"We felt absolutely comfortable leaving our two cats in Joe's hands (apart from missing them while we were gone!). Joe is reliable, punctual, conscientious and a warm and lovely person, and he has genuine animal expertise and good instincts. Regarding the home, I consider myself a bit obsessive when it comes to neatness and cleanliness: Joe left our flat spotless. The cats seemed stress-free and happy when we arrived home - Joe kept in touch regularly with photos of the relaxed felines in his company. We warmly recommend Joe for pet-sitting and house-minding."

"Diana and her husband Sebastian were absolutely amazing pet sitters for our 2 little cats. They honestly looked after them soo well, I felt so comforted that they were in the best hands. They were so warm and loving to our cats and it absolutely showed when we came home, they were really shown so much love the whole time we were gone, they even got some new toys for them. We got great updates from them about the cats antics throughout the week. The house looked great when we got home and we absolutely will be using Diana and Sebastian as our pet sitters again in the future. 😊

"Jason has looked after our Sphynx cat through house sitting our apartment twice now, and has been exceptional on both occasions. He is caring, good at communicating, and an all-round reliable pet sitter. Our cat was well looked after and relaxed when we returned from our 1-2 week trips. We highly recommend him. "

"Our family was delighted to meet Marcela to look after our large breed dog and 18yr old cat. Our dog was fond of her as soon as they met.
Marcela firstly arrived at our house for a meet and greet and met us again just before we were leaving for our trip. She organised a park play for our dog to understand his outdoor routine and came back to our house to go over both pets needs for when we were away.
Her communication was daily with photos and videos.
Anything I had missed to explain she covered immediately.
Our family felt an instant trust with Marcela and this was proven by her reliability and her amazing care she took of our pets and house. She gave more than we expected.
Marcela gave us peace of mind to travel far from home and we are so grateful for meeting her.
I highly recommend her services and can not praise her enough.
I will definitely be contacting her for future jobs."

"Sam was a brilliant dog/house sitter and our dogs loved her. Our two young dogs are a challenge at the best of times but Sam took in her stride everything they threw her way, including steak stealing, escaping from Alcatraz and sneaky pees.
The house was spotless when we returned and I am not sure the dogs missed us at all. Her regular photo updates were priceless and gave us the reassurance we needed that everyone was OK.
I cannot recommend Sam highly enough and I am already trying to secure her services for Christmas."

"Once again Danielle provided exceptional love and care for my two beautiful feline boys. I think she might be a cat whisperer as they clearly just moved straight into her care without a problem. She provided wonderful photos at least twice a day and updates on their behaviour and moods. She clearly cares for Sam and Dexter very much and I felt confident being away from them while she was looking out for them. She also left my house in immaculate order for which I am hugely grateful. Cannot recommend her highly enough. She is a true animal lover and a gem of a house sitter. No wonder she is in such high demand. Thank you Danielle !! "

"I can't recommend Chiao Lun ( Alice) highly enough! They took amazing care of my pets Oreo and Inky while I was away, and I felt completely at ease knowing my furry family member was in such loving hands.
From the beginning, Alice was professional, responsive, and kind. They made sure to follow all care instructions, sent regular updates and photos, and clearly treated my pet like one of their own. When I returned, everything was spotless, and my pet was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for.
If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals, Alice is the one. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!"

She went above and beyond, washing bedding/towels and setting up our bed. We highly recommend Kimi for cat and house sitting, she is wonderful! "

He house sat for us for several weeks while we were overseas and he looked after the dogs and house very well. Could not be happier. :)"

"Lara and Nahuel were great house and pet sitters for my little toy poodle and I would highly recommend them.
They were responsive and accomodating from the beginning, coming over to the house for an introduction and then another time to pick up the keys. They also were able to stay at my place until I was sure my plane had landed safely to return home. It was the first time I’ve left my dog for so long and they doted over him and made sure he was happy. My dog has anxiety and they made sure to give him lots of cuddles. They sent me updates throughout my trip which put my mind at ease. They are a lovely couple and left the house nice and clean and tidy with bedding washed. Thank you Lara and Nahuel for allowing me to enjoy my holiday without having to worry. "

"I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter
From the very beginning, Ellie took the time to really understand my cats’ personalities, routines, and little quirks, which meant so much to me because Luki and Rex can be quite particular and anxious. While I was away, I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring and attentive hands.
She went above and beyond — not just feeding and cleaning, but genuinely engaging with them, playing with them, and making sure they were comfortable and stress-free. I loved receiving updates and seeing how relaxed and happy my cats were in their own home environment.
It’s clear Ellie truly cares about animals, and it shows in the way she handles even the small details. Coming home to calm, well-looked-after cats was the best feeling.
I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend Ellie to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely amazing pet sitter."

Why house sitting ?
Are you going away but have a pet that prefers to stay in their own environment? Or perhaps you have a range of different animals and it’s not practical for you to organise for them to stay in different places? Then you might want to consider finding a Pawshake house sitter to come and stay at your Balaclava VIC home while you are away.
House sitting is a convenient and affordable option when you have multiple pets and also want your house to be securely looked after while you are away. Many of our pet sitters have very reasonable house sitting rates because they enjoy staying and exploring different local neighbourhoods like Balaclava VIC.
At Pawshake, we understand that trusting your home to a stranger can be a little daunting. So we’ve done all the hard work to ensure that your Pawshake house sitter is trustworthy and reliable. All our pet sitter profiles are checked individually by our dedicated trust and safety team and some house sitters also have their own police checks which they can share with you.
The best thing about engaging a Pawshake verified house sitter is that you can relax knowing that on top of being covered by The Pawshake Guarantee which includes veterinary coverage, so your pets are being cared for in a familiar environment and your Balaclava VIC home is also being looked after as well.
In addition to looking after your pets, most of our house sitters will happily help you by collecting your mail, taking out the bins, and watering your plants. Just make sure you discuss all your requirements with your chosen house sitter prior to booking.
