Frequently asked questions about dog sitting
Your dog sitting questions answered
Which dog sitting option is right for my dog?
At Pawshake you can choose a range of dog sitting options to suit your dog. For new puppies, shy or more senior dogs, a home visit or house sitting option might be the best option and will ensure they are comfortable. For dogs that need more exercise or are more outgoing, booking a dog walk, doggy daycare or overnight boarding at a pet sitter's home may be the better choice.
Leave your pets with peace of mind. With sitters qualified and experienced in dog training, vet nursing, rescue pets and general pet care, you’ll be sure to find a sitter that is perfect for you, and will love your pet just like family.
Will my dog be insured while in the sitter’s care?
Yes, when you make a booking on Pawshake your dog will be covered by The Pawshake Guarantee. This covers medical emergencies and veterinary care for your dog while in the pet sitter’s care. Plus your booking is also covered by our happiness guarantee and in house customer support.
