Can’t recommend John enough and would definitely trust him with Tacua again.”

“Photos sent, regular reports and a doggie taxi service to boot! A wonderful, 5 star dog boarding service at easily the most competitive prices on the net! My boys Toby and Jet came home refreshed, bathed and as keen and happy as I've ever seen them! Evidently this isn't about financial gain for Derek and Angela, this is ALL about caring for other people's pets and ensuring the dogs have a stress free and positive experience. I will never fret about leaving my boys again. A huge Thank You from me and the boys! We'll be back!”

“Monika was lovely - she clearly cares for the dogs with care & love. She even washed my dog blanket for me as my dog had been sick on it and as we were travelling we couldn’t do it ourselves. She sent me photos and I felt confident that the dogs were happy.”
“Jessica was wonderful with our nervous and slightly frail older dog. She made her very comfortable and kept us updated throughout our trip. She was also very patient and accomodating when we needed to change our pick up time, which we so appreciated. We'd leave our dog with Jessica again without any hesitation. Thank you!”
“What a fantastic person to look after your dog! Her set up is great with a fenced grassy area and a dog friendly house. She’s lives in a green area that is also great for the dogs. We felt that our dog was in safe hands and she gave really professional and reassuring daily updates. Her dog was really fun and well trained and got on well with Mij. I couldn’t recommend her more. Thank you.”

Wonderful communication and photos I would 100% recommend them to watch your dog, Roxy will definitely be going back to see them soon !!”

About: Hello, i’m Cait! I’m a huge cat lover with lifelong experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities. I currently have four cats of my own — two adult cats and two young kittens — so I’m very comfortable with everything from playful younger cats to understanding individual routines and needs. I grew up around cats and even love visiting cat cafes when travelling, so spending time with cats genuinely brings me joy. My experience comes from years of personally caring for cats rather than professionally, which has taught me how important patience, trust and respecting boundaries are. Every cat has their own personality and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for in their own space. Whether a cat is energetic and social or shy and independent, I’ll treat them as if they were one of my own while making sure their routine stays consistent and stress free.
“A huge thank you to Susan for taking such great care of our cat. She’s a real cat lover, and it was obvious from the way she looked after Nugget. Susan was kind, respectful, and kept us updated throughout the sit, which really helped ease my anxiety while we were away. It was so reassuring knowing our cat was in such caring and trustworthy hands. We’d happily trust Susan to look after our cat again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great cat sitter.”
“Daniel was excellent, responding very promptly to my last minute request. He came round ahead of the booking to meet Rosie and to ensure that he had all the information that he needed to care for her well while we were away. He spent time playing with her, as well as feeding her, and it was so reassuring for us to know that she was in such good hands. He's a lovely person, who I have no hesitation in recommending or using again!”
About: I have five cats of my own, so caring for pets is a big part of my everyday life. They’re all boys and all very different, so I’m used to different personalities, routines, and giving each pet the care and attention they need. I’m comfortable with automatic litter boxes, pet feeders, and water fountains, and I know how important it is to keep everything clean, topped up, and running properly. Looking after my own cats has made me patient, reliable, and very aware of the little things that help pets feel safe, settled, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and grew up with a family dog from the time I was 8 into adulthood. I developed a love for caring for his needs, which lead to becoming passionate and taking initiative about his training. The more involved I was, the more I wanted to learn and deepen my understanding and care for animals, from bathing, training, different breeds and their behaviours, and overall care. Over the years, I’ve looked after a wide variety of pets for friends and family, from playful puppies to senior companions. In 2019, my husband and I welcomed an elderly dog with high anxiety and specific dietary needs, and we were able to give him lots of love, comfort, patience, and stability during his final years. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, and I truly enjoy giving them the love and attention that helps them feel safe and happy while their people are away. If that means long walks, playtime, sticking to special routines, or simply offering quiet companionship, I adapt my care to what each pet needs most. I’m reliable, detail oriented, and will always treat your pets like members of my own family. I also know how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos to keep you connected. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. As a full-time homemaker, I have the flexibility to give your pet plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the week and weekends. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, so you can feel confident they’ll have company and comfort while you’re away. I have a secure, fully fenced back garden where dogs can safely play and relax. Our home is calm, comfortable, and family orientated. We have a gentle 6 year old child who has grown up learning how to be kind and respectful to animals. We’re lucky to have beautiful walking paths, forest trails, and safe ‘off-lead’ areas nearby, perfect for exercise and adventure, depending on your dog’s comfort and recall. I also have a car and am happy to drive for walks or home visits, so your pet can enjoy a change of scenery or a favourite spot. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine, making sure they feel settled, safe, and loved whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them in their own home.

