Dog Walking Stirling

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years, including walking, feeding and giving lots of love and attention. Friends, family, and neighbours trust me to keep their pets safe, happy, and well-exercised while they’re away. As a university student and professional athlete, I maintain a structured weekly routine around my university and swimming training. I have university classes 9am–2pm on Mondays and Tuesdays, swimming training 6–9:30on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and 12–3:45pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. I recently moved to Stirling from Aberdeen to undertake a masters in marketing, meaning my own Golden Retriever, Duke, is staying at home in Aberdeen with my family. I really miss having him around and the comfort, companionship and joy that comes from having a dog to care for and give lots of love and attention to. Pet sitting gives me the opportunity to share that love and care with other people’s pets. Outside of my scheduled university and training hours, I am completely free and can dedicate my time to your pet. When pet sitting, I will be staying in the owner’s home and can provide your pet with my full attention, company and care for the majority of the day. This means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, while still being able to stay in the comfort of their own home and maintain their usual surroundings. I’m reliable, responsible and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, walks and playtime while you’re away. I provide safe, fun walks in dog friendly areas. I always make sure dogs are on lead unless given permission and stay fully attentive to their safety and comfort. I treat every dog like my own, giving them care, patience and lots of love.

“Thanks a million Andrew for being available for teddy whilst im in hospital and all he chopping and changing, i know he has good fun and is looked after well.”

About: Having grown up with dogs, I have personally raised and cared for four family pets over the past 20+ years. This lifelong experience includes dedicated senior dog care, where I focus on the gentle pace, patience, and attentive routine needed to keep older dogs comfortable and safe. I am also skilled in basic dog training, using consistent positive reinforcement to encourage good habits during walks and home visits. Beyond caring for my own pets, I managed the daily well-being of an on-site rehomed rescue dog during my time at Bay Tree Flowers. What sets me apart as a sitter is my commitment to reliability, clear communication, and safety. As a certified workplace First Aider, I bring a calm, level-headed approach to special care requirements or unexpected situations. I am also a confident driver with my own vehicle, ensuring prompt and reliable home visits or outings. Whether your pet needs gentle senior support, active exercise, or structured routine reinforcement, I treat every animal with the highest level of affection and attentive care. I have a flexible schedule that makes integrating pet care seamless. I am available all week for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I am happy to accommodate morning visits, afternoon walks, evening check-ins, or overnight care depending on what works best for you and your pet's regular routine. As a certified First Aider with extensive experience caring for dogs—including senior pets—I prioritize safety, comfort, and peace of mind above all else. I approach every home visit and walk with strict attention to secure doors, gates, and leashes. I follow owner routines precisely, ensuring feeding, medication, training reinforcement, and quiet time are handled with care. As a confident driver with my own vehicle, I can easily transport pets if an emergency ever arises, keeping your pet safe and comfortable in their home environment.

About: I’ve worked with dogs for 3 years, studying animal biology. Have 2 dogs at home, trained by me both from puppies. I have also spent 3 summers walking dogs at kennels. I am currently in Stirling university, I have weekends free and can night can also schedule around my timetable. I can be flexible around classes. I cannot home board as I live in a flat. But while house sitting I will follow any guidance from the owners. And make sure the dogs happy and comfortable at all times.

About: With several years of hands-on experience on a farm, I've been able to care for dogs, cats and many other animals of varying ages and breeds. I offer thoughtful and consistent care tailored to each pet’s needs and personality. I’ve worked with shy rescues, high-energy puppies, and senior pets who need a gentler approach. For dogs, I have experience with leash training, basic commands, and creating calm, consistent routines. For cats, I’ve built trust with even the most standoffish felines through patience and body language awareness. Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, or just someone who loves animals, I bring both reliability and heart to every visit. I'll respect and treat them as though they were my own little ones. I am currently working part-time so have plenty of free time to look after pets. I'm an athlete so walking your pets is no problem whatsoever. I am always punctual, dependable, and respectful of your time. Pet care is something I prioritize with care and consistency. I currently offer flexible availability for morning and evening visits, and I’m happy to accommodate weekend and holiday bookings as well. Whether you’re away for a day or a week, you can count on me to keep things running smoothly and your pets happy and safe. I live in a quiet, safe and gated residential area. There's lots of space in my flat for the pets to roam. I create a calm, pet-friendly space that’s clean, supervised, and adapted to each pet’s personality and needs. I take home security very seriously, always locking up. When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is to maintain their routine and environment so they feel safe, relaxed, and secure while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully because every detail matters.

