"Jenn took amazing care of my dog poppy while me and my partner travelled interstate. We got constant updates and photos which really alleviated any anxieties we had about leaving her. Jenn was incredibly respectful of our home and Poppy got a long great with her which was amazing as she struggles to warm up to people. 10/10 Would hire again "

"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! "

"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! "

"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!"

"Bethany has provided a great service looking after our two large dogs at home for the week. We left lots of notes to follow and all were managed with no fuss. Exercise and play was important and taken care of every day. Communication was always pro active and our dogs (and house) were extremely well looked after. We will definitely book again and recommend to others. Thanks."

"I had never used an in home pet sitter before prior to booking Rachel and she was sensational. I would highly recommend Rachel and use her as my in home sitter again.
She came for a meet and greet with my two cocker spaniels. Both dogs wuffed and carried on and settled quickly with Rachel in the home.
Rachel is extremely caring and thorough, checking all of the dog’s needs and food requirements. One of my dogs had surgery the week before we left.
Rachel kept me up to date via text and left some cheeky Polaroid photos for our arrival home :)
I did not worry at all knowing Rachel was caring for Rosie and Mimi. "

"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! :)"

"We recently had Prakruti. stay at our home for 6 nights to look after our fur baby and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She went above and beyond to comfort him, keeping him happy and well looked after while we were away. We received regular updates on his meals, walks, and playtime, she shared so many pictures and videos of him doing different activities through the day, which gave us such peace of mind during our vacation.
Not only did she take amazing care of our dog, but she also kept our house clean, watered the plants, and followed every instruction to the letter. It was such a relief knowing everything at home was in safe hands.
We’re so grateful for her dedication and kindness and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!"

"Tannia was absolutely fantastic with my two anxious Westies. Her communication was great - sending lots of videos and photos to keep me up to date. I was amazed how happy, calm and relaxed the boys were as it was their first time with a dog sitter. I couldn’t be happier to book her again and recommend to anyone! Thank you Tannia!

"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

"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. "

"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.

"Valeria looked after our three dogs and did a wonderful job. From start to finish it was all just 'easy'. Dogs took to her instantly, even our shy dog. When we got home, both the dogs and the house had been well looked after. No issues at all and the dogs acted as if we'd never been away, speaking to the level of care and attention they got. House was also left lovely and clean. Thank you Valeria... we look forward to our next break and will certanly be using you again."
