We were absolutely delighted to find Angeline on Pawshake for our beloved dog, Romeo. She is an exceptional dog sitter who has exceeded our expectations in every way. Angeline comes in once a day to take Romeo for his walks and clean him up while we are away at work, and her dedication and care are evident in every interaction. From the moment we met her, Angeline showed genuine warmth and affection towards Romeo. She quickly became a trusted friend to our furry family member, and Romeo absolutely adores her. It’s clear that she has a deep understanding and love for animals, which shines through in the way she handles and cares for them. Angeline is not only reliable and punctual but also incredibly knowledgeable. She offers loads of valuable advice on dog care, which has been immensely helpful for us as dog owners. Her tips and suggestions have made a positive impact on Romeo's well-being and our overall approach to his care. We are grateful for Angeline’s professionalism and the peace of mind she provides. Knowing that Romeo is in such capable and loving hands allows us to focus on our work without worry. We highly recommend Angeline to anyone looking for a compassionate and dependable dog sitter. She truly is a gem in the world of pet care! Thank you, Angeline, for being such a wonderful part of Romeo's life. We look forward to continuing our relationship with you and appreciate all the love and care you give our furry friend.

Mr Hans is the kind of cat sitter you want to book over and over again. From the meet & greet to the assignment of taking care of your pets, he was always committed and professional to stay attentive to my furry pets. He always sent great photos and videos updates when he was taking care of my pets. The kids warmed up to him fast and his natural parental instincts and love for cats really helped to ensure my pets resonate with him well with trust and connection. He was very responsible to ensure the kids stay entertained with catch play and he would also ensure the environment stayed clean for the kids whilst you are away. If you are considering your next pet sitter, Hans is one who is so fitted for the tasks and he should be made the top of your choice! Kudos to Hans! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Frequently asked questions

Your pet sitting questions answered

What does pet sitting include?

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.

Who will be caring for my pet during the pet sitting booking?

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.

Is pet sitting the right option for my 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.

What is the difference between pet sitting and pet hotels?

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.
