“Rebecca was so understanding and accommodating for me and my Ruby, and I felt like nothing was too much trouble. My cat is super cautious and shy but warmed to Rebecca immediately, making me look like a liar - which in this case I’m thrilled about! Rebecca sent me updates from every drop in and I was able to enjoy my trip away knowing Ruby was as happy as she could be. I would recommend her highly, thank you Rebecca, your kindness and respect to Ruby’s boundaries was so appreciated.”


About: I’ve had experience pet sitting for friends and family and pet sat for long durations of times.im the biggest dog lover and excited to meet new pets!! I currently work a 9-5 but will be able to take time off with enough notice or if you let is okay to be left alone for up to 4 hours I am able to come back on breaks and give them love and walkies I also am free every weekend and more than happy to do jobs at these times I have 2 big friendly dogs and as they are large dogs I am able to use my experience with them to help care of your doggos!

About: I have been pet sitting professionally for the past 4 years and I recently spent a year travelling around the UK house and pet sitting through the THS App with my partner and our dog. I cared for dogs while their owners were away on holiday, we often looked after chickens and sheep too. I love meeting new furry friends, getting to know their needs and having fun outdoors with them. We are now settled in Ayrshire and hoping to start giving out belly rubs in the local community. I have experience with many breeds, puppies, senior dogs and blind dogs. Your dog will have lots of love and care, we love our walks outdoors and there are plenty of options for locations depending on where your dog loves to go. I have a secure and fenced garden at my home that your dog will have supervised access to for toilet breaks. They will have Ava the Chi for company, myself and my partner. Your dog will never be left alone with another dog unsupervised either indoors or outside. When I sit for pets in your home I will keep to their usual routine, whilst creating a safe and secure environment. Dogs will get plenty of exercise with daily walks and toilet breaks. My chihuahua may come with me depending on your circumstances. She won't come if your pet isn't happy with it and this can be discussed before hand.

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.

“Taya was absolutely fantastic and really helped me out with poppy. At extremely last minute when I was let down by a friend going away, I was in panic mode as poppy was suffering with a really bad painful ear infection and really needed medication over the period I was away. Taya got back to me really quickly and nothing at all was a problem for her. I was really happy that she was able to meet poppy before I went away and Taya definately went above and beyond doing extra when she didn't need to. I felt so happy and comfortable knowing that I could go away and Taya was confident giving poppy her oral medication and ear drops. The update and photos of poppy looking extremely happy was excellent. Such a great experience and I would highly recommend Taya for anyone's pet going away and would definately use Taya in the future, thank you so much for everything poppy had a great time!”


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.

Chrissy L.
“A friend of mine recommended Christine to me as I was in need of a cat sitter. Christine looked after my cat whilst I was on holiday for just under 2weeks. We arranged a meet and she came to my house to meet my cat before I went. She’s so lovely and kind! My kitty and home were well looked after whilst I was away. She sent regular updates, pictures and videos and gave him a lot of love and attention. He can get quite nervous and upset when we’re away, but we came back to a very happy and content kitty! Cannot recommend enough!”
