Pet Sitters in Drylaw

Absolutely fantastic experience leaving our dog with Lena. She calmed him down and figured out ways to keep him happy and safe, as he is a very anxious little dog when first time with new sitters. We couldn't with for a better experience. Lena also kept us updated through the day, adjusted to our crazy timeline between meetings and work. Absolutely great. No words, just everything is perfect!

Our dog had a wonderful 2 night, weekend stay with Lena. He can be a bit anxious but Lena took all our notes thoughtfully and created a relaxing environment for our Bedlington whippet. I think they had a great time together! Wouldn’t hesitate to have him stay with her again. Highly recommend :)

Lena took great care if our 11 month old pup. It was our first time leaving her and we were worried about how she'd find it but Lena did an amazing job. She shows real compassion for the dog and the family, sending many updates with thoughtful messages. We would have no hesitation recommending Lena and would definitely book her again.

We’re absolutely delighted with the care that Lena gave to our 15 month old pup, Pascal and our cat, Midnight while staying with them in our house this past weekend. We were nervous about leaving them, especially Pascal as he can be quite anxious when we’re not around and he’s still young pup in training! We approached Lena due to her experience with anxious pups and her excellent reviews. It was absolutely the best decision! She really took her time to get to know us and Pascal. She asked us lots of questions about his routine and about his experience with a different sitter which hadn’t gone so well and we discussed what would help make this a really good sit. We booked a meet and great and a walk the week prior to us going so Pascal and Lena could get to know each other, so she could see how he was on the lead (we’d just introduced knew training techniques that we were keen were continued) and so we could show Lena round the house. When we left on Friday we were so confident that Pascal and Midnight were in the best hands. Lena sent us really thoughtful updates throughout the weekend which was so reassuring and we were really able to relax and have a great time away. We came home to happy pets and a tidy house - we couldn’t be happier! We won’t hesitate to book Lena again and fully recommend her!

Lena has watched our two little dogs many times now for a few days at a time up to a week. She has stayed at our flat a few times while watching them and is a very thoughtful house guest. Each time she takes such great care of them and sends us lots of videos and pictures (which we love!) and takes them on long walks (which they love!). We can tell she adores them and treats them so well, which is important for us while we’re away from them. I definitely recommend trusting Lena with your little one(s)!

Bandit’s first day with Lena went really well. She got him settled - chilled out, in fact - quickly. She sent lots of photos and videos to reassure me he was happy and having a good day. I’m sure Bandit will be back, Lena!

July 2024 Our Shih Tzus returned to Lena’s care this time for a 16 night stay in her home. The dogs were happy to return, greeting Lena enthusiastically! They quickly settled in while Lena took time to discuss any of their needs which may have changed since their last visit. Lena kept me updated daily with photos, videos and voice messages regarding their daily adventures. Their walks were varied and they clearly enjoyed spending time with Lena whether out and about or relaxing at home. Once again Lena went above and beyond, ensuring our dogs wellbeing and safety were taken care of. She has a real understanding of their personalities and needs. It will come as no surprise, that I would highly recommend Lena and that our dogs will return to her care again in the future.

Our Brucey had an amazing time with Lena as always, whilst we were getting married. He even got us a card 😊😊😊 Lena is the only person we are comfortable leaving little B with as he has massive separation anxiety and attention demands. Thank you again. …

Our two little Dachshunds loved being looked after by Lena in our home. Lena gave the dogs super walks and lots of attention, sharing this on videos to us every day, so we could see how content they were. Lena left our house very neat and tidy for our return and did every thing she could for us throughout her stay. Happy to recommend Lena to others. 😊

Lena walked our dog Monty over Easter. We found her very reliable, super careful and heaped lots of hugs, strokes and chats to make him feel well cared for. Plus videos of their walks. AThank you Lena. Will book you in next time we are away!!

Could not be more satisfied with Vivienne's professionalism, dedication, flexibility and devotion she gives to our wee pup. He always comes home happy and content and I know he has had a brilliant time. Vivienne has helped us out at very short notice on more than one occasion. I have absolutely no problem with the fact that she has access to our home and trust her implicitly with our beloved boy. I do not recognise the Vivienne that is described by another reviewer.

Do not under any circumstances use this service. I left the keys to my property with this woman and now she refuses to return them. Naturally my landlord is furious because we have had to change the locks. If you value the safety of your home do not use this service.

I used this lady for my little cooker spaniel I'm very happy to use her again Luigi my we cooker it's happy to see the lady to its jumping every where just when recognise her thank you very much Vivien we see more of us when need you to look after my baby

Very reliable service, who supported us when away and really cared for our cat. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Vivienne is a dedicated animal lover, who'll always provide the best service :-)

Highly recommended. Very professional service with a high quality standard of care.

Ffion is a lovely cat person and our wee Sophie was completely unfazed by the change in her life and all the attention she received. All quite hassle free for us. Thanks!

