"We booked Alicia just two days before our trip when our original pet sitter cancelled. We have a very ill, complicated senior cat, and Alicia was absolutely wonderful with her and our dog, Buddy. She confidently handled all of our cat’s medication needs and even took her to the vet twice a week. Her communication was amazing, and we were able to relax on our trip thanks to her. We came home to a stable, well-cared-for cat and a happy dog. We’re so grateful for the care Alicia provided!"

"Gabby was easy to communicate with and very friendly from start to finish. We were very comfortable leaving her in charge of our house and 6yo Greyhound for 17 nights when we went on holidays. Gabby sent regular messages and photos which showed that our dog was in good hands and comfortable with his dog sitter. When we arrived home both house and dog were in perfect condition. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gabby's services to my friends and family. "

"Valentina and Esteban are highly reliable and trustworthy. They are clearly passionate about dogs and looked after our mini schnauzers, Chester and Monty, with much love, care and fun. They also maintained our house while we were away and kept it very tidy, clean and spotless. I have no hesitation in recommending Valentina and Esteban and will be very happy to use their services again. Thanks"

"Vy was an absolute lifesaver—she accepted our booking with less than 12 hours’ notice after our original sitter, Madeleine, let us down. Madeleine overfed the pets, kept the dog locked in, arrived late, and abandoned them the second night after I asked her to let the dog out (locked for over 20 hours). Motion sensors and cameras (she was informed in writing) confirmed she lied about doing it, then canceled and left our pets alone for 24 hours! It was the most distressing time! Stuck in Fiji with limited internet connection and no family support in Melbourne, I honestly hope no one has to go through this!!
Pawshake immediately cancelled Madeleine Oruba.
Thankfully, I found Vy through old messages, and she stepped in instantly! She cared for our senior pets, gave them medication, kept us updated with photos, and flagged issues like peeing on rugs, vomiting and food shortages. The previous sitter had used 8+ tins of cat food in just two days!
Vy is reliable, honest, and an excellent communicator. We’re incredibly grateful she was there when we needed her most. Thank you Vy! "

"Another brilliant house and dog-sitting experience courtesy of Jodie! Our week overseas was made so much less stressful knowing that our beloved dog Maggie would be cared for by Jodie. Yet again, we returned to a very happy pup and a spotless home. 5 stars! "

"We booked Alvina very last minute as our original cat sitter had to cancel, so we were very hesitant going forward, but Alvina exceeded our expectations!
She understood the needs of the cats, both of whom were senior and was very proactive with asking any questions.
She kept us updated every single day, twice a day, with long, informative messages, and plenty of photos. Couldn’t be happier and we would without hesitation use her again, or recommend her to anyone! Alvina is the BEST!"

"We were so incredibly impressed with Bridget's care of our three shy cats! She has a gift with shy cats :) She didn't just look after them; she truly engaged with them through play, cuddles, and treats. This surprised me because my cats are so scared of strangers or even my friends!
The regular, accurate photo updates were fantastic and so appreciated. We could tell she provided exceptional care and genuine affection, which made our trip away so much easier. We wholeheartedly recommend Bridget! :)"

"This was my first time leaving my dog with a pet sitter and I couldn’t have chosen a better sitter. My dog usually takes time warming up around new men, but with Julien he felt safe from the very first meet and greet. Julien took great care of my dog while I was away. 10/10 recommend!"

"Christina took such amazing care of our 2 cats, and sent great updates to put my mind at ease as well.
One of our cats needs a tablet 2xday and there were no issues at all, I was worried he would hide - I do think Christina is a cat whisperer!
Highly recommend her services and if you're a worrying cat parent like I am, Christina is the perfect sitter for you

"Kate did a fantastic job house- and cat sitting for us while we were away. We came home to a relaxed, happy cat AND a very clean house, which is always much appreciated when returning from a holiday. Kate was easy to communicate with & sent regular updates and pictures of Mischa. We definitely recommend her for looking after your furry friends and will be booking her again for our next trip. Thank you Kate!"

"As always, Mel was fantastic looking after our girls for our 10 day trip away. We looked forward each day to seeing photos and hearing what they were all up to. The girls are so well looked after with Mel here, we knew our senior dog was getting her medication and Mel did everything to help her eat as she was having trouble, which is now all better thanks to Mel. I had very little anxiety being away knowing our house and girls were safe with Mel.
Thank you Mel, can’t wait for our next holiday, the girls love you and we appreciate you very much. "

"Maddy is a warm and caring person and an extremely experienced pet sitter. Both my pets loved their time with her and her husband. We loved receiving photos of their adventures and cuddles. Maddy knows what initial questions to ask to make sure your pet's little fur lives aren't disrupted while you're away, and that was really reassuring for me personally. She handled my anxious shelter cat very well, including when he peed on some bedding. I would book her for any future trips and recommend her for anyone nervous about finding an experienced pet sitter. "

"We loved having Daniela looking after our house and the fur babies. Both cats were super relaxed after us being away for two weeks and clearly enjoyed hanging out with Daniela. the house was also in great condition and communication throughout our time away was easy and responsive. Would have her back to look after the fur babies again in a heart beat. "

"Tania goes above and beyond when she cat sit for Percy. She made in instant connection with him and he was cuddled up in bed with her on the first night. From the start she was highly communicative, patient, very flexible, kind, understanding and knows exactly how to work with cats. The regular updates and photos really gave peace of mind too and were hilarious.
What was only supposed to be a few nights sitting turned into a week, but Tania was so obliging, and was willing to keep sitting him, even happy to take him home with her to help me out and so he wouldn't be lonely. A week later I hired her again, and she once again did an amazing job. Tania guarantees you and your furry friend are both in very good hands and your furry friend will have made a new bestie and will be accompanied basically the entire time. Can't recommend her enough.
