"James and Kirstie are superstar sitters! They stayed in our home for just over 2 weeks and took care of our two Great Danes while we were away. Our dogs just loved their care and attention and we returned to happy, very settled fur babies. They were also amazing at liaising with other services we had arranged while we were away, and took wonderful care of our home and garden. Our home was spotless when we returned- bliss! Nothing was too much trouble- James and Kirstie communicated promptly if there was an issue, kept us up to date with regular pictures and little stories about how everyone was doing. They are definitely on our favourite Pet Sitter list- you won't regret engaging them. Thankyou so much James and Kirstie. Janine, James, Storm and Zelda."

"We have 3 cats, and they all have extremely different needs and totally different personalities. We had previously had the same pet sitter for over 10 years and this was our first experience of using Pawshake.
We couldn't be happier with Mira. She came to our home prior to the stay to go over the many requirements we had for each cat and just to meet us in general, as I was extremely apprehensive about a new pet sitter that our cats did not know.
One of my cats has extreme anxiety when new people come into our home and she was very accommodating to his needs. I was also worried about them being inside cats and the possibility of them getting out. Mira completely understood this was a major priority for us and was very conscious of ensuring they were kept safe.
Mira sent us photos and updates every day, and after a couple of days of being away my apprehension disappeared and I knew we had made the right choice. They were clearly relaxed and happy. My youngest cat in particular took a real shine to Mira and was besotted with her.
I cannot recommend Mira more highly, she absolutely deserves the 5 stars we have given her. She clearly has an affinity with cats. We will definitely have her come again.
Thanks Mira for being so patient, caring and accommodating to 3 very different cats, all with varying needs. "

"Lauren is a 15/10 dog sitter. Very caring, understanding the needs for our dog and compassionate. We got photos and video updates every day to ease our minds when we were away.
Very respectful of the house, left everything the way she found it.
We couldn't be happier to leave our dog in Lauren's hands and welcome her in our house anytime 💕"

"Above and beyond care of the needs of all pets and careful consideration for providing updates to me daily with lovely photos of each pet and house/ garden.
This was a more complex pet sit with a Cockatoo transitioning into family life.
I don’t think many pet sitters could provide the maturity and sensitivity to the unique requirements that Jean brought with her experience. Jean was extremely thoughtful in how she managed our Cockatoo whilst also caring for our beloved Kitty cat, chickens and Axolotyl.
If I could rate higher I would. Highly recommend and consider myself very lucky to have Jean look after our house and pets. Huge thank you!! "

"We had Leah pet sit our two staffies at our house for 11 nights while we were away.
first time we had used a pet sitter rather than kennels and I can say we won't be going back to kennels. It was so great to find Leah on Pawshake. Great communication, great with animals, and we could tell straight away by the way our dogs greeted her that she would be a great fit.
our dogs got to stay in their own environment and we came home to two happy, waggy-tails.
Thanks again Leah - we hope to use you again in the future!!"

"Meredith is a gem!
She stayed at our house for the weekend and looked after our cat and our dog with such care. Our pooch can be very lead reactive around other dogs, so I do get anxious when people unfamiliar to him take him for walks. However Meredith was more than happy to take him for his daily exercise, and they ended up having a very successful walk together. She sent me updates throughout her stay which we always love.
When we got home Meredith had even changed and washed the sheets on the bed.
Will absolutely be booking with Meredith again and couldn’t recommend her enough "

"I would highly recommend Bree-Anna to house sit and look after your animals.
She house sit for me for 3 weeks looking after 3 cats, the anxious cat took to her straight away, when we got back all cats were all very relaxed, and did not even seem to be upset that we left them.
Not only were the cats very happy but Bree-Anna also took very good care of the house. Communicated with us all the time, before she started house sitting and while she was house sitting gave us regular updates on how the cats are doing with photos.
Thank you Bree-Anna for taking such good care of the cats, i will definitely book you again. "

"Mel is a lovely person and me and my dog Smokey adored her from day dot. Mel looked after Smokey in his home for quite an extended period of time(2weeks) and when I returned home he seemed very well cared for and even seems to miss Mel a bit. Mel made the effort to meet up with us on a number of occasions before I went away so as Smokey could become familiar with her, she walked him, made sure he was fed and kept him company. I was nervous about getting a sitter but Mel was great and I would definitely recommend Mel to anyone needing a sitter. "

"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. "

"I am a rescue foster carer and have 5 rescue Tibetan Spaniels and 1 rescue kitty. Four of the dogs are very traumatised due to their lengthy past of living in cages and without any human interaction, except for in a negative way. Due to this and understanding the challenges of babysitting them, I have not left them before. So, I had much anxiety about leaving them and really not that comfortable with someone coming into my home...but I needed a house-sitter.
I found Mariya after another babysitter on another Pet-sitting site let me down at the Meet and Greet stage (better this than during the house-sit which has happened to me before and also to a friend).
Mariya was (is) amazing. She is a caring, thoughtful, considerate, intelligent, capable and solution-orientated person.
Four of the dogs were manageable with Mariya providing some additional approaches in their best interests, yet all time consuming for her. However, one dog was beyond a challenge. Mariya worked with me (me remotely) for an appropriate approach that supported the dog and and also worked for the others. This really reassured me - both her frankness and the way she eagerly wanted to work through a solution. She was amazing! Another house-sitter would have given up.
I am vegan and have allergies. So, she decided without discussion to bring her own crockery, cutlery, cookware, sheets, towels so as not to contaminate anything of mine. Wow! I've never experienced such care and compassion. It definitely wasn't my expectation for her to do this.
I came home to a clean house, as clean as I left it and I'm a clean freak. I also came home to very happy babies. It was wonderful and reassuring.
OK - only negative... my kitty and one of the dogs have issued me with their Vacate Notices. They've decided to shift in with Mariya!! She was that loved by them and by all (and this was evident in the photos, clips she updated me with regularly).
I am unsure if Pawshake allow this, but would be happy for anyone considering Mariya to contact me for more information.
I feel I have not only found an amazing house-sitter, but also found a new wonderful friend.
Thank you Mariya from all of us in The Unit of Love!

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 Ferntree Gully 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 Ferntree Gully 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 Ferntree Gully 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.
