Dog Walking Kinross

About: I have a range of experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds having owned dogs from a young age up to adulthood. Having grown up on a farm I have experience working with cattle dogs as well as owning dogs from puppy age. I believe that dogs are family members we choose to have so will take care of your dogs as I would if they were a part of my own family. I am also a keen walker in all weathers so you can rest assured that your dog will receive the exercise they need daily. Due to working office hours Monday - Friday I will only be available for petrol sitting over the weekends to allow for full attention and care. Pets in my care at home will have a safe, loving and attentive environment. I will ensure they receive plenty of attention and regular exercise as well as prioritising their comfort and well being. I will pay attention and follow any specific instructions you provide to meet their unique needs.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, so I’m very aware of their needs & requirements. I tailor my approach to each pet’s individual needs to ensure they feel safe, happy, and cared for 😊 Despite working full-time, I can offer dog walks and dog visits during the week on days I work from home. If you need a dog walker during the day while you’re at work, give me a shout! When caring for pets at your home or my house, I ensure to follow any specific instructions provided. This includes feeding, walks, & most importantly playtime! If caring for pets at my own house, I have a garden space for the zoomies and toilet breaks! Also a comfortable space will be set up for them with their essentials like food, water, bedding and toys. Regular walks, playtime sessions and cuddles (if they enjoy them!) will be provided throughout the day. 😊

“Rachel is absolutely lovely and Ricky said he had the best time ever playing with her and Rod 💜 Highly recommended!”

About: I grew up surrounded by a variety of animals - dogs, cats, horses, alpacas, sheep, poultry, and tropical fish - and have always had a deep love on animals. I have always had a dog in my life and have owner-experience of Border Collies, German Shepherds, Springer Spaniels and I currently have a young Cocker Spaniel who I enjoy training and taking on adventurous walks. I work away so I am not always available, however when I am at home I am available all day everyday so can dedicate whatever time is needed to the animals in my care. I am happy to visit the dog or cat in their own home, feed, take for walks or toilet breaks, and play. I will always treat the dog and their home with care and respect. I am happy to take the dog in my car to a more interesting walk location, but only if the owner is happy for this to happen. Walkies can be with my dog or own their own, whichever suits the individual best. For house sitting services, I have a campervan which I would prefer to stay in at your property as I have my own dog.

About: I truly love dogs and have grown up with many family pets over the years, all of whom I consider part of the family. Being around dogs brings me so much joy, and I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your pet, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care every time. Also my profile says i have cats i currently do not. https://www.rover.com/sit/kellyp62830 - use this link for £15 off your first booking. I work from home, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Because I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I enjoy building pet care into my routine and making sure each pet feels comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I make sure pets are supervised, cared for, and treated with patience and kindness at all times. I follow any instructions provided by owners closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and medication if needed. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a pet owner’s home, I keep the environment clean, calm, and secure. I also make sure pets get regular walks, playtime, and plenty of affection so they feel safe and at ease while you’re away.

About: I have always been an animal lover! I have just finished my HND animal care qualification and passed. I currently work in a boarding kennels and I am also volunteering a a local rescue shelter. I love spending time with these dogs, and walk them once a week. I’ve had dogs in my home since I was 4, and grew up learning how to care for them. I hope to use my qualification to be able to work with animals full time in the future. I’ve just finished my HND animal care qualification. I’m currently working part-time at a boarding kennels facility. On my days off I love to look after dogs! I have a fenced large garden with plenty space for running around. My own dog loves to play so if yours does too, they’re able to have fun together. Pets are part of the family, and are treated so accordingly in my house.

About: I provide loving, reliable care and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience caring for puppies, so I’m confident with toilet training, reinforcing basic training, and sticking to their routines. I also have a very friendly, well-socialised resident dog who loves meeting and playing with other dogs, making your pet feel welcome if they enjoy canine company. Every pet is cared for according to their individual needs, and I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you have complete peace of mind. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine as I’m currently on maternity leave and home for most of the day. I already care for my own friendly dog, so feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship are all part of my everyday life. Being at home allows me to provide plenty of attention, stick to your pet’s usual routine, and make sure they receive lots of care, affection, and regular company throughout the day. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide care exclusively in my own home, where they’ll be treated like part of the family. My home is clean, secure, and pet-friendly, with plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at ease. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. References are available on request for added peace of mind.

