TOP DOGS is a family run dog walking and pet sitting business based in Peebles in the beautiful Scottish Borders.
We enjoy being around animals and looking after pets of all shapes and sizes. We have many years of experience with the care and proper handling of animals. For us it’s not just an ordinary job – it is our passion.

We have recently upgraded our cages and provided each dog with their own vet bed for added comfort whilst they’re in our care.
By means of our offer, we relieve pet owners who don’t always have the opportunity to allow their friend the necessary activity and contact with their fellow species. As a pet owner, you will gain a sense of independence in your daily life and at home by a relaxed and balanced animal. TOP DOGS can help you cater for your animal needs so they never feel alone when you are not around. We give your pet the love, attention and care, and of course the cuddles that it needs. You can be safe in the knowledge that your pet is happy, safe, excercised and socialised when you are at work or in holiday.Â
We offer a free initial meeting for you and your pet ensure all parties are 100% happy and comfortable with the arrangement. Our meet and greet consist of gathering information and answering questions, offering advice and picking up keys when needed. When all parties are satisfied, we can create together an individual plan for your animal as each animal is unique and needs a different handling and caring.
We can understand that there are concerns about entrusting someone completely strangers to their keys. Our client’s security is essential to us. Of course, we make a key handover protocol beforehand. Keys are stored in a locked and secure place and are not labelled with any identification that would link them to your property. In the unlikely event of them being lost TOP DOGS takes full responsibility by replacing them.Â
Equipped with a wealth of knowledge, such as the safe and confident leading of a dog group, the harmonious assembly of a dog group and the cognition of the needs of individual dog types, we are pleased to offer your dog a great walk.Â
