“Stephanie was great with Nora, especially as little Nora was going through a difficult puppy phase when Stephanie looked after her overnight. She gave lovely updates and really looked after my pup. I can’t thank her enough for going the extra mile. Nora clearly loved her as she was sad to see her go. Thank you Stephanie.”


“Jennifer was fantastic. Met up for a meet and greet before the house sitting, and on the day she was great with Ollie giving me update and pictures out on his walks with her! 10/10 highly recommend Jennifer.”


“Fallon is amazing. I left Hugo in her care when I had to travel for work. Unfortunately, Hugo suffered his second ever full seizure during this time. Fallon handled the situation, made sure he didn’t get hurt and was there for him in the post seizure confusion. She washed both the dog and cleaned up and I came home to recovered dog. She probably handled the situation better than I would have and I’m really grateful to her for her experience and professionalism in handling this situation.”


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.

“Rianna was superb at looking after our 2 year old Labrador, Albert. She met up with him before her stay, asking lots of questions to get to know him and his traits. She took good care of him in our home for a few days, keeping us updated with photos and stories about his day and taking good care of our flat. We’ll definitely have Rianna back to spend time with Albert!”


“Siobhan looked after my two year old dog Ollie for 4 days. She was very thoughtful and considerate throughout. She came to meet Ollie before we agreed to proceed with the dog sitting.. Siobhan asked lots of questions and showed a genuine interest in Ollie's routine and temperament. During her time dog sitting she sent some lovely photos of him enjoying his time with her. It looked like they got on well. Communication was easy and pleasant throughout. Siobhan left my house nice and tidy and she stripped the bed. Ollie was happy and relaxed on my return. I was delighted to have such a gentle, considerate and kind person to look after my precious dog at short notice. I would definitely book her 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. 😊”


“Laura is wonderful. She looked after our whippet Misty and cockapoo Bo while we were out for the evening. She kept us updated, sending photos and messages and although Misty has been nervous before when being left she was relaxed and happy on our return. I would highly recommend Laura!”


About: Having lots of pets over the years I've realised how difficult it is to find someone to care for them and understand the value of a trustworthy and reliable sitter. I've got a masters in Agriculture, (Professional Member of the Institute of Agricultural Management) have owned a herd of alpacas, had cats/birds/hamsters/guinea pigs, and currently have a dog and a bearded dragon. I'm passionate about animal welfare and have studied Animal Behaviour at undergraduate, as well as presenting my thesis on improving animal welfare for my MSc. I'm not able to have more pets at the moment but would love to meet yours! I'm a professional civil servant with a flexible schedule and my own transport. Happy to tailor visits around you and your pets needs. I'm available to look after any pets in their own home on their terms, visits/overnights/walks/feeds - whatever you need! I’m happy to stay full time in your home should that be what you need for sitting, but flexible for other arrangements too :) I have a Disclosure Scotland and a PVG too! Based in the East end of Glasgow but providing services from there to the Helensburgh area, and beyond based on needs :) I work a flexible schedule and happy to make tailored plans to suit you and your pet when you need them! I often work from home. I am respectful, discreet and tidy, and would treat your pet with the utmost care and attention in your home, following your instructions exactly, which I would expect if someone was looking after my pet!

“what can i say! im the most precious owner that had never left her 4 year old dog, Agata met me twice and proceeded to reassure me before we left for holiday. She came to my home and was so respectful, asking about her mum and partner visiting , all the time sending me videos and pictures. She displayed clear knowledge and love of dogs and cared for our girl perfectly. our home was left immaculately, i loved the correspondence, warmth , kindness and would be privileged if she would watch my dog again. Thank you Agata x”


About: I’m a secondary teacher so I love dog sitting in the school holidays or at weekends. I live alone and it can be quite lonely - dog sitting is a great way to keep busy and have lots of cuddles! I love all dogs but primarily bigger ones. I grew up with a black lab for a lot do my childhood then had a terrier when I was in my earlier twenties. I’m a full time teacher so only available weekends or school holidays. I usually don’t take dogs when I’m at school as this would be unfair on the dog. I basically let the dogs go wherever they want in my house. No area off limits unless I’m out. Dogs can be on my furniture, I have blankets on my sofa. I also allow dogs to sleep in my bed at night. Even when they have their own bed, dogs always opt to cuddle up with me haha! My front garden is fenced and perfect for a quick morning pee but I usually walk dogs round to the football grounds 10 mins away from the house. I usually choose 3 walks a day and go to bed around 10pm so the final toilet outing is at 9.30pm.

About: I have over 15 years experience with both small and large animals. I am a professional dog groomer and worked in the sspca in Dumbarton.

I am happy to stay overnight to look after your pet in their own home so they feel safe. Also happy to watch them for a few hours in the evening if their pawrents are going out.
