It was our very first experience with a dog sitter, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. From the very first meeting, Anna felt like part of the family – warm, trustworthy, and clearly very experienced. She was understanding and attentive to all our and our dog’s needs, and it was amazing to see how quickly he connected with her – already on their first walk together, they seemed perfectly in sync. It’s rare to find someone you can trust so naturally. We feel very lucky to have found her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone. Since she also offers dog boarding, we feel completely at ease leaving both our dog and our home in her care, knowing everything will be safe, well looked after, and filled with kindness.

About: Hi! I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter with over 3 years of experience looking after family friends’ and neighbours’ pets. I’ve cared for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, so I understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I’m active, patient, and love spending time with animals whether that means long walks, playtime, relaxing company, or giving them extra attention and care while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe happy and comfortable like they’re with family. You can count on me to provide loving dependable care and treat your pets as if they were my own. I’m available every day with a very flexible schedule, including early mornings, evenings. I’m an active person who enjoys daily walks and runs, so energetic dogs and longer walks are never a problem for me. I wake up early and can stay up late if needed to make sure your pets are comfortable, settled, and cared for at all times. Whether your pet needs plenty of exercise, regular routines, or just companionship throughout the day, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and schedule. As a pet owner myself with both a dog and a cat, I understand the responsibility, patience, and attention that goes into caring for animals properly. I’m confident handling feeding routines, walks, playtime, crate training, and following household rules to make sure your pets stay comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’m active, patient, and love spending time with animals — whether that means energetic playtime or simply relaxing and keeping them company. I’ll always treat your pets with kindness, respect, and the same level of care I’d want for my own animals

About: I’ve been around dogs for many years and grew up with them in Poland. Even now, whenever I visit, I spend a lot of time caring for family dogs. I’ve also looked after pets for friends, neighbours and relatives, so I have hands-on experience with different personalities and needs. I’m not a professional trainer, but I understand how to care for dogs in a calm, safe and attentive way. I love going on walks, playing outdoors, and also spending quiet time giving dogs attention, cuddles and grooming like brushing. I’m a responsible, patient and gentle person. I always make sure each dog feels comfortable, safe and well looked after. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and any specific instructions you have. I have very flexible working hours, so I can easily find time for walks with your pet. Sometimes I have to go away for a few weeks on business, but I think that everything can be arranged and adjusted. I make sure every pet is safe, comfortable and well cared for. I always follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding and walking routines. I live in a tenement with access to a large garden, where dogs can enjoy fresh air under supervision. I also provide regular walks, attention and a calm, pet-friendly environment. I treat every pet with care and make sure they feel relaxed and secure.

About: Myself and my partner Lorimer have both owned and cared for animals for most of our lives. Whilst we do not have any furry friends of our own right now, we would love to spend time with yours! We are both comfortable with cats and dogs of any size. I work full time from home Monday to Friday with a very flexible working pattern. My partner splits his time between home and the office, so there is always someone at home to take care of your pet. We have no children or pets of our own, and a house with a fenced garden. We live nearby some great parks and walking routes!

About: I had my own dog for 18 years, a border collie. I now take care of my dad's dogs when he is on holiday. I walk, feed and care for them. One of the dogs needs a special diet, medication and an injection twice daily so I am experienced in caring for older dogs who need medical care. I currently run my own business from home and I am available for dog walks during the day when you are at work or to board your oet whilst you go on holiday. I am pretty flexible on days of the week. There are enough kids in the house. I have a large garden and live in an area with lots of walking routes available. I am also close to the beach. I have a fenced large garden and I am surrounded my farmland with plenty of walking routes for your dogs. I am also close to the beach if your pooch likes sand and water. I don't have any other pets of children in the house and I'm pretty relaxed.

About: I grew up loving dogs from a very young age, often volunteering to walk my neighbours dogs whenever I could. Since then I have pointed my career in the direction where I can offer services to other people’s pets as I understand trusting a stranger with your animals can be extremely difficult. I work in a vet practice and am currently studying an advanced certification in canine behaviour. I’m up to date with first aid for pets and confident when dealing with emergencies. I can provide FaceTime calls, regular updates and photos of your pets! I have four very amazing dogs myself which I trained. Arlo is a Dutch herder and full of beans, at four years old I have to make sure he is kept active! He loves swimming on the weekends, climbing up some Munros and annoying his older brother Delta! Delta is a German shepherd and has a heart of gold. His favourite thing to do in the whole world is swim in the sea and loves to go camping! He has a rather unusual obsession with rocks which started when he was a puppy.. but he continues to make myself and everyone else laugh as he will do anything to try and bring one home. I have another Dutch shepherd Moose who would literally hang the moon and stars out himself if it meant seeing other people happy, this boy just radiates happiness! And Toula who is my newest addition, she is a Belgian malinois and has to be the most affectionate dog ever, she’d love to travel anywhere she could on my shoulders… if it was possible! I absolutely adore animals and I’ll always find myself around them more than people. I have experience working with more “challenging” dogs that tend to have different behavioural preferences, I’ve worked closely with the training and assessment of police dogs and hope to set up my own behaviour/training business by the end of the year. Please do not hesitate to get in touch ❤️ I currently work full time in a vet practice but I am available on the weekends or after working hours. I often take the dogs to the beach, lochs, new field or to climb a Munro on the weekends. I would be able to offer more availability if given enough notice as I can take time off work, I’m also available to attend before or after working hours! I understand leaving your pets with someone you don’t know can be very unsettling, I can provide valid references, FaceTime calls, pupdates and photos of your pets on a regular basis. i also understand owners may not want their dog to be given treats, walked for too long or taught different habits so I am always more than happy to do as the owner requests with full trust and confidence that I can give your animals the best care/adventures as possible.

About: I was a dog walker for around 2 years pre covid. I love all breeds and sizes of dogs! My partner and son who I live with share my love for dogs.. thankfully! I am a self employed cleaner in houses around my street, I will always be close to home. We are an outdoor loving family (son goes to outdoor nursery) and are always going on walks in the fields behind us/woods around our town. *please note, we are located in the EH22 postcode area* I have a fenced back garden and I have space for a dog crate if need be. Pets can be fed inside or outside, whichever is preferred. My partner Michael, who can be seen in my profile picture, will be home with myself when caring for your pet. He's also a pet lover who is brilliant at giving ear and belly rubs. If your pet is up to it, they can have a go in his work van!
