What is the best dog sitting service for my pooch?
Sitters to suit your dog and budget
Pawshake has a dog sitting service for every unique pooch
Some dogs find travel stressful and prefer in-home dog care or drop in visits. In-home dog care also helps to avoid coughs and other illnesses that can spread in busy kennel facilities.
Many dogs love the company of other dogs, while others are shy and prefer to stay alone with a dog sitter. You can choose whether you want your pet to stay with other furry friends or not.
If you require puppy sitting, or need senior dog care, a dog sitter can come to your place for personalised in-home dog care.
Alternatively, your dog can enjoy a fun holiday from home in a warm family environment while you are renovating or moving house.
Your best friend will never be lonely again!
