KMy parents used to help me take care of my dog, Nori, whenever I travel, but I wanted to start looking for alternatives as I didn’t want to inconvenience them as they are getting older. I preferred a home-based pet sitter who would be around 24/7, instead of putting Nori at a boarding facility which will probably leave the dogs confined within a space for most of the time and left alone at night (Nori has separation anxiety). I was worried for Nori as I haven’t engaged someone external to look after him before, but seeing how happy Nori was in Sandra’s frequent updates completely put me at ease. Sandra was meticulous in keeping up with his meals instructions which include some supplements and medication, and also helped shower him weekly and walked him twice a day. She has a big comfy bed for him and endless toys! She also generously offered him dental chews at her own expense. Sandra’s parents are dog lovers too and their interactions with Nori always puts a smile on my face ☺️ Sandra and her parents made internal arrangements so there would always be someone home with Nori which I very much appreciate! I would engage Sandra’s help again (if she is available!) for future travels and would recommend her if you are in the process of shortlisting a pet sitter. Thank you, Sandra!

SThis was my first booking with Pawshake, and I’m so glad we found Jes through the platform. We met a couple of pet sitters before deciding on her, and as this was the first time we left our dog for a longer period, we were naturally a little concerned about whether she would be well taken care of.
The reason we chose Jes was her ability to set clear boundaries and provide gentle discipline without being too harsh. Throughout the 10 days, she consistently sent us updates, which gave us great peace of mind that our dog was in good hands. From the photos she shared, it was clear how happy our dog was — smiling, relaxed, and happily posing for the camera.
Knowing our dog’s friendly nature and how easily she connects with people, seeing her grow so close and trusting of Jes really reassured us. I would highly recommend Jes to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter.
