House Sitting in North Ayrshire

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have always been comfortable caring for them, walking them, and understanding their different personalities and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important it is for owners to feel their pets are safe, happy, and well looked after, and I always aim to provide calm, caring, and trustworthy support. I’m happy to follow feeding routines, provide regular walks, playtime, and give pets plenty of attention and care. I’m especially good with friendly family dogs and making pets feel comfortable and relaxed around me. I work Monday to Thursday, so I am available for pet care on Fridays, weekends, and some evenings depending on the time. I can also be flexible with advance notice. I’m happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet care during these times, and I will always make sure I plan my schedule properly so I can give pets full attention and reliable care. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and secure. I pay attention to feeding times, fresh water, walks, and any specific instructions given. I take a calm and patient approach with animals and always treat them with care and respect. I understand that every pet has their own personality, so I take time to make sure they feel safe and relaxed around me. I am based in North Ayrshire and am reliable, tidy, and respectful when visiting someone’s home. I always aim to provide trustworthy and consistent care so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: I've taken care of small animals all my life and grew up with dogs. I'm a fully qualified vet nurse and have worked in the veterinary profession for almost 4 years. Animals are my life and I care for them for a living as well as my own at home. I'd also care for small furries if given detailed instructions. I'm currently working full time as an RVN so my schedule may be quite difficult to manage. I am available most evenings and weekends for walking/home sitting. I unfortunately can't offer services in my own home as I have a reactive German Shepherd who appreciates her own space. I would love to care for animals in their own home and stick to their normal routine as much as possible. I also give loads of hugs but I can give them their space if needed.

“Sophie and Katie were fantastic in helping keep my Great Dane boy company . Lots of photos and contact , would not hesitate to book with them again :)”

About: Hi, I’m Emily, a lifelong cat lover and proud Registered Veterinary Nurse. Having shared my life with cats for many years, I understand just how special they are and how much peace of mind it brings to know they’re being cared for properly while you’re away. With my veterinary nursing background, I not only bring experience in everyday care and handling, but also the reassurance that I can confidently monitor your cat’s health and wellbeing. Whether it’s giving medication, keeping an eye on subtle changes in behaviour, or simply providing company and cuddles, your cat will be cared for as if they were my own. I know every cat has their own unique personality, routines, and quirks, so I take the time to get to know each one individually. From shy and independent cats to playful and attention-loving ones, I tailor my care to suit their needs and keep them happy and comfortable in their own home. My goal is to make sure you feel relaxed while you’re away, knowing your feline friend is in safe, loving, and experienced hands.

About: Experience with energetic puppies from my own pup! I live 5 minutes walk from the beach for prime walks & play time. I have experience with senior dogs also though it is more limited. Im currently working part time nearby, often evenings. So I have plenty of time for pet sitting or walking during the day time! The beach is only 5 minutes away from me Experience with energetic pups from my own, we have a large backyard all fenced in. I mostly offer dog walking but am happy to pet sit within another home

“Rosie was a great dog sitter for our Border Collie, Thistle! She stayed in our home and was very tidy. We loved the updates throughout our time away. Would highly recommend her 💙 🐾”

Shannon M.

“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.”

Pamela G.

“David and May were lovely and looked after my little handful Bella overnight. They were very attentive to all Bella’s needs and I would highly recommend them to look after all fur babies as they are such caring people. Even though Bella don’t get along great with their own dog Toby 🐾 they did a fantastic job looking after her.”

“This gal is absolutely fabulous. Prior to the first board we met several times, took my girls a wander and had some coffees and I felt at ease knowing my girlies were in safe hands and someone who will just hug them and care for them as I do. Sending me pictures of what the girls are up to. Highly recommend! Relieved to have found her services! Thank you again ☺️”

“Our 2 springers- Charlie and callie- had the greatest time with Robyn. We had updates and photos twice a day, putting our minds at rest as this was the first time we've left them with non family members. Callie can be a bit stand offish with people she doesn't know but she was cuddling with Robyn almost immediately. Charlie got cuddles and Robyn let him sleep on the bed with her. They couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and neither could we. Thank you for looking after them so well Robyn, we really appreciated the peace of mind. Karen”

Karen S.

“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%.”

Michelle C.

“Pipa the dog and Oreo and Biscuit the cats really loved Sidney. Oreo in particular isn't keen on strangers but Sidney he liked so she must have done something right haha! Pipa had a lovely day out during Sidney's stay too. House was left lovely and tidy and all animals well looked after! We would definitely be happy to have Sidney again :)”

“Jessica took excellent care of our older Staffy during her 4-night/5-day stay in our home. He requires medication and had a slight limp (caused by a little too much running on the beach), so he needed a little extra attention and care. Jessica was gentle, attentive, and clearly mindful of his needs throughout. She managed his medications reliably, ensured he was comfortable, and was sensible about taking him for walks when he was up to them. We returned to a happy, relaxed dog. We would be happy to have Jessica care for him again and would confidently recommend her to others.”

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.

About: I’ve owned dogs since a very young age. I’m obsessed with any animals big or small and love to care for them. I own my own horses aswell so know what hard work is like. I currently work in a doggie day care for the past 3years now and love my job I currently work 4 days a week. The rest of my days are available for me to spend loads of time with your pets and give them the best care possible The safety of your pet will always be my priority! I’ll always make sure there is a secured area for your pet to play and have fun
