Top cities for house sitting in Australia

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 Barwon Heads 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 Barwon Heads 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 Barwon Heads 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.

Hi! I’m a friendly and responsible pet sitter who truly enjoys spending time with animals. Being around pets brings me a sense of calm and happiness, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.

My motivation comes from my genuine love for animals and the trust that pet owners place in me. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I always take time to get to know their habits, energy levels, and preferences.

I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, and companionship. My walks usually last around 30–60 minutes depending on your pet’s needs, and I enjoy taking them to safe, pet-friendly areas such as parks or quiet neighbourhood streets. For more active pets, I’m happy to include playtime; for shy pets, I focus on creating a calm and gentle environment.

I’m attentive and patient, and I always monitor pets closely. In case of any unexpected situations, I stay calm and will contact you immediately while ensuring your pet’s safety comes first.

I’m generally available on flexible schedules and can adjust to your needs. I also like to keep owners updated with messages and photos, so you can feel安心 knowing your pet is in good hands.

For safety reasons, I prefer vaccinated and well-socialized pets, especially for home stays. Cleanliness and a safe environment are very important to me.

If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and pays attention to the little details, I’d love to take care of your pet. 

Hi there!&nbsp;
I love caring for the animals in my life and it would be a privilege to do the same for your pets.
I am a lawyer, and can offer pet-sitting services on the weekends and some weekdays.
I am outgoing, responsible and diligent, and the love and care I share with my own pets has inspired me to become a pet-sitter. I will happily care for any creature big and small. I love running, walking, and generally being active, so will happily walk and play to your pet(s)' desire.&nbsp;
I can offer pet-sitting services at my place, and will gladly come to you! I am very considerate and will always respect your space and any instructions for the care of your pet.
I live in the Torquay area but have a car and am willing to travel anywhere in greater Geelong. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!
P.s. Please do not hesitate to contact me even if your dates do not align with my stated availability -- I may be able to help anyway.&nbsp;


Previous experience as a Veterinary Nurse, lover of all animals, parent to Senior Dog Caesar who is still spry as a puppy and Paso Fino horse Cas.
Animal care is my full time job which allows me to provide a premium personal service that is unmatched by larger chains, who can sometimes have less experienced staff looking after far too many dogs at once. With me, you can assured that your pets will receive the highest level of care, attention and safety that can be provided.&nbsp;
I would love to help you keep your pup happy and healthy by getting them out and about, or caring for them whilst you are away.&nbsp;
I am highly capable with dogs both small and XXL and always happy to run the extra mile (literally and figuratively) to make sure that you and your pups have the most amazing experience with us.&nbsp;&nbsp;
I have spent the last 25 years of my life around dogs and other animals, studying Zoology at university with a keen interest in animal behaviour and training. My boy Caesar is a glowing testimate to the positive results and influence that is provided by hard work and consistency.&nbsp;
I do not have any children in the house, and have no issues with building the confidence of dogs that may have issues with any number of behavioural problems, including pulling on the lead, fear aggression and lack of social skills.&nbsp;
I am able to run with your dogs, just in case they have an excess of energy that they just can't get out with a regular walk.
I also have a dog scooter which can help with those high intensity pups who need to run all day, along with a special sled harness that will help them keep comfortable whilst they burn off that energy.&nbsp;
I am confident with keeping your dog safe even in the busiest of areas, and have a very good eye for when the situation is going to excalate, and will always remove them from danger well before there is any danger of harm to your dog or others in the area.
I have the ability to separate dogs that don't get along with others without impacting the care that they receive, so please let me know if this is something that you might require :)
I look forward to hearing from you and how I can help keep your pup healthy and happy!

Service specific information
Dog walking&nbsp;
For the base listed rate it is required that your dog is:

lead trained (walk without pulling, basic obedience etc. )&nbsp;
does not have any behavioural issues that impact their suitability to be walked in public

Additional charges will apply for dogs who do not meet these requirements depending on severity until the requirements are met.
Training to address these issues can be provided at an additional cost, but does not include any handler training for the owner nor any guarantee that this training will be effective outside the context of walks provided by us.&nbsp;

Dog boarding and Daycare services

Boarding and daycare services do not include a dog walking service for your dog.&nbsp;&nbsp;
An add on service of dog walking can be requested at a reduced rate for boarding and daycare dogs, and are bound by the same requirements as a stand alone walking service.&nbsp;
Walks that are not requested as a service by the owner may be provided by us with the permission of the owner at no additional charge, solely at our discretion and convenience as an additional bonus for well behaved dogs.&nbsp;

If your dog requires a walk, please do not rely on a bonus walk to occur as this is not guaranteed nor part of the included service. 


