“Laurie had a lovely time with Elizabeth. Her communication was great throughout Laurie’s stay and she sent me lots of updates and pictures of her settling in and out for walks. Elizabeth was very accommodating when I asked for some changes to the drop off and pickup times. She had a lovely stay and I would 100% use Elizabeth for dog sitting again :)”
“Very happy that we chose Margaret to look after Mouse. She was great with him, sent updated messages and photos. We would definitely recommend and will use Margaret again in the future 👍”
“Pablo absolutely loved it with Anna 🫶 he was so excited to be there and they played with him so much and snuggled with him too. Considering he’s such a shy dog to get to snuggles in just 1 day is a big deal!! Thanks so much to both of them!”
“Amazing! Jennifer was great at communicating from start to finish, which made everything really easy and reassuring. I felt completely comfortable leaving Beau overnight, and he was safe, well looked after and happy to gets lots of cuddles. I'd definitely book again and highly recommend Jennifer!”
““Toffee had the best time with Eve!” Eve took wonderful care of Toffee for the past two weeks. From the very first meeting she was warm and welcoming, and she kept me updated with lovely photos every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Toffee came home happy and relaxed. It’s easy to see that Eve genuinely enjoys looking after dogs and treats them like her own. I highly recommend Eve —thank you for giving Toffee such a happy holiday!”
“Thank you Jessica for looking after Isotta! She’s obviously having is absolutely shattered and I think has very much enjoyed all the walks and attention ☺️ doesn’t even seem all that thrilled to be home 😔”
“Great family, thank you! 🥰 I was constantly receiving videos and photos. 🥰 My doggy is very timid, but it was clear that he was feeling very comfortable. 🥰 Everything was perfect. 🥰 If we come to visit again, I will definitely look for them. 🥰 Wishing you all the best! 🥰”
“Feng was great with Norman, he was very kind and gentle with him! And his own dog and three cats were lovely. It was clear that Feng and his wife are pet lovers, and I was kept up to date the entire duration of Norman’s stay! Thank you again Feng!!”
“I'm beyond grateful for the exceptional care you provide to my beloved Charlie! 🐾❤️ Your dedication and love for him shine through in every visit, and it's a huge relief to know he's in such capable and caring hands. Charlie adores you and feels completely at home in your company and at your house – his happy wags and relaxed demeanor say it all! 🙏 Thank you for being such a trusted and wonderful dog walker, Kirsty. You're a gem, and I appreciate you more than words can say. 🌟”
“This is the second time Dotty has been with Siyi - this time she stayed overnight, and she obviously had a ball. She loved mixing with other dogs and making friends and socialising. She came back the next day happy but exhausted - in a good way.”
“My cocker spaniel stayed with Ricardo overnight and had a great time. Excellent communication from Ricardo. He kept me informed on how Brodie was getting on and sent photos from his stay and the walks he went on. Will definitely be using Ricardo again.”
“Once again, Samuel is great! we left our Sydney for 15 days this time so I was a little bit worried as she is an old dog, but I knew that she was in great hands with Samuel. I have received pictures and videos every day that put my mind on ease. I am sure Sydney enjoyed her stay and loved to be with Phoebe as well ❤️”
“First time my dog stayed with Giulia and her family. They did an amazing job looking after Hugo, who is a little anxious. Communication was good from the start and I had regular updates with photos. I would highly recommend.”
“Nicole was absolutely welcoming and adorable with Frida. You can feel how much she loves dogs! We first met her in the parks and she knew how to approach Frida from the start. Then we walked together to her home, which was very reassuring for us. Frida's a rescued dog and she knew how to deal with her from the beginning: with patience and love. She sent us lots of photos and a daily update every day. She was also very kind to us and gave us tips about the city. We definitely recommend Nicole. Frida is going to miss her couch and all her cuddles so much!”
