About: Work until 2:30pm locally, available outwith these hours. ❤️ Have grown up surrounded by animals, hamsters, rabbits, cats & dogs. Recently welcomed a springer spaniel to our household who we have been working hard to train. Please note any dog that comes to stay with us must be dog friendly due to already having a dog in the house. Love the outdoors and wandering round the parks/beaches and woodland areas that Inverclyde has to offer. Dote on animals and enjoy spending time in their company. Treat all pets as though they are my own. I will care for your pet in their own home by ensuring they feel safe, comfortable and loved whilst sticking to their normal routine. I follow all instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks or playtime to ensure that your pet remains happy and stress free. I also provide plenty of affection, attention and updates so that you know your pet is in safe hands.
“Emma & Sandy looked after Willow for 2 nights whilst we were visiting the area for a wedding. We couldn’t have asked for better care, Willow was treated like their own dog, it was like home from home. We received regular updates and photos and it was obvious Willow was very happy. We would definitely recommend.”
About: My partner and I bought our new home back in March and we are so excited to open it up to lots of dog friends! We’ve been the go to dog sitters for our friends and family for years, regularly looking after dogs for anything from quick weekend trips to fortnight long stays. Everyone recommends us as we couldn’t be bigger dog lovers! We’re used to keeping routines consistent, managing different temperaments, and making sure dogs feel completely at home (in the bed and on the furniture!!) We have our own 9 year old boy, Marley, but he actually has joint custody with my parents because they aren't quite ready to let him leave home full time yet! This setup works brilliantly for hosting: if your dog is great with other pets, Marley is happy to be there, but if your dog isn't good with other animals or just needs to be on their own, Marley will happily stay at his "grandparents'" house for the duration of the booking. Your dog will have full access to our house and although we have a flat with no garden it is by the water and full open plan. Plenty of walks, endless affection, and you'll get regular photo updates while you’re away. Both my partner and I work from home with extreme flexibility. We manage our own calendars which means your dog will rarely be left alone and gets company all day long. We have complete flexibility to stick to your dog’s usual daily routine, including regular toilet breaks, play sessions, and walks around our working hours. We live in a new flat open plan flat with a safe, quiet home environment and great local walking routes right on our doorstep. Our 9 year old dog, Marley, shares joint custody with my parents, meaning we can easily host dogs who need to be the only pet in the flat by arranging for Marley to stay with them. Your dog will have full run of our home and constant care while staying with us.
“Billie although high energy is a very gentle girl and Harry (and Mum) were perfectly lovely, making us feel comfortable leaving her with them for the first time. Harry took Billie on a few good long walks on the hills which she loves and needs and updated us with photos. When picked up she was sitting settled with Harry which is reassuring and seems to have enjoyed her wee holiday. We will absolutely let Billie stay over again.”

About: I have previous cat care experience with looking after multiple cats at a time including senior and kittens for multiple days at a time outdoor or indoor. I have 4 beautiful cats who I have had since 16 years old. I am the main cat sitter for my friends and family who trust me wholeheartedly.
About: Having had the pleasure of being a cat dad for 19 years, plus my level 2 and 3 in animal care and management, and a degree in animal behaviour and welfare, I have been able to work with cats in both a domestic setting and a veterinary hospital, at a pet rescue.

“Cloe was fantastic with Jinx and kept me updated throughout. She made sure he was well taken care of and cleaned up after him too. I’d definitely book with her again. Thanks again, Cloe!”
About: I’ve got experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I know how to keep pups busy and how to give older dogs the calm, gentle care they need. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfy while you’re away. I also have experience with dogs who require medication due to medical conditions, after caring for my own boy Oscar who’s sadly not with us anymore due to old age. Canine First Aid and CPR trained. I’m currently awaiting a start date for my new job so I’ve got all the time in the world to give them the love and attention they need. I only offer care in the pet owner’s home, as I have a German Shephard of my own who’s a bit anxious around other pets. This means your dog will get my full attention in their own familiar space, which helps reduce stress and keeps their routine consistent. I’m big on safety, keeping doors secure, following feeding and walk schedules, and making sure your pet feels happy, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.
