“David was great and had our minds at ease the full time our dog was in his care. Regular updates and very knowledgeable. We would highly recommend and would not hesitate to use again in the future.”
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.
“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: 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.
“Our Eddie is a return visitor with Jennifer as we know he’s well cared for and happy there. It gives us peace of mind and reassurance when we’re enjoying our holiday, because we know that Eddie is enjoying his holiday too.”
“Bethany and her family looked after our 5 month old patterdale for a week, he was treated and cared for like he was one of her own dogs and loved every minute.We had regular updates and lovely pictures of him having fun.Would highly recommend her and was my first time using the service will definitely be using the service again.”

About: I have been a dedicated pet owner my entire life, which he sadly recently passed away, and have a deep love and understanding of animals. My personal experience includes caring for my own beloved dog for 15 years, during which I was responsible for all aspects of his well-being, including daily walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, and regular veterinary visits. This long-term commitment has provided me with practical, hands-on experience in managing a dog's routine and adapting care as they age. I am comfortable with dogs, for I had a Staffie and can provide compassionate, reliable, and attentive care tailored to your pet’s specific needs with lovely walks surrounded my place. Your pet will be well looked after and loved. I am a stay at home person and do things from home apart from on a Thursday I am out 10am-2pm, and on a Friday night I work 6pm-10pm. I am in a smoke free home, one level flat, ground floor with a large back garden that is fenced and many lovely nature walks surrounding me. It's a warm cosy home, and plenty room for cuddles.

“We recently went on holiday for a week and entrusted our two dogs to Rebecca and family for the second time. From start to finish, the dogs’ experience was fantastic. Rebecca went above and beyond to ensure our dogs were well taken care of. Regular updates with photos and videos reassured us that they were happy and comfortable. Both dogs were well-exercised and clearly loved. We couldn't have asked for better care. Highly recommended and we hope Rebecca and family will have us back next time! Thank you so much ☺️”
“Jessica was great! It was the first time we booked a stay for our dog Zuzu on Rover and he loved his holiday. Jess gave us updates with pictures all the time. We could see how well he was taken care of, going out for walks, getting all the cuddles and attention from the whole family. He had no sign of his usual separtion anxiety and just looked like he had a very good time during his ten days stay! Thanks Jessica :)”

Carrie was lovely and followed my every instruction, as well as provided a ton of photos and a summary of the drop in so that I knew my cats were being cared for. Would definitely recommend! Thank you!! :)”
About: I’ve owned and cared for cats ever since I was four, cats have always been in my family and I love meeting new furry friends. I’ve previously volunteered with Cats Protection, looking after cats of all ages. From kittens to seniors, there’s no feline I don’t love. Even if they have their quirks and different personalities, they’re still lovable.
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.
“Cloe was great and I would highly recommend! Her communication with me was brilliant and helped both me and blaze feel better about our time apart, I definitely came home to a much happier kitty than when I’ve had her in catterys previously. I will be booking Cloe for future sitting.”
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.
“Dylan took great care of my very high energy Cocker Spaniel puppy. It was my first time using the app so I was a little anxious about the whole thing but he was super patient, friendly and accommodating of meeting us beforehand! It's clear that he loves dogs 🐶 Will definitely be booking him again - I'm sure my pup will be delighted! Thanks Dylan ☺️”
“Misty, Beau & Shadow had a wonderful time with Alba. She looked after them brilliantly. She cuddled and played with them as if they were her own. I cannot rate her highly enough and would happily leave them in her care again.”
“Agnieszka looked after my grandmother’s cat at her home for 3 nights. She was incredibly kind and patient with him even though he was a bit unsure of being away from home. She kept me up to date and went out her way to make him comfortable which we very much appreciated. Would recommend.”