About: I’ve had my own cat, Michael, for over eight years, so I understand the responsibility and commitment that comes with caring for a pet. I also have experience caring for pets of different ages, personalities and needs, from energetic young pets to older animals who may need a little more patience and attention. I’m confident caring for young pets and reinforcing routines and basic training, while also providing calm, gentle care for senior pets. As an active and reliable person, I love making sure pets get plenty of exercise, play and mental stimulation, always adapting to their individual needs. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable, safe and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently at university, working part-time and am also a competitive athlete, so I’m used to managing a busy but flexible schedule. My training and university commitments vary throughout the week, which allows me to be adaptable and work around the needs of each pet. I’m happy to arrange walks, drop-ins, feeding visits or pet sitting around your schedule wherever possible. I understand that every pet has a different routine, so I’m flexible and will always do my best to accommodate what works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand your pet’s routine, personality and any specific needs before caring for them, and I’ll follow your instructions carefully. I’m responsible, reliable and respectful of your home and belongings. I’ll keep you updated while you’re away and won’t hesitate to get in touch if I’m unsure about anything. I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in safe and caring hands.

“Maria was very good with our dog Archie. She was very reliable and provided us with good feedback and photos of their walks. She was very caring and enthusiastic with Archie and that showed in how quickly Archie was happy and excited to see her. I would highly recommend Maria to others. Mary Anne Burgoyne”

About: Hi I'm Lorna! I'm a kindhearted animal lover who is eager to love and care for every animal, big or small. I have loved animals since I was little, having had pets from cats and dogs to reptiles and rodents. I currently have 2 cute cats who I adore. My pet sitting experience includes looking after an energetic bulldog puppy, and overnight care for cats with medicine requirements. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is quite flexible. I would love to expand my pet sitting experience and take great care of your furry friends! I'm currently working part time so I have lots of time to love, care for and play with your pet! Giving them the love and affection they deserve. I will take great care of your pet by keeping up their normal routines, giving them lots of attention and stimulation through play time and cuddles.

About: I’ve had many many dogs, cats, chickens and sheep of my own, but also over many years looked after friend’s dogs, cats and small furries. Looked after pets of all ages and peculiarities. Every one is different and special. I have two dogs and two cats of my own with family help if I need to stay away. I am available at any time, with notice and can easily fit my dogs walks around visiting your pets. Pet care is my full time occupation so your pet is my priority. Whatever your pets normal routine, I can cater for them to keep life as close to your usual routine as possible. Either in your home or mine as preferred.

About: I have had dogs since I was a child however living in a flat with one wouldn't be easy so I have decided to wait until I purchase a house with a garden so will pet sit until then! I now work from home so I can house sit as long as there is a solid internet connection to allow your dog to be in its own space whilst I am there to reduce stress. I have my own vehicle to get to and from in the Stirling area also. I work full time from home or anywhere remote - 08.00- 16.00 Mon- Fri so happy to house sit any hours during this time. It's also easy for me to pick up new hours and alter schedules to what is needed. I have cats currently and probably way over protective of them, so I know how important any pet parent is about leaving their beloved animal with someone. I would always be extra attentive.

“Emma was fantastic with our border collie, Arran, over the 4 days she walked him. He always came back happy, tired, and clearly had a great time. She took him to a nearby park for proper long runs, which he absolutely loved. The daily photo updates always made me laugh haha, and Emma was always reliable, on time, and great with communication. Most importantly, Arran was genuinely happy being walked by her, which gave us real peace of mind. We’d book with Emma again in a heartbeat!”

About: I grew up on a farm so I’ve always been surrounded by animals from a young age which started my love for dogs when we got our first border collie! I have experience with many dog breeds and ages having volunteered at the SSPCA, which involved handling large, energetic dogs, new born pups, as well as more timid dogs suffering from anxiety. I’ve also worked abroad with dogs who had been dumped/abandoned meaning many suffered from disease and/or malnourishment. I am also canine/pet first aid trained. I am currently running my own dog walking business called Kirstin’s K9 Care where I get to walk and play with the best dogs, join the club! I am currently focusing only on dog walking and building my animal care career so my schedule is open and I am available to book mon-fri I drive a van meaning I have plenty of room for dogs to be picked up safely and transported to walking routes that really suit their needs whether that be a big open field to just run about in and burn energy, or a woodland walk to provide lots of good smells for your dog.

About: I've grown up with a dog in the house, so having moved out I miss having the company of a furry friend. I regularly look after my parent's dogs or my in-law's dog. A highlight of mine was watching my parent's dog's litter grow up after they bred her and caring for the eight puppies. I'm currently working part-time while I study which gives me plenty of flexibility for looking after your doggos! I study on a Tuesday and Thursday so am able to be very flexible on those days. I'm also available weekends. I'm really flexible because I know that dogs love their routines. One thing's for sure, they'll get all the love and attention! I live in a woodland area where there's lots of smells and walks nearby.

