Penny and her grand-daughter, Armelle, were very pleasant and left my cottage in good order. Even more importantly for me, my wee cat, Mia, looked healthy and happy (she was also certainly happy to see me). They stripped the beds (which I had told them they didn't have to do but definitely made it easier for me) and took all the bedding/towels etc. to the shed where my washing machine is. If they were willing, I would be happy to have them sit again.
Hannah was an amazing cat sitter. My shy boy warmed up to her straight away. My boisterous girl has asthma and hannah gave her meds when she needed it, and kept me updated the whole time I was away. Thanks hannah!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?

Our Bichon, Archie, went for his summer holidays with Lynne where she went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and looked after. We got daily updates and pictures of what he had been up to, he was really happy and relaxed with new doggie friends. He loved his home from home. He normally goes to family when we are on holiday but we were all away at the same time. I would not hesitate to use Lazy Bones in future, Lynne took Archie at a few weeks notice over the peak July holidays and did her best to make sure she could look after him for the days we needed. Lynne was fantastic and really cares for the dogs in her care. Archie is rather highly strung and barks at everything but he has been a lot calmer since his return - I am not sure what you did but thank you Lynne!
Lynne is absolutely fantastic, Chester is not the most sociable dachshund but Lynne works her magic and he always comes back better behaved!! Lynne has a real passion and care for every dog in her care.We always leave happy knowing that Chester is in great hands. Highly recommend 👍 …
Lynne was very kind to accomodate our greyhound Piper at very short notice and he's had many subsequent visits to her since. She does a phenomenal job and he's always so happy to be there. Lynne herself owns a couple of greyhounds which is fantastic for greyhounds who are maybe not so comfortable around other dogs.
Lynne is amazing! She looks after my dog Odin so well, he is always happy to go to Lynnes. Highly recommend.
Our dog Oscar has been staying with Lynne regularly for nearly 4 years (mostly daytime but with some overnights), and he loves it there. He is treated like one of the family and gets to play with his doggy pals. Lynne has always been accommodating of his and our needs, even if plans need to change at short notice. We couldn't ask for a better daycare and dog hotel,, and Lynne is a lovely person who cares a lot about her guests.
We were travelling through to Seton Sands for a weekend and contacted Lynne at very short notice to look after our dog for a few hours whilst we took the kids into the city for a day. Lynne was very accommodating and helpful. Her collection and pick up hours were flexible and allowed us to enjoy a family weekend away and still be able to take the dog with us. Highly recommend lazy bones dogs. Thanks again Lynn.
Went up with Maggie our bulldog to see Lynne to see if she could stay there in September when we go on holiday what a warm welcome and the house is doggiefied beds TV on for them back garden full and I mean full of different types of toys and a doggie sand pit.i knew from Maggie's behaviour she liked Lyynne and will be happy to stay with her.you couldn't meet a nicer person and her own dogs are lovely very chilled out.if your thinking of going on holiday please phone lynne your prince or princess will be in safe hands ali Wilson 🐶
Lynn is amazing and I would not want my dog staying anywhere else. I know when we need to go away that he is well looked after and she loves him. Definitely 5-star
My Cody boy was there for the first time, he loved it. Lynne was great with him and it was fab seeing pics of him on her fb page too! Would definitely recommend her.
Have taken my dog here since he was a pup and he loves it always sent photos and updates to let you know how he's getting on ! Best dog care in Edinburgh and the Lothians
My dog goes there one day a week and loves it. They make you feel so welcome and really care about what they do. I get pictures of Charlie throughout the day which really puts my mind at rest. I wouldnt take him anywhere else, lovely people so kind.
Our dog loved her stay with Leigh and family 🐕 Tilly was totally spoiled and enjoyed her time playing with the other dogs and all the attention she received. Would highly recommend ...definetly a home from home! …
My 2 jack Russell's had a ball highly recommend
Better than home!
Very loving atmosphere with brilliant service
I highly recommend Patchwork Petcare. Catriona is a fab pet carer and my cat loves her. I get daily updates with videos showing a happy kitty playing and engaging with Catriona. Catriona takes the time to let me know if my fur baby is eating well and I have no doubt that she would let me know of any concerns. All instructions are followed to the letter. The booking process is easy. Very happy customer.
Cat is the best pet sitter we have ever used. She provides a thoughtful and loving service, and attentively follows care instructions for our cats and snake. We have experienced her going above and beyond to make sure our pets get the service we have booked, and her communication and updates are brilliant. I can't recommend Patchwork Petcare highly enough!
Cat cared for our older cat in his own home while we were away. She visited daily, took good care of him and sent a regular written update and video so that we knew that he was doing well. Cat provides an excellent service and our cat loves her. I would definitely recommend her very professional and friendly services.
Cat was so patient and kind with our older cat. She spent time asking questions and getting to know Kula. She gave an update after every visit , sometimes with a photo. I am so pleased we found her . Will definitely keep using Patchwork Petcare and fully recommend the service which is fantastic .
