"Where do I even start?
Jennifer and Andrew have temporarily adopted my dog as one of their own. I don’t say this lightly, but they have given her so much love, care, and attention that I sometimes think she may be even more spoiled there than she is at home!
They have been incredibly kind, thoughtful, and caring, and their communication has been exceptional every single time. As a dog owner, there is no greater gift than complete peace of mind, and that’s exactly what they’ve given me.
I trust them wholeheartedly and wouldn’t use anyone else. If Jennifer and Andrew have space for my dog, they will always be my first choice, without hesitation.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you both for loving my girl so well. Any dog would be lucky to spend time with you, and any owner would be lucky to find you."

"I wish we could leave more than 5 stars!
Becky did an amazing job hosting our 3 year old bundle of excitement on his first time staying with someone. We were uncertain how he’d handle it but Becky’s calm manner really struck a chord with our dog. Quite visibly he loved his stay with Becky who provided great walks, a ton of sofa space and a lot of time chasing a frisbee. Best of all for us, we got regular updates and photos so we knew our dog was living his best life.
Becky is ideally located being close to parks, great walks and was happy to take him to a secure dog park too. Wholeheartedly recommended,"

"I can’t recommend Ashley enough! She took care of my dog for almost two weeks during the Christmas holidays, and I couldn’t have felt more at ease. She constantly sent me updates, photos, and messages, which made me feel super relaxed and reassured the whole time.
She truly treated my dog as if she were her own, bringing her with her everywhere and making her part of her daily life. It was clear how much love, attention, and care she gave her. I came back to a happy, calm dog, and that says everything.
Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my Nina — I would trust you again without any hesitation!"

"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. "

"Abbey looked after our dog while we went to a wedding in England. From setting up the dogsitting to picking our dog up from Abbey, she was absolutely amazing every step of the way. She was kind, considerate and practical, making the whole process run effortlessly.
Her responses were prompt when we were discussing meet and greets etc. (even though she was on holiday!), she asked all the right questions to make sure she had the information we needed and she was very helpful in getting our dog settled in.
While we were away Abbey sent us pictures and videos of our dog so that we knew she was okay, and kept us up to date on her behaviour (our dog can take some time to settle into a new place!). Our dog was also in season and Abbey was happy to use the reusable nappies we provided, which was very kind.
We would happily trust Abbey with our dog again - no complaints whatsoever. Abbey is a 10/10 dogsitter, thank you Abbey!"

"Andrew looked after our dog Tony for five days while we were away, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care he provided. Tony was well looked after, happy, and clearly comfortable in Andrew’s care. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Andrew was reliable, communicative, and treated Tony as if he were his own. We would happily book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.

"We honestly cannot recommend Bark and Bed Pet Services enough!
This was our first time ever using a pet sitting service, so we were understandably quite nervous about leaving our little Sophia, our 10-year-old pug, with someone we didn’t know. But from the very beginning, Bark in the Bed completely put our minds at ease.
Sophia was absolutely spoiled with love, cuddles, treats and lovely walks while we were away. We received regular photos and messages every day, which made such a difference and allowed us to see how happy and settled she was. Any messages we sent were answered so promptly, which gave us such reassurance while we were on holiday.
The sitter’s home was spacious, clean and had such a lovely, cosy feel. What really stood out to us was how relaxed and understanding they were about Sophia’s individual needs and routines. She is very much used to being allowed on our bed at home, and they were more than happy to let her continue doing this — which we really appreciated!
It was so clear that Sophia was treated as one of their own, and knowing she was safe, happy and being showered with love meant we could actually relax and enjoy our holiday.
We absolutely wouldn’t hesitate to use Bark in the Bed again for our Sophia, and we would wholeheartedly recommend them to any of our family and friends looking for someone they can genuinely trust with their beloved pets.
Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our girl — we came home to a very happy, very spoiled little pug! ❤️"

"Pistachio had a WONDERFUL time with Charlotte and Kevin. I was a bit apprehensive about leaving Pistachio (Stash for short) for almost 2 full weeks, but I needed to go back to North America to see family so I wanted to be sure I picked the right dog sitter for the job. Charlotte was always good about keeping in contact with me, answering any questions I had, and making sure there was always an open door of communication. I set up two doggy daycare days with Charlotte prior to the 2 week long stay, just to be sure Stash was familiar with Charlotte and Kevin, and also to be sure it was a good fit. Stash always came back happy after staying with Charlotte and Kevin, and I could tell they all really enjoyed each others company. While I was away Charlotte was sure to send me photos of Stash going on her daily walks and even going to some tourist spots I. Edinburgh. I’m convinced Stash had her own vacation whilst I was away! I never had to worry while I was gone cause I knew Stash was in good hands with Charlotte and Kevin. I highly recommend them for dog sitting and will likely use them again whenever I need to have someone watch Stash. "

"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!

"Andra was amazing from the start - quick to respond, kind, friendly, understanding and patient. She was flexible to meet our needs as we have a rescue who needed a few meet ups beforehand. She sent us daily updates and it was clear she adored her time with our wee boy. Our dog doesn’t tend to warm to new people that well but he was snuggling and licking her very quickly - that shows how great she was with him by helping him stick to his routine and to make him feel comfortable in her home. We lucked out finding Andra and will definitely keep her in mind for future visits. "

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.