I'm a Bellarine local, absolutely love dogs and cats and can't wait to meet your pet! I'm a trustworthy pet lover with plenty of love to give! Happy to host, pet sit, walk or run your pet. I would love a dog myself but can't adopt at this stage of life, my rescue cat is a huge personality! I will send you lots of pics of your loved one and ensure they stay as happy as can be in your absence! Open to hosting or sitting in your house, feel free to give me a call to chat and I can work around your needs. Open to looking after any pet (big or small) and ensuring they get all the love they need while you're away. My schedule is flexible as I work from home majority of the time, and have a fully fenced front and back yard. I'm on 600sqm of land and live right near the beach so there's plenty of opportunity for beach and park walks!
I'll ensure you're able to feel relaxed and enjoy your holiday as you deserve a break too!! 

Hi, my names Olivia and I'm an experienced pet sitter from Geelong. I have been pet sitting for almost 6 years and have looked after a range of different pets of all ages and breeds/types. I have such a love for animals and am very caring towards them. I can do at home care, take them on walks, feed them, really open to help out with anything. I have a very flexible schedule (dependent on having enough notice) so I should be able to help out whenever you need me. I am a great communicator, very trustworthy and love being active. I have a dog of my own, a cavoodle named Bindi. She is 13 and getting old but has had an incredible life. I will always care for your animals like my own and I hope I can help you out with your sitting needs :) Reach out if you have any questions!

I am a passionate animal enthusiast who genuinely loves caring for all pets big and small. Although I am currently a full time high school teacher, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have been involved in the animal industry for over 8 years now and counting. My experiences include working in a puppy daycare and cattery, as well as being a receptionist in veterinary hospitals. I was also the Adoption Coordinator for Cat Rescue Dunedin when living in NZ. Being part of rescue work, I have also fostered hundreds of kittens over the years, many of which were bottle fed around the clock. It's a tough job, but such a rewarding experience it holds a very special place in my heart.
Dog walking is second nature to me, and I really enjoy getting out and about. When walking my own dog I like to go for a good hour to get that exercise in, but I am willing to work around what suits your dog! I can stay around your neighbourhood, or have a car to transport them to a beach or park if that is what they would prefer.
I share my life with 3 of my own fur-babies: Nina, an energetic Cavoodle, Simba, my clever ginger cat who thinks he is human, and Hermione, my super affectionate princess. With these three ruling the house, I am not able to board your pets at my own place, but more than happy to visit your pets or house sit in your home. I am happy to handle medications, stick to feeding plans and any additonal needs your pets may need. If you have any chickens, sheep, horses or goats that need fed in addition to your cats and dogs, rest assured I have them covered too! I understand all too well how stressful it can be to go away leaving your pets with someone that's not yourself. I can guarantee your pets will be treated like my own. I will love them and genuinely care for them, making sure they are happy and well. I always send plenty of photo updates and communicate often for your peace of mind. 
I look forward to hearing from you soon!



My name is Celeste and I live in Torquay with my husband and two small dogs. I've loved animals my whole life (especially dogs) and I grew up loving and caring for a huge range of different pets (dogs, cats, horses, chooks, budgies, pidgeons and even a rat).I work from home part-time and am thrilled to welcome other small/medium-sized dogs (under 10kg) into our dog-haven home for doggy daycare or pet sitting in our home.

We have a large garden with a big stretch of grass perfect for fetch and playing, along with a surrounding perimiter of garden bed, perfect for all the sniffing and fossicking. Our house has a dog door, allowing our boys to come in and out as they please. We spoil our dogs rotten and your pets will be treated with exactly the same love and care.
If preferred, I also offer pet sitting in your own home. In this instance my dogs remain at my property so that I can give my full attention to caring for your pet(s).&nbsp;
