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 Melba ACT Pawshake cat feeder or carer can help. Our Melba 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 Melba 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!

I love animals, and have been pet sitting and foster caring dogs and cats on and off for most of my adult life. I spent my uni days moving from house-to-house looking after other people‘s fur babies (and plants) and loved it. I’ve always had pets in my family however I don’t have any of my own any more due to semi frequent travelling. So I love the opportunity to care for and have the company of other people‘s beloved pets. I’ve largely been in foster caring with some pet sitting the last five years. There was even one occasion where I was fostering a first-time mother cat that turned out to be pregnant... again! so ended i up with a cat and six kittens for a few months! It was unexpected, they were cheeky and a handful, but it was delightful. I love taking dogs (or cats.. ;) ) for daily walks, and have a number of great walks around my area from along the streets and paths, to dog parks, to beautiful bushy nature walks, depending on your furry friends favourite scenery. The length of the walk will depend on what your friend requires, and there's normally up to 30 minutes twice a day on a work day and weekends up to a few hours if I go out into nature.I am also happy to work with training where needed, and giving them lots of snuggles. My aim is always to hope your furry pal feels just as at home on holidays with me as they do with you.I don’t have any children, pets or housemates and work from home, so I’m home most of the time. and if I head out on a nature adventure i’ll normally take your furry pet with me if they enjoy that. I live in a house and have a secure backyard with high colour bond and high regular fencing.I’d be delighted and feel privileged to take care of your furry friend. Although I am new to paw shake so I’m still building my reviews in here, I have attached a few testimonials regarding my work before joining this site. I’ve also been sitting on another site for the past four months and have a lot of reviews there. I’d be happy to answer any questions if you feel like I might be a good fit for you and your pet.About their stay:One walk is included per night in my fee. If extra walks are required they are charged at five dollars extra as a part of the overnight fee. Your pet is welcome to sleep in with me on the floor, as long as they aren't disruptive during the night (I.e. super loud snoring). Otherwise they have a beautiful space to sleep in my lounge room.I have a reasonable sized fully fenced backyard with a pool. I have shown a photo of the pool gate. when your pet is outside I shut the pool gate so they don't have access to the pool. Mind you your pet will tend to be inside all of the time with me, Unless you prefer them outside. I only generally take them out to go to the bathroom unless you request outdoor time in the yard. Went home I leave the door open to the backyard so they can come in an hour as they please as well. Please note that my overnight fee is for drop off any time from the morning for each 24 hour period. If you require a later pick up that’s totally fine and incurs the doggy daycare fee.Doggy daycare fee is for care for your pet any time between 730am and 630pm. Any care outside of this time incurs the full overnight fee.Pick up time needs to be pre-agreed for all bookings, as I work with clients in the evening and can’t always be flexible if you’re needing a change of time. I do my best to be flexible wherever possible when I don’t have other bookings though.Soiling fee - please note I charge a $50 soiling fee if there are for some reason repeated soilings during your precious friends stay. This is very rare but helps to cover cost of cleaning products and extra time cleaning where this occurs.
I also charge a puppy surcharge, for dogs under 12 months.  We can discuss this at the meet and greet. 
Unfortunately the Pawshake insurance also does not cover any damage to property. If this occurs, I will also have a discussion about reimbursement for replacement of any items. Again this is ever a rare occurrence, particularly if your dog doesn’t tend to chew or soil!

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! ️

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.

My name is Nikita, I have owned dogs and cats my entire life and have owned birds for a large portion of my life. I have been doing pet/house sitting since 2020 and have many regular clients. I am based in the Canberra area but travel and location is not an issue, I will travel as far as Sydney and South Coast. I am comfortable looking after just about all pets, dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, birds ect. I have worked at a vet for about 8 months, so I am confident with administering medication of all kinds and noticing if something is not quite right with your furry friend. I have assisted in birth and neonatal care of puppies since I was 14 years old. I am currently working at a dog kennel and cat flats and have been since 2018. I have experience and confidence with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes, breed is not an issue.

I am currently only offering house/pet sitting at your house, dog walking, pet check ins once or twice a day and doggy outings. I do not have a limit of how long you will be requiring my service or a limit on number of pets. Before you book I would prefer to meet you and your pet/pets so we can make sure we all get along.

Hi, I'm Aimee! I absolutely adore dogs, and have grown up with our family border collie Dot. After moving out of home for uni I desperately miss the companionship of animals, and would love the opportunity to walk/overnight sit dogs to fill this missing void. Happy to take your special four legged family member on long walks/runs and spoil them with love and pats when you're away or just super busy. Most of my experience comes from my own puppy, or from a few neighbourhood dogs I've briefly looked after and walked (including Boxers, Golden Retrievers and Aussie Shepherds). 
I own a car, so I am happy to commute to you. I will have to schedule walks around my busy uni and work schedule, but overall I am pretty flexible. Would love to meet up to get introduced to your dog and find out about their niche quirks and personality!
