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 Mernda 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 Mernda 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 Mernda 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.

Hello! My name is Milla, and I’m excited to introduce myself as someone who is passionate about animals and is eager to offer pet-sitting services. While I haven’t had formal pet-sitting experience, I’ve had the pleasure of looking after friends’ and family members’ pets over the years. I’ve done home visits to feed and walk dogs, as well as provide some companionship when their owners are away. This has given me a solid understanding of the responsibilities involved, and I genuinely enjoy caring for pets.

I study part-time from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM, which means I’m available for pet-sitting etc in the mornings before 8:30 AM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays I’m also available in the evenings on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, I do overnight stays on weekends usually but message me privately and we can discuss from there. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m happy to arrange visits that work around your needs.&nbsp;

At home, I have a safe and secure environment I live in a cozy home with plenty of space to relax, and there are also local parks nearby where we can go for walks and play. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority, and I’ll ensure they get the care and attention they need while you're busy.

Looking forward to meeting you and your pet!

Hey, I'm originally from Germany and have been living in Australia now for two years as my Husbands family lives here. I'm currently in the last stages of my Master's degree of Architecture and luckily its 100% online so i'm able to be flexible and work from Home. So I will have time to give your Pet all the attention they need.&nbsp;
Throughout 2023 and 2025 I met a lot of dogs through dog sitting. With all of these dogs I took them for walks, cleaned up after them and did my best to give them a great experience. Some of these dogs I looked after for a month at a time while others were only a few days. I'm happy to say I've now cared for many different breeds of dogs (Pomeranian, Australian Cattle Dog, Kelpie, Staffy) and they all had different personalities and energy levels.
I have always loved dogs and my main experiences come from two dogs called Queenie and Ella. Our family dog, Queenie (Havanese), was my responsibility to take care of as my mother was working full-time. Queenie got really sick once when my mother was on a business trip and I was able to handle the situation very well.
My brother's dog "Ella" (Staffy) was from the pound and had a difficult past. She was a dog I spent a lot of time with. Ella was so different to Queenie as she was a lot stronger and more aggressive but after training, we grew a strong bond and now she listens to all of my commands. I am proud to say I am one of her favourite people. I also have general knowledge of caring for other animals like cats, rabbits and chickens. In the Last 2 year I've sitted up to 10 different Cats and we used to have Cats and rabbits in my childhood home.
The reason I want to be your next Dog sittier is that i have a lot of love to give and currently the flexibility to do this next to my studies. I also have to damit that I miss my family dog back in Germany terribly and always enjoy making new furry Friends that make me miss the other side of the world little less.


Hi my name is Rediet!I am twenty eight years old. I am a passionate animal lover! I am also very committed to leading a healthy lifestyle and connecting and understanding people in general. I have two very cute toy poodles at my parent’s home and I have had animals in the family all my life. We have had cats and dogs but I have had a lot of experience minding other animals through friends and family. I believe in treating dogs as part of the family and they would be the animals that I best connect with as you can take them out walking and they are a great comfort when needed most.Dogs love you regardless of what you look like or what mood you are in and never judge you. I would like to become a dog walker/carer to maintain their fitness and their wellbeing as well as making sure they have social connections with other dogs.Unfortunately, I can’t accommodate animals in my home, however, I am happy to house/puppy/pet sit for you in your own home and on holidays.I have puppy sat for friends and family.It has always been a great experience for both the dogs and me and they always seem happier and content in their own home with familiar surroundings.I am happy to pick up and drop off dogs in my neighbourhood.

Hi I'm Andy I'm 23 and I'm in Australia for a cricket season. I'm passionate about cricket, fitness and animals. I have a border terrier at home as well as 2 cats. 
I'd love any excuse to get outdoors and get some more steps in with a furry companion. Available for dog walks, runs and potentially dog sitting for anytime during the week Monday to Friday (I'll be playing cricket on the weekend!)
I've had plenty of experience looking after dogs of all shapes and sizes back home in the UK. 
Unfortunately as I'm renting I won't be able to look after dogs in my house but I'm available for all other services outside of hosting. I also train in the evenings of Tuesday and Thursday for cricket but I'm willing to miss out on that for the right hound! 
Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. 

Hi! I’m Emma — a lifelong animal lover and devoted pet sitter who truly understands that our furry friends are family. I offer reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs, whether that’s long walks full of sniffing adventures, relaxed cuddle time, or energetic backyard play sessions. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I’m just as comfortable caring for cats and other small pets too. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and routine are always my top priorities, and I pride myself on creating a calm, caring environment when you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos, videos, and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Whether you’re looking for daily walks, home visits, overnight stays, or extended holiday care, I’m here to make life easier for both you and your beloved companion — and give them all the love they deserve.

