Personalised care for your dog or cat - Moray

“Arkadiusz was incredibly communicative and shared plenty of photos during my dog’s stay at his home and while out on walks. His kind approach and friendly nature made me feel completely at ease, and I’m confident that my dog was well cared for and looked after. I’d be more than happy to leave my dog with Arkadiusz again in the future.”

About: Laura and I have had dogs all our lives. We routinely dog sit for friends and family. We understand how challenging it can be to have a reliable carer for your dog that you can trust, allowing you to make the most of your time away. Having 3 dogs of varying ages (Axl (15), Chess (12) and Louie (4)), we know how important it is to be flexible in catering to your dog's specific requirements, whether that be medications, toilet routine, exercise or training. Although Chris doesn't hold formal qualification, he is something of a dog whisperer and can use some of the time with your dog to work on specific aspects of obedience with prior agreement. Our baby, TJ, was a 2025 addition to the family and has grown up around our dogs. Naturally, we could not board dogs with a history of agression towards other pets or humans/children. Daily routine - awake 0700-0730, breakfast 0800, dinner 1700, taken outside at 1 - 2 hour intervals throughout the day, short walk around lunchtime, longer walk in the afternoon (dog dependent), bedtime around 2230. Laura and I are currently balancing parental leave and part-time WFH, so there will always be at least one of us at home, if we're not out on a walk. We have a huge (0.25 acre) enclosed grass garden, ideal for training off-lead walking and recall. We are lucky to have locally accessible fields suitable for both on and off lead walks, depending on recall. If your dog travels well, local beaches and forests make for exciting longer adventures.

About: My family still have our 15 year old bearded collie and we lost our 12 year old German Shepherd January this year. I miss the long walks, trail runs and company. I recently moved to my own home and would love the opportunity to look after someone’s pooch and get them / me out and about! I work full time during the week so unable to offer anything weekdays. I finish work by 3pm on a Friday. I think I’d be perfect for those away for the weekend but looking for someone to care for their fur baby! I have an unfenced garden that is shared, I can close the gate at the main driveway and I’d ensure I pop a lead on before opening the entrance door to be extra cautious… I’d do the same for my own dog.

“If dogs could talk I’m sure Kali wouldn’t stop telling us what a ball she had while she was away. I almost think she’s sad to be home. Erin was a real home from home for us. She was very accommodating with a last minute booking and was very flexible with drop offs and pick ups. We were kept up to date with Kali everyday with lots of pictures and videos every evening which was great to see how much fun our girl was having. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Kali in here again. She was clearly very loved and cared for. Think Kali is counting the days until we go away again so she can come back 😂. Thank you Erin for taking the best care of our big dafty. X”

“Ashleigh just looked after my dog for 2 nights - this was the first time she's ever been away from us so we hade no idea what to expect / how she'd cope. Ashleigh took great care of her and was very tuned in to what she needed ad kept me updated. great success and much relief for us. We'll definitely arrange more :-)”

About: We're Steph and James a family living in the countryside with one teenager and one friendly dog named Jack. We have a very large garden and many country walks on our doorstep. We work from home so someone is always here to look after your best friend. We both work from home so have plenty of time to head out on adventure walks. We have a teenager that adores animals also and has lots of energy after school to play in the garden with your pet. We take it in turns doing the school run so there is always someone at home. We have a large garden that is fenced in with a stream that runs down one side. We have plenty or room in our office space including a sofa. So your pet never has to be alone. Jack is a very loving and friendly and relax boy. Who get on very well with all other dogs.

“We had not used a dog boarding service before and were quite apprehensive about leaving our Cocker Spaniel, Keira, with a stranger for two weeks. However, after our initial visit to meet Kerry and her own pets we felt more at ease and happy that Keira would be able to settle down with her new friends and family. During our holiday Kerry responded to our messages promptly and kept us informed about Keira’s integration into her new surroundings. I would say that Keira was made very welcome and possibly even spoiled by Kerry and her family so, she would have felt very comfortable in her new “home”. I can highly recommend Kerry as a dog boarder and would have no hesitation in using her services again. Thank you so much for looking after our precious pup. William”

About: Hello, I’m Naomi, a 28-year-old Veterinary Nurse with a lifelong passion for animals. Choosing someone to care for your pet is a big decision, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. As a Veterinary Nurse, I have extensive experience caring for animals of all ages, breeds, temperaments, and medical needs. I share my life with a dog of my own, so I know that pets are family. Whether your pet loves long walks, gentle strolls, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll tailor their care to suit their individual personality and routine. My professional background means I’m confident administering medication, monitoring health and wellbeing, recognising signs of illness, and caring for senior pets or those with additional needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated as if they were my own—with plenty of love, attention, enrichment, and care. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing your best friend is in safe hands. I like to call them “pupdates”. I’d love to meet you and your pet and discuss how I can provide a happy, safe, and caring home-from-home experience while you’re away. 🐾 Feel free to get in touch—I look forward to meeting your furry family member! I work full-time as a Veterinary Nurse at a Veterinary practice in Inverness but I am available almost every weekend, and depending on my shift pattern, I can also provide evening care. I have a spacious, fenced garden, perfect for your pet to explore and play in. Our home is located in a rural area, providing a safe environment. We also have a Labrador with a wonderful temperament who has been raised with other dogs. He is crate trained and enjoys the freedom to move in and out of his crate as he pleases, making him a great companion for another dog.

