Danilo is an excellent dog walker who has been providing exceptional care for my dog during their walks. He is reliable, punctual, and always ensures that my dog gets the exercise and attention they need. Danilo's love for animals is evident in the way he interacts with my dog, and I appreciate the peace of mind knowing that my pet is in good hands. I highly recommend Danilo to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring dog walker.

I'm so thankful for Karen as Pearl's cat sitter! Leaving my fur baby in her care used to worry me, but since I found Karen, those concerns are gone. Karen is a true cat whisperer. She not only cares for Pearl but showers her with love and attention. She follows instructions meticulously, keeps everything clean, and sends daily updates and adorable photos. Knowing that Karen is taking care of Pearl lets me enjoy my time away without worry. I highly recommend Karen to anyone in need of a cat sitter who exceeds expectations. Pearl adores her, and so do I. Thank you, Karen, for your exceptional care!

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.
