Welcome
We run a friendly and reliable Professional Dog Walking and Pet Taxi service in the East of Edinburgh predominantly covering areas in or around: Northfield, Southfield, Mountcastle, Duddingston, Willowbrae, Craigentinny, Leith, Portobello and Joppa

I am a Scotland Canine First Aider, fully insured with Pet Business Insurance and hold a current Disclosure Police check and, for the purposes of a past office post, I have been given security clearance by MI5. . . nothing remotely 007(ish) though!

In line with local requirements, I am registered with Edinburgh City Council as a Professional Dog Walker.

Van
The van is fitted with kennel rubber flooring and I have installed static crates. I furthermore have a Solvit Deluxe dog ramp, courtesy of Easy Animal, for the safe and effortless boarding / exit, of elderly and small dogs.

Environment
As a former Environmental Guardian, I ensure that all poo from dogs that I walk, is picked up and put into an appropriate bin.

Why use a dog walker?
People use dog walkers for a number of different reasons. In my experience many people don't want to wait till retirement age, before owning a dog, therefore employing a dog walker, ensures their dog gets daily access to socialise, exercise and fresh air, whilst the owners are busy at work. . . . earning the dog food!
For many people employing a dog walker provides them with a little extra time during busy periods, whether it's moving house, long working hours, varying work shifts or other factors, such as an appointment or ill-health. You can be safe in the knowledge, that I am available to provide your dog with its much needed daily exercise, combined with the re-assurance that their dog is being well looked after.

Credibility
Why Me? Quite simply I love spending time with dogs!
There are many walkers out there doing it for many reasons, I love the companionship of working with a variety of personalities and enjoy engaging with each of them individually. I appreciate that there are many dog walkers you could go to, call me up for a chat and let me tell you more about me.

Value for Money
I believe first and foremost in providing a safe and trustworthy service, one I would want for my own dog. I will provide your dog(s) with a full one hour walk (outwith travel time) placing an emphasis on safety and enjoyment and ensuring that your dog comes home happy, tired and contented.
