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.

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.

Hello everyone and thanks for checking out my profile. I’m Laszlo, a lifelong animal lover and dedicated dog sitter based in Craigmillar/Niddrie. 
As a responsible and attentive carer, I offer tailored services based on your dog’s individual needs—whether they’re full of energy and need playtime and walks, or prefer a slower pace with cuddles and company. I’m experienced with dogs of small and medium sizes, puppy to adult ages, and I always strive to keep their routines as consistent and stress-free as possible.
Your pet’s wellbeing is my top priority, and I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, or video check-ins for peace of mind.
There’s nothing more rewarding than making a pet feel safe, loved, and happy while their humans are away or attending boring human stuff.
Let’s chat—I’d love to meet your pup! 
** It is important you know that I don't hold any qualifications to - ,and hasn't been formally trained to handle animals of any type! I owned a jack russel terrier (size don't matter!) and regularly dog sit for friends so created this profile purely out of my love for dogs. ** 



Hi! My name is Claire, and I am an international student at the Royal Dick School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Edinburgh. 
I have a pet dog back home named Coco, and I miss her so much that I would love to pet sit and keep your furry friends in company. I also just enjoy playing around with animals! 
As a vet student, I have had plenty of animal handling experiences, including small mammals, dogs and cats. I am also very friendly, and would definitely ensure you that your pets would be in good care under me! I also have experience with aggressive or sick animals. 
 I currently live in a student accommodation, so I would not be able to bring pets into my home. However, I am willing to travel to your home for as long as needed! 
I am responsible, so your basic requirements for your pets would be met. I would also provide regular updates for your animals! 

As someone who misses their dog of 6 years while at University, I'm always looking for opportunities to take care of other people's pets. I'm an animal lover of all kinds and am a studious and responsible student studying Biology at the University of Edinburgh. I have experience taking care of my own dog, who was a rescue, so I understand how to deal with animals that are shy or temperamental, as well as some experience taking care of pets for families I babysit for. I believe all animals deserve attentive care, long walks, good pets and love. I live in central Edinburgh and have flexible schedule so I can be available for walks and housesitting, although I cannot take any into my home.  I do not have a car but I do have my Young Scot card and am happy to commute by public transport or by bike. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets!
Services offered:
Dog walking: 30 minutes to 1h30, I know the city well and love taking long walks in the Meadows, Holyrood and any other part of this beautiful city
House visits: 30 minutes



Covering all UK for house sitting, with travel included in the quote for a distance up to 50 km from Edinburgh for sittings of at least 2 days. Quote will slightly increase for further distance. Drop in visits and walks available locally only. 

This isn’t an average service, but an experience designed around your friend’s wellbeing, stimulation, and joy — that treats them like family.


What’s included:

 Tailored exercise and play time.

 Based on your companion’s needs.

 Mental stimulation — playing games, and gentle, patient training.

️ Home-from-home comfort — no crates, no kennels, just quality companionship.

 Ethical bonuses for your companion: a welcome goodie bag with plant-based samples.

Because your companion deserves more. I invest time, energy, and care into every moment, offering the kind of care and companionship that builds trust. 


Perfect for:
Families who value ethical, holistic care.
Busy professionals who want peace of mind.
Those who need more than just basic needs met.


About me: 
I am spiritual and lead my life with empathy, I love other animals as much as humans. Other animals have likes, personalities and feelings just like us – we are the same at heart, so we all deserve to be treated with kindness, patience and targeted approach.

Best care guaranteed — because your companion deserves it. 


 Please consider that to every animal their life is priceless, like your life is to you, mine is to me or your companion animal’s life is to them. 

Please understand that by buying and consuming animal “products” and “by-products” innocent animals will be exploited, harmed and killed in effect of the supply — demand chain life cycle. 


Did you know? Veganism is a moral principle that humans should live without exploiting other animals. It’s simply respecting animals. And consequently certain ethical practices follow, such as a plant based diet.

And science confirms humans and cats and dogs can be perfectly healthy off a plant based diet. 

So why should your companion’s life cost 1000 other animals their lives? It shouldn’t. 


Please live vegan and speak up for the animals, as they cannot speak or defend themselves. They don’t have a choice, but you do. 

Not sure how? Google the Cube of Truth website or ask ChatGPT “how to go vegan now”. You can’t change the past but you can decide there will be 0 more animals exploited because of you.

Hello, I am a graduate student studying creative writing at Edinburgh Napier with a long history of pet sitting, dog walking, and raising pets of my own. Since I moved from overseas, I unfortunately left my sweet pets with my family- but that means I have plenty of room in my heart and day for your furry friends.
I'm a quiet, responsible, and no-nonsense pet sitter/walker that will always put your pet first. I have experience in all dog sizes and energy levels. I know the difference between the needs of a young, playful border collie and an older, special needs pug who may have specific diet needs or extra care while being walked.
I know cats can have huge personalities or be very shy, but no matter the level of socialisation you cat needs- it's always better to have someone check in on them while you're out on holiday. You can rest easy knowing that I'm ensuring your pet has their food, water, and litter checked while respectably leaving no trace in your home. If you cat isn't the shy type, then I'd love to play with her until she is ready for a nap!
I adore spending time with animals and love it when they keep me company while I write. I have an open, flexible schedule allowing me to meet your needs. I can't wait to meet your pet!

I work in tech and spend most of my days working from home.I've always been a cat lover and owned cats for more than 10 years.

I love to&nbsp; play and cuddle with them, but I always pay attention to their signs and respect their personal space.&nbsp;I'll feed them, clean their litter box and administer medication as needed.I'll be happy to share daily photos/videos to keep you updated and help making your time away a little bit easier.My services:- 1 visit a day £16- 2 visits a day £30- If you require overnight stay, feel free to ask.

Hiya!&nbsp;
I am a final-year university student, so I don’t get to see my pets back home very often: Gaby - a lovely but nervous 5-year-old rescue dog from Romania, and Teegra – an adorable 12-year-old cat.
I have cared for these pets, among others, throughout my life, providing all the care they need to bring out the best of their wonderful little personalities. I have experience caring for animals with special needs including hormonal behaviour issues making walk times more challenging, nervous rescues who struggle coming out of their shell, and senior animals needing support and medication; so I feel equipped to handle anything that comes my way.&nbsp;
I have also provided dog-walking and house-sitting on many occasions for family, friends, etc., gaining familiarity with the handling of dogs and cats with many different personalities and energy levels.
Being a lifelong pet owner, I understand the worry that comes with entrusting anyone unknown with the care of your pets, and I will do everything in my power to make you and your furry friend as comfortable as possible. I will happily provide you with consistent photos and updates throughout my time with your pets, while staying in constant communication with you to answer any questions or concerns you may have. I am also happy to chat with you before you commit to choosing me, as I know the importance of having the caretaker of you pets be someone you feel confident you can trust.&nbsp;
As a student in my final year, I have the flexibility in my schedule needed to take on drop-in visits, walks, and house-sitting, though I am unable to take in any pets for boarding at the moment due to living in a small flat that doesn’t have the space to allow a dog or cat to thrive. I am also happy to provide a short walk for dogs to use the bathroom as a part of any drop-ins, provided you as the owner would like this.
I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to spend some time with your furry friends – I promise you won’t regret putting your trust in me.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Please let me know your pets daily routines as well as any fears/triggers/special care requirements I should be aware of.&nbsp;&nbsp;
If you like it’s beneficial to also include any favourite toys/treats/activities I can include in my time with them to provide the best experience possible!&nbsp;&nbsp;
