"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!"

"Kate was a great sitter for our two pups that can be a handful if you're not aware of dog behaviours. She was professional and tactful with the dogs when we had our first meet & greet. I've had other dog sitters let the dogs jump all over them. I've got a Staffy and a Kelpie cross...not breeds that you should let jump all over you! She also did a wonderful job caring for the house. Kate is trustworthy, and I'd recommend her for your dog sitting needs."

"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."

"I cannot recommend Amy highly enough. She took care of my home and fur babies with the utmost professionalism, care, and attention to detail.
From the moment I entrusted Amy with the responsibility, I felt at ease knowing that my pets were in good hands. Not only Amy follow all of my instructions I left, but she also went above and beyond to ensure that my pets felt loved and comfortable in my absence.
Additionally, Amy kept me updated with regular photos and messages, providing me with peace of mind while I was away. It was evident that she genuinely cared for my pets' well-being and happiness.
Upon my return, I found my home in impeccable condition, and my pets were as happy and healthy as ever. I am incredibly grateful for Amy’s exceptional service and will definitely be reaching out to her for future pet sitting needs.
If you're looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring individual to take care of your pets, look no further than Amy. Thank you once again for your outstanding service!"

"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. "

"Daniela was amazing, from the start she was professional, friendly, clean, tidy & most of all she really looked after my dog while I was away & he was so happy when I returned. She stayed in my house for 6 days, sent me photos every day & took my dog to the park more than I do. I would highly recommend her & she is just a pleasure to deal with. She can look after my dog & house sit anytime she likes. thanks again Daniela. Pluto is missing you 😍"

"A big thanks to Gabi. This was the first time we have used a dog sitter from Pawshake. I can highly recommend Gabi. She was a great communicator and I was kept up to date on how our two dogs were during our 4 week holiday. One of our dogs has a complicated medication regime and Gabi tended to him with care and conscientiousness. It was also extremely hot while Gabi was house-sitting and she made sure our dogs stayed cool during the extreme weather. Gabi also impressed as an open, honest and friendly person. I am very grateful for Gabi for looking after our dogs so well."

"We had an excellent first time experience with Colleen. Colleen house sat our 2 cats whilst we were away. One cat very anxious and unsure of strangers, but everything was great.
We felt very comfortable when we first met, and made leaving our cats with her, knowing they were going to be in safe hands. She did not disappoint and even messaged us to stay up to date.
She is reliable, trustworthy and responsive. Without hesitation, we would highly recommend Colleen. We will certainly have Colleen again next time.
Thank you so much Colleen, you are a STAR! Judy & Herb"
