"Michelle is an incredible dog sitter who clearly enjoys her work. Our dog spent a week at her house in Oct 2025 and clearly loved every minute of it. Michelle is well organised, professional and provides amazing daily updates. We can't rate her highly enough and would recommend her to everyone who needs a dog sitter. "

"We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Sigrid! From the moment we met her, it was clear she has a natural, calm energy that dogs really respond to—ours warmed up to her immediately, which is no small feat. One of our dogs is older and has anxiety, and Sigrid was incredibly patient, gentle, and understanding with him. She handled his quirks with so much care, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away.
Sigrid sent us daily pictures and updates, which we really appreciated—it was clear from the photos that our pups were happy, relaxed, and well cared for. She took them on regular walks, gave them treats and toys, and made sure they got lots of love and attention. Her home is in a great location for dogs, right by a large park.
What really stood out was how genuinely she cared about our dogs. Our dogs are large breeds and she totally embraced their size and energy! She clearly is very experienced with all kinds of canine personalities. We’re so grateful to have found her and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and truly exceptional dog sitter. Thank you, Sigrid!

"Ali and Guy took such amazing care of our dog Angus, we felt so relaxed being away knowing he was in safe hands with people who clearly love dogs and know how to look after them. We received regular updates and photos of how Angus was getting on and some of the amazing walks they took him on. We would definitely call on them again in future if we need a dog sitter. "

"Normante was brilliant with our wee Chihuahua pup Margot. Margot spent her first night away from home and she loved it. The process was so smooth and Normante was so kind and helpful. We really appreciated the photos and updates of Margot while she was in boarding. I would recommend Normante to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy minder for their dog! "

"Craig was happy to take on a last-minute booking, and provided and asked for plenty of information beforehand. He did a great job making sure my anxious dog was feeling okay by giving her plenty of attention, and made sure she was comfortable around the other dogs he was boarding at the time. I received many pupdates and photos, which made me feel at ease too. Definitely recommend! :)"

"Lois was fantastic when our dog, Hamish, went to stay with her. She gave us regular updates and made sure she had all the relevant information to ensure he’d have a smooth transition for his stay. Normally I feel bad when leaving our dog behind when we go away, but Hamish was treated to a holiday of his own, and he had so much fun. He was so happy in all his photos and I know he’d gladly stay again! I have no hesitation in recommending Lois for your next dog sitter!"

"I had to travel away from Edinburgh for 3 whole weeks, the longest I have ever been away from my dog Egan, who has severe separation anxiety. I was a little worried and apprehensive, but Kenneth put all my doubts to rest from the very first day. Egan took to him from the moment they met, and was very excited and comfortable when I brought him to his house, immediately sniffing around and exploring the place, and greeting Kenneth and his partner with utmost enthusiasm.
Kenneth has been so kind, patient and understanding with Egan, tending to his wants and needs while setting appropriate behavioral boundaries, like he were Egan’s own parent. He made sure to regularly update me with pictures, videos and messages to keep my anxiety at bay, and was always available to chat and discuss things.
Egan did not panic, get upset or display signs of missing me even once, and had the time of his life at their house! He was treated like a king, being allowed on all the furniture and into every room of the house, which is what he is used to at home. He ended up quickly getting very attached to Kenneth in just a short span of time and following him around everywhere. He has developed a level of trust and affection that surprises me and warms my heart.
When I was unable to fly back to the UK on time due to an unforeseen emergency, Kenneth was very concerned and understanding and tried to help out with sorting Egan’s dogsitting situation as much as possible, even offering to cancel his personal plans for us.
I would highly recommend leaving your pet here due to the excellent level of dedication, communication and empathy that Kenneth displays, not to mention an absolute value for money! "

Why dog boarding ?
For pet parents, one of the hardest things about going to work each day is wondering what your dog will get up to while you are gone. At Pawshake, we understand that dogs need activity and interaction during the day, so why not book your dog with one of our trusted sitters in Edinburgh for a doggy day care service? You can drop your dog off at the sitter’s home on the way to work or organise with your local Edinburgh Pawshake sitter to pick up and drop off your dog for you.
Pet day care is a great way to keep your dog mentally and physically active during the day so that you can come home to a happy, relaxed dog. Pawshake’s home day care service is great for young dogs who need constant supervision: puppy daycare allows your pup to maintain a consistent routine, which is important during the toilet training process. It’s also a great option for dogs who need extra care and attention, or those who are extra active.
Our sitters who offer doggy day care and puppy daycare services are more adaptable than your average big day care centre. Numbers are kept small and some Pawshake sitters will only take in one dog at a time. This means they can work around your timing and any special requirements your dog may have. So, let your four-legged best friend enjoy their day with a fun and loving Edinburgh sitter who will shower them with love and dedicated attention. On top of that, you will also get photos and updates during the day so that you can follow your dog’s day care adventures!
Every day care booking also comes included with The Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer service support 7 days a week and more.