About: I had 6 cats over the years. One of them, Grey, was diagnosed with a condition which meant he wouldn’t live past 6 months. He was given the best diet possible and care needed to see him through. This year he have his sweet 16! He lives in comfort with my parents back home in Ukraine. I miss him everyday and I’d love to experience the curious and sometimes chaotic nature that cats have! You can be assured that your cat will be pampered, played with and loved. Huzaifah, my partner, has cat sat multiple times for family and friends. He loves animals, especially cats!
About: I grew up around dogs all my life. I have lived with and cared for all different breeds, sizes and ages and have loved every minute. I currently have a 5 year old boxer named Jaffar, who is the perfect measure of a gentle giant and a friendly playmate. Jaffar is great around all dogs, he has shared his home with many and we have never had an issue. Jaffar will welcome any canine companions in to share his toys, sofa and bed (he hasn’t figured out the bed is to sleep in but he does use it as a pillow). While your pet is having its sleep over it will have full access to all rooms and furniture in the house as well as the back garden. If you have certain requirements for your pup during their or stay then I will actively seek to meet these to make this a home away from home. I can fit pet care in to my routine with as little or as much notice as possible. I have a flexible schedule at work and tend to put my dog first and fit my work around that. I can be flexible on taking care of someone’s pet either at my home or theirs. I would just like their pet to feel as at home as possible. I have a back garden with astroturf so this can be accessed in all weathers and various walking routes on my doorstep.
About: I love all dogs - big and small! I grew up with dogs - a German short haired pointer and an Italian Spinone, as well as lots of other lovely dogs in my extended family too. I now have a three year old cocker spaniel called Juno. She is well trained and very sociable with all dogs and she loves to have other dogs to stay! I’m happy to work on any training needs your dog has while staying with me. I work from home 2 or 3 days a week. I tend to take Juno for one longer (1+ hours) walk per day as well as a couple of short trips to the park. I can adjust this depending on your dog - longer/more adventurous for energetic dogs and shorter/more gentle walks for older or slower dogs. We love to go down to Portobello, round Arthur’s Seat and up to Blackford Hill. I live on my own and have a 2 year old cocker spaniel. She is very friendly and gets on with all dogs - but also knows when to leave dogs that don’t want to play with her! I will only ever take one dog at a time so it will only ever be the two dogs together. I have a secure shared garden with grass lawn and surrounding stone wall. In the house, your dog can make itself at home. I have dog beds in both rooms and they are also welcome to be on the sofa/armchairs. I’ve got lots of dog toys and chews. My flat is on the third floor so may not be suitable for older dogs with mobility/joint issues.
About: I’ve taken care of cats all the time and my neighbours cat always comes in to mine snd she texts me to look after her when she is on nightshift my neighbours cat sits in my drive and waits for me to come home
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: Myself and my wife have over 35 years experience with all aspects of animal care and I think we are above the rest in that we treat them like our own during their stay rather than just another customer. Our reviews will back this up aswell.

“Jennifer kindly took Gus for a few ours of daycare before his overnight. He had a great time and loves Jennifer’s garden! I received updates and pictures of Gus exploring on his walk in the country which was great. I would definitely recommend.”
“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!”
“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: 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.
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. I help look after regularly when they are away or working. I am always home and available, the back door will be open for them to come and go and they will receive a minimum of one two mile walk a day with the option of being off lead in the woods. I have a fenced back garden (6 ft) and a very friendly dog at home who will help keep your doggos company at all times.
“We were up from Bedfordshire for a funeral and didn't want to leave our dog behind. Rebecca met us the day before where we introduced Willow to her and Ossie. She is a lovely person and left us in no doubt that Willow would be well cared for. We had to extend the visit with her and she accommodated this without any extra charge. We don't like being apart from our Willow but should we have to book doggy day care again, it will be with Rebecca. Thanks very much!”

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.
“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!”
