House Sitting North Ayrshire

About: Hi, I’m Emily, a lifelong animal lover and proud Registered Veterinary Nurse. Having shared my life with both cats and dogs for many years, I understand just how much they mean to their families and the peace of mind it brings to know they’re being cared for properly while you’re away. With my veterinary nursing background, I don’t just bring experience in everyday care and handling—I also offer the reassurance of knowing your pet is in experienced hands. Whether it’s administering medication, monitoring their health and wellbeing, keeping an eye on subtle changes in behaviour, or simply providing companionship, cuddles, and playtime, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I know that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether you have an energetic dog who loves long walks and adventures, or a quiet cat who prefers a gentle fuss and familiar surroundings, I tailor my care to suit them as individuals, helping them feel happy, relaxed, and comfortable in their own home. My goal is to make sure you can truly relax while you’re away, knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and receiving the highest standard of care from someone with both professional experience and a genuine passion for animal welfare.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Robyn Our Golden Retriever can be a little needy at times, and because she’s truly like our daughter, it was so important for us to find someone who would care for her as much as we do—especially while we were away getting married. I found Robyn on Rover after reading a few of her reviews and decided to reach out. Straight away, she gave off such a warm and welcoming vibe. When we met in person, Bailey took to her instantly, which meant everything to us. Robyn asked lots of questions about Bailey, which really reassured us that she genuinely cared about getting to know her. We also arranged a shorter sitting session beforehand so both Bailey and Robyn could get comfortable with each other, which was such a great idea. On our wedding weekend, Robyn arrived right on time and even brought us a little gift, which was such a kind and thoughtful touch. Throughout the day, she kept us updated with photos and messages, so we always knew Bailey was happy and well looked after. When we got home, Bailey was so excited to see us—but it was clear she’d had a lovely time too. Thank you so much, Robyn—we’re so grateful”

About: Hi! I’m a passionate and reliable dog carer with many years of hands-on experience looking after a wide range of breeds, including Boxers, Patterdales, German Shepherds, and mixed breeds. I’m confident handling dogs of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies who need structure and play, to gentle senior dogs who require patience, comfort, and a slower pace. I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs and understand the importance of routine, medication schedules, and providing a calm, attentive environment. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and wellbeing will always be my top priority, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I am currently working from home on a non strict timetable, so i am fully able to care for any pets, including walks, relaxing times, feeding, boarding Your dog’s happiness and wellbeing are my top priority. Their day will include plenty of walks, playtime, sniffing adventures, cuddles on the sofa, and quiet time to relax. I aim to keep routines as close to home as possible so dogs feel comfortable, settled, and stress-free. I have completed several animal care certifications including Animal Care, Stray and Feral Welfare Management, Introduction to Kennel and Cattery Management, Introduction to Feline Care, Introduction to Cat Grooming and Health, Introduction to Cat Behaviour, and Introduction to Animal Care. This training helps me understand animal behaviour, recognise stress signals, and provide calm, attentive care for every pet.

“An absolute superstar, thanks again Sidney! She stayed in our home for 1 week taking care of our dog Charlie, sent regular updates and photos and left our house is such a nice and clean state. Everything went so smoothly and we left on our first holiday together with our children knowing Charlie was left in safe hands with lots of attention, cuddles and calmness ☺️ would without hesitation book you again and recommend you to whoever was looking for a reliable and kind soul to look after your four legged best friend 💞”

“Denise and her partner were great sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Our dog and cat were very happy with them, and Denise sent us daily updates. The house was spotless when we returned - the bedding was even laundered and fresh towels put in the bathroom. They even thought to leave us bread, milk and butter. So thoughtful, communication was excellent and it felt good to know our home and pets were so well looked after.”

About: I grew up having cats and dogs. I’m very passionate about animals, and I've started walking and caring for family friends' dogs when I was 14 years old. I've been working part-time in a dog daycare for 4+ years, and can attend up to 10 dogs at a time by myself. I have achieved multiple certifications and taken courses in dog behaviour, separation anxiety, enrichment and canine first aid. I am reliable, trustworthy and a genuine animal lover. I work part-time and as a freelance, so my calendar is really flexible and have plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting. I am free most days except Fridays. I live in a very quiet, ground-floor flat, with double glazing. I don't have a garden or balcony, nor direct exits to a main road.

