I whole heartedly recommend Robyn for pet sitting. Our cat can be very nervous of strangers and unhappy when we go away. We have tried catteries and other pet sitters in the past but they haven't worked out. That is until our cat met Robyn. Robyn really put her at ease and made sure she was well cared for while we were away. She sent us daily updates showing our cat, giving her fusses which she adores, and just genuinely putting us at ease that our cat was being well taken care of. Robyn was always easy to communicate with and friendly when we spoke. She also did a wonderful job looking after our daughters pet hamster too. 100% we would book Robyn again to look after our pets. Thank you Robyn for taking such amazing care of Sephy and Gus Gus, we will definitely be using you again when we have to go away.

A truly spectacular pet sitter 🥰 my partner and I went on holiday to Japan for 2 weeks and our usual sitter was away so we decided to try Pawshake for the first time. After reading Louise’s fantastic reviews we decided to reach out and see if she was free to look after our two cats Chip and Cocoa. Louise came over before we went away to meet the cats and we could already tell she was someone pets immediately love and trust. While we were away Louise sent us photos and provided us with updates on how the cats were getting on while we were away. She provided them with the food, enrichment and love they needed and we could not be more grateful! As an absolute cherry on top she brought over fresh catnip which our boy cat chip was particularly excited about and she watered our plants when they started to look a bit sad. She went above and beyond and we would recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter. Thanks for everything Louise! ♥️♥️ from Emily, Liam, Cocoa and Chip
