"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!

"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."

"Back after 5 days aboard and Lorraine looked after my two cats with a visit twice a day. Couldn’t be happier, she is a great sitter! Great communication, super cute pictures and videos so I knew they were all happy. One is a low maintanence old man cat and my other is a hyper bengal and Lorraine tailored her care for both of them. Her visits seemed long and had lots of interaction so the furry ones got all the attention and more. Thank you so much for taking care of my furr children so well! "

"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 :)"

"Kiki looked after my cat Cookie between 25th and 31st May 2025 with 2 home visits per day. Cookie is an older cat who needs oral medication twice per day and can be a fussy eater, especially when I'm not there. Cookie sometimes has abandonment issues when I've been away in the past. Kiki was brilliant with my cat, making sure her medication was provided, 2 trays kept clean and food/water provided/changed on each visit. Kiki took the time to patiently get to know Cookie and sent me one video towards the end of the week with Cookie purring whilst being clapped! Kiki provided photos on each visit to show that Cookie was eating very well and was very comfortable while I was away. I won't hesitate to contact Kiki again when I'm away from my property again. Thank you so much Kiki!"

"We couldn't be happier with Victoria. She was attentive and conscientious taking lots of notes on her initial visit. Her communication was excellent throughout. She treated our pets with great care and sent us pictures while we were away. Our cat took to Victoria quickly even sitting on her lap on her first visit. We have already booked Victoria again for our next trip 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!"

"I can wholehearted, unreservedly recommend Cyndee for the care, love and feeding of your pets. My experience is with our cat, but I would wager that Cyndee would do no less well with dogs, rabbits, parrots, and other pets that people might be hesitant to put into the care of a stranger. Cyndee dispels all that hesitation, as she is a bright, conscientious, and interesting young woman with whom I quickly felt comfortable and in whom I progressively had greater and greater confidence. Cyndee communicates extremely well and has a great skill in reporting on details that confirm her effectiveness with animals. I can only say that, when next a pet sitter is needed, I will not even consider asking anyone else. She's a five star carer, easily."

"Deborah did an absolutely fantastic job looking after my two Ragdolls while I was away. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly passionate about animals. Ragdolls are very people-oriented cats and can be quite sensitive to changes in routine, but Deborah made sure they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. When I returned home, both cats were relaxed, content, and clearly had been given plenty of attention and affection. Their food, water, litter trays, and overall wellbeing had been looked after to an excellent standard. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Deborah to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional cat sitter. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future. Thank you, Deborah!"

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 1432 pet owners in Edinburgh have left a review, with an average of 4.98/5. All paid safely using Maestro, Visa, Mastercard, American Express
