Introduction

Hello! I’m Ali, a 32 year old Scottish lass living in Penicuik (just south of Edinburgh) with Fin the dog. By day I work in the NHS as a psychologist, and the rest of the time can generally be found outside on walks, runs and cycles

Home & location

My home is in the lovely town of Penicuik, which is 8 miles south of Edinburgh. For me, it’s the perfect balance of city and countryside: you can get a bus into town easily and be in the bustling city with all its delights, or you can head

Responsibilities

Generally I’d love you to keep Fin company and enjoy your stay! During the week I have a dog walker for Fin, so this could be continued during your stay. If this is the case, Fin would need a 30 min walk in the morning (flexible on time

          We absolutely loved hanging out with Fin. Alison’s house was clean and Fin was such a good little boy. The town is great and the neighbors are friendly.
