Dog-sitting my loving and friendly rescue dogs in Edinburgh, Scotland

  Descripción

  From May 3rd 2026 or just after. No couples sorry.
  
  I'm looking for a motivated and responsible, super-crazy-doglover, who is very confident taking care of and walking four medium/large sized dogs, and a cheeky chihuahua.
  
  I live in a two-bed flat in East Edinburgh. It's approximately 20 mins on the bus into town, depending on traffic, 3 miles from Portobello Beach, and 2 miles from Holyrood Park. I live a few minutes’ walk from a lovely park where the dogs are walked. There are smaller grocery shops at the end of my street, and larger supermarkets a couple of miles away.

  You get to hang out with a load of awesome but crazy dogs who like attention and think they are lap dogs. They are happiest when someone is at home with them. I am a New Zealander living in Scotland who is happy to talk about either country.

  Ayuda

  I'm looking for a friendly and responsible person to look after the house and animals when I'm away. The dogs like to have a couple of walks a day and eat their meals on time. A minimum length walk is 10 minutes. The dogs have a walk and their breakfast at 7am, a walk at 12-1pm, a walk and dinner at 5pm, and their final walk at bedtime (9pm earliest).
  
  All five dogs are never walked at once, they go out in smaller groups. You will need to make sure they have water in their water bowls throughout the day. You will also need to vacuum every few days to keep the dog hair levels down, do your dishes, and clean up after yourself.

  I’m looking for someone who is kind, genuinely helpful, and willing to do their best. It’s important that you can follow instructions and treat my home and belongings with respect. Good communication makes everything run smoothly. I carefully consider every application, and we’ll have a video call first so we can get to know each other and make sure it feels like a good fit for both of us.
