"Oona was amazing with my cat, I can't recommend her highly enough. It was immediately clear that Oona cares deeply about animals and goes the extra mile to take care of them. Her communication is fantastic and she is completely reliable. She gave me peace of mind. "

"Jamie was such a great cat sitter - super reliable, easy to communicate with, and clearly really cared about our cat. I got regular updates and photos, which made me feel totally at ease while I was away. Came home to a very happy kitty and everything in perfect shape. Would definitely book again and highly recommend!"

"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!

"Mickey did a fantastic job of taking care of our cats when we’re away. She is very responsible and easy to communicate with. Her daily updates make us feel safe and happy for the cats. Our cats love her very soon since she started her home visit, and they all look relaxed in those daily photos. I highly recommend Mickey to be your pet sitter! "

"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."

"Rosie was an excellent cat sitter. Extremely communicative and reliable, Claudia had an amazing time with Rosie. Rosie sent me many photos from her each visit that helped me to be reassured that they both have a good time and Claudia is doing well, as she has never been left alone for such long time. In addition, Rosie was so kind and brought a cat feeder ensuring that there is always fresh food available. Definitely will be booking again. "

"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 :)"

"Huge thank you to Cliona for taking should excellent care of our cat whilst we were away for two and a half weeks. Clio is a friendly and experienced pet sitter whom we felt we could trust right away. We were very grateful to her for sharing photos and videos of our cat daily. We came home to healthy and happy kitty! We would happily recommend her and book her again in future. "

She made leaving our boys so stress free, going above and beyond to keep them entertained, safe, well fed and happy.

"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!"

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 1325 pet owners in Edinburgh have left a review, with an average of 4.98/5. All paid safely using Maestro, Visa, Mastercard, American Express
