Rebecca looked after our three dogs—Chloe, Archie, and Cooper—and we couldn’t be happier with how everything went! Chloe, in particular, doesn’t trust easily, but Rebecca’s calm and patient approach won her over in no time, which speaks volumes about her expertise and care.
Rebecca kept us updated throughout her stay, sending photos and messages, so we always felt at ease knowing the dogs were in great hands. When we returned, all three dogs were happy, healthy, and clearly well taken care of.
We highly recommend Rebecca for anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate pet sitter."

"Lucy was very easy to communicate with and took her time to ask a lot of questions about both the animals and our expectations with regards to sitting. We met a couple of times to go over everything to make sure she had every little detail covered... Our boys loved their time with Lucy (even our elusive cat). She sent an update with pictures every evening and that gave use great peace of mind when leaving our babies (the cat for the first time ever!).
Would definitely recommend Lucy (and her partner) to anyone wanting a lovely and genuinely caring pet sitter. Thanks again Lucy and Keefe! "

"Thank you Thomas for looking after our girl Gauge - she was well looked after while we were away and it gave me a peace of mind to know that she was in such good hands. Thomas sent through photos and videos of Gauge and her time at his house, they went for walks and she even got a fair bit of swimming in. Definitely recommend Thomas as a great sitter for your doggo."

"Cecilia & Franco were fantastic with my 2 dogs. They allowed the dogs to get to know them slowly, and kept them busy playing and running around the section. The dogs were happy and tired when I got home. I highly recommend these two for any house or pet sitting job!"

"We couldn’t be happier with Gemma’s care for our darling boy Boris while we were away for almost a month! It was clear that Boris adored her! ❤️ Our cat isn’t easy to please but he followed her around like a shadow and just loved being around her. She also kept us updated daily with pictures and messages which gave us such peace of mind.
Gemma constantly made sure Boris felt comfortable and loved every day. It’s so obvious she has a genuine love for pets. We’re so grateful, Gemma! We will definitely be reaching out again the next time we need a sitter. x"

"We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter this weekend.
Our dog was well cared for, loved, and had a great time. We received regular updates and great photos, which gave us peace of mind.
Our dog seemed happy and relaxed when we returned, which is always the best sign. The house was also in perfect shape.
Highly recommend this sitter for anyone looking for reliable and caring dog sitting."

"Edita took great care of our 3 cats, 2 dogs and our home. She sent photos and updates during her stay, walked the dogs, and followed all of our requests. The house was clean and tidy when we arrived home and everyone was happy - she is a lovely lady and very passionate about her home country. We highly recommend Edita for animal and house sitting, and would definitely use her again. "

"First time Pawshake user! We had to go overseas at the last minute for a family emergency and needed a dog sitter ASAP. We have a typically anxious german shepherd, which is hard to find a sitter for at the best of times. Becky came to meet our dog 2 days before we left, which was really appreciated! She was amazing with our big dog, sent daily updates, and made us feel extremely comfortable leaving him in her capable hands.
We came home to a clean house, and pur plants were still alive!!
I highly recommend Becky - 11/10.

"Catherine and Athen were wonderful pet and house sitters. They looked after our elderly dog Toby extremely well and were very attentive to his particular needs given he is an old dog with some health issues. The house was very clean and tidy on our return and communication was excellent. We would definitely recommend them!"

"Rhiaan was an incredible house and petsitter for our beautiful Russian Blue cat - Pearl. While we were away (5 nights), we regularly received videos / photos and were kept updated consistently via WhatsApp.
Pearl loved Rhiaan and she was very spoiled with lots of playtime and cuddles. Pearl can be difficult to get inside at night, however this wasn’t an issue for Rhiaan. We’ll definitely book Rhiaan again. 🙌🏼"

Why house sitting ?
Are you going away but have a pet that prefers to stay in their own environment? Or perhaps you have a range of different animals and it’s not practical for you to organise for them to stay in different places? Then you might want to consider finding a Pawshake house sitter to come and stay at your Riverhead home while you are away.
House sitting is a convenient and affordable option when you have multiple pets and also want your house to be securely looked after while you are away. Many of our pet sitters have very reasonable house sitting rates because they enjoy staying and exploring different local neighbourhoods like Riverhead.
At Pawshake, we understand that trusting your home to a stranger can be a little daunting. So we’ve done all the hard work to ensure that your Pawshake house sitter is trustworthy and reliable. All our pet sitter profiles are checked individually by our dedicated trust and safety team and some house sitters also have their own police checks which they can share with you.
The best thing about engaging a Pawshake verified house sitter is that you can relax knowing that on top of being covered by The Pawshake Guarantee which includes veterinary coverage, so your pets are being cared for in a familiar environment and your Riverhead home is also being looked after as well.
In addition to looking after your pets, most of our house sitters will happily help you by collecting your mail, taking out the bins, and watering your plants. Just make sure you discuss all your requirements with your chosen house sitter prior to booking.
