"Lena and Tim took beautiful care of my two dogs over several weeks in my home. Communication was excellent and we were in touch throughout my time away. I had confidence in Lena and Tim and the care they provided for both a puppy and elderly dog. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and will certainly be use them next time."

"Sophie was so lovely and did a great job taking care of our chatty kitten, Crumpet. We really appreciated Sophie's willingness to be flexible (we booked her quite last minute), and that she left our house in a beautiful state. We would definitely book Sophie again. Thanks Sophie! "

"Cleophe was great. On the meet and greet she sat on the floor and played with the girls for a while rather than rushing off. The girls were happy and well looked after and the house was very neat and clean on my return. I intend to rebook her for my next trip away."

"Gemma looked after my senior cat, Bella, who can be shy with new people, but she warmed to Gemma quite quickly. Gemma sent me video updates showing how Bella was doing and 'allowing' Gemma to be affectionate to her. I appreciated seeing Bella while I wasn't with her. I was very happy with how Gemma looked after Bella and our home and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. "

"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!"

"A quick note to thank you Kathryn for looking after our two dogs so well over a long weekend (the dogs clearly had a great time) and also for taking such terrific care of the house and also for keeping us up to date re dogs, house, timing etc. For anyone reading this, Kathryn is clearly a most caring, experienced, professional dog sitter. Thanks again Kathryn for looking after our dogs, much appreciated. "

"Melissa was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter. I actually think my dog Ted prefers to live with her now rather than me! 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 :)"

"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 "

"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."

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 Downer 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 Downer 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 Downer 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.

Pet owners book house sitting in Downer ACT on Pawshake. Over 979 pet owners in Downer ACT have left a review, with an average of 4.94/5. All paid safely using Visa, Mastercard, American Express
