"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."

"Otis and Cairo stayed with Ciaran and Sinead for 4 nights. Throughout the entire process from the initial meet and greet to picking the boys up, Ciaran and Sinead made everything so seamless. We could tell our dogs were very well cared for and for that I am truly grateful. Unfortunately we didn’t get the chance to meet Sinead as she was travelling, but Ciaran was extremely polite, professional and attentive. We highly recommend them and will certainly be booking again."

They showed genuine love and care for my dog Duke. Natia was friendly, very quick with communications and she sent photos and updates throughout the booking. Duke was well looked after.

"We had a great experience with our dog sitter, Mackenzie! She looked after our dog, Popcorn, and did an amazing job. Mackenzie was very caring and responsible, and what we really appreciated was that she sent us updates every day. It gave us peace of mind knowing that Popcorn was happy and well taken care of while we were away.
You can tell she genuinely loves animals, and Popcorn was comfortable with her right away. We highly recommend Mackenzie to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog sitter. Thank you again for taking such good care of Popcorn!"

"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 went out of town for several days to attend a festival a few hours away, and this was our first time ever using a dog sitter for Seelie, our 3-year-old medium spitz mix.
From the very beginning, Sara and Mike were kind, caring, and incredibly responsive, with clear and prompt communication that immediately put us at ease.
It was obvious that they pet sit for all the right reasons and have a genuine love of dogs. We went to their place for a meet and greet and immediately felt relieved that they were happy to understand Seelie’s personality and her unique needs, and were even happy to learn her commands and tricks so they could engage with and communicate with her.
The absolute best part was that they gave us so much peace of mind. We weren’t worried for even a moment because they sent so many adorable photos and videos that clearly showed Seelie was happy, well-adjusted, and truly enjoying her time with them. It was clear that they loved and enjoyed her, too!
We feel incredibly grateful to have found such thoughtful, attentive, and trustworthy pet sitters, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book them again or recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog."

"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 couldn't be more grateful for the amazing care Romi provided for our dog Capri while we were on holiday for a month. Capri can be quite particular and we were very nervous leaving Capri, but Romi quickly made her feel comfortable and at ease. Romi provided daily updates including photos and videos which always put a big smile on our face. When we returned Capri was happy, healthy, and it was obvious to us she had been well loved and taken care of. I highly recommend Romi to anyone looking for a caring and responsible dog sitter. Thanks you so much Romi."

"We cannot thank Dharsh enough for taking such wonderful care of our puppy. This was our first experience booking a pet sitter while we were away fo a couple of days, and our puppy had an amazing time based on the photos and videos she regularly shared with us. Dharsh was excellent at keeping us updated and making us feel at ease. Her experience with dogs was evident, as she possesses a calm demeanour and a genuine caring nature. We will undoubtedly book her again in the future. We are thrilled to have found a pet sitter who perfectly meets our needs."
