Hi there! I’m Denise, the heart behind All That Dog.
Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, With over 12 years of hands on experience different areas of the dog care - from dog daycare, training, grooming, and even competing in dog shows with my beloved Dalmatians, I’ve dedicated my life to understanding and caring for them.
Caring for dogs isn’t just my job - it’s my passion. Every pup has a unique personality with their own quirks and needs, and I take pride in offering services that cater to each individual.
Some dogs are shy, nervous, or reactive. Others simply prefer their own space. For these dogs, big social walks aren’t enjoyable; they’re overwhelming.
Maybe you’ve tried letting them run in the park, but without proper supervision, they get overexcited, ignore recall.
Maybe you’ve tried training classes, but the progress disappears as soon as you’re back in the real world.
Some dogs just don’t switch off. High-energy breeds or simply energetic personalities need more than 30 minutes on the lead.
What Our Client's Say
‘Denise has been a fantastic addition to our dogs lives. She has been a patient and understanding companion for them. Our dogs both need time to get to know new people and she made the time to meet us before our first booking so we could all get to know her. From the beginning, Denise has been everything we could have wished for in a house and dog sitter - reliable, invested in the dogs and easy to deal with. She’ll take great pictures of the pups and keep you informed during her time with them and she is naturally attuned to dog behaviour and knows how to approach a wide range of dog personalities. we have complete piece of mind when they’re in her care. 5 stars PLUS.”

Denise has been training Archie for a year. We couldn't have asked for a better trainer. Archie had a severe noise phobia and at first he barely could leave the house. Denise has gone above and beyond to help him. Each month the situation improved, and now he loves his walks with Denise and has built a strong bond of trust with her. She's easy to communicate with, reliable and flexible. And she further shared techniques with us on how to navigate his fears. We're sincerely grateful and cannot recommend her enough!

Denise has been incredible for us and Prince! From our first meeting, it was clear she genuinely cares about animals and treats Prince like her own. He always comes back happy, well-exercised, and excited for the next adventure. Denise is reliable, professional, and great at communicating we love the incredible photos she sends through of them out on walks. Whether it’s a long walk or staying with Prince while we’re away, we know our boy is in the best hands. We couldn’t ask for a better dog walker and sitter. Couldn't recommend more!
Prince
We first found Denise 3 years ago as a dog sitter for our working cocker spaniel, Jed. Denise quickly joined Jed's list of favourite humans and before we knew it, we were begging her to look after Jed more regularly. Luckily in 2024, Denise became Jed's full time daycare as well, and we don't know what we would do without her. She is now an irreplaceable member of Jed's family! Together, Jed and Denise go on beautiful adventures around Edinburgh - from Arthur's Seat to the beach.

Denise has been walking our dog weekly for over a year and has also done dog-sitting in our home several times. She has been brilliant with our dog, building a trusting bond. He is always happy to see her and goes off confidently for his walks, coming back tired and content. Denise is friendly, professional and reliable, and very knowledgeable about dog behaviour. We appreciate the lovely photos she sends of our dog out on his adventures, and that she is always happy to chat about how he is getting on

Our labrador Cally always loves her walks with Denise. They have quickly developed a great friendship! She’s professional and reliable, gives us lovely updates and she’s been incredibly understanding of Cally’s slightly more complicated needs! Cally always returns happy and tired. We’re really happy with the service Denise provides and we fully trust her with Cally.

"We were impressed right from the start with Denise's calm and knowledgeable manner and her approach to dog walking. Our dog Smudge can be tricky with other dogs and sometimes people, while out walking and Denise always had a professional plan to manage this. She now walks him with another dog, and he is always so happy and confident when he goes with her. It's really cute to see his happy wagging tail when he sees her. She prioritises safety and makes sure she gets to know the dogs really well before moving to new experiences like off lead and introduction to other dogs"
