# The Doggy Minder - Business Description
The Doggy Minder is an established dog walking service operating across East Lothian since 2012, serving Prestonpans, Port Seton, Longniddry, and Wallyford. Run by Lorraine Strachan, the business caters to dog owners who need reliable, professional care for their pets during working hours.
The service operates two group walks daily, Monday to Friday, with a carefully managed maximum of five dogs per walk to ensure quality attention and safety. Each walk lasts a full hour and includes convenient pick-up and drop-off from clients' homes. Dogs receive water during walks and are dried off upon return if needed.
What sets The Doggy Minder apart is Lorraine's commitment to professional standards and transparency. She holds full specialist pet business insurance, is registered as an Approved Professional Dog Walking Company with East Lothian Council, and has undergone police vetting through Disclosure Scotland—reassuring credentials that many competitors lack. New dogs receive lead walks until a strong recall is established, with a trial week offered to ensure compatibility within the group and client satisfaction. Regular Facebook updates keep owners engaged with photos and videos of their dogs enjoying activities.
The business has built a strong reputation, with clients praising the care, communication, and evident enjoyment their dogs experience. This combination of professionalism, personal attention, and genuine passion for dogs' wellbeing makes The Doggy Minder a trusted choice for East Lothian pet owners.
