A great all round service
A great all round service. I found the perfect car sitter during our two weeks holiday abroad. I received regular updates which reassured us while we were away. I’d definitely use Pawshake again.

Ik snap al die reviews over 5 sterren enzo niet. Ik probeer nu al 3 dagen iemand te vinden om op te passen en check elke keer de agenda's (staat er ook bij dat de agenda's allemaal recent geupdate zijn). En dan elke keer de reactie: ik ben dan op vakantie/zit volgeboekt etc... nu ao 20 berichten binnen met dezelfde lading. Dit is echt waardeloos.

Reached out to a sitter (Amanda in Bolton) in April for a two week boarding for our dog in September. She said she hadn’t yet planned out that far, but would get back to me soon to arrange a meet n’ greet. Two months passed, and I had to reach out again, asking if she sorted her calendar yet. There was no apology for the lack of response, and agreed to a Sunday or Monday evening meeting. She would let me know which worked for her (dependent on how late visitors would stay on the Sunday). Not hearing back, I reached out on the Monday. She said her kids stayed home that day because of heat stroke, and asked if we could meet on the Wednesday or Thursday instead. I responded by asking which worked best for her, and never heard back. How unprofessional. I reached out to Pawshake. They expect sitters to respond within 30 minutes. I’m happy if I get a response within 24 hours. Clearly Amanda can’t be bothered to meet either expectation. I wanted to leave a review like this one on her Pawshake profile, but Pawshake only allows reviews after a booking. In my opinion, that is completely unacceptable. They said they would deal with Amanda internally, that this type of conduct would impact her standing, and that they would help me find another sitter. When I plugged in the dates I needed on a new search, guess who comes up as the first option? Amanda. Is that how her standing is impacted? Interesting how this works. I am far more upset with Amanda than Pawshake, but extremely disappointed in Pawshake for how they handled the matter. Needless to say, I will never use either again, and will suggest that any dog owners who need pet care services also refrain from using Pawshake as well.
Response from pawshake.comFeb 5, 2026
Hi Steven Armstrong, Thank you for sharing your experience — we completely understand how frustrating this must have been for you. We do want to clarify some points. The sitter you mention, Amanda, was suspended on 22 July and is no longer permitted to offer services on Pawshake due to this incident. Unless you were using a cached version of the site during your search, she should not appear in search results. Clearing your app or browser history will ensure you are seeing the most up-to-date results. Regarding response times, Pawshake expects sitters to reply within 24 hours, so we’re not sure where the 30-minute expectation came from. However, we do take reports of unresponsiveness seriously, and we appreciate you bringing Amanda’s lack of attentiveness and scheduling delays to our attention. We are sorry that your experience with this sitter was disappointing, and we hope this explanation helps clarify the situation. Your feedback is valuable in helping us maintain high standards for all sitters on the platform. — Pawshake Support

Vlot in contact gekomen met Nancy. De info die we via de site konden vinden, gaf al vertrouwen, en bij een eerste kennismaking was de klik er ook onmiddellijk. Ook de administratie, reservering en betaling verliep perfect.

Pawshake is zeker een goede oplossing als we onder onze vrienden geen beschikbare oppas vinden. Men kan rechtstreeks contact opnemen met de petsitter waardoor de communicatie snel verloopt. Ik heb het op 2 verschillende plaatsen gebruikt en telkens had ik voldoende keuze uit petsitters.