About: I have been caring for dogs and other pets for many years. From energetic puppies to more laid back golden oldies, I have experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities. In addition to looking after dogs, cats and other animals, I’ve also had the pleasure of caring for people's homes while they’re away, ensuring everything is kept secure. I have a 1 year-old Schnoodle puppy who loves playing and socialising. If you have a puppy of a similar age and are looking for some fun puppy playdates, feel free to get in touch! If you’re looking for a reliable pet sitter who will treat your pets like family, I’d love to hear from you! I work remotely and flexibly from home so I am able to provide plenty of attention, toilet breaks and play time. I like to set up activities for dogs in my care so that they get as much stimulation as they need, eg treat mats, frozen bowls. Ernie and I go out walking in the morning, lunchtime and evening, incorporating a mixture of exercise - including woodland walks, fetch and recall on the longline and visits to secure off-lead dog fields. Your dog is welcome to join us! We usually go out for a short walk before bed so the dogs can perform their night time ablutions. Pets are welcome to sit on the furniture or rest in their beds and blankets. I am able to care for small to medium dogs in my home. I will often have my puppy with me, so we have plenty of scheduled breaks for playing, napping and walkies throughout the day. When caring for pets at home, I am close to the beach for walks and sniff walks around the park. I am also able to offer home visits, if that is more appropriate for your needs.
“Jamie looked after our 5 babies to an exceptionally high standard and went above and beyond to make sure all their individual needs where met whilst away along with daily updates and brilliant communication. Our cats had taken a liking to Jamie quite quickly showing he has a very kind nature. Our home was looked after and respected also showing high levels of trust. Would highly recommend and use his services again if required.”
About: With two years of cat care experience, I understand how unique every cat is. I’m patient with shy cats, playful with curious ones, and always respectful of their boundaries.

“Agnieszka stayed with our little furball Luna during our wedding weekend. Following an initial visit, we could tell they would get along just fine. We received regular photo updates, and Luna was happy and comfortable in Agnieszka company. We felt totally relaxed the whole weekend knowing Luna was in safe hands and would highly recommend Agnieszka for her professionalism, communication and loving way with pets. Thank you, Luna is already looking forward to your next visit! x”
“I can't believe how lucky we were to find Savanna, she's an absolute star. From the first meeting through the entire process she was an excellent communicator, so kind and open and incredibly respectful of our home and Beans. She made the effort to come over a couple of times so that Beans could get used to her before we left, she is truly excellent with animals and Beans took an immediate liking to her. From start to finish she has provided the highest standard of care for him, adhering to his usual feeding schedule, enrichment and she sent us countless photos and videos so we were absolutley assured that Beans was happy and healthy all throughout our time away. She also looked after our home and plants, and she left everything perfectly tidy and clean which we really appreciate. I cannot recommend Savanna enough, she is a wonderful cat sitter and an even more wonderful person. Thanks Savanna for everything! We'll absolutely come to you first any time we need a sitter again!”

About: My whole life, I've always owned animals of all sorts—big and small. My family has a farm, so I'm accustomed to that lifestyle, not afraid to get dirty, caring for chickens, cows, and sheep. I’m active and love to go for long walks. I’ve boarded animals, done rescue work and rehabilitated kittens and a little experience with lambs. Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions or concerns. I am currently unemployed with an open schedule. I have a vehicle large enough to transport extra large or multiple dogs. Open to long extended walks or travel for pick up. I have no animals on my property. I live in a remote area away from traffic and other houses. I’m very flexible and accommodating to a human’s needs, rules, schedules for their fur baby.

