"I had a super relaxed holiday and it's all down to Alex. My pets picked up on her kind, relaxed aura and loved being with her. She sent me daily updates and lovely photos and I could see how relaxed and happy my pets were. Our pets happiness is paramount and I and my pets had the best time. My cat also has special needs and Alex took great care of him. Will always use Alex now and would recommend 100%. "

"Madison stepped in to sit for us after we had been let down last minute by not one but two other sitters, and was fantastic. The animals clearly got on well with her and she left our home clean, tidy and well looked after, with lots of lovely photos of the furry family while we were away. She was literally a holiday saver, charming, friendly, and enthusiastic, we hope she is free for future sits! Highly recommended. "

"We haven’t been away from our two boys for many years because we couldn’t find anyone trustworthy to look after them. This time, we were really pleased to have Kathy cat-sit for us. She was always responsive and sent regular updates on how the boys were doing, which put our minds at ease. We appreciate her care and attention and look forward to having her cat-sit again soon!"

"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."

"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!!"

"Yoshi did an exceptional job house sitting and looking after our two cats while we were on holiday. He was caring and attentive and provided regular updates. He let us know quickly when one of our cats had vomited a hairball and kept us informed of how they were both doing. One of our cats is not the easiest customer, and we have been so thankful to Yoshi for taking the time to build trust with both cats. Lots of pictures of the cats were provided and it was clear they were really enjoying his company. We highly recommend Yoshi for any of your pet sitting needs."

"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!"

"Great sitter! We had Luciana house sit for a week to look after our rat Blücher and everything was perfect on our return! The flat was clean and tidy still, and Blücher had been well looked after. No issues at all, and glad to have a safe set of hands for our wee rat!"

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.

Pet owners book house sitting in Edinburgh on Pawshake. Over 762 pet owners in Edinburgh have left a review, with an average of 4.98/5. All paid safely using Maestro, Visa, Mastercard, American Express
