You can find a Pawshake dog sitter anywhere in Brisbane, often just within streets of where you live. Our sitting community is in all major towns and cities in Australia, and we are growing rapidly every day.

How do I find a dog sitter through your site?

Hi! I began pet sitting six months ago and had great rapport with my family in Gatton immediately. I am semi-retired and have been a devoted cat lover for many years having had my own sweet persian cat. I now have repeat bookings for puppies and am looking forward to a busy Christmas.I  am now with Pawshake and welcome your enquiries about short and long term pet care. I am happy to look after basic plant watering and rubbish days if you are going away for a while. My only limit is that I live in a multi story building and can't bring pets to my home for this reason. I also prefer visits only rather than overnight stays but welcome visting your pets for a couple of hours daily for cuddles and walks if you are away.I live at Milton in Brisbane but would be ok to travel depending on the length of time required. Please do not hesitate to call me to talk about your needs and arrange an introduction.Kerrie&nbsp;&nbsp;


Hi everyone,
My name is Anikó, I grew up in the Hungarian countryside.  My family always had dogs, cats, pigs, chickens ..when I was a kid I had to look after them. Also our neighbor had ducks, sheep, horses, cattle, where I always sneaked in.   I'm currently the mother of 2 rescued cats. 
I know how hard it is to find a reliable person to look after your pets while you are away, as I have struggled with this in the past. That's why I'm here. I'm not professional but quite confident in taking care of dogs and cats and am not afraid of large pets. I am very happy to reassure you that your fur babies will be in good hands with me. I know all pets have different personalities, but I try to find ways to bond with them and make them feel safe around me.
I work a few days a week so I can offer one or two home visits ( mornings and afternoons 30-40 minutes each time) usually on weekdays, depending on availability as I spend a lot of time at my partners farm in NSW.
Sending regular updates, feeding, cleaning, giving oral medication if necessary.  Also watering your plants, pick up deliveries (we needed that while we were away).
If you have any requirements feel free to contact me and will back to you ASAP.


Hi, there! My name is Billie, and I'm a second year medical student. I moved here from the United States for school, and I'm located in the West End/Southbank area. I miss my shepherd/husky mix, Jax, who is back in the States so much, so helping others with their pets is a great joy to me! Currently, I am on break from school so I have significant time before and after the work day to be able to help with walking, feeding, and checking in on your pet. Whether you need long walks or runs for your dog or just some extra loving for your cat while you have to be away, I'm the girl for the job!
I was previously a dog walker for 3 years, where I helped with daily walks/check ins as well as overnight stays. I have also fostered several dogs and cats with varying levels of energy (&amp; sass!) over the years as well. Some of my fosters were dogs with behavioral issues, and I helped train them so they were the best version of themselves for adoption! I also have grown up with my own dogs and my family's dogs, ranging from goldendoodles to german shepherds to labs. All dogs are the best pups ever, and I would love to meet yours! I look forward to talking to you! :)



I moved to Canberra in 2014 from the states to work at Australian National University. I moved up to the Brisbane area last year. I love exploring all the different areas in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast while looking after the pets and homes of people while they're away. I have reviews available on several house sitting sites.
I can be very gentle and caring with animals. I enjoy being playful with them and doing my best to match their energy level. If they'd like to play, then we can play. If they'd prefer more low key activities, then that works for me as well.&nbsp;
I have managed university residential properties for 20 years. I am happy to do the things required to take care of your pets and your home. I know how to problem solve and deal with any unexpected situations that might arise. I'm not currently working full time, so I have greater flexibility to meet your needs.
I have been pet sitting full time since last May. I have been asked to do multiple sits for over 10 families. I have experience administering medication to cats and dogs. Prior to my most recent stint as a petsitter, I grew up with cats and dogs. I also have pet sit for friends and colleagues over the years.
I'm happy to follow your instructions regarding how best to take care of your pets and home.
I understand the importance of communication. So I'm happy to keep you updated on what's happening with your pet.
I'm willing to do house sits from the Gold Coast to the Sunshine Coast.
I'm normally available mornings and afternoons. I can administer oral medication. My home visits will be 30 minutes. I am able to also water plants and bring in mail. My dog walks will be 30 minutes. I am happy to take your dog for a walk in your neighbourhood. I will ensure your home is kept secure by locking all your doors and windows as required. I can leave external lights on as well. I'm happy to follow your instructions regarding the care of your home and animals.


Hi my name is Suzzanne and a fur mum to 3 cats. I am a huge animal lover! I believe all pets (cats and dogs) should feel loved, safe, well fed and get plenty of exercise and play time. I also love taking photos. So if I am looking after your beloved pet while you’re away or  I am walking your dog, expect to see some super cute pictures. I am happy to work with in your schedule, whether that means coming over to your house to pet sit, walk your dog or to just coming over to feed your pets. I am also happy to water your plants and take in your mail as well. If your animal has a certain diet plan, or medication schedule, I am happy to follow the instructhat you provide.    During the day I work as an acupuncturist and have had training in animal acpuncture.&nbsp;


I came from a family of cat lovers, and I grew up with cats. Back home, my family and I regularly did street feeding for stray cats, and we rescued cats who needed help by sending them to vets and fostering them until we found adopters. As for now, my family back home had four cats, all rescued strays. I terribly miss playing with them, so  I'd like to care for other cats who probably can't spend time with their owners too.
I fully understand that all pets come with their unique personalities and needs, and I will try my best to accommodate that. As their owners, you can tell me about their upbringing and needs, and I will oblige. With my experience, I can provide your cats with basic care: feeding, cleaning litters, and grooming. I can also give them basic oral and topical medication.
As I live in a sharehouse now, I only accept cat sitting in your house. From Tuesday to Wednesday, I'm available from 4 pm onwards, and from Thursday to Sunday I'm usually available all day! I can travel for one hour maximum from St. Lucia to meet your furry friends and befriend them. During my home visit, I can help taking care of your home such as watering your plants and bringing in your mail.
Unfortunately, I can't offer dog sitting or dog walking as I only have few experiences with dogs.

Hello! I'm Emily, a lifelong animal lover. I live with my fiancé, Jordan, and our beloved King Charles Cavalier, Eevee. 
I work part-time as a Registered Nurse, and Jordan is a local GP.

My goal is to make every pup feel safe, loved, and a part of the family. I dedicate a lot of love, time, and energy to the dogs I look after, as I would want someone to care for my own.
