Top cities for cat sitting in Australia

Many cat owners will understand that cats can be fussy and prefer their own home environment rather than an unfamiliar place like a cattery or cat hotel. Although some cats can adapt to cat boarding if they have to, most cats become stressed when transported somewhere new.

This is where a friendly Adelaide SA Pawshake cat feeder or carer can help. Our Adelaide SA cat sitting expert can come and visit your cat while you are away on holiday or at work. A cat sitter can even stay overnight if required, which is far less stressful than sending your feline friend to a cattery for cat boarding. Whether you just need a sitter for a couple of hours or someone to visit each day for a week, our Adelaide SA cat sitters can tailor their service to suit you and please even the fussiest kitty.

Although most cats are independent, having a cat carer visit has a lot of benefits. Your chosen Pawshake cat sitter can feed, freshen up the water bowl, tidy the litter tray, and spend quality time with your cat. And unlike a cattery or cat hotel, your cat can chill out in their own familiar space.

Finally, every booking with Pawshake is with a verified carer and includes the Pawshake Guarantee and veterinary coverage, so you have nothing to worry about when it comes to your feline companion!

A bit of background on me: After driving my parents crazy by constantly showing up at home with a new animal in need of a loving home, I decided to make the move from South Africa to Adelaide to pursue my passion for animal care in 2019. I have since earned a Bachelor of Science in Animal Behaviour and a Certificate III in Dog Behaviour, Psychology and Training.&nbsp;
I've had many different types of pets over my 26 years, and am well versed in handling and caring for all dogs, cats, birds, rodents and reptiles (even the biiig snakes). 
Though I am new to Pawshake, I am certainly not new to the world of pet sitting. I have gained valuable experience working as a pet sitter and doggy daycare attendant for a local business.
Unfortunately, I currently reside in a small apartment, which means I can't have pets of my own or provide boarding services. Pet sitting allows me to provide the innate love and care I've always had for animals to other people's pets, while also helping owners in need of a reliable and experienced sitter.
In addition, in case of an emergency or necessary medical treatment I am also able to provide

  Pet first aid, including CPR
  Transport to a veterinarian
  Safe administration of most pet medications, including injections

I'm happy to discuss any special requirements or requests that you may have, and will always try my best to cater to these. I'm flexible with my time and am usually available at short notice.
My goal is to build trusted and ongoing relationships with all my clients – both human and furry!

Hi I'm Stephie, I'm a loyal pet lover  and all my life I have lived with and cared for them, I have cared for large and small breeds, your furry friend will be very safe and cared for in my hands and above all will receive lots of love ️
I am available from Monday to Friday from 6am to 4pm because I am a student. All day on weekends. Within my services I can administer oral medication to pets and teach them various tricks  Feed the pet as necessary. Pets are kept in hygienic conditions: any dirt is cleaned from the pet and the owner is informed of any signs of illness or injury. The length of my home visits depends on how much the owner needs me, the minimum is half an hour. The duration of the walks is half an hour. In 24-hour housekeeping and in all services I can also water the plants. 

Hey there! Let me introduce myself – I'm a total pet enthusiast with a bustling household that includes 5 quirky cats and one adorable dog. For the past 3 years, I've been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family, so you can say I've got some pawsitively awesome experiences under my belt! Although I don't have a place of my own now I won't be able to pet sit at my place but I'm all up to do it at the pet's house. I understand the profound bond between pets and their owners. I recognize that your furry, feathered, or scaly friends are not just pets but cherished family members. To provide them with the love, care, and attention they deserve while you're not around is not just a job for me; it's a passion. Every pet is special, and I take the time to understand their unique personalities and needs. Whether they need an energetic playtime or just a quiet lap to curl up on, I'm here to provide the companionship and care they require. Choosing me as your pet sitter means entrusting your beloved pets to a dedicated, responsible, and passionate caregiver. I'm excited about the opportunity to build lasting relationships with both you and your pets. Please don't hesitate to get in touch so we can discuss how I can tailor my services to suit your pet's specific needs and give you the reassurance you need while you're away. Your pets' happiness and well-being are my top priorities.

Hello, everyone! My friends call me Cady. I am 32 years old and I have just arrived in Australia.&nbsp;
Currently living in Adelaide since middle of January and I would love to work in contact with animals, whether it is taking care of them in their homes, go for a walk, playing with them, etc.
I am full available and flexible with the working hours so I can spend as much as you need with your pets, including overnight sitter. Also I have my own car and I could go to your home, pick up your pet and give it a ride or a walk in some park or place you recommend me :)
Usually I make one hour walks with dogs and I could do it with 2 dogs at once if it's necessary.
Sadly I can't have pets at my home since is not allowed in the apartamet :(
Animals are friends to me, not just pets. They are companions and we have much to learn from the purity of their love.
I would like to be able to adopt an animal but I can't since I have been moving in a lot the last years around diferent countries, which makes it impossible for me :(  But I really miss the contact with them, the caresses, their antics and the warmth they give.
Unfortunally I don't have any reviews on my profile because it's the first time I'm using this app in Australia, but I have experience, both having my own pets and caring/passing others. I gain their trust quickly 
I can follow all the recommendations or requirements that you tell me for the care of your pet.&nbsp;
Happy to spread my love 


