Cat Sitting in Edinburgh

“100% recommend Daria to any pet owner. Darcy warmed to her straight away and I felt completely at ease leaving her in Daria’s care for a dog walk. Immediately felt Daria is warm, friendly, trustworthy and just “gets” animals. Thank you Daria, Darcy is already excited to see you again!”

“Eirini is a very nice, energetic and enthusiastic sitter, even on her 1st visit to my cat Julius she managed to make him warm up to her quickly. She sent me photos of her interactions with Julius straight away. Overall comms to organise everything and get to know each other went smoothly. Julius will certainly see her again! I would definitely recommend Eirini to look after your fur-baby.”

About: I have cared for dogs previously including dog sitting while owners go on holiday. I can deal with all things from cuddles to picking up the goods! I am a chartered accountant who works in a home based role therefore I can be flexible to suit your dogs needs throughout the day I will care for your animal as if it were my own. I pride myself on being a very organised and trustworthy person demonstrated by owners leaving their pets with me during their holidays.

“Jillson dropped in to care for our two cats while we were away for a couple of days. She communicated really well, sent photos of both cats and took great care of them both, particularly as one cat was appearing to be injured. We were not able to get a vet appointment before we went away due to Xmas break so she booked an extra drop in visit at short notice to check on the injured cat and provide reassurance, and kindly offered to take her to the vet if needed. I highly recommend Jillson and would have her cat sit again!”

About: I work full time caring for dogs. I really enjoy spending time with your dog, playing with them and looking after them whilst you are away. I have experience looking after a wide range of dogs and their needs. I have a very free and flexible schedule and I am willing to put a lot of time and effort into looking after your beloved pet. I have lots of flat space for your pet to play around and rest. I have no other distracting animals and no other people my full attention will be on your dog.

“Aimee was prompt, courteous, and followed all instructions provided. We got updates and pictures and it was clear our cat was well taken care of. We would definitely hire her again!”

About: I am Giulia, I live with my partner and our corgi Mortimer in a flat in the heart of Edinburgh. We are close to The Meadow (if your buddies love to meet new friends), Holyrood Park (if they prefer a more peaceful and calm park) and to a small park just behind the flat, perfect for a wee walk. Mortimer is very friendly and always happy to spend time with new dog friends :) I have always had huge love for animals and especially dogs. Since I was younger I volunteered at my local shelter back in Italy, taking care of dogs and walk them. This experience has been very important to me, I had the chance to learn how to approach many dogs with different personalities, and also with no-longer-puppies with trust issues. It has been years since we started dog boarding and walking and it has been a great experience. We will do our best to provide a loving home for your furry best friends while you are away! We want to keep your dog's routine as much stable as we can, providing as much cuddles, exercise and play as he/she needs! :) I can't wait to know your furry fellas! I work full time but I have a flexible schedule and can work remotely if needed. I usually give my dog a long walk/play in the morning and after work, and a shorter one at lunch and before going to bed. My flat is close to The Meadow (if your buddies love to meet new friends), Holyrood Park (if they prefer a more peaceful and calm park) and to a small park just behind the flat, perfect for a wee walk.

“I couldn’t recommend Lisa enough! After a bad experience with a previous sitter we were nervous about going away, but she put us at ease immediately. With all her experience, we felt really comfortable leaving our recently spayed kitten in her care. She texted us detailed updates multiple times a day & we came back to super happy & relaxed cats :)”

“Our cat Ava loves being looked after by Feng. He is professional and caring and we know that Ava is in safe hands when we need to be away. He communicates well with us which is very reassuring. Highly recommended”

About: I’ve been walking and caring for dogs for ages. I’ve also worked at an animal rights charity since 2015 because animals have a huge place in my heart and I care deeply for their well-being. If I see a dog at a restaurant or venue who doesn’t have a water dish, I’ll always get them one. I have so much empathy for animals it hurts. With me, your dog will get long walks, lots of attention, and be well cared for and engaged. I take them with me everywhere they can come and make sure they get their own dedicated walks and sniffing time. At home, they get as many cuddles as they want - I always read their cues and follow their lead. I make sure they always have a full water dish, are fed on time, and I can give them medicine, if needed. If dogs like being pet, scratched, or massaged, that's what they get from me until my hands fall off. My flat has a nice size shared garden in the back that gets lots of sunlight, and it’s fenced in. I work from home 9 to 5 Monday to Friday so it’s flexible. I take them out 5 times a day starting at 7:30am and ending at 10pm. I have them settled for sleep by 10:30. In the evenings I go to the gym at 5:30 and am away for about 90 mins total, unless otherwise specified. I leave the music on for them, softly. Other than that I’m with the dog the whole time. I’m very close to lots of green spaces including St Marks park, Eyre st park, and some gorgeous trails. Aside from garden breaks, I do one to two big walks, depending if they pull or can go off lead. My flat has a fenced in garden so we visit frequently and I never have them go more than 4 hours without a potty break. I’m very happy to send you updates however frequently you like. I usually do one midday and another in the evening, but can tailor it depending on length of their stay and your preference.

“Claire looked after my cat Tash for a few days while we were on holiday. I received lots of updates and could tell she was in good hands. Thank you!”

About: We’ve always had family dogs, and I also had my own dog for a couple of years. I have experience with foster dogs, and my friends often rely on me to take care of their pups when they travel to warmer places. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, giving them cuddles, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m currently working from home, so I can keep your dog company all day long and make sure they’re never alone if needed. I have plenty of time for hugs, games, and walks! I’m really flexible, and I believe a tired pup is a happy pup, so I love long adventures and play sessions! My partner and I live in a one-bedroom flat on Leith Walk, with plenty of parks nearby! We’ll both make sure your dog gets extra love while you’re away. I strictly follow owners’ rules when it comes to schedule and food, no treats unless you say so!

“Cats were happy and well looked after with Nicollette! She played with them, put on relaxing cat music for them and made sure all their needs were met. I would recommend Nicollette, you can definitely trust her with your pets. ”

“Charlotte was great with Olive! Olive went on really long walks which was super helpful as she is a very high energy puppy, Charlotte was on time, communicated well and very willing to accomodate olive and her needs :)”
