House Sitting in North Ayrshire

“Ebony came to visit watty before her stay to get to know him and make sure he was comfortable. Kept in communication throughout and gave updates. House was as it was left. Would recommend.”

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.

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.

“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 💙 🐾”

“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”

About: Friendly dog walker in Ardrossan & Saltcoats. I’m used to both shy and active dogs and always follow your rules. Safe, relaxed on‑lead walks, plus a quick message and occasional photos so you know how your dog is doing. I can help in the morning before 08:30 and after 5 p.m. On weekends I am usually free, but I need some time for my cat. I have a cat, which I moved from Ukraine, her name is Krasunya, she is 4 years old. Usually, my cat is inside my house, she likes to play with me.

“We were very happy with Denise. When we came home the house was spotless and everything was in order. More importantly, our 4 month old puppy had obviously had a lovely time with Denise and seemed calm and relaxed. We would be happy to use Denise again.”

“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 ☺️”

“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.”

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.

“Fantastic, would highly recommend. Sidney dog sat our 8 month old in our home for an overnighter. Lots of photos and updates, Monty clearly had a ball. We’ll definitely be asking Sidney for help again! 🥰”

“Angela looked after Sammy for us on Friday 3rd April for our sons wedding. I can honestly say we were so happy when we met her she was so friendly and most of all Sammy really liked her which is great because he's quite nervous of strangers. I will certainly book Angela again .”

About: After 10 years in retail and most recently working in the transport industry, I'm taking the plunge into the world of all things dog where wagging tails, muddy paws and happy adventures are the whole point of the day! Having left school with the mission of being the next female David Attenborough (clearly not achieved😅!) I've followed my heart and looking to build a future around something I truly love 🐾 Whether it's walks, company, a little extra care or just someone who understands their quirks, Dottie about Dogs will meet their every need. I am fully insured, canine first-aid trained and proudly covering Ayr and the surrounding areas. Even though I am still working in my current job, I'm building this little dream step by step, and I am so excited to meet the wonderful pups (and people!) who will be part of the journey 🥰 Thank you for all your support, Emily 🐶🐾🐕🦴 With pet care I will always work around your needs and busy lives! Where I can offer services I will always make sure this is the best for you and your pet. I look to offer and home from home environment, aiming to create a calm and caring environment for your pet! I will adapt this to each service be it walks, drop in or boarding - what you expect I will always provide and a little bit more 🥰

“Abi was a superstar looking after our greyhound Scooby. She took him on lots of adventures and kept us updated with photos. Abi was very reliable, quick to respond and very flexibile with handing over care from a friend as we were on holiday. Would highly recommend and hope to use Abi again in future.”

About: I've grown up with both dogs and cats, from playful pups to independent kitties, and have always loved caring for them. I bring experience, patience, and genuine affection to every pet I look after, treating them like family. I really love caring for dogs and cats and can work around my schedule to give them the attention they need. I’m gaining experience to eventually start my own dog-walking business, providing love, companionship, and reliable care along the way. I have a front and back door, main door flat. Both front and back garden are fenced off and safe for animals to roam freely and play.

About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs, from family pets to working farm dogs, and now work full-time in a dog day care. With a canine first aid certificate and hands-on experience, I provide safe, loving, and expert care that goes above and beyond. I currently work full time but I am off Saturday through to Monday; the perfect time for your pup to come for a slumber party!

About: I have a passion for all animals and I have decided to follow my passion and help look after your furry friends. Animals have been an important part of my life for as long as I can remember. When you trust me with your pets, I will treat them like my own, like family. I currently work part time, as a support worker, and the rest of my time I look after animals. I have a flexible schedule and can usually accommodate last minute bookings. When looking after your pet in your own home, your pet will be more comfortable than in a strange, different environment. I will treat your home with respect and ensure everything is how you left it.

About: My mum done Rover for 4 years and before that she would dog sit for family, friends and neighbours so I have a lot of first hand experience with various animals and breeds. We have had puppies of our own which I toilet trained and we’ve had senior dogs which we had to have a set routine in order for their needs to be met. I’m currently a full time University student at Stirling Uni however, my days and times are flexible to fit you and your furry friends needs. I find it very easy to adapt to the animals and discover their needs and wants to help ensure they receive the best care possible.
