"I am writing to highly recommend Tayla as a reliable and caring dog/house sitter. She has taken care of our home and our dog, we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides.
Tayla is exceptionally responsible and trustworthy. She not only ensures our home is kept secure and tidy, but she also gives our dog the love and attention he needed, Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or just spending time playing, Tayla treats our pet like her own, and we came back to a happy and healthy dog.
She is very communicative, sending updates and pictures to ease any concerns while we’re away. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals give us peace of mind every time we leave home.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Tayla to anyone looking for a dependable and kind-hearted person to care for their home and pets. She is a true gem, and we are fortunate to have her as our sitter 🤗
Kind regards
From all of us x "

"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! "

"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!"

"Hannah was a wonderful pet sitter. Originally we were very nervous about leaving our Labrador for a long period while we were overseas, however, our dog was very happy in Hannah’s company before and after the pet sit. Her communication was excellent throughout and we would happily 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.

"Kristen looked after our dogs and guinea pig for a few days at our property, and we couldn’t be happier with the care provided. Our dogs were well-exercised, happy, and calm when we returned, and our guinea pig's cage was clean, and she seemed content as ever. Kristen kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away.
We highly recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Thank you Kristen, for the care you extended to our pets and home!"

"Mit was a great pet sitter. Oreo and Bubbles were very well cared for they even received baths, and lots of grooming which they loved. Oreo also had to be medicated with strict instructions and procedures due to a bad eye infection he contracted just before we left and Mit was excellent with his care of Oreo and his eye treatments, also keeping me updated regularly. We will definitely use Mit’s services again in the future. "

"My pup had recently been ill, so I needed to opt for an overnight dogsitter who was happy to provide medication to our furbaby. Charlotte took excellent care of our two dogs and elderly cat - providing regular updates and pics to ease our minds. She left our home tidy and clean, even vacuumed and stripped the bed - which all helped immensely. I cannot recommend Charlotte enough; she genuinely loves animals and is very accommodating. Will definitely use her services again :)"

She was neat and clean and ensured my home was spotless. She regularly gave me feedback about my dogs too. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and definitely recommend her for sitting! Thanks Edita 💕"

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.