We have used Animal Antics for a few years now and I cannot recommend highly enough. Ffion provides a really professional service that means we never have to worry about Neep when we're away. Neep pictured during a visit, not missing us too much :-D

We were really happy with Ffi looking after Lola. She is not the easiest cat to look after and her and Ffi became friends really quickly, which was great for our peace of minds when away. Will be definitely booking with animal antics again!

Best pet sitting service in Edinburgh! Couldn’t recommend Animal Antics more! I have 3 cats. All different in their own ways and they catered for them all. One of mine is especially fussy when it comes to people. In the time I’ve had her she’s only liked 2 people. Well as soon as she met Ffi she was comfortable and smitten. I received daily reports with photos which made me feel at ease being away from my 3 pets. The company is very professional and caring. Best service I’ve had. I actually thought using Animal Antics was much better for my pets than having the neighbour or best friend pop in for them. Worth every penny! Great communication. Great pet knowledge. My pets loved Animal Antics and especially Ffi and I will be using them every time now!!! Couldn’t recommend more!

We were recommended Ffi by friends to look after our kitten. She’s really professional, came to meet us and the precious kitten before we went away. Ffi was calm and very flexible when we had to postpone due to air-traffic debacle. This was much appreciated as were the daily reports and photos. We would certainly recommend her as our cat is always happy and well-looked after.

Ffi is brilliant!! She is great at communicating and brilliant with the cats. It was important to us to find someone we could trust and it became immediately clear she was the right person. It has given us so much peace when we go away to know they are well cared for and getting all the fuss. Thank you!!!

Ffion is an absolute legend - a true professional! She looked after our cat so well, and he loved her. Happy cat and a stress-free time for us. Thank you so much!!

We recently became clients and had a meet n greet with Ffion, where we discussed our Mabel's needs. She took note and reassured us, answering all our many questions! While we were away, we looked forward every day to our emails where she updates you on how each visit went with pictures, too. Seeing how happy Mabel was made our holiday completely stress (and guilt!) free. Thanks Ffion, we are so happy to have found your services!

Ffion was AMAZING! Our cats can be quite timid & they loved her & the daily email updates were great & very reassuring - I cannot recommend this lovely service enough!

We discovered Fi at Animal Antics through neighbours when we lived in Edinburgh. As well as general pet sitting and feeding services, she always went above and beyond providing much play, care and love. We have recently moved to England and still use their services for general advice for our cat. Fi has such knowledge and passion when it comes to pet care, which has been a fantastic help to us. Our cat had an awful gastro issue and we had no idea how to fix, Fi recommended a new dry food which solved the problem in days. Our cat is a really shy wee thing, but loves Fi and often sat with her when she visited. Fi would send pictures to us which was just really wonderful to see and just one part of the excellent service we have always received.

I very highly recommend Hound Around. Almost a year ago, I began sending my dog twice a week for social interaction and supervised play and I have genuinely had to add a third day because she loves it so much. Mention the word ‘school’ to Tawny and the ears prick up and she starts looking for her collar. To see her scrabbling to get out of the car when we arrive shows how much she loves going. Invariably when I arrive to collect her, she is having such a lovely time that I get the very strong impression I’ve spoiled her fun by coming to pick her up! It means such a lot to me that I can leave her in a safe, kind place where she has fun, stimulation and lots of activity. The communication from Danielle and Steph is excellent and the photos that are posted after each day are testament to what a superb place it is. You can see from the photos and videos (and there are some absolute crackers!) just how much enjoyment the dogs are having and how good the facilities are. It is also so nice to see from them how the dogs form friendships and Tawny definitely has her ‘school besties’. I also really appreciated how reassuring the staff were when Tawny first started. At the time, she was quite skittish, due to being a rescue and having just lost her adopted elder brother, but they took time and patience, coaxing and reassuring her until she quickly settled in. It was such a good move. I wouldn’t think of Tawny being anywhere else for daycare. I’m so glad I found Hound Around.

Good facility - staff seem friendly and engaged with dogs. Very polite woof van driver and owner Danielle always happy to answer any queries. They take dogs of all sizes it seems, but keep them separated by size/age/temperament. The area where the dogs are is secure and there’s loads of space for them to run around. My puppy really enjoys it. He goes straight to sleep when he’s back home! The only minus is the location if you’re not driving, as getting there by public transport is a mission. They do offer pick up van service though, but you have to book in advance and via email.

Great service, friendly, dog-focused staff, my pup loves it! Plenty of outdoor space, separate areas for different personalities so no-one gets overwhelmed. Indoor area for really bad weather. Really easy booking system. Excellent all round.

