# Paws, Claws & Whiskers

Paws, Claws & Whiskers is a Stirling-based pet care service run by Mairi McGowan, offering dog walking and pet sitting services to local pet owners. The business caters to busy families and individuals who need reliable, compassionate care for their pets when they're unable to be present themselves.

The core offering comprises two main services: professional dog walking for dogs requiring regular exercise and companionship, and flexible pet sitting for occasions when owners are away or have other commitments. What sets this business apart is Mairi's lifelong connection to Stirling and her genuine passion for walking. Rather than generic routes, she leverages her extensive local knowledge to provide dogs with varied, stimulating walks along Stirling's diverse walking routes—many of which are specifically curated and recommended on her website.

This local expertise combined with a clear understanding of individual pet needs creates a personalised approach to pet care. The tagline "Caring for your family as much as you do" reflects the business philosophy: pets aren't just animals to be looked after, but valued family members deserving attentive, loving care.

The business appeals to pet owners seeking peace of mind through trustworthy, knowledgeable service. Whether it's a regular dog walker who understands their pet's personality and needs, or a pet sitter for holiday or work commitments, Mairi positions herself as a solution for Stirling residents who prioritise their pets' wellbeing and happiness.
