Cat Sitting in Scottish Borders

“Laura (and David) took excellent care of our cat Callie while staying at our home. Callie has higher energy levels than a lot of cats, yet she is totally happy and at ease with them. It's so nice being able to go away and know she is with attentive, experienced sitters. Can't recommend enough!”

“Eva has been a wonderful dog sitter for my shih-poo since he was a puppy and has provided outstanding service ever since. She is reliable and loves him like her own, I always know that he will be safe, loved, well taken care of and active when I leave him in Eva's care. She is a wonderful person, I can't recommend Eva enough!”

“Kevin was amazing looked after my 2 cats so well kept me informed how they was sent pictures and was very polite came out to introduce himself will definitely be booking with him again thanks Kevin”

“Catherine and James looked after our dog Tessa in our own house and we were extremely happy with the service and can absolutely recommend. Very straight forward with texts, messages and arrangements. Will definitely be using again.”

“Maddie is very caring and trust worthy and amazing with our spaniel. This is the third time she has looked after our dog and we always come home to clean and tidy house and a very happy Buster.”

“Milo was very happy and contented after 3 days of visits from Jasmin. Would recommend for cat visits, feeds and tlc.”

“I first left my beautiful long-haired retriever with Amy for three days while I was away on business. He had never been left before and I approached it with a degree of trepidation. Her welcome was the first thing that put me at my ease. More than that, my dog, Socrates, immediately took her. Amy is clearly someone with a natural affinity for dogs of all kinds. She filled me with such confidence that I have used her services for dog walking and boarding numerous times since. Amy herself is personable and relatable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to all dog owners.”

“Amazing, amazing , amazing!! You can tell these girls love dogs and took care of our 2 very well!! Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again”

“Maddy was really lovely, we got home to 3 relaxed cats who hadn’t noticed we’d been gone because she took such good care of them.”

“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!”

About: Growing up, I was lucky enough to share my life with guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, cats, dogs, and even horses, so I’ve had plenty of experience with a wide range of pets. Friends and family often turn to me as their go-to pet sitter because they know how much I care and how dependable I am. Whether it’s daily walks, house visits, or overnight stays, I’m happy to help and with the ability to work from home, I can easily fit your pet’s needs into my day. I’d love to give your pet the love and attention they deserve when you can’t be there. I work full time, but can work from home very easily. For dog walking, my lunch can be any time between 12-2pm, or after 5pm for after work! I live in a flat, however we have a shared fenced garden and live very near a park that is excellent for walking. Happy to keep a pet on a lead at all times if that is what the owner prefers!

About: I’ve pet sat for multiple people / neighbours looking after both dogs and cats. Making sure they go on walks, are fed, gone to the toilet, and most importantly played with ! I’m currently at home from uni for summer and unemployed. So I have availability whenever needed, weekdays and weekends I am free to help out. Making sure they have everything they need, as well as adapting to their behaviour - if they want to chill then we can chill, if they aren't then we can play! Also listening to what the owner wants me to do for their pet.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. Additionally, I have looked after many of my friends and families dogs before including labradors, collies, cocker spaniels and border terriers. I currently live with a border collie cross so am used to looking after all dogs at each end of the energy spectrum. He socialises with other dogs and is taken on three walks/runs a day. Happy to tailor walks, feeding and playing to meet dogs needs. I grew up on a farm so have extensive experience of looking after many types of animals. I am a PhD student so can be flexible with walking and dog sitting. Any time of the day works for me!! I can take dogs out when I walk my own dog or he can stay behind. This is specific to the person and dog.I would follow the strict instructions set by the owner. In my own experience I know how to read dogs and give them their own space when needed. If anything should happen I would contact the owner immediately. In my own home we have a backyard that is fully enclosed. My dog joins us for sofa time some parts of the day and is crate trained which he loves as his own safe space. I respect dogs space and ask for consent when going to cuddle them, growing up with collies I know that not every dog wants attention all the time, I know to respect them.

I love walking and running so I will happily run or walk long distances with your dogs. I enjoy baking and have made homemade dog treats in the past so if desired I can always get baking! The area I live in is very dog friendly and has lots of walking area where your dogs can get a variety in walking paths. Hope to see you and your pet soon !
