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 Altona North VIC Pawshake cat feeder or carer can help. Our Altona North VIC 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 Altona North VIC 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!

Hi there! I'm Wayne, an animal lover based in South Kingsville. I’ve been the proud owner of a Border Collie and a Maine Coon cat for the past two and a half years, raising them both from a young age. This hands-on experience has taught me how to care for pets with very different personalities, energy levels, and needs.

I offer home visits and dog walking services for pet owners who want their furry friends to feel safe and loved while they’re away or at work. Whether it’s giving your cat some company during the day or taking your dog for a walk and a bit of playtime, I’ll make sure they’re well looked after.

My motivation for pet sitting comes from the genuine joy I get from spending time with animals. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust, and I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I kindly ask that all pets are up to date with their vaccinations to ensure everyone’s safety.

I can’t wait to meet you and your pets!


Hi. I'm Laura and I have no furbabies, but two human babies. They are 1 and 3 years old so your pet must be ok with SMALL children.&nbsp;

I’ve owned dogs and cats on and off for more than 20 years. I’d love a pet for my little people but it’s too much to take on full time, so looking after your fur baby will be a nice compromise. Pets MUST be experienced and socialised with small kids.

We live walking distance to a park and have a completely enclosed back yard and fully fenced front yard. The back yard is a strip of concrete, so it's not too pleasant but very secure for when needed for a short period, such as meal times or me dealing with a poosplosion. The front yard is secure but not escape proof, and full of interesting things, including a veggie garden and people walking past. I will often leave the front door open so dogs can come and go, but it's not escape proof, so cats and escape artist dogs will remain indoors. We live on a quiet street with easy parking directly in front of the house.

I regularly communicate with owners using videos, photos and updates about what we are doing. You're more than welcome to request more or less communication at any time.
I will only accept bookings that have met with me and my kids (rabbits and guinea pig exempt), so your availability needs to be flexible around naps and bedtimes etc. I need to be confident they will be ok with the kids. I try and teach them how to behave with pets and supervise them at all times, but they are young and there is a risk of them touching a tail or putting their hand in a food bowl. Please discuss with me any temperamental triggers that we may need to be aware of so I can put some strategies in place.

I'm happy to accept last minute bookings, but we need to have had a meet and greet already, so if you think you'd like to use my services, you're welcome to come meet us now, in prepartion for last minute bookings in the future.

Pets MUST BE fully vaccinated, healthy, well behaved &amp; sociable (with people &amp; other animals). We often hang out with friends and family who also have pets (mainly dogs). If your pet has issues with other animals please have a chat with me about it.

Owner provides all food, treats, bed, lead, poo bags &amp; any fav toys.&nbsp;

If your pet has any BEHAVIOURAL ie barking, chewing, jumping up, counter-surfing, storm phobia, marks inside, anything else?, you MUST DISCLOSE this in your initial inquiry. Not deal breakers, just good to know up front so I can manage your expectations of the level of support and care I can provide.

Please note that given the age of my kids, A LOT of food ends up on the floor. If this is a problem, let me know and I can secure your pet elsewhere during meal times.

Puppy surcharge for dogs under 1 year old as puppies are a lot of work! Please honestly disclose the progress of their house training. I can manage an accident-prone puppy as long as I know to expect that.

If you declare your pet to be house trained and they pee/bleed/poo on the couch or bed, you will be charged for the cleaning bill. Fortunately, I have wooden and tiled floors, so there's no risk there.

An Overnight is roughly 24hrs ( +/- a few hrs). E.g. If drop off is early Saturday and pick up Sunday afternoon, then I charge 1 night and 1 day care.


I feel confident caring for your pets (dogs, cats, birds, snakes and more) at your place, where they are their most comfortable. As an active person, I enjoy taking your energetic dogs for long walks and I can offer them lots of playtime too. I understand the importance of training and discipline, so I will adhere to your rules when I mind your babies, so as not to un-do all of your hard work.
My professional life includes working from home as a designer-maker, the occasional DJ set and also working as a stage-hand at events. This allows me to have a flexible schedule that can be adapted to meet the requirements of you and your beloved pets. Long time petsitter, references available by request.


