"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. "

"Victoria looked after my two bunnies while I was away. Communication was great and it was great to know that they were both well taken care of. The place was clean and tidy when I came back and I could tell that the bunnies had a good time while I was away. I'd highly recommend booking Victoria as a petsitter :) "

"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."

"Laura was awesome! She sat my cat Mushroom for two weeks and he was well cared for. Gave us little updates along the way. She did other things at our place that she definitely didn't have to but was kind enough to take care of. Handled Mushrooms oddities in stride. Thanks again!"

"Rosie was an excellent cat sitter. Extremely communicative and reliable, Claudia had an amazing time with Rosie. Rosie sent me many photos from her each visit that helped me to be reassured that they both have a good time and Claudia is doing well, as she has never been left alone for such long time. In addition, Rosie was so kind and brought a cat feeder ensuring that there is always fresh food available. Definitely will be booking again. "

"Mickey did a fantastic job of taking care of our cats when we’re away. She is very responsible and easy to communicate with. Her daily updates make us feel safe and happy for the cats. Our cats love her very soon since she started her home visit, and they all look relaxed in those daily photos. I highly recommend Mickey to be your pet sitter! "

"Julia looked after my cats and was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cares about animals. I got regular updates with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. The cats looked relaxed, happy, and totally themselves in every picture – which says it all. I would 100% trust Julia with them again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, competent and thoughtful pet sitter. 💕🐾"

"Kiki looked after my cat Cookie between 25th and 31st May 2025 with 2 home visits per day. Cookie is an older cat who needs oral medication twice per day and can be a fussy eater, especially when I'm not there. Cookie sometimes has abandonment issues when I've been away in the past. Kiki was brilliant with my cat, making sure her medication was provided, 2 trays kept clean and food/water provided/changed on each visit. Kiki took the time to patiently get to know Cookie and sent me one video towards the end of the week with Cookie purring whilst being clapped! Kiki provided photos on each visit to show that Cookie was eating very well and was very comfortable while I was away. I won't hesitate to contact Kiki again when I'm away from my property again. Thank you so much Kiki!"

"Huge thank you to Cliona for taking should excellent care of our cat whilst we were away for two and a half weeks. Clio is a friendly and experienced pet sitter whom we felt we could trust right away. We were very grateful to her for sharing photos and videos of our cat daily. We came home to healthy and happy kitty! We would happily recommend her and book her again in future. "

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 1326 pet owners in Edinburgh have left a review, with an average of 4.98/5. All paid safely using Maestro, Visa, Mastercard, American Express
