Alexandra took care for my two cats and everything went better than expected✨ Since the first meeting with here, the communication was great, she showed interest in every single details of my cats. Even during the cat sitting, communication with her was really good, and she was really careful about some important topics that i had specifically for my cats, making sure that everything was as it should. Both of my cats have different personalities, different types of feedings and Alexandra was really adopted since the first visit, which surprised me a lot because one of my cats needs a lot of time with strangers, but with Alexandra they were best mates since the first visits. What i really liked too, is that i found my apartment as I left it, the cats plates and the area around the cats litter was cleaned. And my flowers were taken good care too. I am very happy that I meet someone that can take care of my cats in my absence, and I really recommend Alexandra for cat sitting ✨🫶🏻

We hired Gül to care for our shy cats while we were on vacation, and we’re very pleased with her service. Gül visited them daily, ensuring they were comfortable and loved. Despite their shyness, she quickly bonded with them. Her attention to detail and genuine care were evident. We came back to find our cats happy and healthy. Gül’s daily photo and video updates were a great touch, giving us peace of mind. Her reliability and dedication make her our top choice for future pet sitting. We highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thanks, Gül, for taking such good care of our kitties!

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.
