“Naomi has helped me out with drop in visits and dog walks, she’s great at providing updates on the dogs and has helped me out with my last minute requests a few times! Would definitely recommend!”
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’ve always grown up with dogs since I was around 9 years old. Myself and my partner are not in a current position to buy a dog so happy to help out other families where we can! We love dogs of all ages and sizes and we are super outdoorsy so can do long walks and adventures if required 😄 We are available every weekend for plenty of dog play and we work from home Mon/fri so can account for long weekends and long walks on lunch breaks and pottering around :) our priority is the safety and wellbeing of a pet! We have a fenced garden with no other pets. The home is set up to be safe and friendly for any pet coming and want them to be comfortable! We currently have no other pets so attention is all on them :)
“Anna has been fantastic! She has been walking our dog twice a day, and we couldn’t be happier with her service. She is punctual, reliable, and clearly love animals. Our dog absolutely adores her and comes back from walks happy and well-exercised. Communication has been excellent, and she shared photos of the walk. Highly recommended!”
About: Hello! I’d love to care for your cats while you’re away on holiday! I have two cats of my own and have owned cats for more then 15 years! I own a small stationery business and work from home so I have plenty of time to pet sit! I normally will do 1 or 2 visits a day! I came from CatInAFlat so I’ll be only looking after cats for now! I own two lovely cats so I will not be boarding pets in my own home. I will come to the owners home and feed and play with the pets and of course scoop or change the litter box! I’ll always make sure I’ll leave the home clean and tidy when I leave!
About: I have five cats of my own, so caring for pets is a big part of my everyday life. They’re all boys and all very different, so I’m used to different personalities, routines, and giving each pet the care and attention they need. I’m comfortable with automatic litter boxes, pet feeders, and water fountains, and I know how important it is to keep everything clean, topped up, and running properly. Looking after my own cats has made me patient, reliable, and very aware of the little things that help pets feel safe, settled, and cared for while you’re away. I work part-time from home and study Law full-time at Edinburgh Napier, so I’m used to managing my time well and have a fairly flexible schedule. I also have my own car, which means I can be flexible with travel and visit times. I have five cats of my own, so caring for pets is part of my everyday routine. At home, I use fully automatic litter trays and clean them daily, including emptying waste, topping up litter, checking the app, and cleaning the sensors to make sure everything is running properly. I also use automatic water fountains and feeders, so I’m used to topping up water regularly (especially with five boys who drink a lot), keeping everything clean, and making sure food is given on a set schedule with the right portion sizes—not too much and not too little. In a pet owner’s home, I’d follow the same level of care and attention, keeping everything clean, consistent, and comfortable for your pet.
“Matthew has been fantastic with Ruby. She took to him strsight away. Totally reliable and really good communication. She's always really settled on days when she is out with him.”
“Lily has been having so much fun with Katherine. Katherine is punctual polite and such a lovely person. Lily always comes back having had a good walk and then she has a good old snooze”
About: I have owned and taken care of dogs for over 12years. I am an animal lover and take the time to understand an individual dogs needs and their quirks. I have lots of experience looking after dogs who have their own individual needs, I am very adaptable and will make sure your dog has the best care. I truly think every dog should be living their best life. Weekends are flexible and can be tailored around your dog’s individual needs. As I have two dogs of my own, your dog will be well walked and have plenty of company and attention. I live in a friendly estate with a secured fenced garden. I take the time to know dogs before taking them on walks, and I also adjust to their needs to allow them to feel relaxed in my home.
“Thank you, Eilis! What a pleasant experience (for both Scottie and me) - it really gave me peace of mind, knowing that she felt safe and happy with you. Your feedback and photos made me feel like I did not miss out on any of the action, thank you for that. Looking forward to meeting you again.”