Dakota absolutely loves Hound Around Day Care. She runs in without a backward glance at me! She was only four months when I first took her for her introduction and was a bit nervous being a puppy with new surroundings and dogs, so we just tried with two hours to start with then four hours and now she goes the whole day once or twice a week. She is an Alaskan malamute so a big puppy but with the nicest temperament and just loves to play. Everyone is so lovely and caring towards her and this is obvious with how immensely happy she is going in and her interaction with Danielle and everyone there. Thank you so much for looking after her so well 🫶

Hound Around is an excellent dog daycare facility! The staff are all extremely caring and cautious with the dogs that go through their doors and treat them as their own! The space really gives the dogs a chance to run around and have an enjoyable experience every day! Highly recommend if you are looking for a safe space for your furry little friend ◡̈

Update to my review : some of the comments in the response below are actually not true at all, at the initial visit I was not allowed to watch from the window, despite asking if I could, and I was never insistent about her going into the field. I allowed the staff to handle this in the way they suggested and now I just feel it was not handled well. I witnessed a staff member grab her by the collar and pull her into the area before the door. This kind of approach can stress out anxious dogs. Original review: I tried to take my dog here after hearing some good reviews but was disappointed. They didn't introduce my dog to the existing dogs in a controlled manner, or slowly, they just put her in a field with a large number of dogs (up to 40 they said) that obviously she didn't know. If I were put into a group with 40 strangers I would be nervous too, and in my opinion this is not a smart approach. They were unwilling to work with her anxiety, told me she was mouthy with dogs, (which she does when she is exerting boundaries with puppies/badly behaved dogs), and they also said she was snapping at people, which in my 9 years of having her I have never seen her do except once when she was handled very aggressively by a vet. I was not allowed to watch or go out with her but what I did observe was someone aggressively pulling her by the collar. They just didn't seem to have an approach that embraces dog handling expertise. My dog went to a smaller daycare for years and has been hiking with doggy groups for a long time and never once had an issue. I agree that she does have some anxiety on initial meetings, but my expectation of a daycare that handles up to 80 dogs per day is that they should be able to demonstrate significant knowledge and expertise in handling and caring for dogs. And given that they were not willing to take her on as a client I did not expect to be charged for the 2 hour session, but they insisted.

Hound Around is amazing and such a find! Our Romanian rescue has taken a little bit of adjusting and has been so timid and nervous but after one day at Hound Around with the amazing staff and playing with the other dogs she has improved so much. Her confidence is soaring and going to Doggy Day Care is definitely her favourite day of the week - she is so excited to get there. Cannot recommend enough, the team there are fantastic.

Our dog has been going to Hound Around Day Care for a couple of weeks now and it has been fantastic. Danielle and the team are fantastic, reliable and really caring towards the dogs. Rocco is always really excited in the morning when we take him to day care and his socialization outside of day care has improved a great amount. The updates on instagram are also lovely to see!

This is such a great doggy daycare facility, it’s a gem! The site is large with plenty of space for dogs to play, the staff are all excellent, very caring and safety conscious, and we’ve appreciated the flexibility around changing pick ups and drops off to fit around our work and other commitments. Our dog is excited to go every time and always so well looked after, and tired out! Thanks to the excellent staff.

The best daycare! Our dog is nervous and Hound Around did everything to make sure he was comfortable from the start. They're really great with all the dogs and make sure they're all safe and happy. My dog is always excited to go so he also gives it 5 enthusiastic tail wags on top of the 5 stars.

Unfortunately, my dog was involved in an ‘incident’ while in their care. I spoke with bark n fly on the phone at 12pm 7th of March while at work and was told that a dog had ran over to mine and had bitten him on the ear (“nipped”) and there were some marks left underneath his front shoulder. We were told that he did not need picked up early and was fine after the incident as he was acting like himself. I was told it was up to owners if they wanted to opt for stitches on the ear or let it heal itself but to possibly get some antibiotics from the vet to avoid infection. I had booked my dog into the vet just to be sure. I was told the dogs had been separated and that the other owner would be told about the incident. I was also told that it would’ve been my dog that would get moved groups in future as he had been placed with the larger dogs. When I arrived to collect my dog, he came limping down the steps and I initially was looking for the cut on his ear when I noticed there was a major cut on his leg. After seeing my dog close up I could tell he would need stitches at the top of his leg and there would definitely be no ‘owner choice’ in regards to his wound. The worker told me he had been asleep for the last 2 hours which is very out of character for my young beagle and he has never done that while at day care before. I told the worker that he clearly needs stitches and they looked at his wound and addressed my dog and asked him if he had been “licking it while I wasn’t watching”. No amount of licking could have caused the open wound on his arm, I had no response to this and picked him up to go to the vets. I could see that my dog had been bitten multiple times and this was not a result of playing. I had to lift my dog to the car as he refused to walk any further and I left in tears. After taking my dog to the vet, they could see that he would need stitches and booked him in for the following morning. He had to be injected with antibiotics and painkillers, wound cleaned and given a cone to stop him making the cut worse. My insurance covered the £550 vet bills but I paid £160 excess for his injuries. In his procedure he had to get 3 different lots of stitches. After seeking a dog walker, they also had a look at the injuries and described it as he had clearly been mauled by the other dog. I was not told that the other dog who had done this would no longer be allowed to attend the daycare and I also feel upset that their owner will not know the extent of the incident and will not hear the final outcome. I had no confirmation about what had been said to the other owner. I wish that I had known the extent of his injury and I would have collected him straight away and taken him to the vet rather than him being hurt and left for 4 hours. Since then, Bark N Fly told me that they would pay me back the excess amount of £160 which took 2 months to receive back. I am only posting my experience now as although I stopped using their services I feel that other dogs owners should know about my dogs experience using Bark N Fly.