Professional belly rub provider, enthusiastic treat distributor, and long time master of saying “who’s a good boy?” Your pets will feel right at home and will almost certainly decide I am their favourite human in no time.
I grew up in what can only be described as a mini zoo, where animals were part of everyday life rather than just pets. From birds and chickens to mice, rabbits, bees, fish, dogs, cats, and even goats, there was always an animal nearby. If it existed, I probably shared a snack with it, helped care for it, or gave it a comfortable place to rest. Growing up surrounded by so many different animals taught me patience, awareness, and how to understand each animal’s unique personality and needs.
Because of this upbringing, caring for animals feels completely natural to me. I know that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and comfort levels, and I take pride in making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for while you are away. For me, looking after pets is not just about feeding and walks, but about creating a calm, loving environment where they feel happy, understood, and at ease.

Hi, we’re James and Josie 

We’ve just returned home to the UK after travelling and are excited to continue our journey as dedicated pet sitters. We’re caring, compassionate, trustworthy, and experienced; we’ll treat your pets with the same love, respect, and affection as if they were our own (they’re royalty, after all ).

We both hold full UK driving licences and have a spacious car should transport ever be required. We’re confident in administering all types of medication and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for animals with different needs.

I (James) have loved animals from a young age, I even managed to persuade my parents to let me get a dog, and that’s where it all began! Since then, I’ve worked with several dog walking and pet sitting companies in England, as well as running my own small business alongside my full-time job. Now that I have more time to dedicate, I couldn’t be happier to be back doing what I love most: caring for animals.

I (Josie) grew up surrounded by pets: cats, horses, guinea pigs, and fish; and I’ve always been passionate about looking after them. I also volunteered at a horse yard that offered therapeutic riding for disabled children, which was such a rewarding experience. But at the heart of it all, I just love animals (especially cats ).

If you’d like to know more about us or our services, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’d love to meet you and your furry (or not-so-furry) family members soon!

James &amp; Josephine

I’m Flor from Argentina. I’ve had pets all my life (dogs and cats simultaneously), and I
consider them part of my family. Every walk is a special moment for them, so I take the time
to go at their pace so they can enjoy it, sharing games and healthy walks. When it comes to home care, it’s also a space for play and cuddles, so they feel safe.I have experience in dog and cat care for 2 years. I’m always ready to listen to what you have to say about your pet, its needs, and preferences, so that the experience for both your pet and you is as pleasant as possible and both feel comfortable.Im responsible, attentive, and always aim to provide the best care for your pet. You can trust me to give them the love and attention they deserve! If you need me, contact me! Hugs!

Hello caretakers of furry pets,
I'm a 30yo cat lady healthcare professional with an insatiable love for animals. I have two cats and also look after my neighbour's dog when needed. I've realised that I just can't get enough of them and visiting anyone's pet is the highlight of my day. I am genuinely interested in the wellbeing of pets and see giving them company while their pawrents are away as so important. I want them to be happy and healthy and loved even when their parents are away. I already help out in my apartment complex but would love to branch out to meet more angels and naughty beans. At the moment I will only be doing visits as the house is full. But this may change :)
I'm available evenings, weekends, Monday and Wednesday all day. I can visit/walk for upto half an hour. But let me know if you need more. I am trained to give injections so happy to give medications for special cases! Also will adjust to the temperament of your baby, whether they want space or lots of love :)
Please reach out if you'd like me to visit/walk/feed/play with your pet 

Hi  I'm Annique, a 40 year old female who works in native fish conservation.
I've had lots of pets in the past (cats, dogs, birds, fish, mice, a rat, rabbits, guinea pigs.. you name it!). I currently work away too often to have a pet of my own but have so much love and cuddles to give.
I live in a modern, light filled, townhouse in Preston, with a secure grassed backyard and a small deck area which pets just love. I'm very active and so I really enjoy strolls with the pets that stay with me. I can also accommodate pets that may be a little nervous around other animals and plan walks during quiter times/locations.
I'm fine with pets inside or outside, and am also open to taking them for day trips (e.g. the beach) if suitable.
I offer pet boarding and pet daycare. Happy to administer oral and injected medication if required. I will only board multiple pets together if both owners agree, and pets are socialised. Unfortunately I can't accept pets that have destructive behaviour (digging, chewing, etc.). Out of consideration for my neighbours, I can only accept pets which are well-behaved and don't bark excessively.
While pets are staying with me, I make sure my home is a place they're able to feel as safe and secure as possible. I have no pets and so I can ensure a calm and peaceful space for your pet.
Pets can be dropped off after midday on the day of arrival and collected before midday on the day of departure. An early drop off or late pick up may be possible, but may incur a fee for an extra day.
I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your wonderful pets :)
