I've always loved dogs and would have a bast taking care of your pup while you're away, or taking him/her for walks while you're at work! I live in Stockbridge and have a little private garden, and would take your dog out (likely with my own) out to Inverleith Park or along the Water of Leith river walk every day. This is my first time using Pawshake, but I have done a lot of petsitting in the past — mostly housesitting in other people's homes but with having my own dog now and being married, I will have to welcome pups to our home instead. I'd definitely separate the dogs for feeding and can put toys away while your dog is here. I would want to make you at ease while you're away (I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog behind) so am eager to work together to make sure you have a relaxed trip and your dog has a comfortable time with us. If I go out, I can be sure to put my dog in a separate room while they're unmonitored. 

I do need to see vaccination records before having your dog stay at our place because we have a dog of our own (Golden Retriever x Bernese Mountain Dog mix). 

My schedule is very flexible because I work from home so most days, I'm available anytime. For dog walks, I'm available morning or afternoons. I'm happy to walk your dog as long as he/she needs. Typically I walk my own dog for about an hour every day along the Water of Leith and around Inverleith Park, so I would likely bring your dog with on this walk daily (and keep your dog on the leash :). 

For dog boarding, I do not offer training or grooming services. If needed, I can provide medication to your pet (assuming he/she is friendly about this). Please let me know if you have any questions!