“It was our first time leaving Fia who was a rescue dog she came happy and even lost a bit of weight well done. She was well walked and we where send up to date photos which put your mind a ease. We will use Maria again with no doubt. She does what she says home from home. Thank you”
About: Have looked after dogs of my family and for others since I was a teenager and enjoy nothing more! Experience training and looking after younger dogs, like my sisters Border Collie, as well as caring for senior dogs like my parents 13 year old Lakeland Terrier Rory - as well as others I have dog sat along the way! I work from home Monday to Thursday as a designer with flexible working hours, I’d love to have a wfh buddy! I’m available all day on Fridays but prefer boarding from 2pm and can be more flexible on weekends. I don’t have any pets, so yours will have my undivided attention! I live in a first floor flat so can be out in the fenced garden in under a minute for toilet breaks, and there are lots of lovely parks nearby for walks. There is space for a crate in my flat if that is what you would prefer, and also a comfy sofa for naps during the day! I like to keep my space clean and tidy, and keep that the same in others homes. Having ran an AirBnB in the past, and 6 years of babysitting, I understand the trust needed to look after someone’s home and respect that.
“Dr Nicole has taken amazing care of our dogs for a long stay. She gives so much love, care and enrichment to them it's amazing. The photos every day were a highlight of my days while I was away. She grooms them and walks them and gives them so many snuggles. Truly the best sitter we've ever had.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs. I got my first dog when I was 11 years old and was actively involved in their daily care, including walks, feeding, playtime, training, and companionship. I currently have a 10-month-old puppy, so I'm very familiar with the energy, patience, and consistency that young dogs need. I also have experience pet sitting for friends, including overnight stays, daily walks, feeding routines, and providing plenty of attention while owners are away. I live in the city centre of Edinburgh, near the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links, making me a great option for both local owners and visitors. Whether you're heading away on holiday, exploring the city for the day, attending an event, or simply need some time for yourself, I'd be happy to care for your dog and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. I specialise in puppies and small to medium-sized dogs and have experience caring for dogs with a variety of personalities, from shy and nervous dogs who need a calm approach to energetic pups who love plenty of exercise and play. I always aim to follow each owner's routine, preferences, and training methods as closely as possible to help dogs feel comfortable and secure while in my care. I'm comfortable administering basic medications when required and can adapt to your dog's individual needs. I know the local area well and have access to plenty of great walking routes and parks, providing lots of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and fun. My home is a safe, puppy-proofed environment where your pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I also understand how important it is for owners to stay connected while they're away, so I'm happy to provide regular photo and video updates for complete peace of mind. As I currently have full availability, I can be flexible with bookings and accommodate a wide range of schedules. My goal is to provide every dog with a home-away-from-home experience and care for them as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As I'm currently taking a break from work, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care. My own 10-month-old puppy already keeps me active with regular walks, playtime, training, and enrichment activities throughout the day. This flexibility allows me to adapt to each dog's individual needs, whether that's multiple walks, maintaining a specific routine, providing companionship throughout the day, or accommodating early drop-offs and later pick-ups. I enjoy spending time with dogs and can ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care rather than being left alone for long periods. When caring for pets in my home, I aim to make them feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. I provide a safe, dog-friendly environment where they can settle in, play, rest, and receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medication needs, house rules, and any training routines already in place. I understand that every dog is different, so I adapt my approach to suit their personality and needs, whether they're energetic and playful or prefer a calmer environment. Dogs in my care receive regular walks, playtime, mental stimulation, and lots of companionship. As I am home most of the time, they won't be left alone for extended periods and can enjoy consistent supervision and interaction. I also provide regular photo and video updates so owners can see how their pet is getting on and have peace of mind while they're away. My goal is to give every dog a safe, happy, home-away-from-home experience and care for them as if they were my own.

About: Hi! I’m a loyal and patient pet lover based in Edinburgh. Working mostly from home for the university gives me a highly flexible schedule, allowing me to provide the quiet, dedicated companionship and attentive care that senior pets, especially older cats, thrive on. My experience & special skills: I have a deep soft spot for older cats who need a calm environment, gentle routine, extra patience, and tailored attention as they age. I am experienced with medical conditions (such as epilepsy) and comfortable administering precise, time-sensitive medications and supplements to keep your senior pets safe and comfortable. I’ve traveled across Scotland and beyond, including Inverness, Perth, Heritage, and the Isle of Man,providing care for both weekend trips and prolonged holidays. Fully comfortable managing 1 to 3 pets at a time, keeping cats happy, relaxed, and well cared for while you're away. (on a picture i’m with my family cat Gucci)
“Sarah was an amazing pet sitter! She took care of our cat Kevin with so much love and attention. We could tell he felt safe and happy in her care. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We’re truly grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to ask for her help again! Thank you so much Sarah! :)”
“It's evident how much Kirsten loves cats as soon as you meet her, she was able to name all the cats in my area - so it was easy to trust her on my first catinaflat experience. Made a big effort with my extremely shy cat Angel and kept in touch with updates even when he wasn't keen to come out and play. Thanks again 👍⭐️”
“Freya has looked after our cat Juno several times, and she always does an excellent job. She keeps us up to date with how Juno is doing, and Juno seemed very happy when we got home.”