We've used Bark n Fly's services several times now and have been impressed each time. The gentleman that does the pick up is always kind and patient, and when we went to the place in person the staff were also helpful. We thought the facilities were impressive, too. Our dog (pictured in our local park) is very nervous of people but Bark n Fly assured us she'd be okay and have been most professional. I would absolutely recommend them if you need your dog cared for.

My pup Daisy loves the day care facilities at Bark n Fly. The pickup/drop off service is really handy. Daisy recently stayed for just under a week in the boarding services and had a great time, I appreciated the pictures of her playing and living her best life! Will definitely keep using Bark n Fly and highly recommend

This is the first time we have used kennels for our two dogs Winnie and Mylo, Dawn and her team were great and helped us get everything organised for their stay. Winnie is a typical outgoing wee white fluff ball but Mylo is quite a nervous dog but they were so good and caring with him and the genuine affection shown by Abby and the other staff helped him relax, come out of his shell and enjoy his stay. We will definitely use them again. Thanks Kevin & Lynne

This was our first time using the boarding service at Bark n Fly. When we picked our Westie Mara up after a wee, she tried to run back inside the building - so she must have absolutely loved it! Staff were friendly and gave some nice feedback on her stay. We will definitely use you again when we go away.

20 min waiting for someone at reception and nothing. Looks like I will lose my appointment at 10am due to not being able to leave my dogs for care. If you leave your dog here make sure you have enough, more than enough time. Looks like a nice place but no one at the front. Edited review - Don’t know how to reply to the “lies” I called - someone said would be there soon (disregarding the las two, dialled by mistake) so yes, there are calls. Be aware that someone answered so this is not a lie - perhaps you don’t know the call is registered on the callers phone. I was there at 9:22 with one of my dogs outside - took the picture because I knew this would be contested. So, yes, I did follow the instructions given in the door and yet nothing. Again, looks like a nice place but give yourself plenty, plenty of time and maybe someone will be at the reception.

Fantastic day care and boarding centre. Very friendly and helpful staff, and super convenient pick up / drop off service. When our dog was a puppy we really liked that we could get her acclimated to being away by starting with a half day at day care, progressing to a full day, and then to overnight stays. Our dog always loves her time there and comes home very sleepy from all the playing!

Chippy seemed very happy staying over!

The Bark n Fly is amazing! They’re services are great! They picked up and delivered our dogs and both drivers were friendly, helpful and so patient with Ruby and Leia! We also could follow them on Instagram and check how much fun the dogs had playing around! They arrived home very happy (and equally exhausted because of the great time they had). I have no words to express how grateful we are to have found such nice people to take care of them while we are away 💙

We have a very active 18 months old GSP, who has struggled with home boarding so decided to try Bark’n’Fly. The team were very knowledgeable and gave us great advice on how to help her adjust to staying overnight. Coco has now been going for 3 months and her separation anxiety is gone! She recognises the staff and can’t wait to play in the fields with all the other dogs. We love checking Instagram to see if we can see a picture of Coco having fun on their account! I recommend the team and the set up, especially if you have an active dog, it’s great for them to be able to play all day

Deciding who to look after your beloved cats is a big decision & after using Sheena for the first time while I went away on holiday I would not hesitate to use her again & recommend her to anyone who is looking for a caring, attentive cat sitter. Sheena came to meet my cats the week before I went on holiday & asked lots of great questions about their routine & the care they would need from her. She sent me photos of my cats at each visit & spent time playing with them & giving them lots of cuddles. It was a huge weight off my mind knowing my cats were at home in their usual environment & being looked after so well by a very caring person!

We’ve had a great experience using Feline Fabulous to look after our two cats. Sheena is absolutely lovely and came around to meet them and us before the first visit. The updates are always full of lovely photos and each time we’ve come back to two very happy, content cats. One of our cats is quite shy and nervous around new people but took to Sheena straight away, which says it all! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Feline Fabulous!

Would absolutely recommend the lovely Sheena from Feline Fabulous Edinburgh. Sheena provided brilliant daily care for our little cat over the Christmas holidays. We got adorable daily updates on her well-being. From the updates we could see there was lots of cuddles and treats and we came back to a very happy well cared for kitty. Sheena called around before we left to meet us and our wee cat and she’s a lovely person who really cares about what she’s does. An excellent service. 🐾❤️

This was the first time we have used a cat sitter to look after our fur babies. We were pretty nervous about leaving the house and them, however from the start Sheena made me feel at ease. She is such a lovely person and took such good care of our home and cats. We got daily updates and photos via whatsapp which let us know they were looked after. We will defo use again without hesitation. Thank you again.

