“Thank you Amy for taking such great care of DJ. I really felt at ease knowing he was being taken care of so well and given some attention while I was away. At this busy time of year Amy was 💯reliable and would recommend her to anyone.”

“Naomi did drop in visit to our dog, Reilly. Everything went well. Naomi communicated well and Reilly was happy with the visit. We will be contacting her again in the future.”

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.
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and grew up with a family dog from the time I was 8 into adulthood. I developed a love for caring for his needs, which lead to becoming passionate and taking initiative about his training. The more involved I was, the more I wanted to learn and deepen my understanding and care for animals, from bathing, training, different breeds and their behaviours, and overall care. Over the years, I’ve looked after a wide variety of pets for friends and family, from playful puppies to senior companions. In 2019, my husband and I welcomed an elderly dog with high anxiety and specific dietary needs, and we were able to give him lots of love, comfort, patience, and stability during his final years. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, and I truly enjoy giving them the love and attention that helps them feel safe and happy while their people are away. If that means long walks, playtime, sticking to special routines, or simply offering quiet companionship, I adapt my care to what each pet needs most. I’m reliable, detail oriented, and will always treat your pets like members of my own family. I also know how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos to keep you connected. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. As a full-time homemaker, I have the flexibility to give your pet plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the week and weekends. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, so you can feel confident they’ll have company and comfort while you’re away. I have a secure, fully fenced back garden where dogs can safely play and relax. Our home is calm, comfortable, and family orientated. We have a gentle 6 year old child who has grown up learning how to be kind and respectful to animals. We’re lucky to have beautiful walking paths, forest trails, and safe ‘off-lead’ areas nearby, perfect for exercise and adventure, depending on your dog’s comfort and recall. I also have a car and am happy to drive for walks or home visits, so your pet can enjoy a change of scenery or a favourite spot. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine, making sure they feel settled, safe, and loved whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them in their own home.
“Kayla did a great job looking after Midnight! We received regular updates and photos/videos, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. Midnight seemed very relaxed and well-cared for when we returned. We’ll definitely be booking Kayla again!”

“Matthew was just brilliant with our 2 cats. He seemed to strike a real bond with them and puts a lot of care into what he does. That shone through in the pictures and detailed updates he sent us. We’re delighted and so relieved our cats were in safe hands and will absolutely go straight to Matthew again in the hope he’s available to look after our girls when we go a trip away next. 5*+!”

About: I have 5 years of every day experience taking care of my dog but I was doing dog sitting my friends' pets for longer. I treat every animal as if they were my own. I work from home and I always make sure that pets feel safe, happy and well cared for. When I'm out it's usually not for long and I'm pretty flexible with the dog's routine. I have a large, fenced back garden availabe directly from home and big, friendly giant - my lovely german sheperd, who will be more than happy to have a company to play and walk.

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.
“This is the second time I have used Ashlyn, and her service is fantastic! She keeps me up to date with my dog, sends photos and happily picks up the phone if needed. Would highly recommend Ashlyn, and will definitely book her again”

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.
“Michela was very attentive towards my cat ‘Astrid’ during her drop- in visits over the festive period, I received regular updates via video messaging on her progress. I would highly recommend Michela to anyone thinking of using her services and will definitely be booking her again. Thank you 👌”

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.

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.

About: I’ve taken care of my dog ( Shiba-retriever mix, weighs 20 kg) since when I was 10. I have dog/cat sitting experiences in Japan, the U.S., and Scotland.

About: What sets me apart is the level of structured, attentive care I provide. I have a 5-year-old Golden Retriever of my own, so I fully understand the responsibility, patience, and consistency dogs need every day. I have experience caring for both young and senior dogs, and I tailor my approach based on their age, temperament, and health needs. For puppies, I reinforce basic training such as leash manners, house routines, and positive behavioural habits using consistent, reward-based methods. For senior dogs, I prioritise comfort, gentle exercise, medication schedules (if required), and close monitoring to ensure they feel safe and relaxed. I treat every dog as if they were my own — with patience, reliability, and clear communication so you always feel confident while you’re away. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine, with regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and companionship built around my flexible work structure. Your dog will not be left alone for long periods and will receive steady interaction and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment with a structured routine for walks, meals, playtime, and rest. As I work from home, pets receive consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I carefully follow all instructions, respect your space, and provide regular updates for peace of mind. I care for every dog as I do my own 5-year-old Golden Retriever — with patience, responsibility, and genuine affection.

Helena was great with my cat Charley as always. Charley was happy and healthy when I came back from my holiday. Helena was playing with him every day and seemed like Charley had a good holiday too😁. I will book her again if she is available and highly recommend her services.
