We were fortunate to find Holly as our pet sitter and cannot recommend their services highly enough! Leaving our beloved furry family member in someone else's care can be nerve-wracking, but Holly immediately put our worries to rest. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals were evident from the start. During our absence, Holly provided exceptional care to our pet. Daily updates and photos reassured us that our pets were in good hands. Moreover, Holly's reliability and communication skills were exceptional. She was always prompt in responding to any inquiries and flexible with scheduling. We're incredibly grateful for Holly's dedication and care and wouldn't hesitate to entrust our pet's care to them again in the future. Thank you, Holly for your exceptional service and genuine love for animals!

Rosalie is an excellent pet sitter and I would recommend her to anyone. This was my first time leaving my cat at home for an extended period of time, and I was nervous, but after meeting Rosalie for the first time I felt like my cat Millie was in safe hands. Rosalie visited 2 times per day for 30 minutes each visit. Each time she visited she sent me a message or a photo, sometimes both! I loved receiving these. My cat has medicine once per day and Rosalie administered this with no issues. Getting a pet sitter is more expensive than a cattery, but the stress that it saved both me and my cat was 1000% worth it. Thank you so much Rosalie for allowing me to enjoy my holiday without worrying about Millie!

Frequently asked questions

Your pet sitting questions answered

What does pet sitting include?

When you book our pet sitting services, an experienced pet sitter will visit your home and spend some one-on-one time with your pet.

Who will be caring for my pet during the pet sitting booking?

Pawshake only accepts pet and dog sitters who have experience and/or qualifications caring for pets. You can search, choose and have a free meet and greet with your pet sitter or dog minder prior to making a booking.

Is pet sitting the right option for my pet?

Pet sitting is the perfect option for pets who prefer staying in their own home environment and would like some company during the day. This means your pet gets to enjoy high quality and personalised care that is better than pet hotels.

What is the difference between pet sitting and pet hotels?

Pet sitting is a personalised service where a pet sitter visits your home and spends one on one time with your pet. Pet hotels can be stressful and usually involve your pet sharing their space with other pets and interacting with different staff members each time.