We were so pleased we asked Sheena to look after our cat. She was very flexible with meeting before our weekend away, very friendly and keen to meet our cat beforehand so that they knew each other - which I thought was very caring of her. She kept us updated with photos and spent quality time with our cat as well as providing her care. Will be using her again! Thanks Sheena.

Sheena was fabulous and was able to fit our Simba in for visits at short notice. Receiving lovely pictures everyday put our minds at ease - especially my daughters. He was well looked after and a bright happy boy when we came home from our long weekend away. Thanks again Sheena!

Highly recommend Sheena she is fantastic her professionalism, patience and care shines through. Our flight was delayed and were going to miss our connecting flight home leaving us stranded overnight, got in touch and she made sure our wee one was fine untill we got home. Willow is a timid wee cat that dosnt really do strangers, she rescued me from the cat and dog home 9years ago and just likes me and the hubby, within days she was purring away on sheenas lap. Loved seeing the daily photos and getting our willow updates put my mind at complete ease.

We have been using Sheena for over a year now to look after our cat Baxter, and I can highly recommend her. She goes above and beyond in all she does and dealing with her is a delight. Baxter loves her visits, she sends lots of photos and spends a good amount of time with him. I only have positive things to say about her, thanks Sheena x

We used Sheena for cat sitting for our two cats for the first time - having previously used catteries. Our cats weren’t doing well with catteries and got very stressed. Allowing them to stay at home while we were away was clearly less stressful on them. The cats took to Sheena quickly (even our very tentative cat!) and the daily picture updates helped settle our minds! Came home to two happy, healthy cats and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sheena

We hired Feline Fabulous to check in our 2 cats while we were away for 10 days. They provided pictures every day that I didn't feel pressured to respond to but was reassured by. They fed, topped up water, changed litter and played with the cats. I felt confident that had an emergency occured or if I had extra requirements they would have been able to accommodate them. And I felt it was all very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend this over forcing your cats onto friends/family or a cattery. Will absolutely be using them again.

We had our 6 month old puppy old English bulldog in for a trial this morning, from drop off to pick up the staff kept us updated through there social media, our puppy looked so comfortable and relaxed, the staff are extremely kind and professional, she is now fast asleep after a playful morning. She will be going back very soon, would highly recommend Winston’s☺️

After looking at the reviews for Winston's, I was really excited to sign my dog up. Looking at the website, it states that they accept small-medium breeds, my dog will fall within the medium category when fully grown. Unfortunately the afternoon before her trial, I got a message letting me know that my dog won't be accepted due to her size when fully grown. Such a shame and a little inconvenient. The information on the website needs to be changed so it is clear they only accept smaller breeds. The staff member that sent me the message was really lovely though!

Our dog has an absolute blast visiting Winston’s. They post videos and photos on Instagram all day so you get to see what a great time they’re having and the staff couldn’t be nicer and, more importantly, love on our dogs like they were their own. It’s especially excellent when we’re on holiday, as it means we get to see videos of our dog having an amazing time, relieving some of the guilt we feel for leaving him 😂🥰

One of the best doggy day cares that I have left my little cockapoo at. All the staff are amazing and he is always super excited to return and very tired at the end of the day after a fun filled day of play. Very happy dog, very happy owner! Would certainly highly recommend Winstons

i would happily recommend this doggy day care. they are so in tune with the dogs and really look out for their best interests. it turned out to not be the right environment for my dog after a couple of sessions, but they were so caring and kind about everything i wouldnt hestitate to recommend to others!

Winston’s is so great! My pup goes twice a week and loves it- she’s always so happy to see everyone and gets lots of love from the staff. Their communication is always good and having the Instagram to check during the day is great as they put lots of pictures and videos up. Also very easy to book via the online system. Great place, highly recommend 🐾

Our dog loves it there! Every morning he's dropped off he cannot wait to go inside and see everyone and in the evening, he comes back absolutely exhausted. The staff are excellent, they give you an update on what's happened each day and you can see how well they treat all dogs. Would definitely recommend.

I have been sending my dog there for about six months, and he loves it! The place is well staffed for the amount of dogs that are there, and his every need is cared for while he's there - He's fed, walked and played with! Would recommend Winstons if your looking to get a break, or even socialise your dog.

Not great,environment for certain dogs, especially as a couple hadn’t been neutered yet and got very aggressive so put in a cage The noise of the loud barking can’t be healthy Plus two of the dogs while I was there, where in small cages and looked really to timid to be in such a hyper loud environment

Jordan was very welcoming and professional. He kept me up to date with regular photos throughout the day. Very good price for the service he provides. Would highly recommend this service to anybody.

Since moving back into the city centre, Huckleberry hounds have been great for getting my dog out of town on my office day and into the countryside on the types of adventures he’s used to. Candice has been fantastic with getting him used to her van and integrating him into the pack. She also sends updates so you know where they’ve been etc and provides a great handover.