“Bronagh and Kathryn were absolutely amazing with my kitty while we were away visiting family. I felt so secure knowing she was safe with them, and they sent regular updates and lots of photos to keep us in the loop!”
“Very happy with Daria looking after my cat, Missy. Missy seemed to be very comfortable with Daria and enjoyed her company. Daria kept my home very tidy and kept me updated whilst I was on holiday with loads of pictures and information about how Missy is keeping. (Which I loved!). I would recommend Daria highly and going to book in again with her for a couple months time! Thank you❣️ 🐱”
“Laura is a professional that we will trust again and again! We had used a cattery before and our cat, Simon, got so ill and starved for 4 days! We were so worried about going on trips-- Now, Laura is our solution! We came home to a a happy boy and a tidy home! She kept us informed from beginning to end and was so kind. Thank you so much! ”
“Georgina was super professional and fantastic with our cats. We received an update with great, high quality photos and videos every time she visited and she made sure to check that we had arrived home. We would 100% recommend Georgina!”
“Amie was has quickly become a trusted pair of hands for our cat Rio. She is warm and attentive, and sent us very detailed and helpful updates on him when she dropped in for visits. Our cat was relaxed and content when we returned, and our place was just as we had left it. We can't wait to have help from Amie again! She's great.”
“Thank you so much to Lea for taking the best care of my cat Rafa. Lea was super responsive, sent tons of daily updates, and she was very patient with Rafa during the first couple of days when he was a bit shy. Thank you so much!”
About: I am Giulia, I live with my partner and our corgi Mortimer in a flat in the heart of Edinburgh. We are close to The Meadow (if your buddies love to meet new friends), Holyrood Park (if they prefer a more peaceful and calm park) and to a small park just behind the flat, perfect for a wee walk. Mortimer is very friendly and always happy to spend time with new dog friends :) I have always had huge love for animals and especially dogs. Since I was younger I volunteered at my local shelter back in Italy, taking care of dogs and walk them. This experience has been very important to me, I had the chance to learn how to approach many dogs with different personalities, and also with no-longer-puppies with trust issues. It has been years since we started dog boarding and walking and it has been a great experience. We will do our best to provide a loving home for your furry best friends while you are away! We want to keep your dog's routine as much stable as we can, providing as much cuddles, exercise and play as he/she needs! :) I can't wait to know your furry fellas! I work full time but I have a flexible schedule and can work remotely if needed. I usually give my dog a long walk/play in the morning and after work, and a shorter one at lunch and before going to bed. My flat is close to The Meadow (if your buddies love to meet new friends), Holyrood Park (if they prefer a more peaceful and calm park) and to a small park just behind the flat, perfect for a wee walk.
“James did a wonderful job of looking after our cat! She is quite shy but warmed up to him quickly. He sent daily check ins and she was very in a very good mood when we came home. It was a long sit (2 weeks) and would recommend James to anyone looking for a sitter! Thank you!!”
“Aimee looked after our cat Noah over Christmas very well. She responded quickly to communication and was really helpful. Would recommend her and will look to book her again sometime”
“Charlotte was great with Olive! Olive went on really long walks which was super helpful as she is a very high energy puppy, Charlotte was on time, communicated well and very willing to accomodate olive and her needs :)”
“Amazing! We went on a week holiday in Italy for our wedding and we were actually able to be present and enjoy the time because Eirini was so amazing. She followed all our directions and schedules, our cat Cricket LOVED her. She sent tons of photos and videos and updates which was so reassuring. We never had to ask how things were going, she kept us updated! She also kept our house clean and just the way we left it. I would recommend you reach out to Eirini if you're looking for peace of mind and someone your pets will love. We will definitely be booking her again! ❤️❤️”

“Stephanie is so lovely with Lumi when I needed day care a few times! Stephanie is easy to communicate with and Lumi clearly had the best time. She came home happy and tired in the best ways. I'll definitely keep booking with Stephanie.”
