About: * please note I can’t care for dogs who are unable to be left alone* A life long lover of all animals, I’m especially fond of dogs and in particular the border collie! My old collie unfortunately passed away and I haven’t been able to consider another yet. I work on a hybrid basis 4 days a week, therefor any pets that I’m caring for would need to be used to being on their on for a period of time during the day. I live near plenty green spaces in South Edinburgh, and have a small unfenced garden on the ground floor. Therefor it’s suitable for older dogs who can’t do stairs however any dogs I’m caring for will remain on the lead until we reach a secure fenced in area. I provide lots of walks, cuddles and attention, and I don’t mind dogs being on my sofa.

About: I grew up in a small village surrounded by animals—dogs, cats, cows, pigs, rabbits, chickens—you name it. Since I was little, I’ve helped my grandparents care for them all, and that early bond with animals shaped who I am today. I absolutely love being around animals, especially dogs, cats and horses—they bring me peace and joy. Over the years, I’ve also helped friends care for their pets, including larger breeds like German Shepherds. I love all animals and I think dogs naturally respond to that energy—I think they can feel how much I love them! I go on long walks every day around from Palma to either El Molinar or Can Pastilla, and it would be a joy to have a furry companion by my side. Whether it’s keeping your puppy active, giving your senior pet gentle care, or just making sure your cat feels loved while you’re away, I’ll treat your pet like family—because that’s how I’ve always seen animals. Right now, I don’t have a full-time job—I’m the founder of a small startup, and I’m currently focusing on growing my business. This gives me a very flexible schedule, so I’m available any day of the week, including weekends. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I love spending time with animals, and I can easily adjust my day around their needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, I always aim to create a calm, loving, and safe environment. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, walks, play, or quiet time—so they feel comfortable and at ease. I also pay close attention to their behaviour and needs, making sure they’re happy, healthy, and well looked after. If I’m staying in a pet owner’s home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure everything stays clean and tidy. I send regular updates and photos so you can feel at peace knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I treat every pet like part of the family—with patience, love, and lots of cuddles (if they’re into that of course!).

“Louisa was fantastic in helping us out when our train home got cancelled and could look after our cats an extra day at short notice. Would definitely recommend”

About: I've come from a big family of animals, including birds, cats, dogs, reptiles, hamsters, rabbits and guniea pigs. I have an MA in Human-Animal Interaction and my retirement plan is to open a rescue sanctuary to work with vulenrable people. I am currently renovating my property to include a barn for chickens and goats, to add to the two dogs and the two cats I have. My rescue cat is a senior, and my rescue dog is nearly in his golden years too, my other two I have had since they were a puppy and a kitten. Whatever age your loved one is, I have a wealth of experience, patience and love and would be delighted to take care of your furry family. I am currenty unemployed while I work towards my rescue sanctuary, so I can be pretty flexible. With my own pets, we walk every day, explore new places at the weekend and we take time in the evenings to train or to spend some time with various enrichment. I have a 6 foot fence wraping around my garden, signs on my gate to make other people aware of the animals and I have blocked off any sneaky escape artist areas. In your home, I will adhere to the rules you have in place. I have worked with many skittish dogs and cats and I am no stranger to those that have a rebellious streak!

“Wow! Our experience with Sarah was literally a game-changer for my husband and me. We had stopped bringing our 2 dogs to the kennel; it became too upsetting for them as they got older. If we couldn't find a family member to dog sit, one of us would just stay home. It was not ideal, to say the least. That all changed when we found Sarah! Our girls love her, and so do we. TBH, I was probably the most anxious of all of us before we left. Sarah was great about being in touch, which was very reassuring to me. We loved the photos and/or videos of happy dogs she sent every day. We were able to relax & enjoy our time away. Together. We look forward to calling on Sarah again and again!”