I have also cared and loved them for my whole life and still go back to my family home to see them and look after them. I have great care for cat’s and have a genuine love and passion for them.
“Kayla did a great job looking after Midnight! We received regular updates and photos/videos, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. Midnight seemed very relaxed and well-cared for when we returned. We’ll definitely be booking Kayla again!”
About: I’ve taken care of my dog ( Shiba-retriever mix, weighs 20 kg) since when I was 10. I have dog/cat sitting experiences in Japan, the U.S., and Scotland. I’m currently on Christmas break from school but working in dairy farm in the mornings. My availability changes weekly basis, so please get in touch to figure out schedule that works for both of us. I’ll make sure that your pets enjoy the time at the same time protecting other community members’ safety. I get used to handle dogs that are afraid of people as I’ve worked in the field of shelter medicine, too.
“We cannot ask for a better cat sitter than Allie for our 3 fluffy boys while we were on holiday, including giving our cat Oscar his insulin injection twice a day. Allie sent us regular updates and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was always responsive to any questions we had, and it was clear that our cats felt completely at ease with her. Knowing they were in such safe hands made our trip all the more enjoyable. If you are looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter, I cannot recommend Allie enough.”

“We feel like the luckiest family ever to have found these two wonderful, caring ladies to look after our baby. They love her as much as we do and we really feel so relieved knowing she is not only being very carefully looked after but being shown the love they show their own beautiful dogs. We absolutely love that we get hand written daily schedules with little cute notes and advice, also a score of how good Orla has been(only ever 10’s so far!) hehe but it’s just another thoughtful thing they do to show us how much the care. We are so lucky they really know how to train dogs too and are helping us massively by training Orla too! We get lots of pics, videos and messages throughout the day to keep us in the loop and it’s brilliant seeing Orla have a great day. We honestly can’t believe how lucky we are having two new aunties and 3 new cousins for our Orla. Highly highly recommend Ginevra & her partner to look after your furry babies.”
“Charles spent the whole day with Naomi and her adorable furry family yesterday. Her calm nature put me at ease as soon as we arrived in the morning, I knew straight away Charles would be in great hands. You can tell she is a dog person and really knows their needs. I highly recommend Naomi’s services. 😊”
“Katie was absolutely amazing with our dog. She maintained great communication and was super flexible. Our dog clearly loved spending the day with her as on the second day she ran straight in without a second glance!”
“Monika was great with our anxious labradoodle. Photos of the day's activities were sent which was reassuring. Ivy had a good day with a big walk and plenty running around, then some relaxation time on the sofa. Looking forward to more stays at Monika's”
“Very happy with the care Selkie received. Claire was great with communications, and very patient when I had problems with the Rover app while abroad. Would absolutely deal with Claire again.”
“Kirsty was so accommodating and looked after my dog so well, she kept me up to date and sent me lots of photos of my dog having such a lovely time, which was so reassuring.”
“Rekha is just amazing, my little cooper just adores her and her lovely dog Nuba. He had just first sleep over at her house and you can tell she made it really comfortable for him. Cooper loves going to her house, so much so, when we try and bring him home, he wants to stay! Would definitely recommend. ❤️”
“Derek and Angela’s care of Scooby and Whiffer was second to none! Incredible communication all day from Derek - they both so obviously love dogs and we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them most highly!”
About: I was a dog walker for around 2 years pre covid. I love all breeds and sizes of dogs! My partner and son who I live with share my love for dogs.. thankfully! I am a self employed cleaner in houses around my street, I will always be close to home. We are an outdoor loving family (son goes to outdoor nursery) and are always going on walks in the fields behind us/woods around our town. *please note, we are located in the EH22 postcode area* I have a fenced back garden and I have space for a dog crate if need be. Pets can be fed inside or outside, whichever is preferred. My partner Michael, who can be seen in my profile picture, will be home with myself when caring for your pet. He's also a pet lover who is brilliant at giving ear and belly rubs. If your pet is up to it, they can have a go in his work van!
