If you are looking for a kind, responsible, and thoughtful pet sitter who will look after your pets like her own - look no further!! Maaike provided outstanding care to our cat while we were away on holiday. She proactively communicated with us, asked good questions about our cat’s care, and even went a step further and left our cat a little Christmas present on her last day. We’ll definitely be using Maaike in the future!

My cat is usually very stressed whenever we go away. I often worry about her destroying the furniture. However, Lucas was very caring with her, and when I returned from a long weekend she seemed like a normal, happy cat. Lucas is a super pet caretaker, and I highly recommend his services.

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.
