Hi I’m Steph! I’m a health professional, living in Roslin, a beautiful village on the outskirts of Edinburgh. I love animals of all shapes and sizes! I have grown up with dogs and cats, alongside a combination of; rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, fish.... anything I could persuade my parents to get me really! I therefore know how big a part of the family pets are and how important their happiness and well being is to you as their owner. My normal working pattern is Monday - Friday 8:30-4:30, so I tend to have more availability for day care and boarding over weekends, but I have availability for visits, walks etc. around my working hours. I can offer visits for all animals, and walks/boarding/day care for dogs. I have a car so travel is not an issue! I live with my partner Euan who would also be around most of the time to help out and have fun with any furry guests. We currently have a 5 year old red fox Labrador who is very friendly, energetic and great with other dogs! Living in Roslin we have unlimited access to a huge range of off road walks in the beautiful countryside we are lucky enough to have right on our doorstep, which is a big bonus for any doggies looking for a sleepover or a play date! We live in a 3 bedroom house, so there's plenty of room for our dog Bracken, and any guests staying. We also have a private fully enclosed garden for extra play time/toilet trips if required in between walks! I can be very flexible in terms of the number and duration of walks, my own dog Bracken is very energetic and needs lots of exercise so long walks are not a problem. Equally, if your doggy prefers more chilled out walking, that’s no problem either- just let me know what your pooch needs! Your dog would have access to all parts of the house but mainly the lounge/hall/kitchen areas. For bedtime, wherever you feel your dog would be most comfortable is fine with us! But they would probably be sleeping in the kitchen area or hall and they can be separated from Bracken during the day/night if needed. It is unlikely that that your dog would have much time alone during a stay but if so, it would be no longer than around a couple of hours.
I am passionate about caring for animals and making sure they have lots of fun and cuddles, so you can be sure that your pet would be very well looked after. And of course, I am happy to provide lots of photo updates! Feel free to get in touch to chat more about what you are specifically looking for and il do my best to accommodate! Steph

This was the first time we had left Heidi with people she did not know so I was naturally worried. No need - she had a wonderful time. Stephanie kept us updated with photos and when we collected Heidi we could see that she was perfectly at home with Stephanie, her husband, and their lovely dog. I would definitely recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a safe and happy environment for their dog. Thank you Stephanie!
Steph and Euan were very responsive and reliable. our cats were looked after as per instructions. We would not hesitate to ask them again.