About: Hello, I'm Ewa I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by them, and in Poland I have three dogs of my own – two small and one medium-sized. Since moving to the UK, I miss them very much, so spending time with dogs here brings me real happiness. Looking after dogs has always been a natural part of my life. I've cared for my own dogs as well as dogs belonging to family and friends. I enjoy long walks, playtime and quiet moments too. Every dog is different, so I always take the time to understand their routine and make them feel safe and comfortable. I offer dog walking, home visits, daycare and care in my own home. I live in a quiet flat with access to a large shared garden. To make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, I only welcome one dog at a time (or two from the same household). I have very flexible working hours, so I can easily find time for walks with your pet. Sometimes I have to go away for a few weeks on business, but I think that everything can be arranged and adjusted. I make sure every pet is safe, comfortable and well cared for. I always follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding and walking routines. I live in a tenement with access to a large garden, where dogs can enjoy fresh air under supervision. I also provide regular walks, attention and a calm, pet-friendly environment. I treat every pet with care and make sure they feel relaxed and secure.
“Buddy had a great time with Zi Ling. I was a bit nervous about leaving him, she greeted us with a friendly welcome and sent updates. Thanks for looking after him so well, look forward to the next time.”
“Celeste took great care of our energetic spaniel for the day as a ‘tester’ for longer stays in the future. Bella was very pleased to meet Celeste’s dog and i had no concerns leaving her. I came to collect her to find her very content after lots of keeping everyone company and a good walk. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Celeste to others and have already booked Bella’s next stay! Thanks again to Celeste and her family.”
About: I am a deaf Scottish bikepacker with a love of dogs and cats. I have a mixed chocolate Labrador dog named Molly back home in Edinburgh, who is very lovable with a huge personality. I also had a cat called Socks who used to love coming on walks with me and the dog through the park and up the Braid Hills. Over the past year since I started providing my services I have looked after a cat for a family on holiday, a spaniel puppy for a couple, and I looked after my neighbour's two labrador dogs Zephyr and Pyrrha for a month house-sitting while my neighbour was away on holiday. So I have experience house-sitting at someone else's place. I am flexible when it comes to short-term or long-term arrangements, with different breeds and range of ages from puppy to elderly. I have also had experience and the ability to handle larger dogs such as Irish Wolfhounds, such as during my bike-packing adventures through Ireland. I find that animals are naturally drawn to me and feel easy going with me. I am very observant of dogs' body language, and I wear a hearing aid so I am able to hear if that's the case. I am a bikepacker currently at home, not travelling at the moment. As I move to a different location, if I am travelling, I usually update where I am as I normally stay in an area for 3-7 days. I provide pet care as a way to make some extra income while I travel. Very flexible with the duration of time staying at a pet owner's house. Possibly long-term of multiple months, with daily pet care (multiple walks, exercise, treats, wash/baths). Dogs and cats are naturally drawn to me and almost always approach me in public. I am very laidback and easygoing but I can be firm when needed to be. Capable of handling large dogs such as Irish Wolfhounds, as i have experience walking them. I am 6ft4 and strong enough to keep Irish Wolfhounds heeled. Since I am deaf, I am very observant. Though I do wear hearing aids and am able to hear dog and cat sounds (barks, whining, meowing etc), I rely more on my visual skills, so this enables me to develop a good rapport with the animals I care for. I am very attentive to the needs of pets in my care, and I will ensure they look to me for guidance.
“Liam was able to look after my dog, Robin, yesterday from 9:30am to 4:30pm at very short notice, which I was incredibly grateful for. The booking was only made the night before due to some last-minute plans, and Liam was very accommodating throughout. When I first booked, I could only provide rough timings and Liam was happy for me to confirm and slightly adjust them later, which made the whole process much less stressful. Unfortunately, we didn't have time for a meet and greet beforehand but thankfully Robin and Liam's dog, Clyde, got on really well from the start. It certainly seemed like Robin had a fantastic day with them, spending time in their big garden but especially enjoying a walk and even a wander around Dobbies! Liam kept me updated with plenty of photos, which was very reassuring, and he also included them in the Rover Card. As an anxious dog owner, I really appreciated the regular updates and communication. Liam was friendly, welcoming, and immediately put me at ease. I would definitely recommend Liam and family to others, and if we're ever in the area again, I wouldn't hesitate to book with him.”
“Archie had had a fantastic time with Guilia and she is a very considerate person. I am very glad I met her and recommend her for your dog care. Thank you for all the help.”

