"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.

"Ellaine was really clear and prompt with her communication. She was respectful of our house and left it clean and tidy. She worked hard to win over our more sceptical cat and managed to keep him medicated and both cats well fed. We came back to them looking happy and healthy. "

"Joanna is an amazing pet sitter, my two boys are cute but could be sometimes difficult and she dealt with them perfectly well, actually in my return I found them happy and more chill than normally they are, also she left the house in perfect condition. She is simply amazing. "

"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.

"Nat and Arlo were fantastic pet and house sitters. The house was spotless when we returned, and our dog was clearly very well cared for and happy. Our dog is usually quite nervous and not used to other people, but warmed up to them really well, which says a lot. We felt completely at ease knowing everything was in such good hands and would love to have them back. Highly recommend."

"We had the pleasure of having Catherine & Athen house sit for us and care for our dog Taco over Labour Weekend, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Everything ran seamlessly — the house was well cared for, and Taco was clearly relaxed and happy on our return.
Taco can be anxious around fireworks, and with Labour Weekend often bringing unexpected noise, we were especially grateful for the calm, reassuring environment they provided. It’s clear they’re experienced, compassionate, and genuinely attentive to pets’ individual needs.
Communication was smooth and thoughtful throughout, and we returned to a home that felt peaceful and well looked after. We’d welcome them back anytime and highly recommend them to anyone seeking reliable, caring pet/house sitters. Thanks so much
