"Nikki as well as her brother James took excellent care of my slightly senior Yorkie of 16 years of age, for a period of 10 days.
It was my first ever pet sitter experience; previously - I had relied on pet hotels for round-the-clock care (when I was living outside of the UK).
And given my huge emotional attachment to my dog - my lifelong companion who has moved with me across different countries, you can imagine how picky and scrupulous I was in my instructions and preferences!
To name a few, out of my 10-page of instructions (!), the requirement highlighted the home visit timings (x2 per day), the exact number of nutrient supplement tablets to feed my dog in specific order, the mopping of the bathroom floor (as my dog uses the bathroom toilet as her bathroom), the turning on/off of the lights in the apartment, etc.
Nikki and James helped to follow the instructions to the letter and helped share photos and videos and messages multiple times a day - which really helped to put my mind at ease during the 10 days I was away. Photos clearly indicated how much my dog became attached to them, almost to the extent I felt jealous! 𤣠Clearly a sign that my dog felt the love and care bestowed on her by Nikki and James.
Overall - very very happy at the love and care shown to the love of my life! Thank you Nikki and James!"

"Sophie is an excellent cat sitter - conscientious, affectionate and with a lot of attention to detail. She really took time and effort to get to know our cats, give them love. and cuddles while we were away. We were sent daily updates with photos and videos of how they were doing. She was also very kind to even hoover our flat so that we would not find hair all over the place (although that was not her job at all!). Most surprisingly, after a while the cats even agreed to let her comb them daily. We suggested it after there was some report of puking, but had not asked her to do that at the beginning because we thought they would not allow it, especially one of them who is a bit of a hooligan; she actually enjoyed the grooming session to my utter surprise, which is evidence of how good a sitter Sophie is. We highly recommend her services!"

"If I could give 10 stars in every category I would.
You're probably looking at Karen's profile and only seeing at the time of writing this at least, maybe two reviews and anxious (like we were) as to whether or not to hire Karen. So with that in mind, I'm intentionally making this review the longest I have ever written for a pawshake petsitter, because I believe that Karen deserves the same level of care and respect as she gave to our most precious family members, Teddy and Tilly, and you the pet owner need DETAIL!
Your pets could not be in better hands and you will be able to go on holiday with zero worry. Karen is utterly amazing, and I'm telling you this as someone who has been using pawshake for probably 10 years, and have had many sitters.
They are NOT all the same. It matters who you choose.
We have had sitters who we could tell did the absolute bare minimum, for instance not changing water every day or visiting at really irregular times.
NOT SO with Karen! We hired Karen to visit our kitties twice a day.
Karen respected the time slots, always arriving within 30 mins of the usual designated time. This is extremely important for cats. We previously had a cat sitter who skipped a visit one day because she had to go to a party, and had made no provision for leaving extra water or food telling us "ah, I'll just go twice tomorrow instead". Can you imagine leaving your children without water or food for 24 hours? Unlike Karen, who was meticulous in her care.
She ALWAYS stayed longer than expected. And every single minute Karen was in our apartment she was WORKING (for the kitties).
For up to an hour each time Karen would be constantly:
* Playing with them
* Brushing them (they are very furry siberians and brushed them every single day)
* Taking huge interest in their habits and behaviour to understand them
* Changed their bowls every single day
* taking COPIOUS photos and videos sending them to us on whatsapp even though we had 4 indoor ring cameras.
* Not just taking care of their litter but proactively sweeping the floor (we came back to a completely clean flat - which is NOT normally the case. The usually only ever empty the litter, and just let any litter on the floor just stay their and throughout the apartment.
* communicating with us on their wellbeing, quirks she noticed, giving us suggestions and always included a full end-of-visit "checklist"
oh, and she took care of our deliveries too!
I really wish I could attach screenshots of the types of messages Karen would send, so I'll paste a couple of examples here to give you an idea of what you can expect:
"5 July 11:21-12:01
â
dry food: still have half scoop each left. topped up one scoop for each bowl
â
wet food: added 3 tps water and the cats didnt rejectđ
â
water refilled and i saw Tilly went for it after, seems like they like fresh water too.
â
scoop x2 and cleaned the mess in the g/f toilet - the sand falls out everyday maybe a deeper litter box would work better
â
plant water
â
playing and brushing
other:
â
I collected a big box of tissue paper from outside, it's next to the stairs now"
"6 July 11:14-11:58
â
dry food - have half scoop left, top up one scoop
â
wet food
â
plants
â
litter
â
water machine clean and refilled
â
play with string and brush
Temperature: outside is hot and shiny, the flat is cooler than outside.
shutter is closed, window is closed two fans working"
But in-between these checklists Karen would provide super detailed messages about exactly how the cats have been reacting to her, to feeding, their litter status.
Karen clearly took her job ultra seriously and I'm not sure we could have been kept better informed or more reassured that Teddy and Tilly were in superb hands.
It's usually the parents who actually need more care and attention than the pets. We're the ones panicking and worrying wondering if we should maybe get an earlier flight home. Karen made absolutely sure that WE were looked after too! Happy kitties and happy humans all around.
I could write more. But if you've read this far, you must surely have gotten enough insight from me to know that you are kids are totally safe with Karen.
Finally, the real litmus test of whether you truly like a catsitter, is whether you would re-book them. Well clearly we would, without hesitation. Our biggest worry would be if Karen isn't available - that would be a disaster.
Massive shoutout and huge thanks to Karen for being so incredible."

"Emma showed up everyday and sent us pictures and an update on our old girl. Betty was healthy and happy when we got home. Litter box was clean and everything was fine in the flat. Emma was friendly and professional when we met and I was impressed she wanted to stay and get to know Betty a bit more. We are so happy with Emma and would recommend her to anyone. And weâll be calling on her again next time we need to be away. "

"Maranda did an amazing job pet-sitting for our three cats. She is kind and responsive. Our cats were very relaxed with her appearance, which is unusual for them. We were happy to know everything was taken care of from the pictures she sent, and that made my trip much easier and relaxed. She is a reliable pet sitter and I would like to work with her again in the future!

"I highly recommend Steven for caring for your pets! My husband and I had just moved to the UK with our two cats, not knowing anyone, we arranged a cat sitting company to look after our boys. Two days before leaving town the cat company canceled due to a lack of staff availability. That's when we found Steven! He was incredibly responsive to our request and was accommodating to our last minute situation. Our meeting with Steven prior to him watching our cats was very reassuring, he was responsible and you could tell genuinely cares for animals. Steven did a wonderful job taking care of our boys and sent daily updates, which we loved receiving! We could not recommend Steven enough and we will continue to use him going forward!
