"Highly recommended sitter! Naiya housesat for us and cared for our senior dog over a long weekend. She is friendly, reliable, punctual and clearly loves animals. She is studying animal care and I can see any animal would be lucky to have her look after them. Our dog adored her from their first meeting. Naiya’s communication was excellent. She kept me updated with photos along the way, and left our place spotless and our dog happy and relaxed. I will absolutely book with Naiya again and 100% recommend anyone else to as well. Thank you Naiya!"

"We had Gizem stay at our place for 2 nights to look after our 3 cats, one of which has medication each night. Gizem took such good care of them! She sent me photos throughout the day and gave me updates on how they were going. It was our first time leaving them overnight with someone new and I was very anxious but Gizem eased my anxiety and looked after them like her own. Will definitely book Gizem again!"

"I cannot recommend Antonia highly enough! She’s amazing. Mature, thoughtful, and dedicated, she is the perfect person to take care of your pets and home. Our 9year old lab x was so well taken care of, and the plants were in better shape than when we left!!! She handled some difficult roadworks outside our house with grace, left us a clean home, with a happy dog and even home made lentil soup on our return!
Will definitely be hoping Antonia is available for any further travel. I almost considered not leaving such a glowing review to make sure she isn’t booked out!!!! 🤣
Book her in, while you can. Your pets will thank you! "

"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!"

"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"

"We left our six month old kitten with Grace for a week while we were away, and having Grace at our home made things a lot less stressful for leaving our little one for the first time since we got her. Grace was great at communicating and clearly cared for our cat who is very shy, and we appreciated the regular photo updates as well. We would not hesitate to rebook with Grace!"

"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! "

"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. "

Murray our groodle was well looked after, our goldfish were happy and Sasandi sent us regular updates on how everything was going. The house was clean and tidy on our return as well. We would certainly ask Sasandi to watch our house and pets again and can recommend her for anyone looking for a house sitter. Thanks Sasandi! "

"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
