Excellent. Max had a lovely time with Kenny who sent plenty of feedback and photos. The dogs all got on well together and had plenty of exercise and socialising. Kenny's communication was always prompt and helpful.

From the first time of meeting Loraine and Mick we knew Truffle would be safe and very well looked after. They are obviously dog lovers. When we dropped him off he went in very happily and upon collection he had obviously been happy staying there with his routine followed. Thank you Loraine and if you’ll have him back we would definitely use you again.

Sharon looked after our dog Gus for a long weekend, we couldn’t recommend Sharon higher! We do a meet and greet the night before to meet them all. She instantly put us at ease and we felt so comfortable leaving Gus. She kept us updated throughout his stay, sent us lots of pictures and generally just delivered 5star care. We would absolutely use her again, she was utterly fantastic and Gus throughly enjoyed his trip

About: I’m an animal care assistant looking to spend more times with animals outside of work. I have looked after all of my own pets for many years. I’m currently working full time but I am able to pop in and out of houses while house sitting throughout the day to keep your pet happy and spend as much time after work with them. I will use all the amendments available to me to make sure your pet is well looked after and feels safe and loved while you’re away.

About: Welcome! Experienced Dog Lover in Beautiful Inverness After 15½ wonderful years with our beloved Lhasa Apso, Milly, I now have the time and heart space to welcome a new furry friend into our home. Your dog will receive the same love, attention, and care that made Milly’s life so special. What I Offer: I’m home-based in Inverness, surrounded by beautiful woodlands perfect for adventures and just a short distance from the beach. Whether your pup loves long forest walks or gentle beach strolls, they’ll get plenty of exercise and fresh air. Your Dog, Our Family: From the moment your dog arrives, they’ll be treated as part of our family, not just a guest. I understand how important your pet is to you, and I’m committed to providing a safe, loving environment where they can thrive. I’m happy to send daily updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. A Lifelong Animal Lover: I grew up surrounded by pets (goldfish, hamsters, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs) and have cared for both cats and dogs throughout my adult life. I know what it takes to make animals feel comfortable, secure, and loved. I work part-time my schedule allows for me to have time to ensure dogs are exercised regularly throughout the day I can spend quality time with the dogs in my care. I have a fenced off garden to the rear of my house and a large field and woodland walks on my doorstep to ensure dogs are exercised regularly throughout the day.

About: I have always loved dogs and had family dogs growing up. I have looked after and taken care of plenty of friends’ and family’s dogs to help out while they’ve been away since then! I work full time but do some work from home so can hopefully fit this around stays to be there for company. I have plenty of time for walks before and after work. I’m also often around at the weekends and love a good dog walk. I have a fenced garden so your dogs can spend time outside. I also live close to plenty of green space which is great for dog walks.

About: I have taken care of my own animals and those of friends and family for 10+ years. I have had my own dog, cats, guinea pigs and hamsters, and have taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes. I currently have two confident and dog-friendly cats. I have experience looking after animals with additional health or care needs, including elbow dysplasia, megaesophagus feeding requirements and giving routine medications. I currently work flexibly from home or in my office, depending on my work and personal schedule. I am able to be flexible, but usually work 9-6 with a lunch break for walks with furry friends. I have a fenced and good sized garden and pets have free roam of the house. Our cats come and go through their cat flap and are confident and friendly with dogs after a couple of meetings. For having dogs at my home, I’d like to understand their relationship and behaviour towards cats. In a pet owners home I would take instructions from the owner on how to care for their animals. I would treat their animals and home with respect and care, and would look to meet prior to be shown the home/where things are kept.

About: Laura and I have had dogs all our lives. We routinely dog sit for friends and family. We understand how challenging it can be to have a reliable carer for your dog that you can trust, allowing you to make the most of your time away. Having 3 dogs of varying ages (Axl (15), Chess (12) and Louie (4)), we know how important it is to be flexible in catering to your dog's specific requirements, whether that be medications, toilet routine, exercise or training. Although Chris doesn't hold formal qualification, he is something of a dog whisperer and can use some of the time with your dog to work on specific aspects of obedience with prior agreement. Our baby, TJ, was a 2025 addition to the family and has grown up around our dogs. Naturally, we could not board dogs with a history of agression towards other pets or humans/children. Daily routine - awake 0700-0730, breakfast 0800, dinner 1700, taken outside at 1 - 2 hour intervals throughout the day, short walk around lunchtime, longer walk in the afternoon (dog dependent), bedtime around 2230. Laura and I are currently balancing parental leave and part-time WFH, so there will always be at least one of us at home, if we're not out on a walk. We have a huge (0.25 acre) enclosed grass garden, ideal for training off-lead walking and recall. We are lucky to have locally accessible fields suitable for both on and off lead walks, depending on recall. If your dog travels well, local beaches and forests make for exciting longer adventures.

