"having spent a few hours with my dog I think oona might have felt that he was too hyper to handle. She asked about walks and I said that it was entirely up to her but thete is a garden he is able to go into. I certainly will recommend Oona to look after your pets 100% and hopefully she'll be available to take care of my dog in the next couple of weeks."

"I highly recommend Emily if you need a pet sitter who goes above and beyond to care for animals and is extremely accommodating. We booked Emily to look after our two bouncy guinea pigs, Fred Johnson and Papa, for a week-and-a-half-long trip, and she was absolutely fantastic. She genuinely went beyond as a caretaker. From the very beginning, she was super flexible, popping in for a meet-and-greet to make sure the setup was suitable. She took our document of hyper-specific instructions completely in stride—everything from exactly how to cut their veg to navigating our washing machine dials to clean their grotty pee pads under the hidey! While we were away, she sent lovely daily photo updates, letting us know their poops were cleaned, water was changed, and even noting Fred's "beautiful wheeks." What really stood out, though, was her genuine care and willingness to help out—she even did a Lidl run to pick up extra fresh veggies for the pigs! I had a bit of a tough time toward the end of our trip and went MIA while trying to coordinate the key pick-up with my partner Sam, but Emily was incredibly patient, understanding, and lovely about all the hassle. We were her very first Pawshake clients, and we feel so lucky that we found her. Sam and I extremely recommend Emily to anyone needing a reliable and caring sitter! Thank you Emily!!!!"

"Samantha looked after my cat Toby while I was on holiday. She came to my house twice daily to feed him and to spend time with him. Samantha has good communication skills and she sent me twice daily update photographs while I was away. I am very happy with the care that Samantha gave Toby and highly recommend her as a pet sitter."

"We have never had our cat Jess looked after by a cat sitter before but knowing that Zofia was coming in each day to see her was very reassuring. Zofia was very professional and went to great lengths to make sure Jess was happy. Communication was fantastic and we got lots of photos every day of a contented cat. I would highly recommend Zofia to anyone else needing a cat sitter and will definitely be asking her to look after Jess again in the future."

"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. "

"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 :)"

"Yuetong was amazing! Her communication was impeccable and our two cats clearly really enjoyed her company (the pictures were adorable). She made leaving our boys so stress free, going above and beyond to keep them entertained, safe, well fed and happy. I couldn’t recommend her more and will be using her services again every time we go away! "

"I highly recommend Natalie as a cat sitter for Peize. She was reliable, provided frequent updates (which gave me great peace of mind), and most importantly, Peize clearly enjoyed her company. It’s reassuring to know my cat is in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking her again for future appointments!"

"Molly is the absolute best. It was our first time having a cat sitter so we were a little bit anxious, but Molly put us right at ease. She was so flexible, understanding, and relaxed that it helped us to relax! She was great with communication and checking in, and we came home to two very happy cats. "

Why pet sitting ?

When you have to go away or work long hours, you may worry about leaving your pet home alone. Have you ever wondered “Is there a pet or dog sitter in Edinburgh that can help?”.

Luckily, with Pawshake, you can easily find local and trusted pet and dog carers from Edinburgh to provide drop in visits and other services. This means a pet sitter will come and visit your pet at a time you both agree on and provide lots of love and personal attention. This can include playtime in the backyard, a walk to the local park, or just some cuddle time. Our pet carers can also administer medication, give food, and refresh the water bowl.

In home pet sitting services are a great way to break up the day and enrich it for your pet. Pawshake pet sitters have extensive experience caring for a range of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and more. If you have multiple pets, home visits are a great option to ensure that they all get a visit and lots of attention during the day.

Drop in visits are the least stressful option for your pet because your pet can stay in their favourite environment – their own home in Edinburgh. Their surroundings will be familiar and our loving and passionate Pawshake sitter will spoil them each day. Our sitters will treat your home with respect and are flexible with timing, requests and durations. All this can be discussed before you make a home visit booking.

Pet boarding is a great option for when you are away for a few days and your pet needs overnight care. Unlike pet hotels, Pawshake pet boarding allows you to arrange a personalised daily routine for your pet, whether this be extra belly rubs, playtime or 24 hour supervision. Your pet will stay with the pet sitter in a cosy home environment, rather than a large, impersonal pet hotel.

So whether you need just one day, a week or even a month, you’ll be able to find an experienced pet or dog carer to accommodate you and your pet’s needs in Edinburgh. The best part is that your Pawshake pet sitter is from your local neighbourhood, so they will be familiar with the area.

Our pet carers also have a range of experiences which include puppies, seniors, nervous pets and dog training. So if your pet has special requirements, you’ll be sure to find a pet sitter that is a good match for you.

Your pet’s safety and welfare is a big priority for us, which is why all of our Pawshake pet sitters undergo a strict vetting process by our trust and safety team. At Pawshake, we understand that you might feel a little uneasy allowing a pet sitter to enter your home or arranging pet boarding at their place. This is why Pawshake pet sitters also have reviews from other pet parents that are publicly available on their profile for you to read.

Each pet sitting home visit and pet boarding booking made through Pawshake is covered by the Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer support 7 days a week and more. Rest easy knowing that your pets will be well looked after by one of our expert pet carers in Edinburgh.

Pet owners book pet sitting in Edinburgh on Pawshake. Over 1381 pet owners in Edinburgh have left a review, with an average of 4.98/5. All paid safely using Maestro, Visa, Mastercard, American Express
