"I highly recommend Rivka! Her genuine love for pets is amazing and she has gone above and beyond to establish rapport with my dog ahead of a month long stay, including several walks and an overnight stay. Rivka’s communication is professional and proactive. I especially appreciated regular updates and photos during the overnight stay. I will definitely be rebooking Rivka anytime I require pet sitter or walking for my dog. "

"Cleophe provided exceptional care for my pet while I was away. She is lovely to work with—reliable, communicative, responsive, and caring. I received updates with photos and notes, which gave me complete peace of mind throughout my trip. My pet was clearly well looked after, and I returned to a clean and tidy home. I highly recommend Cleophe and would happily book her again in the future."

"Lydah is a fabulous house and pet sitter. Lydah is a great communicator, very prompt, followed instructions really well and left our house spotless. Lydah did a wonderful job with our new doggie Daisie who was calm and happy when we returned. Lydah showed great initiative while we were away, and we had a wonderful worry free weekend! Thank you Lydah. Highly recommended!"

"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. "

"Matt and Grace were absolutely exceptional pet and house-sitters! They took wonderful care of our precious girl Journey, spoiled her thoroughly, and sent outstanding daily updates complete with the most adorable photos. We came home to a completely spotless house. They are hands-down the best sitters we’ve ever had. We highly recommend them and are already looking forward to them watching Journey again for two weeks in September! Thank you, Matt and Grace!"

"From our first contact, EG was responsive, dedicated to understanding our shy, older cat and her needs, and attentive to our needs as well. They were naturally patient and gentle, just as our cat needed, and we felt reassured that she would be comfortable as possible with EG as her sitter. Communication was good, and we came home to a healthy, cared-for cat and a neat and tidy house. We would happily have EG sit for us again, and recommend them as a pet sitter. "

"A quick note to thank you Kathryn for looking after our two dogs so well over a long weekend (the dogs clearly had a great time) and also for taking such terrific care of the house and also for keeping us up to date re dogs, house, timing etc. For anyone reading this, Kathryn is clearly a most caring, experienced, professional dog sitter. Thanks again Kathryn for looking after our dogs, much appreciated. "

"Tracey, What a fabulous person to be looking after our cats ! As soon as we met Tracey; her first priority was getting to know our 2 cats who as cats are, fairly picky ! The cats took to Tracey, she definitely a cat lover. There was clear & open communication; photos of the cats, this made our holiday more relaxed; as our pets are being well cared for ! Our home was lovely, clean and tidy when we got home. I highly recommend Tracey as a cat sitter "

"Heather was just wonderful with our high energy 16mth old foster dog Cookie! Heather is a great communicator and was diligent in checking in for house and pet instructions. We loved getting the pics of Cookie having a great time! Heather is a lovely calm, organised and conscientious carer, I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter! We hope Heather isn't booked out in November when we would love to have her take care of Cookie again! Thanks to Heather we had a great weekend away. "

"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 Melba 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 Melba 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 Melba 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.

Pet owners book house sitting in Melba ACT on Pawshake. Over 682 pet owners in Melba ACT have left a review, with an average of 4.96/5. All paid safely using Visa, Mastercard, American Express
