Lindsey Weir cares for pooches and also offers a boarding service for dogs when their owners are away.
In her written letter to the government, she said: "I am not causing any noise or disruption to my neighbours, the complainant doesn't live in my block and is in the block next to mine."I collect dogs for dog walking from owners houses and not in my flat as claimed and boarding dogs don't cause disturbance to my neighbours."
She said: "We consider we are very lucky to have Lindsey and if we were to no longer have Lindsey's service, it would be a great stress to us and, I believe, to Harris." Neighbour Robert Cadzow said: "She told me that a complaint had been made to your department by someone who is not a neighbour but who lives elsewhere and that the nature of the complaint was that her dogs were noisy and caused a disturbance.
