"Jacky took wonderful care of our rabbits over the weekend, and I feel very lucky that one of my first experiences with a pet sitter was with him. From the start, his communication was excellent, and he was consistent in providing updates and photos throughout our trip, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away.
It was clear that he followed all of the care instructions carefully, and we especially appreciated that he kept an eye on the rabbits’ temperature given the summer weather. It was reassuring to know they were being looked after so attentively.
Our buns seemed to enjoy having him around too! They were curious about their new visitor, happily came over for attention, and even asked for pets. Seeing them so comfortable with him made us feel even more confident that they were in good hands.
When we returned, the rabbits looked relaxed, and well cared for. Overall, we’re incredibly thankful to Jacky for the care and attention he gave them. We would absolutely recommend him, and I’m sure our buns will be very happy to see him again soon! 🐰🐰"

"It was my first time using the cat sitter from the pawshake and I am glad I did. Zoe was looking after my two cats over the Christmas. Everything I asked her to do she would do without hesitation. Friendly and very patient, especially with my older cat Paris who’s very shy and doesn’t like being approached. Great communication from the start. My cats were happy with her so was I. I highly recommend Zoe. "

"Simone is honestly amazing. Our cat got sick while we were away and he took such incredible care of him. He was kind, calm, and genuinely caring, and kept us updated the whole time, which meant so much to us. It was a really stressful situation and knowing our cat was in such good hands made all the difference. We’re so grateful to Simone and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their beloved pet."

"I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat received over the 12 days I was away. From the very beginning, it was clear that Brandon genuinely loves and understands cats. They kept me regularly updated with messages and videos which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away.
My cat can be a bit particular, but Brandon took the time to learn her routine, habits, and personality, and made sure she was comfortable and happy the whole time. I came home to a relaxed, well-cared-for cat and a clean, tidy space, everything was just as I left it .
I highly recommend Brandon to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. I will definitely be booking again in the future. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my Panda! 🐾"

"Caroline did a wonderful job looking after my two cats. She was very communicative, and sent lots of cute photo updates. She was also gracious enough to empty the rubbish at the end of the week, to clean up a hairball + wash a blanket, and to bring in a package of extra cat food that was delivered after I left town. Most importantly, both cats seemed very happy and not anxious when I returned home. She was a lovely cat sitter and I would recommend her to anyone looking for help watching their pets!"

"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! 🤣 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!"

Your Pet's Pawfects Friends - cats and dog drop in sitting1.6 miles

"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
✅dry food: still have half scoop each left. topped up one scoop for each bowl
✅wet food: added 3 tps water and the cats didnt reject😆
✅water refilled and i saw Tilly went for it after, seems like they like fresh water too.
✅scoop x2 and cleaned the mess in the g/f toilet - the sand falls out everyday maybe a deeper litter box would work better
✅plant water
✅playing and brushing
other:
✅I collected a big box of tissue paper from outside, it's next to the stairs now"
"6 July 11:14-11:58
✅ dry food - have half scoop left, top up one scoop
✅ wet food
✅ plants
✅ litter
✅ water machine clean and refilled
✅ 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."

"Simona was a wonderful cat sitter for my three cats. She was very friendly and caring, and it was clear she has a genuine love for animals. She took great care of my cats, and I felt at ease knowing they were in her hands. She was also very trustworthy and went above and beyond by cleaning their feeders, which was a nice surprise. I would definitely recommend Simona to anyone looking for a responsible and caring cat sitter."

Why pet sitting ?
When you have to go away or work long hours, you may worry about leaving your pet home alone. Have you ever wondered “Is there a pet or dog sitter in London that can help?”.
Luckily, with Pawshake, you can easily find local and trusted pet and dog carers from London to provide drop in visits and other services. This means a pet sitter will come and visit your pet at a time you both agree on and provide lots of love and personal attention. This can include playtime in the backyard, a walk to the local park, or just some cuddle time. Our pet carers can also administer medication, give food, and refresh the water bowl.
In home pet sitting services are a great way to break up the day and enrich it for your pet. Pawshake pet sitters have extensive experience caring for a range of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and more. If you have multiple pets, home visits are a great option to ensure that they all get a visit and lots of attention during the day.
Drop in visits are the least stressful option for your pet because your pet can stay in their favourite environment – their own home in London. Their surroundings will be familiar and our loving and passionate Pawshake sitter will spoil them each day. Our sitters will treat your home with respect and are flexible with timing, requests and durations. All this can be discussed before you make a home visit booking.
Pet boarding is a great option for when you are away for a few days and your pet needs overnight care. Unlike pet hotels, Pawshake pet boarding allows you to arrange a personalised daily routine for your pet, whether this be extra belly rubs, playtime or 24 hour supervision. Your pet will stay with the pet sitter in a cosy home environment, rather than a large, impersonal pet hotel.
So whether you need just one day, a week or even a month, you’ll be able to find an experienced pet or dog carer to accommodate you and your pet’s needs in London. The best part is that your Pawshake pet sitter is from your local neighbourhood, so they will be familiar with the area.
Our pet carers also have a range of experiences which include puppies, seniors, nervous pets and dog training. So if your pet has special requirements, you’ll be sure to find a pet sitter that is a good match for you.
Your pet’s safety and welfare is a big priority for us, which is why all of our Pawshake pet sitters undergo a strict vetting process by our trust and safety team. At Pawshake, we understand that you might feel a little uneasy allowing a pet sitter to enter your home or arranging pet boarding at their place. This is why Pawshake pet sitters also have reviews from other pet parents that are publicly available on their profile for you to read.
Each pet sitting home visit and pet boarding booking made through Pawshake is covered by the Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer support 7 days a week and more. Rest easy knowing that your pets will be well looked after by one of our expert pet carers in London.
