"I've been through about 4 or 5 cat sitters, and I can say with absolute certainty that Isabelle is the best. She has a care, attention, and professionalism that is very hard to find. Isabelle sent me regular pictures and videos, and updates about my cat's behaviours (including one that I need to keep an eye on going forward). I highly recommend booking Isabelle as a cat sitter, and I certainly will again, as long as I am in Edinburgh. "

"Andrea took care of my two cats and rabbit while I was away for a long weekend. She sent pictures and the report card with every visit. I knew my Andrea was great because even my reclusive rabbit came out to get pets from her! I would recommend Andrea and will certainly be asking her to watch my pets again while I’m away. She is friendly and personable and will immediately make you feel at ease about leaving your pets. "

"Océane is an amazing dog walker and dog sitter for my pet Skye. Skye is always very happy to be looked after by her and gets lovely walks. Skye is quite a nervous dog who can be reactive around others dogs and people, but Océane was able to build up her trust very quickly and really knows what she’s doing with nervous rescues. It’s always a pleasure to have her help me out :)"

"We couldn't be happier with Victoria. She was attentive and conscientious taking lots of notes on her initial visit. Her communication was excellent throughout. She treated our pets with great care and sent us pictures while we were away. Our cat took to Victoria quickly even sitting on her lap on her first visit. We have already booked Victoria again for our next trip away. "

"Laura did a fantastic job taking care of our two house rabbits! All their needs were seen to, and Laura really went above and beyond to take of both the rabbits and our flat, meaning we came home to two very happy rabbits.
Communication was excellent throughout, we were provided with updates during/ after all of Laura’s visits. Laura even went round early one day, on our request, to investigate something we had seen on our pet cam. Her services and updates were invaluable in giving us peace of mind while we were away from home.
We will definitely be booking Laura again to take care of our rabbits. A truly fantastic pet sitter! "

"We had Anna come look after our cats while we were away on holiday. She did a fantastic job and is by far one of the best sitter’s we have ever had. I was worried about leaving them for a longer time but Anna always made sure they had toys to play and enough enrichment so they didn’t get bored. She spent a good amount of time with them each day and gave us loads of updates and photos. It’s rare to find a sitter which whole heartedly treats your pets like they are their own. I would without a doubt book her again! "

"We hired Janelle to look after our two precious cats from 7th to 9th March 2024. She took the best care of our cats, precisely following our directions and recommendations. She proved to be very trustworthy and reliable, which put my partner and myself at ease during our absence. Communication with Janelle was fluid, with an update accompanied by photos or videos of our two cats being sent over to us after each visit.
It was evident from the videos and photos she sent us that our two cats were exceptionally comfortable in her presence. One of our cats is very fearful by nature and had never felt as comfortable around a pet sitter as she felt around Janelle, approaching her, playing with her and smelling her fingers.
I very happily recommend Janelle to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and would definitely contact her again with future pet sitting opportunities. "

"Maryna looked after our cat Ophelia for just over a week. We had never used a cat sitter before but we couldn't find space at any of our usual catteries for the dates of our holiday. The communication was wonderful! Plenty of pictures every time she visited, including those of her eating so we could feel reassured she was fed and played with. Maryna was happy to discuss any requests, including leaving extra water out in the hot weather, and even flagged when Ophelia hadn't pooped in her litter box for a few days. Maryna clearly has a love of cats and Ophelia really seemed to enjoy her visits. We'd certainly have Maryna to watch Ophelia again. Thank you!"
