About: I have 3 sausage dogs that I treat like my own babies. They get the best walks and snacks, and we love a snuggle under the blanket. I’m lucky that my husband and I work remotely and never need to leave them alone for too long. I decided that I can provide that reassurance to other dog owners, knowing that their pups are also safe and snug with someone while they’re away ❤️ I work remotely and choose my own hours, which is great for flexible pet care and managing a dog’s routine. If they have specific walk times, feeding times etc it’s no problem at all. I care for pets in their own home so that they’re always in a familiar space, surrounded by their own comforts. They get to keep their own bed! I’m also a qualified paramedic so I am comfortable with medication and additional needs.

About: I’ve been a dog person since I was 11, when my first dog Lady came into my life unexpectedly and utterly changed it. She was re-homed with us when her family moved abroad and from the moment she arrived, she became my dog. That bond was instant, magical, and honestly addictive. Since then, I’ve owned, loved, boarded, walked, and cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes and my life is fuller for it. I believe dogs are basically permanently furry toddlers. They need love, routine, reassurance, stimulation, and above all someone who treats them with the same care you’d give your own child. That’s exactly the kind of care I provide. I offer a calm, safe, affectionate home environment with plenty of company, structured walks, and space to relax. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality and routine so they feel secure and at ease while you’re away. Whether they’re a nervous first timer or a seasoned house guest, I tailor care to suit them. I’m happy to stay overnight, keeping your dog comfy, safe, and spoiled in their own space. You can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for like one of the family. My regular availability for boarding is Friday evening from 7pm to Monday evening at 7pm, ( I can collect) perfect for weekend getaways or short breaks. I also have extra time during the summer holidays and festive periods, so feel free to reach out, I’m always happy to help if I can! If boarding with me your pet will have access to a secure, fenced garden for outdoor time and play. While I don’t have crates myself, I’m more than happy for your dog to bring their own bed, crate, blankets, or comfort items, whatever helps them relax and feel at ease.

About: Ever since I was younger I have helped walk and look after family and friends pets. Ive also helped to train some of these animals. Ive got an NC and a HNC in animal care. I'm also a RVN. I am confident in walking all sizes and breeds of dogs. I am also able to administer medications I work full time at a veterinary practice. I have Tuesdays, most Saturdays as well as all Sundays off. I can be quite flexible during weekends for doing both walks and visits. I may also be able to do some evenings. I am happy to try and work around my schedule. I will listen to the owners instructions and the needs for their pets. If house cats I will make sure they will be still in the home before I leave. For dogs I will cater walks to their needs and energy requirements.

“Chloe looked after our little puppy really well. Good communication prior to the sit and no issues at all during or after. Thank you Chloe! :)”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for years. I will follow their routine and follow your instructions. I love cuddles, walkies, and playtime. I'm a very caring person and responsible. I send photo updates on every visit. I'm currently self-employed working from home so I have lots of room in my schedule for bookings whether they are made in advance or booked last minute. I care for pets in the pets home. I listen to clear instructions from owners and will do everything that is needed to ensure that your pet is given the best care possible.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life from a young age. I have lived with 2 amazing rescue greyhounds, walked friends wonderful whippets and looked after 2 loving Labradors I am currently a University student on my summer break. I am generally free at all times this summer from June-September. Just let me know what you need and I will try my best to be there! I stick to routine, making sure feeding and walking times are consistent. I am happy to play in or outside and taking long walks or short walks when needed. I am able to assess dogs comfort and emotions and take the correct approach to make sure they are always the happiest they can be!

About: Hi, I’m Julie, I have been around animals as long as I can remember, from horses to goldfish!! I have great experience with elderly pets, my Persian cat Nallah lived until the age of 25! My little moggie Tootsie is 18 and thriving and my Staffy Belle is running around like a puppy at 14! I have done a lot of work for Staffy Rescue Scotland so have experience with nervous rescue dogs who need that little bit more reassurance to feel safe and secure with a new face. I have experience in house training both puppies and kittens and make sure this is a positive and rewarding time for them. I have a lot of love to give, your pet will be treated like one of my own. Kisses and cuddles a plenty. I enjoy taking my dog on scenic walks to Pucks Glen Dunoon, Johnshill Lochwinnoch and Glennifer Braes, my dog is very well trained and dog friendly. She has recently lost her Brother, Buster, so taking your fur baby for a walk with her would make her a very happy girl to have some company. I am currently not working so I can offer any hours you require. This may change once I go back to work, but I am hoping to fill my days looking after your much loved pets. I have a calm home. My dog Belle is very well trained and likes nothing better than to snooze in her bed after a long walk. Paws are always cleaned before we come back into the house or car and this will be the same if I am coming to your home. I will never leave a dog wet, if we are caught out in the rain they will be towel dried and then given a treat for being a good boy/girl.

