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.

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

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've always had pets , since a child. I love spending time with animals, walks in nature, cuddles on the sofa and making sure they're wagging tails and/or purring My schedule is flexible and if I'm not working that week then I would be available and delighted to care for your much loved pet. Depending on the pet and pet owners needs and preferences. Information and tips about pets are welcomed so their pet feels relaxed, pampered and happy 😊

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.

“I’m really happy with ellian as she takes loofy on nice long walks where he likes to be in fields and wooded areas where he can explore also he seems to enjoy the company of the other dog”

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.

“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!”

“Ellie has been fantastic with my whippet Nell. She took my request for dog walks at the last minute and I can't say enough good things. Nell loves her and I'm happy to know I have someone I can trust when I'm new to the area. Thanks Ellie”

“Claire has walked my dog twice now and has kept me updated with lots of photos. Would certainly recommend.”

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.

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.

About: I have been bought up around dogs for 25 years now, reliable and trustworthy, been around many dogs within family and neighbours, currently take an elderly neighbour dog out for a daily walk. I don’t just love to care for dogs I have a passion for care at home and adult services. My main job is care at home and adult services, availability may change slightly due to having a rotation rota, sooner you book in the better for me however happy with any last minute I may be able to do. Unfortunately I won’t be able to care for dogs in my own home at present. However I currently live in a flat and have access to a communal area and local walk routes, so a good walk will be completed.

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.

About: I’m taking care of dogs from last 3 years. I would always love to give my attention and companionship to the dogs. Having in-depth knowledge of animal care and training techniques. I’m mostly working from home and I have a very friendly welcoming dog who can give your pets a very good companionship besides me. I have lot of backyard space to make them play and have good enough time to take them out for walks for every 2 or 3 hours. I am staying in a detached house with a good fencing in the back yard and a welcoming dog who loves to play with her mates.

About: I have had experience with caring for dogs and cats (and even tortoises!) since I was around 9 years old, with full responsibility put on me at 16. I have previously owned 4 dogs (2 reactive) and 8 cats, who have lived under the same house. Caring for complex dogs like Jack Russells and Border Collies, I understand how to deal with reactivity, prey drive, and have extremely strong legs! I am also familiar with puppy/toilet training, senior care and diabetic dogs, as I have cared for dogs both young and old! I am currently available most days and I'm able to drive. I can give as much care as your pet needs, including walking, administering medication etc. I have a fenced garden, a friendly 6 month old border collie girl and 3 aloof cats. I can crate your dog if needed (and if crate is provided), but aim to treat them like family whilst they are with me!

About: Hi, I'm Rachel, a dog lover and artist based in central Perth. I'm offering my pet sitting services to good natured four legged friends in Perth and the surrounding area 😊 Past experience: My childhood dog was a Norfolk Terrier, who was great - but a classic terrier! We next got a Romanian rescue who had been in a kill shelter so was quite anxious. My family fostered a number of other Romanian rescues, so through these experiences and having one of our own, I am familiar with looking after those of a more nervous disposition, and the importance of building trust slowly. Having done lots of pet sitting throughout my life (including cats) and using Borrowmydoggy when I moved to Scotland, I later joined Rover to share my services more widely. I treat each pet as if they were my own and love building a genuine relationship with a dog over time and learning their quirks. I am able to follow care instructions, work with their usual routine to make them as comfortable as possible, and balance fun and play with firmness when needed. About me: I am approachable, trustworthy and reliable. I love spending time in nature; I am a landscape painter so the surrounding areas provide significant creative inspiration to me. I have a car and am located in central Perth, right by the river and the South Inch park, with lots of nice local walks nearby. I currently work full-time but I am able to be flexible on my office days (the more notice the better for this). I am particularly able to do short-term sits, such as a single day or day-night-day, but do feel free to put through any requests for longer and I'll see what I can accommodate! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, any queries just let me know 😊 I currently work full-time so if you require my services in the week it'd be good to know that your dog would be ok with me spending time sitting at my laptop (with cuddle breaks of course). I am generally 1 day per week in the office but I do have some flexibility in my schedule, particularly with a bit of notice. I am in a first-floor flat, no garden but very close to green space. My flat is clean and smoke-free. I live on my own, and pets are welcome on the sofa and bed if allowed!

About: I have experience looking after my family golden retriever, who sadly passed away recently, as well as two cats who I miss very much as I have moved out of home. I have walked several dogs via other apps and have also looked after neighbours pets while they are away. I am now studying my Masters and would look after other people’s pets until I can get my own I currently am studying my Masters degree so my time is often very flexible, occasionally things pop up but I’m happy to work round what you need where possible I understand that different pets have different needs and so I will take the time to ask what is best for your pet and will work with that

“Fay and Ian have been super with my overly affectionate, and definitely reactive, OEB Riley. They’re prompt, friendly, great with communicating when they’ll be round/ when they need to make changes to the schedule and amazing with Riley (even when she insists on picking up every plastic bottle in sight). Can’t recommend them enough!”
