Reviews from Pet Owners Across South Lanarkshire
"Alexandra is wonderful with my two dogs. They are both large breeds Golden retriever and Siberian husky and can be spoiled rotten boys. I have never left my boys at all in the seven years I’ve had them, so was very nervous leaving them with anyone at all but Alexandra put my mind at rest right away. After watching them for 5 days and (even with a doggy belly accident), my dogs were happy, well looked after and spoiled rotten. I cannot promote Alexandra enough she is a five star dog sitter!!!!"
Fiona, Blackwood
"Highly impressed with Alexandra’s approachability, professionalism and knowledge. Alexandra made me feel at ease very quickly even when my dog was playing up a little. The visit could not have gone better and I would highly recommend her to all."
Keith, Blackwood
"I have known Alex (Alexandra) for over 10 years, having been introduced through a mutual friend. Throughout that time, I’ve always known her to have a genuine love and deep understanding of animals, particularly dogs. When I got my dog Oliver, Alex gave me excellent advice and has looked after him on several occasions, including overnight stays in my own home. Oliver absolutely adores her and they get on extremely well. On some occasions, with my permission, Alex has taken Oliver to a secure enclosed dog field for play and exercise while I was away, which I was completely comfortable with. Alex has a background working with a dog charity and has fostered many dogs over the years, including dogs with complex needs and emotional trauma. She also has three dogs of her own, all of which are clearly very well cared for. Her experience, patience and calm approach really show. Alex is honest, reliable and completely trustworthy. I have never had a single concern when leaving Oliver in her care and I am always confident that he will be extremely well looked after throughout my absence. I am very happy to recommend Alex to other dog parents without hesitation and I wish her every success in this professional venture"

"Can't recommend them enough, she had our babies while we were at a wedding and they loved every minute of it!"
Abbie, Glasgow
"Absolutely fantastic service, could not recommend enough. Both our dogs and cat had a fantastic day. Thank you so much, see you again in a few weeks."
Steven, Glasgow
"Finding someone you truly trust with your pets isn't easy, but Alexandra made it feel effortless. From the start her warm and atten tive approach stood out, and she quickly built a connection with my animals - even the more nervous ones who don't normally warm up to people. With several pets to care for, all with their own routines and personalities, she managed everything with ease. It was clear each one of them was given time, patience, and genuine affection, rather than being just 'looked after'. The updates and photos throughout were such a thoughtful touch and really helped me relax while I was away. I returned home to content, settled pets and everything exactly as it should be. Alexandra is dependable, kind and clearly passionate about what she does. I would happily book her again and strongly recommend her to anyone wanting safe, attentive, and loving care for their pets."

"Alex is absolutely phenomenal. We are so blessed to have found our fur babies second mommy. Could not recommend enough."
Sharon, Blackwood
"I was relieved to have found Alex relatively soon in our search for a new sitter. The meet and greet put us at such ease we booked her to cover my annual leave also there and then. She's everything you'd wish to find in a sitter for the four legged family."
Sean, Glasgow
"Alexandra was excellent, very communicative and provided lots of updates. Thanks!"
Carrie, Lanark
"Alexandra was lovely and looked after my four little budgies whilst I was away on holiday. She sent me pictures and updates every day and looked after them so well. Will definitely be booking with Alexandra again anytime we go away."
Lynn, Wishaw
"We are so very happy with Alexandra's care of our two cats when we had our holiday. This was an excellent service. We were worried that one of our cats had got out when the door was left open as we left, we contacted Alexandra and she came round to check and put our minds at rest by sending us a photo of our cat. We received daily updates with photos and she even hoovered and mopped which we did not expect. We will definitely use Tails of Joy Pet Servies again and we highly recommend this excellent service."
Jacqueline & Mark, Carluke
"Alex was absolutely wonderful with our two Labradors, Luna and Ray! They’re both high-energy but very sweet girls, and Alex handled them beautifully. She carefully followed all of our special feeding and health instructions, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to two very happy, healthy pups who had clearly been well walked, well fed, and very well cared for. We’re so grateful for her attentive and loving care! We’ll definitely be booking with Alex again soon!"
Amy, Wanlockhead
"Alexandra was referred to me by a friend who knew I needed a sitter/walker. She was very professional but as equally comfortable and confident from the meet and greet onwards. She came with a wealth of information and experience but also keenness to listen to myself and partner and to understand that our little troops of pekingese came with some challenging husbandry and characters. She not only won them round, they greet her with enthusiasm and kisses and cuddles at the door. Alexandra has become an invaluable part of our extended family without which I wouldn't be able to maintain my routine and career."
Simon, Lanark
"Alexandra provides a wonderful service and was great with my cat Iggy. I definitely recommend her!"
Paul, Rutherglen
"I cannot recommend Alexandra highly enough! I needed someone to look after my cat Misha for three days and nights while I was in hospital, and I am so grateful for the wonderful care Alexandra provided. From the moment we arranged everything, communication was clear and reassuring. I received regular updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease during a difficult time. My cat was clearly well cared for, happy, and relaxed when I returned home. The litter was spotless, food and water bowls were full and even my cat’s toys were tidied away. It was obvious that lots of love and attention had been given. I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a reliable and caring pet sitter. I would not hesitate to use her services again or to recommend her to anyone who wants their pet to be looked after as if they were their own. Five stars from both me and my cat!"
Johanna, Lesmahagow
"Finally found that someone to entrust my four legged family with here. Genuine animal lover and keen to listen and understand not just our pets schedules but their dynamics and characters. She is also very thorough in going through and detailing each arrangement. I cannot recommend her enough, in fact I wouldn't recommend anyone else."
Frank, Coatbridge
"If there was a 10 star that we could leave as a review for this service, then we would. Alex has been absolutely fantastic with our furry family members and we highly recommend her to anyone."
ObsidianClinics, Glasgow
"Thanks for your Cat Sitting services Alex, you went above and beyond when Diva was missing all day. Excellent Service!"
Michelle, Bellshill
"Very happy with Alexandra, she kept in touch prior to my holiday and gave me daily updates while I was away. She doesn't just 'pet sit', she brings toys and treats and really interacted with my pets, they loved her too and had a ball."
Colin, Carluke
"Our three dogs were pampered, loved and looked after. Plenty of pictures and correspondence while we were away. Even the budgies were spoilt. Thank you."
Maureen, Motherwell
"Amazing service, already booked again. My dogs and cats loved their day, they were so happy with Alexandra, they had a fun filled day and will be looking forward to her next visit. I can't recommend enough."
Steven, Stepps
"Alex looked after my cat for 9 days, she came in every morning and some evenings. I had never left my cat for this long before, so I was worried, but I instantly felt at ease and confident that my boy Reo would be so looked after and cared for whilst I was away. Alex kept in touch sending pictures every day and reassuring me that Reo was OK. Alex went over and above, from meet and greet to sweeping up any mess Reo left. I will absolutely use Alex again to watch Reo and I would highly recommend her services to anyone I know. Thank you so much!"
