"Sigrid looked after my rescue dog Bonnie for a long weekend, and I can't praise her highly enough.
The booking was pretty last minute, and she was great at responding immediately to confirm details/logistics.
She picked Bonnie up from my home early on the first day which was a huge help, allowing me to get to the train station that morning without worrying about logistics, and was also super flexible about collection time when I returned to Edinburgh.
Sigrid sent me updates and pictures throughout the long weekend. She took Bonnie to an outdoor cinema and on a trip to the pub, plus she stayed with her during the thunderstorm while Bonnie hid under a bed - her standard response to thunder and fireworks.
Bonnie looked completely settled at Sigrid's home. It was a huge relief to have someone looking after Bonnie with such care, and involving her in so many fun activities.
I would recommend Sigrid to anyone looking for dog care - I will definitely be trying to book her again."

Lois is fantastic! Our pup had the absolute best holiday while staying with her — we could tell he was happy, relaxed, and thoroughly spoiled. It’s such a relief to know he’s in such caring and capable hands. Highly recommend Lois to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dog-loving sitter!

"Michelle is a very kind and thoughtful dog sitter, who goes above and beyond for the dogs she cares for.
We have left our little female Corgi with her for a few days and came back to a relaxed and happy little girl. She had fully bonded with everyone in the household including Michelle’s dogs, who became her best friends.
Everyday Michelle took her for multiple beautiful walks and updated us on her adventures throughout the day. She also sent us plenty of pictures to warm our hearts while we were away.
We are so glad and lucky to have found Michelle, and will definitely trust Aki with her again in the future."

"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! :)"

"We could not ask for better dog sitters than Marcio and Sophie . Our little dog Lila went back to them for a three weeks holidays.
She is a bit of a princess and has a complicated feeding pattern due to having IBD . Marcio and Sophie sent daily update , photos and videos . She was so obviously happy with them, getting so much attention cuddles , walks , and play .
We could enjoy our holidays knowing she was in good hand with such lovely dog-loving couple.
Thank you so much

"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. "

"We were so nervous going away for two weeks and leaving our dog behind, but Bronwen made everything so much easier. We got updates once a day in the form of pictures and a brief update, so we never felt disconnected to McKay. Everything from how he was treated to communication was perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! Thank you so much!"

She has great experience in looking after dogs, and Kipper has an amazing time with her. I would never hesitate to recommend Lena as a pet carer. Your dog will be save and sound with Lena."

Experienced Dog And Cat Sitters Near Saughton Park4 miles

"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! "

"Monika helped us out last minute. We needed a pet sitter whilst travelling for one night. Monika went out of her way to help us out knowing we wouldn’t be regular customers. She genuinely cares about animals.
Monika looked after my old dog very well. Her home is clean , tidy, comfortable and safe. She sent me regular updates / photos and stuck to my dogs usual routine.
If only I lived closer, I would use her all the time.
I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Monika.

Alannah and Jake the dog. ❤️❤️❤️

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.
