“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.”
“Contacted Anne Marie for home boarding for our 10 year old lhasa apso for our recent trip. A lovely lady who was enthusiastic, caring and affectionate towards our wee dog. She kept us advised of his progress during the 2 weeks we were away, as this was the first time we had left him with someone we didn't know. When we came back he was very happy to see us and we knew that she had cared for him ever so well. I am happy to recommend Anne Marie to anyone who needs their dog looked after.”
“Lauren looked after Mazey for 2 nights and did a brilliant job. She updated me regularly and took her lots of lovely walks. I know Mazey was in safe and caring hands and want to thank Lauren for being so thoughtful and kind.”
“Absolutely fantastic boarder. Could not recommend Kirsty enough, nothing was a hassle and Peanut had the best time. Lots of pictures and updates ! He looked like he had the best time and I will absolutely use Kirsty in the future. Think Peanut enjoyed his holiday more than i did !! Thanks you Kirsty.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
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.
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.
“A massive thank you to Olha & Huzi. For looking after Kai. For Kai's age and condition they showed him the love from the minute we introduced them. Was updated regularly with photos included, of which Kai didnt look out of place. Nothing was a hassle to them. Would recommend highly and use again.”
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.

About: I have had dogs since I was a child and have experience with different breeds of dogs. I live minutes away from outdoor areas where the dogs can explore. As for puppies I am available 24 hours a day to reach there needs I am, available to work my schedule around the needs of any of the dogs that would be in my care. Either myself or my partner would be available at any time required. I have a comfortable spacious flat with space to play or have private time for the dog to have a time out from playing. As for overnight boarding we will provide comfy dog beds for furry friends. Crates would only be used if requested by the owners. I’m sure your furry friends would enjoy a stay at Wendy’s.

“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!”

We've spent many years caring for a variety of family pets and have experience with animals of different temperaments and care requirements.

My wife, Kirsty, also works in a pet shop, where she has developed practical experience supporting the health and wellbeing of many different animals.

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. While working towards my degree, I looked after my grandparents' and sisters' cats any chance I got. I also helped at a pet rescue as a socialiser for cats afraid of people.
“Dannii provided a reliable and professional service for our 7 month old kitten Rosie. She visited us to meet Rosie and we showed her where everything would be in terms of food/cat litter supplies. We booked Dannii for 8 visits in total, she is is quick to respond to messages and as first time users of "Cat in a Flat" we enjoyed the report cards of each visit where she wrote about Rosie and added new pictures from each visit. Dannii provided an excellent service to Rosie and cared and played with her at each visit. When we returned home Rosie was her usual happy, relaxed and playful self which we feel is a strong sign of the excellent care she received from Dannii. We would highly recommend Dannii and we would book her for cat sitting again in the future.”

About: Along with taking care of my family dog for over 10 years, I have just completed my veterinarian degree. As I wait to find a job, I would love to spend my extra time with your furry friends, whether that is on a walk, playing inside, or cuddling up on the couch. Currently job hunting, so very flexible to do that anywhere. Whether after going on a walk with your dog, or while cuddling your cat, my hours are flexible. I think it is essential to make sure that your dog gets time outside (if you agree) whether it's a walk down the road, playing in your backyard or going somewhere in the woods. I make it a priority to make sure I give dogs and cats plently of fun stimulation while sitting. In addition, when I am with your pet they have my full attention. I love cuddles or playing with toys and I most definitely talk to them as if they are a human hanging out with me:)

Each visit includes full care and thorough check-ins—feeding, fresh water, litter maintenance, playtime and a gentle wellbeing check to ensure your cat is safe, settled and content. I’m also happy to carry out small household tasks such as collecting post, adjusting lighting or ensuring your home is secure while you’re away.

About: Hi, I'm Lauren, I'm 23, a recent Master's graduate who loves running, hill-walking and a cosy movie-night. So, no matter your pet's temperament, I can meet them where they're at!

About: I have been fortunate to grow up around many different animals and I couldn’t imagine not having animals in my life. I regularly look after cats and dogs for friends and family while they are on holiday. I have experience with many different animals, for example I worked abroad teaching horse riding. I currently own a rescue dog who was nervous of people and dogs which has given me extensive knowledge with reactive dogs and I have completed training on this. I have had and currently have animals that require medication so I ensure all pet care requirements are met. Animals are my passion and I follow this up with different courses such as canine massage therapy. I want to help people provide the best care to their dogs and any others pets. I currently work full-time but have quite a lot of holidays from work throughout the year. I would be available after 5pm on weekdays and anytime weekends. If you require a different time please message as we may be able to arrange a time. As I have experience with reactive dogs I understand body language well and will ensure the safety of your dog when out on walks. I am happy to follow any rules or guidance you have when visiting your home and looking after your dog.

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.

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: Having gained a level 2 and 3 in animal care and management, and then a BSc (Hons) in Animal behaviour and welfare, I have worked with various species of animals from cats and dogs to horses, sheep, pigs, bearded dragons, geckos, and multiple aquatic animals of the like. I have been an animal management and care specialist for a HE college, then moved to a veterinary specialist hospital as a technician. I have now turned to human nursing post covid. I currently work as a nurse, from 0830 till 5 pm Monday to Friday, I am free nearly every weekend. I am more than happy to have your furry child over night or to look in on them after work or on weekends. Having an open-plan flat, the rooms are filled with natural light; CCTV will be an option, but daily updates will be included as standard. I will insist on password pickup (you and I agree on a secret password if someone other than the person who drops them off is picking them up). If visiting your home, I will be wearing body-worn CCTV and will text or video chat during my visit to ensure that you are aware that I have attended to your goodest boy/girl.

“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Anna was very friendly, competent, and cared well for our golden retriever. She knows how to be the leader of the pack, as our dog is happy to take the lead, if he's not put in his position! I will use her services again. She communicated by text very efficiently, and sent us regular updates of our wee dog. I would recommend you use her services!”
“Would highly recommend Julie to everyone! She truly cares for your dog as her own and keeps us updated with their daily adventures. Biscuit loves her little holidays, and would never stay anywhere else!”
“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!”
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.

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.

“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!”
About: Hi there! I’m an active, lifelong dog owner and remote worker, meaning your pup will have dedicated companionship, plenty of attention, and a fun, structured routine throughout the day. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I offer dog walking and dog sitting services tailored to keep your pet happy, safe, and well-exercised. Because I work remotely, I’m home for the vast majority of the day and can easily accommodate drop-in potty breaks, feeding schedules, mid-day playtime, and regular outdoor walks. Aside from my remote work, my main hobbies are playing football and practicing martial arts. My active lifestyle means I have plenty of energy for longer walks, games of fetch, or energetic outdoor sessions if your dog loves to move. If your dog prefers cuddling on the couch while I work, they’ll have a quiet, comfortable space to relax right by my side. You can rest easy knowing your dog is receiving attentive, experienced, and trustworthy care while you’re away. I treat every dog in my care with the same patience, love, and effort as my own! I work full time remotely from home. I can have the dogs out for walks every couple of hours with or without my own dog present. I live beside a large park so have plenty of space for exercise. I have a fenced garden which your dog will have open access to all day as I work from my conservatory. I’m fine with the dogs being on couch and bed or have have them held in crate if needed. Completely flexible.