“Ashlynn's knack for dogs is pretty evident. My Aussie pup and I were instantly at ease with her laid-back approach. Ash has this comfortable, easy-going vibe; she definitely she speaks dog and human equally well and is an absolute pleasure to chat to. Looking forward to more of those relaxed and enjoyable encounters (:”

About: I have many years experience with pet care, including working in a Veterinary Practice, dog walking, check in’s and even overnight stays! I currently work in a local, independent pet shop where I love getting to meet the different pets that come in & get cuddles throughout the day. Through my experience in the pet shop I am educated in dietary requirements and the medical wellbeing of all types of pets and can give recommendations based on your pets needs. I can also provide lots of natural tasty treats! Everyone who has met me, have said they fully trust me with their pet and couldn’t picture anyone else more suited to take care of them and to rely on. I currently own a 2 year old Collie named Clover who is my whole world :) I currently work at a small business Animal shop a couple of days a week. I am open for bookings on Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday, Saturday and Sunday's, offering single and group walks. In the near future I am planning on making dog walking my full time job. I have always had a family dog growing up, and I currently own a Broderick Collie with my fiancé. So I have tons of experience caring for dogs and love being around them! By working in a Veterinary Practice, I have been trained in handling, health and safety and taking care of the pets we had in care. Over the years I have had friends and family reach out to myself to look after their pets including dogs, cats, fish and chickens. At home I also own guinea pigs and rabbits, so I have had a wide variety of animal care and experience.

“We were lucky enough to have Jo look after our two cats when we were away. She moved into our home, kept everything in perfect order and was brilliant with them. Jo sent us regular updates which was such a relief. Her messages and photos gave us peace of mind and made us laugh. Jo is reliable, trustworthy, kind, and clearly a natural with animals.”

About: As a long term owner & lover of hounds, I have a deep understanding of their unique needs & sensitivities. I’m home-based & with mine most of the time, so I decided to open my doors to more. I’ve found it can often be challenging to find sitters who truly understand how these beings tick. I’m definitely a hounds over humans kind of person & never tire of spending time around them & getting to learn about their quirks. I specialise in the care of Greyhounds, Whippets, Saluki’s, Italian Greyhound's, Galgos, Deerhounds, lurchers & at the opposite end of the spectrum- little Dachshunds. I have owned a Deerhound in my time, & currently own two Saluki’s & a little sausage. I also have years of experience under my belt with my sister’s rescue Greyhounds, who each came with their own stories & considerations to navigate. My Saluki’s enjoy being around other hounds, though they are well versed in understanding that the final word belongs to the Sausage! (this also applies to the humans in the house…) I work from home & am around for the hounds 24/7. I am incredibly fortunate to have access to a secure dog field each morning, so a typical day involves giving them a free run in the morning & back for chill time. I’m located opposite a park so extra mooches if required are readily available. I’m guilty of going a little overboard to create a calm space for hounds to relax. We have beds everywhere & they are free to roam in & out of the fully fenced garden as & when they please (when dry of course). On good days they’re free to lounge in the sun. For indoor snooze time, snuggle blankets are non-negotiable & relaxing dog music is often played. Ridiculous I know, but they love it! If you require sitting in your own home, I would be keen to learn all about your hounds routine & needs, & will happily follow their rule book.

“Taya was absolutely fantastic stepping in last minute before I went away on holiday. She went above and beyond and really appreciated everything she did while I was away. Poppy is a very fussy, stubborn dog and not sure of strangers but Taya had sat for poppy before so was pleased I could book her again. I felt happy and confident that poppy was getting on fab while away with all the updates and a surprise that she was eating her food as she is usually stubborn and can go days without eating so I knew that she was very relaxed and comfortable with Taya when she told me she was eating. Absolutely amazing experience with Taya, would recommend 100%.”

I am also currently working on a farm so spend most days looking after lots of animals including overnight care when the farmer is away. Currently working part time on farm from 8am-1pm Monday- Thursday and Sundays, able to do drop in visits/ walks before work.

If dogs have routines of going to enclosed dog parks I am able to stick to routine as I can drive and have had no incidents or claims.