“Eirini was incredible!!! Hachi absolutely loved her which is unusual for him. He takes time to warm to someone. Will definitely recommend Eirini to look after your precious one!”
“Ziggy had a great day with Alice! He had two long walks and had another dog to play with all day. Alice was very friendly and looked after Ziggy brilliantly, and sent us plenty of updates, pictures and videos. Would very much recommend Alice to other dog owners in the Edinburgh area!”
“Our dog is a rescue so has a bit of separation anxiety. Nicole was great with him and patient as he got to know her. We are really grateful to her for the time and effort! We have no hesitation in booking Nicole again!”
“Really happy to have found Isabel. She couldn’t have been more friendly or accommodating and Sherlock took to her immediately. We met beforehand to make sure everybody was comfortable, which is always helpful and makes the handover process easier. And when my train was delayed, meaning I was going to be late to pick up, Isabel was kind enough to agree to alternative arrangements. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Isabel.”
“Leanne is a star. She took such good care of my wee dog and shared photos throughout the day. She is relaxed and friendly, and formed an immediate rapport with my dog. I would highly recommend her.”
“Lorenzo has become a trusted sitter for us. He is reliable, caring and is always happy to have our pup around. He's very good with Buddy and Buddy is always happy to be there.”

I regularly do dog walks around new town area including water of Leith walks. I will keep dogs on the leads at all times during walks. I am willing to accept all dog breeds, however I will not accept dogs which are XL in size. I am comfortable with walking dogs which are large sized to small.

“Katherine is lovely. Our dog is very happy to spend time with her. He starts wagging his tail when he sees her. I know he is very well taken care of so I don’t worry when I am away. Katherine is very quick to respond to any questions I have and helpful with my bookings. I would highly recommend her.”
“Jasmine was fantastic! I left my energentic spaniel with her for the day, and picked up a very happy (and very tired) pup in the evening. Jasmine had clearly done a great job, seeing as my dog kept protesting on the walk home, wanting me to turn around and go back 😂”
“Kathryn was absolutely wonderful. She was kind enough to meet us before our first dog sitting experience so she could get to know our pup. She was responsive and so gentle with his dog anxiety. We are looking forward to using her again!”
“Jennifer and her daughter were the perfect hosts for Crumble. They were lovely with Crumble, attentive and caring, just what an older dog needed. Crumble was relaxed and happy, obviously made to feel right at home. Thank you”
About: Hello, my name is Claire and I’ve cared for animals my whole life. Capable of looking after dogs, cats and other animals. As a child I was taught how to best provide care for our pets, cats and dogs. I would take responsibility for both and loved doing so. I’ve been consistently pet sitting for the last 3 years. I can work with young animals with lots of energy as well as older pets. I can administer medication and help with any additional needs. I have a 5 star rating on the Cat in a Flat app. I’m joining Rover as I would like to help care for dogs as well as cats. I have been a dog walker for neighbours over the last 5 years. I’ve just relocated to the Abbey Hill in Edinburgh and would love to build up a regular client base. I am out and about at Holyrood Park most days. All the best to you and your furry friends! Claire xx I work from home and I am self employed. My hours are flexible and can suit whatever you need. I’m open to overnights and can attend on short notice. I am very respectful and I like to give time for animals to get to know me, to see that they can trust me. Once your pet is at ease and happy with me I can offer as much love as they like. I also take care in the homes of others to ensure that things are left as I found them. I am clean and careful.
“Lisa and Chris took great care of Dimma & she clearly had a lovely time with them! They took the time to meet up beforehand so that Dimma could be familiar with them, and communication was really good throughout. Won't hesitate to leave Dimma with them again!”

About: I have cared for dogs previously including dog sitting while owners go on holiday. I can deal with all things from cuddles to picking up the goods! I am a chartered accountant who works in a home based role therefore I can be flexible to suit your dogs needs throughout the day I will care for your animal as if it were my own. I pride myself on being a very organised and trustworthy person demonstrated by owners leaving their pets with me during their holidays.
