Tímea took wonderful care of my cat, Loki, while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with her service! From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, reliable, and attentive. She made sure to understand Loki’s routine, preferences, and little quirks, and it was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being. Throughout my trip, Tímea kept me updated with photos, messages, and little notes about how Loki was doing — which really put my mind at ease. I came home to a very happy and relaxed cat. I highly recommend Tímea to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. Loki and I are both so grateful for her help — we’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!

About: I have been around/taken care of pets (both cats and dogs) majority of my life. I have trained 3 dogs myself as house pets from their puppy stages, 2 of which are dachshunds we currently have, although one now stays with my husbands parents 10 minutes up the road. I am currently in-between employment, leaving a full work from home position, therefor I am home nearly 24/7 at the moment and would be able to give pets constant care and watch. I will be leaving the house roughly 2-3 times a week in the morning to attend the gym and here and there for shop runs etc, so dogs would be left at home with my pet also for roughly 1 hour or so at a time. I live in a home with a fenced garden that my own pets get to roam around freely. Pets are allowed in any room of the house and on the couch. Come nighttime, our pets have their own room they sleep in, however more often than not they choose to sleep on the couch downstairs so your pet would not be sleeping alone. However, if preferred I am happy to crate your pets if this is what they are more comfortable with.

Sarah has been fantastic with Coupar right from the start. She kindly came out for a meet-and-greet beforehand (at no extra charge), which was really helpful and gave me peace of mind. On the day of the walk, she arrived exactly on time, followed my instructions perfectly and made everything feel seamless and stress-free. Coupar was clearly happy and relaxed afterwards, and it was lovely to receive photos from their walk. Sarah followed everything to the letter, including feeding him after the walk, and it was clear she genuinely cares. I’d absolutely book her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others!

About: I love all animals. I’ve known dogs and cats since I was very young. Started professionally 7 yrs ago with voluntary dog training classes then started my business called Livingston Village Pet Buddy. I walk dogs and do pet sitting and have availability at the moment. Walking times range from 20 mins to 1 hr. Puppy sessions from 20 to 45 mins. If home visits are required, I will make sure everyone is safe, clean, fed, and have fun and cuddles (if possible) and is treated with fairness.

Leah was amazing with our cats, our cats clearly felt very safe around her as my older cat usually never comes out for strangers. She must’ve felt like a safe place for my pets which completely put me and my partner at ease. Got good photos and updates of both and were well taken care of and looked very happy with her. ☺️

About: I have many years experience as a dog owner from childhood and, more recently, having done over 50 petsits since 2020 caring for a wide variety of dogs, cats, small animals, chickens and the occasional pony/horse. I adore animals and pride myself on ensuring that pets are safe and secure in their own home while their pet parents are absent. I am spotlessly clean and organised and work around the routine of the animals I care for, while ensuring that the home I am staying in is kept immaculately clean and secure. I currently work online as an English language tutor, approximately 3 mornings a week for a total of around 10 hours. This has always worked out well and complimented my pet-caring work as the teaching fits well around caring for animals in their homes. However, I emphasise that I work around the individual needs and routine of the animals I care for as they are the utmost priority. Before accepting a petsit, I make absolutely sure that the 'fit' is right for both me, the home owner and, most importantly, for the animal. If I feel that I can't provide exactly the care that an animal requires, then I will not accept the work. I do this first and foremost because I love animals. I like to make sure that the home/animal owner fills me in completely on what is required to both care for their pets and their home and that everything is in place to ensure confidence from everyone concerned. Once I am certain that I can confidently provide what is required I am prepared to accept a new client.

I’ve used Hannah twice now as a cat sitter for my two cats and I honestly couldn’t recommend her more. She’s friendly, super reliable, and clearly loves animals. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in safe hands while I’m away. Hannah gives great updates and really takes the time to care for them properly. I’ll definitely be booking her again!

About: I’ve been picking up waifs and strays since 2005. My dogs have always been unwanted mixed breed rescue pups. I’m so proud of how they all turned out. I love dogs in general and have dealt with dogs with trauma issues and reactiveness. Happy to adapt to individual dogs needs. I have experience with senior dogs too. As I have my own dogs, all sitting and boarding will be in my home. I have a secure garden. Your dog would become part of the pack whilst here. Walks and visits are also available. I am off work/in transition at the moment. Free most days, evenings and nights. My dogs are extremely well catered for and yours would be too if joining our pack. I have a secure garden and local park round the corner. Happy to offer longer adventure walks 1-2 hours if required. I can transport dogs as long as they are savvy enough in the front seat of my van. Again, happy to listen to owners and adapt to individual dogs needs.

Lewis was absolutely perfect for Rebus our 8 year old German Shepherd with lots of mobility issues. We were so nervous about leaving him but the home visits were exactly what we needed and Lewis quickly enabled us to relax and stop worrying about our baby. We received reassuring text and pics after each visit (9 in all). He required medication twice a day and everything was dealt with extremely professionally. We would not hesitate to use Lewis again in the future. He is kind and genuinely gives 100% to his job.

About: I may not own a dog, but I’ve happily walked friends’ dogs, know how to feed and water them, and always give care and attention. I study fine art full time and work part time but that doesn’t stop me from checking on all pets. That can be some days a week or on the weekends. I will always ask you the owner what you are comfortable with me doing as it is your pet and your home. I can easily adapt to whatever you need me to do.

