"We have 3 cats, and they all have extremely different needs and totally different personalities. We had previously had the same pet sitter for over 10 years and this was our first experience of using Pawshake.
We couldn't be happier with Mira. She came to our home prior to the stay to go over the many requirements we had for each cat and just to meet us in general, as I was extremely apprehensive about a new pet sitter that our cats did not know.
One of my cats has extreme anxiety when new people come into our home and she was very accommodating to his needs. I was also worried about them being inside cats and the possibility of them getting out. Mira completely understood this was a major priority for us and was very conscious of ensuring they were kept safe.
Mira sent us photos and updates every day, and after a couple of days of being away my apprehension disappeared and I knew we had made the right choice. They were clearly relaxed and happy. My youngest cat in particular took a real shine to Mira and was besotted with her.
I cannot recommend Mira more highly, she absolutely deserves the 5 stars we have given her. She clearly has an affinity with cats. We will definitely have her come again.
Thanks Mira for being so patient, caring and accommodating to 3 very different cats, all with varying needs. "

"Ben did a great job of house sitting and looking after our two dogs (Bull Arab mix & Staffie/kelpie mix). He communicated well and asked questions when needed. Dogs were walked and fed and he loves animals. Happy to recommend him for future sits."

"Anastasia is the world's best dog sitter, we highly recommend her to look after your beloved doggo(s)! Honey our Golden Retriever had the best time with Anastasia it was a weekend full of adventures with plenty of love and attention.
When your doggo is in the care of Anastasia you can rest assured that your dog is having the time of its life and being treated with love and care as if your dog is her own.
We will definitely be asking her to look after Honey again!"

"
I recently had the pleasure of having Dyan take care of my home and my beloved cat while I was away, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Dyan was professional, reliable, and incredibly attentive.
My cat, who is usually quite shy, immediately warmed up to Dyan, which speaks volumes about her caring nature. She made sure that my cat was well-fed, entertained, and comfortable throughout my time away, sending me regular updates and even some adorable photos, which really put my mind at ease.
When I returned home, I found my house just as I had left it—clean, tidy, and well-cared for. Dyan went above and beyond by taking care of little things I hadn't even thought to ask about, like watering the plants and bringing in the mail.
I highly recommend Dyan to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring house/pet-sitter. She exceeded all my expectations and took exceptional care of both my home and my fur baby. I will definitely be calling on her again in the future!

"Kate was a great sitter for our two pups that can be a handful if you're not aware of dog behaviours. She was professional and tactful with the dogs when we had our first meet & greet. I've had other dog sitters let the dogs jump all over them. I've got a Staffy and a Kelpie cross...not breeds that you should let jump all over you! She also did a wonderful job caring for the house. Kate is trustworthy, and I'd recommend her for your dog sitting needs."

"Margarita was very professional and a great communicator I received updates and pics on a regular basis while my 12 year old anxious dog was in her care. There was no sign of anyone staying in my home when I returned due to the tidy condition it was left in. My dog was happy and I would highly recommend Margarita. "

"Maddy was fantastic. Her communication was excellent and our Labradoodle was very happy spending time with her. Maddy left our house in fantastic condition and even washed and dried the linen she used during her stay. We would thoroughly recommend Maddy and we will definitely engage her for future dog sitting requirements. "

"Witan took such wonderful care of our two cats! They were very happy when we arrived home, which is always a great sign as they can be a little anxious when we are away. Throughout the trip we felt very reassured that they were well looked after and we could reach out at any time as Witan was always very responsive. "

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 Blackburn 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 Blackburn 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 Blackburn 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.
