Currently working as a 'Functional Health Life-Coach', I work and study online. I've lived in Edinburgh for 18yrs and been a dog sitter now for the past 5yrs. My backround is rooted in cultivating health & well-being, as a skin-specialist, nanny, children's yoga-teacher, dog walker and coach. I'm very experienced in supporting nervous pet-parents with their pets seperation anxiety behaviour. I have a lot of experience especially with first time 'away from home' pets. I provide trust, safety, reliance and a confidant calm energy for your pet and connected communication with you while you are away. I don't have my own dog, however, I'm delighted to offer pet-sitting while you are away. I've completed approx 20 house sits. You are in very experienced thoughtful hands. I invite a minimum of two days for bookings.
When I Visit Your Home What's Included In A Dog-Walk And How Long Does It Last?
- Booking a walk starts at 60 minutes, walks can be upto 90 minutes at a time tailored to your dogs needs.
What Does Typical Day Care Look Like?
- Day care (9-5) consists of a 60-90minute walk in the morning. Toilet breaks throughout the day and another 15-20 minute walk before 3pm
When Am I Available For Pet Care?
- My diary is flexible. mostly mornings and afternoons for walks.
How Long Will I Stay In Your Home On A Typical 24hr House-Sit And What's Included During The Stay?
- For house sitting, I will plan to stay at yours all day. I do have some outside classes I attend during the week. So we would ideally discuss this and come to an agreement. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. That includes lots of variety with walks, play-time and in general friendly time together. I ask for a minimum of 2days stay. Bookings finish at 8am on the final day.
What Does Typical Day-Care Look Like?
(This is an example, I work with each individual dog and their owners needs unique to them)
-Up at 6am, toilet break.
- 7/8am, long walk for 60-90 minutes. They can jump in water and then pull me about chasing squirels and saying hello to other dogs.
- Then home and breakfast, relax and usually a sleep for them.
- 1pm toilet break, 20 minute walk.
- 3pm repeat and play time :)
- 5pm repeat, then dinner.
- 6pm relax and chill with me for the evening while I usually read.
- 8pm toilet break, then beauty sleep for your little one;)
I make it a priority that owners feel as much at ease as their 'little friends' by including them in our activities during the day with photos and videos.
Bookings end at 9am on the last day.
If you have any questions please feel to reach-out.
Looking forward to welcoming you all!
Warmly,
Lena

Our two little Dachshunds loved being looked after by Lena in our home. Lena gave the dogs super walks and lots of attention, sharing this on videos to us every day, so we could see how content they were.
Lena left our house very neat and tidy for our return and did every thing she could for us throughout her stay. Happy to recommend Lena to others. 😊
Lena looked after our two wee dogs for the first time this weekend. Our oldest dog was upset when we left but Lena was unflappable and handled him with care and patience and managed to settle him quickly. Both dogs seemed to enjoy themselves during their stay and I’m not entirely sure they wanted to leave when we went to collect them😁. Lena provided lots of updates and video’s. We would happily leave our pooches with her again.
