"Can’t appreciate April enough! Helped us last minute and April was really communicative from the off. I instantly knew on the meeting our kitty cats were in safe hands and the pictures April sent was evidence of our cats not missing us even a tiny bit! Thank you April!"

"Our rescue pet Molly was very happy with Lauren. She looked after all her needs and sent us detailed reports at every walk. We found our pet very relaxed and happy at our return and very bonded with a Lauren. Planning and communication was easy and Lauren was lovely to work with. We were very worried about leaving our recently rescued dog but she was in the best hands. "

"We were very worried about leaving our anxious rescue dog but we need not have been and i think our dog would have been happy for us to be away longer. Francesca knew how to cope with an anxious dog and they both settled in our house, going out and about for walks, to secure fields and introducing her own dogs, also keeping in touch with us sending plenty of photos of daily activities. We can highly recommend Francesca and won't hesitate to book her again."

"Cassie and Lucy took excellent care of my elderly dog, my cat, and my house! They even dealt with a boiler crisis while I was away in a different time zone, helping to resolve it before I returned. My pets have special needs, and it's hard to find such conscientious sitters. I will definitely be relying on them to petsit again."

"Jasmine is a wonderful dog sitter who took great care of our furry friend. She was attentive, reliable, and friendly. She made sure he was comfortable and happy. She also followed our instructions and preferences regarding his feeding, playing, and napping schedule. We highly recommend Jasmine to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. She is amazing and we can't wait to use her again. "

"I would just like to thank Cass and her partner Sam for taking care whilst sitting for our shih tzu Phoebe. Phoebe is the kind of dog that does not like change after having 11 years of upset, but we found that Cass and Sam were absolutely amazing with her, they house sat for 2 days to keep Phoebe in her own environment and I can’t thank them enough for looking after her, I would definitely recommend Cass to anybody who is unsure about leaving their baby whilst they go away, she did an amazing job.

"Alice was an absolute lifesaver, stepping in to house sit for my cat and large dog on short notice over the holidays for two weeks. She was fantastic! From the very beginning, her communication was top-notch. During our meet and greet, she took the time to properly introduce our dogs, as I didn't mind to let her dog stay over if they got along. Throughout her stay, Alice provided daily updates with pictures and videos, which was incredibly reassuring. She went above and beyond, especially when unexpected delays extended my return. I can't thank her enough for her flexibility and support. Despite having two dogs who love muddy adventures, the house was spotless when I returned, just as I had left it. I highly recommend Alice for her exceptional care and dedication."

Why house sitting ?

Are you going away but have a pet that prefers to stay in their own environment? Or perhaps you have a range of different animals and it’s not practical for you to organise for them to stay in different places? Then you might want to consider finding a Pawshake house sitter to come and stay at your Melbourne home while you are away.

House sitting is a convenient and affordable option when you have multiple pets and also want your house to be securely looked after while you are away. Many of our pet sitters have very reasonable house sitting rates because they enjoy staying and exploring different local neighbourhoods like Melbourne.

At Pawshake, we understand that trusting your home to a stranger can be a little daunting. So we’ve done all the hard work to ensure that your Pawshake house sitter is trustworthy and reliable. All our pet sitter profiles are checked individually by our dedicated trust and safety team and some house sitters also have their own police checks which they can share with you.

The best thing about engaging a Pawshake verified house sitter is that you can relax knowing that on top of being covered by The Pawshake Guarantee which includes veterinary coverage, so your pets are being cared for in a familiar environment and your Melbourne home is also being looked after as well.

In addition to looking after your pets, most of our house sitters will happily help you by collecting your mail, taking out the bins, and watering your plants. Just make sure you discuss all your requirements with your chosen house sitter prior to booking.

Pet owners book house sitting in Melbourne on Pawshake. Over 343 pet owners in Melbourne have left a review, with an average of 4.98/5. All paid safely using Maestro, Visa, Mastercard, American Express
