What is a Pawshake pet sitter?
Pawshake pet sitters are experienced and genuine pet lovers from your neighbourhood who, quite simply, adore spending their time caring for animals! The Pawshake community is a perfect place for our pet sitters to offer their high-quality pet care services straight to you and your furry friend.
Pawshake pet sitters have been individually vetted by our dedicated trust and safety team. With sitters qualified and experienced in dog training, vet nursing, rescue pets and general pet care, you’ll be sure to find a sitter that is perfect for you, and will love your pet just like family.
Whatever your pet sitter’s background, you can rest assured that they have joined Pawshake because of their dedication and true love of pets.
What is the difference between Pawshake and other pet sitting business or commercial kennels?
All pet carers on Pawshake are individually vetted by our team of specialists: less than 20% of potential applicants make the cut. All Pawshake pet carers must have a detailed profile with information on their experience, pet care background and authentic reviews.
Our loving pet sitters are 100% dedicated to your cat, dog, rabbit, bird or guinea pig. Delight in daily updates and photos from your pet sitter during the booking period. Plus, our friendly customer support team is online to assist you anytime.
All bookings are covered by The Pawshake Guarantee which includes free veterinary coverage, Happiness Guarantee and Booking Guarantee.

- Go to www.pawshake.com and choose your service

Is Pawshake safe?
Pawshake is a real community of animal lovers, and as such, our pet sitters, pet owners and the people behind Pawshake all want to contribute to a safe and fun platform.
Our dedicated trust and safety team reviews all pet sitter profiles individually and only accept those with the highest quality and who have real experience or qualifications. On each sitter's profile you will see photos, detailed descriptions and reviews left by other pet owners. Pawshake is a community of pet lovers and we rely on honest reviews to make everyone’s experience better. Additionally, a free meet and greet is included as part of your booking so that you and your pet can meet the sitter and get to know them better.
Every booking on Pawshake also includes The Pawshake Guarantee. This includes free veterinary coverage, a Happiness Guarantee and a Booking Guarantee. For added security, your payment is also not released to the sitter until the booking is finished.
Finally, our in house customer service team (who are sitters and owners just like you) are available to help should you need any additional assistance or have any questions.
