"Steph is a great house and pet sitter. So helpful, really cares about animals and takes the job really seriously. We have three cats and she was there for them. She was very present with them, getting to know them and sending us lots of updates. The cats told us they'd like us to have her back! Thrilled to have found a good pet sitter and we will use Steph's services again! Thanks again Steph 🙂"

"Valentina and Esteban are highly reliable and trustworthy. They are clearly passionate about dogs and looked after our mini schnauzers, Chester and Monty, with much love, care and fun. They also maintained our house while we were away and kept it very tidy, clean and spotless. I have no hesitation in recommending Valentina and Esteban and will be very happy to use their services again. Thanks"

"Jenn took amazing care of my dog poppy while me and my partner travelled interstate. We got constant updates and photos which really alleviated any anxieties we had about leaving her. Jenn was incredibly respectful of our home and Poppy got a long great with her which was amazing as she struggles to warm up to people. 10/10 Would hire again "

"Vy was an absolute lifesaver—she accepted our booking with less than 12 hours’ notice after our original sitter, Madeleine, let us down. Madeleine overfed the pets, kept the dog locked in, arrived late, and abandoned them the second night after I asked her to let the dog out (locked for over 20 hours). Motion sensors and cameras (she was informed in writing) confirmed she lied about doing it, then canceled and left our pets alone for 24 hours! It was the most distressing time! Stuck in Fiji with limited internet connection and no family support in Melbourne, I honestly hope no one has to go through this!!
Pawshake immediately cancelled Madeleine Oruba.
Thankfully, I found Vy through old messages, and she stepped in instantly! She cared for our senior pets, gave them medication, kept us updated with photos, and flagged issues like peeing on rugs, vomiting and food shortages. The previous sitter had used 8+ tins of cat food in just two days!
Vy is reliable, honest, and an excellent communicator. We’re incredibly grateful she was there when we needed her most. Thank you Vy! "

"We booked Alvina very last minute as our original cat sitter had to cancel, so we were very hesitant going forward, but Alvina exceeded our expectations!
She understood the needs of the cats, both of whom were senior and was very proactive with asking any questions.
She kept us updated every single day, twice a day, with long, informative messages, and plenty of photos. Couldn’t be happier and we would without hesitation use her again, or recommend her to anyone! Alvina is the BEST!"

"Brendan house sat our two whippets for 10 weeks (April - June). We'd never left the dogs for that length of time before and I was apprehensive about leaving them for so long with someone they didn't know. But at our meet and greet I knew we had the right person, and we were able to go away and totally enjoy our holiday without any concerns. Brendan had attention to detail in all areas of our dog's wellbeing and communicated regularly with information/discussion and photos. Due to this we were confident that no matter what situation our dogs could be in Brendan would make wise choices for our dogs best outcomes. Our older boy, Boz suffers with separation anxiety and it takes him awhile to settle in with new people. During these first few weeks there were a couple of days Brendan had other arrangements, and couldn't stay with the dogs. Although we had a family member stay we had Brendan walk/visit Boz & Brianna. I was taken by the amount of time and care he gave them during these few days. Brendan went over and beyond what I was expecting. His care and concern for Boz was amazing. We came home to two very happy, content dogs. Brendan was here when we arrived home and gave us a thorough hand-over. We were also able to see how Boz and Brianna interacted with him; they were very comfortable and relaxed around him, and enjoyed going to him for pats and cuddles. (this was the true testament of their care) After been home for a few days now, our 2yr old is a lot more settled and also better on her lead. Also, Brendan left the house in perfect condition. We will certainly have Brendan look after our two again and would not hesitate recommending Brendan to care for your pets."

"We recently had Prakruti. stay at our home for 6 nights to look after our fur baby and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She went above and beyond to comfort him, keeping him happy and well looked after while we were away. We received regular updates on his meals, walks, and playtime, she shared so many pictures and videos of him doing different activities through the day, which gave us such peace of mind during our vacation.
Not only did she take amazing care of our dog, but she also kept our house clean, watered the plants, and followed every instruction to the letter. It was such a relief knowing everything at home was in safe hands.
We’re so grateful for her dedication and kindness and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!"

"Christina took such amazing care of our 2 cats, and sent great updates to put my mind at ease as well.
One of our cats needs a tablet 2xday and there were no issues at all, I was worried he would hide - I do think Christina is a cat whisperer!
Highly recommend her services and if you're a worrying cat parent like I am, Christina is the perfect sitter for you

"Hazel was a brilliant dog sitter and from the minute she turned up for the meet and greet the dogs loved her; which was amazing since one of them can be a little difficult at times and it meant that we were immediately comfortable leaving the dogs in her care. She was attentive during the meet and greet to the needs of administering medication to the dogs, communication was a breeze and she left the house clean and tidy and laundered bedding. I will definitely use Hazel again when we next need a dog / house sitter. Thank you Hazel....."

"Tania goes above and beyond when she cat sit for Percy. She made in instant connection with him and he was cuddled up in bed with her on the first night. From the start she was highly communicative, patient, very flexible, kind, understanding and knows exactly how to work with cats. The regular updates and photos really gave peace of mind too and were hilarious.
What was only supposed to be a few nights sitting turned into a week, but Tania was so obliging, and was willing to keep sitting him, even happy to take him home with her to help me out and so he wouldn't be lonely. A week later I hired her again, and she once again did an amazing job. Tania guarantees you and your furry friend are both in very good hands and your furry friend will have made a new bestie and will be accompanied basically the entire time. Can't recommend her enough.

"As always, Mel was fantastic looking after our girls for our 10 day trip away. We looked forward each day to seeing photos and hearing what they were all up to. The girls are so well looked after with Mel here, we knew our senior dog was getting her medication and Mel did everything to help her eat as she was having trouble, which is now all better thanks to Mel. I had very little anxiety being away knowing our house and girls were safe with Mel.
Thank you Mel, can’t wait for our next holiday, the girls love you and we appreciate you very much. "

"Matt looked after our two cats and house for nearly three weeks and they absolutely loved him! We got immediate good vibes when we had our meet and greet. He's house and security conscious, and provided us with updates/photos during our trip - this really put our minds at ease so we could enjoy the holiday without worrying about what was happening at home. Our older boy Ghost is a sensitive soul who took a while to warm up and this didn't bother Matt at all. Our little girl Aurora was all over him from the start of his stay! The house was clean and tidy when we arrived home and the cats were beyond happy and well cared for. I think they miss him - particularly Aurora! We wouldn't hesitate to use Matt's pet and house sitting services in the future. We strongly recommend you consider Matt for your pet sitting needs! Thanks Matt!"
