It's not just about features - it's about values
Pawshake is built on volume; we are built on value. On DogLovers.co, you aren't just a "customer ID." You are a member of a local network of dog owners and sitters who actually know each other.
Pawshake takes a massive cut from every booking. We believe the person doing the hard work—walking, feeding, and cuddling your dog—deserves to keep more of what they earn. By choosing us, you support local sitters, not offshore corporate offices.
Looking for a quick walk? Sure, we have that. But DogLovers.co is also where you find playdates, breed-specific advice, and a community that celebrates your dog's birthday with you. It's a 365-day experience, not just a holiday booking.

"I switched from Pawshake because I was tired of paying massive fees. On DogLovers, I found a sitter who lives two blocks away and now she's like family. My golden retriever Max gets excited just seeing her car!"

"Pawshake felt so impersonal - just another transaction. DogLovers connected me with a community of actual dog lovers. We now organize weekend playdates and it's transformed my beagle Luna's social life."

"As a provider, Pawshake was taking 19% of my earnings. That's huge! On DogLovers, I keep more of what I earn and I've built genuine relationships with the families I work with. It's not just business anymore."
