Ik boek regelmatig een oppas voor onze hond via Pawshake. Het platform werkt goed, en de oppassers zijn over het algemeen super. In de grote steden is voldoende aanbod. Helaas wat minder aanbod buiten de stad. Wat ook jammer is, is dat de oppassers vaak hun prijzen snel verhogen na de eerste paar keer oppassen. Zo beginnen ze vaak rond 15-18 euro maar na een tijdje kan dat oplopen naar 35,-. Dat vind ik wel jammer want dan zoek ik toch liever een andere oppas maar dan heb je weinig continuïteit. Ook stoppen veel oppassers na een tijdje of zijn ze “tijdelijk niet beschikbaar”.

the company sets expectations well and guided me through finding the sitter, providing accurate and complete details about the sitter and the home, scheduling a meet and greet prior to booking, and booking. our dogs were happy and healthy at the end of the booking. a few small notes: 1. you cannot alter a booking, only cancel, which makes for awkward tracking when you want to add a day to the reservation. 2. there's no booking list so you have to dig through your messages to find the details of your bookings. this gets complicated if you have more than a couple bookings scheduled. it would be nice to have a separate area that lists the booking requests and the status of each. 3. they recommend to communicate solely through Pawshake, which is honestly not feasible when someone is dogsitting. numbers should be exchanged in case of emergency. there should reasonable be guidelines around what to keep in Pawshake (money transactions, agreements on dates, etc.) and what can go through personal phones (emergency calls, cute dog photo updates, etc.)

Die App ist verbesserungswürdig, deswegen einen Punkt Abzug. Ansonsten nur gute Erfahrungen gemacht.

I see a lot of reviews from the pet owners site so here my two cents as a petsitter. Overall, the app works quite well and has allowed me to find dogs in my city to petsit. The platform takes a cut of 19% of your fee, which is quite steep. The insurance covers any vet bills you may have and damage to third parties, but if a dog chews up your couch, you're not protected. Also, it allows pet owners to review you, but you cannot see reviews of the dogs or their owners. Pawshake also asks you as a petsitter to make an elaborate profile, while the owners profiles are usually empty. In general, i've had good experiences but also get a lot of spammy messages on a daily basis, or messages from owners who clearly don't read profiles (i.e. asking me to watch their two husky's while my profile clearly states i live in a 40sq metre apartment and only take small breeds).

Credo che questa sia un'idea molto utile, soprattutto per chi non ha una rete familiare che possa aiutare a prendersi cura degli animali. Mi ha permesso - anche all'ultimo momento - di trovare catsitter premurose e responsabili. Nel mio caso di house sitting, non posso garantire con certezza quanto tempo il/la cat sitter passi a casa, ma comunque il mio gatto stava bene e ricevevo foto e info. Buona anche la possibilità di copertura assicurativa in caso di "danni" agli animali (spese veterinarie) e alla casa (furti): fortunatamente non ho dovuto provarla, ma spero esista davvero.

goede opvang en fijn voor ons hondje, Goed video's en foto's doorgestuurd zodat we gerust van de vakantie konden genieten

It took two attempts with the first sitter confirming availability but then not, the second ready to make introduction but then going silent. With the third we found the perfect cat sitter. The site is easy to navigate and Pawshake take care of the administration and payment.

Site très clair et sérieux pour trouver une personne de confiance pour garder son animal.
