"Our family was delighted to meet Marcela to look after our large breed dog and 18yr old cat. Our dog was fond of her as soon as they met.
Marcela firstly arrived at our house for a meet and greet and met us again just before we were leaving for our trip. She organised a park play for our dog to understand his outdoor routine and came back to our house to go over both pets needs for when we were away.
Her communication was daily with photos and videos.
Anything I had missed to explain she covered immediately.
Our family felt an instant trust with Marcela and this was proven by her reliability and her amazing care she took of our pets and house. She gave more than we expected.
Marcela gave us peace of mind to travel far from home and we are so grateful for meeting her.
I highly recommend her services and can not praise her enough.
I will definitely be contacting her for future jobs."

"Wow what a find Jess has been. She is an awesome dog sitter. We would be happy to recommend Jess for all the reasons below and more that we don’t have time or forgotten to record.
Our dog is an old 16-year-old mini schnauzer who can have off days where he falls and cannot get himself up. We have always used family in the past with this is the second time we have used Pawshake, the first was a short weekend away a few weeks before this big trip.
We are very impressed with the ease of the Pawshake app and the responses from dog careers, the ones who have an interest are happy to come out for an interview where they meet our dog, check out the house and answer any questions you ask. The reviews online give you more confidence.
We were heading to Europe for four weeks and Jess was a available to meet a few months before our holiday and again a few days before our trip to reacquaint. She was always easy to contact, happy to cook chicken and rice for our fur baby who has health issues and needs twice daily pain pills. Jess was also happy to take our dog to the vet when required for general health maintenance / injections, even offered to do the injections herself.
During the trip we received regular updates with photos/videos and on the odd occasion when our dog had a health scare, Jess was in communication with the vet and us to work out the next steps.
When we returned Jess left us a fridge of fresh milk and fruit & vegetables and pre-made dog food. The house was very clean, our dog was happy and looking for Jess after our return.
We hope to use Jess again for future trips, just need to start saving for our next holiday.
Thank you, Jess! You are so much more than what we were expecting.

"Jason spent a couple of weeks house sitting our 3 cats and 1 dog. We're very happy/satisfied with the experience and outcome, our dog Matilda likes him a lot and our cats also got to trust him which is a good indication of care. Our house was in excellent condition after those two weeks. Totally recommend him."

"Kirsten is a dog lover and treated our fur baby with utmost attention and care. She followed all our requests regarding our dog's schedule, habits and understood her nature well so as to make sure her needs are fully met while we are away. She sent us regular photo updates and messages as well.
Kirsten is a great pet sitter, and it's a bonus that she's a great house sitter too. Our home was well kept, clean and very tidy as we had left it.
We would definitely recommend Kirsten to anyone seeking a trusting, mature dog handler and carer.

"Chantelle cared for our dogs in our home over Christmas for 3nights, she was very approachable and available to discuss our needs prior to the booking, took time to understand our dogs needs(one aged with mobility issues, one young with high energy!) our dogs warmed to her instantly . She was reliable, a great communicator and kept us updated with photos and messages and carried out other jobs like garden watering and in the house as requested. Our dogs were so relaxed when we arrived home I knew they’d been well cared for and hardly missed us. We Highly recommend Chantelle’s service . "

"Julia was an incredibly considerate and thoughtful pet sitter. I loved how she asked what my preferences were with updates and kept me in the loop with photo updates of my cat Gigi. Gigi was very relaxed and not at all stressed when I returned home, so I knew she had been in good hands. I felt very at ease trusting Julia with her. 10/10 could not be more happy!"

"Absolutely nothing to fault. First time we’ve had a dog sitter so we were a bit apprehensive. Daniel is very obviously a good, genuine guy when you meet him though and we felt reassured immediately.
He was great with our dog, kept us updated with regular photos without us even needing to ask, was great at communicating in general, and was a very polite and considerate house guest to boot. Absolutely nothing to fault and would book again without any hesitation."

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 Elwood 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 Elwood 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 Elwood 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.