About: I have had animals since I was a small child and started riding when I was 5. I have had cats most of my life and dogs since I was in my 20s. As well as having my own animal companions, I have been a keen horse riders most of my life and worked with horses/ponies over various times of my life. I have two lovely horses who I ride daily. My dream is to have a small croft where I can have a horse and lots of other animals: goats, sheep and hens. I have 4 collies (2 bitches/2 dogs) who I am bringing on and are well trained and excellent with other dogs. Two of my collies are sheepdogs and I train them regularly. They need a lot of mental and physical stimulation so I am out three times a day, either in the park playing football or further afield at the farm, beach, lochs woods or more rural areas to get plenty of uninterrupted doggo time. I am also experienced in breeding and have raised 3 litters of pups. I work from home Mon- Thùr and take my dogs out three times a day. Fridays and weekends are adventure/play time for longer walks, swimming or exploring new areas. I have a 6ft fenced garden with access to fields, walking tracks, woods. I transport my dogs in a Mitsubishi L200 that is kitted out with transport crates. We love beach time, outdoor swimming and collie-ball (football with collies). My dogs are my best friends and closest companions. I have a teenage son who assists with park and beach walks and shorter walks locally if they require 1:1 time. I work 4 days per week from home and have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are dedicated to family time and dog time with plenty of adventures 😀 we go on adventures daily and the dogs gets plenty of exercise at the farm where I keep my horse. I have an enclosed back garden and access to fenced fields for exercising the dogs. I am responsible and attuned to the needs of my animals. Health and safety comes first.

About: Hello, I’m Naomi, a 28-year-old Veterinary Nurse with a lifelong passion for animals. Choosing someone to care for your pet is a big decision, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. As a Veterinary Nurse, I have extensive experience caring for animals of all ages, breeds, temperaments, and medical needs. I share my life with a dog of my own, so I know that pets are family. Whether your pet loves long walks, gentle strolls, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll tailor their care to suit their individual personality and routine. My professional background means I’m confident administering medication, monitoring health and wellbeing, recognising signs of illness, and caring for senior pets or those with additional needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated as if they were my own—with plenty of love, attention, enrichment, and care. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing your best friend is in safe hands. I like to call the “pupdates”. I’d love to meet you and your pet and discuss how I can provide a happy, safe, and caring home-from-home experience while you’re away. 🐾 Feel free to get in touch—I look forward to meeting your furry family member! I work full-time as a Veterinary Nurse at a Veterinary practice in Inverness but I am available almost every weekend, and depending on my shift pattern, I can also provide evening care. I have a spacious, fenced garden, perfect for your pet to explore and play in. Our home is located in a rural area, providing a safe environment. We also have a Labrador with a wonderful temperament who has been raised with other dogs. He is crate trained and enjoys the freedom to move in and out of his crate as he pleases, making him a great companion for another dog.

Laura was a wonderful overnight carer for our greyhound. He clearly enjoyed his walk and was completely relaxed and happy in Laura’s home. Always an anxious experience when you leave your dog with a new carer but Laura was totally relaxed and and clearly very competent.

We had not used a dog boarding service before and were quite apprehensive about leaving our Cocker Spaniel, Keira, with a stranger for two weeks. However, after our initial visit to meet Kerry and her own pets we felt more at ease and happy that Keira would be able to settle down with her new friends and family. During our holiday Kerry responded to our messages promptly and kept us informed about Keira’s integration into her new surroundings. I would say that Keira was made very welcome and possibly even spoiled by Kerry and her family so, she would have felt very comfortable in her new “home”. I can highly recommend Kerry as a dog boarder and would have no hesitation in using her services again. Thank you so much for looking after our precious pup. William

I would highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. She came to meet my cat a couple of days before I went away, which gave me great peace of mind and allowed us to go through everything properly. Throughout my holiday, she was incredibly prompt, professional, and attentive. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which was so reassuring and showed how well my cat was being looked after. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my cat’s wellbeing and took the time to make sure she was happy and comfortable on her visits. I won’t hesitate to use her services again! Thank you!