Hi! I'm Carlotta, I’m coming from Italy and I am here in Adelaide as an exchange student for a semester. I study marketing and I’m in my last year of university. When I’m not studying, I have plenty of free time and I really like dogs and walks - unfortunately my dog is in Italy - so why not taking care of somebody else’s dog or cat?!&nbsp;&nbsp;
I can help you manage your time and take care of your pet(s) while spending some valuable time with a furry friend. As I mentioned, I have a dog – Rocco – back in Italy, he is a mix between an Australian shepherd and a Border collie. I am pretty familiar with dogs and I know how to handle them, groom them and even administer medicine. But I’m not forgetting cats, I used to have one few years ago and I often take care of them for my friends when they are away.&nbsp;&nbsp;
I pay maximum respect to your animals and I’m very responsible, in fact I will be happy to organize a meetand greet with your pet before taking care of them, just to get to know each other. I’m pretty fluent with English so langue barriers won’t be a problem. Since I live in a rented apartment, I cannot take dogs to my house butI will be more than happy to offer the following services:&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dog walks: long or short (tell me where your dog likes to go and I’ll bring him/her there!)&nbsp;
Home visits: once or twice a day I can come to your house to check that everything is ok andgive your pet(s) food. I can water plants if needed!&nbsp;&nbsp;
Pick up/drop off your pet at day care or other places (not too far because I don’t have a car)&nbsp;

I am available almost all days, especially during weekdays, check my calendar to see current slots.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Hope to meet your furry friends soon 

Hi, my name is chloe and I have an imense passion for working with animals and I approach every animal with love, open mindedness and kindness. I am currently a final year veterinary medicine student. Through my profession and studies I always strive to provide an excellent and compassionate interaction with all veterinary patients. This mentality extends to pawshake clients too. I am able to do home visits and medicate any pets who require it including injectable or oral medications. 
We currently have a mini dachshund who is blind and am open to also working with pets who need an extra bit of help and patience. At this time I unfortunately cannot provide care at our family home as our dog is adjusting to becoming blind due to SARDS and apologise if this causes any inconvenience. However, at a time when we can offer dog sitting again at our house; our family home is securely fenced and is of a large size. We also have a pool however, it is fully closed off so your pet will not be at any risk. 
I would love to offer services such as going to your house to care for your furry friend, or offer them walking. Please do not hesitate to get in contact with me. Please keep in mind I am also a full time veterinary student on final year rotations, so there may be times I am unavailable and apologise for any inconvenience but would love to try work with you and your pup/kitty to find times which work for you!

hello! I'm Micaela, I really love animals. Currently living in Henley Beach , I have flexible working hours so I have a lot of availability.
I joined pet shake because I really enjoy being with dogs and cats, and currently the conditions do not allow me to have my own. So I have a lot of love to give them, and it's a good way to take daily walks. I'm happy to visit your pets if you need that, play with them and customize the visits according to their personality.
In addition to the usual tasks such as cleaning their spaces, changing their water and feeding them, I am happy to do additional tasks such as collecting the mail, taking out the bins and watering the plants.
I have experience taking care of pets, walking dogs and cats, basic behavior training and I quickly build relationships with they. 
I know that it can be stressful and worrying to leave your pet with someone, but I would make sure to constantly send photos/videos of your pet to show that they are being treated correctly. 
do not hesitate to ask or request what you need! and thank you for your time 

I am a Mum of two beautiful girls 11 and 9, I also am Mum to a 4 year old stag hound Cross Bull arab, and a one year old Staffy X Bull Arab. We spend alot of our days at the dog park. Ive had dogs my whole life, I actually believe if you dont like dogs are you even a good person? Yes I know that's mean but seriously who doesn't love a dog, the puppy eyes, the excitement, the cheeky personalities and attitudes plus all that smooching and loving &nbsp;
I have two cats, one hates the world, one just uses me for food. I love them both as much as they love me, which some days isn't alot but some days I could just squish them with my love. Also grew up with Cats since childhood, had so many and at one time we had four .
Same as my kids  ^ ^ . Love to hate me, hate to love me. They also adore animals, often far too much, sharing food, love and licks with them 
I work in the Disability sector and look after two beautiful pooches for my Participants, walking them for 1 hour and another for two hours on each of my shifts, they love me, of course I'm the lady who walks them but I revel in their excitement to see me 
I've been doing Disability care for 3 years almost and have a lovely bond for all my Pooches.&nbsp;
I am consistent,  trustworthy and always arrive when I say I will.&nbsp;
My work ethic is based on Manners, respect, time management and most of all caring and loving the work I do whether it's personal care, cleaning up or walking a dog.&nbsp;
Dogs are something I've always wanted to work with and now I get this plus I get to help those who trust me to be their support. I love this part of my daily life.&nbsp;
I am happy to take Dogs for walks for 1 hour and will take them local to your area for walking, local ovals for ball throwing. If you prefer beach or other area then this can be discussed.&nbsp;
I am happy to pop in and feed your pooch or feline and also spend a bit of time with them, we can watch a movie or chill in the yard for a while. I can feed them for you and also will clean up any messes.&nbsp;
I cannot offer in home care as I have two dogs, and two cats and you can never tell if personalities will clash. I also cannot offer any long term overnight care due to family commitments and my other work as a carer.&nbsp;


