Why In-Home Sitting is Better

Your dog's home is their territory. Disrupting that causes stress. It doesn't have to.

🏠

No disruption

Your dog stays in their own home — own bed, own smell, own routine. The sitter comes to them.

📱

You're always in the loop

Photo updates every visit, GPS-tracked walks. You can see exactly what's happening in real time.

Verified sitters only

Every UrPetPals sitter in Edinburgh is identity-verified. Read real reviews before booking.

🐶

Better for anxious dogs

Dogs with anxiety or reactivity cope far better at home than in an unfamiliar environment.

💊

Medication handled

Need medication given during visits? Our sitters handle it — you specify the instructions.

What Edinburgh Dog Owners Say

Verified reviews from real bookings

★★★★★

Finally a dog sitter I trust completely. She sends photos every visit and my anxious boy is so relaxed when I come home. Honestly couldn't recommend more.

Sarah M.

Cocker Spaniel, 4

Overnight sit
★★★★★

I was worried about leaving my elderly lab but the sitter was brilliant — knew exactly how to handle him, gave his medication perfectly, and the GPS updates were so reassuring.

James T.

Labrador, 12

Full-day sit
★★★★★

Much better than kennels. Max stays at home in his routine, gets proper walks, and I get photos throughout the day. This is exactly what I was looking for.
