Dog Sitters in Rattray

I can’t recommend Gareth’s dog walking and home boarding enough. He walked my spaniel for several years, frequently returning him ‘dog tired’. He also boarded him at home, and my spaniel was very much at home. A dedicated dog walker who delivers excellent service.

Our pup would give Gareth ten stars if he could! He greets Gareth as though he is a member of the family, and absolutely loves his walks (we can tell from watching him on the daily clips Gareth posts!) Gareth is always professional and reliable, and will always try to help if you need an unexpected extra walk or visit. Our pooch has also had several holidays at dog tired HQ when we have been away, and is looked after like a prince (we have seen photo evidence of him sleeping upside down in front of the log burner, clearly very comfortable in his holiday home!)

I am full of praise for Gareth. He's such an enthusiastic and caring individual who really cares about the dogs he walks. Willow is very happy to go for her walk and Rosie, the pup, can't wait to join the pack. 5 star recommendation from me and the dogs!

Couldn't recommend Gareth highly enough to anyone needing their dogs looked after, our dog ollie has been going walks with Gareth for years and has also spent time at dog tired HQ being looked after and spoilt. Daily videos of all the dogs together are great to watch and see how well they are being looked after, easy 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dog Tired just the best service our dog really enjoys his walks with Gareth and his doggy pals!! Great friendly service!! Would not hesitate to recommend Dog Tired to anyone.

I have used Dog Tired for years. Excellent service and happy dogs. Lots of varied walks, my dog likes a good sniff others love to romp around, there is something for them all

Lovely walk along the Newtyle railway. Fantastic views across the valley of Strathmore.

Absolutely the best...👍

Absolutely perfect in every way.

Thank you very much Sam 🐶 …

My bunnies have had a wonderful stay both times they've visited Hutches. The owners simply adore rabbits, and it shows! I'm confident my bunnies get loads of love and attention when they stay.

We use Joanne every time we go on holiday. She is super with our 2 rabbits and is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to our furry friends. We go away for 2 weeks and know that our rabbits will be well looked after so we don't need to worry. The price per hutch is also great value and I would definitely reccomend.

Very friendly and accommodating. Service with a smile. Our guinea pigs have been looked after a couple of times to our complete satisfaction.

Joanne looks after lots of rabbits and Guinea pigs, she loves them all to bits, I would always recommend here for somewhere great to put your pet while you are on holiday as well as pets you can't look after etc

Our guinea pigs have been coming here for quite a few years and I can definitely recommend it. Excellent care and attention.

Absolutely brilliant service for a very reasonable price. Would recommend to everyone with guinea pigs or rabbits

Lovely place, takes great care of animals, amazing people.

Great place to board a guinea pig. Super attentive and caring.

Layla at Tails and Trails looked after my little dog Dora. She had her for the day and sent me regular updates and pictures. Dora had a great time walking with the pack, would definitely recommend tails and trails services. Layla is lovely

Layla looked after my 2 spaniels whilst I was on holiday for a week, they had never stayed away before so I was anxious, however I received regular updates & pictures/videos and was able to relax as I could see how happy my girls were, they were in Laylas home and being treated like her own. I cannot recommend highly enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Would highly recommend Tails and Trails Pet services! Our cocker spaniel loves his weekly walks with the pack. Layla is great with him and keeps us updated of all their activities. Thank you 😊 …

Layla looked after our little sausage dog Maisy whilst we were getting married down the road at Inchyra. Layla also brought Maisy to our wedding for a couple of hours so she could be there on our special day. Maisy had the best time with Layla and she could not have been better cared for. Layla sent us lots of photos and video updates so we were absolutely confident she was settled and having a lovely time. I can’t thank Layla enough and we will absolutely be calling on her again to look after Maisy in the future. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring person to look after their furry friend!

Layla looked after our 2 dogs while we were at a wedding in the area. They went on 2 pack walks and stayed overnight at her lovely home. The dogs clearly had a great time as they've done nothing but sleep since! They were really relaxed when we picked them up. Layla was in regular contact with us and she's clearly very experienced with dogs. Would 100% use again and recommend!

