"Donna-Marie was an AMAZING catsitter. She took care of our cats for a week and we couldn't have imagined someone better for our quite shy babies. She doesn't only show up to take care of your cats' basic necessities (food, water, litter)- she goes above and beyond to make sure they're comfortable in her care. We really saw how much time and energy she put into every one of her visits, taking time to play with them, talk to them, and earn her trust. We received lots of pictures and videos every single day which put us at ease as we've never been away from them for this long. I could not recommend her higher for anyone who is in need of cat care!"

"Jacinta was absolutely wonderful. Jacinta was reliable, friendly and incredible with our cats. We were sent cute updates each day and it really put our mind at ease knowing our cats were cared for.
Our two cats are rescue cats and usually very timid and scared of strangers. They shy away and I honestly thought Jacinta would have to leave the food out for sprinkles because she would be too scared to eat in front of a new person. On the first day Jacinta sent me photos of sprinkles not hiding and on day 2 sprinkles was playing with her!!! I honestly could believe it, she has a real understanding for cats behaviours and we are so grateful to have Jacinta come and help us.
Can’t recommend enough 🙏"

"Jacqui is a fantastic pet sitter. I booked her to come twice a day to feed my very shy cat and she was very gentle and kind with him. I arrived home and he was well fed and looked after. Clean litter box, Jacqui also left a lovely note for me. Would book again in a heartbeat. 10/10 😊🐈⬛"

"Jordanna took great care of our cats while we were away for the long weekend. The litter boxes were very clean, and we had many photo updates which helped us to know our cats were being tended to.
Jordanna also managed to convince my shy cat to get some pats! It was very reassuring to know they were getting some cuddles and affection."

"Adrian looked after our cat for 6 weeks while we were on holiday abroad. He has a great knowledge of cats and dogs and even provided us with some very useful tips on cat feeding. He visited us twice before the actual booking dates to familiarise himself with the cat as well as with the surroundings. He updated us with our cat's photos and details of her health after every visit, which was a great relief while we were away for too long. Adrian always checked with us whether something more needs to be done and even offered to buy food for the cat when the supply was running low. We found him to be trustworthy, punctual, systematic and has great compassion towards animals. We will definitely be looking forward to booking Adrian the next time we are away from home! We strongly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a reliable and trustworthy house sitter or a caregiver for their pets. 5 stars!!! Thanks a lot, Adrian!! "

"Marion is the perfect cat sitter. I was worried about leaving my senior cat Coco for 10 days, after recently losing her feline life companion - but Marions visits kept her happy and I was updated daily on her state including photos. On my return I think Coco missed her visits! Do not hesitate to trust Marion with your pet."

"Jenny was amazing! She was all of the things you want in a good pet sitter. Communicative, friendly, respectful of the house and most of all amazing with my cat, Kit.
I would have absolutely no doubt in hiring her again, and I know Kit would feel the same way.
In fact he might be mad if I don't! "

Do you offer dog minding in Melbourne?
Yes, you will find a reliable and experienced dog sitter near you in Melbourne, no matter what side of the Yarra you call home. Just visit Pawshake and search for your suburb to see who is close to you.
How do you verify your dog sitters?
We verify everyone using email, phone and location verification to make sure that everyone on the site is above board. We also carefully review the information on each profile in detail. Dog minders must have proven experience in pet care and a safe home space if they provide in-home care.
How do I book the right dog sitter for my dog?
The best way to book the perfect dog sitter is to browse our website, read some reviews you see on each sitter profile and send a message with your needs to any sitters that look promising. If the sitter is available, meet in person to ask any questions before formally booking.

You will be surprised at how affordable booking a personal dog sitter is. Our sitters usually cost a lot less than a kennel, however with more flexibility and the willingness to provide you with the exact service that you need for your dog.
