Lives with 3 cats
"We have 3 cats, and they all have extremely different needs and totally different personalities. We had previously had the same pet sitter for over 10 years and this was our first experience of using Pawshake.
We couldn't be happier with Mira. She came to our home prior to the stay to go over the many requirements we had for each cat and just to meet us in general, as I was extremely apprehensive about a new pet sitter that our cats did not know.
One of my cats has extreme anxiety when new people come into our home and she was very accommodating to his needs. I was also worried about them being inside cats and the possibility of them getting out. Mira completely understood this was a major priority for us and was very conscious of ensuring they were kept safe.
Mira sent us photos and updates every day, and after a couple of days of being away my apprehension disappeared and I knew we had made the right choice. They were clearly relaxed and happy. My youngest cat in particular took a real shine to Mira and was besotted with her.
I cannot recommend Mira more highly, she absolutely deserves the 5 stars we have given her. She clearly has an affinity with cats. We will definitely have her come again.
Thanks Mira for being so patient, caring and accommodating to 3 very different cats, all with varying needs. "

"Above and beyond care of the needs of all pets and careful consideration for providing updates to me daily with lovely photos of each pet and house/ garden.
This was a more complex pet sit with a Cockatoo transitioning into family life.
I don’t think many pet sitters could provide the maturity and sensitivity to the unique requirements that Jean brought with her experience. Jean was extremely thoughtful in how she managed our Cockatoo whilst also caring for our beloved Kitty cat, chickens and Axolotyl.
If I could rate higher I would. Highly recommend and consider myself very lucky to have Jean look after our house and pets. Huge thank you!! "

Best care and full attention!5.5 km

"I am a rescue foster carer and have 5 rescue Tibetan Spaniels and 1 rescue kitty. Four of the dogs are very traumatised due to their lengthy past of living in cages and without any human interaction, except for in a negative way. Due to this and understanding the challenges of babysitting them, I have not left them before. So, I had much anxiety about leaving them and really not that comfortable with someone coming into my home...but I needed a house-sitter.
I found Mariya after another babysitter on another Pet-sitting site let me down at the Meet and Greet stage (better this than during the house-sit which has happened to me before and also to a friend).
Mariya was (is) amazing. She is a caring, thoughtful, considerate, intelligent, capable and solution-orientated person.
Four of the dogs were manageable with Mariya providing some additional approaches in their best interests, yet all time consuming for her. However, one dog was beyond a challenge. Mariya worked with me (me remotely) for an appropriate approach that supported the dog and and also worked for the others. This really reassured me - both her frankness and the way she eagerly wanted to work through a solution. She was amazing! Another house-sitter would have given up.
I am vegan and have allergies. So, she decided without discussion to bring her own crockery, cutlery, cookware, sheets, towels so as not to contaminate anything of mine. Wow! I've never experienced such care and compassion. It definitely wasn't my expectation for her to do this.
I came home to a clean house, as clean as I left it and I'm a clean freak. I also came home to very happy babies. It was wonderful and reassuring.
OK - only negative... my kitty and one of the dogs have issued me with their Vacate Notices. They've decided to shift in with Mariya!! She was that loved by them and by all (and this was evident in the photos, clips she updated me with regularly).
I am unsure if Pawshake allow this, but would be happy for anyone considering Mariya to contact me for more information.
I feel I have not only found an amazing house-sitter, but also found a new wonderful friend.
Thank you Mariya from all of us in The Unit of Love!

"Ellie did a great job looking after Rodolph. She asked all the right questions beforehand and made him feel comfortable and relaxed from the get go, which was great as he can be a bit anxious around new people. Rodolph is a Lab so he's not exactly a small dog and can be a bit harder to manage at times, but Ellie handled him really well.
We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a clean, tidy house We'd happily have her look after Rodolph again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter."

"Maddy was fantastic. Her communication was excellent and our Labradoodle was very happy spending time with her. Maddy left our house in fantastic condition and even washed and dried the linen she used during her stay. We would thoroughly recommend Maddy and we will definitely engage her for future dog sitting requirements. "

"Kate was wonderful. Came to meet my cats before my trip and you can see she is just wonderful with animals.
Kate kept in touch with me during my time away and was also able to deal with a bit of hiccup like a pro. Would definitely have Kate take care of my cats again."

"We would have Jessica back in a heartbeat! We met before the sit, and immediately I felt she would take care of our pets as though they were her own. Small tasks I asked to be done were done with eagerness and pleasure!
We received twice daily photos and videos and notes about how things were going which made our time away from home so much more relaxing knowing all was well with the fur-babies.
Can't recommend her more highly."

"Hoda is a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of our furry pets. From the start off, when we first met her we got an excellent first impression, that leaving our pets with her will have no concerns at all. She is very friendly and kind and was great with our pets and was always sending photos every evening to us. When we came home after a week away, our pets were relaxed and happy. Thank you Hoda for looking after our pets and we would definitely be in contact next time if we are going away again."
