Xiomara is an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. Can't express how grateful we are for the exceptional care she provided to our cat. Xiomara kept us updated with pictures, videos and messages wich gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Our cat is usually shy and reserved but the special connection with Xiomara was an achievement ! She is very responsible and she has a big affection and passion for what she does. We'll definitely trust her again and would highly recommend her service. She did a great job coming at home twice a day and taking care of our cat while we were going in holidays

We highly recommend Svetlana as a pet sitter. We have 2 indoor cats - one of which is very shy and scares easy. Svetlana is so good with them both, sending us pictures on every visit of her petting and playing with the cats. We have used her services twice now. Lovely person to deal with. Great communication and very professional. We feel much better getting Svetlana to look after our two little ladies than a family member or friend. We can rest assured that they are fed and entertained for a very reasonable price. Thanks Svetlana 10/10.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your pet sitting questions answered

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.

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.

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.

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.
