Best babysitter ever! Alexandra is such a kind person who really treated my dog & cat as her own. She was invested in my dog, who can be a little anxious, ensuring her mental wellbeing throughout her stay but also carefully adapting her to new situations. She was super conscientious about my cat, providing stimulating activities for her to ensure she didn’t get bored. Alexandra took my dog to the park, to hangouts with other dogs, walkies all the time. Lastly, Alexandra was very accommodating for an unexpected situation which required a last-minute plan change, and she was very kind about it. Really I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, I’m very glad I found her :) —- Meilleure pet-sitter qui soit ! Alexandra est une personne extrêmement gentille, qui a vraiment pris soin de mon chien et de mon chat comme s’ils étaient les siens. Elle s’est beaucoup investie auprès de mon chien, qui peut être un peu anxieux, en veillant à son bien-être mental tout au long de son séjour, tout en l’aidant avec douceur à s’adapter à de nouvelles situations. Elle a également été très consciencieuse avec mon chat, en lui proposant des activités stimulantes afin qu’elle ne s’ennuie pas. Alexandra a emmené mon chien au parc, à des rencontres avec d’autres chiens, et en promenade très régulièrement. Enfin, Alexandra s’est montrée très arrangeante face à une situation imprévue qui a nécessité un changement de dernière minute, et elle a été très compréhensive à ce sujet. Vraiment, je n’aurais pas pu espérer meilleure pet-sitter, je suis ravie de l’avoir trouvée :)

I highly recommend Ilona as a dog sitter. She was great with my dog and communicated clearly with me throughout his stay. My boy is a big dog and can be a lot to handle and she managed him beautifully. It was clear he liked her and felt comfortable with her right away. I felt very reassured knowing he was in such capable and caring hands.

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.

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.