We can't recommend Layla highly enough. From the outset we trusted her completely with our boys, Angus and Oscar. She has such a great manner with the dogs in her care and her wedding service was just perfect. First rate dog mum! Thank you, Layla.

Tails and Trails aka Layla offers a wonderful service, she came to meet Ruby and assess her skills and interactions with other dogs before taking her on 1-1 walks, then when Ruby was behaving well off lead she introduced her to pack walks. Ruby loves her weekly pack walks and is always excited to go and tired afterwards. I highly recommend this service.

Misty adores her trips with Layla and her doggie friends and loves her holidays with Layla. Can wholeheartedly recommend Layla- lovely with our Misty and totally trustworthy.

I adopted my dog in September of last year, not knowing much about his background other than him not being good around other dogs. I was worried how my dog would be, getting taken out with Layla, but I had no reason to worry at all, as he was so well behaved & enjoyed his first ever walk with Layla & a small pack. Layla set my mind at ease with pictures & videos. I would highly recommend Layla 🐶🐾

We contacted Layla to help us out with our dog when we were recently away and he was staying with my in-laws. Layla met us beforehand and instantly Rolo was at ease with her. Whilst we were away she picked him up daily from my in laws house and took him either on pack walks or to the doggy play park. She regularly sent us photos and videos of him having the most amazing time. It re assured us greatly that he was having fun and also he was tired out when he returned to my in laws house ensuring he was better behaved for them. If only we lived closer that Layla could take him out for us. We will definitely uses Layla again when we are next away and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and her team.

100% reliable.Been using Gordon for the last 7 years. Never had any issues with his service. Nessie the beardie Loves her days out with him.

The best walk dog service:))))Thank you so much Gordon, you walk with Lucky for a years:)))))

Thank you for your 5* review, Lynne. I’m delighted you’re so happy with our service. Best wishes, Gordon @ Kittywoof

Barking Mad is an excellent service! I have used Barking Mad for a number of years for my dogs and I've never been disappointed. Our dogs have been very well looked after and when the van pulls up to collect them there is great excitement from them about going on holiday! Elaine and John are genuinely caring towards the dogs and we leave them feeling confident that they will be well looked after and have a great time! Thoroughly recommend.

I have been a Barking Mad Host and service user for almost 20 years. Elaine and John are the third owners I have worked with and not only are they lovely people, they are by far the most enthusiastic, committed owners of the service. Not only do they ensure dogs have a fabulous holiday in appropriate surroundings, they have developed a very caring community for the Hosts. All your lovely dogs are looked after so well in their holiday homes.

After a bad experience with dog care some years ago, I thought I would never go on holiday again – until I found Barking Mad. My pooch has some quirky habits which require particular care and attention – John and Elaine came to the house to meet him, took note of everything down to the smallest detail and found the perfect host who catered for all his needs. I went to visit my family in New Zealand and had heaps of text messages, photos and video showing my dog out on lovely walks, having lots of fun and looking totally relaxed. I have already booked my next holiday and have every confidence that with Barking Mad, my dog will receive the same care, attention and love that he gets at home. I can’t rate this organisation highly enough, they are simply the best.

I cannot recommend barking mad fife enough. When your going on holiday you want your furry friend to be looked after the same way you look after them at home. You want peace of mind and reassurance, this is exactly what Elaine and John provide. No detail is missed out and they cover absolutely everything with you in a 2 hour initial meeting before they board your dog. Our dog has joint issues which can limit some activities, this issue was 100% taken on board while our dog was in Elaine and Johns care. I think it’s important to know any health issues your dog may have will be looked after correctly. You’ll receive updates with photos when you are away- chances are your furry friend is also having a 5 star luxury holiday of their own! The service is second to none and worth every penny. I cannot rate Elaine and John highly enough.

