"Sam was brilliant with tank she really was, she kept me up to date with what she was doing with him and sent me photos of him when she was taking him out for walks and playing in the garden, tank can be full on hard work but Sam was able to do whatever she demanded I am over the moon with her and I will want her to care for my dog again Thank you Sam 🙂"

"Annie was a wonderful pet sitter. She came on time to look after my dog for three hours whilst I had a course. My dog Rosie seemed comfortable and happy with Annie. Annie was always on time and accommodating to last minute changes, which was really appreciated. I would very much recommend Annie 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 :)"

"Andrea took care of my two cats and rabbit while I was away for a long weekend. She sent pictures and the report card with every visit. I knew my Andrea was great because even my reclusive rabbit came out to get pets from her! I would recommend Andrea and will certainly be asking her to watch my pets again while I’m away. She is friendly and personable and will immediately make you feel at ease about leaving your pets. "

"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. "

"Shea has been amazing! She cared for our two cats for five days and did a wonderful job. We particularly appreciated the numerous photos and updates she sent us each day, which reassured us that our cats were happy and well taken care of. We returned home to find them relaxed and content. We highly recommend Shea to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!"

"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!

"Sam is a wonderful pet sitter and I am very glad she was the one who looked after my pets. She clearly cares and is passionate about animals, it is very obvious she takes her role seriously. Communication was excellent, I particularly enjoyed getting messages and photo updates of how my pets were doing. I would happily let Sam look after any of my pets again in the future."

"Molly is the absolute best. It was our first time having a cat sitter so we were a little bit anxious, but Molly put us right at ease. She was so flexible, understanding, and relaxed that it helped us to relax! She was great with communication and checking in, and we came home to two very happy cats. "

"We had Anna come look after our cats while we were away on holiday. She did a fantastic job and is by far one of the best sitter’s we have ever had. I was worried about leaving them for a longer time but Anna always made sure they had toys to play and enough enrichment so they didn’t get bored. She spent a good amount of time with them each day and gave us loads of updates and photos. It’s rare to find a sitter which whole heartedly treats your pets like they are their own. I would without a doubt book her again! "

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 1255 pet owners in Edinburgh have left a review, with an average of 4.97/5. All paid safely using Maestro, Visa, Mastercard, American Express