About: From my 6 years experience of caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs, I’ve learned how to create a calm, loving, and structured environment where your dog will feel safe and understood. I work from home so your dog will always have someone around! I love walking and know lots of lovely routes around the Stirlingshire area. I’m confident with both energetic puppies and senior dogs. I treat every animal as if they’re my own, taking the time to learn their unique quirks and routines so they feel relaxed and cared for from the moment we meet. Your dog's safety is my top priority. I ensure their environment is secure, follow all specific care instructions, and provide the comfort they need while you're away. My calm and loving approach helps your dog feel right at home. I'm more than happy to meet for a coffee or walk, so you can feel confident about booking me to care for your dog. I work from home which means I’m very flexible and I have plenty of time to provide your pup with lots of care and attention! Although I live in a flat, I really enjoy getting out into the countryside for walks. I want to meet all the personal care requirements and needs that your pet has and I love getting to know different pets’ personalities whether they’re hyper and bubbly or a cool cucumber! I’ll ensure you have peace of mind while I’m looking after your dog by sending you updates and photos so you don’t have to worry!

About: I’ve always had family pets and now have my own dogs! My background is farming, so I have also trained and had loyal companions throughout. I’m able to walk, feed, play, love your pets like I do my own. I do my best to make your pets feel at home. I am currently not working after having my daughter so I am very flexible and will be able to cater around your schedule and needs. I believe all dogs deserve to be at their happiest. I will ensure your pet will be well looked after and return happy and full of life.

About: As an adult I have owned several dogs, including a Dalmatian, a Beagle and currently own 2 Cockapoos (mum aged 8yrs & daughter aged 6yrs) whom I absolutely adore. I love all dogs and have raised 3 Cockapoo litters, teaching and training 22 gorgeous puppies from birth until they went on to start their new life’s with their new owners, giving them all the best start in life. I have a FB page which I kept updated from the pups birth date until to their “gotcha” day for all new owners to follow their pups progress. The last litter was born on August 2024, The page is open and available for all new owners to post pictures and updates of their puppies to adult's progress and their new and happy life. I also regularly post on the page to keep in touch and always wish all a big “Happy Barkday” from their mums 🐾 grandma 🐾 and their big and little brothers 🐾 & sisters 🐾. 4 generations of fluffy, gorgeous Cockapoos Im a Carer so I’m no longer in employed paid work. I’m available all week for your pets needs, whether that be dropping in, taking a walk, pet sitting for that special occasion or weekend/holiday away, even attending that special occasion you want your pet to be part of… a wedding etc I have a large secure fenced garden for my dogs (and yours) to run around and to keep them safe AND 2 friendly Cockapoos to keep them company.

About: I’m a lifelong animal owner with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds and temperaments, including Irish Wolfhound crosses, Border Collies, Miniature Dachshunds, and cats. I’ve also cared for chickens and small animals, so I’m comfortable managing different routines and environments. Having recently relocated from Australia, I’m excited to share the care and attention I’ve always given my own pets with yours. I work partly online, which means I’m home for much of the day and able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and structure. Whether your dog is a high-energy working breed needing long walks and mental stimulation, a puppy learning the ropes, or a senior who prefers a slower pace, I adapt to their individual needs. I’m confident with puppies and happy to reinforce basic training, boundaries, and positive routines. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions. Routine is extremely important to me. I aim to keep feeding, walking, playtime, and sleep schedules as close to normal as possible to ensure your pet feels secure and settled while you’re away. As a homeowner myself, I understand how valuable trust and reliability are. Your home and pets will be treated with the same care and respect I give my own. Mornings and evenings are structured around feeding, walks, playtime, and any medication needs. I plan my work flexibly to ensure pets receive consistent attention if needed, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I can be a home body or out and about for puppy chinos. Walking to the local Cafe after a run in the park is one of my favourite hobbies, closely followed by a good book and a glass of wine by the fire. I really do just adapt to the needs of your pet :) . I prioritise maintaining the pet’s established routine to minimise stress. Feeding times, walks, play sessions, and medication schedules are followed carefully. I respect the home as if it were my own, keeping it clean, secure, and tidy. I also provide regular photo and message updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, reinforcing basic training and positive habits, as well as administering oral medications for both dogs and cats. My approach is calm, consistent, and attentive, with the goal of keeping pets happy, secure, and settled.

About: For boarding and day care, pick up and drop off service may be available upon request. During a stay 2 walks a day can be expected, plus playtime in a fully fenced garden. Any other needs can be discussed. I have been a pet owner for 7 years but have grown up around dogs. I have worked and volunteered in animal shelters, and worked in a medical environment caring for animals. Working in shelters has given me some animal training experience, and experience in handling more difficult animals. Working in the medical environment has given me knowledge of special need animals and administering medications. I started professional pet care while living in the USA. This included home visits, walks and sitting. I look forward to hearing from you!
