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 Doreen 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 Doreen 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 Doreen 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, we’re James and Josie 

We’ve just returned home to the UK after travelling and are excited to continue our journey as dedicated pet sitters. We’re caring, compassionate, trustworthy, and experienced; we’ll treat your pets with the same love, respect, and affection as if they were our own (they’re royalty, after all ).

We both hold full UK driving licences and have a spacious car should transport ever be required. We’re confident in administering all types of medication and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for animals with different needs.

I (James) have loved animals from a young age, I even managed to persuade my parents to let me get a dog, and that’s where it all began! Since then, I’ve worked with several dog walking and pet sitting companies in England, as well as running my own small business alongside my full-time job. Now that I have more time to dedicate, I couldn’t be happier to be back doing what I love most: caring for animals.

I (Josie) grew up surrounded by pets: cats, horses, guinea pigs, and fish; and I’ve always been passionate about looking after them. I also volunteered at a horse yard that offered therapeutic riding for disabled children, which was such a rewarding experience. But at the heart of it all, I just love animals (especially cats ).

If you’d like to know more about us or our services, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’d love to meet you and your furry (or not-so-furry) family members soon!

My partner Andy and I (Amy) have been dog sitting and dog walking for years using Pawshake in Europe with high ratings and repeat fur babies to look after. We have looked after lots of different breeds large,small, lots of rescues, special needs dogs (blind, sick, arthritis, trust issues, anxiety etc.) 
I am currently studying my certificate II in Animal Care and am looking to do my Veterinary Nurse certificate IV once completed. I have had to make a new account now that I'm in Australia but have added screenshots of some reviews to my photo gallery.
House sitting wise we are completely comfortable with having pets snuggle up on the couch and bed (if they are allowed) and are used to get kicked out of our own bed my our 2 fur babies. We are a big believer in patience and building up trust with dogs and want to see them show their unique personalities and smiles, &nbsp;
I've also helped relocate a cat Hillary  and dog Tiny  from The Netherlands to Germany for one of my clients in Europe and helped them settle into their new home for a few days while their parent got their new life organised. If you have any special requests feel free to reach out!
Apart from our experience dog sitting over the years my partner and I have had dogs while growing up, Andy actually grew up on a farm and has plenty or experience with all different animals. We now have 2 beautiful rescue dogs of our own, Muffin and Butters who we rescued from Romania and Portugal and safely relocated with us back here in Australia. If we your dog is social and you want them to have friends on their walk I'm more than happy to get them involved with my dogs or others after a proper introduction.

Feel free to reach out, we'd love to add your dog to our ever growing dog walking/sitting family &nbsp;



Hi, I’m Jenny — RSPCA accredited and currently studying Certificate II in Animal Care. I’m an experienced pet sitter, with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. I truly love the affection and companionship animals bring into our lives.

For your peace of mind, please feel free to read through my reviews from previous pet parents.

We live in a neat, escape-proof townhouse with plenty of space to move around. Your fur child will sleep indoors and have access to a fully fenced courtyard with grass for outdoor time. We’re best suited to well house-trained dogs.

Daily walks are a big part of our routine, with beautiful walking trails located just metres from our home. We especially enjoy caring for dogs who are gentle, affectionate, and on the quieter side.

I love taking photos, so you can expect at least 5–10 photo updates per day, ensuring you don’t miss out on any of the fun your pup is having while you’re away.

I closely monitor eating, drinking, and toileting to make sure your dog is settling comfortably into their new environment. I’m also confident administering oral and topical medications, bathing, and adjusting care for puppies, senior dogs, and those with special needs.

I look forward to learning more about your fur baby and making their transition from your home to ours as smooth, calm, and happy as possible 






To be honest, I used to be the kind of person who would jump on a sofa or run away whenever I saw a dog! That all changed when I met Glady, the first dog I shared a home with in a rented house. At first, I was scared, but without even realising it, I grew so close to Glady. He became my little companion, and when I had to move to another part of Melbourne, I missed him deeply. That’s when Arlo came into my life.I had originally planned to get a small toy poodle, but instead, I ended up with a gigantic cutie pie! Now I can’t imagine life without him. He taught me things only a pet parent can truly understand — patience, empathy, and the purest form of love.We include Arlo in almost everything we do, from weekend getaways to daily park visits. I’m experienced with handling large breeds, administering medication, basic grooming (like brushing, cleaning paws, and managing shedding), and following specific feeding routines. I also have experience with socialising dogs around others and ensuring they feel comfortable and safe in new environments.As a pet sitter, my goal is to care for every dog with the same affection and attention I give Arlo&nbsp; especially those who might be shy, anxious, or overlooked because of their size. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I’ll make sure your furry friend feels loved, safe, and at home while you’re away.Please reach out for dog sitting,hosting ir walking