About: As a family we adore dogs. We are previously had a cocker spaniel who lived a happy loved life and died of old age when our daughter was a baby. As our life over the past 8 years has been busy bringing up our 2 children now 8 and 5 we didnt think it was a right time to bring a dog into the family. We are now considering a dog but want to ensure its the right decision before making the huge commitment again. Our daughter who is 8, is a animal lover she has a pony which she shares with her granny and the love and kindness she she shows her pony is heartwarming. She is also very committed to animal welfare and caring for all animals pets and wildlife. She is very keen for a dog and would like the opportunity to prove herself. For her 8th birthday she asked for poo bags to practice picking up dog poo! Serious commitment picking up other people's dog poo!! She has had experience with other family members dogs and friends and neighbours dogs and is very sensible and aware of dog behaviours as has read and studied various dog books. We would obviously support observe and assist the children at all times. As a family we are very active we have a suitable garden for a dog and live very close to a rural walk that is suitable for on lead or off lead walks. We are also own a property on the west coast of Scotland which is almost on the beach pictured. We would be delighted to take a dog that we got to know over time for longer periods to our holiday home for holiday cover if required, it's a dog's paradise. We would mainly be able to welcome a dog during the weekends. As we would all be off without commitments the day would very much revolve around the dog and its needs. We would plan our day around walks and meal times for the dog and it will be with us at all times never being left alone. Completely fenced dog safe back garden. Dog completely supervised at all times in the garden and when with the children. The house will be dog safe and appropriate place for the dog to rest/sleep will be available. No doubt on the sofa in front of the fire if owners allow this!

This was Anya second time with Laura. The minute we got close to her house Anya was excitedly looking out of the window. She literally ran up to the house and was jumping up at the door waiting to spend time with Laura. Although excited to see me when I came back she definitely wanted to stay longer.

Bumble had a fantastic stay with Sharon, and it was great to see him enjoying a wee 'zoomie' session in the garden, with Sharon's dog, when we picked him up. After our initial meeting with Sharon, I was very confident that Bumble would be very well looked after, and it's obvious he was. i would have no hesitation in leaving Bumble with Sharon in future, and would happily recommend anyone looking for dog care, to consider Sharon. Many thanks.

I offer a peaceful, home-based setting where your pet will be treated like part of the family, with lots of attention, care and affection. I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine closely, including walks, feeding and any specific needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness are my priority, and I will always keep you updated so you feel at ease while you’re away. I work from home and have a flexible routine, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention and care throughout the day. I can adapt my schedule depending on your dog’s needs, whether that’s walks, playtime or rest. I’m available for daytime care, drop-in visits and walks during the week, as well as weekends. Your pet will not be left alone and will always be supervised in a calm home environment. I have a secure fenced garden where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, always under supervision. I also have access to lovely walking areas just behind my home, including a play area and nearby woodland, perfect for calm and enjoyable walks. Dogs are always kept on a lead during walks to ensure their safety. Inside the home, I provide a calm, clean and secure environment where pets are closely supervised and treated with care and attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, routine and any specific needs, and I make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe and well looked after at all times.

I used Chris and Laura's Doggy Day Care and Sitting service for the first time today, and they were absolutely brilliant. They kept me well informed about how Chewy was getting on throughout the day, spent lots of time walking him, and worked on his recall and off-lead training. It was clear that they genuinely care about the dogs in their care and put a lot of effort into helping them learn and have fun. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I will definitely be a returning customer. Thank you both for taking such great care of Chewy! Kylie

About: I have loved dogs since I was a child. I had a characterful fox terrier that required a lot of work. Patience and consistency made my dog ​​behave every day. Which made our bond even stronger. Currently, I do not have a dog due to trips to my family in Poland. However, I could help during your trip, and I promise that your pet will receive a lot of love, care and attention from me. I work full time. I have Sundays and Mondays off. I work in the mornings. So I have a lot of free time in the afternoon to take care of your pet. I have a cat at home who is very friendly to other cats and dogs. I don't have a garden, but there are forests very close that allow for safe walks

About: *Available for bookings Inverness and surrounding area for existing and new dogs* I have several years experience caring for dogs from bouncy puppies to wise seniors, I understand that every stage of life comes with its own needs. I’ve worked with shy rescues, energetic youngsters, and gentle older dogs who just want a slow stroll and extra snuggles. Whether it’s providing medication, practicing basic training, or just being a calm, friendly presence, I meet each dog where they are. Because I work from home, I can easily fit dog care into my daily routine — whether that means regular toilet breaks, playtime in the garden, or a relaxing cuddle on the sofa while I work. My flexible schedule allows me to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day, not just morning and evening. I also love hillwalking, so for dogs that enjoy longer, more adventurous walks, I’m always happy to explore scenic trails and give them the exercise and enrichment they deserve. I believe a good sitter is one you can trust and rely on, especially when looking after your dog for the first time. As a pet sitter I always ensure to respect the owners rules and boundaries. I believe communication is key towards a healthy relationship between the dog owner and sister, and will therefore ensure to respond promptly and keep in regular contact during your dogs booking.

