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.

Hi, there! My name is Noah and I'm now studying in the art college of UoE. I really love animals and most of my design works start from animals' perspectives. I have some experience of walking and taking care of my friends' dogs when she is busy with her work (her dog is a Corgi, he has been bullied by large dogs in his childhood, it's not easy to walk him in the street.) Also, my sister is working in London, I will take care of her baby cat, jojo, in my holiday (you can see him in my profile photos)
Because I can't have a cat in the flat I rent, I only can be responsible for home visit. I have some free time in weekdays, especially in Wednesday, and of course the weekends. I totally understand the problem of my sister when she has to fly to another country for business trips or she cannot easily promise a long holiday trip, because she worries her pets. Also we don't really agree on sending cats to a new place for boarding, most of them have stress reactions. So I think home visit is a better way to solve problems. I am very responsible for taking care of cats. Don't worry about your cats starving or feeling lonely, I'm really looking forward to spending time with them :)

Having spent the last year petsitting in France and the UK I'm now living in Edinburgh and looking to walk your four legged friends.
I'm a massive animal lover available for dog walking around Granton, Trinity and Leith areas. I've always had dogs and cats growing up and I really enjoy their company. I’ve spent time volunteering in DSPCA (RSPCA in Ireland) and Dogstrust so I’m familar with different dog breeds, sizes and personalities. I took a dog training course a few years ago where we learned various dog training techniques. 
I'm happy to vary the pace according to your dogs needs. Throwing sticks along the way if that's what they're into! I can do walks from 30 mins to 3 hours long. Your dog will enjoy a safe walk with lots of pats and attention. 
I'm available weekday evenings and weekends and happy to fit around you're schedule. 


Hello my name is Alana I have a passion for when it comes to animals I have a dog of my own he is a Staffordshire bull terrier who I love dearly 
I respect when it comes to dogs who are a little more challenging behavioural wise as my own dog is the same so I'll always understand what yourself as an owner and your dogs/ animals needs and wants are whether they need to be kept on lead or have a muzzle on or need to be walked somewhere quiet to having a good couple of hours out on a walk or even just a wee leisurely stroll around the block to Even keeping them company and occupied in your own home when your at work or even if your dog is friendly with other animals I'll always take into account in your animals needs I'll always keep to either if they have a set routine all you have to do is let me know and I shall do what ever helps you and your furry friend best 
I have grown up with dogs of my own so I really don't mind the size and breed of dogs all I want to do is keep you and your fluffy furry friend as happy a possible 

If you want any more information please don't hesitate to get in touch 

Dear pet owners:
I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to share my heartfelt desire to become a dog walker in the beautiful city of Edinburgh.
Firstly, allow me to tell you a little about my personal connection with animals. Back in my hometown, I was fortunate to adopt a street dog named Carb when she was just three months old. Through patience, love, and diligent training, I taught her how to use potty pads and sit on command. However, as I pursued my studies abroad in the UK, I have been away from her for almost a year and I have a beloved cat back home. The separation from them hasn't been easy. I miss them dearly.&nbsp;
Being away from my furry friends has intensified my longing to be surrounded by animals again. Spending time with animals brings me indescribable comfort and happiness. There is a natural closeness between us, a connection that transcends words. Drawing from my previous experience in caring for animals, I aspire to be a reliable and compassionate companion to your beloved pets.
Moreover, I live in close proximity to The Meadows, a splendid location for leisurely walks and a source of joy for both dogs and their human friends. I can already envision us immersing in the fresh air and greenery that this park has to offer.
When we first meet, my intention is to understand your pet's unique habits, needs, and any special considerations I should be mindful of. I believe that building trust is of utmost importance, so I would take the time to allow your pet(s) to become familiar with me. We would start by sitting together, forging a connection of comfort and trust, before embarking on a short walk. As time progresses, we can engage in more playful activities, tailoring each experience to suit your pet's preferences.
Throughout our journey together, I would make it a priority to keep you updated and share moments from our walks. Effective communication is vital to ensure the safety and happiness of your dear pet(s). Rest assured, you will be regularly informed of their well-being and joyous adventures.
I would be honored to be entrusted with the care of your beloved pets. Being a dog walker would grant me the opportunity to reconnect with animals with the purest and most unconditional love and bring solace to my longing heart. I genuinely look forward to meeting and understanding your pet(s) on a personal level and providing them with love, attention, and care.
Thank you for considering me. I eagerly await the possibility of becoming your pet's trusted companion and creating beautiful memories together.
Warm regards,
SiYi


 I’m veterinary technician graduate with biology master’s. I have job experience in pet hospital and private veterinary. I grew up with animals and I have experience with vast majority of pets. I love them they love me back.
I’m currently working home office as self employed data analyst, they won’t be alone. Don’t have much in my plate right now. So i’ve time for a furry fella. My Labrador passed away 2 years ago and I miss him everyday. After long years of companionship I got used to have a friend around me. Meeting new dogs and spending time with them really helps.
I live 2 minutes to The Meadows and it is perfect for dog walking I love it here. If I'm walking with a friendly social dog, it gives the opportunity to meet other dogs, say hi and play a little and if I'm walking with a dog who is nervous around other dogs/people there are paths to avoid other dogs and crowd so they can just walk and relax. The Meadows is big enough for everybody. 
Keeping the same routine is essential for dogs. I will follow their routine while getting to know them. It’s all about communication once we start they will tell me what they need and what they want.     

I’ve had dogs all 23 years of my life till i moved to the Uk (with 3 dogs currently back home). Also, i usually do pet sitting, day cares and pet walks back in my home country on a different app. 
Additionally, i had been working in a pet clinic, full time for about 1.5 years and am currently studying Veterinary medicine at the University of edinburgh. 
So i would say that i am really well equipped with the appropriate knowledge to take care of your fur babies, large or small, while you are away!
I’m currently studying at the university of edinburgh so my schedule would vary depending on the dates of stay. But typically during a weekday, 8.15am would be the earliest that i leave the house and am I'm back by latest 5pm. I’m mostly home during the weekends except for quick meetups with my friends over lunch or dinner!
P.s please do check in with me on my schedule for the week you'd like me to care for your pup if your furry friend can only be left alone for a fixed amount of time which is &lt;4hrs as my school schedule varies largely.
