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 have always been an animal lover! I’m currently studying HND animal care, already having achieved my HNC. I have previously volunteered with a dog trainer, I am also currently 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’m currently studying animal care at college, most of my classes are online so I have plenty time to look after pets! I only work part time once a week on Saturdays so am unavailable then. I have a fenced large garden with plenty space for running around. My own dog loves to play so your dog would return tired! Pets are part of the family, and are treated so accordingly in my house.

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.

“Alice is absolutely wonderful! Ramsay is 6 and we have never before now needed the help of a dog walker or sitter and he couldn’t be more excited to see Alice when she has taken him out for walks or been taking care of him. He has great fun with her, goes on the best walks and always seems extremely content after having adventures together!! Highly recommend Alice 👌”

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've always had pets , since a child.

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 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!

“Very pleased with Stephanie. She walked our dog over a period of time and updated us daily. She is very obviously good with dogs. I would have no hesitation in recommending her.”

About: I’m 21 years old, studying Sport Business Management 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 my fourth year of studying at university, yes I have my dissertation to write but I don’t have many ‘set’ classes this semester which gives me the time for this :) My schedule usually involves football training a couple of times a week: Thursday 12-2pm and Sunday 10.30am-12pm 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.

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

“As a dog mum, you have the gym guilt of leaving the dogs when you go on holiday, Fay & Ian made me feel that the dogs were on great care and having fun on their walks! I would definitely recommend them as they made me feel my fur babies were in great care and being looked after again! Will be using Fay and Ian again! Thank you again!”

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: I have trained puppies. Friends and family trust me to look after their dogs for long periods of time. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks. I am currently on maternity leave so I have tons of availability and flexibility. I enjoy walking dogs during the day and cuddling at night! I live in a flat but have a large enclosed back garden. I can put your dog in a crate if needed and they can also run around!

About: My name is ffion and I love looking after any pet. I have had dogs since I was a baby and currently look after my current dog while parents are working. I have an HNC in animal care and currently studying for a HND vet technician. I love walks and I am able to walk any dog with any behaviour and any age. I am a student in aberdeen so I study full time, I am free satarday and Sunday and if needed I can do evening. I can't look after the animals at my flat but I am can come to the owners house With my dog i walk him everyday, I will feed him 2 times a day. Providing good enrichment is really important for me so I will always make sure to play with him. With other dogs I make sure I get to know them slowly if they are nervous and always make note of any behaviours which could indicate they aren't comfortable for any reason

About: Your dog will be with someone who truly sees them. I create a calm, happy environment where they can relax, play, explore and feel completely safe. Whether your pup is energetic, anxious, shy or clingy, I adapt to their personality and give them the kind of care that makes them feel secure and loved. Expect soft hands, patient walks, lots of reassurance and someone who genuinely enjoys their company. I do my online work and studying from my laptop, which means I can bring it with me and stay close to your pet throughout the day. I love shaping my schedule around your dog’s routine — whether they like long morning walks, quiet afternoons, or lots of playtime. Once I’m settled in, they get my full attention, comfort and company. I’m also very happy to know their favourite treats or toys so I can bring things they’re allowed to have and make their day feel extra special. My goal is always the same: to keep your pup feeling relaxed, understood and completely cared for while you’re away. I’m really calm and gentle with animals, and I always make sure your dog feels safe, seen and comfortable. I stay mindful of their routines and needs, and I keep the environment relaxed and predictable so they never feel stressed or overwhelmed. Whether I’m in your home or out on a walk, I pay close attention, give clear reassurance, and create a space where your dog can fully settle, explore and feel cared for.

“Ziva enjoyed her first walk with Nicola and has taken to her very well. One happy wee dog and owner :)”