I've recently moved from Ireland to Australia, which means I unfortunately cannot have my pets with me. I have so much love in me for a pet and I want to give that love to the pets of SA!
I have a BSc degree in Veterinary Nursing and I also grew up on a farm surrounded my animals both large and small. I have had cats, dogs, fish and rabbits as my own pets and I've worked with chickens, turkeys and cows on my farm. In my experience from vet nursing I have worked with snakes, small birds, turtles, iguanas and cats and dogs both big and small breeds.
I have experience working with a lot of different animals in all shapes and sizes and if you choose me as your pet sitter, I will always give 100% to the animal I am caring for. I know just how much people's pets mean to them and I want to make sure that when their favourite people in the world aren't there, I can be there.
I am available to come to your home and stay over night for how ever many days necessary. I am currently working as a traffic controller casually, so I will have to leave for a few hours here and there, but more often than not I have time off that I would happily spend with your pets.
If it's just to walk, fed or spend time with your pets. I can also do some basic chores while I am there such as water plants and collect mail and tidy up after the animals.
As qualified veterinary nurse I can also administer medications orally and via injection.
I can also groom your pets, I don't have grooming equipment myself, but if you do and your pet needs to be bathed or is in need of a good trim, I am delighted to be of service.

Hello!! My name is Diana Carolina, I am 26 years old, I was born in Colombia, there I studied veterinary medicine and then I decided to come to Australia to study English, I am currently working as a pet sitter and I have been working with pets in Adelaide for a year of experience  I live in Barnes Road, Glynde. A very quiet and safe suburb with areas close to parks
It's a pleasure for me to take care of your furry baby!! I have one year of experience working as a Pet sitter in Adelaide, I have worked through other platforms and independently.&nbsp;
Currently, I am volunteering at a dog training company which gives me good handling and control of animals, and every day I learn more about animal behavior.
Being with pets is one of the things that makes me happiest, taking care of them and giving them moments of fun and happiness is something that fills me with a lot of gratification.&nbsp;
I do my job with a lot of love and dedication. I was a veterinarian in Colombia, so I have knowledge about animal welfare and diseases.&nbsp;
I also have the ability to administer medication if your furry one requires it, and I have knowledge in first aid. I am not disgusted by absolutely nothing of the pet, I do everything with love.&nbsp;
I offer Pet sitting service that is night care of your furry at the owner's house with additional visits during the day, because I work during the day as a Pet Walker, I can't provide the full stay service during the day but I can offer additional visits during the day while the night arrives to take care of and sleep with your furry 

As a pet walker, I offer a walk of at least 1 hour walk with enrichment activities for your furry, such as walks and jogging and game time. It also helped to reinforce good behavioral behaviors (sitting, waiting, reducing reactivity, staying calm, not pulling the leash, stimulating good socialization with other people and other dogs) during the walk through positive reinforcement methods. Although I am not a canine trainer, at the moment I am volunteering for canine behavior to learn to understand animals from their nature. However, if your dog has problems with very marked misconduct (such as aggression, reactivity) I can recommend excellent professionals in canine training if you want to train your furry 

The Home Visit service is a service where I will be with your furry for 1 hour to feed them and play with them and pamper them a lot, in the case of cats, I always clean their sandboxes, clean their feeders and leave them fresh water. In the case of dogs it would be the same dynamic as cats unlike that I give dogs a short walk to pee and poop

Before reading the description of Pet hosting it is important to clarify, we will only receive dogs in our house, for safety we prefer not to get involved with cats since they are pets that tend to stress much easier if they are not in their own space and could get sick due to stress, do not hesitate to book the care of your cat in your own house and I will be there!!
The pet hosting service in my house is only enabled for weekends, it is a service where I will take care of your pet in my house along with my husband who is also a great animal lover!!  In this service, your pet will only be at my house during the days you book, so there will be no other pets involved in the service. The service includes walks during the day with no extra surcharge, I also have my own car where I can pick up and drop off your pet again 
My house is a large space that has a backyard and some are completely closed by metal walls which makes it a safe space for the pet, in this house we live 4 people, we are all lovers of animals, but it will be my husband and I who will only take care of your furry baby, we love to sleep with the pets, so we will have no problem in them sleeping with us in bed, but if you want we can also bring their bed and put it in our room

Do not hesitate to contact me!.
