House Sitting in Renfrewshire

“Phoebe was so happy to see Sydney she was bouncing around and ran down stairs to meet her making happy noises . She was well looked after again and was well exercised with her ball which she loves . We got plenty pictures to ease our minds which showed us Phoebe was having such a good time without us . This is our third time using Sydney and are already looking to rebook for our nxt holiday . Would recommend Sydney to anyone needing a sitter and are happy to have her stay in our home to look after Phoebe in her own space makes it so much easier when we go away she’s not to upset about us leaving as she has her friend to come look after her”

“We can't praise Robyn highly enough. She demonstrated the utmost professionalism whilst taking care of our dogs and house while we've been on holiday. Our dogs love her and we have complete trust in her. Thank you so much Robyn.”

“Mark looked after our 2 Labradors in our home when we were on holiday for 5 days. We arranged a visit in advance and Mark was very comfortable around them even when 1 dog was a little nervous and barky. We received regular updates and pics from Mark and the dogs were very spoiled. Mark was very respectful of our home and we came home to a very tidy house. Would 100% recommend Mark to take care of the fur babies, we saw on an outdoor camera their disappointment when he left!”

“Great first experience and definitely the first of many. Daina was wonderful — my dogs took to her straight away and seemed relaxed and happy. Friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with. Looking forward to booking with her again.”

“Dylan has taken amazing care of my wee pup Phoenix🐶 Couldn’t be happier! He has been an absolute angel to have over, and was so good at sending updates, pictures and videos ❤️My wee pup usually takes a few days to calm down when I leave, and will usually just be grumpy, but he loved Dylan straight away which has never happened before! From here on I will only be contacting Dylan if I need someone to pup-sit, and couldn’t recommend him enough!!!🙏🏻🐶❤️”

About: I’ve had all sorts of pets growing up. Always been an animal lover. Family and friends always come to me when they need a pet sitter as I’m the most reliable and trusted. I’m currently at college Wednesday Thursday and Friday but my course ends at the end of June so after that I am free to do every and any days. I provide a safe, loving and calm environment for pets. I’m reliable, patient and always make sure pets are comfortable, well looked after and given plenty of attention and care. I will stick to any routines yous give me and won’t let you down.

About: I have been around dogs all of my life. I am currently the guardian of two dogs and absolutely love spending as much of my day as possible with them. We take long walks across the glennifer braes, road trips to the beach and strolls ans ball throws in the local parks. We are constantly training- sometimes the boys forget their manners, so we are always practicing!! I have raised Marlo from being a puppy whilst flash is adopted so have experience around dogs of all ages and backgrounds. Our household has four years experience also in Epilepsy management. The care of flash can be quite complex- he’s on a strict medication and food routine to help manage his seizures. Growing up the dogs in my life have been German shepherds, Irish setter, border collie, Lhasapso, Labradors, Retrievers, patterdale terrier, Staffordshire bull terrier and of course mungrels. So far and having just started my business I have cared for little fudge who is a french bulldog and a little angel 😇. We had him overnight on a couple of occasions and during the day for walkies a few days also. He fit right in once I got him to calm down 😂 purely excited to be with us he was. I have also had the beautiful and soft natured Belle who's a retired racing greyhound. She immediately lay down like she was at home and bonded with flash who has the same energy as her. She walked perfectly and proudly around with the pack and was just another angel 😇. I have currently a home boarding booked in a with a little lhasaapsu cross who we will go meet first for a we walk and get to know each other. We are really excited about this😊. Finally I would say that my experience with dogs is an extensive one, in life, I have bonded with every dog I have come across (annoyingly for some) I have cared for dogs of all sizes and nature and intelligence! As a business my experience is relatively new as I only ever cared for dogs for enjoyment. Now it's my job and life. I'm a natural with dogs and I'm also training daily by taking on K9 college courses expanding my knowledge as much as possible. Most recently I completed the K9 first aid course and am now qualified in this. Next course I plan on will be a practical one also allowing me to work with my dogs and better my abilities. I work 5 day a week from 5am to 9am so that caring for dogs can be my main focus. My work days do vary but the work times are very static. Im currently studying in a K9 college, expanding my knowledge of dogs in all aspects. My course is flexible and fits around my personal daily doggy routine😍. I am very flexible for times that I can care for other peoples fur babies, and as such can dedicate myself to give the best care possible as and when required by you and your family members. At home I have a secure garden at the back with large grass area for the dogs. Pets have free run of the inside of my home. I can however crate if required in both my own home and your home. I am very proud to be Canine first aid trained and have first hand experience of dealing with sick, old, vulnerable and complicated dogs. I am currently studying at a renowned K9 college to better my knowledge of dogs in every aspect I can. Between me and my partner we have four years of K9 epilepsy management where we are able to administer daily medication for dogs, orally or injection. In worst case scenario we both can administer emergency medication as per instruction. We have a loving home with great vibes for all dogs big and small. We live on the outskirts of paisley right on the countryside border line where we are literally a 5 minute walk to miles of open Greenland and umpteen different walks to choose from. We have a child free household which only means your dog gets %💯% attention and love they deserve.

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.

“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 ☺️”

“Agnes was amazing. My wee dog Ginger is a very nervous rescue. Agnes met her before she looked after her.This was the first time I had left her & I was so worried. I needn’t have been. Agnes kept regular contact & sent me regular pics & I could tell that Ginger was happy & settled. I can’t thank Agnes enough & I would recommend to anyone.”

