Harper — private walks for reactive dogs
Maythe is an excellent dog walker — it’s very obvious to me that she’s a true dog person! She’s communicative, on-time, and very kind… I think our dog Harper would agree if she could speak. Maythe is very attentive with Harper and her special needs. Harper is quite reactive and has a tendency to be anxious around other dogs and strangers. Maythe has been very flexible with adjusting walking times and routes with Harper, which was very helpful for her. I highly recommend Maythe as a dog walker, especially if you have an anxious or nervous dog.

Ruby — puppy visit
Life gets crazy busy, and I needed a dog walker I could trust with my shy pup, Ruby. Maythe has been a lifesaver! She totally gets dogs, thanks to her deep understanding of canine cognition. Ruby loves her visits — she's really coming out of her shell, becoming more confident and playful! Plus, I love getting updates and cute photos during the day. I’m so grateful for her help!

Snoopy – pair walks
Snoopy has been absolutely loving his walks with Maythe. He’s a bit of a character, but she manages him with the perfect balance of care and firmness, and I can tell that he really enjoys the time he spends with her. Maythe has also helped with canine enrichment activities for when the weather is too poor for Snoopy to want to go outside, and he seems much happier for it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Maythe to anyone who is looking for a capable dog walker/carer in the Leith area, and I’m sure Snoopy would make the same recommendation (if he could speak English).
