When we met our sitter, we checked with them that they wouldn't cancel last minute, as that has been our usual experience with Pawshake sitters. They confirmed they would not. But of course they did. They have not returned our keys. Pawshake was thoroughly unhelpful in finding us a new sitter - they suggested some who are of course all booked up. So our weekend away is ruined because I have to stay home and look after the dogs. Pawshake is also not refunding my accommodation or other cancellation costs from our trip, because it's in their terms and conditions - so they can't afford to be decent human beings because their scumbag service breaks so often that they would end up bankrupt if they covered all the costs associated with their shitness.

Hi Rob, Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback and sorry to hear you did not have a positive experience. To clarify, Pawshake does not provide a pet sitting service, but a platform that connects pet owners with sitters and allows pet sitters to advertise their services. We are very sorry that your sitter cancelled on you and inconvenienced you in that manner. Pet sitters who cancel services or have listings of insufficient quality are removed from the site. If you need further assistance in finding a replacement sitter, our support staff are always available to help. Kind Regards Jack Pawshake Support

I've needed to get house sitters from Pawshake about six times over ten years. This is normally if I'm travelling for work or a sports tournament and I can't get a friend or my partner to look after my dogs. Five of the six times, I've had strongly negative experiences. The pet sitters often pull out a week or closer to when I'm leaving, and finding a replacement that close is often too late. The Pawshake team explain that is sometimes how it goes, but with this being such a regular occurrence I feel they need to screen their pet sitters to ensure they don't screw over their clients as often. I strongly recommend using a different service

Hi Rob, Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and we are so sorry to hear you did not have a positive experience. If we notice that a pet sitter declines booking despite being having listed availability or cancels services on a client, their profile is placed into review and faces deletion. We are very sorry that your sitter inconvenienced you by cancelling and I do hope my colleague was able to assist in helping you find a replacement in this instance. If you require assistance in the future, our support team are always available to help. Kind Regards Jack Pawshake Support

Fantastic, it was so easy. Our cat was very relaxed. Rima had the touch with him.

Ich kann Pawshake nur deutlich empfehlen. Mein kleiner Hund hat sich sehr wohl gefühlt bei der Hundesitterin und der Abwicklungsprozess und die Suche nach einer Sitterin war völlig unkompliziert.

Duidelijk, alleen de te reserveren data mogen de oppassers wel eerder open zetten, of jullie. Gr anita

Very easy to use. Reasonable prices. Good system for meeting prospective sitter who did a wonderful job. Great peace of mind while my dog cared for in my absence.

Easy website to use, there were a number of really good providers to choose from, and the person we ended up selecting to look after our dog in their home for 4 weeks was absolutely fantastic.