About: I had a lovely borador named Dudley who sadly passed last year. At the moment, I’m working from home and so have extensive flexibility for long walks and games in the garden! I love dogs, and would be delighted to take care of your pooch! Please get in touch with any questions. I’m working from home with an entirely flexible schedule. Last minute changes are no problem. The property is easily accessible from the local town and safe. I have a large country kitchen and sun room opens onto the veranda and garden.my dog used to have his bed and little zone, looking out onto the garden (as shown in photos). This will be the primary area of care for dogs staying- although, of course, they will equally be allowed to come to the living room and rest on the sofa with a blanket if they are older/ prefer a cosier setting! The home is dog safe, and they will be supervised at all times.
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: We always had dogs growing up, but most importantly, I had my own little boy, Bob. Very sadly, I lost him a couple of years ago. I had Bob from a tiny puppy and he lived up until 16, so I have the experience of having looked after him at all stages of his life. I am very sensitive to the needs and signs dogs give off and want to always make sure they’re relaxed and as comfortable as possible in their environment. I’ll stick to any instructions given. No problem with administering meds either. (Top tip: liver paste for pills!!) I work from home during the week (10-6pm), although my times are flexible and I can work around the needs of a dog. I don’t work weekends. I have a two bedroom flat, where I lived with my Jack Russell x Toy Poodle. We often had doggy visitors, occasionally for sleepovers and they all seemed to like it! Nice chair by the window for dogs who like a view. Dogs who are allowed on the furniture in their own homes are completely fine to be on the furniture here and make themselves at home. The kitchen floors is vinyl, but I have rugs for older dogs with slippy paws. I’m on the second floor, but fine to carry a dog up/down the stairs if required. Garden out back, beach out front and woodland walks either side!
About: I grew up with dogs from my grandparents collies to our family labradors and now my own cockapoo. Dogs bring me a lot of happiness and I love chilling out with my furry friends. I have over 20 years of experience looking after dogs and I understand the importance of making sure your dog is safe with someone else when they can’t be with you. I use Rover myself when I need someone to watch me dog and so would like to help others out too. I work full time where I am required to be in the office twice a week. Those days are flexible so I can usually work around requests for dog sitting. I have a decent sized house and garden for your dog to relax in and they will have company with me and my cockapoo. I live in a very quiet residential area with a fenced garden. Your dog will be on lead at all times when out on a walk with me.
About: I have always owned dogs (Jack russels) however amongst all friends and family I am the dog whisperer And always the dog sitter. Whenever they go away. My daughter attends nursery every morning mom-Fri so at the moment I’m a stay at home mum. So this is a perfect solution. I can have 121 time with dog and big long walks before pick up. Any animal that comes into my home is treated as part of the family. No questions asked. The love we both have for dogs will soon calm the nerves. I consider your baby’s time with me to be their vacation as well, so I make it as fun as possible for both of us! I can’t wait to meet your fur baby!

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: I've had a dog in my home ever since I was 2 and I just adore them. I know how to make sure your pet is feeling safe. I'm currently in college but I'm free Thursday's and Fridays from 3pm and on weekdays so if you ever need someone to walk your dog I'm here. I offer dog walking only but that may change as I may very with what I out on my profile so stay updated because that may change. But I will give your pet all my attention
“Margaret was great with my two dogs. They really took to her, even the dog who is usually quite timid with anyone outwith the family. Definitely recommend and will be using her again.”
“Thank you so much Chloe for looking after Alby. He was a little unsure at first but you made sure he felt comfortable. Chloe was really accommodating even doing a bit of training when Alby was reactive in the park with another dog - this is massively appreciated. I would definitely recommend Chloe to anyone in need of a dog sitter and we’ll be in touch again when we need any support.”
“Agnieszka has been walking our little French bulldog, Bruna, for the past week, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She’s attentive, communicates promptly about any updates or changes, and has been so reliable. Our Bruna adores her, which is a huge bonus for us. Highly recommend her services!”

“Danni was great and totally put my mind at ease about leaving the girls with someone they didn't know, which we hadn't done before. The communication was great and I know she genuinely cares about them and does her best to meet their needs 😊She came to visit beforehand and really took the time to get to know them first. I feel more relaxed about being able to travel to see family now that we know we have someone who's kind and trustworthy that we can contact 😊I will definitely be using Danni's services again!”