Since we first used John and Elaine at Barking Mad to look after our Gordon Setter "Floyd" for six weeks in 2017 we would not consider placing him anywhere else. He loves going with them and has the time of his life running with the pack in the hills and swimming in the sea. While he's away we get regular pictures and videos sent so we can see how happy he is. We would have no hesitation recommending them even for long stays. Peter and Maureen.

Our last dog Trey, a ‘silver surfer’ was always looked after so well and loved his holibags with Elaine and John. He was a withdrawn guide dog who had bad arthritic legs who just loved people and we worried how he would be staying with others. We needn’t have worried as he loved every second and was always cared for to our exact needs regarding his food and medication. When we lost him our two new girls who are rescue labradors now go on holiday with them too. As I am now disabled it was a huge worry for me that if I had to do anything at short notice, who would look after my dogs? I am so lucky that Elaine and John have always gone the extra mile for me when I have needed care for the girls at very short notice sometimes so that this now is not an issue. If anyone is considering dog care I would say let your dogs go on holiday with John and Elaine. You can have total peace of mind to enjoy whatever you are doing in the knowledge that your fur babies will be having a blast with the best care possible and being treated as part of a family with all their home comforts.

This is a wonderful service, run and owned by 2 devoted dog lovers. Elaine and John are friendly, caring and very professional people, they ensure that you and your dogs safety, comfort any special needs are their main priority. We were extremely happy with every aspect of the service they provided, which allowed my Wife and I to enjoy our break/holiday away, knowing that our 'Kizzi' was safe and happy! Many thanks to you both and we will be using your service anytime we ever wish to go away, when we are unable to take Kizzi.

Excellent service provided by wonderful and devoted staff. Nothing is too much for them as in our case when our pooch has to go to the vets, as she does once a month, it is no hassle whilst we are on holiday. Her dog sitter is excellent as well and we know that the dog is being well cared for. Keep up the good work and I would recommend them to anyone.

Isla y loved her wee holidays with Barking mad. So much that she is jumping up to get into John's car.John and Elaine are fully committed to what they do. It is obvious they both love it. Would definitely recommend Barking Mad. The host's are equally committed to ensuring your wee precious has fun and is cared for.🐩🐩

Once again I would like to thank John and Elaine for their exceptional service and dedication they gave us recently with Flora. Also cannot thank them enough for helping us out at such short notice for my father in laws funeral. Lynne,Alan,Emma and not forgetting Nugget are wonderful hosts. Flora came back bouncy, full of life and started eating without me having to remind her. Whenever Flora sees the bag and the car draws up to fetch her she cannot contain her excitement. Keep up your good work. Elaine and John as we do not know what we would do without your services.x

From our first point of contact to the brilliant photos and video this doggy business was fantastic. We hired them to pet sit Smudge our boxer who has a form of epilepsy. Suzy our sitter came over to us twice at Cardney Steading where our daughter got married this week. What a wonderful kind and caring lady and so gentle with him. He totally fell in love with her 🤩👰🏻‍♀️👰🏻‍♀️. Thankyou to Suzy for everything and to Lynsey for running a brilliant business . Lots of love from the Moss and Anderson families 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👰🏻‍♀️👰🏻‍♀️👰🏻‍♀️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What an amazing team! Blairgowrie Walkies regularly look after our 2 dogs with very differing needs. We have an old lady who likes to wander slowly sniffing as she goes and then a youngster who will run and jump all day. Both are well catered for and really enjoy their time with the different members of the team. They have taken them on short notice and helped us out when needed. I love seeing the reports on how the day has gone and I feel really confident that our dogs are getting the best care .

We hired Blairgowrie Walkies so that we could have our dog at our wedding and couldn't have been happier at the result. Lynsey was so helpful in figuring out what we needed and how it would all work. Ryan took such good care of our boy on the day and let us get him involved without adding any extra stress on our wedding day. We even have a wonderful video and photos of his day at the wedding. Thank you so much.

