"I've been through about 4 or 5 cat sitters, and I can say with absolute certainty that Isabelle is the best. She has a care, attention, and professionalism that is very hard to find. Isabelle sent me regular pictures and videos, and updates about my cat's behaviours (including one that I need to keep an eye on going forward). I highly recommend booking Isabelle as a cat sitter, and I certainly will again, as long as I am in Edinburgh. "

"Elizabeth was a great pet sitter for our two bunnies. She communicated with us everyday and was very trustworthy and respectful of our animals and our home. Highly recommended and hope she’ll sit for us again soon!"

"Annie has looked after our cat on a number of occasions now. She is trustworthy and brilliant at looking after our cat (who is older and requires medication). We would recommend Annie to anyone looking for a cat sitter. "

"Océane is an amazing dog walker and dog sitter for my pet Skye. Skye is always very happy to be looked after by her and gets lovely walks. Skye is quite a nervous dog who can be reactive around others dogs and people, but Océane was able to build up her trust very quickly and really knows what she’s doing with nervous rescues. It’s always a pleasure to have her help me out :)"

"Laura did a fantastic job taking care of our two house rabbits! All their needs were seen to, and Laura really went above and beyond to take of both the rabbits and our flat, meaning we came home to two very happy rabbits. Communication was excellent throughout, we were provided with updates during/ after all of Laura’s visits. Laura even went round early one day, on our request, to investigate something we had seen on our pet cam. Her services and updates were invaluable in giving us peace of mind while we were away from home. We will definitely be booking Laura again to take care of our rabbits. A truly fantastic pet sitter!

"We couldn't be happier with Victoria. She was attentive and conscientious taking lots of notes on her initial visit. Her communication was excellent throughout. She treated our pets with great care and sent us pictures while we were away. Our cat took to Victoria quickly even sitting on her lap on her first visit. We have already booked Victoria again for our next trip away. "

"We hired Janelle to look after our two precious cats from 7th to 9th March 2024. She took the best care of our cats, precisely following our directions and recommendations. She proved to be very trustworthy and reliable, which put my partner and myself at ease during our absence. Communication with Janelle was fluid, with an update accompanied by photos or videos of our two cats being sent over to us after each visit. It was evident from the videos and photos she sent us that our two cats were exceptionally comfortable in her presence. One of our cats is very fearful by nature and had never felt as comfortable around a pet sitter as she felt around Janelle, approaching her, playing with her and smelling her fingers. I very happily recommend Janelle to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and would definitely contact her again with future pet sitting opportunities. "

Why pet sitting ?

When you have to go away or work long hours, you may worry about leaving your pet home alone. Have you ever wondered “Is there a pet or dog sitter in Edinburgh that can help?”.

Luckily, with Pawshake, you can easily find local and trusted pet and dog carers from Edinburgh to provide drop in visits and other services. This means a pet sitter will come and visit your pet at a time you both agree on and provide lots of love and personal attention. This can include playtime in the backyard, a walk to the local park, or just some cuddle time. Our pet carers can also administer medication, give food, and refresh the water bowl.

In home pet sitting services are a great way to break up the day and enrich it for your pet. Pawshake pet sitters have extensive experience caring for a range of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and more. If you have multiple pets, home visits are a great option to ensure that they all get a visit and lots of attention during the day.

Drop in visits are the least stressful option for your pet because your pet can stay in their favourite environment – their own home in Edinburgh. Their surroundings will be familiar and our loving and passionate Pawshake sitter will spoil them each day. Our sitters will treat your home with respect and are flexible with timing, requests and durations. All this can be discussed before you make a home visit booking.

Pet boarding is a great option for when you are away for a few days and your pet needs overnight care. Unlike pet hotels, Pawshake pet boarding allows you to arrange a personalised daily routine for your pet, whether this be extra belly rubs, playtime or 24 hour supervision. Your pet will stay with the pet sitter in a cosy home environment, rather than a large, impersonal pet hotel.

So whether you need just one day, a week or even a month, you’ll be able to find an experienced pet or dog carer to accommodate you and your pet’s needs in Edinburgh. The best part is that your Pawshake pet sitter is from your local neighbourhood, so they will be familiar with the area.

Our pet carers also have a range of experiences which include puppies, seniors, nervous pets and dog training. So if your pet has special requirements, you’ll be sure to find a pet sitter that is a good match for you.

Your pet’s safety and welfare is a big priority for us, which is why all of our Pawshake pet sitters undergo a strict vetting process by our trust and safety team. At Pawshake, we understand that you might feel a little uneasy allowing a pet sitter to enter your home or arranging pet boarding at their place. This is why Pawshake pet sitters also have reviews from other pet parents that are publicly available on their profile for you to read.

Each pet sitting home visit and pet boarding booking made through Pawshake is covered by the Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer support 7 days a week and more. Rest easy knowing that your pets will be well looked after by one of our expert pet carers in Edinburgh.

Pet owners book pet sitting in Edinburgh on Pawshake. Over 1073 pet owners in Edinburgh have left a review, with an average of 4.97/5. All paid safely using Maestro, Visa, Mastercard, American Express
