About: Our names are Tess and Sean and we are lifelong dog-lovers, having grown up and cared for family dogs. We don't currently have a dog but take every opportunity to spend time with family and friends' dogs. We work from home throughout the week and have flexible working schedules. We would love a four-legged friend for walks, house sitting and drop ins. Your dog will have a safe and loving care within your home or on a walk. We know the Edinburgh area inside and out and would be happy to talk with you about your dog care needs.

About: I have a pet cat of my own named Loki he is 6 year old tabby cat looked after since he was 4 weeks old, I help out my aunt and cousin with their dogs Rufus and Murphy and my aunr looks after a diluted Calico cat I work Monday to Friday but always happy for a weekend walk with the dogs or after work although not scheduled for those times I can do them In my own home the cat smudge is 19 so elderly I have given her ways to climb up without hurting her back end, I let her ride on my back when she wishes and make sure she is fed plenty with 2-3 packets of meat and a bowl of biscuits a day

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and completely understand how much they become part of the family. My journey with dogs began at age 10 when we welcomed Lexy, a chocolate Labrador, into our home. A few years later, Buster the springer spaniel joined us. They were total opposites—Lexy was calm and gentle, while Buster has always been full of energy! Looking after them both taught me how to be patient, attentive and adaptable to different needs and personalities. Sadly, we lost Lexy a few years ago, but Buster is still going strong at 11 and keeps me on my toes. I’ve also pet-sat for family friends over the years, caring for dogs, cats, horses, sheep, and even chickens. I’m confident handling animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. Spending time with animals is something I find incredibly calming and fulfilling. I love walking and being outdoors, and it’s always more enjoyable with a furry friend by my side. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch or a muddy adventure in the woods, I aim to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I currently work 3 days a week and every other weekend, but the great thing is that I finish my shifts by 1:30pm, so I’m free all afternoon and evening for pet care. That gives me loads of time to give your pets the attention and company they need whether it’s a long walk, playtime in the garden, or just being there to keep them calm and content while you're out. I offer a caring and safe environment with plenty of experience handling animals of all sizes and temperaments. I'm happy to follow any routine or accommodations your pet needs to make sure they feel secure and well looked after. I understand the importance pets have to us and truly are part of the family and I always treat every animal as if they were my own.

“Johari looked after our cat Luna for two nights and did a great job. I got sent regular updates, she was reliable and we came home to a very happy cat and spotless home :) I’d be very happy to have Johari look after Luna again!”
