“Outstanding service, I have never left my dogs with anyone other than family and wasn’t sure how they would settle, Ebony came for a meet and greet and answered any questions I had putting my mind at ease. During our time away we received regular updates on the dogs and they were well taken care of. Our house was immaculate when we came home and the dogs were extremely well taken care of. I cannot thank Ebony enough for her care and attention to our dogs. Highly recommend this service. Thanks again :)”


“Cloe looked after Lilo for a long weekend while I was away home! She was confident in taking on a reactive girl & made me feel really assured she was okay with this. Cloe keep in touch & provided updates & photos! My house was also pristine when I came home! I’d highly recommend Cloe & will absolutely be using her in future ☺️”


“Jennifer is just THE BEST. We booked her to stay in our home with our dog, a staffie named Ringo, for two weeks and we could not have asked for a better experience. She visited us not once but twice (at our request) prior to the booking to ensure we were confident and comfortable. Ringo had the time of his life with Jennifer. She took him on so many walking adventures – and she provided photos and videos of them every single day. Ringo says she was a magnificent cuddler, too. In the past, we kennelled him at a “luxury” kennel but we worried about how much time he was spending alone. It always put a damper on our trips away as we worried about him and this time, we had no worries at all. Jennifer communicated with us multiple times each day. There were a couple of unexpected events (power outage for one) and Jennifer handled them with grace. We were relaxed and happy because we knew Ringo was, too.”


“Had the most relaxing, stress free holiday we've had in years all down to how well our 2 dogs took to Ashlynn. They loved her straight away and it was obvious from the start she is an animal lover. One of our dogs is not very good with strangers and even some friends of ours he has been around for years. Never goes near them for attention but he was all over Ashlynn. Worried he might even mope a bit now shes gone. She was in touch every day we were away with updates and photos which was great for us. Ashlynn was also very respectful of our home and ensured it was the way we left it. Not having to be worried while on holiday was great. We would definitely ask Ashlynn back with out hesitation. Highly, highly recommend her to look after your pets. Thank you Ashlynn for allowing us the best holiday we've had for years.”


About: I’ve previously owned dogs, cats and horses and work in a doggy day care. I’m understanding of any breeds and personalities of all kinds of dogs I currently work Tuesday- Friday and off the weekend and Mondays to do some extra shifts playing and taking care of more dogs around the area I love to walk for hours so why not use that benefit and help you walk your dogs in lovely areas when timing in a struggle especially in winter

“Megan looked after our Yorkie and Pekingese dogs over a few days, she was so lovely and very reliable. The dogs were walked each day and seemed so relaxed when we returned. We would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone. Thank you Megan.”


“Chrissy kindly came to sit our 11 month old Labradoodle for a night and we couldn't have wished for anyone better! Chrissy was amazing with her communication, came for a meet and greet beforehand, and sent us lots of photos of them having fun together whilst we were away. We felt really reassured about leaving Kip with Chrissy, even with some of his bad behaviors (jumping up and food stealing), which she seemed to handle really well. We'll definitely reach out to Chrissy if needed again.”


About: I grew up on a farm so have an all round love of animals in general. I currently have Nevis a 4 year old, one eyed English Bulldog and also previously had a Samoyed, Shih Tzu and Boxer so have varied breed experience. You can see in my photos I cared for a litter of puppies which gave me great experience but taught me I was not destined to be a breeder. As you can see in the photos all of the puppies are very close to us and I see them regularly. Happy to look after any animals following owners usual routine. All requests will be assessed to ensure I can meet your needs and I will not commit if I am not right for you and your pet. All areas and dates between those above considered. I am insured, DBS in progress and registered with National Association of Registered Pet Sitters and Dog Walkers. My current career is in pharmaceutical and life science auditing and compliance so training and legislation is a key aspect aspect to me. Any pet sits would be fully assessed before commiting to ensure they are my priority and can have my full attention. I follow owners schedule requested. No change to pet's daily life. If i cannot fulfill the owners requests then I will not commit. I treat pets exactly as owner requests following their own routine in the comfort of their own home. My goal is for the pet to feel safe, relaxed and loved.

About: As a 4th-year veterinary medicine student at the University of Glasgow, caring for animals isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. I’ve managed a cattery, looked after my own beloved dogs and cats, and regularly cared for pets belonging to friends and family. Over the past four years, I’ve gained hands-on experience in various veterinary practices, deepening both my clinical skills and my understanding of what pets truly need to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it's cuddles, playtime, or medication support, I treat every pet like my own—with patience, compassion, and genuine care. I'm currently off university for the summer, so I'm available most days and times unless I'm on placement. During term time, I'm free most evenings and weekends, except for Wednesdays and Fridays. I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet's needs, whether in my home or the owner's. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping to their routine to ensure they feel safe and comfortable.

“Apologies we have just remember to complete a review for you! We messaged Alice on Tuesday on Rover and had arranged for her to come meet us and our pugs on Thursday, with a view to her staying overnight with our dogs on the Saturday. Alice has a lovely manner and she was very patient with our dogs who are like a whirlwind when anyone arrives at our door. She fed them some treats and clapped them and was comfortable with them. We got chatting to her and let her know what we would like to happen when looking after our dogs and she was very accommodating, she also spoke about her love for dogs and we could see this with how good she was with our two. After she had left we decided that we would be more than comfortable to have her come and stay overnight at ours and look after our dogs and proceeded with the booking. Through her stay at our house she provided texts in the evening and in the morning to let us know how the dogs were which put our mind at ease. Would definitely recommend and use again, thank you!”

“Denise and her partner were great sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Our dog and cat were very happy with them, and Denise sent us daily updates. The house was spotless when we returned - the bedding was even laundered and fresh towels put in the bathroom. They even thought to leave us bread, milk and butter. So thoughtful, communication was excellent and it felt good to know our home and pets were so well looked after.”

“I had not engaged a complete stranger to look after my animals before and did have worries about doing so but after meeting Emma my worries vanished. She looked after my 4 dogs, 14 chickens, plant pots and house. I had left loads of instructions and she followed every one to the letter. Everything was perfect when we arrived back, no issues whatsoever. The dogs were happy, the hens were happy, the house was clean, the planters were blooming and she had brushed the dogs. Emma is totally trustworthy and a lovely person to have in the house. When we go away again she will be the one we call on. Thankyou Emma.”
