"Ghawady went above and beyond to provide the best care for our two cats. She is far and away the most professional, conscientious, and communicative house sitter we have ever had. She sent beautiful photos that really captured both kitties personalities and was extremely attentive to their needs. We will absolutely be using her services at every possible future opportunity and cannot recommend her highly enough. "

"Bettina was a fantastic dog sitter, and I highly recommend her services. She and her partner looked after my 4 year old dog and apartment really well, and left the place in immaculate condition. They contacted us daily whilst we were away and gave photo and video updates of them at the park and relaxing at home. They are super friendly and caring, and I know my dog was in good hands."

"Fran looked after my 3 cats and fish whilst we were away. Fran was friendly, kept the house clean and tidy, and provided great handover notes for when we returned. The cats and fish were happy and well cared for when we arrived home. Would highly recommend Fran for your next sit, she is mature minded, lovely natured, trustworthy and will take great care of your crew. Our minds were put at ease so we could enjoy our holiday without the worry of the welfare of our animals. "

"Tannia supported us with a last minute request following another boarder letting us down. She came to see us and meet our two dogs and we could instantly tell she's a dog lover. She was a considerate house sitter and everything was clean and tidy following her stay. The dogs were super happy and we had loads of video and photo updates. We would not hesitate in booking Tannia again and in fact she's doing a longer house sit for us in a few weeks. "

"Linda was a fantastic house and dog sitter. She readily accommodated some last-minute changes to our travel plans and diligently walked our two kelpies twice a day. It is clear that she loves dogs and manages them well.
She was a great communicator and sent daily photos
She left the house spotless and even washed the sheets and popped them in the dryer before she left. I would thoroughly recommend her."

/nightFrequently asked questions about house sitting
Your house sitting questions answered
Why should I book house sitting?
Your pet will miss you when you are away, and arranging a house sitter can minimise any further stress on your furry friend. There is no need for car trips or cages, and your pet's routine can be maintained. Plus, the sitter can keep your home secure and tidy for when you return.
Can I get a house sitter anywhere in Melbourne?
Yes: there are house sitters all over the city and surrounds, ready to help you whenever you need. Don't take our word for it: just have a look on our site to see hundreds of profiles. Have a browse, read real past reviews and, when you are ready, send a message to a few sitters who look promising.
Will house sitting suit my pet?
House sitting is a great option for most pets. Animals crave a sense of security, and this service allows them to stay in their own familiar space. Your pet will have their own bed to sleep in and their feeding routine maintained.
What should I expect to pay?
The sitters on Pawshake choose their own prices for the services they offer. As a guide, you can expect to pay about $35 a night. Depending on where in Melbourne your sitter is located, their calendar and their past experience, you might see some variation in price.
