Loved by pet owners
Sit back and relax! Your pet is in safe hands with their loving, experienced pet sitter.
MRyan is an exceptional pet sitter who provided attentive, compassionate care for our dog, Bibi. He was incredibly accommodating, stepping in on short notice to look after her.
Throughout the stay, Ryan was highly communicative, proactively checking in regarding Bibi's digestion, appetite, and general comfort levels during thunderstorms. He clearly went above and beyond to make her feel at home, even providing extra affection and playtime with his own dog, Killua. He was also very flexible and helpful with the logistics of pick-up and drop-off. Bibi was clearly in great hands, and we truly appreciated the care, updates, and the lovely personal touch he and his wife provided. We would happily recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dedicated pet sitter.

AI can't say enough good things about our experience! From the moment we met, it was clear Jessie is 100% a dog lover. She didn't just jump right in — she asked thoughtful questions to clarify everything about our dogs’ routine, feeding times and walk schedules, making sure everything stayed consistent while we were away. Our dogs got plenty of activity and came home happy, healthy, and relaxed — you can tell she genuinely enjoys keeping dogs active and engaged.
What really stood out was the communication. We received regular updates and photos throughout the stay, which gave us such peace of mind. It felt like we were right there with our pups!
We will absolutely be booking again. Highly recommend! 🐾

Your dog boarding questions answered
With home dog boarding, your dog stays overnight at a sitter’s home. Instead of being in a crowded dog kennel or dog hotel, your dog can be in a comfortable home and receive the same quality level of love and care you would provide.
Your dog will be staying at the sitter's home. Be sure to discuss any requirements with your sitter prior to booking. The more your sitter knows about your pet, the better! That way they can really ensure that your pet has the best and most comfortable stay.
Pawshake only accepts sitters who have experience and/or qualifications caring for pets. You will get to search, choose and have a free meet and greet with your sitter prior to making a booking.
Visit the sitter's profile and read about their background, home and experience.Then request a free meet and greet. If you are happy with the sitter’s dog boarding environment and how well they bond with your dog, confirm your booking on Pawshake.