About: I’m 22 years old, and just finished studying my undergrad Sport Business Management degree at Stirling. Growing up my friends and family have always had dogs and/ or cats, I’ve always loved looking after them or taking them on walks! I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats in the past and I appreciate that each individual will have their own quirks and personalities and would likely benefit from meeting me before I stay with them :) In the past I’ve even managed to teach my cat to ‘sit’ and ‘high-5’! I’m currently in between studying my undergraduate degree and beginning my masters degree my fourth year of studying at university :) My schedule usually involves football training a couple of times a week: Monday evening, Friday evening, and Sunday 12-1.30pm I also volunteer at a Parkinson’s Singing Group (Monday 3-4.45pm) and Walking Football (Tuesday 10.30am-12pm). I understand that your pets may be wary of a new person and will be sure to give them any space they need! The worst thing we want to do is give them a bad experience and to overwhelm them. I have experience with nervous pets and are able to recognise when not to approach them, although every pet is different. I’ll give them their space in their own home and let them come to me.

“Excellent with my dog and very communicative. Great walker. I’ve hired Claire many times on this app and would highly recommend.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child- walking, grooming, descalating a very difficult family dog, and finding deep joy in the companionship with them. I have also taken care of cats- both as my own pet and later on for friends. I love hiking and have a vehicle most days, and so I can take your dog for a walk that will ensure naptime later! HOUSE SITTING: I am currently doing relief work as a care assistant, with shifts between 4-6 hours in the local area. I am happy to speak to you about your specific pet's needs. If they are ok to be left for 4-6 hours, then I will pick up a couple shifts during my house sit. I will ensure that they are adequately walked, fed, and watered both before and after, with plenty of cuddles after my shifts. If they are not comfortable being left, then I am also happy to negotiate staying closer to home! DOG WALKING: I am currently picking up relief shifts as and when required, around house sitting and dog walking. I am quite flexible except for Wednesdays, Sunday mornings, and certain weekends. I will speak to you personally to understand how to meet your animal's needs in your specific enviroment. Do they run in the garden? Do they need a harness? Do they need regular grooming? I am happy to accommodate whatever the circumstances.

“Shanice was excellent with Puzzle. Kind and gentle with her and Puzzle enjoyed her walks with her. Shanice took photos of Puzzle when walking her so I was always able to watch her. I would recommend Shanice as she loves animals and Puzzle loved her!”

About: I am a dedicated dog owner and currently have a 7-month-old high-energy puppy, giving me hands-on experience with training, exercise, socialisation and routine care. I have also cared for older dogs and rescue dogs with varying needs and temperaments. In addition, I volunteered with Guide Dogs, providing care and support for dogs in training. I am confident handling energetic young dogs as well as those requiring extra patience and attention, and I always strive to provide a safe, loving and enriching environment. I currently work from home Monday to Friday and already have time scheduled to walk my own dog which can easily be flexed to make room for your needs. I have a fenced garden and a friendly dog of my own to keep your fur baby company and make sure they get the stimulation and exercise they need. With access to lots of safe walking routes near my own home and a car to collect and return your dog is needed.

About: Hi! Im Trish ! Thank you for considering my services. 

I’m a lifelong animal lover, professional dog spoiler, and firm believer that every dog deserves to be treated like family (possibly even royalty). I have my own little sidekick, Milo, a whippet/Italian greyhound mix with long legs, lots of personality, and absolutely no understanding of personal space. Having a dog of my own means I completely understand how nerve-wracking it can be leaving your pet with someone else, which is why I put huge importance on trust, communication, patience and making your pet feel genuinely loved and safe.

I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life and have experience looking after all sorts of dogs; tiny nervous pups, giant cuddle monsters, energetic chaos gremlins and sleepy seniors alike. Honestly, nothing is too small, too big, too fluffy or too weird for me to absolutely adore. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and I genuinely love getting to know all their little personalities and quirks, so whether than means I have to sing a song to get your dog to eat, I'm all for it ! 

