I recently had the pleasure of hiring Elisa and Aleks to take care of my birds, and I couldn't be more thrilled with their outstanding service. From the outset, their professionalism and genuine love for animals were immediately apparent, putting my mind at ease. Elisa and Aleks visited our home every three days to feed and care for our birds, and their dedication was evident in every visit. They took the time to understand the specific needs of each bird, ensuring they received the proper care and attention. Their meticulous approach and attention to detail were truly commendable. One of the highlights of their service was the regular updates I received. Elisa and Aleks provided detailed reports and photos during each visit, allowing me to see firsthand how happy and well-cared-for my birds were in my absence. This level of communication was incredibly reassuring and demonstrated their commitment to providing exceptional care. Their reliability and punctuality were also impressive. Knowing that my birds were in such capable hands allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away without any worries. Upon my return, my birds were healthy, content, and clearly well-looked-after. What truly sets Elisa and Aleks apart is their kindness and genuine affection for the animals they care for. My birds responded positively to their gentle and caring approach, which speaks volumes about their expertise and passion for pet sitting. I wholeheartedly recommend Elisa and Aleks to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and professional pet-sitting service. Their exceptional care and dedication have earned my gratitude, and I will definitely be using their services again in the future. Thank you, Elisa and Aleks, for providing such wonderful care for my birds and ensuring their happiness and well-being!

We are absolutely thrilled to have found Olga as our pet sitter! She visited our house once a day to take care of our cat, and we couldn't be happier with the care she provided. Olga went above and beyond, sending us plenty of photos and videos to keep us updated, which was so reassuring. She took excellent care of our cat—feeding, playing, cleaning, and even watering our plants! I am now completely relaxed for future trips because we’ve finally found someone we can trust to take care of everything perfectly. We highly recommend Olga to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!

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.
