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 Gowanbrae VIC Pawshake cat feeder or carer can help. Our Gowanbrae 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 Gowanbrae 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! I’m a caring, reliable pet lover who understands that pets are not “just animals” — they are family. I know how important it is to feel completely at ease when someone else is looking after your fur baby, and that’s exactly the peace of mind I aim to provide.&nbsp;
I am an experienced dog and cat care taker too. I can understand their moods, habits, and very carefully, with the note of the pet owner as to what they want and don't want their fur babies to have.&nbsp;&nbsp;
I can control medium-sized dogs, and have a natural way of being friendly with them. I have experience with more than 40 family/ pets.&nbsp;
I recently moved to Melbourne and have joined Pawshake to continue my experience and love of animals as a sitter again.&nbsp;
I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions (if required), and any special preferences you share. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I only accept vaccinated pets to ensure everyone’s safety and well-being.
I will also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you never feel far away. I treat every pet as if they were my own — with love, respect, and genuine care. I can say so as I am the mother of my beautiful cat and I have been in this place.  Believe me, I understand. :)
I would be happy to care for your precious companion. :)


&nbsp;Hello!&nbsp;&nbsp;
I'm a proud pet parent, I have owned many cats in my time and currently have a wee pug called Gustav

5 years of experience of house and dog sitting for people’s dogs (whippet, pug, jack russell terrier) and cats.&nbsp;
I have lived with Staffies, Terriers, Labrador, Pugalier and Blue Heeler Cross.&nbsp;
1yr experience at the Lost Dogs Home in North Melbourne (2014).  During this time I took up to 20 dogs through a basic manners training program with their in-house trainer. I also gained experience with trauma-affected shy dogs that required gentle socialising with humans to help modify their behaviour&nbsp;&nbsp;
I have a dog-friendly vehicle and am happy to travel up to 8km from Coburg North. I can offer basic manner training (reward-based) if needed, bring my pug along if they need socialising as Gustav is a highly social and gentle&nbsp;

I look forward to hearing from you!&nbsp;
Kind regards,
Hini&nbsp;


I am a semi-retired, full-time cat Dad. I am happy to look after cats and, due to lifting restrictions, only small dogs too. I could care for your chickens and fish, and if you are away for some time, I would happily water your plants.
Leaving my cats at boarding houses in the past has not been ideal—they don’t like it. I’ve decided to offer the kind of service I want for my own cats.Cats prefer to stay at home, and usually take time to adjust to new locations.Staying at home limits stress and separation anxiety.&nbsp;
I look after the pets of my family and friends while they’re away, so extending this service to other people makes sense. Tailoring to your cat's needs: one or two visits a day, with quality interaction and stimulation, chasing the laser dot, or a relaxing pat or brush, depending on how they feel. I find most cats can be bribed into a pat with a treat or a game.
I have two cats who rule our roost and have my wife wrapped around their little paws: Pickles and Chai. Chai is a feral rescue cat; it took two months of slowly working up to hand-feeding her before we could pet her. Fast forward 12 months, and she sleeps on us and spends most of her time with me. We then rescued Pickles as a companion for Chai. Pickles is quite the character— Pickles loves everyone! She likes to sleep in odd positions, and can’t get enough of games like chasing the laser dot or stickball; Pickles prefers her grass hand cut by me!
I am currently building them an outdoor cat run and catio enclosure; they’re super excited. I hope to offer custom catio building as a service in the future.&nbsp;
A bit more about me: I grew up on farms in country Victoria with horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, dogs, and cats. We had around 30 cats on the farm in stables and other sheds, and they’d visit the dairy next door daily for free milk. Over the years, I gained experience looking after all sorts of animals, even working with vets on the farm, dealing with various problems - I know how to handle an emergency.I spent 18 years looking after horses for clients, some with values well over $100K.We also ran Cattle and sheep.And there were the house cats and dogs.I have extensive experience caring for animals of all sizes.
Due to a motorcycle accident that resulted in a spinal injury, I found myself recovering in bed for 12 months with my old cat, Mushroom, as my constant companion. Mushroom was a big help in getting me through one of the darkest times in my life. I really do know from experience how important our pets are; they’re family.Before my motorcycle accident, I worked in Real Estate for many years. I have done thousands of home inspections in that capacity.
While you’re away, I’d love to keep you updated on your fur baby's daily life by sending photo’s if you wish.... cats willing.
 


Hi there! I’m Karolina, a big animal lover who absolutely adores spending time with dogs and cats of all kinds.&nbsp;
I have experience walking and looking after dogs of all breeds and sizes, from tiny playful pups to big gentle giants. I always make sure each walk or visit fits their energy and personality, whether that’s a fun adventure outside or some quiet cuddle time at home.
I also take care of cats, and other pet family members if necessary.  I treat every pet like my own - with love, patience, and lots of attention.&nbsp;
You can count on me to keep your furry friend happy, active, and cared for while you’re away. If you have any questions or special requests please feel free to contact me.&nbsp;
I'm also happy to show my other review of house and dogs/ cat sitting.
Can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend! 

