"Lacey came for two visits per day for 10 days to my two female cats. The cats have distinct personalities, they don't get along, or they're dysfunctional... and Lacey catered for their complex needs:
One, 'scaredy cat' hisses, growls at us and potentially scratches when she is stressed- Lacey managed to gain her trust and was playing with her within a week.
The other, is overweight and in need of cuddles.. Lacey was extra playful, running her around. And had her on lap with cuddles too.
Lacey has an exceptional ability to read the cats and know ways to gain trust. I have returned with cats happier than when I left!
When leaving pets alone, it's so nice to receive pictures of the cats alongside update notes, I was hanging on every word- for me it was good to have another person's insight into my cat's issues
Thank you so much Lacey!"

"Adeline showed great care in looking after my cat - she dedicated extra time so that my cat could feel more comfortable. Adeline is also super communicative and provided daily updates and photos. I would highly recommend Adeline for all your pet sitter needs and will definitely be booking her again!"

"I have booked Jason a few times to look after my cat. Being a cat sitter myself, I am very picky! But Jason has always done a great job with my cat and I appreciate the photos he sends each day so that I can see that my cat is happy and well looked after. I also appreciate that Jason takes time to play with him and pet him, as he does get very lonely otherwise. My cat has come to really like Jason!"

"Daria was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We left our cat at home, under Daria's care, whilst travelling interstate over Christmas. Daria was courteous, flexible and professional. Any messages or queries sent over pawshake would be answered in a prompt manner. We returned home to be greeted by a very happy and content cat.
Impressed. Hoping Daria will be available for my next holiday. 🙏 "

Communication was easy and Lewis was responsive and reliable. He made sure Leo got plenty of exercise and attention. Leo was in good hands for both his walks and feeding.
Thanks Lewis!"

"Belinda is an absolutely fantastic pet sitter and a truly empathetic, understanding person. I've had trouble finding a pet sitter that I can comfortably leave my very complicated Aus Shepherd (reactive & resource guarding), but Belinda welcomed the challenge and exceeded my expectations - even when things didn't go exactly as we planned.
Her skill, awareness, and passion for animal welfare & behaviour are incredible, and I can't recommend her more highly enough to look after every cat & dog from the easy to the very complex!"

"Katherine honoured the idiosyncrasies of our two scaredy cats such that the bravest of the two was sitting in her lap after only a few days. And the really scaredy scaredy cat was not traumatised when we returned!! That’s a win. We loved the photos she sent daily and hope she can be our cat sitter next time we have to leave the cats at home. They are seriously not transportable. "

"Stacey is such a life saver. Our cats are not easiest cats to care for, Stacey was always available, went above and beyond to attend to their needs, including last minute request to help with medical needs for Lilan. Even Binx who is a super shy cat ended up a purring machine near Stacey.
Stacey, we can’t thank you enough for your care of the last 3 weeks! Definitely will ask your help again next time"

"Steph was great with my cat!
Communication is key when someone is looking after your pet, and Steph kept me consistently updated on everything, from the times she visited, to the temperature of the house (it was a little hot on some days), to how my cat was doing.
She also made sure to leave food and keep the litter clean and tidy, which isn't always the case with other sitters.
I highly recommend Steph!

"I was a first time user of Pawshake and didn’t know what to expect. To be honest I was a little nervous about using the service. I found Nicole quickly and was very impressed by her multiple 5 star reviews so reached out. To say I’ve been left impressed is a vast understatement - Nicole is an excellent communicator and took such great care of our two cats (one of which is a little high maintenance and needs a tablet and an eye drop each day). She also provided daily updates with pictures.
Leaving your pets in their own home while their owners are away is so much better than leaving them in a cattery / cat hotel, and when they receive the level of care that Nicole provides, you’ll return to them being relaxed and well looked after.
Highly recommended and would love to engage her services again! "
