⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter for my dog Milo! 🐶✨ Renata took care of him for 10 days while I was on vacation, and I felt completely at ease the whole time. Milo was so well looked after – daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love. I also really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which showed how happy and comfortable he was. Coming back, I could tell Milo was relaxed, healthy, and truly enjoyed his time with Renata. It means so much to know my dog was in such caring and responsible hands. I highly recommend Renata to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and reliable pet sitter. We will definitely be booking again! 🐾💛

Haoying is absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of my naughty senior boy for a whole week, and I could not have asked for a better dog sitter. She went above and beyond—not only did she send me regular updates with photos and descriptions so I felt reassured, but she also patiently handled his quirks and needs with so much kindness. To make him feel even more comfortable, she cooked fresh food for him and made sure he was happy, healthy, and relaxed every single day. I was also happy that he could play with her doggie 🐶 too. Her genuine love for animals really shines through, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such caring hands. I truly would not have been so happy and stress-free without her help. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring dog sitter! 👍❤️

Frequently Asked Questions

Your dog boarding questions answered

With home dog boarding, your dog stays overnight at a sitter’s home. Instead of being in a crowded dog kennel or dog hotel, your dog can be in a comfortable home and receive the same quality level of love and care you would provide.

Your dog will be staying at the sitter's home. Be sure to discuss any requirements with your sitter prior to booking. The more your sitter knows about your pet, the better! That way they can really ensure that your pet has the best and most comfortable stay.

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