This is a fantastic dog care service. My 16 month old lab loves his adventures and forest walks. He gets so excited to go with his friends each week. He comes back exhausted and happy. Candice provides excellent and attentive care for the dogs. The walks are fantastic and the Photo/video updates are wonderful. I also think that the open communication in regards to how my dog is doing is brilliant. Overall 10/10 for every aspect. Would highly recommend Huckleberry Adventure Days

Candice has known my greyhound (Maggie) for about a year and has been walking her for the past two months. Candice is brilliant with Maggie. She is patient and gentle with her, and Maggie is always delighted when she sees Candice's van pulling up outside. Maggie loves her adventures with Huck and the rest of the gang. Candice is reliable and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend her services!

Candice is a brilliant dog walker and genuinely lovely person. She puts so much effort into ensuring her dogs are in with the right groups and prioritises their safety and enjoyment over everything. My dog had so much fun with her and was very well looked after. I'd always highly recommend Candice!

Candice has been taking my sprocker on adventures for the second half of this year and it’s been absolutely brilliant! He always comes back exhausted and it’s really nice to get photos and videos during the day of what they are up to. Spot on for high energy breeds who need to burn off more energy than during the usual morning / evening walks. I couldn’t recommend Huckleberry Adventures enough!

Candice is absolutely amazing if you have an energetic dog requiring proper exercise and genuinely fun, varied and exhausting adventures! She really thinks about the personalities within a group to ensure they bond as a pack and has worked closely with me to address any ongoing puppy behaviours. My 18 month lab, Elsa, adores her and her own retriever, Huck, and she comes back happy and exhausted. I’d give 10 stars if I could! Can’t recommend her highly enough. Before and after pics attached!

My working Cocker Spaniel puppy has endless energy, but is also quite shy and can be anxious. And I was certainly nervous about handing her over because she can be quite a handful. Candice has been fantastic with her (and me) from the very beginning. We had an initial meet and greet and have maintained open and honest communication. She has really blossomed and absolutely loves all the varied adventures with Candice and her puppy pals. I love receiving the photo and video updates. They not only show me what she is getting up to, but I am also able to see her confidence improving. Candice clearly loves what she does and invests so much care and attention to her services; I always know my girl is safe and well looked after. I highly and enthusiastically recommend Candice and Huckleberry Adventure Days.

I am one half of 'We Will Walk You Edinburgh', a dog walking business in the north west of Edinburgh. Candice has come out with us on group walks many times, and our dogs have enjoyed walking with her very much. I would 100% recommend Huckleberry Adventure Days to clients looking for daycare services. I have seen how much fun the dogs have on their amazing adventures. Your dog will be guaranteed to come home very tired and happy. The hucklebus is also very luxurious, and it is the best way for your dog to travel in style!

Candice is amazing with my dogs! She is reliable, responsible, safe, and my two have the best time. They come back so happy. I just couldn't do the adventures she does with them! They love it! She also has a lovely van with all the mod cons. My boys can't wait to get in when it pulls up outside. So useful to have the pick up / drop off service, especially when working from home. Thank you from me, best dog walking/adventure service I've ever used.

If I could add more stars, I would! We LOVE Huckleberry Adventure days! Our dog, Harrison, goes on weekly adventures with Huck and his crew, and comes back whooped. Harrison is a high energy pup who needs time to run around, so Huckleberry is the perfect place for him. Also, Candice sends pictures and videos, which I am grateful for to see what Harrison is up to. Most days I find myself jealous of Harrison's adventures while I am at work, haha!

Tammie walks my little dog Daisy and has done now for over 3 years. I love that Tammie knows all the dogs she walks so well, makes instant connections and is so attuned to their needs and personalities and treats them all as her little family (The Clan). I have complete trust in Clan Canines. Daisy's had some problems with her legs on the past and Tammie has been amazing, keeping an eye on her, and adapting where appropriate. Clan Canines is definitely not ‘just a job’ for Tammie as she’s so driven to develop herself in order to provide the best service possible. I know that if there was something she was unsure of with a dog she would be resourceful and contact the right people to help and probably enrol herself in a course so you know exactly how to handle the situation in the future, then share her new knowledge with others! Everything is considered thoroughly and with excellent professionalism and I think this helps her clients have full trust in her! In all the photos from the walks Daisy always has a giant grin, and she is so happily sleepy afterwards! I get excited on Daisy’s behalf and look forward to days that she is with Tammie as I know how happy she is when with the clan!

We absolutely love Clan Canines! Our dog loves going out with Tammie and doggy pals for walks and we love seeing the photos Tammie posts everyday. The organisation and communication with clients is excellent and we feel really confident that our dog is well looked after.

You'll not be disappointed! Tammie offers an amazing, personable service. She always has your dogs needs foremost in her mind and I trust her implicitly. My dog absolutely loves her and can't wait for her walks each week!