Hi! We're Kirsty and David, and we're so excited at the prospect of caring for your beloved pets. Our home as long been a hub for the furry family members of our closest friends and relatives, and now, we're extending our love of caring for animals to you! We're videogame developers with a flexible work from home schedule, so we're practically always around, ready to spoil your pets rotten at all hours of the day.&nbsp;
We've both grown up with animals, and for all of my adult life I've loved and cared for my cat Dexter. We are experienced with pets of all temperaments, personalities, and quirks, and offer the utmost love, care and patience for your pet.&nbsp;
When we're not doting on animals, you'll find us enjoying a quiet, low-key life filled with board games, music (I play piano), art (David is a professional 3D artist), and of course, videogames. We also share passions for street photography, motorbike riding, snowboarding, and a general love of all things food.
As we start our journey with pet sitting, we won't be accepting pet boarding services until we're extremely confident that our home and our own wonderful cat will feel safe and secure, but we're so excited to be offering home visits or dog walks, with all the love and consideration that our furry friends deserve. We understand just how stressful it can be to leave a pet at home, so we offer all the love and care for your pet that we would want for our own.
Looking forward to becoming best friends with your pet!


Hi everyone,
My name is Jess, originally from Sweden but have been living in Australia for almost 14 years. I grew up with dogs and around horses. I would love to get the opportunity to spend some more time with dogs/other animals as they genuinely make me happy and I genuinely enjoy making them feel loved and happy with walks, playtime and scratches!&nbsp;
I have experience looking after various breeds of dogs and enjoy their different personalities and can attend to their various needs.&nbsp;
I have a nursing background and am a caring and empathetic person. I love being outdoors and going for walks so happy to help you exercise your puppy or spend time with them when you're away.&nbsp;
Ideally looking to spend time with puppies in the inner suburbs of Melbourne, for walks or check ins. Happy to discuss your dogs needs!&nbsp;
I have a police check from work which I'm happy to share with you as well.&nbsp;
Thanks,
Jess&nbsp;


Hi families! 
I’m Leidy, and I currently live in Yarraville. I’m a caring, reliable, and animal-loving person who truly enjoys spending time with pets giving them love and receiving it back!
In Colombia, I had a cat who was adopted when he was just one month old, and since then, animals have always been part of my life.&nbsp;
I have experience taking care of both cats and dogs, including feeding, cleaning, brushing, and bathing when needed.
I really enjoy walking dogs, playing with pets, and keeping them happy and comfortable at home. I also love supporting families who need an extra hand with their furry friends.
I’m responsible, patient, and always treat pets as if they were my own. I’d be so happy to look after your animals and make sure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away.&nbsp;
I'll be very happy sharing my time with them.&nbsp;


Hi, my name is Kirstie and I have been working full time as a petsitter. I specialise in going to the client's home and caring for their pet, day and night. Unfortunately I am unable to board animals at my home, so please note this when booking my services.
I have been a volunteer at Seeing Eye Dogs Australia for 6 years in that time I was working within the kennels and the puppy training centre. Some of my duties included grooming and washing puppies, making meals and feeding, walking and cleaning up after them.
I have also completed my Certificate 2 and 3 in Animal Studies. I am a huge animal lover! And a huge believer that animals are the best therapy and i love being around animals. I promise you that I will love and care for your pets as if they are my own!
I specialise in offering day pet sitting, and overnight sitting at your home. I am also available for one-off or regular house visits where I can feed your pet and keep them company. This is suitable for office workers or those working long hours and think that their pet may need some company.
Please immediately let me know if your pet has any allergies or other medical conditions at the meet and greet. This is very important!
My services include providing your pet with a lot of love, playing with them, going for a short walk in your neighbourhood (if required), making sure they go to the toilet and that they have plenty of food and water. I will also bring pet treats for your pets.
House visits will involve these services, as will overnight stays. I will ensure your pet doesn't feel lonely during overnight stays!
I am flexible with time, so please let me know in your inquiry how many nights you're looking for. Please note that an extra fee applies for more than 2 pets.
I have cared for a number of breeds including the following:
• Maine Coon (cat)
• Ragdoll (cat)
• Spoodle
• Whippet puppy
• Pugalier
• Chihuahua
• Staffy
• Rabbits
• And many more!
I work best with small to medium breeds of all ages, and might not be the best fit for a larger dog.
Thank you! I look forward to getting to know you and your fur babies!

