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.

Hi Amelia, thanks for your great feedback! The Pawshake contribution is used also for marketing so that new owners can reach you and to keep our support team operative 24/7. The insurance coverage is evaluated case by case, and we offer other guarantees.

Great service that connected me with a wonderful sitter. Booking and payment is easy. Only downside is that I've had some trouble with notifications (when my sitter is sending me messages) - sometimes they don't pop up until I open the app. Most of the time it seems to be ok though, only happens every now and then (and sometimes they pop up on their own, but just a bit delayed). Also, can't zoom in on photos sent through messages from my sitter - instead, it takes you back to the chat thread.

I've been using Pawshake for a few years and have always found it to be reliable and easy to navigate! We've had some fantastic sitters who we can communicate through the app with, including photos of our pets whilst we're away!
