"Hannah was great, she came early, left late. Was super friendly and I could tell how much she loves and cares for dogs. She kept my girl company and monitored her while she is on recovery from stitches. She was attentive and vigilant.
Highly recommend, will definitely use her again!"

"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. "

"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! "

"Sam is an amazing dog sitter and dog trainer. She was able to care for our special needs dog for 3 weeks. Not to mention our dog ran into an accident and she was able to act decisively and quickly. She will go the extra mile to make sure everything is fine. Highly recommended!"

"Our girl Lemmy was in the best hands while my husband and I were away for three weeks! Christina kept us well-updated with lots of photos and we could tell that Lemmy was having the best time. Lots of outings to the beach, markets, playdates etc which is what our girl loves to do. We could tell Christina and John loved Lemmy as if she was their own dog. We will definitely be in touch with Christina again next time we need a house sitter!"

"I was beyond happy with Jeanette looking after my little cat Pippi. I couldn't have asked for a nicer, friendlier or more caring and considerate house sitter. Pippi is a very nervous little cat with other people, even with me as her owner at times. and the love, patience and time Jeanette gave in bonding with Pippi was a truly wonderful thing for me to experience. I knew Pippi was in excellent hands and she was one totally happy little cat the whole time I was away - 10th June 2025 until 19th July, so a long sit. I arrived home sick after a long flight last Saturday to find that Jeanette had also washed and folded all the bed linnen, washed towels for me and I am sure my bathroom floors had also been cleaned. She had also left me a lovely welcome home note, together with a small bottle of wine, chocolate and gorgeous little fridge magnets she had made featuring Pippi. I was really "touched" by her thoughtfulness and when I wasn't feeling too well it certainly put a smile on my face.
Should I need a house sitter or someone to feed Pippi in the future I would jump at the chance to book Jeanette again if available and would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Jeanette to anyone requiring a very caring, conscientious and loving pet sitter.

"
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."

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.