About: Growing up on a farm started my lifelong love of animals! I’ve had dogs in the house since I can remember, and all sorts of animals ranging from cows to peacocks in the garden. As an adult, I’ve house-sat, and dog walked for the last 15 years, and I now live with my partner, daughter and dog in Helensburgh before hopefully returning to the countryside one day. My partner and I are available to dog walk, house-sit and (if your furry friend gets on with our own dog and animal loving 3 year old) board your pet in our home. We have a beautiful garden for playing in, and know some great walks both locally and further afield, to give your pup the very best experience while you’re away. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your lovely pets! Please get in touch if you have any questions or think my partner and I might be able to help! X My partner and I are self employed, so we are able to be flexible with your pet’s needs! Please get in touch if you have any specific questions or scheduling needs. We have a fenced garden, a friendly dog, and an animal loving 3 year old to give your pet all the love and attention they could possibly need. If they need a slightly slower pace, my partner or I can also look after your pet in your own home and their own space.
“It was so lovely to know LIndy was being well looked after by Vicki on Easter Day which enabled me to see my family as she is not comfortable in the close up company of my small grandchildren or my son's large and lively young dog. She is a quirky little dog and Vicki gave her 5 star attention to keep her calm!”
“Debbie was great - really calm and settled my fairly new rescue dog well. Very friendly and kept in contact so I knew how my dog was doing. Debbie really connected with my dog so I would highly recommend Debbie especially if you have a nervous dog!”
“Absolutely incredible, Harlee loves staying over and beth herself is such a kind person! this is the second time harlee has stayed with beth and she is definitely in trust worthy hands, definitely won’t be the last time our dog will see her:)”
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life. I have my 9 year old male husky and my brother has two cocker spaniels & my dad has a collie and two kittens.

About: I’ve always been a big dog person and have spent lots of time looking after my friends’ Cocker Spaniels, Ralph and Rue. I’d have them stay with me for days or sometimes weeks, so I’m very used to the walks, feeding, keeping them entertained and generally having a dog follow me around everywhere! I absolutely loved having them around and still miss them, so I’d be very happy to get my dog fix by looking after some new four-legged friends. I work from home most of the time, except from a Wednesday when I go into the office. I live alone and my job involves a lot of writing so would welcome the company from a cute doggo I have a nice garden space for dogs to enjoy, and I love getting out for little walks and adventures, so there’ll be plenty of fresh air and things to sniff! your pup will have my full attention and won’t have to worry about children or a busy household. I’m happy to work around their usual routine, whether that’s lots of walks and playtime or plenty of sofa time and cuddles.
“Absolutely fantastic! My new go-to :) my dog completely adores Carly and gets on super well with her dog too. She's very attentive and kind. Can't ask for anything more. My dog whines with excitement to go see her. One very happy client!”
“Maddy provided an excellent service, she was extremely helpful arranging pickup and drop off of our dog Hamish and my sister's dog allowing us all to enjoy a full day at a family wedding. I would highly recommend Maddy to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.”
About: I have had my own dogs in the past. Have experience with both small and large dogs. Also have experience raw feeding. I work from home so your pet would have me around all the time while in my care I work full time 9-5 but work from home with regular breaks to let pets out regularly if needed. Weekends are normally rather chilled. I have a very large enclosed back garden. Also have two doors (one always closed all times) so no risk of your pet escaping. I have no pets so your pet will have my full attention when in my care. I do have 12 year old child so all pets must be Oka with children
About: Golden Family Dog Sitting Hey, guys, my name is Julie, and my partner Chris and I currently have three stunning Golden retriever babies who are our absolute world. I have been fostering for Irish Retriever Rescue for the last 3 years as well as doggy sitting for close friends and family. I made the decision to officially do what I love and that's looking after fur babies of all kind 🥰 full time. I offer boarding and when looking after your fur baby they will not be left alone throughout there stay and will have the adventures that they will just keep yapping about after you come and collect them🤭. We are looking to offer that home away from home experience for your pups holiday with us. Our three love to meet new friends and have playtime all the time. We have experience with all types of dogs from fostering and puppy sitting and our three themselves. We make sure that all dogs daily are comfortable providing them with 2 walks a day and a visit to our local dog field to get all the zoomies out. We will take instructions from yourself on feeding and treats, all dogs have free roam of the house and Garden, but again we like to make sure everyone is safe so always make sure that at least one of us is present with the dogs at all