About: We’re retired and have shared our home with dogs for most of our married life. Having recently said goodbye to our beloved Springer Spaniel, Lucy, we’re not quite ready for another dog of our own, but we’d love to welcome yours into our home. With plenty of time, patience and affection to give, your dog will enjoy lots of company, walks, playtime, cuddles and individual care, with the comfort of knowing someone is at home throughout the day. Our children have grown and flown the nest, although our five grandchildren visit regularly, so our home is warm, friendly and full of life. We understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and we’ll do everything we can to help them feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. We’ll care for your dog, as we did with our own, giving you complete peace of mind. We are home all day so will always be on hand to attend to your dogs needs. We are early risers so can easily fit into your dogs regular routine. We have a fully enclosed garden and lots of green spaces nearby. We are happy taking your dog in the car, if this is something you’re comfortable with. We are happy to crate your dog or provide whatever sleeping space it’s used to. We can offer peace and quiet or playtime depending on your pets needs.
“We highly recommend Rachel and her lovely family especially her daughter Elly who cared for Toto so well 🐶. Toto clearly had the best time from all the photos and updates we were sent ❤️we were kept fully informed and felt completely at ease with Toto staying with Rachel and her family. We would not hesitate to rebook, Toto is already looking forward to his next stay 🐾🐾🐾.”
“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”
“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.”
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.
“I can only thank Chris and laura for looking after Bailey so well, not only did they keep me updated with texts but sent many photos and videos which were very much appreciated. He had a great time and I will certainly highly recommend them to all”
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 them “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.
About: I have years of experience looking after all kinds of dogs. I have owned rescue dogs and ran a doggy day care centre as a previous job. I will treat your fur ball as if they are my own and enjoy long walks with my 2 own furry friends. I can adapt to your dogs needs and have experience looking after puppies and senior dogs. I work from home Tuesday to Friday so am here all day and will be with your dog all the time. I can walk them daily in the woods and they can run about the garden or have a nap in the house whenever they want. I have a large fenced garden and 2 dogs to keep your dog company. I live beside the woods which is easily accessible for walks. Your dog can sleep where ever they feel most comfortable and I will treat them like they are my own
“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”
“Sandra was a great cat-sitter whilst I was away last weekend. My cat went and stayed with her and Sandra took extra care of her individual needs, as well as her basic ones. Thanks so much Sandra - appreciated! Would recommend :)”

“Sheila was fantastic! She took such good care of our dog and took her for long walks. She was excellent at keeping in touch and really helpful when we were new to visiting the city.”
“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”
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