Tammie and her team are excellent! Our dog absolutely loves his walks and it is clear how much the walkers love the dogs. Tammie is very efficient in managing the administrative side of the business as well and is creative in her offer. We have been using Clan Canines since they started several years ago, and I can't recommend them highly enough.

My dog has been a member of Tammie’s clan for over a year now. For me it has been a very stress-free and reassuring experience. I feel lucky to have found Clan Canines for Bailey who is always so excited when she is collected. I love seeing the photos and sometimes little videos of her having a great time on her walks and love that she gets a variety of walks in different locations when I’m working. I couldn’t ask for anything more or different from a dog walking company than what Clan Canines provides.

Clan Canines provide a fantastic service. Tammie walks my dog Rafa, a border collie, and he adores her and loves his walks. He's a pretty energetic dog so it's great to have a service that gives him plenty of activity. It's also nice seeing the pictures of all the dogs having a lovely time. The service is very reliable and professional. Also, as this is 2020, there are excellent policies and procedures keeping everyone safe during the pandemic! Highly recommend.

Tammie has been taking our pup Leo on Clan Puppy Crusades for just over a month. When we first met Tammie, we could instantly tell how passionate she was about ensuring the dogs had the best time, and even took the time to ensure Leo would be walked with another suitable pup - but importantly her knowledge and patience which we knew was needed for our pup. Leo was quite nervous on walks, and often we couldn’t get him past the end of the street. Since going out with Tammie and the clan, the weekly improvement in Leo confidence is phenomenal! To the point we now struggle to get him back inside... I can’t recommend Tammie enough!

Myself and my boyfriend have recently moved into the area and desperately needed a good dog walker due to the way our shifts worked. We were recommended to Tammie and now we can't recommend her enough! She is absolutley fantastic, takes the dogs great walks, is professional yet very friendly and is flexible for her clients. I even locked myself out the house and Tammie came to the rescue! She constantly goes the extra mile and we both love how active she is on social media, posting pictures of all the dogs playing and running around every walk which is something I've not seen all that often from dog walkers. Our dog gets very excited when we mention Tammie and a few of the other dogs names too! If you're looking for a reliable, trustworthy, professional, experienced and overall lovely dog walking service, then Clan Canines would be for you!

Benji our miniature Australian Labradoodle has been walking with Clan Canines for two years now. We were a little unsure as to how safe we would feel with someone else taking a rather nervous dog out, but, how wrong were we! Tammie looks after all the dogs so well and he loves meeting up with them so much. It has been the best decision we’ve ever made and we would have no hesitation in recommending Tammie as quite simply the best dog walker in Edinburgh. When I was in hospital for a couple of weeks recently Benji boarded with Tammie and I think he was sad to come home as he clearly enjoyed his time with her. She saved our lives without hesitation and her devotion cannot be faulted.

Clan Canines is absolutely superb!!! Tammie is fantastic and an amazing walker! She walks our dog Mia who absolutely loves her and gets so excited when she gets picked up because she knows she’s in for a lot of fun!! Tammie knows all her dogs so well and really goes the extra mile...we are so pleased we managed to find Clan Canines!

Waggy Wanderers have been fabulous helping walk/entertain our big fella while myself and the wife are out at work all day. You'll get a serious amount of videograhy and photos of your prized fur ball out and about on his adventures with Laura and his wee doggy pals too which is brilliant to see (few high quality snaps attached for example). Great service 👏

Laura pet sat my house rabbit for a week and was absolutely amazing. It's always scary leaving your pet with someone new for the first time (especially when they're quite sensitive and not particularly fond of people like my boy is!) but Laura was very competent and kind, and really respected his individual needs. I could tell from the daily updates she sent that he was comfortable and being looked after very well, which was so reassuring whilst I was away. She was an absolute godsend and I wouldn't hesitate to have her pet sit for me again in the future.

Laura at Waggy Wanderers Pet Care is simply amazing with our fur baby. From day one she’s worked with us to meet our dogs needs and has helped with his training hugely. Laura takes time to get to know the dogs and really does cater for individual needs. She’s also super flexible and always try’s her best to meet our schedule. I couldn’t recommend Laura more!! Added bonus that Laura shares updates/photos of the walks with us via WhatsApp and Facebook which is so lovely to see. Our dog absolutely loves his time with his Laura!

We have 2 rescue dogs that can be very nervous on walks, and Laura is great with them and they love when they go on their walks with Laura. Laura has been very flexible when helping organise walks to fit the dogs with my shift work, She is very trustworthy and I would highly recommend Laura to anyone.

Laura is amazing with our dog. He loves going for walks with her and we get great footage (video and photo) of the time they spend together. Laura is reliable and extremely trustworthy. An invaluable support to our family!

