House Sitting in Edinburgh

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs—including chihuahuas, a Bernese Mountain Dog, and currently a high-energy golden retriever and a 14-year-old senior chihuahua. I understand the unique needs of puppies, active breeds, and senior pets. I follow care routines to the letter and truly enjoy connecting with each animal’s personality. Whether it’s energetic play or gentle companionship, I provide thoughtful, consistent, and loving care. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I am a part time student and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, feedings, medications, and quality time throughout the day and evening. I treat every home and pet with respect. I follow detailed instructions and prioritize cleanliness, comfort, and routine. I ensure pets have a safe, familiar environment—whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, using harnesses properly on walks, or keeping medications on track. Communication is key, and I always provide timely updates to pet parents.

“Felicia is the absolute best, she took excellent care of our Miranda, who is an indoor outdoor sassy kitty. Every day we got photos, and a little blurb about how our cat is doing. She is professional and caring. 10/10 reccommend!”

“If Rick is available to care for your dog, book him! He is an actual dog trainer and my very fussy dog loved her time with him. Rick is very gracious and sent me doggie pics every single day. Knowing that she was in such good hands, greatly enhanced my time away. He's terrific!”

“my husband and i hired claire to watch our dogs while we were out of town on a birthday trip, and having her there made it so much easier to relax! she provided consistent updates along with pictures of them. she made sure to even pick up dog toys, and cleaned up well after herself before she left.”

“Lexi is one of the best sitters out there! You can tell she is passionate for animals and treats them as her own. She was so great at communicating with us and is very responsive. We received a video update on our pups as well. The house was left in the same shape we left it in. Very kind, sweet, and caring girl!”

Katie C.

“Bridget did a wonderful job with both our cat and dog. She went above and beyond with regards to sending photos, keeping us up to date on everything, and making sure our pets were happy. It was visible in the photos how comfy and content our pets were with her. She even did arts and crafts with them and took Letti to get ice cream. On top of all this, Bridget was watching our pets at a point where the cat and dog were getting used to living with one another, and she did a wonderful job giving them supervised interactions and continuing our socialization for both of them while we were gone. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Zoe was very accommodating to our needs with a kitten & made sure to send us lots of pictures/updates! Great with communication & will definitely use her again in the future. Our kitten was in very good hands!”

“Alison is amazing and I highly recommend her! She was my first sitter using Rover and the first dog sitter I’ve hired that I didn’t know. She took excellent care of my senior dog Jax (13 year old malamute mix with arthritis who is on multiple medications) and excellent care of my home! I was nervous about leaving him, but my nerves were instantly calmed when I met her for an introduction meeting before my trip. She sent multiple photos each day and her updates on how he was doing made me feel like she genuinely cared about him. I usually get some attitude from Jax for leaving him, but he was in such good spirits when I came home that I really think he enjoyed his time with her. The house was the least of my concerns, but she took excellent care of that as well! Don’t hesitate to book with her if she’s available! I would give her 100 stars if possible.”

Ellen B.

“Anna did fantastic with Maverick and Pennzoil!!! She made us feel comfortable, kept us updated, was so friendly, and went above and beyond caring for our lil buddies and giving them a great experience while we were out of town! We’d definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve regularly dog sat for friends, family, and neighbors, gaining experience with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. This past summer, I worked for a professional dog walking and cat visiting company, where I received hands-on training in handling different breeds, recognizing body language, and responding to a variety of situations with calm and care. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need extra training and supervision, as well as senior pets who may require gentler handling or special accommodations. I’m skilled at following detailed care instructions, administering medications, and adjusting my approach to match each pet’s personality and needs. What sets me apart is my combination of lifelong passion, professional training, and dedication to treating every pet as if they were my own. I go to Indiana University Indianapolis, but I make time in my weekly routine to care for pets because it’s something I truly enjoy. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to fit in walks, drop-in visits, and sitting around my classes. Whether it’s mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I’m able to dedicate quality time to making sure pets are happy, healthy, and well cared for. My classes are only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their established routines and any specific instructions provided to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive to each animal’s unique needs, whether that means using special walking equipment, feeding a particular diet, or administering medications. My background working for a dog walking and cat visiting company taught me how to handle pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, as well as how to respond calmly to unexpected situations. I make safety a top priority, ensuring leashes and harnesses are secure, doors and gates are closed, and pets are never put in unsafe situations. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing consistent care, affection, and attention so both pets and owners can feel confident and at ease.

About: I have had my own dogs for the past 9 years and they are always loved and taken care of. Never abused and lots of walks. I work 16/hours a week, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets anytime after 12pm. I’m also willing to work around your needs. I have a fenced in area and my dogs are always let out when they want and they love to cuddle so they get lots of cuddling.

“I am so glad we found Brooke! She was such a great friend to our pups and took such great care of them. She kept us updated every day and left our home the way we left it for her. We are so thankful for her!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A+ Puppy Sitter! Kylee is truly amazing! She’s been taking care of my puppy, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment they met, my pup took to her instantly — which says a lot, because dogs know good people. Kylee is kind, patient, and super attentive. She keeps me updated with adorable photos and little check-ins, which always puts my mind at ease. Not only does she make sure my puppy is safe and happy, but she also plays with him, reinforces good habits, and gives him all the love and attention he needs (including his favorite after-dinner treat!). It’s clear she genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. If you’re lucky enough to have Kylee watching your fur baby, rest assured — they’re in the best hands. Highly, highly recommended!”

“Addison did a terrific job when she stayed over night with our tiny Yorkie, Piper. She sent pictures, gave lots of updates, and was comfortable reaching out if she had questions about anything. She was friendly and kind and Piper warmed up to her very quickly when she came for the meet and greet prior to her stay here. We definitely recommend her and will be rebooking with her in the future!”

Megan F.

“Heather agreed to watch my pup for a weekend on such short notice. She sent a lot of updates and pictures so I knew my dog was being cared for while I was away. Thank you Heather!”

Amber S.

“We booked Austin and Katie for a weekend for our 2 cats and 2 dogs. They arrived in the early morning to feed and potty our pets, and stopped by late at night to do the same. It was comforting knowing our animals weren’t left alone for too long. The visits were frequent and an appropriate duration, and the dogs genuinely were excited to see Katie when she arrived. She actually stopped by before the weekend to meet the animals and go through their routines with us. Her energy was good and calming, and we felt very comfortable leaving our babies with her. She texted pics and updated throughout the weekend, which was so appreciated!!! Will book again!!!”

Kylie S.

“Medi was amazing!”

About: I love cats, dogs- pretty much all animals ! We've had dogs all throughout my childhood and I absolutely am in love with them. My husband and i adopted our first ever cat in 2020 and I’ve been in love with cats ever since. We even adopted a one eyed cat in 2022. I also have beagle and shih Tzu mix. I’ve had pets pretty much all my life and am very responsible. I work from home, so that means I’m pretty flexible through the week and with last minute notices. I always prefer some type of notice, as I do work full time. I am always happy to keep your fur babies company and give them the best care needed! I know they’re just like another family member.

“Alyssa was fantastic and Wesson (our Great Dane) enjoyed her company. I would highly recommend Alyssa.”

“Megan did a great job at watching my dog. My dog loved her. She was attentive to his needs and stayed in constant contact with me. I hope to use her services again in the future!”
