About: Hi, I’m MayMay! I speak English 🇬🇧, Cantonese 🇭🇰, Mandarin 🇨🇳🇹🇼, & a bit of Korean 🇰🇷. I’m currently pet-sitting to support my goal of raising £12,000 for gem & diamond school, so every booking helps me chase my dream while giving your pet loving care! I’m originally from Hong Kong and grew up surrounded by dogs 😆. I’ve been living with them since I was 2, and back home I have a much-loved Shih Tzu, Cookie, who taught me so much about patience, routines, and understanding each animal’s personality. I moved to the UK for my studies and, 1.5 years ago, followed my childhood dream by immigrating here. I’m now based in Edinburgh long-term, so you can count on reliable, consistent, and caring support for your pet. I make sure to follow your pet’s routine, give attention and playtime suited to their personality, and send updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy and safe. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family and give you peace of mind while you’re away, send me a message now 🐾 I currently work part-time in retail (8 hours a week)😇, so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or daytime visits 🐾💕 I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and any instructions you leave, from feeding and walks to medication and home care. You’ll receive updates when I arrive and before I leave, along with photos and a summary of how the visit went, so you always know how your pet is doing 🥰
About: I’ve raised and taken care of foster dogs since I was a teen. I’ve recently moved to Edinburgh and I am keen to care for other people’s pups and explore the city on walks I work from home and able to be flexible with walk times and day care. I love to walk around Edinburgh and have access to a private garden to let the pups run around I’m gentle, calm and love to care for dogs. I believe calmness and making pups feel safe, is the key to ensuring good behaviour
About: My family have had dogs my entire life, all of which have been such special characters! My last dog was particularly special, having had her for 15+ years. Miss having the opportunity to look after her whenever I wish! I'd regularly look after her when my parents went away. Often I'd keep her for months at my flat as we both loved each others company. I'm very active and love going for walks so if you're dog is particularly energetic, we'll just have to go for a long walk, won't we! I'm currently a student so I'm available from Friday (12:30/13:00) right through the weekend to look after your dog(s). My partner (who I live with) loves dogs too and works from home during the week in case you need a little more flexibility around pick-up/drop-off timings; he's always happy to help out! Our flat does not have a garden and is two floors up. It's a spacious flat however and I'd take them out for walks regularly, depending on their needs. If your dog struggles with stairs and is not too large, I can pick them up as I used to do with my old dog who was a collie spaniel cross.
About: I'm a recent expat to Edinburgh with lots of time and love to give! I've been a petsitter and housesitter for the past 8 years, looking after the most precious furbabies, homes and plants. I have experience working at the RSPCA, caring for cats who are in recovery from cat flu, desex, amputation, ringworm or orphaned kittens. I grew up with a beautiful black and white rescue kitten, Nellie - as my closest sibling. We spent 18 years together and I still miss her every day. I treat your pet as if they are my own, making them feel safe and loved in every way. I've recently moved to Edinburgh and I'm taking some time to settle in. I don't have a strict work schedule so I can work around yours. I ensure a loving, safe and supportive environment for your pet. They will have all of the food, bedding, enrichment and social time exactly as you prefer. Your pet and home will be cared for as my own, and I provide photo updates for you to connect while you're away.
“I was initially skeptical about leaving Buster with someone I didn’t know, given his hyper personality. However, after returning from my trip, I found a much calmer dog. Bilquees did an outstanding job not only walking him but also caring for him. Her understanding of hyperactive and reactive dogs is impressive, and her nurturing nature was class!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and genuinely love having them around. My family have had a Labrador, a Vizsla and now a German Pointer, so I’m very comfortable with larger, energetic breeds. Although I no longer live at home, I still regularly help care for family and friends’ dogs. I currently look after a Cocker Spaniel two to three times a week and he often stays overnight with me. I’ve also had my family’s German Pointer stay at my flat when they visit Edinburgh, looked after a friend’s German Pointer many times, and cared for a friend’s Jack Russell on several occasions. I’m reliable, calm and happy to follow each dog’s usual routine so they feel settled and relaxed while you’re away. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I can give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m available for dog boarding in my home, drop-in visits, and walks, and I’m happy to work around your dog’s usual routine to help them feel settled, comfortable and cared for. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I live in a clean, dog-friendly flat where they’ll receive lots of love, attention and regular walks. I’ll always follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, medication (if needed), exercise and any house rules you have. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is in safe hands. For drop-in visits, I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own.
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.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. I had a cat from a young age, and my grandparents lived next door with dogs, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. With flexible working hours, I can easily fit around your pet’s routine — whether that’s long walks (which I genuinely love), playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I’d love to have a dog or cat of my own, but as I travel fairly often, pet sitting is the perfect balance. I’ve provided in-home care for both dogs and cats, including caring for my friends’ pets. I always make sure every pet feels safe, relaxed and loved, whether they prefer quiet companionship or lots of affection 🐾🍂 I work from home Monday to Friday, which allows me to easily adjust my schedule to suit your pet’s needs — whether that’s a midday walk, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I enjoy longer walks in the evenings and at weekends. With a flexible routine, I can make sure your pet always receives the care, attention, and companionship they need. My day usually starts with a coffee and a walk to Meadows Park, just next to my flat. I often head out for a shorter midday stroll, and after work I enjoy a longer walk to unwind. Throughout the day, there’s always time for play, cuddles, and keeping your pet company. I’m more than happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, even if it’s different from mine. I have plenty of experience with ball throwing, wand toys, and finding the right balance between play and rest to keep pets happy and relaxed.
“Feng was amazing with my chihuahuas. He would make sure they had food and water and a walk. He would always go out of his way to make sure they are ok. Feng is always my first choice ❤️ He is true animal lover ⭐️”

