We had an amazing experience with Sankalpa and Archana as our pet sitters for our two dogs. They provided feeding, walks, playtime, and overall care for an entire month, and we couldn’t be happier with their service. 😄 Sankalpa and Archana were incredibly caring and treated our dogs as if they were part of their own family. In every photo and video they shared, our dogs looked not only comfortable but also genuinely happy and playful—even interacting warmly with their own dogs. Communication was fantastic throughout. They sent us daily updates with photos or videos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were in the best hands. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a responsible and attentive pet sitter. We’ll definitely be going back to them for future occasions!

I am very satisfied with Monica and I would highly recommend her for dog boarding. I needed a last minute sitter for my dog Lila and I contacted Monica just one day before my trip. She replied very quickly, communication was smooth and friendly and it was easy to arrange the details. I just dropped off Lila at Monica's house, gave her brief "instructions" and didn't have to worry until I got back. She seemed trustworthy and experienced with dogs, so in the week I was away I texted her only once just to check in (though Monica offered to send daily reports 😊). In summary, Monica is very friendly, experienced with dogs, trustworthy and quick to reply, and I plan to contact her again for dog boarding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your dog boarding questions answered

With home dog boarding, your dog stays overnight at a sitter’s home. Instead of being in a crowded dog kennel or dog hotel, your dog can be in a comfortable home and receive the same quality level of love and care you would provide.

Your dog will be staying at the sitter's home. Be sure to discuss any requirements with your sitter prior to booking. The more your sitter knows about your pet, the better! That way they can really ensure that your pet has the best and most comfortable stay.

Pawshake only accepts sitters who have experience and/or qualifications caring for pets. You will get to search, choose and have a free meet and greet with your sitter prior to making a booking.

Visit the sitter's profile and read about their background, home and experience.Then request a free meet and greet. If you are happy with the sitter’s dog boarding environment and how well they bond with your dog, confirm your booking on Pawshake.