About: I'm a recent expat to Edinburgh with lots of time and love to give! I've been a petsitter and housesitter for the past 8 years, looking after the most precious furbabies, homes and plants. I have experience working at the RSPCA, caring for cats who are in recovery from cat flu, desex, amputation, ringworm or orphaned kittens. I grew up with a beautiful black and white rescue kitten, Nellie - as my closest sibling. We spent 18 years together and I still miss her every day. I treat your pet as if they are my own, making them feel safe and loved in every way. I've recently moved to Edinburgh and I'm taking some time to settle in. I don't have a strict work schedule so I can work around yours. I ensure a loving, safe and supportive environment for your pet. They will have all of the food, bedding, enrichment and social time exactly as you prefer. Your pet and home will be cared for as my own, and I provide photo updates for you to connect while you're away.
About: Grew up around animals and love spending time with dogs. Can’t currently get my own but I can happily look after others’. Familiar with some training methods. Looking to fill my days off with long walks and wagging tails. Depending on my shifts can also offer either morning or evening wee walks and potentially boarding. In general love both spending time in nature and at home. Depending on the pet and their needs, I could potentially board or home sit. Just some quality time, with plenty of physical (walks) or mental (toys/command training) stimulation to keep them happy.
“I was initially skeptical about leaving Buster with someone I didn’t know, given his hyper personality. However, after returning from my trip, I found a much calmer dog. Bilquees did an outstanding job not only walking him but also caring for him. Her understanding of hyperactive and reactive dogs is impressive, and her nurturing nature was class!”
About: My family have had dogs my entire life, all of which have been such special characters! My last dog was particularly special, having had her for 15+ years. Miss having the opportunity to look after her whenever I wish! I'd regularly look after her when my parents went away. Often I'd keep her for months at my flat as we both loved each others company. I'm very active and love going for walks so if you're dog is particularly energetic, we'll just have to go for a long walk, won't we! I'm currently a student so I'm available from Friday (12:30/13:00) right through the weekend to look after your dog(s). My partner (who I live with) loves dogs too and works from home during the week in case you need a little more flexibility around pick-up/drop-off timings; he's always happy to help out! Our flat does not have a garden and is two floors up. It's a spacious flat however and I'd take them out for walks regularly, depending on their needs. If your dog struggles with stairs and is not too large, I can pick them up as I used to do with my old dog who was a collie spaniel cross.
“Aine is fantastic, warm and friendly. After a soggy first meet, Reya and Aine have had a couple of walks and hung out together the last couple of Sundays. Aine is now on Reya’s favourite list for best belly rubs! Would highly recommend Aine and hope to book her again soon.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. I had a cat from a young age, and my grandparents lived next door with dogs, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. With flexible working hours, I can easily fit around your pet’s routine — whether that’s long walks (which I genuinely love), playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I’d love to have a dog or cat of my own, but as I travel fairly often, pet sitting is the perfect balance. I’ve provided in-home care for both dogs and cats, including caring for my friends’ pets. I always make sure every pet feels safe, relaxed and loved, whether they prefer quiet companionship or lots of affection 🐾🍂 I work from home Monday to Friday, which allows me to easily adjust my schedule to suit your pet’s needs — whether that’s a midday walk, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I enjoy longer walks in the evenings and at weekends. With a flexible routine, I can make sure your pet always receives the care, attention, and companionship they need. My day usually starts with a coffee and a walk to Meadows Park, just next to my flat. I often head out for a shorter midday stroll, and after work I enjoy a longer walk to unwind. Throughout the day, there’s always time for play, cuddles, and keeping your pet company. I’m more than happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, even if it’s different from mine. I have plenty of experience with ball throwing, wand toys, and finding the right balance between play and rest to keep pets happy and relaxed.
