"Michelle is world class. This was my first time using a pet sitter and it was for 6 weeks so me and my partner were naturally super nervous, Michelle put our minds at ease so quickly!!
She was fabulous at looking after our cats and ensured she met all their individual needs.
The communication was great and she was always quick to reply.
In addition to being incredible at looking after the little cats, Michelle left our house super clean. She looked after our place with such care. This was a lovely treat after a long day of travelling home.
Honestly could not thank Michelle enough and will be 100% booking again for any future trips! "

"Fran made us feel very comfortable leaving our cat with a pet sitter for the first time! She was very thorough and helpful guiding us through the process during our initial meeting. Daily updates with photos were lovely while we were away and she left the house in great shape with sheets in the wash and bins taken out! Would definitely ask Fran to house and cat sit again!"

"
Anja was a reliable and friendly house sitter and took great care of our indoor cat and blue heeler. She followed medication and special dietary instructions for our dog and sent us a few photo and text updates as our kids were missing their pets. Anja left the house in a clean and tidy state and the animals were left clean and happy and their toileting areas were cleaned up. It was lovely to return home to. We highly recommend Anja for your house sitting or pet sitting needs."

"Mio was a fantastic cat and house sitter and I would definitely recommend her services. She interacted with our animals often and sent us regular updates which was really appreciated. She is very organised professional and reliable. When she left, the house was cleaner than when we left! Thank you, Mio x "

"Tiana was an amazing sitter and took great care of our two cats. From the get go you can tell that she really understands cats looking at the way she interacted with them but also asking all the right questions. Our two cats got along with her straight away whereas in the past they took more time to open up to their sitter. Tiana sent us regular pictures of our furry babies and also gave us some regular updates. Tiana also took great care of our house and left it even cleaner than when she moved in! A big thank to her again. We highly recommend her and hope to book her again in the future. "

"We honestly could not have asked for a better catsitter than Ghawady. From the moment we met her, you could tell she is a true animal person. She was so kind, calm and genuinely loving with our fur babies.
She took incredible care of them and went above and beyond with updates. We received so many photos and videos while we were away, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was so reassuring seeing how happy and relaxed our cats were in her care.
She also left our home spotless and treated it with so much respect, which we really appreciated.
The funniest part is that when we got home, our cats barely cared we were back. They genuinely seemed to miss their catsitter, which says everything.
We would happily have Ghawady back anytime and cannot recommend her highly enough. 💛🐾"

Frequently 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.