About: Hello! My dad & I started pet sitting a while back after being contacted on a pet sitting platform which I have used over the years for my own pets & have always had very positive experiences. We have enjoyed it very much, so much so we are making it our mission now to help as many owners with their pets as possible! My dad being retired has all the time now to do the things he enjoys. Between the two of us we strive to provide a loving & safe environment for your pets. We love meeting new furry friends and getting to know them. We have gained experience on a range of pets needs including older, younger, pets which need 1-1 care , medication reliant and constant care. If you have any questions just ask away. No question is a silly question! We look forward to meeting your pet & making sure they are well looked after! Between my retired dad & i, we are around most of the time to accommodate pets that need constant care including older pets & those which need medication When staying in the owners home, we find nearby green grassy areas for different stretches of walks & toilet breaks depending on your pets needs. All we ask if owners provide poo bags. Thanks! :)
About: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes – from dogs and cats to guinea pigs! I’ve looked after both energetic puppies and senior dogs, tailoring their care to their individual needs. I'm confident with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and administering basic medications. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands. I currently don't work full-time with flexibility to work from home, and I’m mostly available on weekdays and weekends for daytime care or overnight stays. I live in a secure, pet-friendly flat with a large, fenced garden – perfect for safe outdoor time. I'm also just a 3-minute walk from a lovely big park for walks and play. I'm happy to crate your dog if needed and always make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.
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.
About: With my Dad who races pigeons and an Auntie who rescues dogs and used to volunteer with The Dog's Trust, I am one of the lucky ones who has grown up around animals their entire life. We kept budgies and rabbits, a dog and a cat. I had neighbours who asked me to look after their guinea pig, and another who asked me to look after their Yorkshire Terrier, I have wide experience with different animals and on different terms, including overnight stays and daily meal time visits, or just as a companion for a few hours. My boyfriend is always catching me talking to various dogs and our cats when we are out on walks. I'm currently working from home as a freelance photographer which gives me a pretty flexible weekly routine. I live close to a number of parks for walks, but also close to public transport for home visits.I As previously mentioned, I have been entrusted with things like staying overnight to look after a friend's cats, dropping by to check in with pet wellbeing and keeping them company for a few hours and dishing up meal time. Additionally, as someone very fond of nature, dog walks are something I really miss about moving to the city from the Scottish Highlands where I grew up with said cat, dog, rabbits, budgies and pigeons.
About: I’ve always looked after dogs and enjoyed it. As I work shifts I can’t get my own so I want to look after other people’s and keep owners mind at ease that there dog is safe and sound. I do have a one year old now who is quite boisterous I work shifts with the Nhs and will only look after dogs when I am off on a/l or have a good run of days off will never watch a dog if I’m working. Just myself and son in house he’s 16. I have a back garden with a fence and gate. Will always supervise pets when outside. Will care for dog to the standard of owner and will treat them well.
About: I love all dogs - big and small! I grew up with dogs - a German short haired pointer and an Italian Spinone, as well as lots of other lovely dogs in my extended family too. I now have a three year old cocker spaniel called Juno. She is well trained and very sociable with all dogs and she loves to have other dogs to stay! I’m happy to work on any training needs your dog has while staying with me. I work from home 2 or 3 days a week. I tend to take Juno for one longer (1+ hours) walk per day as well as a couple of short trips to the park. I can adjust this depending on your dog - longer/more adventurous for energetic dogs and shorter/more gentle walks for older or slower dogs. We love to go down to Portobello, round Arthur’s Seat and up to Blackford Hill. I live on my own and have a 2 year old cocker spaniel. She is very friendly and gets on with all dogs - but also knows when to leave dogs that don’t want to play with her! I will only ever take one dog at a time so it will only ever be the two dogs together. I have a secure shared garden with grass lawn and surrounding stone wall. In the house, your dog can make itself at home. I have dog beds in both rooms and they are also welcome to be on the sofa/armchairs. I’ve got lots of dog toys and chews. My flat is on the third floor so may not be suitable for older dogs with mobility/joint issues.
