I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dogs in the care of Ednadine, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and is highly skilled in caring for them. Ednadine went above and beyond to ensure my dogs were happy and healthy. She provided regular updates, including photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Her attention to detail and dedication to their well-being were evident in every interaction. My dogs absolutely adored her and were always excited to see her. Ednadine’s reliability, kindness, and professionalism make her the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Ednadine, for your exceptional service!

Evellyn was the perfect cat sitter! 🤗 Evellyn came to meet the cats beforehand as my cats are quite shy and tend to hide when they see someone new. However, Evellyn was really understanding of this and took her time to get to know the cats as well as respected the cats boundaries which was awesome as they came to trust her and we're happy for a tummy rub! 😁 Evellyn stayed in touch all the time I was away and sent photo updates which were so lovely to see. I cannot recommend Evellyn enough, she really was awesome and the perfect cat sitter! I will be sure to reach out to Evellyn in the future 🤗

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.