Blairgowrie Walkies stepped in at the last minute to look after my 5 horses, as well as my sheep. They came to meet them all the week before, which was great, as we could tell the horses liked them. The visit reports were amazing, as they gave total peace of mind that my animals were all OK. I came back to very happy animals, who had clearly enjoyed the attention they were given. I will definitely use again.

Blairgowrie walkies brought our spaniel, Flynn to our wedding for us. Flynn has the best day, and made a new best friend in Ryan. It was lovely seeing all the photos and videos of him the next day. Flynn can sometimes be nervous with new people but he was clearly very happy with Ryan, who got him posing perfectly for photos, and took him round to see all of our guests (who were clearly there to see him!!). He had two good walks and was delivered back the the kennels safely. Lynsey has been so helpful when organising everything. She understood how important Flynn is to me and made sure I was happy with all of the plans. I would highly recommend Blairgowrie Walkies if you wanted your dog to attend your wedding.

Suzy and Ryan did a fantastic job of looking after our dogs at a recent wedding at Cardney steadings

We've been using Blairgowrie Walkies for a little time now and they have been and continue to be absolutely brilliant! My dog is well looked after and always has such a great time! With their service reports and great in walk photos everything is very professional and I'm always so grateful for what they do. Would highly recommend!

I have been using Blairgowrie Walkies for 3 years now and I cannot praise the Team highly enough. They are all caring, professional, first-class service and my dogs absolutely love going out with them. If you are in any doubt about how much fun the dogs have out on their walks - just look at all the amazing photos on the various Blairgowrie Walkies social media accounts! A very reliable company who go out of their way to provide a fantastic service - whether it is advance bookings or last minute requests, every single request I have made has been honoured. Highly recommended!!

We got Blairgowrie Walkies to look after Moss on our wedding day at Cardney Steading. It allowed Moss to be part of the day but we did not have to worry about him. Ryan was fantastic, so clam and handled Moss perfectly. Lynsey was great to deal with from start to finish, you can tell they really put the pets best interest above everything else. Knowing that Moss was looked after throughout the day and tucked up into bed afterwards put our minds at ease and let us really enjoy our day, another thing that made it so special. Well worth it! Big love to Blairgowrie Walkies.

Our dog attends dog day care with Blairgowrie Walkies and has done since he was a puppy - he is almost 5 years old now. Lynsey and her team are fantastic with all the pets they care for ranging from dogs, cats, ferrits, rabbits, horses and the list goes on. Our pooch gets sooo excited when his walker comes to pick him up every day - he adores her - and I know he is well looked after and has a great time with all his furry friends. The photos posted each day are proof of how much fun he and the other dogs have on their walks. I would highly recommend Blairgowrie Walkies to look after your fur babies, they are professional, reliable and caring. They treat each pet as if they are their own. Best Dog Walker and Day care provider in my opinion and I just know our dog totally agrees.

Great Service!! Couldn't ask for a more Friendly and Helpful service, The guys at Tigerlily Pet Services took care of our Dog Riley. Highly recommended will definitely be using again. Thanks Again Graham & Lesley :)

Incredible service! Was kept updated throughout the week and their attention to detail was fantastic. 10/10

Great service from these lovely ladies. They looked after our pets by way of home visits during our holidays. Gutted they’re only doing regular walks now but would recommend them to anyone. They’re so friendly, genuinely care about each and every animal. They put us totally at ease when we were really nervous leaving our pets for the first time.

Absolutely superb! Best dog walkers we've ever had. Nothing is too much trouble, they go out of their way to provide an excellent service, and my dogs absolutely adore both Julie Ann and Wendy. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Couldn't wish for better dog walkers. They obviously love their dogs and Bacchus can't wait to go on his walks with them. Thank you Julie Anne and Wendy.

Absolutely Fantastic, the girls couldn’t be any friendlier- just the loveliest people. The dogs are so well looked after and wouldn’t genuinely wouldn’t trust anyone else with the furbabies more!!

Unfortunately they did not return my call or respond to my message which was very disappointing

Superb dog walking skills!