About: Animal lover living in Canonmills with lots of great walking spots nearby. I love getting outdoors at the weekends, whether it’s parks or beaches, and would be happy to bring your dog along if they enjoy car trips. Experience only through only pets but have owned dogs and cats my whole life. I work part-time in the NHS so I am free afternoons/evenings/weekends. I love getting outdoors at the weekends, whether that’s exploring Edinburgh or heading to the beach, and are happy to bring dogs along if they enjoy car journeys. I have a calm, pet-friendly flat in Canonmills and plenty of lovely walking routes nearby. I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for and gets lots of attention while they’re with us.
About: I have looked after many dogs and cats and I feel very confident that I'm going to provide amazing care for your special companion(s). I would love the opportunity to get to know your pets and ensure they feel safe, happy and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs so whether yours enjoys playtime, cuddles or simply some calm and relaxed company, I will ensure their individual needs are met and I will always do my best to provide the same love and attention they receive at home. I am currently taking some time off work which means that I have plenty of availability. If you have any questions about that, please get in touch. I am happy to provide any reassurance that you would like to receive - whether it's regular photographs, specific details from the visit or anything else you might need to be more at ease.
“Joanie was great with Fergus, he quickly warmed to her and it’s clear that she has plenty of experience with dogs. Also very good at communicating with us. I’d highly recommend.”
“Hamish took Goose for a great walk, he was communicative and easy to work with. He obviously knows and loves dogs and I totally trust him to take care of Goose and entertain him on his walk.”
About: I have had pets since I was young of all kind. I had 3 dogs which I would walk and feed and I had guinea pigs and rabbits which I would take care off and clean up after, and I just love being around all sorts of animals. I am a student so I would have to work around a schedule in the day but I am free every evening to look after pets since I don’t work part time anymore I keep my flat very secure. I live right next to Holyrood park so I have a great place to go on lots of nice long walks and I also have insurance.
“I always feel my dog is in great hands with Rebecca! I'm requested walks from Rebecca multiple times and each time she leaves very detailed notes and takes lots of great pictures. Will definitely continue to keep working with her!”

I have used Caroline twice. She is very prompt with her responses to messages and turned up on time despite some inclement weather. I could tell she was doing a good job as my dog was delighted when Caroline came the second time. I will use again if the need arises.
Pippa has been absolutely wonderful. Ruby was so excited to meet her straight away, which instantly put our minds at ease. Pippa was incredibly understanding about Ruby's little excited bladder and handled everything with such kindness and patience. She took Ruby on a lovely walk and kept us updated throughout with lots of videos and photos, which was so reassuring. It was clear from every update that Ruby was having the best time and looked so happy and relaxed. Communication has been fantastic from the very beginning - warm, friendly and reliable. It's obvious that Pippa genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. We're so grateful to have found someone we can trust with Ruby, and we're already looking forward to booking with her again!
This was my first time using a dog walker and I am so glad I did it - Grace was brilliant! I had plans fall through and Grace was so quick to respond to my request, we got everything sorted so quickly and it gave me such peace of mind! I also loved the updates I got from the walks and her attitude and attention to care was above and beyond what I expected! My dog also loved her and clearly had a great time on his walks! I recommend her to anyone and hope to book her again in the future!
Caitlin was a fantastic dog sitter. Prompt, friendly, enthusiastic and flexible enough to arrange at short notice. Our dog had a lovely walk with her and came back happy and relaxed. We received some cute photos of their walk in Holyrood Park. We will definitely be booking her again!
Eirini is the most kind, considerate dog walker we have had. She is punctual, has constant communication and most importantly our dog loves her! He is a nervous boy who is skeptical of people but she was happy to take it slowly at the beginning and now they are best friends!! We feel very comfortable leaving him in her care as we know he will be looked after (such as turning fan on, filling up water bowl and closing curtains etc if it gets hot during the day when we are out)! She also takes time to sit with him after walks if he is unsettled, which we never ask her to do!! Cannot recommend enough for any dog sitting needs she is great!! She also has a song she sings to our dog when she comes in the door and his tail always wags like mad 🥹

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Edinburgh. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Edinburgh.

Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
