Hello, 

I am a 26 y/0 woman from England very much so missing her pets! I would love to take care of those and give back. I am very sporty and love being outdoors so if your pets are keen for little trips to the beach to splash in the ocean or the woods for a good sniff I'm your girl! 
I have two family dogs at home in England, a chihuahua named peanut and our oldest dog George, a fabulous jack russel who is the ripe old age of 17 and currently travelling Europe with my sister! I trained both dogs from puppies and have a keen knack for it. My dogs are trained so that they do not need a leash to be walked. 
I love all animals and looking after my siblings pets and my friends has always been in my best interests to spend quality time with all walks of furry friends! 
I first came to Australia to be a live in au pair, I love helping others and am grateful for every opportunity I have been given! 
Informing you when I have arrived at the property to great your pets is a must and when I leave to that you can be assured that they have been taken care of! Happy to provide photographs if needed
I understand that every pet is different and aim to treat each pet accordingly with their personality! Any dietary or health needs to be discussed prior to ensure the best quality care. 
I hope you pick me, your pets would be in the bestest care. 


Hi, I'm Afshin, an animal lover with a professional background in Animal Science and a genuine passion for animal care and welfare. I have many years of experience working with and caring for different animals, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behaviour, wellbeing, and individual needs. In addition to my academic background, I have completed animal Care Levels 1 and 2, covering animal ethics, welfare standards, and proper animal handling (including different pet animals). I have also attended several animal welfare workshops to further develop my knowledge of responsible and compassionate pet care.
I offer pet sitting in your home, house sitting, home visits, and dog walking services. Whether your pet needs feeding, exercise, medication administration, playtime, or simply companionship while you're away, I will provide attentive and personalised care based on their usual routine. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to build trust and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment.
I am reliable, responsible, and communicative, and I understand how important it is for owners to have peace of mind while they are away. During bookings, I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can stay connected with your pet and know they are being well cared for.
I am comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and other small pets, and I am happy to follow detailed instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medications, and any special needs. My goal is to provide a safe, caring, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.
I look forward to meeting you and your lovely family members! 

Hello :) I'm Louisa, in my early 30s, and originally from Germany. After completing my Master's degree (Global Health) in Sweden, I moved to Australia with my partner about a year ago and have been able to gather ample of pet sitting experience.
I primarily offer pet care in the home of pet owners and therefore enjoy walking dogs in their familiar surroundings. This maintains routines, so the dogs feel safe and can enjoy their familiar paths and favourite places.
I lived with my own dog for over 13 years. She was a rescue and a beloved family member to me. Through her, I learned not only about the daily care but also the responsibility and patience required to provide an animal with a happy life.&nbsp;
During my travels, I was also able to gain valuable practical experience: In Romania, I worked at an animal shelter and a clinic for dogs and cats, in Spain, I helped at a dog rescue center, and in Malaysia, I supported a cat rescue. My duties there included administering medication, bottle feeding, and providing intensive care for sick and young animals.&nbsp;
In addition, I took on numerous pet-sitting assignments last year, including around 20 multi-day assignments in Australia – many of them for recurring clients.&nbsp;
I am excited to expand this network through Pawshake :)


Hey! I'm Lori, I'm 30 and I'm obsessed with animals. I work part time as naturopath and am super active outside when I'm not working! It clicked last year once I realised how I always stop to pat every dog on my walks, that I would LOVE to do it as a job on my days off so here I am! I have 2 rescue cats of my own, but also grew up with 2 family dogs. I love them like my absolute children and would love to give yours my love and time as well. I regularly housesit my family, friends and colleagues' pets and want to meet more of the community as well! I offer dog walking (30min / 1hr) and daytime house check-ins / feeds for cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits and birds of all age and size. My best days for walking are Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday but house check-ins can be flexible with my other job. I have my license and can drive to you, and take your pup to the beach if requested. I am safe with walks, and will respect other dogs by always keeping your loved one on a leash with a firm grip. I am calm with emergency situations, and will always keep you updated. I also follow and respect individual feeding requirements and routines - with regular check ins with photos/updates/messages to you. Due to my two cats already, I will only allow myself coming to your home as my home is not suitable for other pets. Located in Newcastle, can drive all over town with additional fees for 20km+ of distance to Central Coast / Nelson Bay areas.

