About Pawshake
What is Pawshake?
Pawshake is an online platform that connects pet parents with friendly, reliable, and vetted pet sitters.
Pawshake is perfect for pet parents who have to go away, need someone to drop in to check on their pet while they are at work, or take their dog for a sniff around the block. Whatever their pet requires, Pawshake has got a pet-loving sitter for the request.
Pawshake is a better alternative to dog boarding kennels or catteries. Pawshake pet sitters offer loving home environments and treat guest pets just like family. This means that pets get plenty of attention, and any of the services can be tailored just for them.
Founded in 2013, Pawshake believes in providing pet parents with friendly, reliable, and affordable pet care. We aim to make it easy for pet parents to find and book a sitter in their neighborhood. Services that are available include home dog boarding, doggy day care, drop-in visits, house sitting, and dog walking.
Payments are held securely by Pawshake until the booking is complete. Pet parents can also leave a review at the end of each booking to share their experience with other pet parents. All bookings are covered by the Pawshake guarantee, which includes free veterinary coverage, happiness guarantee, booking guarantee, and 24/7 online customer support.
Bookings can also be made using the iOS and Android app. Our key investors include Airtree Ventures and e-merge.
Pawshake is one of the fastest-growing tech companies and is a pioneer in the sharing economy. Our leadership comes from eBay, Gumtree, and Kijiji.
