Dog and Property Sitting

 

Be the first to review

Dog and Property Sitting services are available throughout East Lothian, Edinburgh and parts of the Borders. Our services include:

• VIP dog walking
• Dog sitting day-time and/or overnight (up to 21 hours out of 24)
• Dog and property sitting day-time and/or overnight (up to 21 hours out of 24)

The service is tailor-made with priority given to the care of your dog or dogs. If you don’t want to send your dog to the kennels or if they don’t like being walked with lots of other dogs, we offer the ideal solution. Your dog could be a working dog or a cherished family pet, be elderly or have health or other issues, or just need that bit of extra TLC.

I provide a unique service in that I work hard to get to know your dog in its own environment before I take over its care.

I have over 30 years’ experience of living with, working and owning dogs. I love them but also respect them so they can be themselves.

About

I am capable, trustworthy and able to deal with situations as they arise. I am the type of person who will go the extra mile when looking after your dog, as this is second nature to me. I am an animal lover but have a lot of respect for them, making sure dogs can be dogs.

Many clients are nervous about using this service for the first time. It is crucially important that your concerns are immediately put to rest by meeting a friendly and caring person.

I have over 30 years experience with dogs and an excellent track record with animals as l come from a farm and veterinary background. l am happy to provide written references, as well as put you in touch with clients who are happy to talk to you and tell you of their experiences. I understand the importance of providing a professional service and have no logos on cars or clothing so no one needs to know you are away, ensuring the service is completely discreet.

I completely understand the importance of other concerns you have regarding the age, health and well- being of your animal if needed. I am happy to communicate with other professionals and take your dog to see them.

I will be in contact with you while you are away, in case of any problems and to provide up-to-date dogs’ antics.

Services

Dog and Property Sitting

This service means that not only do we step in and take over the care of your dog, but the house is occupied and checked daily. We can be there for up to 21 hours per day, for as many days as you want.

There is conclusive evidence that the risk of burglary is massively reduced if the home is occupied when the owners are away. Increasingly, insurers are encouraging home owners to leave their home in the hands of a home sitter.

Property and dog sitting includes the same service for your dog as the Dog Sitting Overnight package but also provides a basic property management service. We will keep an eye on:

  • Heating and fuel tank supplies
  • Lighting and security lights
  • Check stoves and fires
  • Monitor any pest problems
  • Keep a log of visitors e.g: gardeners, cleaners, tradesmen etc.
  • Check plumbing for leaks
  • Keep rooms aired
  • Get basic supplies in (milk and bread) for your return

How our services work

Following an enquiry by phone or email we arrange a visit. This visit is to get to know your dog and how you interact with it, see the property and for us to get to know each other. If we both agree that we can work together and trust each other, a second meeting is arranged.

This second meeting is for me to gather information about your dog and property care in detail. We would take the dog out for a walk together for me to learn the commands you use and then have a chat over a coffee! The second meeting could take a couple of hours and there is no charge for either of these meetings. If we agree we can go forward at this point a deposit is taken.
