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.

EWe recently used Pawshake for the first time and couldn’t be happier with our experience—especially thanks to our amazing pet sitter, Marta.
As first-time users of a pet-sitting service, we were naturally a bit anxious about leaving our two Mainecoon cats but from the moment we met Marta, we felt completely at ease. She is warm, caring and incredibly professional. It was clear right away that she genuinely loves animals and would treat our cats as if they were her own.
While we were away, Marta stayed in our home and took wonderful care of everything. She kept us updated with messages and photos and we returned to find two very happy, relaxed cats and a spotless house. It was obvious that they had been truly loved and well looked after. She even brought in some toys for them to play with which they absolutely loved!
Marta went above and beyond in every way and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again in the future.
We highly recommend Marta to anyone looking for reliable, kind and trustworthy pet care. Thank you so much ❤️

EBecky was an exceptional cat sitter.
Becky looked after our 4 year old Cat Moose and our 3 month old kitten Dotty.
Having only having Dotty for 3 weeks we were nervous leaving her for long stretches of time by herself so asked Becky to house sit as well as cat sit for a long weekend while we were on holiday.
Becky was so understanding and put our minds at ease when we had our consultation.
When she arrived at the house she was punctual and communicated really well how everything would work.
When we left for the holiday she put my mind at ease when I texted her about the welfare of the cats and sent beautiful and detailed Whatsapp updates including pictures and videos on how they were getting on.
She was really respectful of our house and looked after our cats so beautifully.
I was so grateful for her professionalism and also the great care and love she gave our pets.
She is an amazing cat sitter that I will look forward to booking again.