We had such a good experience with our lovey walker. Her updates were amazing and pics and detail made leaving our pup home alone, much easier. Thank you for your great care

About: Hello, welcome to our page! 😄 Myself and my husband are dog mad, we’ve always had at least one dog for the past 13 years! We’ve got experience with large breeds and teeny breeds too. We had Sasha (an Alaskan Malamute) who we unfortunately lost very suddenly in June 2021 and Charlie (a chihuahua cross) who we lost last April. We now have an absolutely crazy Cocker Spaniel called Arlo who definitely keeps us busy! Arlo loves going for long walks and my husband, Gary takes him for about 6 miles. Gary will be doing this with me and helping with all your pooches needs. We also have a 5 (nearly 6 as she keeps reminding me! 🙄) daughter who just loves dogs. She has been pestering us to get another dog since we lost Charlie last year but due to work commitments etc. introducing another dog to our family full time just isn’t feasible at present. So that’s why we’ve decided to help you look after your beloved! Please note our child is very respectful to dogs and won’t be left unattended with any dog! We aim to have your dog feel like it’s part of the family while it’s staying with us! If you have any questions, please just get in touch! ☺️ Gary & Michelle We are available for pet boarding over the weekends! We can arrange for toilet visits during the week if local to us! Your dog will be well exercised! I have a fully fenced back garden. A very lovable and energetic cocker spaniel, who wants to be friends with everyone! Any dogs staying with us will need to be good with other dogs and kids… she is 6 going on 16!

Thank you, Chrissy for taking Ruby and giving her such a wonderful walk. It says a lot when your dog happily goes off with you - I think dogs are such a good judge of people! Thank you so much again. Amazing service and contact 🤩

Sharon looked after our dog Gus for a long weekend, we couldn’t recommend Sharon higher! We do a meet and greet the night before to meet them all. She instantly put us at ease and we felt so comfortable leaving Gus. She kept us updated throughout his stay, sent us lots of pictures and generally just delivered 5star care. We would absolutely use her again, she was utterly fantastic and Gus throughly enjoyed his trip

About: I’m an animal care assistant looking to spend more times with animals outside of work. I have looked after all of my own pets for many years. I’m currently working full time but I am able to pop in and out of houses while house sitting throughout the day to keep your pet happy and spend as much time after work with them. I will use all the amendments available to me to make sure your pet is well looked after and feels safe and loved while you’re away.

About: I have always loved dogs and had family dogs growing up. I have looked after and taken care of plenty of friends’ and family’s dogs to help out while they’ve been away since then! I work full time but do some work from home so can hopefully fit this around stays to be there for company. I have plenty of time for walks before and after work. I’m also often around at the weekends and love a good dog walk. I have a fenced garden so your dogs can spend time outside. I also live close to plenty of green space which is great for dog walks.

About: I have taken care of my own animals and those of friends and family for 10+ years. I have had my own dog, cats, guinea pigs and hamsters, and have taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes. I currently have two confident and dog-friendly cats. I have experience looking after animals with additional health or care needs, including elbow dysplasia, megaesophagus feeding requirements and giving routine medications. I currently work flexibly from home or in my office, depending on my work and personal schedule. I am able to be flexible, but usually work 9-6 with a lunch break for walks with furry friends. I have a fenced and good sized garden and pets have free roam of the house. Our cats come and go through their cat flap and are confident and friendly with dogs after a couple of meetings. For having dogs at my home, I’d like to understand their relationship and behaviour towards cats. In a pet owners home I would take instructions from the owner on how to care for their animals. I would treat their animals and home with respect and care, and would look to meet prior to be shown the home/where things are kept.