Hello!!! My name is Beck, I am a registered nurse and a fur Mum to three fur babies. Two Dogs (Bobby and Rusty) and Fred the cat!
Bobby is 13 years old, Rusty is 12 and Fred 8. I have grown up with animals my whole life, and love the unconditional love and affection they give to you. Rusty has Cushings disease and requires daily medication, so I am well versed in sneaking a tablet in if needed.&nbsp;
I know how stressful it can be leaving your babies at home whilst you go on holiday. So if I can give someone the piece of mind, that their baby is well looked after whilst their away, then that would be amazing!&nbsp;
Currently I'm only available for house visits and walks as I have a 3 year old at home and our own pets to look after. I won't be working for the next little bit, so have a lot of free time during the day (whilst my daughter is as daycare) to visit your fur babies.&nbsp;


I am a Filipino-Kiwi now living in Melbourne. I love dogs with a special affinity for greyhounds, corgis and retrievers. I was a parent of two adopted greyhounds and one golden retriever, and I used to dogsit a corgi in New York City.
I commute from the Inner West so access to public transport is important (for now, until I get a car ). 
I'm happy to be booked for the entire day while you're at work. I can give your dog-child tons of cuddles and walks for the day. I can also administer medication if needed. I have experience with my own doggies, giving them vitamins and meds when they were sick. 
I live near a dog park so you can also drop off your furry friend for the day. I can take them for playtime in the dog park, a walk around the neighborhood or just hanging in our backyard. 
I'm also happy to housesit - water plants, check mail, and of course care for your doggies.  
Having been a dog parent, I know what I'm looking for when it comes to someone spending time with my dog child. 

*Police Check Available - Currently house sitting in St. Kilda
Hello there!&nbsp;
I specialize in providing excellent care for your home and beloved pets. With a track record of 5-star reviews from past house sits, I am currently based in Melbourne and work on a casual basis while house sitting.
Despite not having pets growing up in Switzerland, I actively sought opportunities to interact with animals through volunteering at shelters, walking the dogs there and spending time with friends' pets.
Throughout my journey, I've had the pleasure of caring for wonderful pets across Victoria and Queensland. This experience has deepened my skills and understanding of pet care.
I also understand the importance of your home, ensuring I take care of details like turning off lights and air conditioners when not in use. For homes with solar panels, I prioritize using the dishwasher and washing machine during daylight hours and only with full loads.
I'm more than happy to meet in person to see if I'm the right fit for your needs.

Looking forward to the opportunity to care for your furry companions and home!

Best regards,
Jessica

**Please Note:**
- Due to my current housing arrangement, I am unable to accommodate additional pets.
- For overnight stays at your place, my partner Elio will also be present, as we travel together across Australia and have completed all past house sits as a team.
- I have created this profile to explore opportunities in professional pet care beyond regular house sitting.

Happy to provide screenshots of references from past house sits!&nbsp;

Animals I have experience caring for:
Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Fish, Birds, Turtles, Snails, Stick Insects


Passionate about the joy and well-being of furry friends, I am dedicated to providing top-notch pet walking, pet sitting, and related services. With a genuine love for animals, I've turned my passion into a profession, aspiring to create a positive impact on the lives of pets and their owners.

As a devoted pet owner myself, I share my home with four dogs, understanding the unique bond that exists between pets and their human companions. This personal connection fuels my motivation to ensure the happiness and comfort of every animal under my care. ️

Beyond the basics of pet sitting, I strive to create an environment filled with love, playfulness, and tailored attention to meet each pet's individual needs. My commitment goes beyond the routine – I aim to build trust and companionship with the pets I care for, fostering a sense of security and joy in their lives.  

Choosing me as your pet sitter means entrusting your beloved companions to someone who not only sees the job as a duty but as an opportunity to enhance the quality of their lives. Let's embark on this journey together, where your pets receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve. 

Hi, I'm Stevie. I live in North Adelaide area with my partner, and our cat, Hazel.
I will be visiting Melbourne in January 2024. I'll be working in the Seddon/Footscray area, but am open to other locations as well. My dates are flexible. I'd love to do some house/pet sitting, but can also visit and/or walk your pets. I'm familiar with the house sitting process and can easily take care of your pets and home. 
I'm a high school teacher. My beloved dog, Tassie, passed away in 2019 and I'm a pretty lost without her, especially on my walks! She spent 11 short years with me before she passed on. She was little, but in her prime she went on long hikes with me. 
I've been around dogs and cats (and other animals) my whole life, and have plenty of experience caring for animals, including medication administration, basic grooming and cleaning, and sooo much walking!
