About Diarmid

I’ve spent my whole life with dogs, caring for family pets, walking them, playing with them and making sure they live happy, healthy lives. Because I’ve grown up around dogs and am currently studying Animal Biology, I understand dog behaviour, body language and how to make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for in all situations. I started with walking dogs for my neighbours in Falkirk as a freelance gig, and now that I am studying in Edinburgh, I am continuing that passion through this app. I am confident and comfortable with different breeds, energy levels and temperaments, and I adapt my approach to suit each individual dog’s needs.

I offer reliable, attentive dog walking and home visits around and inside Edinburgh and treat every dog like my own. My walks are tailored to the dog, but I am happy to provide shorter relaxed walks or longer, more active walks depending on their age, breed and energy level. During home visits, I can provide company, playtime, feeding, fresh water, toilet breaks and plenty of attention, as well as updates and photos for your peace of mind.

I am calm, patient and attentive with nervous or reactive dogs, and I always take the time to build trust and help them feel safe. I can also administer oral medication if needed and will carefully follow any instructions you leave for your dog’s routine, behaviour or care. I only take on bookings that I know I can manage properly (which is almost all of them), so every dog gets the time, care and attention they deserve. My aim is to be a bright spark in your dog’s day, whether that’s a fun walk, active playtime or calm company while you’re away. I’m excited to meet you and your dog.
