House Sitting in South Lanarkshire

“We would give Pauline 10 stars, if we could, she was absolutely amazing. Pauline came to stay in our house while we were on holiday. The love and care she showed to Bailey was above and beyond and kept us updated regularly with photographs. I would highly recommend Pauline and would have no hesitation in using Pauline again.”

About: I’ve been a dog person since I was 11, when my first dog Lady came into my life unexpectedly and utterly changed it. She was re-homed with us when her family moved abroad and from the moment she arrived, she became my dog. That bond was instant, magical, and honestly addictive. Since then, I’ve owned, loved, boarded, walked, and cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes and my life is fuller for it. I believe dogs are basically permanently furry toddlers. They need love, routine, reassurance, stimulation, and above all someone who treats them with the same care you’d give your own child. That’s exactly the kind of care I provide. I offer a calm, safe, affectionate home environment with plenty of company, structured walks, and space to relax. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality and routine so they feel secure and at ease while you’re away. Whether they’re a nervous first timer or a seasoned house guest, I tailor care to suit them. I’m happy to stay overnight, keeping your dog comfy, safe, and spoiled in their own space. You can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for like one of the family. My regular availability for boarding is Friday evening from 7pm to Monday evening at 7pm, ( I can collect) perfect for weekend getaways or short breaks. I also have extra time during the summer holidays and festive periods, so feel free to reach out, I’m always happy to help if I can! If boarding with me your pet will have access to a secure, fenced garden for outdoor time and play. While I don’t have crates myself, I’m more than happy for your dog to bring their own bed, crate, blankets, or comfort items, whatever helps them relax and feel at ease.

“Stephanie looked after our miniature dachshund for the weekend and she was absolutely fantastic. It's the first time we have left our dog and we couldn't have been more reassured by Stephanie's kind nature & care towards Willow. Willow was well looked after and if anything, very sad when Stephanie left! Thank you so much Stephanie!”

“Norris loved Hannah. She was prompt, communicative and took the time to come and meet him in advance of the sit. He is anxious at first and she was sure to reassure him before his walk. He was very calm and happy when I returned. We will definitely use Hannah again.”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and have plenty of experience with labradors and greyhounds, as well as cockapoos and Jack Russells. I have loads of patience for nervous pups and trained my gorgeous foster greyhound to walk upstairs and to learn to be in unfamiliar public spaces with other dogs, as well as aiding in his recovery from enduring injuries and stomach complications from before he was rescued. The comfort, safety, and health of your dog are my top priorities. I’ve looked after golden retrievers, cockapoos, and Jack Russells for days and weeks at a time. I also was inseparable from my golden Labrador Meggie from when I was 7 to when I was 20 and would love to look after your brilliant dog with the same warmth, dedication and care. I’m in the final stages of my PhD in English Literature and will be spending significant time working at home until teaching resumes in autumn. Having the company and energy of a dog to break up the day would be such a boost and I’d be ready and able to walk and play with your dog as much (or as little!) as they require. I work part-time on Tuesdays but I’m otherwise available and my partner Michael will also be on hand in the flat to take care of your furry friend when he can! I live with my partner, Michael (photo 6), who also loves dogs, in a spacious flat in the southside of Glasgow. I have a fenced backyard and close access to Queen’s Park and Linn Park, and can also drive to any parks your dog might feel more comfortable in. I’m very sensitive to the individual needs and spirit of all dogs and will do everything to ensure that they’re relaxed, happy, and cared for whenever they’re with me.

“Róisín and Edward were lovely with my two dogs from our first meeting until the end of the week-long dogsitting arrangement. This was the first time I left Axel and Hawk for longer than a few days with someone new, while leaving the country. However, I felt relaxed as Róisín and Edward made sure to send me photos of happy dogs on walks and at home, and asked me questions if they were unsure of something (which I always appreciate!).”

About: I’ve walked dogs for over 5+ years from friends to neighbours dogs. No dog is the same, message me to discuss your dogs needs today! I work from home and I am available in the area on the weekends too. Message me for availability and I can see what I can do for you. I’ve a 6ft fence around my property. I always walk dogs on their leads, and short lead in busy and crowded areas. I have experience in teaching dogs how to walk properly. I walk the dog - the dog doesn’t walk me!

“Diane was great with our dog! She came and met him before which was great for her to meet him and settled our nerves! Gave us updates on the day and was really accommodating. Would 100% recommend her to anyone!”

“Mollie helped us out after a last minute cancellation. She was friendly and professional. Our dog Whisky took to her immediately and we didn’t have any issues leaving him with her. When we came back he was happy and content. We got photo updates throughout. Great communication. Thank you again!”

“Xiyue took excellent care of my two greyhounds when I had to be away for three nights. I got regular detailed updates and photos and she took care to make sure they followed their usual schedule. I could tell the pups had fun with her and would definitely book again. 😊”

About: I’ve always had at least one cat or dog, and had 3 cats and a dog for the last 15 years while my kids were growing up. I trained both of my dogs and have fostered kittens and puppies short term. More recently I pampered and tended to my senior cats in their old age and I miss them so much! So now I provide dog and cat-sitting services to get my fur-baby fix! I am currently available both on week-days and weekends and can be flexible depending on your requirements. I’m happy to work with your pet’s schedule! I don’t have any pets at the moment so I’d be delighted to welcome your pet here! It’s too quiet! I have a partially fenced back garden on a quiet street. I love long walks and I’m just as happy to pet sit in your home depending on your preference.

“Couldn’t be happier with Austin & Lenny, they were very respectful of our home and we came back to a very happy dog. I received many updates about Diego including photos and I could see he was very comfortable and happy with them. I would definitely recommend Austin & Lenny for anyone wanting peace of mind knowing their dog is in good hands and being well taken care of - Thanks again :)”

“Katie was able to help us out with an evening sit for Belle at short notice! She arrived well on time and was lovely to communicate with. Belle was happy to be with her and she was relaxed when we got back. Thanks!”

“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 ☺️”

“We needed a last minute dog sitter and Savannah came to the rescue! We were a bit nervous leaving Polly with someone she didn’t know for the first time as she’s a bit anxious, but she was so happy and relaxed with Savannah which was great. Savannah sent us just enough updates to know all was well without bombarding us with messages. Will definitely be booking Savannah again for dog-sitting.”

“John was great and my dogs were very happy with him. He updated me often and we had great communication.”
