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 Naty!
I’m an active part-time worker living in a cozy ground-floor apartment, perfectly located near walking paths and a park. I love going for walks and spending time outdoors, and I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for your furry friend.

About me and my home:
	•	I have a desexed male French Bulldog named Max. He’s very friendly and loves to play, so your pet must be dog-friendly too!
	•	My apartment has a secure, spacious balcony and access to a garden within the building.
	•	Your pet will have full access to my home through a doggy door.
	•	I use a pet camera to ensure everything is okay while I’m away at work.
	•	Playtime, walks, and plenty of cuddles are guaranteed!

What I offer:
	•	A safe and secure space for your pet to relax and play.
	•	Daily walks, playtime, and lots of attention.
	•	Flexible sleeping arrangements—I’m happy for your pet to sleep indoors.
	•	Care for small to medium-sized breeds.

Important rules:
	•	Your pet must be fully vaccinated for the safety of Max.
	•	I can only accommodate one household of pets at a time.
	•	Your pet must be trained, as my home has carpet.
	•	Please provide your pet’s food during their stay.

I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet and make them feel at home. They’ll enjoy great company with Max, and I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe, and loved. ️

I am responsible, friendly, and get along well with people and pets.  I have not had any reviews yet because it's my first time on the platform, and I just returned from overseas. I have written references and a police check (WWVP card) available if you like.&nbsp;
Pet sitting is as much about letting someone trustworthy into your home, someone who will respect your place and possessions, as it is about taking proper care of your much loved pet. I am sincere about caring for your pet, will follow instructions closely and enjoy having him/her as company.  I enjoy the company of pets and I like to give dogs a proper walk. I am formerly a dog owner but don't currently have a dog or cat. My dog passed away a few years ago and I have been living overseas since.  I returned to Canberra recently to take up residence here again.  I'm not the type to invite people over or have parties, and am happy to keep the garden in check if requested.
My major is in biology, then I switched career to university teaching. I periodically work with animals on a farm in Hall, and have professional references available from work if requested. I have 9 months petsitting experience during covid, caring for two cats, and did a lot of petsitting for an elderly couple in O'Connor some years ago (Poodle from a refuge- it needed some love and training).  I have from time to time looked after pets for friends, walking them regularly and preparing specific foods (often cooked) as requested.
I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, cats, reptiles, stock animals, fish etc, including administering medication such as tablets, eye drops, injections . I look forward to meeting you and having the opportunity to care for your pet when you are away.&nbsp;
Kind regards,
Nicholas W.



Hi there! My name is Adarsh, and I am a local student here in Lawson with a deep passion for animal care. Currently, I am studying a Diploma of Community Services, which has instilled in me a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and a genuine desire to support those in my community—whether they have two legs or four!&nbsp;My motivation for becoming a pet sitter is simple: I understand that pets are cherished family members, and their well-being is paramount. I want to offer pet owners in our area the peace of mind that their companions are being looked after by someone who is not only reliable and punctual but also deeply caring. I take great pride in being organized and trustworthy, ensuring that every pet I look after receives attentive care, plenty of enrichment, and lots of love.While I am building my experience, I am confident in my ability to follow specific care routines, handle different temperaments, and provide a safe, nurturing environment for your pet. Whether it’s a refreshing walk, dedicated playtime, or simply checking in on them while you are away, I am committed to treating your pet with the same kindness I would my own.Regarding my home environment, I prioritize safety and health for all pets. To ensure a comfortable experience, I only accept pets that are up-to-date with their vaccinations. I am more than happy to arrange a "meet and greet" before any booking so we can make sure your pet feels completely at ease with me. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon!

Having always grown up with animals around in my family, and an (unrealised) childhood dream of becoming a vet, I love any opportunity to care for pets. While I don’t have one myself at the moment, I come from a family of both dog and cat lovers (you don’t have to love only one of them!) and have experience training my family dog up from a young kelpie puppy to a well-trained adult dog. 
Overall, I have plenty experience caring for and walking dogs, although I have minimal experience doing this as a ‘job’. As I don't have a dog right now, due to living arrangements, I would love the chance to walk and care for other dogs.
I'm flexible for timings across Friday-Sunday, am a reliable, kind and caring person to all pets alike, and am adaptable to whatever care needs your dog requires. 
The opportunity to walk or care for your dog, small or big, young or old, would be my pleasure!