times. We like to always do an introduction with our dogs first before the holiday just to make sure everyone is introduced and there's no issues while doing this we always love to get more information and stories about your pup to make sure we provide the best experience when they come. In case of any emergencies or injuries we always have a pet first aid box on hand and our vets is only 10 minutes away if necessary but thankfully have never had any issues to require the vet. Also have experience with excitable dogs, nervous dogs and have small experience with resource guarding that was corrected by ourselves. Normal daily routine for ourselves is garden toilet time while breakfast is being prepared, once we full belly's and a little time to digest its times for our morning walk which is usually around 45 minutes to an hour, after returning from our morning walk it's fun time play time during the week I myself am at home with all dogs and make sure to have playtime with toys and out in our spacious garden which is fully fenced and secure. Around 5pm we proceed to have dinner time in which I make sure to feed all dogs and usually once Chris returns home at 6 we take all dogs out to the Run free dog fields for an hour we tend to fetch or if we are feeling energetic we like to run round with the dogs with a little game of tag lol once our time is up we normally try and settle down for the evening all dogs have the freedom of the house so where ever they feel comfortable they can choose to relax for the evening but we do make sure to have regular garden breaks until it is time for our night time walk which is normally around 10pm again for around 45 minutes. Once that is complete it's time for our beds we have a number of dog beds throughout the house and also dogs have the option to sleep where they are most comfortable. Weekends tend to be slightly different as we tend to go on adventures whether to the beach a first walk or hike to give the dogs a great adventure to enjoy. If you have any questions, feel free to message me ☺️ I will doing this as my full time job offering all dogs in my care my 100% attention making sure all dogs are safe and given the best care possible I have a fully fenced garden which wrap rounds the house giving the dogs amble space to run and have when we are home. I have 2 friendly golden retrievers who are more than welcoming to all dogs and are experienced in dealing with many personalities with us fostering for the last 3 years. We make sure to always offer a safe environment for dogs and a home away from home giving them walks adventure and fun at our local dog field which is fully secure so everyone is able to burn off plenty of energy and run to there’s heart content. All dogs have free rain of the home and someone with them 24/7.

About: Hey! I'm Rebecca, a big dog lover who has owned dogs for over 10years. We've currently got a Beagle and have previously owned a Flatcoat Retriever & Rhodesian Ridgeback so aren't strangers to large dogs. I've always had dogs growing up & can't imagine life without one. I believe a house isn't a home without a dog..or 2 or 3. I'd love to provide our home as a place to stay for your dog when needed and can promise they will be loved and treated as own of our own. Our house is made up of myself, husband + 2 kids & our course our beagle boy. Our garden is safe, private & fully enclosed. We have neighbours on one side only & they do not have any pets. Our own dog is crate trained which he uses for sleeping during the night & when we have to nip out. *Dogs must be comfortable with children *Accepts anxious dogs * We do require proof of vaccinations* *We hold an active dog boarding license with our local council, proof of which can be provided* We like to stick to your dogs own routine as much as possible. Our days are filled with walks, time in the garden and rest. Dogs are welcome on the furniture for cuddles. We have plenty of walks nearby and a 'Run Free Field' within a few minutes drive so dogs with no recall will still have a good and safe run around.
About: Hello! I’m Lucy and dogs have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for my own Jack Russell, Millie, for the past 11 years, so I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. Through caring for Millie and walking friends’ dogs of all sizes, I’ve gained experience with everything from energetic young dogs who are still learning, to older dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Millie can be anxious around other dogs at times, which has taught me how to stay calm and confident when handling nervous or reactive dogs. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and always treat them with the same care, attention, and affection that I give my own. I’m available all weekend and currently working a full time job with hybrid availability when I am working from home so please reach out to me for more information on availability! I have a fenced back and front garden which is really safe for dogs. My own dog Millie loved to find gaps in the fences so we’ve made sure all gaps are now non existent 🤣 safe, friendly neighbourhood with plenty of woodland nature walks near by.

Pets are welcome to sit on the furniture or rest in their beds and blankets. I am able to care for small to medium dogs in my home. I will often have my puppy with me, so we have plenty of scheduled breaks for playing, napping and walkies throughout the day. When caring for pets at home, I am close to the beach for walks and sniff walks around the park. I am also able to offer home visits, if that is more appropriate for your needs.

