About: I’m a kind and compassionate pet owner and lover who loves spending time with my horse and dog going on big hacks with my dog along side and would adore your pet the same! I currently work full time 8am-8pm however, very flexible only doing this 3x a week. However, this changes often and can accommodate from month to month. I have a lot of responsibility with my pets. My dog is walked 2x big walks a day with my horse also being fed and groomed and ridden everyday also!
“I do not have all the words to describe how happy i am with Kevinjon. He treated my 2 cats as if they were his home while he watched them. They got fed, watered, cuddled and played with. I was worried they would be anxious and stressed but nope they were so content and happy. I recommend Kevinjon 100%. Thank you again Kevinjon”
About: I grew up loving dogs from a very young age, often volunteering to walk my neighbours dogs whenever I could. Since then I have pointed my career in the direction where I can offer services to other people’s pets as I understand trusting a stranger with your animals can be extremely difficult. I work in a vet practice and am currently studying an advanced certification in canine behaviour. I’m up to date with first aid for pets and confident when dealing with emergencies. I can provide FaceTime calls, regular updates and photos of your pets! I have four very amazing dogs myself which I trained. Arlo is a Dutch herder and full of beans, at four years old I have to make sure he is kept active! He loves swimming on the weekends, climbing up some Munros and annoying his older brother Delta! Delta is a German shepherd and has a heart of gold. His favourite thing to do in the whole world is swim in the sea and loves to go camping! He has a rather unusual obsession with rocks which started when he was a puppy.. but he continues to make myself and everyone else laugh as he will do anything to try and bring one home. I have another Dutch shepherd Moose who would literally hang the moon and stars out himself if it meant seeing other people happy, this boy just radiates happiness! And Toula who is my newest addition, she is a Belgian malinois and has to be the most affectionate dog ever, she’d love to travel anywhere she could on my shoulders… if it was possible! I absolutely adore animals and I’ll always find myself around them more than people. I have experience working with more “challenging” dogs that tend to have different behavioural preferences, I’ve worked closely with the training and assessment of police dogs and hope to set up my own behaviour/training business by the end of the year. Please do not hesitate to get in touch ❤️ I currently work full time in a vet practice but I am available on the weekends or after working hours. I often take the dogs to the beach, lochs, new field or to climb a Munro on the weekends. I would be able to offer more availability if given enough notice as I can take time off work, I’m also available to attend before or after working hours! I understand leaving your pets with someone you don’t know can be very unsettling, I can provide valid references, FaceTime calls, pupdates and photos of your pets on a regular basis. i also understand owners may not want their dog to be given treats, walked for too long or taught different habits so I am always more than happy to do as the owner requests with full trust and confidence that I can give your animals the best care/adventures as possible.
“Tess looked after Freddie on two of my office days this week and was fantastic. Communication was excellent, she was always on time, and I received lovely photo updates throughout. Freddie clearly had a great time! I’d happily recommend Tess to friends and would absolutely rely on her again whenever Freddie needs care 😊”

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have always loved caring for them. I’ve looked after guinea pigs, cats for neighbours and friends, and lots of family dogs. With dogs, I’ve cared for both energetic pups who enjoy long walks and adventures, as well as older dogs who need shorter, gentler outings. Lately, I’ve been walking a border collie a few times a week, taking them to the park and the beach. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’m self-employed and can choose my days, which means my schedule is very flexible. I’m free most days of the week and can adjust easily to your pet’s needs — whether that’s regular toilet breaks, feeding times, or long walks. I take care of pets by following the owner’s instructions for food, walks, and any meds. I give them attention and playtime, keep everything clean, and watch to make sure they’re happy and healthy. I also let the owner know how they’re doing.
