Dog Walking West Dunbartonshire

About: I have experience with high energy dogs with my 5 year old border collie, and my friends and family have dogs of various breeds. I have grown up around dogs of all ages, my aunt bred border collies and trained them for shows, and I enjoyed getting involved with their training. Currently on maternity leave and my partner is studying mostly from home, so always someone around for company. We love to get outdoors to walk our 5 year old border collie with our 6 month old daughter (always supervised with dogs and is very respectful), usually over the Kilpatrick Hills or Balloch Country Park. We have a large fenced garden and a 5 year old border collie for your pets to make friends with! We’re always up for a snuggle, dogs welcome on furniture but can hold boundaries if that is preferred. We have multiple crates and can separate dogs in different rooms if required.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. Friends, family and neighbours have trusted me to walk, feed, play with and look after their dogs for many years. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles or sticking to a specific schedule, I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I take my little girl to nursery at 9am till 2:45pm so I am free during the day and free most weekends and my love getting outdoors as much as possible. I have an indoor cat and he gets plenty of attention and acts like my second child. I am very caring when it comes to looking after pets.

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life. From a young child, I would lie in my dogs beds and play with them over any human. I have been asked by various family members and friends to look after their furry friends over anyone else. I understand all types of dogs and their needs and I guarantee that I will become their new best friend 🤍 I currently work in a dog friendly bar, zero hours with a very flexible schedule. If possible, plenty of notice prior to booking would be fab. Give me a message and we can work out dates that accommodate both of us. I would prefer coming to you when possible. I am willing to travel to you. Your dog will be my only focus and priority and I am more than happy to schedule prior visits for your furry friend to get familiar with me. Depending on your dogs needs I can provide walks, or if not we can stay in the garden or even snuggle up on the couch together.

“Michaela was on time great communication prior to walk & after Clyde looked as though he throughly enjoyed his walk loved the photos sent will definitely book again”

About: We understand that leaving your dog with someone else is a big decision, which is why we're committed to providing a safe, loving, and relaxed home-from-home environment for every dog in our care. Over the years, we've cared for a wide variety of family pets and have hands-on experience with animals of all ages, personalities, and needs. Alongside owning pets ourselves, we've looked after a range of dog breeds, as well as cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even a tortoise. My wife, Kirsty, also works in a pet shop, where she has gained valuable experience caring for and advising on the wellbeing of many different animals. To give you even greater peace of mind, I am certified in Canine First Aid and CPR, ensuring I'm prepared to respond quickly and appropriately should an emergency ever arise. We know that every dog is unique, so we'll always take the time to understand their routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, plenty of playtime, or simply relaxing with lots of fuss and cuddles, we'll make sure they feel happy, secure, and part of the family throughout their stay. Pet sitting fits naturally into our routine, allowing us to dedicate quality time and attention to every pet in our care. As I work Monday to Friday during term time, we primarily offer weekend pet care, making us an ideal choice for weekend breaks, weddings, family visits, and short getaways. We also have additional availability during school holidays and selected weekdays throughout the year. When your pet stays with us, they'll be welcomed into our home and cared for as if they were one of our own. We'll take the time to follow their usual routine, provide plenty of love, enrichment, exercise, and cuddles, and ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and wellbeing are always our highest priorities. Our home is pet-free, allowing us to give your pet our full attention and providing a calm environment without the added stress that some animals can experience when meeting unfamiliar pets. We're fortunate to live close to plenty of green spaces and scenic walking routes, giving dogs lots of opportunities for enjoyable walks, exercise, mental stimulation, and play in a safe environment. Whether your pet enjoys energetic adventures or a slower-paced stroll with plenty of sniffing, we'll tailor their walks to suit their individual needs and routine. Inside our home, your pet will have a clean, comfortable, and welcoming space where they can relax, feel secure, and enjoy plenty of love and attention throughout their stay.

I am more than happy to have your furry child over night or to look in on them after work or on weekends. Having an open-plan flat, the rooms are filled with natural light; CCTV will be an option, but daily updates will be included as standard. I will insist on password pickup (you and I agree on a secret password if someone other than the person who drops them off is picking them up). If visiting your home, I will be wearing body-worn CCTV and will text or video chat during my visit to ensure that you are aware that I have attended to your goodest boy/girl.

About: I’ve taken care of large and small dogs since I was 8. I am constantly walking and caring for our friends dogs both overnight and during the day, and are confident in caring for all breeds of dog. I frequently work from home and my working pattern means I am frequently certain days during the week allowing me to be flexible and meet the needs of pet. I have a fenced courtyard which I often allow any animal friends free rein of and have the space for a crate if required. I believe in our furry friends being an extension of the family so I will treat your pup like our own, including free rein of the sofa and sleeping spaces. I understand the importance of routine, mealtimes and chances to let off some energy so I will follow your instructions to the letter to ensure your pup is comfortable in our space. I am an active person and enjoy long walks and adventures including the beach and secluded country walks. Providing this is something you would be comfortable with, your pup will not be short of an adventure or two.

“Agnieszka has been walking our little French bulldog, Bruna, for the past week, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She’s attentive, communicates promptly about any updates or changes, and has been so reliable. Our Bruna adores her, which is a huge bonus for us. Highly recommend her services!”

About: Grown up owning a Labrador and being surrounded by a number of family dogs of various sizes including rescue dogs. Our household welcomes all kind of paws and pups. I work shifts and my partner works hybrid (home and office). Between us there is someone home, keen to cuddle or up for a walk. We occasionally look after family and friends dogs when required. I have a fenced, secure garden. A box full of toys and treats for all dogs to enjoy. A dedicated cuddle chair calling out for a dog snuggle.

About: With my Dad who races pigeons and an Auntie who rescues dogs and used to volunteer with The Dog's Trust, I am one of the lucky ones who has grown up around animals their entire life. We kept budgies and rabbits, a dog and a cat. I had neighbours who asked me to look after their guinea pig, and another who asked me to look after their Yorkshire Terrier, I have wide experience with different animals and on different terms, including overnight stays and daily meal time visits, or just as a companion for a few hours. My boyfriend is always catching me talking to various dogs and our cats when we are out on walks. I'm currently working from home as a freelance photographer which gives me a pretty flexible weekly routine. I live close to a number of parks for walks, but also close to public transport for home visits.I As previously mentioned, I have been entrusted with things like staying overnight to look after a friend's cats, dropping by to check in with pet wellbeing and keeping them company for a few hours and dishing up meal time. Additionally, as someone very fond of nature, dog walks are something I really miss about moving to the city from the Scottish Highlands where I grew up with said cat, dog, rabbits, budgies and pigeons.

“Our dogs warmed up to Alaina immediately! She is clearly very experienced and comfortable with large dogs, and we are eager to have her care for our loved ones again and again!”