About Us
We are passionate pet lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including larger breeds such as Chow Chows, Rottweilers, Siberian Huskies, German Shepherds, American Terriers, and Labradors, as well as cats and small animals. We deeply value the companionship pets bring and are committed to ensuring every pet under our care feels safe, loved, and happy.
Since we both work from home, your pet will always have company while staying with us. We provide constant care and tailor our approach to meet your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s an energetic dog that enjoys regular walks and engaging playtime or a more relaxed pet that prefers lounging and napping, we make sure they feel at ease. Your furry friend can choose between relaxing indoors or enjoying our secure outdoor space, which is perfect for safely roaming, sniffing, and playing fetch or ball.

Our Space
We are conveniently located near Melbourne Airport, making it easy for pet owners to drop off or pick up their furry companions before or after flying overseas. Our pet-friendly home features a secure, fully enclosed outdoor area with a grass patch for your pet’s comfort.
Currently, we do not have any pets of our own, meaning your pet will have our undivided attention and enjoy the entire space to themselves. We maintain a clean, safe, and comfortable environment, ensuring your pet has a relaxing and enjoyable stay—whether indoors or exploring the spacious outdoor area.

If you’re looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter who will treat your furry family members like their own, we’d be honored to help. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’d love to hear about your pets and look forward to meeting them soon!&nbsp;


Hello! I'm Eleanor.&nbsp;
I’m a proud cat mum to the one and only Mavis, and a lifelong animal lover who grew up surrounded by all kinds of creatures—dogs, cats, horses, chickens, guinea fowl… you name it, I’ve probably fed it or cuddled it!
While I’m new to official pet sitting, I’ve long been known as “Fun Aunty Ellie” among my friends. I’m their go-to when they’re away (or often when they're not!), whether it’s for belly rubs, dinner time, or energetic mid-day walks. I’m comfortable with animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities—from sassy cats to anxious pups—and I tailor my care to suit their unique quirks. I've also long-term fostered rescued greyhounds and kittens.
I’m currently not working, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your furry friend. I’m based in Coburg and happily cover Melbourne’s inner north. I’d love to meet you and your pet. Let’s chat! 






I am an animal lover and absolutely love dogs. I have looked after my own dogs for the last 40 years or so, from Border Collies to Pomeranians. Whilst I don't own a dog at present, is all more reason I want to take care of your dog. Spending time with dogs is the best. I get to exercise and be spoilt by their presence.
In fact, I would prefer dogs over humans any day. Only dog people would understand that statement. Dogs make the best companions and their loyalty is second to none. 
Ideally, I would love to walk dogs. I could also doggy sit them at their home when their owner is away at work, or they’ve gone out for whatever reason. Depending on the dog, I may even be able to doggy sit them at my place. Your dog would be loved and cared for as if they were my own. They will be in very safe hands.

I’m Flor from Argentina. I’ve had pets all my life (dogs and cats simultaneously), and I
consider them part of my family. Every walk is a special moment for them, so I take the time
to go at their pace so they can enjoy it, sharing games and healthy walks. When it comes to home care, it’s also a space for play and cuddles, so they feel safe.I have experience in dog and cat care for 2 years. I’m always ready to listen to what you have to say about your pet, its needs, and preferences, so that the experience for both your pet and you is as pleasant as possible and both feel comfortable.Im responsible, attentive, and always aim to provide the best care for your pet. You can trust me to give them the love and attention they deserve! If you need me, contact me! Hugs!

I am a dog and cat owner and would love to get out of the house more and go on walks!! i am energetic and friendly and have flexible hours when not working!! im not studying currently so i have heaps of free time, however i am working roughly four days a week! i Would just need to contacted before booking so i can make sure i am available for your dogs for a lovely walk&nbsp;
i have owned my little pup for three and a half years now and have a lot of experience with all kinds of dogs!!!
i would prefer to be local to you so i dont run late and always come prepared and on time!&nbsp;
i dont offer other pet services just yet as i am just beginning, but further down the track would love to try them out once i get familiar with your dog!!
i am very keen to start as soon as possible!&nbsp;


Hi There,
My name is Julia and I have my own little Zoo, Daisy (dog) and my cats Cosmo and Taco.
I have grown up around animals my entire life including small- large breed dogs and many varying cat personalities!&nbsp;
I am experienced with walking large dogs and have trained my own girl to walk calmly and well on a leash with no pulling. I am also comfortable with large/ overly excitable dogs and am consistent with training so can maintain your routines.&nbsp;
I focus on enrichment to ensure my dog is happy, healthy and fulfilled and ensure a sniff filled walk which will give your pet an opportunity to explore the outside world (whilst on-leash).&nbsp;
I have experience with cat sitting for various friends and family members and am confident in my ability to handle what can be a nervous situation for many animals.&nbsp;
Services
Can walk 2-3 dogs together, can handle a "pulling" dog.&nbsp;
My dog has hearing impairment, I can communicate and understand deaf dogs very well. 
Confident in following pet medication instructions.&nbsp;
Will provide lots of photos and daily updates when checking in for home visits, as well as cuddles and play for your fur babies!&nbsp;
I am also comfortable and experienced with sphynx cats and older dogs.&nbsp;
Happy to provide a meet &amp; greet before as well to ensure your confidence and my compatability with you pets.&nbsp;
Hope to hear from you soon.
