"This was the first time we used Natali and we would certainly use her again. She was conscientious in communications prior to her cat sitting and she bonded quickly with our wee boy, who can often be wary of strangers. Plenty photos were sent of them cuddling up together.
Natali had no issues with administering his necessary twice daily medication, which is vital to his ongoing good health."

"A big thank you to Yu for looking after our two cats and our house while we were away. She sent us lots of photos and videos and kept us up to date on how the cats were and it was clear they were happy and relaxed staying with her. Yu looked after our house very well and we wouldn't hesitate to book her in the future."

"So glad we found Lena to house sit and look after our dog Hamish. He’s a very energetic spaniel so we were anxious about finding someone who could manage that energy and Lena was absolutely wonderful with him. He even injured his paw right before we left and Lena was great about finding new ways to get him tired aside from walking, and very careful about checking the details for giving him antibiotics and ensuring his paw stayed clean.
She was very thorough asking about our routine, which I really appreciated. She also took the time to find out about our house to make sure everything was secure and safe when she left after a two night stay. (Plus, the house was very tidy when we got back, and she even washed the bed linen!)
Lena was great at communicating with us while we were away, sending us videos and voice notes frequently to let us know what she and Hamish were up to! As an anxious dog parent this was massively reassuring and can’t wait for her to come back for our next booking as Hamish clearly had a lot of fun! Can’t thank you enough for keeping him safe and happy at home while we were away!"

"Sophie was an excellent dog sitter while we were away for two weeks. Our dogs are older and require extra care and Sophie was always communicative. We received daily updates, and Sophie was completely transparent with any potential issues while we were away. Sophie was responsible, conscientious, and cleaned the flat extremely well at the end of her stay as well. "

When we arrived home, our flat was very clean and tidy and everything in perfect condition. She is an amazing pet sitter, I wouldn't hesitate to use Charlotte again and recommend her 100%. She clearly loved our cat and gave her so much affection while we were away!"

"I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Allison. Beattie (my cat) claimed Allison's lap almost as soon as she arrived for an initial meet up, so no worries about the cat missing me!
Allison is lovely, easy going, and happy to follow my complicated instructions on feed times!
I will definitely ask Allison to cat/house sit again."

"It was very short notice and Acacia was so kind with the cats whilst we were rushing about mad to go glamping for the weekend. My cats seemed happy when I returned and not anxious about the 2 day break. One can be anxious but he was sniffing her hand very quickly, when she first met him. My other cat is very friendly. She was quickly booked and very reliable. I will have her look after my cats overnight or for the day again. We’re really pleased we have found a reliable cat sitter."

"Alan was great, we've had him stay over twice now. Super reliable and communicative, and was available even with very little notice. Mika is not always the easiest dog to connect with but she really seemed to take to him, and was really happy to see him when he returned. She was very relaxed on both occasions. Alan was great at communicating with us whilst we were away, kept us updated with photos, and he kept the house spotless. 10 out of 10!"

Why house sitting ?
Are you going away but have a pet that prefers to stay in their own environment? Or perhaps you have a range of different animals and it’s not practical for you to organise for them to stay in different places? Then you might want to consider finding a Pawshake house sitter to come and stay at your Balerno home while you are away.
House sitting is a convenient and affordable option when you have multiple pets and also want your house to be securely looked after while you are away. Many of our pet sitters have very reasonable house sitting rates because they enjoy staying and exploring different local neighbourhoods like Balerno.
At Pawshake, we understand that trusting your home to a stranger can be a little daunting. So we’ve done all the hard work to ensure that your Pawshake house sitter is trustworthy and reliable. All our pet sitter profiles are checked individually by our dedicated trust and safety team and some house sitters also have their own police checks which they can share with you.
The best thing about engaging a Pawshake verified house sitter is that you can relax knowing that on top of being covered by The Pawshake Guarantee which includes veterinary coverage, so your pets are being cared for in a familiar environment and your Balerno home is also being looked after as well.
In addition to looking after your pets, most of our house sitters will happily help you by collecting your mail, taking out the bins, and watering your plants. Just make sure you discuss all your requirements with your chosen house sitter prior to booking.
