"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."

"My two dogs are gorgeous but not easy as they are highly anxious and one is not well trained but they are loving. They adored Charlotte and I got lots of photos of them cuddling on the couch with her. Charlotte is a big lover and my two were vet happy she came to stay for a week. As was I. "

"Cass did a great job of looking after our two cats. She sent us regular updates and photos of them, which was nice. The cats seemed relaxed and happy when we got home.
Our cats have specialist diets and we were confident she had followed our instructions well. When we got back, we found the house in great shape."

"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. "

"As a professional dog walker and minder myself I'm very cautious about who I allow to look after my own dog Willow.
I'm very happy with the care Farida and Artur provided.
Good communication and they left the house clean and tidy upon my return.
I will happily recommend and book them again myself in the future. "

"Adam took great care of our dog Dot and home for 2 1/2 weeks. We could go away assured that everything would be cared for. Adam is a very reponsible young man, who has great skills with animals. Hopefully he doesn't get too popular as we want to keep him all for ourselves. "

"Celeste is the best! Our dog, Penny, always has the best time with Celeste, as is evident by the photos Celeste shares where Penny is invariably either a) snuggled up next to Celeste all cosy and sleepy, or b) smiling so happily out on a walk or in the garden. My wife and I never have to stress when Celeste is dog sitting."

"Bethany was a perfect match for my springer spaniel Dougal.
We found her to be courteous, warm and friendly. She was punctual to our Meet and Greet and on the day when she came to our home to be with Dougal. She showed skill in building rapport with him and left our home in impeccable shape. I would strongly recommend Bethany to anyone with a precious pet in the lives and we look forward to having her look after Dougal again "

/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.
