A sitter stays overnight in your home
House and pet care for while you are away
A house sitter will stay at your home while you are away to care for your pets and keep an eye on your home.
House sitting is a perfect choice for pets that prefer to stay in the comfort of their own home. Our house sitters are also a more cost effective option if you own several pets.
With house sitting, your house will be lived-in and far more secure with a trusted house sitter coming and going than an empty home.

Drew is an ABSOLUTE GEM!
I cannot recommend Drew enough for anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. He recently looked after my two Pomeranians, and I am beyond impressed with the level of care and attention he provided.
From the very beginning, Drew was incredibly communicative and attentive. He took the time to meet my pups beforehand, asked all the right questions about their routines, preferences, and any special needs they had. It was clear right away that he genuinely loves animals and takes his role seriously.
While I was away, Drew went above and beyond to make sure my fur babies were happy and comfortable. He sent daily updates with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My Pomeranians can be a bit high-maintenance (as small dogs often are!), but Drew handled them with such patience and kindness. He followed their feeding schedule, took them on regular walks, and even gave them extra cuddles and playtime—they were living their best lives!
When I returned, my home was spotless, and my dogs were calm, happy, and clearly well-loved in my absence. It’s such a relief to know I can trust Drew completely with my furry family members.
If you’re looking for a dog sitter who treats your pets like their own, Drew is the one. He’s professional, reliable, and has a true gift with animals. My Pomeranians already miss him!
Thank you, Drew, for being absolutely amazing! 🐾🐾

THE BEST!!!
Renato (and his wife Ceci - also a pet sitter on Pawshake) were once again AMAZING with my dog Jax. He is a 10 year old husky...with a fair bit of attitude. We were away for a Christmas/New Year holiday and Renato (and Ceci) stayed in our home taking care of our dog and our house for close to two weeks.
Jax was absolutely spoiled and it is very clear that he had a wonderful time with Renato. Renato is so great with giving daily update messages, videos and pictures. It made me feel at ease. Also to note that our house was also exactly as we had left it.
Renato is incredibly responsible, respectful, warm and kind. It's clear from my dog's reaction when greeting him that Renato is one of his favourite people. My dog does suffer from seizures but Renato was willing to look after him either way. That's not easy to find in a pet sitter.
I will recommend Renato to all my family and friends and will hope to book him in the future. Thank you so much Renato (and Ceci) for being the absolute best with Jax. It means the world to us.
