Vanessa was an excellent pet sitter for our 2 cats while we were away for 2 1/2 weeks and I would highly recommend her as a caring and professional pet sitter. Knowing that our kitties were in good hands was a great relief and made our time away more restful. Vanessa took the time to get to know each of our cats, administered medications to one of our cats, played and interacted with them, kept their litter clean and kept us regularly up to date with their progress. Knowing that we could fully trust Vanessa was a great relief, and I would not hesitate in recommending her as a pet sitter.

We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Isbah! She took amazing care of our cats—Meow Meow, Romeo, and Sushi—while we were overseas from January 14 to February 2. Knowing that our fur babies were in such loving and responsible hands gave us complete peace of mind. 🧘🏻‍♀️ Isbah came to our home daily to look after them, ensuring they were well-fed, comfortable, and received plenty of love and attention. She kept us updated with messages, photos and videos, which reassured us that they were happy and well cared for. It was clear that she genuinely cared for their well-being, and we returned home to three very content and relaxed cats. 💕 She is incredibly trustworthy, and we truly appreciate her dedication. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter who can care for your pets in the comfort of your own home, we highly recommend Isbah. We’ll definitely be booking her again in the future! 🌟 🐈‍⬛🐈🐈

Your pet sitting questions answered

When you book our pet sitting services, an experienced pet sitter will visit your home and spend some one-on-one time with your pet.

Pet sitting is the perfect option for pets who prefer staying in their own home environment and would like some company during the day. This means your pet gets to enjoy high quality and personalised care that is better than pet hotels.

Pawshake only accepts pet and dog sitters who have experience and/or qualifications caring for pets. You can search, choose and have a free meet and greet with your pet sitter or dog minder prior to making a booking.

Pet sitting is a personalised service where a pet sitter visits your home and spends one on one time with your pet. Pet hotels can be stressful and usually involve your pet sharing their space with other pets and interacting with different staff members each time.
