"We were thoroughly impressed with Lauren’s care for both our home and our cat, Winston. Winston is typically very anxious and slow to warm up to strangers, but he relaxed with Lauren within just a day—a testament to her gentle and attentive approach. She provided him with a calm, safe environment, ensured he was fed and medicated as needed, and clearly went above and beyond to make him comfortable.
In addition to her excellent pet care, Lauren took wonderful care of our home, leaving it immaculate. We highly recommend her services and would happily welcome her back in the future."

"We had never used a pet sitter before, so we were quite nervous about having someone care for our indoor cats. When we met Edita, she was incredibly kind and showed genuine interest in understanding the needs of our furbabies. Our cats instantly warmed up to her, such a reassuring sign for us.
During Edita’s stay, she provided clear communication and sent lots of photos, which we really appreciated. As our cats are strictly indoors, she took every precaution to ensure they remained safely inside while we were away for the night.
Edita also left our house clean and tidy. We are truly so thankful for the care and time she gave our cats and our home. "

"Absolutely thrilled with the exceptional care Malika provided for our furry family members, Nico, Billie, and Jinni, during our absence of just over three weeks. From the onset, Malika demonstrated an impressive level of professionalism and genuine affection for our pets and it was very obvious from the outset that she had experience with high energy dogs.
Nico has some specific needs due to his skin allergies, and Malika managed his condition with remarkable diligence. Billie, our usually anxious and nervous little ball of fur, was noticeably calmer and more relaxed upon our return. Malika's gentle and patient approach clearly made a positive impact on her. In fact, I highly suspect both our dogs are somewhat missing her!
Our aged guinea pig, Jinni, was also in great hands. Thank you, Malika, for not overlooking her and ensuring she received the special care and attention she needed.
It wasn't just the pets that were well cared for; our home was left spotless. We returned to find our house in immaculate condition, which showed Malika's respect and thoughtfulness.
In terms of value for money, Malika’s services are worth every penny. Her meticulous care and thoughtful attention ensure that every aspect of pet and home care is covered. We genuinely felt that our pets were not just looked after, but truly loved during our absence.
Malika also maintained excellent communication throughout the entire period. Regular updates and photos kept us connected to our pets and reassured us that they were safe and happy.
Overall, I cannot recommend Malika highly enough. Her dedication to the well-being of Nico, Billie, and Jinni was exemplary. The care and attention she provided went above and beyond our expectations. If you're looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet sitter who delivers incredible value for money, Malika is absolutely the best choice. We will certainly be booking her services again in the future! Thank you, Malika, for everything you did to keep our pets and home safe and happy.

"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.

"Aneesha was wonderful!
Great communication with lots of pics, she dealt with keeping our cats and dog seperate, an excited barking dog during a thunderstorm and even won over our really skittish cat!
We came home to a clean house and happy relaxed pets. ☺️"

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.
