"I am a rescue foster carer and have 5 rescue Tibetan Spaniels and 1 rescue kitty. Four of the dogs are very traumatised due to their lengthy past of living in cages and without any human interaction, except for in a negative way. Due to this and understanding the challenges of babysitting them, I have not left them before. So, I had much anxiety about leaving them and really not that comfortable with someone coming into my home...but I needed a house-sitter.
I found Mariya after another babysitter on another Pet-sitting site let me down at the Meet and Greet stage (better this than during the house-sit which has happened to me before and also to a friend).
Mariya was (is) amazing. She is a caring, thoughtful, considerate, intelligent, capable and solution-orientated person.
Four of the dogs were manageable with Mariya providing some additional approaches in their best interests, yet all time consuming for her. However, one dog was beyond a challenge. Mariya worked with me (me remotely) for an appropriate approach that supported the dog and and also worked for the others. This really reassured me - both her frankness and the way she eagerly wanted to work through a solution. She was amazing! Another house-sitter would have given up.
I am vegan and have allergies. So, she decided without discussion to bring her own crockery, cutlery, cookware, sheets, towels so as not to contaminate anything of mine. Wow! I've never experienced such care and compassion. It definitely wasn't my expectation for her to do this.
I came home to a clean house, as clean as I left it and I'm a clean freak. I also came home to very happy babies. It was wonderful and reassuring.
OK - only negative... my kitty and one of the dogs have issued me with their Vacate Notices. They've decided to shift in with Mariya!! She was that loved by them and by all (and this was evident in the photos, clips she updated me with regularly).
I am unsure if Pawshake allow this, but would be happy for anyone considering Mariya to contact me for more information.
I feel I have not only found an amazing house-sitter, but also found a new wonderful friend.
Thank you Mariya from all of us in The Unit of Love!

"Maddy was fantastic. Her communication was excellent and our Labradoodle was very happy spending time with her. Maddy left our house in fantastic condition and even washed and dried the linen she used during her stay. We would thoroughly recommend Maddy and we will definitely engage her for future dog sitting requirements. "

"Camila took very good care of our two cats while we were away. It is the first time we've left them for longer than the weekend so we were quite worried, but Camila definitely has helped eleviate that. Camila took very good care of the house, and would send us pictures of the boys. Thank you for taking care of Cookie and Moppet, I would definitely recommend Camila to take care of your pets while you are away."

Definitely recommend Char for house sitting. Thanks!"

"We had an excellent first time experience with Colleen. Colleen house sat our 2 cats whilst we were away. One cat very anxious and unsure of strangers, but everything was great.
We felt very comfortable when we first met, and made leaving our cats with her, knowing they were going to be in safe hands. She did not disappoint and even messaged us to stay up to date.
She is reliable, trustworthy and responsive. Without hesitation, we would highly recommend Colleen. We will certainly have Colleen again next time.
Thank you so much Colleen, you are a STAR! Judy & Herb"

"A big thanks to Gabi. This was the first time we have used a dog sitter from Pawshake. I can highly recommend Gabi. She was a great communicator and I was kept up to date on how our two dogs were during our 4 week holiday. One of our dogs has a complicated medication regime and Gabi tended to him with care and conscientiousness. It was also extremely hot while Gabi was house-sitting and she made sure our dogs stayed cool during the extreme weather. Gabi also impressed as an open, honest and friendly person. I am very grateful for Gabi for looking after our dogs so well."

"Steph is amazing pet sitter. Calm, confident and reliable, she took wonderful care of our very elderly cat and our boisterous young dog for a long stay pet sit in our home. She is great communicator and provided lots of updates while we were away which meant we were able to relax and enjoy our holiday. She also left the house clean and tidy. It was great to arrive home to contented pets. I highly recommend Steph"

"I can't recommend Amelia enough. I went to the Mornington Penisula to do a day trip and had Melia to look after my 2 staffies. Amelia was very prompt on reply before, during and after the booking. She made sure that she understand the dogs needs before hand, and was able to handle my 2 very excited staffies calmly. She was very flexible and arrived on time, dogs were very calm and content upon my return. Thanks Amelia! "
