I currently own a 9 months old male Border Collie who is very active, friendly and playful. I previously owned a Poodle, who was our family pet growing up. I often also look after my friends' cats and dogs. I love spending time with dogs and going for walks in nature.

I work as a healthcare support worker in a respite centre for children. I love all animals and I am experienced with both nervous and very active dogs.

My dog, Benji, is fully vaccinated, but not yet neutered as he is still too young. He is very friendly towards absolutely all dogs and loves to play and even share his toys! He has several friends at the dog park which we meet daily.

I work in shifts and have several days off a week, which I have set as my availability. I offer dog sitting at my home. I will spend all day with the dogs and give them all the attention they need. I am happy to take them on walks to the park, forest, hills, beach or shorter walks around the neighbourhood, depending on their preference. I understand how important routine is for a dog and also any other care requirements, so I am happy to follow everything as required. We usually go for walks in the Pentlands, in Colinton or Saughton park and at the Mortonhall walled garden as that is a safe enclosed place for dogs to run and play should they wish to.

I will send you regular updates and photos and would also love to meet and get to know your furry friend before their holidays or walks with us.