Patchwork Petcare has been a life saver looking after my menagerie of furry &feathery friends &taking good care of them all! Visits are tailored to suit their needs for a very good price! I can't recommend highly enough!😃 …
Cat is honestly amazing! They looked after our two cats and snake over Christmas and we couldn't have asked for better service! We were updated every visit with pictures too. This is the best care our pets have ever had while we've been away and I cannot recommend enough
We use Patchwork Petcare as our go-to any time we are needing a hand with our bunnies. 2023 has been particularly busy for us and Catriona has been available for our rabbits offering security, flexibility and the reliability that we have needed during this time. I am quite particular about how my rabbits are cared for and I follow all welfare guidelines which are continually developing. Patchwork Petcare are happy to follow the specific guidelines that I set and show a good understanding of the pet. Rabbits care can be misunderstood and I appreciate Catriona's patience with my instructions and the care and attention to detail offered. The software system that Patchwork Petcare use is fab and easy to use, you can input all the details you think are necessary, view your schedule and invoices as well as communicate via the website. I had been let down in the past by a pet sitter who did not communicate with me when I felt it was needed and Catriona is very on the ball with communication and relaying relevant information (without bothering you on your holiday). We love to get daily updates and pictures of our bouncy bunnies and know that they are happy and comfortable. It is unusual having someone come to your home when you are not in, but I trust Catriona completely with my home and most importantly my adored pets!
Catriona has been absolutely Terrific, arriving twice a day and sharing regular updates and photos of our cat Dexter, who seemed to have a great time while we were on holidays. We couldn't trust her more with our beloved pet and our house. Excellent care, that gave us a real peace of mind. Thank you Catriona! :)
Fantastic service! Catriona is natural with animals and we will trust her to look after our cats any time. Thanks again for looking after Mau and Haru.
Fantastic service! My cats were very well taken care off while we have been on holidays! Catriona is very friendly and professional person.Highly recommended.
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!
Great shop for all dog supplies. Really good knowledge of the owners on pet foods, toys, etc. Also started a loyalty scheme for frequent buyers which looks great value.
Amazing shop! They LOVE dogs and you can tell :) got some really helpful advice about our pup who’s a very fussy eater and it’s worked!!
Quite simply put I love this shop and so do my dogs, lots of goodies and a huge choice of foods for our best friends and the staff are so lovely
Your shop is always very well stocked, prices are great plus stuff friendly and helpful. I have moved out from the area almost 3 years ago and still visiting the shop, when I am around. On many occasions I have asked friends and family to go there and buy goodies for my 3 dogs. Now I am also your online customer :-)
I ordered a gorgeous harness and lead, unfortunately the lead was out of stock but I was contacted straight the way to make arrangements for when it was back in stock a couple of days later. I then had my order posted out as promised on an am delivery to make sure I still had them for my weekend trip! Thanks so much guys, that’s choosing a small business for you 😊
Brilliant, great services, puppy loves puppy club and the range of products (food and other) is extensive and high quality
My puppy goes to daycare at carefree Canines and he loves it. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and happy to help with anything. I had a great experience getting a new harness and lead for my pup, it was fitted in store and I got to try a little walk outside to get a feel for it before buying. I always recommend to everyone to use carefree.
Great choice of food and treats on offer. Staff always very helpful with advice. Great products in store.
Fantastic place! They are full of helpful advice and so patient with my endless questions. It's great being able to try different sizes of harness, coats etc too. The online shop means I can order the big bags of food to my door too!
Such a great place for dog treats all natural food for them all..
In my experience, the owner, Jane, and staff at Cranstoun Kennel are knowledgeable and loving towards the dogs in their care. They handle special requests very well and are friendly and helpful to their customers. I have boarded my dogs there for both short and long trips, and I always feel that my dogs are in good, loving hands. The owners live on-site and keep a watchful eye on things. The facility is kept very clean and neat, and the kennel is always prepared for my dog so that the drop-off process is quick and smooth. I've recommended Cranstoun Kennel to many of my friends; they are open all year round with radiant heat to keep your dogs toasty warm in winter and soft Scottish breezes to cool them in summer.
Hector is happy to go off on his ‘holidays’ to Cranstoun, whilst we go on ours content in the knowledge he’s being well looked after.
These kennels have changed our lives. I thank my lucky stars that we found them. After too many years of not going on holiday. We are now travelling the world, knowing our dogs are happy and being well looked after here.
Our dog loves his holidays at the kennels. Lots of open space to play and dogs all seem happy when we drop him off.
Very experienced friendly owners and staff, made in easy for us to leave our furry family in their care. Really, clean well organised kennels, with super outside areas for exercise. We will definetely use again and highly recommend trying even if your wary of leaving your dogs in someone else's care. Ours trotted in tails wagging and trotted out tails wagging after their 4 day stay. We particularly appreciate being able to specify dietary needs and medications in detail. We also appreciated the staff being able to recognise our dogs personalities and accurately describe them to us. A sure sign of a great depth of knowledge.
I am so happy that we have found this kennel for Freddy. This was his 3rd time staying, and he was so happy and excited to be there when we arrived. Excellant caring and friendly staff.
