Pawshake

Pawshake is a global pet sitting community operating in over 15 countries. It connects pet owners with verified locals for dog walking, home boarding, and house sitting. Pawshake focuses on providing a personal alternative to kennels, ensuring pets stay in a home environment.

Sitters create a profile, set their rates, and choose their services. The platform offers "The Pawshake Guarantee," which includes insurance for veterinary coverage during the booking. It is a legitimate gig platform for animal lovers to monetize their caregiving skills with a strong support network.
