House Sitting in Highland

About: As a family we adore dogs. We are previously had a cocker spaniel who lived a happy loved life and died of old age when our daughter was a baby. As our life over the past 8 years has been busy bringing up our 2 children now 8 and 5 we didnt think it was a right time to bring a dog into the family. We are now considering a dog but want to ensure its the right decision before making the huge commitment again. Our daughter who is 8, is a animal lover she has a pony which she shares with her granny and the love and kindness she she shows her pony is heartwarming. She is also very committed to animal welfare and caring for all animals pets and wildlife. She is very keen for a dog and would like the opportunity to prove herself. For her 8th birthday she asked for poo bags to practice picking up dog poo! Serious commitment picking up other people's dog poo!! She has had experience with other family members dogs and friends and neighbours dogs and is very sensible and aware of dog behaviours as has read and studied various dog books. We would obviously support observe and assist the children at all times. As a family we are very active we have a suitable garden for a dog and live very close to a rural walk that is suitable for on lead or off lead walks. We are also own a property on the west coast of Scotland which is almost on the beach pictured. We would be delighted to take a dog that we got to know over time for longer periods to our holiday home for holiday cover if required, it's a dog's paradise. We would mainly be able to welcome a dog during the weekends. As we would all be off without commitments the day would very much revolve around the dog and its needs. We would plan our day around walks and meal times for the dog and it will be with us at all times never being left alone. Completely fenced dog safe back garden. Dog completely supervised at all times in the garden and when with the children. The house will be dog safe and appropriate place for the dog to rest/sleep will be available. No doubt on the sofa in front of the fire if owners allow this!

“Louisa took excellent care of our dog during a unique situation where we were visiting from out of town and needed her to watch our dog at our hotel for the day. She communicated throughout the day and sent lots of photos :) which is highly appreciated and puts your to ease!”

About: Hi! I'm a reliable and caring animal lover who loves spending time with pets. I'm a cat owner myself, so I understand the needs for pets to feel comfortable and well looked after while their owners are away. I currently work a 4-days-on / 4-days-off schedule, which gives me several full days where i can be available for pet care, walks and home visits. As a cat owner I have hands-on experience caring for pets. I regularly dog sit for friends, including feeding, walking and playtime. I am comfortable caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities and am able to follow specific routines, feeding schedules and instructions. I currently work a 4-days-on / 4-days-off schedule. This makes me available for several consecutive days at a time which works well for pet sitting, regular walks or holiday cover. I can offer flexibility on my days off. As a cat owner I understand the need for playtime and attention when needed. As an experienced dog walker/sitter I am used to handling dogs on and off lead and handling interaction with other dogs and dog owners when out walking. I can work with any feeding schedule and food requirements.

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 taken care of dogs for many years. I have fostered and adopted rescue dogs. I have walked and pet sat dogs for neighbours. I am used to caring for large and reactive dogs I work remotely. So I have plenty flexibility for toilet breaks and lunch time walks. I work 9-5 with an hour for lunch. I am active and enjoy reasonably lengthy walks. I dont work on Mondays so can spend more time with the animal's on that day. I am able to work in the dogs/ cats presence so I can interact with them throughout the day. I have public liability insurance and canine First Aid training.

“I can’t recommend Logan highly enough. Logan’s communication was excellent in the run up and he gave daily updates on our dog, who got lovely long walks every day. Logan went above and beyond in keeping our home clean and tidy. And most importantly our dog was happy and healthy when we returned. Thank you Logan :)”
