"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!

"Hannah was fantastic. She handles our four crazy fur-babies with ease and even vacuumed (which was a lovely surprise). Hannah was always happy, smiling and easy going. I will be looking to get Hannah back next time we need a pet sitter. I highly recommend 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."

"Our initial meet and greet with Rajdeep went really well with both our dogs being comfortable when introduced. I had no hesitation in entrusting him with their care and looking after our home also. On our return, well looked after and happy dogs as was our home. Receiving photos and communication while we were away was great. A trusted and caring pet sitter and we'd highly recommend Rajdeep to care for your pets too."AReview by Alessandra

"Kirsty was incredible and looked after our precious greyhound just like her own pet! Anyone who knows greyhounds knows they can have really tricky behaviours and Kirsty managed them so well. Her communication was fantastic and she left the house absolutely spotless. She made the whole process so easy and effortless. I would definitely recommend Kirsty to anyone looking for a loving and conscientious dog sitter!"

"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. "
