About
My Story
Hello! My name is Lenni and I'm a pet-sitter and dog-walker based in Aberdeen City.
After 3 years of studying Animal Care at SRUC Veterinary College, I realised that supporting owners and caring for their pets is where I truly thrived. I've combined my theory and practical education & experience learnt during my studies, alongside my own personal pet ownership experience to offer professional and reliable care for your pet and peace of mind for you as an owner.
In April 2026 I became a certified member of the Dog Walkers and Sitters Association.
Whether it's a nervous rescue or a bouncy pup, fluffy feathers, or slithering scales, I believe every pet deserves qualified, educated care & experience whether it's during our walks or overnight care in your home *prices vary*.
Insured, qualified, and pet approved.
Services and prices
What We Offer
Solo dog walks so that your dog's walk can be 100% tailored to what they need.
Pet check-ins and petsitting in the owners home that covers all household species - because small furries and exotics require reliable and qualified care too.
While your pets are in my care, I am experienced and qualified to provide non-veterinary treatment including oral & topical medication (e.g. parasite prevention such as Frontline), head-to-toe health checks, taking basic vitals and first aid - as taught during my studies at SRUC Veterinary College. I am not a veterinary professional and do not diagnose, prescribe, or treat medical conditions. If I am to notice something regarding your pet I will always refer you to see a veterinary professional.

Reviews
Our clients love the care and attention their pets receive from Paws and Claws. Read what some of them have to say about our exceptional service.
Maureen W.
"Pet sit (and dog walks) review – excellent, 5 out of 5It's been a couple of days since Lenni completed an 11 day pet sit for us, looking after our 3 spaniels It is obvious how much Lenni loves animals and how much our 3 dogs love her. Lenni is caring, competent and trustworthy, she knows her stuff! Each dog has their own nature and their own needs; the care and attention Lenni provided during (and continues to provide with a dog walking slot each week) to each one of them is second to none. We received daily updates and photos and we relaxed knowing the pups were in good hands. Would we recommend – absolutely, without any hesitation."

"Amazing service! Lenni went out of her way to help me when my dog walker was unable to walk my Angus this week on very very short notice. Angus has enjoyed his time with her and the videos and photos sent to me of her and Angus on their travels was lovely. He's home happy and exhausted Thank you Paws and Claws ...you truly are a super star as I was incredibly stressed and anxious about Angus this week but he's had a brilliant time. Have recommended you to family and friends and hope to use your service again soon."
