Dog Daycare in Edinburgh
1-on-1 Care — Not a Packed Facility
UrPetPals connects Edinburgh dog owners with verified local carers across Morningside, Bruntsfield, Marchmont, Leith, Corstorphine, Stockbridge and beyond. Your dog spends the day in a real Edinburgh home with GPS walks on Arthur's Seat and in Holyrood Park, hourly photo updates, and individual attention that Edinburgh's group daycare facilities can't match.

What Dog Owners in Edinburgh Say
“My dog used to come home exhausted and stressed from the daycare facility. With UrPetPals she comes home tired and happy — completely different energy. The photo updates are brilliant too.”
“My anxious rescue was terrified of other dogs. Home daycare changed everything — 1-on-1 with a trusted carer, GPS walk every day. He's a different dog. Genuinely can't recommend this enough.”
“Been using UrPetPals for weekly daycare for 3 months now. My dog knows the routine, loves the carer, and I never worry about what's happening. The GPS updates every walk give me peace of mind.”