“Steven had our dog molly for a week he was great at keeping us informed and sending pictures, molly settled very well with Steven and we certainly would use him again and would not hesitate to recommend to others”
About: My partner and I bought our new home back in March and we are so excited to open it up to lots of dog friends! We’ve been the go to dog sitters for our friends and family for years, regularly looking after dogs for anything from quick weekend trips to fortnight long stays. Everyone recommends us as we couldn’t be bigger dog lovers! We’re used to keeping routines consistent, managing different temperaments, and making sure dogs feel completely at home (in the bed and on the furniture!!) We have our own 9 year old boy, Marley, but he actually has joint custody with my parents because they aren't quite ready to let him leave home full time yet! This setup works brilliantly for hosting: if your dog is great with other pets, Marley is happy to be there, but if your dog isn't good with other animals or just needs to be on their own, Marley will happily stay at his "grandparents'" house for the duration of the booking. Your dog will have full access to our house and although we have a flat with no garden it is by the water and full open plan. Plenty of walks, endless affection, and you'll get regular photo updates while you’re away. Both my partner and I work from home with extreme flexibility. We manage our own calendars which means your dog will rarely be left alone and gets company all day long. We have complete flexibility to stick to your dog’s usual daily routine, including regular toilet breaks, play sessions, and walks around our working hours. We live in a new flat open plan flat with a safe, quiet home environment and great local walking routes right on our doorstep. Our 9 year old dog, Marley, shares joint custody with my parents, meaning we can easily host dogs who need to be the only pet in the flat by arranging for Marley to stay with them. Your dog will have full run of our home and constant care while staying with us.
“Billie although high energy is a very gentle girl and Harry (and Mum) were perfectly lovely, making us feel comfortable leaving her with them for the first time. Harry took Billie on a few good long walks on the hills which she loves and needs and updated us with photos. When picked up she was sitting settled with Harry which is reassuring and seems to have enjoyed her wee holiday. We will absolutely let Billie stay over again.”
“Absolutely fantastic-looked after Buddy in his own home so no stress for him ! Lots of pictures, interactions and walks , would recommend and will definately look to book again ! Thank you so much x”

“Rebecca has made our dog Lucy's first boarding experience a good one. It's a relief to leave her in such good hands. Lucy was made welcome in her home with her family and their dog Ozzie. We will”
About: Hello! We are Lauren and Stephen. We've had dogs for a number of years and have trained them from puppies. We currently have 2 very friendly dogs - Sam (cocker spaniel, 10 years old) and Sid (border collie, 5 years old) so have experience with dogs of different ages and sizes. Lauren has received training on home grooming and has groomed Sam his whole life. There is nothing that we enjoy more than spending time with our pups and have taken them on a number of adventures climbing munroes. We also like to take them on forest and beach walks. Lauren currently works full time Mon-Fri 9-5 and will be available on evenings 6PM-9PM and all day on weekends. Stephen also works full time but could be available on a Friday, weekends and evenings. We have a fully fenced and secure garden, along with dog bathing facilities if required. We also have a van available, with secure crates and ventilation.
About: As a child, I never had a dog or cat of my own, despite begging my parents. So, I made up for it by walking my friends’ dogs as I loved animals. My mum then got a greyhound six years ago, and he was the best thing to happen to our family, so I spent my days looking after him. I wish to continue to do so in any way I can, whether it be dog walking or sleepovers. I am more than happy to help. I look forward to seeing the adventures your furry friend and I will go on, whether that be a local walk or taking your dog to the national park local to me. I am really looking forward to hearing from you! - Marina I currently working hybrid/remote from home so I’ll have plenty of time to look after your lovely pets! I have every weekend off too (: I can take your dog for local walks or i can take your dog to Loch Lomond or Balloch castle which is perfect for dog walking, your dog can wander around, play and swim too (: I will always create a route tailored to your dogs needs and abilities. At home, your pet will be allowed to wander the house freely. We have a good back and front garden where they can play and go out whenever they’d like.