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: I am a 30 year old woman with a 4 year old Siberian husky and a 2 year old tabby cat. I am an animal lover and like being outside come rain or shine so be assured your pets will have the best walks or cuddles asked for. I have been brought up around animals my entire life with both sisters having 2 dogs each and my parents having a family dog whilst growing up. I do work full time as a teacher but I have various holidays throughout the year where I am able to walk or have your animal overnight if you are away. Walking your dog or cuddling your cat is at the highest priority. I am very trust worthy when entering your home. I will send details of my visit and pictures of your pet being looked after and attended to.

“David was great and had our minds at ease the full time our dog was in his care. Regular updates and very knowledgeable. We would highly recommend and would not hesitate to use again in the future.”
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.
“Steven looked after our labradoodle for the first time in January. Steven kept us updated and Arlo settled very well in his home. Arlo is a large dog with lots of energy, Steven managed his schedule and Arlo could enjoy lovely walks around Balloch. I would use Steven for dog sitting in the future.”
“Our Eddie is a return visitor with Jennifer as we know he’s well cared for and happy there. It gives us peace of mind and reassurance when we’re enjoying our holiday, because we know that Eddie is enjoying his holiday too.”
“Bethany and her family looked after our 5 month old patterdale for a week, he was treated and cared for like he was one of her own dogs and loved every minute.We had regular updates and lovely pictures of him having fun.Would highly recommend her and was my first time using the service will definitely be using the service 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”
“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.”
“We recently went on holiday for a week and entrusted our two dogs to Rebecca and family for the second time. From start to finish, the dogs’ experience was fantastic. Rebecca went above and beyond to ensure our dogs were well taken care of. Regular updates with photos and videos reassured us that they were happy and comfortable. Both dogs were well-exercised and clearly loved. We couldn't have asked for better care. Highly recommended and we hope Rebecca and family will have us back next time! Thank you so much ☺️”
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.
“Koko and his family were absolutely wonderful! They kept us updated regularly, and it was clear our dog was having the best time. They respected his routine, adapted to his individual needs, and cared for him with so much love and attention. Seeing how happy and relaxed he was gave us complete peace of mind. This was our dog’s very first stay away from us since we rescued him, and it couldn’t have gone better. It was obvious that he enjoyed every single moment with them. We can only recommend Koko and his family!”
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.
“Bowser was really well cared for during his overnight stay. I was kept updated throughout the sta6rt, so I felt really reassured that bowser was doing well and having a great time Orla and Aine will be my first port of call next time I need him looked after”
“Kirsty and Liam looked after our male Labrador for a long weekend. I was really anxious as he’s never been left with anyone other than family before. I received daily updates and photographs that made me feel content that he was being well looked after, so much so I don’t think he wanted to come home! I would definitely recommend Kirsty and Liam to anyone.”
“Jessica was great! It was the first time we booked a stay for our dog Zuzu on Rover and he loved his holiday. Jess gave us updates with pictures all the time. We could see how well he was taken care of, going out for walks, getting all the cuddles and attention from the whole family. He had no sign of his usual separtion anxiety and just looked like he had a very good time during his ten days stay! Thanks Jessica :)”
“Margaret was fantastic with our nervous greyhound, Doddie. We had regular updates and photographs of his walks, which looked amazing in beautiful countryside. Before we left, after meeting Margaret ( with Doddie) at her home , I was confident that he was going to be well looked after. Obviously a caring, genuine dog lover and keen to make our boy relaxed.”
“Thank you for looking after bumble Fiona, we appreciated the photos and message. We have no doubt that she was well looked after and was obviously content in you home. We will be sure you use you again (if you'll have her lol) and wouldn't hesitate in recommending you to others”
