"We recently entrusted our beloved 8-year-old Labrador, Posto, to Cathy for a few days, and we could not be more thrilled with the experience. From our initial meeting to the moment we picked him up, it was clear that Cathy offers more than just pet-sitting—she offers a truly nurturing, home-like environment where dogs are treated as cherished family members.
The Initial Impression: Professionalism Meets Empathy -
Before the stay, we were immediately impressed by Cathy's professionalism. She asked thorough questions not just about Posto’s physical needs (feeding schedule, medication, walk routine) but also about his personality, his comfort cues, and any anxieties he might have. As an 8-year-old Labrador, Posto is past his puppy phase and is settling into his senior years. While still energetic, he appreciates his routine. Cathy listened intently, showing a genuine empathy that immediately put us at ease.
She didn't treat him like "just another booking"; she treated him like a valued individual. This attention to detail during the consultation phase was the first major sign that we had made the right choice.
The Stay: Unwavering Care and Comfort
The quality of care Posto received during his stay was nothing short of exceptional. The primary goal we had for any sitter was to ensure Posto felt "at home," and Cathy delivered on this promise beautifully.
Maintaining Routine and Comfort -
Labs thrive on routine, and Cathy expertly maintained Posto’s established schedule. His mealtimes were punctual and his walks were stimulating. This consistency is crucial for an older dog, as it minimizes stress and confusion.
More importantly, Cathy went above and beyond to replicate the comforts of our own house. She allowed Posto to snuggle on approved furniture (just like he does at home), had a dedicated space for his favourite blanket and toys, and created an environment that was calm and predictable. This intentional effort to recreate his familiar surroundings is what truly made him feel at ease.
Communication: Peace of Mind Ensured
The communication throughout the booking was outstanding. We received regular updates, beautiful photos, and even short videos that honestly made our time away much more relaxing. Knowing Posto was not just okay, but was genuinely happy and thriving, allowed us to fully enjoy our trip without any underlying worry.
The Farewell: A Happy, Relaxed Dog
The ultimate measure of a great dog sitter is the state of the dog upon pickup. When we arrived, Posto was relaxed, clean, and demonstrably happy. There were no signs of stress, agitation, or anxious energy. He greeted us with his usual enthusiasm but was clearly just as comfortable saying goodbye to Cathy—a clear indicator that a strong, positive bond had formed during his stay.
In conclusion, Cathy exceeded all our expectations.
Thank you, Cathy, for treating Posto like gold!"

"May and Ye made our dogs Aria and Rupert feel welcome at their home. They were both very friendly. They made sure Aria and Rupert settled in their home and their dog also. They sent me an update how the dogs were going and some photos. The photos showed they were settled and enjoyed themselves. The backyard was big that the dogs loved running around and playing. I would recommend May and Ye because they are easy to communicate and helped our dogs settled in because it was their first time to be in a dog sitter’s home and they enjoyed it. Not only are they good dog sitter they are also price affordable. I will definitely use them again in the future.
Thanks May and Ye for looking after Aria and Rupert. We are very happy we picked you as Aria and Rupert’s dog sitters. We will definitely used your service again and will recommend to others. Thank you "

"I like to give my honest & positive reviews to Chris & Yuhan. From the moment they met my girl, I could tell they are a true animal lover. I was feeling abit nervous leaving my girl behind the first 2 days but Chris & Yuhan completely put my mind at ease. They sent regular updates and photos, great communication, they followed my feeding, the daily routine instructions perfectly.
My girl bonded with them so well and it was such a comfort to know my fur baby were in such safe, attentive hands. They both treated my girl like a baby indeed, spoiled and loved by them so much. I also want to give a special shout out to Yuhan putting extra efforts cleaning & tying up my girl's hair, brushing daily. I really appreciated it. They are the best dog sitters I've met, genuinely great people. Highly recommend!"

"We take this opportunity to really thank Joemol of JT’s Pet Club – a real pet loving family for their customised support who took excellent care of our 16 week old puppy “Skye” for 3 days at their house during the second week of April 2019. Even though it was 3rd time we used the service, we were overwhelmed by the way our puppy connected and behaving with them during the ‘meet-and-greet” and that affectionate approach made us to decide straight away in their favour. They both relate well with our puppy and easy to deal with. We are more than happy with the way both Joemol & her husband Binsu looked after our little girl Staffy.
Witnessed their professional approach and good communication flow, which was highly exceptional to meet our customised needs for Skye. This loving family (including their little daughter who was playful with our puppy) and after our holidays when we reached to pick Skye up, we felt that Skye is energetic, playful and nothing was lacking in her care.
Our family cannot thank and compliment them enough, as they took great care of our small girl and they went above and beyond with their service and care. We will definitely using their service next time and we highly recommend with great confidence and can assure that your pet will be receiving the best of care and experience. Thank you once again to your entire family Joemol.!!!!"

Miller had the most wonderful time with Lisa and her two doggies! She didn’t want to come home with us!
Lisa kept us updated with daily photos and reports of their adventures together.
We would very highly recommend Lisa & Hazel to anyone looking for loving, caring dog sitters for your own doggie!"

"Joey is an incredible dog sitter, she treated our husky puppy as her own. We were worried leaving such a high energy pup with someone but Joey went above and beyond. She kept both our puppy and ourselves comfortable and reassured throughout the stay with lots of updates and photos. We’re joyed to have found not just a dog sitter, but a second parent to our pup. Can’t recommend enough.

"Ravi is a fantastic dog sitter!! My dog stayed with him for two days. He sent me heaps of updates, including videos of my dog on walks, taking her meds, going for walks, and playing ball inside the house. Ravi is very careful to manage the interactions between his dogs and the dogs he has staying -- so there were no problems in that regard. My dog can get a bit anxious when left alone, so I really appreciated that Ravi and his family were able to always have someone at home to keep her company. Overall, A++ would recommend! "

Why dog boarding ?
For pet parents, one of the hardest things about going to work each day is wondering what your dog will get up to while you are gone. At Pawshake, we understand that dogs need activity and interaction during the day, so why not book your dog with one of our trusted sitters in Toolern Vale VIC for a doggy day care service? You can drop your dog off at the sitter’s home on the way to work or organise with your local Toolern Vale VIC Pawshake sitter to pick up and drop off your dog for you.
Pet day care is a great way to keep your dog mentally and physically active during the day so that you can come home to a happy, relaxed dog. Pawshake’s home day care service is great for young dogs who need constant supervision: puppy daycare allows your pup to maintain a consistent routine, which is important during the toilet training process. It’s also a great option for dogs who need extra care and attention, or those who are extra active.
Our sitters who offer doggy day care and puppy daycare services are more adaptable than your average big day care centre. Numbers are kept small and some Pawshake sitters will only take in one dog at a time. This means they can work around your timing and any special requirements your dog may have. So, let your four-legged best friend enjoy their day with a fun and loving Toolern Vale VIC sitter who will shower them with love and dedicated attention. On top of that, you will also get photos and updates during the day so that you can follow your dog’s day care adventures!
Every day care booking also comes included with The Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer service support 7 days a week and more.
