Ratings and reviews

Good app for finding local pet sitters. However, I do think the cut they take from the sitter's payment is much too high - 19 percent! And, what's offered in return is a rather rudimentary designed app, and a Pawshake guarantee to cover veterinary expenses, but only up to a certain amount, should an accident occur. Which, I believe, is hardly ever needed. Not much incentive to keep using it, when close to 20% is taken out, after taxes not much left :/ Perhaps sitters that are booked more should receive a lower rate.

Booked a cat sitter with no problems. App easy to use and it sounds like they provide some additional securities should anything happen during the sitting sessions. Not sure how well that is as didn't have to use it though.

Very useful app, I found always great people that help my pet when I am away and the safety I feel because of this app is awesome! There is full coverage in case of any problems and Pawshake is the best way to find a sitter. I could not do without! It is the uber for pet sitters and it made my life so easy!
