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 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.

Hi, I’m Abby, a devoted cat mum based in Canberra! Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and pet sitting allows me to stay connected to the companionship and joy that pets bring. Since moving away from my family home, I’ve really missed having multiple pets around, which is why I’m excited to offer reliable and loving care to others.
I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and have experience pet sitting for friends and family. I’m comfortable with a range of temperaments and routines, from energetic dogs who love long walks to more independent or shy cats who need gentle, patient care. My dog walks typically range from 30–60 minutes, tailored to your pet’s needs, and I always ensure they get both exercise and enrichment.
During home visits or house sitting, I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, playtime, litter or yard care, and plenty of affection. I also provide regular updates with messages and photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away. I take care to keep your home secure and tidy, treating it with the same respect as my own.
I pride myself on being dependable, attentive and genuinely caring, and I would love the opportunity to look after your pet as if they were my own. 


I love the outdoors, running, hiking, reading and being around or in water! but I love animals a lot more! Since childhood all I've ever known is being surrounded by animals! From day old puppies too senior dogs Ive always enjoyed having pets around and being in the company of animals. I always had 4 or more dogs running around so when I left home it was very odd! I moved to wales In 2021 and became a pet sitter along side my full time job as an Outdoor Instructor. This way I could still be around animals and help people out at the same time too! 
Back in the UK, I house &amp; pet sat many different times for many different people! I built a good repor with the owners and of course the pets too! I had some people who were returning owners which meant their animals had a familiar face they knew when their owners weren't around. I loved doing this for people, so wanted to see if I could do it over here too! No floof too big or too small! I'd be Adhering to all the owners wishes - on a leash/off a leash, long walks for the more energetic dog and shorter walks for the more senior of floofs, medication and feeding times etc.
