Areti is a very reliable nanny. She was always on time and communicated in advance her availability. She had not worked with infants before and she wanted to meet us first before she decided if she would be able to care for our daughter. I appreciated that a lot, it demonstrated her maturity. She was responsible for our daughter a couple of afternoons a week for a few months - she played with her, fed her, took her out for walks etc. We have now secured a place at a nursery but we will be using her again on an ad-hoc basis."

Coming in from the US we were a little nervous about hiring a sitter for a few evenings. After many emails back and forth and upon meeting Jessica we knew our children would be in good hands. She was fabulous. It was hard because we were visiting the city and our children weren't in their own home, but Jessica was great at keeping them entertained and on track."

Kind and caring dog and cat lover
| Growing up on a farm with dogs, cats, chickens and various other pets, I have always loved caring for animals. I have looked after labradors in particular, all my life, and recently spent a year training and looking after a puppy and an elderly labrador. Sadly I am unable to have my own pet in Edinburgh, which is why I have registered as a pet carer. I have recently moved to Edinburgh and am currently job hunting, so I have plenty of time on my hands. I love all animals, and would be delighted to help you look after your pet.

I had a wonderful experience with Rosanna. She took care of my two rabbits for 9 days while I was away visiting family and she was extremely kind, professional, and caring. This was my first time using a pet sitter outside of my family and friends so I was quite anxious at first but she gave me updates throughout my trip and made me feel completely at ease. I highly recommend her and would hire her again in a heart beat."

Animal lover handle with care
| As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find a responsible and caring person to look after our furry family members. I have a lovable family dog who has brought so much joy into my life and has taught me the value of unconditional love and responsibility. I am a dependable and trustworthy individual who has a genuine love for animals. I have experience taking care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors, and I always treat them with the same care and attention that I give my own pets. I am also comfortable administering medication if necessary, as I understand the importance of following specific pet care instructions. I believe that pets are an important part of the family and deserve the best care possible. I am committed to providing exceptional pet care services and ensuring that all pets in my care feel loved, safe, and happy.

The only Kat your Dog will Absolutely love is Kat! Kat has watched our mini Dachshund Olly for the last two days so we could tour around Edinburgh. Kat sent us photos of Olly enjoying his day, her messages and Ollys joy at seeing her each day made us feel we left our baby in the right caring and loving hands. She is a fantastic communicator and will love your pet likely just like you would. If I lived here she would be my go to pet sitter. If she is available to watch your pet I would grab her. Kat also did a beautiful drawing of Olly that had my wife in tears."

Experienced pet caretaker ready to pamper your pets!
| :Hi there! I'm Annika, and I'm 21 years old. Currently, I'm pursuing my master's degree at the University of Edinburgh, where I'm immersed in the world of academia. However, my heart truly belongs to animals. I've had a deep-seated love for them since as long as I can remember, and I'm incredibly grateful for the two adorable cats that share my life, Nova and Koda.

Over the years, I've accumulated more than seven years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, particularly when their human companions are away. Being entrusted with the well-being of these furry friends has been an absolute joy and privilege for me.
During the time your pet is in my care, I will provide a safe place for them. Although I cannot host animals in my apartment, I am more than willing to come to you! During home visits I can stay as long as you need/recommend. I am available Mondays, Fridays, and the weekends all day! Thursdays I am before 2. For walks, I will take them around your neighborhood and usually walk around for at least 30 minutes. If your pet enjoys certain activities I will make sure to do that with them.

My name is Connor, I'm a student at QMU and love taking care of animals
| During my travels around the world, I have been fortunate enough to be part of several programs helping animals to live a better life, whether it is big ones that needed medical attention or smaller animals that needed a home. Recently I was living in NY where I have been dog walking and sitting for a number of people on a regular basis and absolutely loved it. At home, I have 2 cats and 2 dogs, but since I have moved here to uni I miss them an awful lot. Please let me know if I can lend a hand.

Calm & Happy Animal Lover, fully insured business
| In 2013 I began running my own online book shop and worked from home. This business has grown to include pet care as well. I love to go for walks and even more so with a dog in tow. I had my own JRT, an 8 year old rescue dog, who was heaps of fun and very energetic. Missing my dog, I joined a dog-sharing site in 2016. This was hugely successful and I made a natural progression to taking on pet care jobs here at Care.com. Since then I have been paired up with dogs, cats and a pair of giant rabbits! I am available to exercise your pets, take care of feeding, daycare, over night stays and holidays. I am happy to look after your pet in your own home or my own where I have access to an enclosed garden and am close to parks and walks up Calton Hill or Holyrood Park. I'm very happy to play fetch & tug of war with those who enjoy this and will respect all guidelines/training required. I have a Bus Pass so am able to travel with animals on the bus to get to different walks if this is required. I can Whatsapp, Skype or text daily updates so you can see your pet each day. I look forward to meeting you and your pet/s. Rates £10 for day care £10 for over night care £15 for a day & night References on request.

Cara was brilliant. She took excellent care of our rabbit while we were away. She is friendly and reliable and accommodated last minute changes with ease. She made sure that our pet was eating and behaving normally and looked after his environment well. She also kept us regularly updated, sending photos and info twice a day. I felt confident with her in charge and wouldn't hesitate to ask for her help again."

Looking for Dog Walking/Dog Sitting Positions in Edinburgh :)
| Hi there, My name is Sarah, 28, and with plenty of experience caring for and owning dogs (I had a cockapoo named Bailey, and he was a tremendous part of our family for 19 years), I can guarantee that I will care for and love your pet as if it were my own! My pet care experience started all the way back when I was in my early teens, and I would go around walking all of the neighbour's dogs; absolutely loved it! Since then, I have looked after dogs of all different shapes & sizes, personalities & moods! If your dog needs a walk, it will involve lots of chatting, pats and treats (if allowed - otherwise just lots of attention). If your dog needs day/overnight care, it will involve whatever they need to be comfortable - cuddles, play time or to just sit in quiet company. I know what your pet means to you because I know what mine meant to me. And I know the kind of care and attention I would want my own dog to have, and that's exactly what I can offer you :) I am currently working from home as a writer and have a flexible schedule, as well as live near the Meadows. Please message me if you would like to chat more. Happy to provide references and any other info you might need. Thanks - Sarah
