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!

For me, taking care of animals is more than a job; it fills my heart with love, definitely a pleasure 
I'm Consuelo, a passionate dog lover with a deep connection to these wonderful four-legged companions. My motivation to be a dog walker has its roots in my unwavering love for animals and my desire to provide them with the best quality of life possible.&nbsp;
With years of experience, I've shared my life with dogs since I was a child, experiencing the joy and loyalty they offer. This extensive experience has taught me the importance of tending to their physical and emotional needs.&nbsp;
My primary goal is to ensure that the dogs I care for are happy, healthy, and safe on every walk. Dedication and responsibility, honed over the years of experience, are at the core of my approach to canine care. I'm flexible and adapt to each dog's specific needs, whether it's an energetic walk for active dogs or a calm stroll for the more relaxed ones.&nbsp;
Continuous communication with owners ensures that their beloved dogs receive the attention they deserve.&nbsp;
Please note that I only accept vaccinated dogs for the safety of all.

I'm David, currently 22 years old. I'm from Mexico and I'm here in Melbourne to study and improve my English. Back in Mexico I have two beautiful doogs, una Belgian malinois and a Beagle. I have them since they were puppies, so I have plenty of experience for this. I missed them so much and I'm looking to look out for some pets around here. 
I have lots of experience in taking care, waking and even giving them baths, I love spending time with animal in general and playing so they can have a great time. 
I can show some pictures of my experience and of my two baby's'. 
Will be in Melbourne until next years, looking for some opportunities to survive haha, I'm currently in Southbank but can move around to help you with your dogs! I'm free weekdays after 2pm and can also work on weekends! 
I can walk the dogs for up to one hour each service and willing to provide medicines as long as I receive the information. The normal things like feeding and providing water it's guaranteed!
Thank you!

I'm a Dog lover, if I could, I would adopt all the abandoned dogs living on the streets.My service consist in taking out your dog for good and fun long walk for 1 hour, we can walk around the suburb.
I have 2 dogs, I have them since they were puppies both are soon to be 5 years old.  Nala is a Golden Retriever (37kg) and Aslan is an Alaskan Malamute  (40kg).  I used to take them twice a day, one in the early morning and the other one in the afternoon around 6pm.
I'm from Colombia, and I moved to Melbourne 7 months ago.  I had to leave my dogs behind with mom but hopefully I'm looking for the way to be able to bring them all next year.
Dogs are therapeutic for me, they are that special thing that no matter if I'm having a really bad day, seeing a Dog always puts the biggest smile on my face.&nbsp;
Now that I'm starting a new life in Australia, I want to do something that I genuinely love and that's being around Dogs, taking a walk with them, taking them to the park, or taking care of them
It will make me the happiest person if you give me the opportunity to take out your dog for a good and fun walk around the suburb, or to the park (depends on your preferences).
I'm pretty sure she/he would have a really good time with me.



Hello!&nbsp;
My name is Peta and I've loved walking, dogs and walking dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mother ran a small non-for-profit dog rescue that I spent my childhood helping manage, meaning I have extensive experience with a wide range of breeds and temperaments. I know that each pooch has their own history, personality and needs and understand how to create a trusting bond between myself and the pup.&nbsp;
I offer both dog walking and sitting services. Depending on what you and your pooch need, the length of our walks can range from 30 minutes to an hour and a half and will primarily happen on weekday mornings. I am the proud mother of a 9 year old Fox Terrier and we go on daily walks, so we know some great spots that will suit all kinds of dogs. I can also bring him along if your pooch desires a friend!
When looking after your dog at home I am willing and able to administer medication, feed and water your pooch, keep their living area clean and engage them in basic behaviour training and/or play! The length and responsibilities of home visits can be negotiated client to client but generally I am able to stay overnight, making sure your pup has had a walk, dinner and breakfast and am happy to do small household tasks such as put out the trash and water the plants while I'm there. I will always conduct myself professionally and with utmost discretion when in and around your pet/home.
With every arrangement I am happy to send you updates and will be sure to communicate when required. I also have access to a car if your dog needs to be transported anywhere during our booking.&nbsp;
I can't wait to meet you and your dog!
