I highly recommend Kerem as a cat sitter! He was very kind, trustworthy and he took excellent care of my cat. He made sure she was happy, played with her and spent time with her while I was out of town so she didn’t feel lonely! My cat was very well cared for. I booked Kerem as a cat sitter twice and I will definitely do again in future.

I cannot recommend Jhosselyne highly enough! She went above and beyond everything she promised in her description and then some. Not only did she take exceptional care of my dog, keeping him happy, entertained, and maintaining his routine, but she also spent extra time playing with him, ensuring he got the love and attention he needed. When my dog unfortunately got sick while I was away, Jhosselyne handled the situation with such care and attention, going out of her way to make sure he was comfortable and safe. One thing I especially appreciated were the regular updates with lots of pictures. It was so reassuring to see my dog happy and well-cared for even while I was away. I am immensely grateful for her kindness and professionalism. She’s someone I trust completely with my pet, and I am so lucky to have found her. Jhosselyne is truly a compassionate, reliable, and caring pet sitter.

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.
