"Lydah is a fabulous house and pet sitter. Lydah is a great communicator, very prompt, followed instructions really well and left our house spotless. Lydah did a wonderful job with our new doggie Daisie who was calm and happy when we returned. Lydah showed great initiative while we were away, and we had a wonderful worry free weekend! Thank you Lydah. Highly recommended!"

"We had the pleasure of first of all meeting Michaela and then having her look after our pets (dog bird fish) nothing was to much trouble for her right from the very start and being first timers she settled our apprehension quickly. I have no trouble recommending Michaela she went above and beyond with her sitting and the animals on our return are still pining for her! 5 star service in all aspects. Thanks again Michaela "

"Cate house sat for us for about 5 weeks.
We have a menagerie of pets that she cared for including chickens, cats and a dog. She managed very well with some minor unexpected issues with the pets. We found her to be very calm and capable. We were able to relax on our holiday knowing she was taking good care of our pets."

Melissa was very dedicated to Ted's care and kept me up to date with all their activities over the weekend by sending through photos. Will definitely keep Melissa as a regular pet sitter- Ted will be very happy :)"

"Karen is the epitome of an excellent cat sitter. She is also undergoing her final year of becoming a Vet so we knew our 3 cats would be in great hands. She provided us with multiple daily updates and pictures of our cats with a brief message on how they were doing, which to us was very much appreciated. She was also very clean and tid. Overall 10/10 we would be using her regularly from now on when available."

"Tracey,
What a fabulous person to be looking after our cats ! As soon as we met Tracey; her first priority was getting to know our 2 cats who as cats are, fairly picky ! The cats took to Tracey, she definitely a cat lover. There was clear & open communication; photos of the cats, this made our holiday more relaxed; as our pets are being well cared for ! Our home was lovely, clean and tidy when we got home. I highly recommend Tracey as a cat sitter "

"Kirstine did a fantastic job housesitting for us 8 nights and looking after our small pets – 1 x 17yo dog, 1 x 17yo cat, 1 x 13yo dog and an energetic 6 yo dog. I was nervous about leaving the seniors as they have health issues and require medication but I needn’t have been concerned as Kirstine was comfortable taking care of senior animals and administering medication. Kirstine came to our home a few times before we left so she could get to know everyone which was important as our 17 yo dog is blind. She updated me regularly with messages and photos, checked if I was happy with the frequency of updates and contacted me to let me know all was OK when there had been a storm as one of the dogs is terrified of storms. When we returned our carpet had been vacuumed, floors mopped, bed linen washed and bed remade, grass watered and poo-free. There was fresh milk in the fridge and chicken necks for the dogs for the following morning so I didn’t need to rush out and shop which was much appreciated. Our flight was delayed but she waited for us to get home and fed everyone so all we had to do was relax. Kirstine is a very caring person and I would highly recommend her as a housesitter. I will be happy for her to look after our pets again when we are away in the future. "

"Heather was just wonderful with our high energy 16mth old foster dog Cookie! Heather is a great communicator and was diligent in checking in for house and pet instructions. We loved getting the pics of Cookie having a great time! Heather is a lovely calm, organised and conscientious carer, I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter! We hope Heather isn't booked out in November when we would love to have her take care of Cookie again! Thanks to Heather we had a great weekend away. "PReview by Peta

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 Canberra ACT 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 Canberra ACT.
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 Canberra ACT 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.
