"Back after 5 days aboard and Lorraine looked after my two cats with a visit twice a day. Couldn’t be happier, she is a great sitter! Great communication, super cute pictures and videos so I knew they were all happy. One is a low maintanence old man cat and my other is a hyper bengal and Lorraine tailored her care for both of them. Her visits seemed long and had lots of interaction so the furry ones got all the attention and more. Thank you so much for taking care of my furr children so well! "

"Samantha looked after my cat Toby while I was on holiday. She came to my house twice daily to feed him and to spend time with him. Samantha has good communication skills and she sent me twice daily update photographs while I was away. I am very happy with the care that Samantha gave Toby and highly recommend her as a pet 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 :)"

"I can wholehearted, unreservedly recommend Cyndee for the care, love and feeding of your pets. My experience is with our cat, but I would wager that Cyndee would do no less well with dogs, rabbits, parrots, and other pets that people might be hesitant to put into the care of a stranger. Cyndee dispels all that hesitation, as she is a bright, conscientious, and interesting young woman with whom I quickly felt comfortable and in whom I progressively had greater and greater confidence. Cyndee communicates extremely well and has a great skill in reporting on details that confirm her effectiveness with animals. I can only say that, when next a pet sitter is needed, I will not even consider asking anyone else. She's a five star carer, easily."

He looked after her so well when we were away, sending us daily updates and photos. We came home to a very happy cat. I would highly recommend Yoshi ⭐️"

"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. "

"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. "

"Kezia took great care of our (diabetic) cat during our summer holidays. She's a super caretaker with a passion for animals. She's friendly, trustworthy, responsible and is a quick and clear communicator. We even got nice inbetween updates with pictures of our pet. We would use her services again in the future and certainly recommend her to others."

"I highly recommend Natalie as a cat sitter for Peize. She was reliable, provided frequent updates (which gave me great peace of mind), and most importantly, Peize clearly enjoyed her company. It’s reassuring to know my cat is in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking her again for future appointments!"

"Alejandra is great! She came around to meet the cats and collect the keys, and we just sat having a lovely chat! My cats are both wary of new people, but the scardey-cat liked her instantly - always a good sign! She kept us up to date with photos, and even took the bin out for us during the week. Excellent sitter :)"

"Yu looked after our two cats while we were away for the weekend. She came round and met with us and the cats prior to us going away and learnt about their routines and personalities. She then came in twice a day while we were away and looked after all their feeding and litter trays. She sent us some lovely photos and videos while we were away so we could check they were ok. Our cats seemed very comfortable with Yu even our more anxious one who is usually very suspicious of people he doesn't know. We would highly recommend her and will book her in the future."

"Bonnie has been absolutely brilliant during our weekend away looking after our cat Mabel. She has been very professional and provided a very personal service while taking care of our pet. Her communication was great and she really showed lots of love and attention and sent us lots of updates while she was visiting our cat. She has been the best cat sitter we have ever used and will certainly be recommending her to others and would definitely ask her to look after Mabel next time we need to! Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, she genuinely cares for animals and is a really lovely person. We look forward to seeing you again in the future bonnie, thank you so much!!"

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 1153 pet owners in Edinburgh have left a review, with an average of 4.98/5. All paid safely using Maestro, Visa, Mastercard, American Express
