"We were a bit nervous leaving our two cats for nearly two weeks, but Raya was an absolute delight, allowing us to relax and enjoy our holiday knowing our pets were in safe hands. We opted for overnight stays. Raya was great at getting our younger cat in at nine every night, something even we struggle with at times when she’s simply having too much fun out and about, lavishing both cats with attention and affection, and making sure our older cat didn’t get too boisterous in their play-fighting which he can sometimes do! Raya sent us daily messages and pictures and took great care of our home too, so we came back home to watered plants, a tidy flat and two very well-looked after cats. We would absolutely recommend her for all your petsitting needs and will certainly look to hire her again in the future!!"

They kept us updated with cute pictures and reports of the fun days they had caring for the dogs, and made sure they were never left alone for too long. Would highly recommend 😊"RReview by Raya

"Kayla has been absolutely amazing with my dogs. Trusting someone with your dogs is such a big thing, and she made it feel so easy from the start. She’s caring, reliable, attentive, and you can genuinely tell she loves animals.
Both of my dogs were so happy and comfortable with her, which honestly says everything. She kept me updated, gave me real peace of mind, and treated them with so much care and love. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my dogs with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely kind."

"Laura looked after my cat Koko for a week while I was away on holiday, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She did a fantastic job—Koko was clearly comfortable, happy, and well cared for throughout.
Laura kept me reassured with regular updates, which I really appreciated, and she also left the flat spotless. It was such a relief to come home to both a content pet and a clean space.
I would happily recommend Laura to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter."

"Bronwen stayed at our flat to mind our dog Kida for two weeks while we were abroad and we couldn't be happier with the service she provided. Kida can be very reactive and is extremely wary of new people but Bronwen put in a lot of effort to bond with her and get to know her in the weeks leading up to our trip. While we were away she provided daily photos and updates which was a massive comfort especially with the 7 hour time difference. She also took excellent care of our flat. I would recommend her as a dog sitter/walker to anyone!"

"Kit was absolutely wonderful with our two little dogs. She stayed at our home for 2 weeks to look after our older dogs, one of whom is extremely anxious about being left alone. Kit was so attentive and caring with them and sent us daily updates, including the most stunning photos of the dogs on their different adventures around the neighbourhood (we will definitely be printing a few that she sent us!) She was great at communication (kept us up to date about how the dogs were behaving and the neighbourhood and house generally) and left our home in immaculate condition. It was such a pleasure to have her in our home these last two weeks and I couldn't recommend her more highly. We definitely hope she will be able to come back. "

"Gergely took wonderful care of our 3-year-old lab, Milo, while we were away on holiday. They kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which was very reassuring. Milo has allergies and needs extra attention, and Gergely carefully followed all our instructions without missing a detail. The communication was excellent throughout, and we returned to a very happy and well-cared-for pooch. We would happily recommend Gergely to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful dog sitter."

She was very accommodating and was immediately great with all the animals.
She communicated well and nothing was to much trouble. We got lots of photos while we were away which was lovely to see, all the animals were clearly very happy in her care.
I'd definitely recommend Macy and look forward to the possibility of having her back next time we need her services! "

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 Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh.
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 Edinburgh 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.