About: Laura and I have had dogs all our lives. We routinely dog sit for friends and family. We understand how challenging it can be to have a reliable carer for your dog that you can trust, allowing you to make the most of your time away. Having 3 dogs of varying ages (Axl (15), Chess (12) and Louie (4)), we know how important it is to be flexible in catering to your dog's specific requirements, whether that be medications, toilet routine, exercise or training. Although Chris doesn't hold formal qualification, he is something of a dog whisperer and can use some of the time with your dog to work on specific aspects of obedience with prior agreement. Our baby, TJ, was a 2025 addition to the family and has grown up around our dogs. Naturally, we could not board dogs with a history of agression towards other pets or humans/children. Daily routine - awake 0700-0730, breakfast 0800, dinner 1700, taken outside at 1 - 2 hour intervals throughout the day, short walk around lunchtime, longer walk in the afternoon (dog dependent), bedtime around 2230. Laura and I are currently balancing parental leave and part-time WFH, so there will always be at least one of us at home, if we're not out on a walk. We have a huge (0.25 acre) enclosed grass garden, ideal for training off-lead walking and recall. We are lucky to have locally accessible fields suitable for both on and off lead walks, depending on recall. If your dog travels well, local beaches and forests make for exciting longer adventures.

About: I have had animals since I was a small child and started riding when I was 5. I have had cats most of my life and dogs since I was in my 20s. As well as having my own animal companions, I have been a keen horse riders most of my life and worked with horses/ponies over various times of my life. I have two lovely horses who I ride daily. My dream is to have a small croft where I can have a horse and lots of other animals: goats, sheep and hens. I have 4 collies (2 bitches/2 dogs) who I am bringing on and are well trained and excellent with other dogs. Two of my collies are sheepdogs and I train them regularly. They need a lot of mental and physical stimulation so I am out three times a day, either in the park playing football or further afield at the farm, beach, lochs woods or more rural areas to get plenty of uninterrupted doggo time. I am also experienced in breeding and have raised 3 litters of pups. I work from home Mon- Thùr and take my dogs out three times a day. Fridays and weekends are adventure/play time for longer walks, swimming or exploring new areas. I have a 6ft fenced garden with access to fields, walking tracks, woods. I transport my dogs in a Mitsubishi L200 that is kitted out with transport crates. We love beach time, outdoor swimming and collie-ball (football with collies). My dogs are my best friends and closest companions. I have a teenage son who assists with park and beach walks and shorter walks locally if they require 1:1 time. I work 4 days per week from home and have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are dedicated to family time and dog time with plenty of adventures 😀 we go on adventures daily and the dogs gets plenty of exercise at the farm where I keep my horse. I have an enclosed back garden and access to fenced fields for exercising the dogs. I am responsible and attuned to the needs of my animals. Health and safety comes first.

About: Hello, I’m Naomi, a 28-year-old Veterinary Nurse with a lifelong passion for animals. Choosing someone to care for your pet is a big decision, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. As a Veterinary Nurse, I have extensive experience caring for animals of all ages, breeds, temperaments, and medical needs. I share my life with a dog of my own, so I know that pets are family. Whether your pet loves long walks, gentle strolls, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll tailor their care to suit their individual personality and routine. My professional background means I’m confident administering medication, monitoring health and wellbeing, recognising signs of illness, and caring for senior pets or those with additional needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated as if they were my own—with plenty of love, attention, enrichment, and care. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing your best friend is in safe hands. I like to call the “pupdates”. I’d love to meet you and your pet and discuss how I can provide a happy, safe, and caring home-from-home experience while you’re away. 🐾 Feel free to get in touch—I look forward to meeting your furry family member! I work full-time as a Veterinary Nurse at a Veterinary practice in Inverness but I am available almost every weekend, and depending on my shift pattern, I can also provide evening care. I have a spacious, fenced garden, perfect for your pet to explore and play in. Our home is located in a rural area, providing a safe environment. We also have a Labrador with a wonderful temperament who has been raised with other dogs. He is crate trained and enjoys the freedom to move in and out of his crate as he pleases, making him a great companion for another dog.

Laura was a wonderful overnight carer for our greyhound. He clearly enjoyed his walk and was completely relaxed and happy in Laura’s home. Always an anxious experience when you leave your dog with a new carer but Laura was totally relaxed and and clearly very competent.

We had not used a dog boarding service before and were quite apprehensive about leaving our Cocker Spaniel, Keira, with a stranger for two weeks. However, after our initial visit to meet Kerry and her own pets we felt more at ease and happy that Keira would be able to settle down with her new friends and family. During our holiday Kerry responded to our messages promptly and kept us informed about Keira’s integration into her new surroundings. I would say that Keira was made very welcome and possibly even spoiled by Kerry and her family so, she would have felt very comfortable in her new “home”. I can highly recommend Kerry as a dog boarder and would have no hesitation in using her services again. Thank you so much for looking after our precious pup. William