About: Having lots of pets over the years I've realised how difficult it is to find someone to care for them and understand the value of a trustworthy and reliable sitter. I've got a masters in Agriculture, (Professional Member of the Institute of Agricultural Management) have owned a herd of alpacas, had cats/birds/hamsters/guinea pigs, and currently have a dog and a bearded dragon. I'm passionate about animal welfare and have studied Animal Behaviour at undergraduate, as well as presenting my thesis on improving animal welfare for my MSc. I'm not able to have more pets at the moment but would love to meet yours! I'm a professional civil servant with a flexible schedule and my own transport. Happy to tailor visits around you and your pets needs. I'm available to look after any pets in their own home on their terms, visits/overnights/walks/feeds - whatever you need! I’m happy to stay full time in your home should that be what you need for sitting, but flexible for other arrangements too :) I have a Disclosure Scotland and a PVG too! I work a flexible schedule and happy to make tailored plans to suit you and your pet when you need them! I often work from home. I am respectful, discreet and tidy, and would treat your pet with the utmost care and attention in your home, following your instructions exactly, which I would expect if someone was looking after my pet!

About: I’m a secondary teacher so I love dog sitting in the school holidays or at weekends. I live alone and it can be quite lonely - dog sitting is a great way to keep busy and have lots of cuddles! I love all dogs but primarily bigger ones. I grew up with a black lab for a lot do my childhood then had a terrier when I was in my earlier twenties. I’m a full time teacher so only available weekends or school holidays. I usually don’t take dogs when I’m at school as this would be unfair on the dog. I basically let the dogs go wherever they want in my house. No area off limits unless I’m out. Dogs can be on my furniture, I have blankets on my sofa. I also allow dogs to sleep in my bed at night. Even when they have their own bed, dogs always opt to cuddle up with me haha! My front garden is fenced and perfect for a quick morning pee but I usually walk dogs round to the football grounds 10 mins away from the house. I usually choose 3 walks a day and go to bed around 10pm so the final toilet outing is at 9.30pm.

About: I’m Lauren, aged 24. I have grown up with pet dogs and cats so have always been round animals from a young age. I unfortunately no longer own a pet where I am staying but would love to help out with some of your furry friends 😊. I absolutely love animals and have looked after several dogs and cats for friends and family multiple times before. I live near good walking trails and drive too so I have easy access to parks and other great walking places for your dogs. I currently choose my own shifts meaning much more time can be spent with your pets! I am currently studying at uni to be a paramedic 1/2 days per week but sometimes this is online which works better for pet care! I live at home with my dad. We don’t currently have any pets which means all the attention will be given to your babies! I do sometimes stay with my mum where we have 2x very friendly cats as shown in my photos, but any animal boarding/sitting etc will be done at home with my dad where there are no pets 😊

“Sarah was brilliant at looking after our Vizsla! She kindly stayed in our air bnb with only short notice. We came back to a very chilled out dog and were very grateful for Sarah’s help. Would thoroughly recommend and would book again.”

About: I understand each dog has individual needs and that these can change. There's always been a dearly loved dog under our roof from when I was born, and getting to care for them has been the biggest privilege of my life. Available in Glasgow City Centre throughout weekdays and in Helensburgh on weekends, feel free to get in touch and we'll see about getting something sorted - I am also available through the summer to provide pet care while you are on holiday As your pet's safety comes first, when we go on walks I can keep them on the lead the full time, or let them run about and play in open spaces like parks if they have reliable recall. When they're returned home they can be provided with anything else they need (getting dried off, or put in their crate, food etc)

About: I'm the first call when someone brings their puppy home in my life. I've had chill dogs, reactive dogs, and lazy dogs of my own. I've coached friends and family through good dog practices, and tired their pups out for them when they need that essential break! My dog is a social big guy, and he can join me if that would benifit your pooch too (get them nice and tired out!) I'm a creative, which means I spend a lot of time on my own, making something our of nothing. It also means I don't need that evenings and weekends cool-down other people do. I've noticed it's so hard to get my own dog watches for me to attend a wedding, a funeral, or just a gig! So I want to do that for others, because sometimes they just need a friend in to play with them for an hour or two to break up a lonely evening, and encourage them to sleep sound until the owners are back home Playtime! I have a while book of tricks to teach and games to play with dogs, and it it really makes them happy to engage in some play. If it's sunny we'll be in the garden, managing the heat, taking advantage of all the room for activities, and if it's raining it's the same but with a towel-down after getting out for the toilet. And cool down time too - it's great to get them a bit worked up and joyful, but it's really fulfilling to bond as it's time to calm down, get cozy, and say my farewell.

She is a rescue from Cyprus and I’ve owned her 4 years now . She’s reactive to other dogs initially so I’ve had to think outside the box walking her , I take her often to enclosed fields so she can come off the lead and run. She has a medical condition that I’ve had to manage . She’s on pills every day, so timing is important . It’s been a long journey over the last four years but with a lot of care and attention, she’s a completely different dog. No longer anxious and afraid of everything , and it’s a complete cuddle monster now . My routine is flexible .
