“Jennifer was amazing, she exceeded our doggie love expectations. If our dogs could book her again I think they would. What a lovely person and the best judge of that is done by animals. Thank you Jennifer, it is great to know your are there for when we need you!”

About: I've loved dogs all my life and looked after all shapes, sizes and ages for around two decades of it. Having been the go-to dog sitter for my friends these last few years, I've decided to go pro and can't wait to meet some new furball friends. I'm patient, collected and happy to keep up any training you're doing with your best bud. I currently volunteer at The Dog's Trust Glasgow and have been training in reward-based behaviour reinforcement. Can't wait to meet you and your gorgeous pup. I'm currently working from home a lot alongside my husband who is permanently work from home. Happy to meet your pet where they're most comfortable or have them at ours if it's easier. We have a car and can take them to their favourite parks and walk spots or go exploring somewhere new together. We're in a first floor flat with unfenced gardens where we can take your dog on-leash for regular toilet breaks. Ideally we'd bring your dog's bed/crate and belongings from home to help them feel more safe and secure.
“Abi was a superstar looking after our greyhound Scooby. She took him on lots of adventures and kept us updated with photos. Abi was very reliable, quick to respond and very flexibile with handing over care from a friend as we were on holiday. Would highly recommend and hope to use Abi again in future.”

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my genuine love for animals, paired with a lifestyle that naturally supports their happiness and well being. I work from home, so your dog will never be left alone and will always have company, cuddles and care throughout the day. I live near beautiful woodland and countryside trails, perfect for long, enriching walks and outdoor adventures. I’ve spent years looking after my friends energetic spaniel, who loves swimming and exploring and I’m always happy to join in!! Whether your pup needs a calm companion or a nature loving adventure buddy, they’ll be in safe loving hands with me! ❤️ As someone who works from home and has a flexible schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I will schedule my workday around the pets in my care, taking breaks to go on walks, feed them or simply hang out and give them attention. Whether it’s a playful pup who needs outdoor time or a cozy cat who loves sunny windowsills and a quiet companion, I naturally will incorporate their needs into my day. Since I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to provide pets with regular companionship, timely meals, bathroom breaks and play sessions without ever having to leave them alone for long. I also have a fenced and secure back garden therefore there is very minimal risk of any escapee accidents! So you can be rest assured that your pets will be in a safe and secure environment and I am very attentive to their needs and I’m always just a few doggy footsteps away!
About: I’ve been surrounded by animal since I was 5. I love all animals probably better than people 😀, I love taking care of all a puppy and dog needs. I love spending time with them and make sure they always have fun along with a deserved time off to relax. I’m Working part-time, I am not available the weekends right now but I’m free midweek. I also have a 10 months lab which he is so friendly and full of energy puppy I always make sure I spend time with dogs, going for long adventures, includes normal walks (countryside or beach), playgrounds, feeding dogs accordingly to their diet, making sure they have plenty of space and all the attention & love that they deserve.
About: Hi, I’m Julia – a lifelong dog lover offering friendly, flexible dog sitting and walking in your dog’s favorite environment. Whether your furry friend loves long adventures or prefers cozy company at home, I adapt to their pace, personality, and needs. I’ve shared my life with dogs big and small – from playful Chihuahuas to gentle Saint Bernards – and I truly miss their joyful energy. That’s why I’m here to lend a helping hand (and a few belly rubs!) to fellow dog owners. Because I work from home, I’m available most weekdays and weekends for walks, cuddles, or companionship. I also have a car, so if your dog needs a change of scenery, I can whisk them off for a longer stroll beyond Queen’s Park. Trust, care, and plenty of tail wags guaranteed! 🐕💛 Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I love taking breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, or cuddles — it’s the perfect balance between work and spending time with dogs. On weekdays, I can adjust my day around each dog’s needs, whether that means a few short walks or a long outing. Weekends are just as open, so I can offer longer walks or extended sitting if needed. Having a car also makes it easy to explore new parks or walking spots beyond Queen’s Park. Caring for dogs naturally fits into my lifestyle — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. When caring for pets in their own home, I always focus on keeping them comfortable and happy in their familiar surroundings. I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality — whether they’re energetic and love long walks or prefer calm companionship — and adapt to their needs. If I’m dog sitting, I make sure the home stays tidy and that the dog feels safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured their pets are doing great. With my flexible schedule and access to a car, I can take dogs on longer walks or to their favorite parks when they need extra exercise or stimulation.

“Ashlynn's knack for dogs is pretty evident. My Aussie pup and I were instantly at ease with her laid-back approach. Ash has this comfortable, easy-going vibe; she definitely she speaks dog and human equally well and is an absolute pleasure to chat to. Looking forward to more of those relaxed and enjoyable encounters (:”
“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.”

About: With over 25 years experience caring for a range of breeds from large to small, young and old I have the ability to ensure your precious family member has the best care possible coupled with fun and games. All this combines with the ability to be on the beach or woods with your dog within minutes to provide scent filled engagement and fulfillment. I currently work as a freelance dog handler following a change of career. I am looking to extend my offerings to all things dogs i.e. walking, boarding, pet sitting and hopefully grooming in the future to provide a bespoke service. Your fur baby will become a full fledged horary member of my family and have free roam in our home. The back garden is fully enclosed by a 6ft fence and I will be on hand to play with your pet throughout their stay.
“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!”

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was 11. Friends and family have also asked me to take care of their dogs between checking in on them, walking, feeding and taking to appointments that were required. I’m currently working part time so I have Tuesdays and Wednesdays all day as well as the weekend and evenings when needed for your pup. I have a well trained dog who loves interacting with others and he has the kindest heart towards others who can be available to go on the walks with your dogs.

I have a flexible schedule and can usually accommodate last minute bookings. When looking after your pet in your own home, your pet will be more comfortable than in a strange, different environment. I will treat your home with respect and ensure everything is how you left it.
“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.”