About: Hi, I’m MayMay! I speak English 🇬🇧, Cantonese 🇭🇰, Mandarin 🇨🇳🇹🇼, & a bit of Korean 🇰🇷. I’m currently pet-sitting to support my goal of raising £12,000 for gem & diamond school, so every booking helps me chase my dream while giving your pet loving care! I’m originally from Hong Kong and grew up surrounded by dogs 😆. I’ve been living with them since I was 2, and back home I have a much-loved Shih Tzu, Cookie, who taught me so much about patience, routines, and understanding each animal’s personality. I moved to the UK for my studies and, 1.5 years ago, followed my childhood dream by immigrating here. I’m now based in Edinburgh long-term, so you can count on reliable, consistent, and caring support for your pet. I make sure to follow your pet’s routine, give attention and playtime suited to their personality, and send updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy and safe. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family and give you peace of mind while you’re away, send me a message now 🐾 I currently work part-time in retail (8 hours a week)😇, so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or daytime visits 🐾💕 I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and any instructions you leave, from feeding and walks to medication and home care. You’ll receive updates when I arrive and before I leave, along with photos and a summary of how the visit went, so you always know how your pet is doing 🥰
About: I’ve taken care of friends and family dogs and cats previously and have helped raise and train my flat mates puppy. I work from home Tuesdays and Fridays so can be flexible (including weekends). I have a small ground floor flat but able to provide toilet breaks as much as needed and walks before and after work and at lunch time if needed! I currently work full time - Tuesdays and Fridays from home. 9-5 Monday to Friday and will be available on some weekends too! When I work from home i am able to provide toilet breaks whenever needed and time outside/ walks before and after work and also on my lunch hour! Can be flexible - I sometimes dog sit for friends when they are in the office. I have a secure ground floor flat next to a safe walk way. I am also next to a lot of green space and there are many routes away from main roads.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention our dog received! Feng was incredibly communicative throughout—always keeping me updated with how the walk went and Roxy's progress. What really stood out was how well he understood my dog’s specific needs, especially the need for short, easy walks due to her health condition and medication she was taking. It’s clear he genuinely cares and takes the time to tailor his approach to each dog. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable dog walker!”
“Leanne was an absolute dream! This was our first experience of Rover and I feel like we hit the jackpot. She took care of our dog as if he was her own. Amazing communication and photos throughout our booking. I felt so comfortable and relaxed all week. Thank you so much!!”
“Joanie helped us during our wedding ceremony. We couldn’t take Coco with us, unfortunately, so Joanie had a good walk with her during that time and brought her to wedding reception. Couldn’t be happier. Thank you!”
“Hamish took Goose for a great walk, he was communicative and easy to work with. He obviously knows and loves dogs and I totally trust him to take care of Goose and entertain him on his walk.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and genuinely love having them around. My family have had a Labrador, a Vizsla and now a German Pointer, so I’m very comfortable with larger, energetic breeds. Although I no longer live at home, I still regularly help care for family and friends’ dogs. I currently look after a Cocker Spaniel two to three times a week and he often stays overnight with me. I’ve also had my family’s German Pointer stay at my flat when they visit Edinburgh, looked after a friend’s German Pointer many times, and cared for a friend’s Jack Russell on several occasions. I’m reliable, calm and happy to follow each dog’s usual routine so they feel settled and relaxed while you’re away. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I can give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m available for dog boarding in my home, drop-in visits, and walks, and I’m happy to work around your dog’s usual routine to help them feel settled, comfortable and cared for. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I live in a clean, dog-friendly flat where they’ll receive lots of love, attention and regular walks. I’ll always follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, medication (if needed), exercise and any house rules you have. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is in safe hands. For drop-in visits, I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own.
About: I have had pets since I was young of all kind. I had 3 dogs which I would walk and feed and I had guinea pigs and rabbits which I would take care off and clean up after, and I just love being around all sorts of animals. I am a student so I would have to work around a schedule in the day but I am free every evening to look after pets since I don’t work part time anymore I keep my flat very secure. I live right next to Holyrood park so I have a great place to go on lots of nice long walks and I also have insurance.
“I always feel my dog is in great hands with Rebecca! I'm requested walks from Rebecca multiple times and each time she leaves very detailed notes and takes lots of great pictures. Will definitely continue to keep working with her!”

“Pablo absolutely loved it with Anna 🫶 he was so excited to be there and they played with him so much and snuggled with him too. Considering he’s such a shy dog to get to snuggles in just 1 day is a big deal!! Thanks so much to both of them!”
