Cat Sitting in East Lothian

“Freya looked after my wee cat Lucy brilliantly over a 4/5 day break. Communication was great, Freya came and met Lucy before we went away and was friendly and accommodating throughout. Highly recommended, thank you!”

“Once again Sarah blew us away. She is reliable, so good with animals and even went above and beyond staying late cause our cat fell asleep on her. We couldn’t recommend her services enough!”

“Allie is such a wonderful sitter,our pup is very very energetic but from the moment we met our mind was at ease , she kept us updated the whole time and sent plenty of photos,she even text afterwards to update us. Will definately be happy to have Allie watch Koda again.”

“Sam's partner was very professional at helping to care for my Leo and Christina. Will book them again! Thanks for your help!”

“Amy stepped in at the last minute on Christmas Eve and rearranged her plans to look after Bernard. The sit of 4 hours went smoothly and Bernard was calm and happy when we arrived home. Bernard would be very happy to see her again. 😊.”

“Sadhbh is a caring and enthusiastic person, who I take many hikes with in and around the hills surrounding Edinburgh. As someone who is used to walking her friends and familys dogs, and a cat owner herself, she is the perfect person to take on the responsibility of looking after your pet.”

“Anita was amazing when I was away for 2 weeks. Picur was on special diet and Anita made sure that my rabbit gets the best care possible. Anita was carrying, gentle and tried to entertain Picur with different games and toys for rabbits. She even helped me to cut Picur's nails, and that was a massive help! I highly recommend her!”

“Talia was amazing with my cats! She stayed longer than expected, shared detailed updates and lots of photos, and looked after them incredibly well! I highly recommend talia to all, and hope to have her look after my cats again!”

“Ciara is very kind and trustworthy person who loves looking after and caring for animals especially dogs. She is super friendly and dogs love her 💕🙆🏻‍♀️”

“Tommy Blink is a natural with animals, and great with people, too. He is responsible and kind, and has never met a dog or cat he didn't love. If I needed someone to watch my own precious dog, Mae, Tommy would be my first choice!”

About: Due to my life as a vet student, I have lots of experience with all types of animals, I was a dog walker for a year and have worked in shelters and on farms from the age of 14 (I am now 19). I am new to rover but would love to get started. I love to work with animals of all types and would be happy to walk a dog, feed cats, or look after a number of exotic or small animals. I will always treat any animal in my care like it is my own and will make sure any time it has with me is at the standard of care that you would provide. I will always make sure I am on time as I wouldn't want any animal sitting in a house or flat for longer than it is used to. I do not own any pets therefore I can take pets that are not vaccinated, however I would like warning of this so I can ensure that my space is cleaned before they next pet just to be on the safe side. I am a student but have weekends and evenings free. Due to my schedule not being completely the same every week I will be available through the week on different days. I have a flat which has a secure staircase and is always warm. I have a communal grass area outside in which a dog can use the toilet.

About: I've had dogs all of my life, and have been responsible for them since I was a teenager. I've always loved being around dogs and engaging with them. I have 2 dogs at home who have taught me so much about both myself, and the life of dogs! My late father used to run a dog boarding facility where he housed a minimum of 25 dogs at any given time and I regularly took over for him so he could go on holiday as well as helping out with various duties when I visited him. I have experience with reactive dogs, having had a reactive dog myself and having looked after reactive dogs at my dad's. I have attended a lot of dog training classes with my own dogs so have experience in obedience training; I don't currently have professional qualifications for this but I aim to become an accredited dog trainer in the future. I'm currently building up clients for dog walking and have no other employment so I'm generally available most of the time for any kind of dog care, although drop in visits and dog walking is my preference. When I have dogs staying with me, I like to check that they are okay to be left home alone before making any plans; I like to go to the gym regularly, but I'm flexible on this and I generally plan my day/week around the needs of the dog(s) staying with me. I have 2 dogs of my own at home who love playing with other dogs, but also know when other dogs don't want to play. I usually walk my dogs in the morning for around an hour a day, usually as one long walk but I'm happy to adjust my routines to fit the needs of the dog(s) staying with me. As I'm home for most of the day, dogs will be let out in the garden multiple times a day (pretty much whenever they ask!). If I'm petsitting in your home, my dogs would be happy to be left at home with my housemate (my housemate would not be providing care to guest dogs, only to my own dogs when I am house-sitting for someone else). In regard to dog walking and drop in visits, I am willing to meet the needs of you and your pooch; I appreciate all dogs have different care requirements and the owner always knows best!

“Mali has been around dogs since a young age, and since rescuing our dog Myrtl it’s safe to say so that she couldn’t imagine her life without her.”

“Rachel adores all dogs, and understands the importance of excellent communication and regular updates when it comes to your pet - she will take great care of your pooch! Rachel has a particular love of sighthounds, and has experience with these breeds as pets.”

“I am absolutely delighted with the fantastic care that Sarah provided for Loki, Oscar, and Ziggy. From the moment she entered our home, it was evident that she has a genuine love and understanding for cats. Sarah's attention to detail was impeccable. She followed all the instructions I provided for each of my cats, ensuring they received the proper care, food, and playtime they needed. Oscar and Ziggy immediately warmed up to her, and it was heartwarming to see them enjoy her company so much. I want to extend a sincere apology to Sarah for Loki's shyness. Loki tends to be a bit shy and timid around new people, and I'm sorry if he made things a little challenging. Sarah also went above and beyond by sending me regular updates and adorable pictures of my cats during her visits. It definitely eased my mind knowing that they were in such caring hands while I was away. I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah to anyone in need of a responsible and loving cat sitter. She's a true professional, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her services again in the future. Thank you, Sarah, for taking such wonderful care of Loki, Oscar, and Ziggy.”

“Laurie looked after my dog for a week while I was on holiday, could not recommend enough. 10/10 care given whilst I was away. She is a loving and responsible caregiver.”

“From my son Noah - Amie was really good, gave lots of snuggles and the cats loved her. From me - Communicative, responsive and helpful, thank you. We look forward to using you again in the future.”

“Sophie was absolutely amazing, she came to visit before to meet the cats and gave me regular updates on the app whilst I was on holiday. The cats were really well looked after and looked happy in all the update pictures. Highly recommend and will definitely book Sophie again!”

About: Hello! I am Nicole, 28 from Edinburgh. Animals are my life. I always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. Growing up, we had an Alsatian dog. And most recently a Yorkshire Terrier. We also had two cats. I currently have two cats of my own, Ren and Thalia who are my absolute life. My friends and family have dogs and cats and I try and hang around and take care of them as much as I can, these range from cats, reptiles and dogs - Bichon Frise, Yorkshire terriers, many Labradors and spaniels. I’m currently working 9-5 Mon to Fri in Edinburgh. I would be happy for early morning walks or any time after 5pm. However, for house sitting, this would be preferable on weekends or anytime after 5pm during the week. Due to having two cats of my own, I believe it would be preferable to care for your pet in your own home. For their own comfort. I understand how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pet with a stranger, meeting up before (as many times as you’d like) to make sure we are a perfect match 😊

“Caerey is great with dogs! I feel comfortable when she helps out with walks or just nipping in to let the dog out the back. She is also very reliable.”
