"Natali was brilliant, she was house-sitting for a week and kept us updated with pictures of Misty and Ninja so we always felt relax and comfortable on our holiday. From the meet and greet with Misty and Ninja we knew straight away that they would be in safe hands so we booked her for 6 nights stay. On the meet and greet she played with the cats, well mostly with Misty because Ninja was just watching from the distance. Also, she was asking the right questions about their needs and routines. Misty, our female sphynx clearly fell in love with her straight away. Whilst we were away she spent all the time possible with Natali demanding love and attention. Ninja our ginger tabby girl is the definition of scaredy cat, she is more antisocial and doesn't trust people, she was observing Natali from distance and after few days finally she allowed herself to be stroked. The flat was left spotless when we arrived home. All in all Natali is a wonderful sitter, responsive, reliable and really cares about your pets as if they were her own. Would recommend her to anyone and will definitely book her again in the future. 🐈🐈⬛🧡🖤🐾"

"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!!!"

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!"

"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!"

"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."

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.
