"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!!"

"Océane was a superb sitter for our cat and dog. She truly integrated them into her life and I could tell they felt very comfortable and happy with her. She's professional, gives plenty of updates and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. Thanks Océane!"

"Yoshi was an excellent sitter! He did a long house sit for my dog, and was fantastic. He left the place clean and tidy, and sent great daily updates with pictures and videos of my dog. He was very reliable, and my dog loves him. Would definitely use Yoshi again!"

"Laura stayed at my home for 4 nights with my kitten Rafa. He was so calm and happy when I returned and my flat was also very well looked after. Everyday Laura sent me an update and cute photo of Rafa which allowed me to relax and fully enjoy my holiday. I would not hesitate to have Laura watch my cat and home again. She was great!"

"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."

"We would have no hesitation in using Natali again, or recommending her for cat sitting. We received regular updates & photos of our cat, and there were no issues with Natali giving him his twice daily medication. She bonded well with him & we came home to a happy cat, as well as a clean & tidy house."

"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!"

"Charlotte stayed in our home with our kitten Juno for a week while we were on holiday. She send us pictures and updates daily and Juno had a wonderful time with her. 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!"

"This was our first time ever leaving Pattika with a non-family member, and we couldn’t be happier. Yu made sure to stay in constant communication, kept us updated on anything and everything with regards to Pattika’s care. We are so grateful we got to enjoy our wedding with our family in peace, with the safe knowledge Tika was being looked after so well. Would definitely choose Yu to look after our pup again, she was such a lovely person and we cannot thank her enough!!!"

"Once again we have nothing but praise for Monika as a cat sitter. We have now used her on several occasions & her love & care of our cat means we have no anxiety about leaving him. He is an older cat, requiring medication but this is not a problem for Monika. Her regular updates & photos are appreciated as well."

"Macy house sat for our two dogs and our cat while we were away on holiday. 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.