About: I currently live in a house with 3 boy cats aged 1,2 and 4. I have taken care of them alone whilst flatmates were away on trips. I have also helped care for a friends puppy when needed! I’m very flexible as I am not currently working, I am at Glasgow Clyde college Monday to Wednesday. So any homes in Glasgow are very convenient as I have to travel in and out of Glasgow a lot! Also keen to work in other areas like Edinburgh as on my free days I stay in Livingston. I’m happy to walk dogs in any weather, I’ve used harnesses and leads before. I’ll take care of dogs waste and cats litter box, I groom my cats frequently and vacuum any shedded hair. And happy to feed them at their routine eating times. If they prefer their own space or want frequent engagement I am happy to do either

About: Hi, I'm Damien and the owner of my own Border Terrier, Brucey who would love the extra company! I've also watched other friends dogs so have plenty of experience in dog sitting multiple pets! I currently work from home full time so would be with your dog 24/7. I also have a very flexible work pattern so I am able to arrange work around walks to suit. I only let my dog off leash when I know the surrounding area is safe for him to be off. I have access to lots of green, safe spaces to go walks and let the dogs run around as much or a little as they want.

About: Experienced with large, high-energy dogs and senior pets. Owner of a young Doberman-Lab cross; previously cared for Rottweiler, German Shepherd, and cats living into their mid-20s. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of spare time. I actively train and care for my own large dog, so I’m available for regular walks and in-home sitting. I prioritise safety, routine, and clear communication at all times. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I follow their instructions closely, maintain normal routines, and ensure the environment is secure and calm. For walks, I use appropriate leads and harnesses, assess surroundings carefully, and adjust walks to each dog’s temperament, whether solo or group. I monitor behaviour, energy levels, and wellbeing throughout. I keep homes tidy and respected, provide regular updates, and always aim to create a stress-free, trustworthy experience for both pets and owners.

About: I had a family dog when I was a child that I would walk and feed and bathe from the age of 10 and now as an adult I have two cats and a rambunctious pup that I take constant care of! I’ve also had Guinea pigs, rats and hamsters in the past so I definitely know a thing or two about pets! I am reliable and often the one to look after pets belonging to friends and family while they’re away. I currently work part time so I will have plenty of time to look after your furry friends every need and want! I am available mostly in the mornings during the week. I will pay constant attention to your fur baby while sitting for them as I just adore animals! I am so enthusiastic with animals and love to get to know their little personalities.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and spent my childhood helping in my family’s boarding kennels, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. We have a spacious, secure garden where visiting dogs can play and relax, and I’m home full‑time so there’s always someone around. Our two dogs -Ralph, our gentle 11‑year‑old Jack Russell who spends the day sleeping by the fire, and Betsy our playful 1‑year‑old Beagle - love the company. Our daughters (5 and 8) adore animals too and keep the dogs entertained with games, cuddles, and the occasional sneaky treat. We live close to beautiful woodlands and reservoirs, so daily walks are part of our routine, your dog will always have company, comfort, and plenty of fun. I can be very flexible around your needs and scheduled. I also drive so can offer pick up/drop offs, a few days notice usually required. In my home, dogs enjoy constant company, a secure garden to explore, and a calm, family‑friendly atmosphere. I keep each pet’s usual routine at the heart of their stay; feeding times, walks, play, and quiet moments so they feel settled and safe from day one. We head out on daily woodland or reservoir walks & there is always someone at home to offer reassurance, attention, and plenty of affection.

About: Both me and my partner Zac have grown up and looked after Dogs and Cats for years. We have trained my own puppy and have looked after numerous friends, family and client's pets for long periods of times. We absolutely adore looking after all your little ones & Sky adores having friends stay at her home. I work from home everyday as I run my own Online Coaching Business so I have no problem looking after little ones running around me! I choose my own hours and am very flexible. I normally work around the pup’s schedule so they feel just at home and happy to cater in any way. My partner Zac also is home who has grown up with dogs and cats throughout his entire life and absolutely loves taking care of all our friendly visitors! He will cuddle them all night 💤 I have a fenced open garden with a locked gate. My puppy stays in the kitchen when I am out with white noise to avoid any distractions. We tend to split the dogs in the day if we do go out, so they have their well earned rest before they go back into play mode. I live right on the doorstep of the Murieston Trails which we regularly walk our pup down as there is lots to explore! I do have a crate but Sky is happy lounging on the sofa or in her bed and same goes for your own pups. She also sleeps upstairs at night and happy for your pups to sleep where they feel most comfortable at night. Your pups will have fill access to the house and garden throughout the day and night.

About: I’ve grown up most of my life having handled dogs and cats, mostly big dogs like German Shepherds and labradors which I used to train and take on walks. I now have a cat and a Jack Russell of my own. I currently work full time local to home during the weekdays although I am able to care for and walk dogs before and after work and/or any times on the weekends I have a larger home with plenty of space and my dog is well versed in going out on a lead. My cat is relaxed and unbothered old boy who just likes his peace in the windowsill.

Lucy is super gentle and helpful! I don't usually get a pet sitter, especially for such a short trip away, but my fur baby had an ear infection that needed a tablet and ear drops daily to cure. Lucy helped out with that and my babies liked her so much!
