Sushmita and Shriharsha were excellent dog sitters for our 6-month old puppy Bruno! We were gone for 17 days and were a bit worries as he hadn’t stayed anywhere for longer than a few hours prior to our travels. We met up with Sushmita, Shriharsha and their adorable dog Ollie twice prior to the dog boarding and Bruno and Ollie got along great. Ollie is a gentle, active and well trained dog and his presence was a great comfort for Bruno while we were away. We are sure he also learnt a lot for Ollie, so being around him was great for his development as well. Sushmita and Shriharsha are patient, loving and communicative dog sitters - we got regular updates in the form of photos and videos and were sure that Bruno wasn’t just a guest but integrated into their family and loved. If you’re looking for dog sitters that take their task seriously but don’t just see dog boarding as a transaction but really make your pet feel at home with love and care I fully recommend both of them! We would book them again in future in a heartbeat. Thanks you two for taking care so well of our Bruno!

I couldn’t find better! I used to work as wildlife animal rescuer which also included many difficult medical and behavioral cases including dogs and cats. I have quite a lot of experience in working with animals and people and to my judgement based on my previous experiences Alexandra and her husband are the most warm, accommodating and competent people I could find on this app to take care of my dog. I’m an owner of medically complex, reactive and traumatized dog that fled the war and was born homeless on the streets of Ukraine. This was my first time finding a petsitter for my girl and I was really anxious about it due to fact that taking care of my dog is just simply a challenge on many levels. Before booking the service I spoke to Alexandra and provided her all the essential info about my dog to let her decide if they want to take care of my dog. After booking we met for a short talk. I felt really accommodated and I became sure that I found the right people. Alexandra was willing to take every extra steps to prepare for taking my dog like having a short walk, feeding my dog with me, making sure medical instructions are understood well etc. After I left Runa I was getting pictures of my dog a few times a day with lovely messages and observations that only experienced animal caretaker can make. Even though my dog is rather anxious one, on the pictures I received I noticed that my girl was mostly relaxing and resting so I know she was in the right hands. I would also like to mention that Alexandra’s flat is extremely well taken care of, very clean and just lovely so I was sure that my dog is safe. The couple is really warm and pleasant to be around and I could really recognize that they both love animals. Also I want to mention that they’re both extremely considerate and asked the right questions all the time. I was quite insecure about the complexity of the challenge that my dog is but both made me feel sure that my dog isn’t that difficult and Runa was treated with proper care and love. After picking my dog I noticed that the experience didn’t affect my dog negatively at all. I also received a lovely instax photo of Runa which is a sweet memory for me. I will definetly book Alexandra again and I would like to recommend the couple with all my heart 🤍

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.

Visit the sitter's profile and read about their background, home and experience.Then request a free meet and greet. If you are happy with the sitter’s dog boarding environment and how well they bond with your dog, confirm your booking on Pawshake.
