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 Canberra ACT Pawshake cat feeder or carer can help. Our Canberra ACT 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 Canberra ACT 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! I'm Sally, I live in Canberra with my partner and we adore spending time with pets as our apartment is too small for our own. I have always had dogs around me when I was growing up and genuinely love their kind, energetic and playful nature. I also grew up with cats 
Dog Walking Services: Being able to walk dogs is a great way to encourage myself to get outside and enjoy some exercise with the best company possible - dogs! I love being active so would be more than happy to not only walk but run your furry friend if they enjoy some faster pace. 
- available throughout the week and weekends (please contact me to discuss your ideal timing) 
- walks can last anywhere between 30 mins to 1 hour in either the surrounding neighbourhood including playing fetch at the local oval. (happy to discuss with you based on your pet's needs) 
- walks can be done within 15 minutes drive of my area or alternatively if you are comfortable I can drive your pup to the lake and we can go for a longer walk for the "bridge to bridge loop" 
House-Sitting: My partner and I have been housesitting for over 1.5 years now through Trusted House-sitters website and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience meeting new dogs, learning about their personalities and enjoying some great memories together. Each pup has their own personality and quirks which is so rewarding to discover. We have developed strong bonds with a lot of the families and dogs we've met over our time housesitting and have returned to on a secondary or even third housesits. We are happy to offer dog sitting services where we can come and stay at your home with your pets. We try to ensure our calendar is up to date but please reach out with some information regarding your location, responsibilities and home to discuss a potential match. 

Hi there!
We are a couple who would love the opportunity to take care of your dog (or cat/ferret/guinea pigs/chickens/snakes/fish/whatever wonderful pet you have) while you are away. Long walks, runs, zoomies, wrestles and cuddles available too, as required.&nbsp;
Lewis has heaps of experience taking care of a managerie of animals, including dogs, cats, snakes, rats, ferrets, fish, frogs, kangaroos, and so many more. He has either kept or dealt with just about every aimal you can imagine and used to work in wildlife rescue, so he's super practial and knows his animals. After moving interstate he misses the family dog, Jenner, back in Vic. In fact he stops for just about every dog we meet when we are out and about. He is regularly available during the day to go on little adventures with your dog - be it a walk around the neighbourhood or a run around the trails. Ayla walked dogs throughout university to de-stress from the study, and is missing hanging out with four legged friends now that she works full time. For higher energy dogs, where appropriate, we'd absolutely love to take them on our weekend trail run or a ramble around Ainslie or Red Hill. 
We both know what it is like being away from pets, and always make sure that owners are kept updated, and aware of what is going on. We are both very neat and clean, and when housesitting or popping in for a pet visit, ensure we that treat the place like we would our own home.&nbsp;
We are available for housesitting in the Inner North/Inner South. If you're interested, please do get in touch, and we can arrange a time to introduce ourselfves to you and your pets before the housesit.&nbsp;
Ayla and Lewis

A bit more about me:
Hello! I'm Dhanu, born and raised in Canberra. I ventured out for university but during my time in Canberra, I cherished my years with Pawshake, primarily as a dog sitter and walker. It was heart-wrenching to pause my Pawshake journey due to my move interstate, but I'm thrilled to rekindle that passion as I move back to Canberra. As I wrap up my university studies and await my next professional venture, I'm returning to Pawshake for the summer holidays. I'm excited to stay active and get to know your furry family members. Feel free to message me anytime and I will get back to you as soon as possible!! xx

Since childhood, I’ve had experience raising five small to medium-sized dogs at home. I used to assist my parents in walking and feeding them. As an adult, I’ve independently cared for a medium-sized dog, a budgerigar and a Cockatiel for four years, though they currently reside in China with my parents.&nbsp;
I have a genuine love for animals and am willing to invest the necessary patience in their care. With significant time spent studying at home for my postgraduate studies, I’m available to care for animals either at home or by providing feeding and walking services. I am basically at home all day, so I will accompany pets with sufficient time. Despite living in an apartment without a yard and a outdoor area, I can take dogs to suitable places like parks for exercise.&nbsp;
I walk dog two to three times a day according to pet's activity needs, and one time we will play outside for a long time.
I have already had pet sitting experience and I regularly take videos and photos for pet owners every day to confirm their pet's condition.&nbsp;
At present, I don't have any other pets at home, and I have prepared a sleeping carpet for the pets who come to my house, and they can sleep on my sofa.