&nbsp;Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Over the years I’ve shared my home withcats, dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs, and each one has brought so much joy and personality into my world. I’ve volunteered with ACT Wildlife, caring for injured and orphaned native animals, which deepened my understanding of animal behaviour and the importance of gentle, patient care. &nbsp;
After many years as a teacher, I’m now taking time to slow down and focus on something that feels truly meaningful, spending time with animals. I’m calm, reliable and caring. I understand how much trust ittakes to leave your pets in someone else’s hands. Whether it’s walking, feeding or just keeping them company while you are away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and loved. &nbsp;
I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and comfort level. With anxious or shy animals, I move at their pace and create calm, positive experiences. For older pets or young puppies, I’m gentle and patient, keeping walks short and safe, avoiding hot or wet weather, and steering clear of busy or stressful places.Every animal is different, and I adjust my care to suit their needs so they can relax and enjoy themselves.&nbsp;
From teaching children to treating paws, I will become your pet's new best friend!&nbsp;&nbsp;


With a lifelong passion for animals, I've cherished the companionship of various furry, feathery, and fluffy friends throughout my life. From a young kid and growing up on a farm, I've had all kinds of pets, ranging from cats, budgies, rabbits and three big bull mastiffs which I have loved. Now, we have a 2 year old Groodle named Teddy who loves playing with other dogs just as much as treats and cuddles. Teddy runs our house hold and demands lots of attention which we love to give and would treat any one pets just the same. 
Teddy thrives on daily adventures, puppy play dates, walks through the neighborhood, and run arounds at the ovals nearby. Teddy is very friendly with all dogs of all shapes and sizes. We have a large backyard, fully fenced for the dogs to run around and play in. We also have the ability to separate the dogs if they need some cozy sleep time on the lounges/ or their beds. 
 Pet services 
My partner and I regularly work from home, so your pet will always have company.
We normally do 1-2 daily walks for up to 45 minutes and regularly visit local cafes and ovals with Teddy.
We can administer pet medications.
We can board 2 pets at any one time.
Our home 
We have a large fully fenced and secure backyard with lots of grass for pets to play
We are happy to have pets sleep inside, either in our lounge room, laundry or in our room if they are anxious.
We have seperate rooms to give your pets some downtime if required, or space for slow eaters to finish their meals.
We look forward to loving your pet by giving lots of cuddles, walks and treats.

My name is Calysta and I am from Indonesia. I am a dog lover. I have 2 dogs back in my home town, and i really love to spend time with them. Since I moved to Australia, I really want to have a dog as my pet, but unfortunately I can't make it happen due to a lot of consideration.
To be honest, this is my first time looking for a job as a pet sitter, and i believe that I will enjoy this job so much ( as this is actually one of my dream since I arrived in Australia ) I am more than happy to take care of them, feed them, take them to walk, and play with dogs, and for sure I will keep on updating the owner when I'm taking care of the dog.
I prefer to take care vaccinated pets as it will guarantee more safety for me and the dog.&nbsp;

Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover who understands how important it is to find someone you truly trust to care for your pets. As a pet owner myself, I know how much peace of mind it brings to know your furry family members are safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away. My motivation for pet sitting comes from wanting to be the kind of sitter I would look for to care for my own fur babies, someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely loving toward animals.
I have experience dog sitting in my own home, providing daily walks, visits to the dog park, and plenty of companionship and playtime. I’ve cared for a wide range of pets including cats, small and large dogs, energetic puppies, and older pets who need a calmer pace. I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities and energy levels to make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for.
My services include dog walking and daily home visits where I can feed, play with, and spend quality time with your pets so they feel relaxed and happy in their familiar environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always aim to give them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve.


Hi, I’m Candan,

I’m an animal lover with a calm, caring nature and a genuine passion for pets. Whether it’s cuddly cats, playful pups, or shy little creatures, I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality.

I have experience caring for pets of all ages and sizes, and I understand the importance of routine, affection, and safety. Whether you need someone for daily walks, overnight stays, or just some company for your furry friend while you’re away, I’m here to help.

I work full-time from Monday to Thursday, but I’m available to care for pets after 5 PM on those days. I’m completely free on Fridays and weekends, giving me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I live with my husband, and both of us are absolutely obsessed with animals! Our backyard is fully fenced and secure, providing a safe space for playtime, and there’s a lovely park nearby where I offer one-hour dog walks. We also have a variety of toys for both dogs and cats to enjoy.

If your pet needs medication, I’m comfortable and experienced in administering it, ensuring they get the care they need.
For everyone’s safety, I only accept fully vaccinated pets into my home. I share my space with a sweet, well-behaved senior cat who is very calm and used to other animals. If your pet wants extra snuggles, they are more than welcome to sleep with us - our home is their home while they stay with us!

I’m happy to share photos and videos whenever you’d like, so you can see how much fun your pet is having and feel at ease while you’re away.

You can count on me to treat your pet like family—with love, attention, and plenty of care. I’ll always make sure your pet feels happy, secure, and loved in your absence.

Looking forward to meeting you and your beloved companion