Had my 4 cats stay for a number of weeks while we searched for a new home. They were looked after incredibly well.
Our Dog spends her holidays there. And is so well looked after. Highly recommended.
The owners go out of their way to ensure your pet is well looked after, and are more than happy for you to visit
Lovely owners, my dog was really looked after and wouldn't have any hesitation taking her back here 😊 …
Outstanding dog walkers! Rosie loves going her walks with Campbells Walkies. They are so attentive and loving towards her and she is very well cared for as Rosie gets so excited when they arrive for her! When Rosie comes home she is very settled and enjoys her nap and you know she has had lots of fun and adventures with them going various different walks in the week. Communication is excellent all round and you get a photo when she is home. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND Campbells Walkies to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy professional people to walk or care for your fur baby!
Linda has worked with our dog for almost 2 years now. It has been great 2 years! The dog is ALWAYS tired when he comes back from a walk, well taken care of and we get updates when he's dropped off or when something happens, AND he comes back wearing doggy perfumes if he rolls in some nasty stuff!! (btw you can smell them down the hallway so you know what to expect when you get in). I really think he's happier to see Linda then he is seeing me after a 2 week holiday. Overall great and professional service, will always recommend Campbells Walkies to everyone :)
Linda has been walking Luna now for 3 months and I have one happy dog when she sees Linda on the days she is taken out. On returning Luna I receive a message to confirm safely home when I am at work and always a fantastic picture of what she has been up to that day with her dog walking pals. Luna has really developed positively mixing with other dogs since Linda has taken her out. I would highly recommend Linda for the way she takes care of Luna and providing great walks at different locations around Musselburgh.
Cat & Linda are such great dog walkers! Freddie always seems very tired after his lovely walks with them!! I really appreciate how flexible and helpful they can be when we have alterations in our schedule!! Freddie can be a bit anxious with people but straight away he was very happy and wanted lots of cuddles! I would highly recommend them to anyone!! It’s lovely to receive a picture & update to let us know Freddie is home after his adventures!! 🐾
We have been using Campbells Walkies for almost 9 months now for our dog Ellie. Ellie loves Linda and can't run out the house quick enough when she sees the walkies car arrive. Linda is so friendly and accommodating she is just fab. We trust her completely with our little pup and I love seeing the videos and photos each walk. Ellie is knackered when she gets home as she has always had the best time running round with her pals - we wouldn't be without campbells walkies now! Thanks Linda
The highlights of our dog Morton's week are his walkies with Linda and his pupper chums. We could not have found a better, more caring and reliable service than we get from Linda. We would not hesitate to recommend Campbell's Walkies to anyone. We have a very happy dog and Linda is a large part of this! If there were more stars we would give them!
Campbells Walkies are excellent and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Linda has been walking our dog Duke since he was 12 weeks old, just over a year now. She is 100% reliable, honest and trustworthy. Duke absolutely adores her and the group walks she takes him on. He comes home from his walks exhausted and happy. It's great having Linda as our dog walker and I particularly enjoy the pictures she sends every day of Duke on his walk and the text to let me know when he's home safe and sound.
If you're looking for a dog walker Campbells Walkies is the best there is! I cant recommend Linda highly enough, she's been walking our boy for around 1yr now. Georgie bouces out the door when she arrives and aboslutely loves his adventures with and all his pupper pals! He always comes back exhausted too so I know he's had the best time 🥰 She posts daily photos of what they've been up to and it's a highlight to see all the doggies having so much fun! She's also super accommodating, very reliable and fully first aid trained too so I know he's in safe hands! With Linda you get more than just a dog walker you get someone who genuinely cares and I can tell by Georgie's reaction every time he sees her he adores her too 💗
Linda has been walking Daisy for a number of months now and absolutely loves it! She can’t wait to go out and spend time with Linda and the other doggies. She always comes back nice and tired with a silly grin on her face. Receiving a post-walk photo is a great idea as I know when she’s home safe. Linda is always very friendly and flexible and highly professional from the initial meet and greet. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog walker in the area.
Our dog Alfie absolutely loves Linda and goes crazy as soon as he knows it’s her at the door. Linda is so friendly and is great with the dogs, I always know he’s in safe hands and more importantly, he has ball when out. I could not recommend Campbells Walkies enough, I don’t know where we would be without her!
Laura has been absolutely fab. She communicates very easily about the timing of each walk, turns up promptly, and sends some lovely little videos of their adventures. The dogs are always so excited when she arrives. It's great they are getting a long off lead run for the majority of their walk with her. She's been such a gem of a find to take some pressure off when returning to work from mat leave. Couldn't recommend her enough. Thank you Laura!
We used Laura’s dog sitting service. Laura was very friendly and even popped over prior to meet the dogs which I thought was a lovely touch. Laura kept us updated and even sent us pictures. Our dogs loved Laura and were very happy. Will defo have Laura back again.
My Dog loves his time with Laura and he adores her and the time he spends with her, great service, always punctual, always with a smile and always with the dogs best interests physically and mentally in mind. Thanks Laura
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.
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)!
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!
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!!