I wake up early and can stay up late if needed to make sure your pets are comfortable, settled, and cared for at all times. Whether your pet needs plenty of exercise, regular routines, or just companionship throughout the day, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and schedule. As a pet owner myself with both a dog and a cat, I understand the responsibility, patience, and attention that goes into caring for animals properly. I’m confident handling feeding routines, walks, playtime, crate training, and following household rules to make sure your pets stay comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’m active, patient, and love spending time with animals — whether that means energetic playtime or simply relaxing and keeping them company. I’ll always treat your pets with kindness, respect, and the same level of care I’d want for my own animals
About: I’m a genuine dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs for friends and family, including walking, feeding, and keeping them company while owners are away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic dogs who enjoy longer walks to older or more relaxed dogs who prefer a gentler pace. I enjoy being outdoors, so dog walking fits naturally into my routine, and I always make sure dogs are well cared for and given plenty of exercise. I understand how important trust is when choosing a sitter, so I’m happy to meet beforehand and will send regular photo updates while you’re away. I work Monday–Friday, with working from home on Tuesdays and Fridays, which allows me to be flexible for dog visits and walks during the day. On these days, I’m available to pop in for walks or check-ins during lunch breaks or before starting work. I finish early at 2:30pm on Fridays, so I’m also available for longer afternoon walks and extra care time. I’m also happy to work from the owner’s home where suitable, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. I will care for your pet in your home, following their usual routine to help minimise stress and keep them comfortable. I always take time to understand each pet’s individual needs and any house rules to ensure everything is done correctly and safely. I’m also happy to arrange a meet & greet beforehand with you and your pet to discuss routines, preferences, and any specific instructions.

“Jemma and Keira welcomed our dogs into their home and made it a home from home while we were away. They took them on doggy adventures above and beyond expectations. They were both well looked after.”
“Photos sent, regular reports and a doggie taxi service to boot! A wonderful, 5 star dog boarding service at easily the most competitive prices on the net! My boys Toby and Jet came home refreshed, bathed and as keen and happy as I've ever seen them! Evidently this isn't about financial gain for Derek and Angela, this is ALL about caring for other people's pets and ensuring the dogs have a stress free and positive experience. I will never fret about leaving my boys again. A huge Thank You from me and the boys! We'll be back!”
“Clara looked after my dog Chispa very well. Chispa is a rescue dog and can become anxious when left alone. Clara sent photos of Chispa at home and out for a walk where she looked very happy.”
“Claire was absolutely brilliant with Neville. We have already booked his next stay and would recommend to anyone looking for a home from home for their pup. Claire sent loads of pictures and updates and we were really put at ease that our dog was being very well looked after.”
“Amazing! Jennifer was great at communicating from start to finish, which made everything really easy and reassuring. I felt completely comfortable leaving Beau overnight, and he was safe, well looked after and happy to gets lots of cuddles. I'd definitely book again and highly recommend Jennifer!”
About: Ive had 2 dogs for the last 17yrs . Of which we had 2 litters from . I adored the whole journey from puppy to seniors all come with different challenges and demands but Sooo rewarding to have relationships and experiences together. Since my 2 dogs have passed find myself caring for friends and family's pets .. so it seems the natural order to board for those who dont have that facility. I love having the company of dogs in my home. Gets me out exploring our beautiful walks . I am at home most days although I have an art workshop close by so can often be found there. In which case the dogs come with me and have space to raom there securely too. So I am around for enjoying each other's company and there for treats cuddles and toilet breaks . I live in a home with both front and back garden both fully enclosed . Although I do like to make use of our many gorgeous walks locally so aren't stuck in one place all day. I can offer a crate for your dog to sleep in if required although happily have them loose if they prefer.
“Jessica was wonderful with our nervous and slightly frail older dog. She made her very comfortable and kept us updated throughout our trip. She was also very patient and accomodating when we needed to change our pick up time, which we so appreciated. We'd leave our dog with Jessica again without any hesitation. Thank you!”

Wonderful communication and photos I would 100% recommend them to watch your dog, Roxy will definitely be going back to see them soon !!”

“Our dog Pablo had a great time with Nicole. From the moment we met, it was clear how caring and reliable she is with animals. I was kept up to date with regular updates and photos, and they had a lovely time walking and playing in the park and at home. Pablo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after. Will definitely be booking another stay soon!”