Hello,
I am currently a university student and looking to do some pet sitting/ walking in my spare time. 
I have a had multiple pets all throughout growing up from hermit crabs to dogs to Guinea pigs. 
I know that your pets are an extension of your family and you wouldn't need to worry about them in my care. As an avid animal lover, I look forward to the opportunity to interact with them and give them some love whilst you're away. I am committed to ensuring the well-being and happiness of your pets while you're away. I deeply appreciate the unconditional love and companionship that pets provide and understand the responsibility of caring for them. Through personalized attention and a genuine passion for building trusting relationships with pets, I aim to bring joy and peace of mind to both you and your beloved animals. 
Do not hesitate to contact me if you'd like any further information about myself, or if I can answer any questions. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter; I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your furry friends.

I am a massive animal lover and am always happy to be around them. I have a beautiful cat whom I adore to bits and will make sure your pet is treated the same!
I am diligent and caring. I will make sure your pet will get the love and care it deserves when you're unable to be there! 
I work in the north side of Canberra and am happy to service north side areas. I work full time but can visit your pet after work on weeknights and weekends. 
I can administer oral medication and do any brushing/light grooming as required. I'm happy to look after small to medium dogs, cats, rabbits and birds. 
You will always receive photos from me and texts if I am chosen to look after your beloved pet. As a pet owner myself, I know that receiving a photo of your loved one can make your day! ️

Hi, I would love to care for your dog &amp;/or cat in the comfort of their own home. Have lots of experience and success with fearful/ anxious/ hyper animals &amp; continue learning about the latest science of best practice in animal care, such as: cortisol (stress hormone) can remain present up to 72 hrs after event. This fact can help plan events around pet to reduce stress and avoid trigger stacking,e.g. when going away, don't take pet to vets the day before departure.Have love and respect of all animals having been raised on acreage with horses, sheep, ducks, dogs and cats. We would often welcome the strays to join the family. I've volunteered at the RSPCA, DAS, numerous animal rescues as well as rehabilating cats and dogs. They are now my focus and I have studied extensively to understand how best to bring out the best in them. *Hold a WWVP card*Servicing: Downer; Dickson; Hackett; Lyneham; O'Connor; Watson
Qualifications &amp; courses completed:
- Certificate 3 Companion Animal Services- Award in Dog Behaviour, Welfare &amp; Training- Dog Cognition: Dr Brian Hare, author 'Genius of Dogs'- Approved Canine Reactivity Expert- The Truth about Cats &amp; Dogs- Dog Recuers Guide- Puppy Socialisation- Movement &amp; Massage - Understanding Dog Aggression- Absolute Dogs: games based training

Dogs: Walking around their neighbourhood, providing stimulating adventures that can include: nose work / enrichment/ training/ and urban agility which is fantastic in building confidence for the reserved &amp; fearful pups.

Dog Walk - $40: 60mins
BEHAVIOURAL CONSULT
All suburbs.
My focus is to enrich the lives of the animals we share our homes with by understanding what their behaviours reveal.  Cats and dogs will 'act out' when under stress which can be due to a number of factors and can include simple things: where does pet sleep; how many fresh water bowls are available. They will often show behaviours that most people are unaware are signs of stress. This can include: hyper activity; inappropriate toileting; aggression; incessant barking; extinguished behaviours that return. Can also address fear phobias and concerning reactivity. My practical and theoretical knowledge has informed an holistic approach to helping you and your animal overcome the stress. Can recommend how to have a cat friendly purrfect home to satisfy cats needs and welfare.The consultation involves  2 hour  home visit listening to your concerns and assessing the dogs/ cat behaviour. We will create a practical action plan to work towards resolving the issue.  If required, ongoing contact to ensure success. $100 all inclusive
