"Kirstine did a fantastic job housesitting for us 8 nights and looking after our small pets – 1 x 17yo dog, 1 x 17yo cat, 1 x 13yo dog and an energetic 6 yo dog. I was nervous about leaving the seniors as they have health issues and require medication but I needn’t have been concerned as Kirstine was comfortable taking care of senior animals and administering medication. Kirstine came to our home a few times before we left so she could get to know everyone which was important as our 17 yo dog is blind. She updated me regularly with messages and photos, checked if I was happy with the frequency of updates and contacted me to let me know all was OK when there had been a storm as one of the dogs is terrified of storms. When we returned our carpet had been vacuumed, floors mopped, bed linen washed and bed remade, grass watered and poo-free. There was fresh milk in the fridge and chicken necks for the dogs for the following morning so I didn’t need to rush out and shop which was much appreciated. Our flight was delayed but she waited for us to get home and fed everyone so all we had to do was relax. Kirstine is a very caring person and I would highly recommend her as a housesitter. I will be happy for her to look after our pets again when we are away in the future. "

"Helen came and stayed with our 4 animals (2 dogs, 2 cats) for 11 days in Oct 24. She was so lovely and caring towards them during her stay. She provided regular and detailed updates and provided a very comfortable lap for our very inside animals. She was calm and patient with our puppy, who absolutely adored her. The house was very clean and tidy when we got home. Would not hesitate to have Helen stay here again! Thank you so much. "

"Casey did a fabulous job looking after our 2 large dogs for 4 days. One is quite anxious but Casey's calm and consistent manner on the initial meet and greet put him at ease. We came home to two happy dogs and a lovely tidy house. Casey was highly responsive to messages and sent regular updates and photos of the dogs. We would definitely recommend Casey, and hope she will be available next time we need a dog sitter. "

"Sarah went above and beyond to care for my very sick cat who almost died when I was overseas. She looked after both my pets with a lot of love and care and I have no words to thank her.
She regularly communicated and sent photo updates of both my boys. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitting angel. I know my fur babies will always be safe, loved and cared for under her watch. "

"Alex was amazing with our cat and dog while we were away. She is kind, personable and responsible and we didn't have to worry about the house or pets while we were away. She gave us daily updates on what the pets were up to and was very responsive if we had any extra questions.
Our house was very clean when we came home, and I think the pets (especially our dog) were sad we were back and their new friend had gone home!
I would highly recommend Alex as a pet and house sitter, and we will definitely be booking her for any future trips."

"Brenton and Angela cared for our dog and cat over the xmas and NY break. From our first meeting we knew we had chosen the perfect sitters. Brenton and Angela are warm, friendly, attentive and always had our pets best interest in mind.
Our pets were well cared for and spoilt - they went above and beyond and bought our dog a new chew toy when they saw she needed something harder to chew. Brenton and Angela kept in regular contact sending updates and photos.
Our house was left spotless. Next time we need pet sitters we will certainly be booking Brenton and Angela again.
Thankyou!"

We have a menagerie of pets that she cared for including chickens, cats and a dog. She managed very well with some minor unexpected issues with the pets. We found her to be very calm and capable. We were able to relax on our holiday knowing she was taking good care of our pets."

"I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter than Natalie. Our little Yorkshire Terrier needed an unexpected eye surgery just a week before our scheduled trip. Natalie took excellent care of her healing eye and provided us with regular updates and photos, which were incredibly reassuring. She also helped organize a delivery we received while we were away. The house was left in perfect condition, and it was clear that Journey was well cared for and happy. I highly recommend Natalie and Daniel to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and professional pet sitter. We will be booking them again for our next trip!"

"It was a total pleasure having Heidi house and pet sit for us. She is very reliable, honest, a great communicator and our dog Max loves her! Heidi stayed in our house and minded our dog for 4 x weeks. We never worried for a moment that our house and dog were not being well cared for. She messaged pictures regularly, always responded promptly to messages and was an absolute pro. I highly recommend Heidi, she is very lovely and did everything as promised. Thanks Heidi, we hope you can work for us again!"

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 Forrest 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 Forrest 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 Forrest 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.
