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 McKellar 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 McKellar 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 McKellar 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.

Hi, I'm Grace! 
About Me
I've grown up surrounded by animals and currently have four cats of my own. My oldest cat is 12 years old and my youngest is just 10 months old, which has given me experience caring for pets at very different stages of life. From energetic kittens who need lots of playtime and attention to senior cats who require patience, routine, and gentle care, I've learned how important it is to adapt to each pet's individual needs.
Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I genuinely love caring for them. As a pet owner myself, I understand that pets are family, and I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate to care for them while you're away.

Experience 
While I have extensive experience with cats, I also enjoy caring for dogs. I have regularly walked and looked after my aunt's and friends' dogs, helping with exercise, feeding, playtime, companionship, and maintaining their routines. Through this experience, I've learned that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy in my care.
I understand that every pet is different, whether they're energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or simply enjoy having someone nearby for company. I am patient and caring and always allow pets to build trust at their own pace. My goal is to make them feel as comfortable and loved as possible while their owners are away.

What I promise to you and your fur babies 
I am happy to provide feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, litter tray cleaning, dog walking, and plenty of affection. I can follow specific routines and instructions to ensure your pet's normal schedule is maintained. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a walk, some exercise, or extra company and attention, I am happy to tailor my care to suit their needs.
I also understand how reassuring updates can be while you're away, so I'm happy to provide regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
I will always treat your pets as if they were my own, with the same love, patience, and attention I give my four cats every day. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and provide them with a safe, caring, and enjoyable experience.

I have a genuine passion for caring for animals and providing calm, reliable, and attentive pet care. I aim to keep pets feeling safe and comfortable by maintaining their usual routines as closely as possible, especially when they are anxious or in a new situation. With nervous pets, I take a gentle, patient approach, allowing them to approach me in their own time and using calm body language to build trust without pressure.

I have experience caring for both dogs and farm animals, including pet sitting two dogs (one young and one older) for a week. During this time, I followed specific feeding routines, provided companionship, and ensured they were comfortable and settled throughout the day. I am also experienced with feeding multiple animals and adjusting to different dietary routines and instructions. The older dog required multiple medications throughout the day, which I delivered routinely. 

For home visits, I typically spend time ensuring pets are fed, have fresh water, are comfortable, and receive attention before leaving. I am happy to provide updates to owners after each visit, including messages and photos, so they feel reassured while away. I am dependable, observant, and always communicate clearly if anything changes or needs attention.

Hi! I'm Tahneia
I am 27, I have two cats of my own. &amp; I currently live with a dog &amp; cat. I work with animals at a vet clinic where I am a receptionist. I have hands on experience with many species, from dogs &amp; cats, to birds &amp; reptiles. As well as husbandry for exotic animals through work experience.
I also have volunteered at the RSPCA since 2019-2022, where I mostly work with dogs &amp; cats, but I also have some experience with rabbits &amp; some types of birds.
Services:
- Dog walking
- Home visits. I am also happy to water plants or gardens if needed.
- House sitting: if you’re going away for a longer period of time, I am more than happy to offer house/pet sitting. This will also include dog walking if you own a dog. Otherwise includes spending time with your pet &amp; ensuring they are looked after for the duration of the stay. Also happy to water any plants if needed or any other tasks that you may find necessary.
I would love to be able to spend time with your pets &amp; take care of them as if they were my own. I understand how hard it can be finding someone to look after your pets when going away, &amp; pet boarding facilities fill up fast. So please feel free to shoot me a message before booking. I look forward to hearing from you &amp; getting to know you &amp; your pets! :)

Hi I'm Kayleigh, an experienced vet nurse originally from the UK. I have a degree in veterinary nursing and companion animal behaviour, teaching puppy school back in Scotland. I cannot be with my own fur babies so would love to share my time with your pets, giving them comfort and care when you are away. 
I am available for check ins, meal times, medications, walks and overnight care. 
I have experience with all shapes and sized animals, while working professionally and pet sitting for friends and family. I will be working part time in a clinic in Canberra so will have a lot of free time to look after all your pets needs! 
I currently live with two gorgeous cats Pumpkin (Calico) and Indie (Tabby) who love to get up to mischief. 
I cannot take pets to my accommodation. 
Please let me know your pets favourite toys, treats, scratches and their preferred routine to help minimise any confusion for them
Unfortunately I cannot look after rabbits due to allergies. 
Looking forward to hearing from you. 
Kayleigh

Our pets are often our greatest sources of smiles and affection, and in my home I've got 16 of them (3 Dogs, 6 Cats, 7 Bunnies). I'm experienced within complicated dynamics of heirarchy and pet "separation", as I have this at home and know extremely important these things are. Additionally experienced with catering for dietary/allergy/medically sensitive feeding and environmental requirements, and cuddles galore is always on offer for those big and small lovelies who want some company! I love going the extra mile to leave your wonderful fluffy bundles with extra smiles!
I've cared for animals all my life, and have experience with various different species and breeds but am also a tremendously quick learner, and I will never mind going out of my way to make sure the quality of care is elite, above all else, and I will very happily keep you updated with photos of your lovelies as well as any other requirements that might make you feel more at ease, and able to enjoy your time away from home, knowing they're in the best, careful and most loving hands they could be in until you return home to your beautiful family of furry friends!


Hi I'm Alexandra! I'm originally from Melbourne and am currently studying law and commerce at ANU. I have spent my entire life surrounding by animals, especially dogs, chickens and horses. I have experience looking after dogs, chickens, cats and horses of family and friends when they have been away. However, most of my experience comes from my responsibilities at home. I have grown up on acreage and care for 5 horses and a dog at home. I absolutely adore my pets and love to spoil them with treats and cuddles. I would bring the same level of care to looking after your pets as I do to my own animals - I know what it's like to be the owner stressing about your pet while you're away! 
I would love to join your dog in discovering new areas and walking routes around your home to keep them interested and happy on their dog walks. I know every dog has different energy levels and so I am always happy to discuss how long your dog wants to walk for whether this is 30 minutes or an hour. 
When pet sitting I would give them the same love and attention as I would my own pets. I'm not the kind a person who simply feeds the dogs and then ignores them. I love giving them pats and cuddles as much as they love receiving them! I have handled shy dogs and boisterous ones and I know that they often need different levels of care and attention depending on their personalities. I would love to get to know them before my first session in order to give them the best care possible. Plus I'm always happy to send pictures and updates to keep your mind as ease while you are away!

I love the outdoors, running, hiking, reading and being around or in water! but I love animals a lot more! Since childhood all I've ever known is being surrounded by animals! From day old puppies too senior dogs Ive always enjoyed having pets around and being in the company of animals. I always had 4 or more dogs running around so when I left home it was very odd! I moved to wales In 2021 and became a pet sitter along side my full time job as an Outdoor Instructor. This way I could still be around animals and help people out at the same time too! 
Back in the UK, I house &amp; pet sat many different times for many different people! I built a good repor with the owners and of course the pets too! I had some people who were returning owners which meant their animals had a familiar face they knew when their owners weren't around. I loved doing this for people, so wanted to see if I could do it over here too! No floof too big or too small! I'd be Adhering to all the owners wishes - on a leash/off a leash, long walks for the more energetic dog and shorter walks for the more senior of floofs, medication and feeding times etc.