I live in a quiet, dog-friendly village with a huge park right outside my living room window, which is basically every dog’s dream. I work only 2 and a half days in the office and spend the rest of the week working from home, so there’s plenty of time for walks, play, cuddles, snack negotiations and companionship throughout the day. I’d genuinely love nothing more than some extra furry company while my partner is working as I'm currently trying to persuade him to adopt another sidekick ! 

I also have a car and love being outdoors, so your dog can expect anything from peaceful village strolls to scenic adventures through parks, forests, beaches and munroes depending on their personality and energy levels. Whether your dog wants an action-packed adventure or simply someone to curl up beside and be obsessed with them for the day, I can tailor everything to suit their needs.

You’ll also receive daily updates, photos and probably messages about the funny thing your dog did that day, because I know how reassuring it is hearing that your pet is happy, relaxed and being treated like one of the family while you’re away.

Any questions, feel free to ask me ! Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine. I work in the office 2.5 days per week (Mondays 8.45am-12.00, Tuesdays, and Fridays from 8:45am–5:00pm). The rest of the week I work from home and am available on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and weekends. When working from home, I have the flexibility to adjust my schedule to accommodate dog boarding, walks, feeding times, playtime, and any other care needs such as giving medication. I am committed to ensuring pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, exercise, and companionship throughout their stay, and I can adapt my routine as needed to meet each dog’s individual requirements. I provide a safe, comfortable, and caring home environment where pets are treated like part of the family. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medication (if needed), and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. Dogs receive regular walks 3 times a day, playtime as needed, mental stimulation, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I ensure they have access to fresh water at all times and a clean, comfortable space to rest with multiple blankets and dog beds available. I also provide regular updates and photos to owners for peace of mind while they are away. My priority is making sure every pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for during their stay as I know how stressful it can leaving your loved companion with someone else.

“Fabulous! Ellie is a wee dream, great communication and my Gilbert loves her! Will definitely be booking again. Feel safe with her looking after my dog and being in my house 110%. Thank you Ellie :) x”

I will stop by to give belly rubs and a toilet break, or I can walk/run/train/stimulate your hyper-energetic pup so they can settle down while you are away. Any questions please don't hesitate to ask, I also have experience with smaller pets, cats and horses if there are other jobs to be doing while I'm there. Currently working from home, so if you are local, I can be flexible with my visit timings. Early morning, lunch break or post work/evening visits. Trust is extremely important to me. I want you and your pet to be comfortable with my service, so anything I can do on top of regular communication and live updates please let me know. Safety and security of your pet and home goes without saying. If my visits are going well and I have built a strong relationship with your pet(s) then overnight/multiple days/weeks of care can be discussed.

About: Hi I'm Lauren, I have about 29 years pet care experience this includes my own as well as pet sitting and dog walking for others throughout the years. Over the years I've had many pets who were all very much loved and well cared for but sadly some are no longer here. ( isn't that the worse thing about having pets ). We currently have ; two young cat Pepper & Everest; A Guinea pig Kovu ; Two giant african land snails Bowie and Bella and about 30 odd Ramshorn water snails. So as you'll see I'm used to a wide range of animals not just Cats and Dogs. Monday & Wednesday 3.30pm onwards - Dog walks and pet visits can be provided Tuesday - Doggy day care. Dog walks and pet visits can be provided Thursday from 3.30pm , a Friday & a Saturday - Overnight boarding.Doggy day care , dog walks and pet visits can be provided. Sunday - Doggy day care , dog walks and pet visits can be provided. ..Due to working on a Monday any over night boarding dog/s still here on the Sunday will need to be collect by the evening. Each pet sitting job or dog walking will be choosen by and tailored to the individual needs of the client and their pet/s. It's not a one size fits all and I think tailoring these wants and needs of the individual makes things not only professional but adds a more personal touch as well. Thank you for looking. Please feel free to ask any queries you may have.

“Irene is amazing, really cares about our wee pup and puts our minds at ease when we are away. Couldn't get a more reliable and caring person to look after him.”