“Cookie didn’t just have a boarder. She has an entire family who was dedicated, kind and went above and beyond to help her settle. Like a lot of German Shepherds cookie is very bonded to me her main owner, and it is difficult to leave her on first visit, but this wonderful family could not have made her more welcome. Incredible communication, pictures, updates. Could not have been more wonderful. How they recommended, wonderful people, and amazing service.”
“Bronwyn made our dog Walter so welcome on his first stay away from home. When I went to collect him he was relaxing on an easy chair perfectly at home. Could not have asked for more. Bronwyn and family were so kind to Walter and even sent us a photo of him. Thank you.”
About: I am a dog loving, animal obsessed and puppy mum! We have brought home a new puppy this year, Haggis and happy to share our home with other friendly pups who need some short stays! Hi! I’m an experienced dog owner and absolutely love having dogs around. Your dog will be treated like part of the family in a safe, loving home alongside our friendly Australian Labradoodle puppy, Haggis, and our 8-year-old son, who has grown up around dogs and is calm and respectful with them. To make sure everyone has a happy and stress-free stay, we do have a few requirements. Dogs staying with us must be friendly and comfortable around other dogs and children. We also ask that they’re happy sleeping in either a crate or their own bed overnight, as we don’t allow dogs to sleep in our beds. Our aim is to provide a fun, safe, and relaxed home-from-home where your dog gets plenty of attention, play, and care while you’re away. We look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! We have an enclosed garden and lots of walks in our area to take your dog on.
“Maddie looked after our 2 Brittany’s for 4 days whilst we were away and she was perfect in every respect. She is well set up to look after your dogs & has lots of walks to take them on . Maddie’s communication with us was excellent and we got daily updates with photos showing the dogs at her home and out on the numerous walks she took them on. A genuine dog lover who really cared for our boys. Fantastic , I’m sure we will be back”
“Very highly recommended. Our dog stayed with him for a few days. Unfortunately he was sick just before and sitter took care of him really well. Very reliable gentlemen was on time, polite and dependable. Took instructions well and updated us on our dog every day, multiple times with text and photos. I don't think our dog wanted to come back.”
“Michaela and Ryan were brilliant from start to finish! From quick responses to initial enquiries, arranging a meet and greet before the booking to sending updates and pics during Buddy's stay. They made us feel at ease about leaving our pup for the first time. Buddy settled quickly and seemed really relaxed when we picked him up. He'd clearly had a great time. Would definitely book again and recommend. Thank you for taking such great care of Buddy.”
“We booked our golden doodle Freddie for a three night stay with Elizabeth and I can only say how delighted we are with the care and affection our wee doodle received. From the initial meet n greet, a few days before his stay, Freddie was warmly welcomed into the family and very quickly settled with Elizabeth. He was spoiled all weekend with woodland walks, sniffing safaris at the local park and even a trip to Loch Lomond for a dip! With lovely photos and regular updates on his stay we felt so reassured that he was in safe hands and having a great time with an experienced dog lover! We’re so pleased to have found Elizabeth and Freddie is looking forward to his next stay already!”
“Janou did an amazing job looking after our dog. Rocco had a great time staying with Janou, who gave us updates on how Rocco was doing and we felt at ease knowing that our dog was well looked after. Would recommend and thank you Janou!”
“Would definitely recommend! Took such good care of Mylo and kept me updated with lots of pictures. He looked so happy and settled, was lovely knowing he was in such good hands. :)”
“Laura and Luke were absolutely brilliant with Clement. We contacted them relatively last minute as we had a last minute change of plans for the weekend and had to travel to Paisley from near Birmingham with our beloved doggo in tow. The communication was spot on throughout, quick, clear and everything was really easy to arrange. They were so welcoming with Clement and completely unfazed by the fact that, while he’s incredibly friendly, he also comes with a generous helping of fur, slobber and love! They took him out on adventures during the day and he came back very happy, content and clearly very well looked after. In fact, I’m not entirely convinced he missed us at all! We felt completely comfortable leaving him with Laura and Luke and would happily recommend them. Thank you both for taking such lovely care of him! 🐾”
