If you’re searching for a cat sitter who’s not only reliable but also genuinely loves cats, look no further than Shravanthi. She’s an absolute gem! From the moment I met her, it was clear she’s a kind and sweet person with a natural affinity for animals. She has her own cat, which gives her a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of cats behavior. My cat is very social, always seeking attention, and loves being around people. Shravanthi was a perfect match for her personality. In fact, by the time I returned, my cat seemed to adore her so much, I almost felt like an intruder. It was heartwarming to see how well Shravanthi had cared for her – she looked happy, well-fed, and thoroughly entertained. What truly stood out to me was Shravanthi’s attention to detail. She sent me daily photos and updates, which not only put my mind at ease but also brought a smile to my face. It’s clear she took her time to make sure my cat felt comfortable, loved, and safe while I was away. If you want a cat sitter who treats your pet as if they were her own, Shravanthi is the one. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after my fur baby! Highly recommended.

Hana looked after our two cats for four days, and we are completely satisfied. The cats were very, very well cared for under Hana’s supervision. She sent us regular updates, little videos, and photos, so I always knew that the cats were doing well. Everything went smoothly with feeding and giving medication. Hana left the apartment very tidy, and the cats are super happy. I can wholeheartedly recommend Hana and I am very happy to have found my future cat sitter in her. I would gladly ask her again, and I can only recommend her to everyone. Hana is great. A top cat sitter :-)

Frequently Asked Questions

Your pet sitting questions answered

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.

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.

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.

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.
