Pet Sitters in West Lothian

Fran

Fran, and her son Angus, were great. They came out a day earlier, staying in a local hotel, in order to be available for a good hand-over the day of our departure. They were flexible on the day of our departure, tolerating our chaos and disorder with grace, even taking the dogs for a long walk while we fussed around the house, packing and loading the car. Fran regularly sent great photos of the two dogs, probably some of the best photos we have them. I want that camera. Both dogs were well cared for, and Ivys' food allergies well respected. The apartment was left clean and tidy, as well the fridge stocked with delicious meats and cheeses. Fran, come again. And here's hoping there are lot's of other house sits for you and yours in the future.

Taimi

Taimi did a weekend sit for us and looked after our dog and two cats, one of them required medication twice daily. The house was left in a good condition.

Nikolai

Nikolai and Lottie were lovely couple looking after our house, dogs and birds. They set us instantly at ease when we met them the evening before we left and the dogs instantly took a liking to them. They sent us photos every few days, which was nice. We came back to the house as we left it, we highly recommend them and would happily use them for future sits.

Daniel

Daniel and Alma were fabulous house and pet sitters! My pups (and turtle) just loved all of the cuddles and walks. I returned to an immaculate house and a happy 4-legged family!

Jaime & Erin

If I could 6/5 I would! Jamie, Erin and their boys were just the best housesitters we could have asked for. We went away for 3 weeks to get married and we had piece of mind knowing our dogs & home were taken care of. Erin and Jamie were great at communicating with us, right from the months before when we secured the sit, up until the 'thank you' message we got from them after the hosuesit. They were so loving towards our dogs, and when we returned our house was in better condition than when we left. Thank you so much, it was such a pleasure1

Anastassia

Anastassia was a great sitter. She was so easy to communicate with beforehand and she sent me lovely video and picture updates throughout. Hamish & Koko loved her and it was a weight off my mind knowing they were being well looked after. The house is also immaculate on my return. I would definitely have Anastassia come sit for me again and would highly recommend.

Mandy

Mandy & Spike were amazing pet sitters.. nothing phased them at all. We have quite a menagerie of pets including donkeys, sheep, hens & pigs & both Mandy & Spike enthusiastically looked after them whilst we were away. We felt very comfortable with them as soon as we met. They are reliable, friendly, efficient, fun & totally trustworthy. We're hoping they'll return again soon.

Laura

Laura was a very caring and careful dogsitter and I would recommend her to others. She took Misha on loads of walks across town and he was relaxed on my return.

Donna

Donna was a delight from start to finish! The dogs and fish were incredibly well cared for and I received multiple pictures and updates whilst I was away-the house was left spotless and Coco and Minnie sad to see Donna leave! Please come back soon !

Freya

Freya was a brilliant cat sitter for our cat Topaz. She sent updates regularly and made the whole process very smooth. She even came up with ways to get our cat to be active and play with her. We would highly recommend her as a cat sitter.

Megan

Megan is an awesome pet and house sitter and we were extremely lucky to be able to secure her for a whole month to sit for us. We even had the pleasure of meeting Megan on the first night of her stay, and introduce her personally to our bundle of independent fluff - Tenzing. Megan is a lovely, very likeable, intelligent, happy and bubbly person, incredibly easy to engage with, and a true cat lover, having a cat of her own back home. We knew immediately that she and Tenzing would 'hit it off' and have a fabulous time together. We got lots of updates and pics/videos of our 'boy' (thank you), and Megan kept great care of our house and garden too. It was an absolute joy to have had the opportunity to meet Megan and to have her look after our home and our sweet 'boy'. Tenzing was a little out of sorts after Megan continued on her travels - I guess that's what happens when he's spoilt with so much love and affection, attention and of course 'brushing'! Thank you Megan, I really hope we get to meet you in person again and have you to sit again for us. Safe travels. K&M

Iona

Iona was lovely and was flexible when we were running late. Looked after Al was happy cat when we got home. She left the flat tidy. Would happily recommend Iona.

Debbie

Sitting for Debbie and Mike was amazing! They were so welcoming and truly treated me like a member of the family. Dock and Lucy are adorable and such funny little pups! They were super easy and chill to care for and I loved getting to hang out with them.
Would highly recommend!!

Kori

I had such a wonderful time sitting for Kori. Her home is astoundingly beautiful, comfortable and relaxing. Kori is very easy to talk to and really kind. Her cats are so sweet and so fun to love on. They love to play and follow you around the house and generally be adorable. The chickens are a delight and really funny together. I most enjoyed getting to know all the animals personalities (and the sunshine lol). I would definitely recommend this sit!

Ashley

Honi and Paka were lovely dogs that took to me right away and were great companions.  Elbie, the cat only showed up at night time and took minimal care but was quite affectionate when he was around.  The house is a very special place in the cloud forest above Kona Hawaii.  I enjoyed using the outside shower, the extensive lanai and listening to the frogs at night.  I would recommend this sit to anyone interested in a genuine Hawaii experience.

Emma

Emma and Chaz were very relaxed and the pets were easy to look after. A lovely house with a beautiful garden and lots of herbs & veg growing. Easy access to Royal Wootton Bassett for shops/pubs and my 7 year-old girls loved Lydiard Park and Studley Grange Butterfly Farm. If you like eggs the chickens lay 4 or 5 a day...

Jules

Unfortunately we weren’t to sit for this booking due to medical emergencies. But Jules was very diligent in advising us of the changes as soon as he knew, and was kind enough to offer us a place to stay for that evening if we needed while organising our next booking.

Thanks again for originally booking us in Jules and I hope that all is well. 🙂

Sharon

A perfect sit! Wonderful dog, great hosts, and a beautiful home in a charming mountain town—what more could you ask for?!

Floyd was the best housemate—sweet, well-mannered, and clear about his needs. He loves lounging on the couch while you read. He has a simple routine and needs minimal exercise. He takes you on a short little stroll. A little sniff, sniff and then determines what way to go. Floyd will be your little shadow as you move about the house. I loved hanging out with him!

Sharon and Ben are fantastic hosts! They provided clear instructions for Floyd and their home, and communication was a breeze. Very kind and organized. 

If you’re looking for a sweet, easy-going dog in a prime location, you’ve found it!
