"I thoroughly recommend Linda for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. She was wonderful with my two pets and clearly took great care to make sure they were comfortable and well looked after.
Throughout the stay, Linda provided regular updates, which gave me real peace of mind knowing everything was going well while I was away. It was clear they were in very good hands.
If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely great with animals, Linda is an excellent choice."

"My cat Fridge had the BEST time with Sophia!
Sophia went above and beyond to make sure my son, Fridge, was happy and well taken care of while I was away. Not only did she handle all the basics perfectly, but she also brought toys for him and spent extra time playing, which was so thoughtful!!
She always sent through frequent updates and pictures/ videos of Fridge – which really put my mind at ease as it was my first time leaving him with a petsitter. I was nervous initially but it was so clear she treated him like her own, and when I picked him up, he was a very happy and relaxed cat!!
Sophia is very reliable, caring, and GENUINELY passionate about animals and I am so glad I found her!! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’ll definitely be calling on her again whenever I need a pet sitter. I HIGHLY recommend her services to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets with love and care!
Thank you again Sophia for all the help and care you’ve given to Fridge ❤️"

"I couldn't be happier with the care Rio received from Kevan and his partner during his 4-day stay! From the very beginning, they were absolutely fantastic. They went the extra mile by arranging a meet-and-greet to introduce Rio to their dog, Kayo, which made me feel so much more comfortable leaving him.
Throughout Rio's stay, they provided constant updates, including a steady stream of photos and videos. I never once had to reach out to them for an update, which meant the world to me. It was clear that Rio was having a great time, as they took him on multiple walks near parks and lakes, and they were incredibly attentive to his food schedule, giving us regular updates on his meals.
Kevan and his partner are incredibly easygoing and responsive, making the entire process seamless. The care they showed for Rio was truly exceptional; they treated him like a member of their own family. It was because of their genuine care and attention that I was able to thoroughly enjoy my vacation without a single worry about my pup. I feel so lucky to have found them on Pawshake and would absolutely book with them again. Thank you both so much for providing such a comforting and wonderful home for Rio!"

"I recently hired Kaycee to care for my beloved Australian Cattle Dog, Solar, for an extended period of five days, and I cannot praise her enough for the outstanding care she provided. From the moment I entrusted Solar to her, I knew I had made the right choice. Kaycee’s professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction, making this an incredibly positive experience for both Solar and me.
Kaycee is the epitome of understanding, loving, and reliable. She took the time to learn about Solar’s unique personality, preferences, and needs, ensuring that my pup felt comfortable and cherished. As a cattle dog, Solar is bursting with energy and requires significant physical activity to stay happy and healthy. Kaycee went above and beyond, taking Solar out for hours each day for vigorous walks, runs, and playtime. These outings were tailored to Solar’s high-energy nature, and I could tell from the photos and videos Kaycee shared that Solar was thriving under her care.
One of the standout aspects of Kaycee’s service was her commitment to communication. She provided multiple daily updates, including detailed messages, photos, and even short video clips of Solar’s adventures. These updates were a lifeline for me while I was away, as they reassured me that Solar was not only safe but also having the time of her life. Whether it was a snapshot of Solar bounding through a park or a clip of her happily chasing a ball, Kaycee’s thoughtfulness put my heart at ease and allowed me to enjoy my time away without worry.
Kaycee’s passion for dog care is evident in every aspect of her work. She doesn’t just go through the motions; she invests herself fully in ensuring the dogs in her care are happy, healthy, and engaged. Her attention to detail, from ensuring Solar’s diet was followed to providing mental stimulation through games and interaction, demonstrated a level of dedication that is truly rare. She treated Solar as if she were her own, and that level of care is something every pet owner hopes for in a dog sitter.
Beyond her skills and reliability, Kaycee’s warmth and approachability made the entire process seamless. She was flexible when I needed to extend the booking, responsive to my questions, and genuinely invested in making sure both Solar and I were satisfied. Her love for animals is infectious, and it’s clear that dog sitting is not just a job for her, it’s a calling.
If you’re searching for someone to care for your dog, I wholeheartedly recommend Kaycee. She is a gem in the world of pet care, and I can say with 100% confidence that she will provide your furry friend with the love, attention, and exercise they need to thrive. Solar and I are already looking forward to her next visit with Kaycee!"

"We had our girl Xiaodou cared by Sam for 20 days during our holidays. We are very happy & satisfied with the level of service and care she provided. She followed our daily routine, given lots and cuddles and great care to our girl Xiaodou. We received daily update from her regularly. That has given us a peace of mind while we were away. Sam is not only fulfilled the task as a pet sitter, she is 100% an animal lover. She and her partner Michael have given our girl plenty of play time, attention, great company and plenty of pampering during her stay with them.
We were indeed very lucky to find her on Pawshake, she wasn’t just a pet sitter, she’s done more than 100% for our girl. From the way Sam cared and looked after our girl has made us trusted her very much. We had a few bad experiences while looking for a suitable dog sitter online in the past. We even had a couple of bad ones during meet & greet time. Sam certainly isn’t like anyone of those ones we met in the past. She is very kind hearted, genuine loving and caring & dedicated of course a very responsible person 😊. I highly recommend Sam to anyone 👍 .

"We cannot recommend Mikaela highly enough. She is an amazing, kind-hearted dog sitter who treated our fur baby as if he were her own. He was taken on multiple walks each day and enjoyed so many wonderful outings—it truly felt like a holiday for him!
Mikaela’s daily communication and photo updates were so appreciated and really put us at ease. Both Mikaela and her partner took the time to understand our dog’s needs before caring for him and genuinely catered to his personality, which meant so much to us.
We are very picky about who looks after our fur baby, and we honestly could not have felt more comfortable or relaxed. Knowing he was so well cared for and loved allowed us to fully enjoy our time away. By the end, we were half worried he wouldn’t want to come home!
Thank you, Mikaela, for taking such incredible care of our little guy. We are so grateful. 🐾
