"Hands down the best pet sitter ever!I cannot recommend Aiye enough! She watched our four furbabies—our two big dogs (Anika and Bentley) and our two cats (Kobi and Aki)—from July 15th to 21st while we were away in Bali for our wedding.
Leaving our pets for a trip that huge was super stressful, but Aiye gave me complete peace of mind. She sent photos and videos every single day, was always super easy to reach, and answered any texts right away. Seeing those updates while away was such a massive relief.From our very first meetup, all four of our pets clicked with her instantly. She genuinely loved them, picked up on their little personalities right away, and catered to their every need.She followed our routine to a T! Managing our setup isn't simple. Our dogs are outdoors only and our cats are strictly indoors. She handled feeding perfectly, keeping our big food-thief Anika over in the car porch area while Bentley got to take his sweet time eating on the decking. She also looked after the cats' feeder, water, and litter without missing a beat. Aiye goes SO far above and beyond. At one point, our youngest cat Aki decided to hide behind the TV. Aiye spent her entire visit searching for him to make sure he was okay. I literally told her she could go home and I’d just check our indoor cameras later to see when he came out, but she refused to leave until she actually found him herself! She left the house absolutely spotless. We adore her and her husband so much that we told them to help themselves to drinks and snacks and kick back with the TV while visiting.To be honest, I trust her with my pets when I don't even feel comfortable leaving them with family (besides my sister!). I will 100% be hiring her every single time we travel from now on. You truly couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with your animals!"

"Seeun was an exceptional cat sitter. She is knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely caring, and took wonderful care of our cat, Luna, with daily visits over three weeks.
She was always reliable and communicated consistently, sending us plenty of photos and updates each day. Luna quickly became comfortable with Seeun and clearly loved the attention and care she received. Seeing their photos together gave us great peace of mind while we were away.
When we returned, Luna was happy and well cared for, and our home was spotless. We’re so grateful to have found Seeun, and we’ve already rebooked her for our next trip. We highly recommend Seeun to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter."

"Jessie and Calvin were lovely and took great care of my cats, Charlie and Peanut! They sent me photos and updates every time they visited, which was really nice and reassuring while I was away. I really appreciate them taking the time to keep me updated and make sure my cats were doing well. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
Thanks again Jessie and Calvin! "

"This was my first time arranging a stranger to care for my cats and I couldn’t be happier with the service Claire provided. When I met her I could tell there was nothing to worry about. She is friendly and a great communicator. I can tell she really loves cats,too. My cats are usually quite shy but warmed to her quickly. When I got home from a short trip out of Melbourne my apartment was just as I left it. I would definitely recommend choosing Claire for your next pet sitter :)"

"To say Elena is one of the best is an understatement. She simply IS the best. I discovered Paw Shake and by extension Elena’s outstanding reviews when looking
for at-home cat feeding/care while I was overseas for 2.5 weeks. After contacting her through the site, Elena promptly replied and we soon set up a first meeting to see my cat's environment and for us all to meet each other. Elena is a gentle and kind person. As a mother-mother and a cat mother herself, as well as someone who works in childcare, she has the best qualities for this job. However she exceeded my expectations on every level. She visited daily while I was away, not only feeding and cleaning feeding bowls etc, but she played with, entertained, cleaned out the litter. But then also took the time to write detailed reports supported by numerous photos and videos. The time she spent made my cat happy, stimulated and allowed her to remain in a perfect routine. I wholeheartedly trust Elena in my home, and to look after anyone's pet. I encourage you, if you are reading this review, to book Elena now, especially so if you are a cat owner. I'll be forever grateful of the care, time and love she has given my darling cat. If I could give her an 11 out of 10 rating, I would!"

"I can’t recommend Jo highly enough for cat sitting.
Jo looked after Constance while I was away for a long weekend, and she did a fantastic job under what turned out to be some very challenging circumstances. When Constance decided that the automatic feeder wasn’t dispensing kibble quickly enough for her liking, she simply knocked the whole thing over and helped herself to a buffet! Jo went above and beyond, collecting all the scattered kibble and carefully putting it back into the feeder.
She also made sure Connie had her wet food and everything else she needed. Of course, greedy little Connie probably wasn’t all that hungry after gorging herself on the contents of the toppled feeder! While I lost sleep worrying about her, it’s safe to say Constance slept very well with a full belly.
It was wonderful coming home to a clean litter tray and knowing that someone trustworthy had been in my apartment. Jo respectfully collected my keys from the concierge of a very large building, looked after everything without any fuss, and returned the keys afterwards. She also sent photos and updates so I could see that the naughty girl was happy, healthy and thoroughly enjoying her unexpected feast.
Thank you, Jo. I look forward to having you look after Connie again in the future, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and professional cat sitter."

"Carolina helped me to take care my cat in early May, she is patient, reliable and has a great communication skills. While I was away, Carolina makes sure my cat has a good care, she sent my pics of my cat and communicated with me in a detailed way.
Carolina is also very flexible which is great for someone who is looking for an urgent care for their furry baby.
I strongly recommend Carolina and will book her next time 🙂🙂"

"Emma is everything we were after from a pet sitter to look after our cats. She cared for them well and communicated clearly. She also managed to get our more nervous cat to come out for pats (which is no easy feat for someone new). We will definitely ask Emma to sit for us again if she stays in the business!

/dayFrequently asked questions about cat sitting
Your cat sitting questions answered
How is cat sitting different from a cattery?
Your cat won't ever have to experience the discomfort of a cage or the fear of being around unfamiliar sights and sounds with Pawshake. They stay at home, and our cat sitters will come to you to provide their services.
Are there cat sitters in all suburbs of Melbourne?
You will find a cat sitter no matter where you live in Melbourne: we have hundreds of keen cat lovers who are eager to help you out. Simply visit us on our website or the Pawshake app and have a look in your neighbourhood. We have you covered.
Is it safe to book a cat sitter?
This is a very safe service to book, as your cat doesn't even need to leave their own home. If they do happen to get ill or injured, The Pawshake Guarantee will cover your veterinary bills. And if you need to find a replacement sitter, we will always help you out too.
How much will a cat sitter cost?
Cat sitters on Pawshake choose their prices. This might change between sitters, depending on how far in Melbourne your cat sitter needs to travel to reach you, or how full their schedule is (the summer holidays can be super busy). You won't find any hidden costs on Pawshake.
