"We went on a 7 week holiday overseas and have 5 cats which we booked into our vet cattery. Two weeks prior to us leaving on our trip a stray hungry kitten turned up at our house, several attempts to find where she came from failed and we began feeding her and worried what will become of her when we go away. The cattery would not accept her as a stray cat, no shots etc. I found out about Pawshake online and Joanne accepted to take on our odd request to feed this stray kitten whilst we were away, I was able to get the kitten checked by our vet prior to going away and they advised she is the size of a 12 -14 week kitten, but with full grown teeth, so we suspect she is older than what she looks (stunted growth due to not being well looked after, stray?). We were able to lock her inside to prevent her from getting pregnant and Joanne came once a day to feed this stray cat we don't own whilst we were away, which we have named Braveheart (brave little girl for turning up to our house with 5 of our other not so friendly/nervous cats).
Joanne exceeded our expectations of looking after Braveheart, we came home to a healthy, happy cat. Joanne was able to get Braveheart to trust her after a couple of days, befriend and entertain her with toys and boxes etc. to play with being locked up in a strangers house for 7 weeks. The daily photos of Braveheart progressing and being happy were a joy to receive by email each day. We are now home and have her booked into the vet this week to be spayed and to try to integrate her into our family of 5 other cats, she will be okay but not sure about our other cats, so a challenge lays ahead. Our 5 other cats in the cattery did not like their time away from home and came home very nervous (although safe) and having difficulty readjusting. I will take up the services of Pawshake in the future when we go away for caring for our cats at home, Joanne was excellent, she is caring of animals, provided great daily photo and communication. We came home of a healthy, happy cat. In addition, it was great to have mail box cleared daily and someone coming and going in your house especially when away for a long period."

"We needed someone to look after our cat Pepper very last minute.
Mikayla answered our request quickly and we were able to get the help we needed.
Mikayla sent us frequent updates and managed to give eye drops to our cat without any issues.
The cat was super happy and healthy when we came back. I think she was a bit disappointed it was us coming home and not her awesome new cat sitter friend.
Thank you so much Mikayla for taking such great care of our little Pepper. "

"Leigh did an amazing job of looking after our cats while we were away! She often went above and beyond with her care and communication. We couldn't have been happier with our choice! Our cats were absolutely in love with her, and our one stand-offish cat decided to claim Leigh as her own, by actually sitting on her lap, which is the greatest of honours to be bestowed. ❤️😸"

"It was hard for us to contemplate leaving our guinea pig girls in the care of someone else but after our first meeting with Fiona our worries were put to rest. Fiona took excellent care of them and we came home to two well fed, clean, happy piggies. We received regular emails from Fiona while we were away which was just brilliant and so reassuring. We are very impressed with the service and care that Fiona offers and have no hesitation in recommending her to other people looking for a pet sitter."SReview by Sandra

"What a fabulous team Fernanda and her family are. Our feral cat, who hates and hides from all visitors, was eating out of their hands and smooching for cuddles! We and he were so happy that we got to extend our holiday. Place was tidy, puddy tat was very relaxed on our return, communication was great. Excellent sitters."DReview by De

"Natasha stepped in at short notice when our previous person could no longer help care for our elderly indoor cat over the New Year.
Natasha is fantastic and gave us daily updates of our cat with photos. Our cat was not feeling the best either and Natasha let us know how he was doing and her updates were very reassuring. Highly recommend Natasha as she was great with our elderly cat. Thank you Natasha ♥️"

"Stefanie took excellent care of my two indoor cats over Easter while I was away for a few days. I am an incredibly anxious pet parent and few things stress me out more than having to leave them behind when I travel. It was clear from the moment they met that my cats adored Stefanie; she's so friendly, kind, and accommodating. She sent me daily updates, with photos and videos, asked questions, cleaned up after them, and even spared the time to enjoy their company with lots of cuddles (which I'm sure they greatly appreciated). I came home to two very happy felines who behaved as though I'd never left at all. I highly recommend Stefanie to anyone in need of a pet sitter. "