Laura has been, and is, a fantastic dog walker. She has been walking our dog since Lunan was just 12 weeks old (initially she did call-in puppy visits and then went from solo walks to integrating Lunan into group walks which are fantastic for socialising and tiring out our little one 😊). Laura communicates regularly with photos and videos to show how our dog got on that day/ week as well as checking in each week to ensure what services we need. Laura is incredibly flexible as she has changed days, times and even looked after Lunan in the evening time when events have arisen we have needed to attend. We landed so lucky with Laura and I cannot endorse her enough. She’s diligent, flexible and above all, a lover of dogs(and animals of all types): what else do you need from a dog walker?

Highly recommended. Friendly, professional service and the cats love her. Laura looked after our cats for a week, and we returned to two very chilled and happy cats, she even won over our male cat who can be very aloof with strangers! Laura sent us regular updates and even took care of watering the plants etc, we’ll definitely be using waggy wanderers again.

Laura is great with dogs. She is also very reliable and flexible. Overall she provides the great service!

Laura has been our dog Walker for over a year now and I really couldn’t ask for more She regularly checks in with us and shares the experiences our pooch has She is punctual, flexible and lets us know anything about our dog’s walk we may need to She comes highly recommended and you’d be as lucky as us to have her for your pet!

Miriam looked after our Cavapoo puppy Max for a week. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough. We had regular updates on Max throughout the week who was well looked after and cared for. We had complete piece of mind during our holiday. Miriam was great to deal with, she also provided us with a lot of useful tips and suggestions with Max going forward. She is very knowledgeable about dog breeds in general. Brilliant service and Max will be back for his ‘pawlidays’ again soon 🐾

Fantastic service throughout. Our little dog was well looked after and had a great time meeting new friends. It truly is a home from home service and we are already booked in for another. Thank you for all you do.

Gave me some very helpful feedback regarding my 2 doggies, although she couldn’t board them herself she was super insightful and gave me some other trusted boarder recommendations!

Honestly what a genuine lovely lady miriam is although she was fully booked on the dates I needed she went above and beyond with lots of helpful information moving forward, recommend advice she gave, the amount of time she took out her own day to talk with me reassuring me and going threw option I'm so grateful for. I would highly recommend her service based on our own chat for the last 2 hours nothing was a problem if anything I have gained knowledge/ understanding of my own wee dog this lady is hands down a lovely soul thank you Tanya x

I have been using Bespoke Home from Home Dog Boarding for many years - the first time was just after Miriam started it all! Border collie Mac was just a young dog then and he was always well cared for and given that extra special love and attention that you want for your special pet when you have to leave them. We have had 4 different carers over the years and all have been excellent. We now have two dogs, 2 border collies Mac and Midge, and whenever we leave them, we are confident that that they are in safe hands and that they will be cared for as you would care for them yourself at home. Sometimes, it is hard to tear them away and bring them home, they have had such a great time!! Thank you! :)

Unfortunately she couldn't board my dog, but she spent a lot of time with me trying to help me out. A very helpful lady who gave her time when she didn't have to.

Bespoke Dog Boarding was highly recommended to me by my vet. I telephoned the owner of the company and we had a detailed chat about my dog and his requirements, also his daily routine. I was most impressed by the owner of the company and can tell that she clearly is very knowledgeable about dog breeds in general. I was concerned that my dog who is a loveable middle aged lab, would be home boarded alongside, for example, a "Staffie" but after reading these other reviews, I am delighted to say that dogs who some may consider as potentially dangerous breeds would not be allowed to board with Bespoke Dog Boarding. This gave me peace of mind. I then met with one of the dog carers, who fell in love with my boy straight away and vice versa. The carers home and garden was beautiful. We spend over half an hour with the carer and played with my dog in the garden. I could see how happy he would be if he were to come here for his holidays. I have now used Bespoke Dog Boarding 3 times this year already as the service is fantastic. The dogs receive 3 or 4 lengthy walks each day, loving home comforts, constant companionship and I also received updates during my holiday followed by a selection of beautiful photographs after my holiday, showing Bailey having a super time with another 2 dogs from different families. When I collected him, he didn't want to leave!!!! I have now highly recommended Bespoke Dog Boarding to all of my dog friends. I would advise others to make a booking months in advance of your holiday as they are usually fully booked 6 months to a year in advance by all their regular clients. However I have sometimes asked for a short notice booking and if they have availability they will take Bailey. To the team of dog carers who may read this, thank-you for providing me with total peace of mind and I look forward to using your service for many more years to come.

Used Miriam for my dog Bailies 14 years at least three times a year and couldn’t fault her. She dosnt take dangerous breeds which I feel is a great thing as it is only for the safety of our own dogs . I can’t beleive the below negative posts when thease people have even used the company because they didn’t make it through the strict criteria . Well done Bespoke for not taking any dog just to make more money . Fabulous service and genuine dog lovers .

Had a good phone call with bespoke she gave me good advice highly recommend her will use her in the future thanks so much

Murdo has been looked after by Colin & Mary on several occasions. His second home, I have no problem leaving him and know he'll be well looked after with lots of walks and cuddles.
