Top cities for house sitting in Australia

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 Macquarie 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 Macquarie 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 Macquarie 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.

Experience: I grew up with guinea pigs, hamsters, dogs, and cats. I also adopted several old higher needs arctic dogs for years, so I have experience with large dogs.&nbsp;Motivation: I am not currently able to have cats or dogs in my current home, and really miss having them around, so pet sitting is a great way to meet and get to know some lovely fur babies and look after them.Method: I let animals interact with me on their own terms, so if they're cuddly and affectionate they get as much affection as they want, if they just want to stare at me from across the room while I sing silly songs with their name in it, that's also fine. Also cats that tend to be timid often become comfortable with me very quickly, I let them decide how and when they want to interact with me.Currently I'm offering overnight pet sitting services for short and extended stays, which means I can offer your pets as much attention, play, and positive reinforcement as they need while you're away.&nbsp;Services: I will feed, water, administer medication and clean up after your pets. I can also water your plants, collect your mail, and take your pets for a walk. Also happy to reinforce training while you're away.&nbsp;

Hi my name's Charlotte! I'm your local fur, feather and scale lover. I've been a home carer for people with disabilities in the past and currently a phlebotomist that does home visits for those who can't leave their home; along my travels in these roles I've had to integrate into my clients families and lives and that includes their furry friends. I treat my clients animal companions with respect, kindness and compassion. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, love to exercise and affectionate with all animals of all shapes and sizes. I live for the fur. I've fostered a malamute for 2 years, I pet sit for my friends cats regularly and raised and grown up with the most important girl of my life- Ruby. Since the loss of my Ruby (sweet and lovely Cavalier in my photos, she was 12 years young), I've longed for the walks, the cuddles and everything in-between, which brings me here to Pawshake. Services I can offer you and your companion: 
-walking (length and type of walk depends on your pets health condition. I have a beautiful reserve behind me that is perfect for dog walking. I do not do off leash walks), bathing, cuddles, kitty litter change, feeding, medication requirements, poop scooping
-house sitting (can do overnight stays if you live Northside or Central Canberra)
~ I can come to you but you can't come to me unfortunately, due to the the limitations of my rental home in Melba ~
I have a car  My availability: Monday-Friday after 15:30. Weekends any time but may change depending if I am out of town once in a while.
Looking forward to meeting you and your family member    

Hey! I'm Elise and I am a huge fan of all animals, especially dogs!
I work in the public service and have decided to join Pawshake as a job on the side that will keep me active + brightens my day (which animals do!)I've grown up surrounded by dogs, so I have experience with various breeds - big and small. My parents have a British Bulldog who I take care of on a regular basis, he is extremely spoilt (massages, treats, walks, gourmet food, cuddles, tucking him in at night etc). He has breathing issues and requires extra care such as hes wrinkles being wiped, special creams, medication and his bum being cleaned etc. So I'm more than happy to cater to similar requirements for your pet. 
I'm offering dog walking, house visits and overnight stays. I can also to take your dog to the vet, groomer etc. I have my drivers license and a car. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like you would treat your children then I'm the person for you.&nbsp;

Hello! I am Pranami, a PhD scholar studying marine bacteria at ANU, Canberra. I have recently moved to Australia and I am experienced in taking care of kittens, puppies and older cats and dogs, of all sizes, big and small and also bunnies. I can give baths, trim nails, clean ears, if and when needed. I love teaching tricks to dogs, both indoor and outdoor and also love playing with them. I especially like playing seek with my dogs (I have 3, one German Shepherd and two Indian rescues), where they would be seeking me or any of their favorite toys. It's an easy indoor game to teach and dogs love it once they get the hang of it. As for cats, I know they love their "me-time" and I give them what they need. With my cats, they've always been cuddlers, so I usually would walk around or sit with them on my lap. One of my recent cats loved to show affection by play-biting. And that's pretty much all she would do when we hang out. I make some DIY string toys for them to play with and that keeps them occupied for most of the time. I can also give medicines to both dogs and cats.
I am experienced with pet sitting in different places around the world like California, Beijing, Bangalore, to name a few. I update my clients with photos/videos or calls if they prefer that, atleast twice a day. Pet sitting for me is more out of my ardent love of animals rather than just a job. Due to my flexible schedule, I am available any time of the day, all days a week to look after your furry friends while you are away. Spending quality time with animals for me is more like a therapy and I absolutely love doing that.
Looking forward to meeting and befriending your pets here in Australia!&nbsp;

Hi, I'm Aimee! I absolutely adore dogs, and have grown up with our family border collie Dot. After moving out of home for uni I desperately miss the companionship of animals, and would love the opportunity to walk/overnight sit dogs to fill this missing void. Happy to take your special four legged family member on long walks/runs and spoil them with love and pats when you're away or just super busy. Most of my experience comes from my own puppy, or from a few neighbourhood dogs I've briefly looked after and walked (including Boxers, Golden Retrievers and Aussie Shepherds). 
I own a car, so I am happy to commute to you. I will have to schedule walks around my busy uni and work schedule, but overall I am pretty flexible. Would love to meet up to get introduced to your dog and find out about their niche quirks and personality!

Hey!
My name is Sahana and I have lived in Canberra for 7 years. I am a student at University of Canberra and work part time. I am 30 years old and I love dogs and cats, and have a long history of living with multiple pets. I have my own car and license but I can't keep dogs at my current house so I'd love to take care of yours. Back home, we have eight dogs and two cats, mostly rescues. 
I will care for your pets with as much love and care as you will. As I live by myself, I can stay overnight with your pet without issues and have my own vehicle for emergencies. I have previous dog and house sitting experience for dogs and cats in Canberra, mostly for friends. 
I can offer house and pet sitting services for up to two small doggos or one huge doggo. I have a preference for doggos but I'll love your cat baby too! Your pets must be vaccinated and appropriate directions must be provided regarding food, any allergies, specific care etc.&nbsp;
Services-
I'll be able to stay over night with your dog. I have a full- time job so I'll be away between work hours at least two days of the week. Most days I can be a bit more flexible and be there during work hours. 
If provided the right instructions, I can administer basic medication to your dog and give the dog a wash. 
As a house sitter, I can also water your plants, pick up mail, put out trash etc.&nbsp;