About: Hello, I'm Ewa I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by them, and in Poland I have three dogs of my own – two small and one medium-sized. Since moving to the UK, I miss them very much, so spending time with dogs here brings me real happiness. Looking after dogs has always been a natural part of my life. I've cared for my own dogs as well as dogs belonging to family and friends. I enjoy long walks, playtime and quiet moments too. Every dog is different, so I always take the time to understand their routine and make them feel safe and comfortable. I offer dog walking, home visits, daycare and care in my own home. I live in a quiet flat with access to a large shared garden. To make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, I only welcome one dog at a time (or two from the same household). 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: I’ve been around dogs most of my life starting from watching neighbours furry friends to now enjoying life with my Cocker Spaniel - Rollo. I always try to give every dog a home boarding experience that makes them feel comfortable and like they are in a home away home. Our daily and weekly routine is as follows. 7am - I complete breakfast time and morning walks allowing the doggies to enjoy waking up, enjoying locating sticks, sniffing spots and exploring till 9am. 9am-12 - Working from home I ensure the dogs have constant supervision with the doggies free to enjoy the garden and partioned part of the house until 12. 12-3pm - After the afternoon walk (12-1.30pm) we have rest time where the doggies can enjoy relaxing in the house, watching Bluey or dog TV and the most important things (doggy yoghurt ice lolly and cuddles). If everyone has been good we stop at Starbucks for a well deserved Puppacino. 3-5pm - I usually finish work by 5pm where I organise dinner time and evening adventures (Roslin Glen, Musselburgh Lagoons & Holyrood Park are my favourite evening walks). 8-10pm - Winding down time is where we begin to get settled in for the night with relaxing in the garden and movie night with popcorn. Each dog is different and we make sure to make them feel comfortable and make their stay with us as much as like being at home as possible. For dogs boarding with us my non negotiable is that every dog upon arrival will be checked in and issued with a GPS collar with our contact details
About: Have 4 years experience working as an assistant in a dog grooming salon and have completed placements with a variety of animals so I am used to a variety of temperaments and sizes! I work a flexible part time job so I can have a varied schedule. Days I’m available will vary each week so that’s why a 2 week notice is necessary so I can prioritise my time to spend with your pooches! Your dog’s safety & welfare are my priority. I can cater to their needs whether they want to play or have a snuggle on the sofa!
“Emma has been really great with my dog on his daily walks and her love for dogs really shows. Very proactive with updates and responsible! Would definitely recommend~”
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!
About: We’re a dog-loving family offering short-term dog sitting in a safe, fun, and loving environment. As former dog owners, we have plenty of experience and love taking long walks to ensure your dog stays active and happy. While we don’t have our own pets due to work commitments, we absolutely adore dogs and would love to welcome yours for a short stay. Our young child is especially excited to have a furry friend to play with and shower with attention. Rest assured, your dog will feel like part of the family during their time with us. As myself and my partner both work full-time, our availability is primarily during evenings and weekends. However, my partner has the flexibility to work from home, allowing us to accommodate day-care, boarding, pick-ups and drop-offs to better fit your needs. Myself and my partner care for pets in our home by providing a safe and comfortable environment where they can feel at ease. Our house is all on one level with no stairs, making it easy for pets to move around freely. We have a large, secure enclosed back garden with high fences, allowing for safe outdoor time. Pets have free roaming access to the entire house, ensuring they feel like part of the family. We're also happy to follow any specific instructions or unique requirements your pet may have. Additionally, we offer plenty of local on-lead walks to keep your pet active and happy.
About: I have grew up with a variety of animals with care and love and also helped others care for their own since I was young. I would like to care and play with your animals whilst you are busy with your work and life. Connecting with each ones individual personalities I am very loving and intuitive to every animals needs and wants and enjoy spending time playing and cuddling with animals. Making sure their needs are met.

Nicky was fantastic! Her love for dogs really comes across and I knew I was leaving my pup in safe hands. Great communication throughout (including photo updates), all care needs followed and flexible with timings. Our dog was so happy and relaxed during his stay and we definitely intend to use Nicky again. Would highly recommend!
First time using the app(/dog walker) so wasn’t sure what to expect. Anna was fantastic with her communication. I was booking late but Anna put me at ease. Received pictures of the walk and the dog was suitably tired, which is always a good sign 😊 highly recommend

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Midlothian. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Midlothian.
