl (15), Chess (12) and Louie (4)), we know how important it is to be flexible in catering to your dog's specific requirements, whether that be medications, toilet routine, exercise or training. Although Chris doesn't hold formal qualification, he is something of a dog whisperer and can use some of the time with your dog to work on specific aspects of obedience with prior agreement. Our baby, TJ, was a 2025 addition to the family and has grown up around our dogs. Naturally, we could not board dogs with a history of agression towards other pets or humans/children. Daily routine - awake 0700-0730, breakfast 0800, dinner 1700, taken outside at 1 - 2 hour intervals throughout the day, short walk around lunchtime, longer walk in the afternoon (dog dependent), bedtime around 2230. Laura and I are currently balancing parental leave and part-time WFH, so there will always be at least one of us at home, if we're not out on a walk. We have a huge (0.25 acre) enclosed grass garden, ideal for training off-lead walking and recall. We are lucky to have locally accessible fields suitable for both on and off lead walks, depending on recall. If your dog travels well, local beaches and forests make for exciting longer adventures.

About: I have always loved dogs and had family dogs growing up. I have looked after and taken care of plenty of friends’ and family’s dogs to help out while they’ve been away since then! I work full time but do some work from home so can hopefully fit this around stays to be there for company. I have plenty of time for walks before and after work. I’m also often around at the weekends and love a good dog walk. I have a fenced garden so your dogs can spend time outside. I also live close to plenty of green space which is great for dog walks.

About: I’m an animal care assistant looking to spend more times with animals outside of work. I have looked after all of my own pets for many years. I’m currently working full time but I am able to pop in and out of houses while house sitting throughout the day to keep your pet happy and spend as much time after work with them. I will use all the amendments available to me to make sure your pet is well looked after and feels safe and loved while you’re away.

“Sandra did a lovely job caring for Morgan for 3 nights. She sent an update on the first day with photos which was very reassuring. Morgan looked happy and healthy when picked up. I would highly recommend Sandra.”

“We had not used a dog boarding service before and were quite apprehensive about leaving our Cocker Spaniel, Keira, with a stranger for two weeks. However, after our initial visit to meet Kerry and her own pets we felt more at ease and happy that Keira would be able to settle down with her new friends and family. During our holiday Kerry responded to our messages promptly and kept us informed about Keira’s integration into her new surroundings. I would say that Keira was made very welcome and possibly even spoiled by Kerry and her family so, she would have felt very comfortable in her new “home”. I can highly recommend Kerry as a dog boarder and would have no hesitation in using her services again. Thank you so much for looking after our precious pup. William”

About: Hello, I’m Naomi, a 28-year-old Veterinary Nurse with a lifelong passion for animals. Choosing someone to care for your pet is a big decision, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. As a Veterinary Nurse, I have extensive experience caring for animals of all ages, breeds, temperaments, and medical needs. I share my life with a dog of my own, so I know that pets are family. Whether your pet loves long walks, gentle strolls, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll tailor their care to suit their individual personality and routine. My professional background means I’m confident administering medication, monitoring health and wellbeing, recognising signs of illness, and caring for senior pets or those with additional needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated as if they were my own—with plenty of love, attention, enrichment, and care. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing your best friend is in safe hands. I like to call the “pupdates”. I’d love to meet you and your pet and discuss how I can provide a happy, safe, and caring home-from-home experience while you’re away. 🐾 Feel free to get in touch—I look forward to meeting your furry family member! I work full-time as a Veterinary Nurse at a Veterinary practice in Inverness but I am available almost every weekend, and depending on my shift pattern, I can also provide evening care. I have a spacious, fenced garden, perfect for your pet to explore and play in. Our home is located in a rural area, providing a safe environment. We also have a Labrador with a wonderful temperament who has been raised with other dogs. He is crate trained and enjoys the freedom to move in and out of his crate as he pleases, making him a great companion for another dog.

About: I have had animals since I was a small child and started riding when I was 5. I have had cats most of my life and dogs since I was in my 20s. As well as having my own animal companions, I have been a keen horse riders most of my life and worked with horses/ponies over various times of my life. I have two lovely horses who I ride daily. My dream is to have a small croft where I can have a horse and lots of other animals: goats, sheep and hens. I have 4 collies (2 bitches/2 dogs) who I am bringing on and are well trained and excellent with other dogs. Two of my collies are sheepdogs and I train them regularly. They need a lot of mental and physical stimulation so I am out three times a day, either in the park playing football or further afield at the farm, beach, lochs woods or more rural areas to get plenty of uninterrupted doggo time. I am also experienced in breeding and have raised 3 litters of pups. I work from home Mon- Thùr and take my dogs out three times a day. Fridays and weekends are adventure/play time for longer walks, swimming or exploring new areas. I have a 6ft fenced garden with access to fields, walking tracks, woods. I transport my dogs in a Mitsubishi L200 that is kitted out with transport crates. We love beach time, outdoor swimming and collie-ball (football with collies). My dogs are my best friends and closest companions. I have a teenage son who assists with park and beach walks and shorter walks locally if they require 1:1 time. I work 4 days per week from home and have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are dedicated to family time and dog time with plenty of adventures 😀 we go on adventures daily and the dogs gets plenty of exercise at the farm where I keep my horse. I have an enclosed back garden and access to fenced fields for exercising the dogs. I am responsible and attuned to the needs of my animals. Health and safety comes first.
