Orlaghhhhh

Hey! My name is Orlagh and I’m confident to say that I am looking to dog walk. I have two cats, and my uncle has a Staffy, I have walked her multiple times. I have always loved animals and taking care of them. They bring me lots of comfort and motivation to get out the house more. Although what I’m looking for the most in this job is dog walking! I’ve always wanted a dog for my own but unfortunately that’s not possible at the moment since I have cats at home. Which is why I am on here, to grow more of a connection with animals and experience the dog life!!

I have had multiple experiences with dogs and animals overall, although I do not have job experience with animals. In my house I have two cats, and I am always the one who gives them medicine and flee treatment etc when they are in need of it. Since I am the most reliable with animals in my household. I also used to work with horses, cleaning their stalls, tacking them up, and ofc riding, that’s an example of a hobby and a passion that I loved because it was with animals. I may not have much of an educational knowledge with animals but I do have a passion and connection with them.

Animal lover available for pet check-ins, walks and care

Hey, I’m Egemen. I’m a student from Glasgow and I really love animals. At home we have a cross Maine Coon and I’ve got some experience walking my aunt’s cross Jack Russell. I’m friendly, reliable and happy to come by your place to feed, walk, play with and take care of your pets while you’re out. I don’t offer pet care in my own home, but I’m happy to help with check-ins and visits. I’m usually free most evenings and weekends. Feel free to message me if you’re looking for someone local who genuinely enjoys being around animals.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Pet Sitter

Follow these handy tips for hiring a pet sitter to ensure your furry family members are safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

1. Check Experience

Ask how long they’ve been pet sitting and what types of pets they’ve cared for. Experience with your specific type or breed is a big plus.

2. Verify Credentials

Look for pet CPR/first aid certification, pet care training, or memberships in professional pet-sitting associations.

3. Ask for References

Speak with past clients to confirm reliability, trustworthiness, and quality of care.

4. Meet in Person

Schedule a meet-and-greet to see how your pet reacts to the sitter and ensure a comfortable connection.

5. Discuss Duties Clearly

Define whether they’ll walk, feed, administer medication, groom, or provide other services. Be specific about expectations.

6. Check Availability

Ensure the sitter can meet your schedule, including holidays, weekends, or overnight needs.

7. Understand Rates & Payment

Clarify fees, overtime charges, and any additional costs (like travel, supplies, or emergency care).

8. Review Emergency Plans

Ask how they handle medical issues, accidents, or other emergencies, including access to your vet.

9. Communication Style

Confirm how often and in what form they’ll provide updates—texts, photos, or reports.

10. Start with a Trial

Consider a short test visit or day before leaving for an extended period to see how your pet responds and assess the sitter’s reliability.