About: Hi I am Frances, anyone that spends five minutes in my company will tell you that I love all animals but especially Dogs, I feel as though they are just beautiful, caring, compassionate, clever and all round awesome beings that we don't deserve. Can't help but smile when in their company, Living their best life every day in the moment. No coincidence that their name is God backwards. I have had 2 dogs of my own in the past who I consider to be my family and am at a loss without my Son at the moment. I babysit for my friends Dogs if they have commitments elsewhere and consider it a privilege to do so. You don't have to own a dog to be my friend, but it helps :). Rest assured your fur babies are spoiled with me and we have fun playing, and chilling in between the adventure walks with lot's of Pink Panther sniffing / investigating to be done as well as special treat sausages from the Local Butchers with your permission of course. I have recently returned from Rwanda and Uganda where I had an amazing experience trekking in the National Forest Park to see the mighty Silverback Gorilla and his family. I have also travelled to Borneo where I volunteered at an Orangutan Sanctuary ( Jungle School - on Netflix ) and have also volunteered with the SSPCA in the past too. It would be an absolute pleasure to look after your furry family member and would be awesome to be their honorary Auntie and included in their pack. I currently work from home Monday and Friday from 8.30 to 3.30 and in the office on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8.30 to 4.30. I am therefore able to look after your Fur babies for long weekends Fri to Mon easily fitting in with their own specific schedules. I am hoping to be able to make this a full time job in the future, as it would be a dream come true to be able to care for your pets and be paid to do so?! In an ideal world I would have won the lottery and I would pay you for the privilege of your babies company. I have a private fenced garden that allows security and safety for your pet to be able to go out for fresh air throughout the day in between the bigger walks - minimum of an hour of sniffing if allowed. Your pet will be allowed up on the couch and bed with fluffy blankets for comfort if allowed only, as I would not allow if not the norm for pet. All their requirements will be adhered and catered for, so as not to disrupt their usual routine.

“Chloe was great with Axel, she has experience with large breed dogs and his size and cheeky behaviour did not put her off. Chloe came for a meet beforehand and is a confident, happy young lady. Chloe arrived on time as arranged and could not fault her. Axel had a great time in her company.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. I now have my own dog and she’s 13, she lives with my mum but comes to stay regularly with me. I’m available for dog boarding on Friday and Saturday nights! I work 9-5 Monday-Friday so won’t be available until 6pm on a Friday! I have a fenced garden where your dog can go exploring round my house. I have my family dog some days but she wont be around when I’m looking after your dog if you don’t want that.

About: Over the years I have had 6 cats, 2 dogs, hamsters, parrots and fish so I have always had a love for animals! I have plenty of experience in caring for them and know what they need. I have had pets who have had ongoing medical needs including regular medicine. I’m the go-to contact for friends and family when they need someone to pet-sit! My partner, Huzaifah, will be helping take care of your pet. He’s an animal lover and has looked after cats, dogs, ferrets, fish, and iguana and a tortoise. I work part time and my partner, who also adores animals, works full time from home so your pet will always have company! We don’t work weekends or bank holidays. We currently have 2 gerbils in a cage in our spacious upper cottage flat with an unfenced garden. The gerbils are elevated so there shouldn’t be any issues, they love the company of other animals!

About: I’ve grown up with lots of cats and dogs throughout my life. Ranging from rescue animals to crufts contestants and a range of dog sizes. My parents come from a dog training background so I have knowledge that aids with puppy training. I’m a Musical theatre performer but when I I’m in between acting jobs, I live in Glasgow and work in restaurant in the west end. This means that I can be pretty flexible with your needs and your pets! I currently won’t be able to house your pets but hoping my circumstances will change in the future as I’d love to add that to my service.

About: Fun Energetic Friend to give to your dogs! I am willing to travel, willing to dog walk, do what is needed to make sure your animal is kept safe at all times while having the best time! I work in a primary school between 8:30-3:30pm I am willing to offer dog walks at 6am if needed I am willing to walk all hours after 4pm when needed. I cannot complete Tuesdays or Thursdays If your dog is needed on extra safety I will do what I can to make sure you are happy with knowing your fur baby is in safe hands!

About: I have been looking after and walking dogs since the age of 12, my family members and friends often rely on me to take their dogs on toilet breaks and walks allowing them to get exercises when the owner is unable to do so. For the past three years I have been dog sitting in owners homes while they are on holiday to ensure as little disruption to the pet as possible. I’m currently working part time, just three nights a week, so I’ll have plenty of free time to play, walk and engage with your puppy I will care for your fur baby, by stepping into their routine with as little disruption as possible. This will be done by getting clear instructions, knowing emergency contacts, pets will feel comfortable in their own home surrounded by comforting items.

About: I have had cats from a young age and currently have 2 pedigree house cats. I have been per sitting for several years on Catinaflat and I have looked after dogs of others for many years. I work as a special needs teacher in Renfrewshire Monday to Thursday. I sometimes have tournaments on Saturdays August to April but these are normally local. I am not able to take any dogs or cats into my home as I already have 2 indoor cats. I would come to your home for food visits or walks or both. I can do overnight stays too where I would do a feed before and after bedtime (plus an evening and morning walk for dogs).
