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 Melbourne VIC Pawshake cat feeder or carer can help. Our Melbourne 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 Melbourne 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!

I’m clean, responsible, and very attentive to detail. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your home and your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously.

Happy to provide references on request. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends!


Hi! 

I’ve always loved dogs and grew up around them. Since moving to Melbourne, I’ve really missed my own dogs back home, so I’d love to spend time with yours! ️

I’ve looked after Golden Retrievers, a Chow Chow, a Husky￼, an American Akita, a Bichon Frise–Maltese mix, and a Micro American Bully, so I’m comfortable with different breeds and personalities.

I’m currently working from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention they deserve. Whether it’s playing fetch , tug-of-war, going for walks , or simply relaxing with lots of pats and belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.

I offer dog boarding, doggy day care, and dog walking. I always do my best to follow your dog’s routine, so they feel as comfortable as possible.

I currently accept vaccinated small to medium-sized dogs only.

Dog Boarding: 
Meals (provided by you)
Fresh water
Non-injectable medication if needed
Daily walks
Lots of playtime, attention, and cuddles

Doggy Day Care:
Meals (provided by you)
Fresh water
Playtime, walks, and plenty of company throughout the day

Dog Walking:
Whether your pup loves a slow sniff around the neighbourhood or a more energetic walk, I’m happy to tailor each walk to their pace and personality. 

I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! 

Hi! I’m a 24-year-old educator. I grew up on a farm in Germany surrounded by animals, especially dogs. My family had Border Collies and Jack Russells, so I’m very familiar with both energetic working breeds and lively small dogs. Caring for them from a young age taught me patience, confidence, and a deep understanding of dog behaviour.
I offer reliable and personalised dog walking and pet care. Each walk is tailored to your dog’s personality, energy level, and needs, as well as the area we can explore and your goals as an owner. For energetic dogs, I provide structured exercise like brisk walks, jogs, or fetch sessions to help burn off energy safely. For shy or sensitive dogs, I focus on calm, gentle walks and positive reinforcement to build confidence. I also include mental stimulation, socialisation when appropriate, and plenty of attention and affection.
Safety is always my top priority. I use secure leash handling, choose safe routes, and stay aware of my surroundings at all times. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs (max 2) if needed, and I adapt to any special care requirements, such as administering medication or following specific routines.
I love spending time with dogs because they bring joy, energy, and companionship into everyday life. Being able to care for them and help them thrive is incredibly rewarding for me. Every walk is individual, and I make sure your dog comes home happy, relaxed, and well cared for.
The Dog walking and pet sitting is more like a "Hobby" the a Job for me. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals:)
