Top cities for house sitting in Australia

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 Melbourne VIC 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 Melbourne VIC.

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 Melbourne VIC 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.

My name is Paulo Dimas, I am a former pet owner of both Dog and Cat overseas, unfortunatelly both past away before I come to Australia. I am currently living in Melbourne for the past 3 years working as a Barista.
My experience is mainly helping close friends upon request but I would love to have the opportunity to look after your loved one when you need it the most.&nbsp;
I will take one booking at a time because I don't want to get a lot of pets to care, I want to dedicate to a few pets and create a meaningful connection with them to make a difference in the people's quality of life by looking after the ones they care the most.&nbsp;&nbsp;
I am available very early in the morning or late afternoon, all evenings free, weekends free as well. I can take care within home or outside, either cats or dogs. I mainly like Royal Park and Princes Park because of its size and location. I may easily adapt the walk to wherever is more convenient to the pet and its owner. From half an hour or more we can walk and play around, spend some time and energy or just chill and do what dogs do... 
I can also water plants, bring mail, top up food and water, report with picture and even sleep in if necessary, it can all be adapted to the owners and pets needs! I am flexible and easy to adjust and adapt to the circunstance. I know that sometimes you just need one time total attention or just a random walk, maybe a constant and repetitive service, I am all in! Sharing is caring and I look forward to share my free time to look after your loved one or two, maybe three! 


I’m a dedicated pet lover with over six years of experience caring for my own cat and helping friends with their pets, including two beautiful Ragdoll cats. I understand that every pet has unique needs and feel most comfortable when cared for according to their routine. My priority is ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
Living in Melbourne CBD, I offer convenience for pet owners nearby. I’m attentive, patient, and will ensure your furry friends are well-fed, entertained, and given the affection they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or simply providing company, I’m here to help.
I also prioritize safety, so I kindly request that all pets are vaccinated. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I’m happy to accommodate any special requests. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I’d love to meet your furry family.&nbsp;


Reliable Pet Care from a True Animal Lover 
Hello! My name is Isidora, and I’m a passionate pet sitter with a deep love for animals of all kinds. Growing up in a household filled with pets, I’ve always had a natural connection with them, which has only grown stronger over the years. My motivation to be a pet sitter comes from my desire to ensure that pets are happy, safe, and well-cared for, even when their owners can’t be there. 
I take the health and safety of all pets very seriously, which is why I only accept vaccinated pets into my home. This ensures a safe environment for everyone involved. I understand how important your pet is to you, and I am committed to providing the highest level of care while you’re away. 
I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon!️️
Thank you so much!!
