"Ghawady took amazing care of my cat Lola! The experience of meeting and booking was seamless and stress free and I went away confident that everything would be taken care of! Lola doesn’t generally like new people but she very quickly became comfortable with Ghawady, which is a credit to her way with cats and respect for animals! She took such great care of Lola and gave me daily updates and pictures. Ghawady also took great care of the house and was super tidy! The cherry on top was the amazing professional photos she took of Lola which were so beautiful! Thank you Ghawady and I hope you can take care of Lola again next time I travel 🙏"

"Bernardo is a fantastic pet and house sitter. He communicated well, left the house spotless and, most importantly, took excellent care of the dogs. They were happy and healthy when we arrived home.
I would absolutely use Bernardo again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly and caring pet sitter."

"Linda was a fantastic dog sitter to our 2 dogs while we were away overseas for 2 weeks. She stayed in our house and cared for both our home and dogs incredibly. I felt very reassured with her communication and care as it was the first time we had done this. I can’t recommend her highly enough and will be booking her again the next time we go away. If l could give her more stars l would! "

"Overall, I was very pleased with Ailene’s pet-sitting service. Our cat was exceptionally well cared for, and it was evident that she received lots of love and attention while we were away. Ailene was highly responsive from the beginning and provided regular updates throughout our trip, which was incredibly reassuring! "

"Hoda is a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of our furry pets. From the start off, when we first met her we got an excellent first impression, that leaving our pets with her will have no concerns at all. She is very friendly and kind and was great with our pets and was always sending photos every evening to us. When we came home after a week away, our pets were relaxed and happy. Thank you Hoda for looking after our pets and we would definitely be in contact next time if we are going away again."

"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 was absolutely fantastic with my two anxious Westies. Her communication was great - sending lots of videos and photos to keep me up to date. I was amazed how happy, calm and relaxed the boys were as it was their first time with a dog sitter. I couldn’t be happier to book her again and recommend to anyone! Thank you Tannia!

"This was our first time leaving our doggos and bird with a sitter and we are so glad we found Johana and Fer! I was really anxious but we received lovely updates in messages, photos and a great video for reassurance. They really listened to our focus areas and attention to detail about their food, play and sleeping and were very accommodating. You can tell they really cared as our dogs were so settled when we got home. The house was in perfect condition with sheets washed and house vacuumed (which with a shedding Shar-Pei is a whole job!). Just couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thanks so much 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️"

/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.
