Best care and full attention!8.8 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."

"Having never had a pet sitter before I was nervous to leave my dog with a stranger. Upon meeting Bee my mind was put to ease. My dog was instantly calm in her presence. Bee was genuinely interested in how to cater to her needs. I loved the frequent updates and pictures. I returned to a very clean home and a happy, relaxed dog."

"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!"

"We're new pet parents and this was our first time having a pet sitter for our pup Juno. Steph made the whole process so easy for us, from start to finish. Juno was in love with her from the moment she walked in through the door, and had the best time with her!
She's quick to get back to you and gives you cute updates throughout the stay. She even went over and beyond to accomodate our last minute requests and changes. Thanks Steph! "
