"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!

"Abby did an amazing job looking after my 3 working dogs over the past few days, who can be a handful sometimes.
One of my pets was recovering from leg surgery and Abby looked after her and administered daily medication.
Abby was attentive, courteous, and left my house looking spick and span.
Abby comes highly recommended, and I will be happy requesting her services again in the future."

"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."

"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. "

"Lara and Nahuel were great house and pet sitters for my little toy poodle and I would highly recommend them.
They were responsive and accomodating from the beginning, coming over to the house for an introduction and then another time to pick up the keys. They also were able to stay at my place until I was sure my plane had landed safely to return home. It was the first time I’ve left my dog for so long and they doted over him and made sure he was happy. My dog has anxiety and they made sure to give him lots of cuddles. They sent me updates throughout my trip which put my mind at ease. They are a lovely couple and left the house nice and clean and tidy with bedding washed. Thank you Lara and Nahuel for allowing me to enjoy my holiday without having to worry. "

"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."
