"Kristen is a fantastic cat sitter! I left my cat, Ella, in her care for six days, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Kristen was attentive and thoughtful, providing regular updates and photos showing how Ella was gradually warming up to her. What impressed me most was how quickly Kristen built trust with Ella, who can be shy with new people.
At the start of the visits, Ella was cautious and stayed under the bed, but Kristen patiently gained her trust with treats and gentle interactions. By the end of the week, Ella was confidently approaching Kristen, rubbing against her hand, and even sitting nearby while eating—clear signs that Kristen made her feel safe and comfortable. Kristen's updates were detailed and reassuring, highlighting the progress in their bond each day. It was heartwarming to see Ella so relaxed and happy.
Kristen also showed great attention to detail and care for my home. She ensured Ella was well-fed and that her space was clean and comfortable. When she realized she had left one of Ella’s dishes soaking in the sink, she promptly let me know and apologized—a small but meaningful sign of her professionalism.
I highly recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and skilled cat sitter. Ella and I are so grateful for her care, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!"

"Dawn, without question, has become our legendary go-to superhero pet sitter.
We would recommend her, without hesitation, for any booking she agrees to handle for you.
My wife Janis and I are retirees with 2 very different cats. Luke is somewhat shy but makes friends quickly and has a reasonably easy disposition. At the opposite end of the behavioral spectrum, we have Kende, who is extremely shy and skittish, requires once daily medication, a special diet, daily monitoring of litter box activities, and takes a very, very long time to establish a trust relationship with new people. He was a rescue cat, so his hesitant behavior is not a complete surprise to us.
Our first encounter with Dawn was to enlist her pet sitting services for a quick 3-day trip out of town to attend a funeral for an aunt. The final duration of the trip was quite uncertain due to the unpredictable extreme winter weather.
We were very grateful for Dawn's quick response and enthusiasm, despite us having provided her with very short notice for our request. At our meet and greet we met with her and almost knew instantly that we were very lucky to have made such a perfect choice. (She did not get to see both cats on this introductory visit, as they had both run to hide when a new voice was heard in the house).
A day or so later, Dawn began her visits and stayed in touch with us each day with an update, videos, and a few notes. It was immediately obvious that Kende was going to be a challenge, as expected, but Dawn demonstrated she was indeed up to the task. Luke was warming up very quickly, and Dawn was still careful to give both cats appropriate attention and understanding. Feedings, administering of meds, and litter monitoring went smoothly despite Kende's brief appearances.
On the 2nd or 3rd day of the trip, we requested an extension of 3 additional days to visit family further away yet, and Dawn accommodated us without hesitation. (Notwithstanding, we were again lucky that her calendar schedule could accommodate us). Unlike many would-be pet sitters, Dawn has demonstrated to us that she is very well organized and leverages today's technologies such as cell phone messaging and videos, internet emails and Interac bank transfers, and does so in a professionally organized manner. (Without such handling skills, the tools provided by Pawshake and other similar services would be ineffective).
Our trip proceeded without further incident and the weather co-operated with our extend travel plans. Through Dawn's persistent, careful, and dedicated loving attention, Kende now has a new and trusted caregiver. Lukey Luke was also very happy with the care Dawn provided for him throughout our absence, although is now probably a bit jealous that he needs to share Dawn's visiting times with Kende too.
Such things are probably not often thought about or shared publicly, among those of us that care so deeply for our pets, but it should be recognized that we all deserve some time away from our pets for our own family priorities and peace of mind.
The only way that this can be done without unnecessary guilt or stress while away is to leave your pets in the care of someone you can deeply trust, and who shares your own values and love for animals. Dawn is that person for us. We are sure that you will find that you can trust and depend on her in the way that we do.

"This is the first time I booked a cat sitter & I was a little stressed about it to be honest, but Sarah’s genuine & friendly personality put me at ease and, and I was very happy with Sarah’s level of care. She is an excellent and reliable cat sitter. Her daily communication was 10/10, she went above and beyond, and she met my kitties where they were at and respected their boundaries. They were very happy and relaxed when I returned. I highly recommend her services! "

"In short: Kody saved my cat's life while I was away.
I had to stay abroad to deal with a family funeral, and Kody was the sitter during that period. My cat, who is diabetic, got sick and needed urgent care. Kody took the job extremely seriously and drove my cat to the emergency room. It was revealed later on during that week that my cat suffered from pancreatitis as well, possibly due to his diabetes. Without Kody being here and taking care of my cat, I honestly do not know what would have happened. Kody still went to visit my cat at the hospital to give him company. His help was literally invaluable."

"Zoé is full of energy and love for our puppy and older dog. She also has tonnes of experience from working at a doggy daycare so seems to be able to anticipate and address all sorts of adjustment issues that she has seen develop in older dogs when not addressed earlier, then need work to overcome. She is helping our two dog household manage siblings who will hopefully get along well for years to come, nipping little habits early. We are grateful for Zoé's dedication, flexibility and helpfulness. "

"Karina was excellent,
my cat took to her immediately and showed up for most visits during my absence (which is no guarantee). I got lots of communication and updates, some playtime and cuddling included. Upon my return, I found my cat well-fed and in a good mood.
I will book Karina again and can recommend her."

"Brittany was absolutely awesome!!! She was able to look after my 2 cats last minute, and met with us that same day. She genuinely does care about my cats and pointed out what could be an ailment to one of them while we were away (during our daily communication). It is obvious once you meet Brittany she is well versed in pet sitting and care, down to the very last detail. Upon return, the cat areas were very clean upon, as with the rest of the house.😊 And watered my outdoor plants too. I HIGHLY recommend Brittany. She is well worth the money, and would hire her back in a heartbeat."

Why cat sitting ?
Many cat owners will understand that cats can be fussy and prefer their own home environment rather than an unfamiliar place like a cattery or cat hotel. Although some cats can adapt to cat boarding if they have to, most cats become stressed when transported somewhere new.
This is where a friendly Rideau Park Pawshake cat feeder or carer can help. Our Rideau Park cat sitting expert can come and visit your cat while you are away on holiday or at work. A cat sitter can even stay overnight if required, which is far less stressful than sending your feline friend to a cattery for cat boarding. Whether you just need a sitter for a couple of hours or someone to visit each day for a week, our Rideau Park cat sitters can tailor their service to suit you and please even the fussiest kitty.
Although most cats are independent, having a cat carer visit has a lot of benefits. Your chosen Pawshake cat sitter can feed, freshen up the water bowl, tidy the litter tray, and spend quality time with your cat. And unlike a cattery or cat hotel, your cat can chill out in their own familiar space.
Finally, every booking with Pawshake is with a verified carer and includes the Pawshake Guarantee and veterinary coverage, so you have nothing to worry about when it comes to your feline companion!
