"Mel is a lovely person and me and my dog Smokey adored her from day dot. Mel looked after Smokey in his home for quite an extended period of time(2weeks) and when I returned home he seemed very well cared for and even seems to miss Mel a bit. Mel made the effort to meet up with us on a number of occasions before I went away so as Smokey could become familiar with her, she walked him, made sure he was fed and kept him company. I was nervous about getting a sitter but Mel was great and I would definitely recommend Mel to anyone needing a sitter. "

"Gabby was easy to communicate with and very friendly from start to finish. We were very comfortable leaving her in charge of our house and 6yo Greyhound for 17 nights when we went on holidays. Gabby sent regular messages and photos which showed that our dog was in good hands and comfortable with his dog sitter. When we arrived home both house and dog were in perfect condition. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gabby's services to my friends and family. "

"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!

"Angela looked after our chooks and two dogs over Easter, and was fantastic. She texted photos each day, fed one of the dogs their medicine twice daily, asked questions when unsure, and the house was spotless when we returned. Would definitely have Angela take care of our pets again. Thanks!"

"Midori house and dog sat for us and I couldn’t be happier with the service she provided. She was great with my dog who took to her straight away. She was very contentious sending photos/updates everyday and asking questions to check on my dogs habits and that everything was fine. The house was pristine when we got home. Would definitely recommend her as a very reliable dog sitter. "

"I could not have been happier with Mara. From the moment we met I felt completely comfortable with Mara and was happy going away leaving my two fur babies in her care. She was always polite, communication was always prompt and she kept me updated with photos and videos. My cats were in great hands. My home was left spotless. I will certainly utilise her services again next time I am going away. I couldn’t recommend her more highly."

"An obvious cat lover who did a great job looking after our two fussy cats for ten days. They are normally quite shy around strangers but I came home to find them calm, happy and well fed. I highly recommend Lucas and would be happy to have him back any time."

"Camila took very good care of our two cats while we were away. It is the first time we've left them for longer than the weekend so we were quite worried, but Camila definitely has helped eleviate that. Camila took very good care of the house, and would send us pictures of the boys. Thank you for taking care of Cookie and Moppet, I would definitely recommend Camila to take care of your pets while you are away."

"It’s always going to be a bit nerve wracking leaving your house and fur babies to someone else, but Char was amazing! Lots of photos and updates and we came home to a happy dog and cats. House was clean and tidy also and fresh sheets were on the bed.
Definitely recommend Char for house sitting. Thanks!"

"We had Lily stay at our house and look after our dog for 12 nights. Lily was amazing. Our dog took to her immediately and it was obvious from the daily updates that he was very relaxed and happy being looked after by her. Lily was very accomodating to our and our dogs needs. She also managed to train our dog to go through the dog door which we had been trying to do for months! The house was also very well looked after and spotless when we got home. We will definitely book her again. "
