"Was great to go away on long trip overseas and have zero concerns about the pets and the house. One of our cats has lost weight in the past when we have gone away but not this time which goes to show Piper and Liam can bond with tricky pets. Highly recommended, thank you Piper and Liam, will be contacting you again soon. "

"Anne has looked after my cat more than once now. Was happy to be flexible with arrangements fairly last minute and was very prompt to reply. Anne went over and above caring for him and sent regular updates and photos. It’s so reassuring coming home to a calm pet and would definitely recommend to anyone needing a pet sitter. "

"Helen came and stayed with our 4 animals (2 dogs, 2 cats) for 11 days in Oct 24. She was so lovely and caring towards them during her stay. She provided regular and detailed updates and provided a very comfortable lap for our very inside animals. She was calm and patient with our puppy, who absolutely adored her. The house was very clean and tidy when we got home. Would not hesitate to have Helen stay here again! Thank you so much. "

"Sarah went above and beyond to care for my very sick cat who almost died when I was overseas. She looked after both my pets with a lot of love and care and I have no words to thank her.
She regularly communicated and sent photo updates of both my boys. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitting angel. I know my fur babies will always be safe, loved and cared for under her watch. "

"Brenton and Angela cared for our dog and cat over the xmas and NY break. From our first meeting we knew we had chosen the perfect sitters. Brenton and Angela are warm, friendly, attentive and always had our pets best interest in mind.
Our pets were well cared for and spoilt - they went above and beyond and bought our dog a new chew toy when they saw she needed something harder to chew. Brenton and Angela kept in regular contact sending updates and photos.
Our house was left spotless. Next time we need pet sitters we will certainly be booking Brenton and Angela again.
Thankyou!"

"I recently had the pleasure of having Jorden look after my three dogs, Theo, Luna, and Mojito. Jorden did an outstanding job, demonstrating exceptional care and conscientiousness throughout their time with them.
From the outset, Jorden was very considerate, coming for a pre visit to meet the dogs and when they stayed double checking if any food in the kitchen was off limits. This thoughtful approach was much appreciated. They also went above and beyond by cleaning up the dog poo in the backyard, which was a pleasant surprise.
Jorden's dedication and attention to detail made me feel confident and comfortable leaving my pets in their care. I would happily use their services again and highly recommend them to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Thank you, Jorden, for taking such great care of Theo, Luna, and Mojito!"

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."

"I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter than Natalie. Our little Yorkshire Terrier needed an unexpected eye surgery just a week before our scheduled trip. Natalie took excellent care of her healing eye and provided us with regular updates and photos, which were incredibly reassuring. She also helped organize a delivery we received while we were away. The house was left in perfect condition, and it was clear that Journey was well cared for and happy. I highly recommend Natalie and Daniel to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and professional pet sitter. We will be booking them again for our next trip!"

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 :)"

"It was a total pleasure having Heidi house and pet sit for us. She is very reliable, honest, a great communicator and our dog Max loves her! Heidi stayed in our house and minded our dog for 4 x weeks. We never worried for a moment that our house and dog were not being well cared for. She messaged pictures regularly, always responded promptly to messages and was an absolute pro. I highly recommend Heidi, she is very lovely and did everything as promised. Thanks Heidi, we hope you can work for us again!"

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.
