“This was Bailey's first time away and it was a great stay. She enjoyed her time with the two resident dogs Alfie and Molly. Kenneth provided lots of photos and videos during her short 3 night stay which kept us informed and reassured. We have no hesitation in using Kenneth again.”
“What a fantastic lovely couple. We couldn’t be happier with our dog’s care. He was treated as one of the family, pampered and loved for all his time with them. Would definitely recommend and will be booking him in again should we be in the area visiting again.”
“Dieter had a wonderful time at Kevin and Darias! We couldn’t have asked for better sitters. We got lots of lovely pictures and updates and it was lovely to see him interacting with other dogs, playing and relaxing in the sofa. Kevin and Daria had great communication and where flexiable and accommodating. Can’t reccomend them enough !”
About: I have always had animals growing up. From a young age I was always helping in the responsibility of putting our family chickens to bed, we have over 100 and were counted each night. I worked 3 winter seasons in Austria babysitting/dog sitting so have plenty of experience looking after different breeds of dogs. I also work as a receptionist at a Veterinary Practice so have a good knowledge about cats and dogs. I work full time at a Veterinary Practice that allows us to bring our own dogs into the practice but I also only live a 8 minute walk away and have an hours lunch break for visiting them if they need to stay at my house. Although I don’t have a garden as such there is a field right beside me and a fenced park which is only a 5 minute walk away.
“Vikki is very professional, my pup loved her, she kept me up to date with pictures and correspondence about my dog, I think she is amazing and will definitely be using vikki again, can't thank her enough.”
“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 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: 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.
“I would highly recommend Logan. Our older dog Buddy had a great time staying with him and Stella while we were on holiday. Logan sent regular updates with videos where we could clearly see he was having a great time. Thanks again for looking after our Buddy so well and I’ll definitely be in touch next time we’re going away.”
“Where do I begin, I honestly can't recommend Chris and Laura enough! Leaving Willow (my 10 month old sprocker) was a big thing for me, but they made me feel completely at ease from the very beginning. She had the best time and came home so happy. Before her stay, we'd already agreed to add one of Chris's training packages alongside the boarding for an additional cost. I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I've made. The difference in Willow has been incredible. Before, she never really settled outside of her crate, she jumped all over everyone and would run off at every opportunity if something caught her attention. Since coming home she's so much calmer, settles around the house on her own, happily lies at my feet while I'm doing things, and is so much better with the kids and other distractions around her. She's learnt so many new skills and commands, but more importantly she's learnt how to relax. I'm genuinely so grateful. Willow is such a big part of our little family and Chris has made such a positive difference to our day-to-day life. The training has given us the confidence to carry on what he's started, and I honestly can't thank him enough. Thank you both so much for looking after our girl. She'll definitely be back! ❤️”

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.
“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.”

“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!”

“Ziggy had a great time with Kevin and the other dogs he had with him. Kevin was very friendly and helpful, and helped us out with a last minute change of day which was really appreciated! Would thoroughly recommend Kevin to others in the Inverness area”
“Vicki was absolutely fantastic!! We needed dog care on the day of a wedding, and she was so understanding and patient as we tried to work out exactly what we needed and when! Brego had a wonderful time, he did not want to leave when we came to get him. We highly recommend her to anyone needing dog care in the area!”
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. Highly recommend Laura.”
“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.”
“Jane was absolutely lovely to deal with and took great care of Felix. She was very friendly and easy to deal with and made it very rest to deal with her. I would recommend her to everyone and hope to see her again soon”
“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: 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!

“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”
