User reviews

easy to use and amend

I'm a pet sitter, this app is easy to use and amend, it helps me reach a number of clients and little animals (love)

Awful AI

Genuinely the most horrific and invasive ai system that reviews your photos, profile picture and bio and takes out your individuality to make a sanitised complacent and corporate friendly slop profile. This app is not what it used to be and I do not recommend using it anymore.

Glitching

I installed it wanting to become a pet sister, it was extremely glitching from the start. When I wanted to put my details (name etc) my keyboard wasn’t showing up at all and I’ve left the app couple times thinking it’s just a one time thing. I put email and password and when I clicked continue, it kept showing me 4 times to put email and password again and started glitching.

Decent but needs a ton of work

The platform itself is good but they don’t put in any effort to have sitters update their profiles for their actual schedules or for sitters to have accurate information. You will spend hours contacting sitters who say they are available but aren’t actually.

Dog sitter had a psychotic break, ruined our vacation, and Pawshake kept their profile online

In theory this is a great app. In practice, our second ever sitter ended up having a psychotic break, sending over 400 extremely vile racist, homophobic and generally insane texts in the span of an evening. She wouldn’t stop and wouldn’t show us a picture of our dog to show she was ok, and started talking about human sacrifice, so We had to organize an emergency pick up at midnight in the middle of our vacation.

Needless to say it ruined our trip. We reported the profile and Pawshake suspended it briefly. But less than a month later we went back on the app and saw the exact same profile was active again. What’s worse, they wouldn’t let us leave a review to warn others, and didn’t even respond when we emailed them to complain.

There are plenty of great dog sitters on Pawshake. But there are also racist, mentally unstable people that the app knowingly allows to watch your pets. So my best advice is be careful.
