Basic inconvenient platform for sitters. Threatening vindictive unfriendly customer service. Very high deductions from the rates for sitters.

Hi there, we are sorry you had a bad experience. We do not have a record of this complaint that we can connect back to a customer. If you would kindly reach out to our Customer Service team, we can assist you. Warm regards Jack Pawshake Support
Oppas geboekt en betaald, zelfs kennismaking heeft plaatsgevonden. Oppas heeft kort voor onze vakantie afgezegd. Pawshake is niet bereikbaar en reageert niet op contactformulier of bericht via Insta. Geen aanrader dus…

Dag Annemarie, wat vervelend dat je oppas heeft geannuleerd. Gelukkig was het een maand van te voren waardoor er nog meer dan genoeg tijd was om een nieuwe oppas te benaderen. Pawshake heeft via de klantendienst direct uitgebreid contact met je gehad en alternatieve oppassers aan je voorgesteld. Ook hebben we het geld van de boeking direct teruggestort. Uiteraard is Pawshake altijd bereikbaar en beschikbaar om te helpen om een oplossing te vinden. Jack Pawshake Support
Non c'è un modo per segnalare un profilo e nemmeno un modo per contattare un servizio clienti! Sono una dogsitter e mi ha contattato un maniaco via l'app, ho cercato il numero e più ragazze hanno avuto lo stesso problema. Dovete fare più controlli anche sulle persone che richiedono il servizio, non solo sui dogsitter. Come dogsitter bisogna avere foto e info etc per essere approvati invece chi ha un animale non deve mettere informazioni. E assurdo che non posso segnalare un profilo di una persone pericolosa!

Ci dispiace molto per l'accaduto, tuttavia, il nostro team ha sospeso l'utente appena abbiamo saputo. La nostra assistenza è raggiungibile in qualsiasi momento tramite il Centro Assistenza sul sito e su app Saluti Supporto Pawshake
Abysmal customer service, absolutely shocking! We have gone above and beyond with our services to others with nothing but 5* reviews. Had our account deleted for offering someone a discount. Absolutely no warning whatsoever, just deleted. They won’t even respond to our messages. Don’t waste your time with this company, use Rover instead!

Hi Kyle, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! We cannot find any correspondence from you in our system. Could you please contact us through our contact form on the website so we can discuss this with you? Please note - it is against our terms and conditions to take payments outside of the Pawshake platform whilst using the Pawshake website to promote an external business. It's critical for us to protect the pets being cared for on our platform, and without booking through Pawshake, you and the pet are not covered in case of accident or illness. Warm regards, Jack Pawshake support
ero una loro operatrice. mi hanno sospeso il conto perchè non riuscivano a risolvere un problema al mio account. dopo ben 20 mails, con screenshots, spiegazioni del problema: nulla. non sono in grado di sistemare nulla. per di più si prendono una grandissima percentuale sui nostri pagamenti. non la consiglio.

Ciao Marisol, Siamo molto dispiaciuti che tu abbia avuto un'esperienza frustrante. I nostri agenti del servizio clienti sono pronti ad assistere. Si prega di inviare le informazioni richieste. Jack Servizio Clienti Pawshake
As a sitter, I unwittingly violated one of their rules and got my profile eradicated almost immediately by their team, without giving me a chance to explain myself. They didn't bother to give me an explanation either. All these years, letting them take 20% off my fees, lead to this. I am beyond shocked and speechless. These people treat you like nothing once they think you are disposable. A horrible company.

Hi, I am very sorry you had this experience. We have very strict standards for behaviour and terms of service on Pawshake. The reason for this is for the safety of the pets on our website. We hope you understand and all the best with your future pet sitting endeavours. Kind Regards Jack Pawshake Customer Service
Don’t trust this company to find sitters to look after your furry friends. I booked with a lady ,then the lady called me saying she couldnt look after my dog . In her profile showed up it was at her house,but it turned out it was at her office . We meet up ,I collected my dog ,but then when I asked for the money back ,she denied. Plus she was waiting with two her friends or colleagues outside which became aggressive towards me,including a black lady who was yelling at me . Her names are Eva en Elise . Pawshake does not give the option to cancel ,request a refund or even a customer service email. That day,I called the police ,I felt scared and didn’t know what to do. If you love your dog,do not do Pawshake

This sounds like a very alarming situation. I cannot see your ticket on our customer support system. Please email us on our contact form and we will get back to you. Kind Regards Jack Pawshake Customer Service
I have contacted so many sitters and everyone says they are not available during the requested dates although their calendar shows they are available or they say my house is too far although the distance is only like 20 kms from their place and I'm requesting for a house sitting service for 5 continuous days. PawShake should bring some process around this to ensure the sitters ensure to update their calendar and max distance they can service.