“Amazing! Jennifer was great at communicating from start to finish, which made everything really easy and reassuring. I felt completely comfortable leaving Beau overnight, and he was safe, well looked after and happy to gets lots of cuddles. I'd definitely book again and highly recommend Jennifer!”
““Toffee had the best time with Eve!” Eve took wonderful care of Toffee for the past two weeks. From the very first meeting she was warm and welcoming, and she kept me updated with lovely photos every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Toffee came home happy and relaxed. It’s easy to see that Eve genuinely enjoys looking after dogs and treats them like her own. I highly recommend Eve —thank you for giving Toffee such a happy holiday!”
“Great family, thank you! 🥰 I was constantly receiving videos and photos. 🥰 My doggy is very timid, but it was clear that he was feeling very comfortable. 🥰 Everything was perfect. 🥰 If we come to visit again, I will definitely look for them. 🥰 Wishing you all the best! 🥰”
“My cocker spaniel stayed with Ricardo overnight and had a great time. Excellent communication from Ricardo. He kept me informed on how Brodie was getting on and sent photos from his stay and the walks he went on. Will definitely be using Ricardo again.”
“Once again, Samuel is great! we left our Sydney for 15 days this time so I was a little bit worried as she is an old dog, but I knew that she was in great hands with Samuel. I have received pictures and videos every day that put my mind on ease. I am sure Sydney enjoyed her stay and loved to be with Phoebe as well ❤️”
“Nicole was absolutely welcoming and adorable with Frida. You can feel how much she loves dogs! We first met her in the parks and she knew how to approach Frida from the start. Then we walked together to her home, which was very reassuring for us. Frida's a rescued dog and she knew how to deal with her from the beginning: with patience and love. She sent us lots of photos and a daily update every day. She was also very kind to us and gave us tips about the city. We definitely recommend Nicole. Frida is going to miss her couch and all her cuddles so much!”
“It was our first time leaving Fia who was a rescue dog she came happy and even lost a bit of weight well done. She was well walked and we where send up to date photos which put your mind a ease. We will use Maria again with no doubt. She does what she says home from home. Thank you”
“Dr Nicole has taken amazing care of our dogs for a long stay. She gives so much love, care and enrichment to them it's amazing. The photos every day were a highlight of my days while I was away. She grooms them and walks them and gives them so many snuggles. Truly the best sitter we've ever had.”
“Vaida was amazing! I have a very shy rescue and she so patient and understanding, both with him and me, (being anxious to leave him with someone new). I have picked up a happy and relaxed pup, will definitely book Vaida again”
“This is not the first time CocoPops has been on her holidays with Kamal, but it is the longest so I was a bit worried about leaving her. Of course I needn’t have as she was so happy and relaxed. She’s not a sociable dog, but Kamal introduced her to Jimmy, a calm and placid dog. They ended up making friends - this is a huge step for Coco’s confidence all thanks to Kamal. I can highly recommend Kamal to look after your dog, he gives you such peace of mind.”
“We can’t thank Matilda (and her partner!) enough for being so fantastic with our little dachshund puppy Maple. She stayed with Matilda for a week whilst we were away and barely wanted to leave! She’s been very spoiled and Matilda and her partner were thoughtful and caring. We really appreciated their communication and regular updates. We’d absolutely book with Matilda again for daycare or boarding, thank you so much!”
“Jessica was wonderful with our nervous and slightly frail older dog. She made her very comfortable and kept us updated throughout our trip. She was also very patient and accomodating when we needed to change our pick up time, which we so appreciated. We'd leave our dog with Jessica again without any hesitation. Thank you!”
“I can’t recommend Isabelle enough. She is so caring and thorough in getting to know all about the dogs she is going to be looking after. She kept us updated with gorgeous videos and photos throughout the weekend and it was clear that both of our dogs were being well loved and cared for. Would 100% use her again. Huge thanks again Isabelle.”
“Clara was patient and excellent at settling Bailey. Bailey enjoyed her stay and walks. Clara was great at reassuring me and sent lots of photos. Would use readily again.”
“A great sitter that offered lots of reassurance before Dan stayed, plenty of pics during the stay and a great recap upon collection. Dawid obviously loves dogs and was very attentive to Dan's needs. A lovely bloke too!”