Hi I'm Alexandra! I'm originally from Melbourne and am currently studying law and commerce at ANU. I have spent my entire life surrounding by animals, especially dogs, chickens and horses. I have experience looking after dogs, chickens, cats and horses of family and friends when they have been away. However, most of my experience comes from my responsibilities at home. I have grown up on acreage and care for 5 horses and a dog at home. I absolutely adore my pets and love to spoil them with treats and cuddles. I would bring the same level of care to looking after your pets as I do to my own animals - I know what it's like to be the owner stressing about your pet while you're away! 
I would love to join your dog in discovering new areas and walking routes around your home to keep them interested and happy on their dog walks. I know every dog has different energy levels and so I am always happy to discuss how long your dog wants to walk for whether this is 30 minutes or an hour. 
When pet sitting I would give them the same love and attention as I would my own pets. I'm not the kind a person who simply feeds the dogs and then ignores them. I love giving them pats and cuddles as much as they love receiving them! I have handled shy dogs and boisterous ones and I know that they often need different levels of care and attention depending on their personalities. I would love to get to know them before my first session in order to give them the best care possible. Plus I'm always happy to send pictures and updates to keep your mind as ease while you are away!

I am a loving and reliable pet sitter!
I am an animal lover and enjoy caring for all pets, especially dogs. I will love your pet as though they were my own and give them an enjoyable time while you are away. I enjoy playing enrichment games or playing/training with toys and treats.
As an owner of a nervous and reactive kelpie, I have had extensive experience with caring for and training dogs with mental health issues. I feel particularly passionate about such animals as they deserve as much care and tenderness as any other 'easier' pet.
Pet sitting is the perfect way to have millions of pets without having to find space for them all in my own home! Were it possible I would have at least ten dogs I think.
My job is part time Tuesday-friday 8:30-4pm and I have the option to work from home. This makes me highly flexible and available to care for your pets when you are unable to do so. In every visit I will be sure to play with your pet to keep them mentally stimulated, give them lovely snuggles and just generally hang out with them so they feel like their family isn't so far away. 
You can be confident that your pet will be safe and happy in my care and I always ensure to send through many pictures of your fur baby during my visits.
I have been pet sitting for around ten years and have completed some entry-level tafe subjects in basic animal care. I also completed work experience in a pet store which gave me such a fun crash course in caring for animals who are looking for their fur-ever homes.



I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, from the time I was a baby right through to now, and caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I genuinely love all animals and find that they respond to my calm, patient energy and natural understanding of their needs.
Over the years, I’ve shared my life with a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, birds, and even a lizard. Each one has taught me something unique about trust, routine, and companionship. Most recently, I was lucky enough to have a retired Labrador sniffer dog from the Federal Police. He sadly passed away from cancer this past december, but he was truly one of a kind and he blessed our family with his love for 3 years with us. 
I’m also owned by an elderly tuxedo cat named Carlos — a total legend with a personality so dog-like it’s unbelievable.
I’m a part-time worker and a mum to two human children, which means I’m responsible, organised, and very capable of caring for others. I’m available to visit your pets while you’re away to provide reliable, loving care, and I’m also happy to look after your home by bringing in mail, taking out bins, and watering plants if needed.
Im happy to follow your pets lead, I can play, or just chill out nearby. 
I can also administer tablets or paste medicines (no injections)
I can help with training for continuity of training while you're away. 


Hi I’m Amy - a reliable pet sitter and an animal lover. I'm a 35 year old public servant and psychology student, pet sitting to allow me to work less and study more!

I offer overnight care for your furry friends (or feathered, or scaly!) starting at $50 per night, providing a safe and affectionate environment for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I typically accept stays longer than one week and can accommodate stays of a month or more - I'm happy to discuss discounted rates for long sits. I have experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes (including rescues), cats, chickens, and plants. I have a very calm demeanour which I find rescues and anxious pets respond well to. I'm new to Pawshake but have extensive experience house and pet sitting. I've can provide testimonials from previous home owners whose furry friends I've cared for in the past.

I work and study from home, so will spend plenty of time with your pets during the day and evenings. I know how important it can be for your pets to have consistency in routine, so will follow any normal daily feeding and exercise schedules, administer medications, and continue any training or behavioural work you are progressing. I have experience administering oral medication and supplements to cats and dogs, along with creams, gels, and puffers. I'll happily provide regular updates on your pets (if you wish) while you're away. I will care for your home as if it was my own and follow your instructions to ensure it is secure while you’re away. 

I am proactive, reliable, and a great communicator. I'm a non-smoker and non-drinker, have my own car, and I will happily provide a police check upon request. I have a Canberra-based partner (male, 36, full-time public servant, also a non-smoker and non-drinker with experience house and pet sitting) who will stay with me while I'm pet sitting a couple of nights a week, but will not be involved in caring for your pets.

I understand how precious your home and pets are to you and how important it will be for you to know that they are in caring hands. Your pet's happiness and security are my priorities, and I approach each engagement with dedication and enthusiasm. With a proven track record as a pet sitter, I bring a wealth of experience to ensure the wellbeing of your beloved pets while you can't be with them yourself.
