Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo. From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away. This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of. Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for. I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift ! Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down. Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! Thank you, Teresa for everything.... Milo and I so appreciate you .....
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least €15 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
We know when we bring Sendra to Laurine that she is in good hands. She can walk around freely and Laurine walks with her. We like that she has freedom of movement and does not have to sit in a cage. We also always receive photos or videos so that we can see how Sendra is doing.
Our Balou is so satisfied with Laurien (and so are we 😉). You notice that Laurien really enjoys doing this and that gives a lot of confidence. It's wonderful to go on holiday. Would love to come back next time. 👍👍👍
Our dachshund Jef has visited Laurine several times and he is always well cared for and pampered: regular walks, lots of fun playing with the other dogs and animals in the house. Laurine and her mother do their utmost and you receive nice photos/videos every day: so you have peace of mind on your leave. We will be back!
Our Luna was very welcome and very well cared for in a warm home with others. Lodge s even though she was only 3 months old gr. eddy and carine,
I am very happy to be able to rely on Laurine's Petcare. Our Border Collie really likes it there and is well cared for in a homely atmosphere. Laurine also provides useful advice for questions about raising our puppy. Laurine is clearly a professional with a big heart for animals. Reservations and questions are always responded to very quickly. I leave our dog behind with great peace of mind.
Our dog Sanka (toller) has already come to daycare with Laurine a few times and enjoys going there. We also feel completely at ease when he is with Laurine - we receive an occasional update, the stay is in a pleasant homely atmosphere and communication always runs smoothly. Sanka has also received a trim twice during his stay, beautifully done. Definitely recommended to book with Laurine!
Our Roxy (American Cocker Spaniel) is an insecure dog by nature, but in the meantime she trusts Laurine and her entire family 100%! I leave her with great confidence with Laurine so that she can play with the dogs present :-)
Utah is always happy when she arrives at Laurine's place. She immediately feels at home. Very good shelter for the dogs. Home care is very important to me for my dog. Super friendly people! Videos are always forwarded.
We needed care for our 3-year-old Vizsla Odette for two days. We were well received at our first meeting. The next day we dropped Odette off with full confidence. Great contact, we often receive photos and videos, which is nice. Received good and honest feedback! Thanks Laurine!
Rubi loves it! Also always nice to receive photos and videos with updates from our slob.
Great service that allowed my family to visit my grandparents while keeping our cats at home in a much less stressful environment than a kennel. Had to work with the caretaker through the app to do a custom service as our cats had special needs, but even this was simple using the service.
Great app, easy to use and great service for those of us looking for the best experience for our pets! Was able to communicate with the sitter easily and see how our two dogs would get along before commiting.
Our sitter Gabrielle was absolutely wonderful with our cat! She really cared for her and the photos and updates really made us feel secure that all was well. And the whole experience, from booking to meeting our sitter, to paying online was both easy and transparent. 100% recommended and will be using this service again and again
I have been using Pawshake in Brussels already for 3 weeks. I have found amazing Dog Sitters who I could easily trust as they showed up in my house a day before, so they can meet my dog, my house and my rules. I think Pawshake is a great app, and so far I have no complaints. Just as future improvements, it would be good to filter the pet sitters not only by region but by price range (or if it is there, I didnt know where this functionality was) and also, whether is dog or cat sitter (I think it is there but it is not working because I always get cat sitters in the results). So far, so good! thanks for this app, it saved Nacho (my puppy) and me plenty of times :) I dont give 5 starts because there is always room for improvement!
Ann, 2022-11-05 Marcela is a very nice person. She looked after Inkie and Lou like if it were her own pets. Every day she sent two video’s and told us what was happening at our home. So we could enjoy our holiday. We would like to ask her again if we go on a holiday.
What a game changer for me and my family. So happy to have found Pawshake. The sitters are kind animal lovers who are super responsible and organized!
What a perfect solution! We love our dog, Orla, but we also like to travel. Pawshake made it possible. For five days, our young dog (an ‘only child’) enjoyed a holiday with two other dogs. The carer took great care of Orla, sent photos and videos of her and her new puppy pals regularly while we were away and was completely professional and friendly.
If ever you need a cat sitter, a dog sitter or a house sitter, you cannot go wrong with Cyndee Mitchell. She is an owner's dream: punctual, responsible, conscientious, fantastic with animals, gives constant feedback with photos, and is a very intelligent woman. I am very comfortable just chatting with her, along with all of her other qualities. I cannot recommend her too highly.
My experience with Pawshake has been highly successful. We found a trustworthy petsitter to take care of our animals and felt confident and relaxed when we left on holiday.
Had a great experience, and highly recommend this service. The app is easy to use, and the whole organization is professional, conscientious, and responsive. Our sitter was great. Give them a shot, you’ll be happy.