“Sandra did a lovely job caring for Morgan for 3 nights. She sent an update on the first day with photos which was very reassuring. Morgan looked happy and healthy when picked up. I would highly recommend Sandra.”

I now do dog walking and pet pop ins and occasional house sitting as my full time job. I have 3 giant breed dogs of my own who range up to 70kg so i have a lot of hands on experience from the smallest dogs to the biggest ones. have a wide range of availability throughout the week and weekends, making it easy to fit around your schedule. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I always follow your instructions, keep things clean and calm, and treat every animal like my own.

“Sarah is just lovely, and our cats clearly think so too, as they came out to see her every time she came to visit, which is not like them at all. They are not keen on incomers. She had kindly fed them, poop scooped and spent time with them, as we had asked. And she sent some lovely photos (not of the poop scooping😹) which showed they were happy with her. Which is alll that matters to us... We were happy to leave our girls in her care and will be happy do so again in the future. Thankyou from us and Flora and Kiara xx ❤️😍💙😁”

“Sabrina was fantastic it was so great knowing she was there a couple of times a day to look after our furry one - Shadow cat - whilst we were away. It let us relax knowing he was in a loving and great pair of hands. Highly recommend.”

About: Growing up with cats, I learned quickly to respect their independence and sass. They have a wonderful elegance I have the utmost respect for I am a qualified veterinary nurse and am happy to care for all your cats needs including feeding, cleaning litter trays, grooming if they struggle to do this themselves medicate with pills and any other meds they need. Mental stimulation is also really important, I love playing with cats and watching them chase toys on strings around.

“I used Chris and Laura's Doggy Day Care and Sitting service for the first time today, and they were absolutely brilliant. They kept me well informed about how Chewy was getting on throughout the day, spent lots of time walking him, and worked on his recall and off-lead training. It was clear that they genuinely care about the dogs in their care and put a lot of effort into helping them learn and have fun. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I will definitely be a returning customer. Thank you both for taking such great care of Chewy! Kylie”

About: I have loved dogs since I was a child. I had a characterful fox terrier that required a lot of work. Patience and consistency made my dog ​​behave every day. Which made our bond even stronger. Currently, I do not have a dog due to trips to my family in Poland. However, I could help during your trip, and I promise that your pet will receive a lot of love, care and attention from me. I work full time. I have Sundays and Mondays off. I work in the mornings. So I have a lot of free time in the afternoon to take care of your pet. I have a cat at home who is very friendly to other cats and dogs. I don't have a garden, but there are forests very close that allow for safe walks

“Sarah has walked Luna a few times and Luna has always been happy and well looked after during the walks. I would trust Sarah in my property and with Luna anytime.”

About: I have always enjoyed being outdoors from a young age, no matter the weather and I have a passion for animals and nature, so why not combine the 2? I had 3 dogs and they meant the world to me, so i understand how important it is to take good care of pets, even more so when I'm looking after yours! I'm caring, kind and understanding - every pet has their own personality and I can't wait to meet them. I'm currently working part-time so I will have ample opportunity to care for and look after your pets. I have a flexible schedule so i can work around your pets needs. I will look after your pet in your home and treat it as if it were mine - well looked after and with care and attention.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since a child, ranging from young to old, bouncy to quiet. I work in a care environment and I love to care for dogs! I currently work Monday-Thursday 8-5 and Friday 8-13:30. I can sit your house over night and pop in over lunchtime (I have an hour lunchtime) I like to meet and get to know each dog before hand, understand what they like to do, their favourite places and get to know their environment. I think it’s important for them to feel at home, relaxed and safe while their special ones are away.

About: Reliable pet care for dogs, cats and other companion animals. I can offer walks, drop-ins, and sitting visits. I aim to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible, especially when it comes to nervous/anxious animals who need a calm environment. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to follow instructions closely so your pet keeps their normal routine. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and check-ins. I can also send updates and photos so you know how things are going.🐾 I can be adaptable to the needs of the owner as I have plenty of time available to fit pet care needs into my daily routine. Pets can stay in the comfort of their own home while their owner is away and I will care for them like they are my own. I will ensure to meet any specific care needs & make sure that they are kept happy & content while their owners are away.

About: Growing up with cats and a dog, I have had an offinaty to dogs for most of my life, perhaps why I became a veterinary nurse. This career has given me a great deal of skills in caring for many species. I also know that dogs are family members, and I would care for yours and I do mine. I am happy to groom, clean, play and walk your fur baby, I am also able and happy to medicate if applicable. I have also completed a Canine behaviour course so I am able to recognise and manage various common behavioural traits I work 4 days a week, Tues-Friday. Therefore I am available all day on a Monday if you need a walker/sitter then or at the weekends. I do have my own pup, but I wouldn't walk together as I know not all dogs like each other I am happy to have a chat about your pets personal needs and act accordingly, routine is so important, so I would do my best to keep to a similar one as best as possible.
