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 Newcastle NSW 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 Newcastle NSW.

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 Newcastle NSW 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.

Hi, I’m Megan! I’m a huge animal lover and have been surrounded by pets all my life. Growing up I cared for dogs, cats, and rabbits, so looking after furry friends has always come naturally to me. I’ve also spent time working with horses, so I’m very comfortable around animals of all sizes and temperaments.

I’m based in Merewether and offer local dog walks, drop-in visits, and house/pet sitting, with a wider travel radius. I work full-time during the week, so I’m best suited to evening visits and have more flexibility on weekends.

I understand every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always try to keep things as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and settled in my care. Whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra company and cuddles, I’m happy to adapt to whatever your pet needs.

I’m also happy to send photo updates while you’re away so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well looked after. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect as my own.

Perfect for busy schedules, weekend plans, or time away — I offer a calm, reliable, and low-stress service you can trust.

I’d love to meet you and your furry babies

Hello :) I'm Louisa, in my early 30s, and originally from Germany. After completing my Master's degree (Global Health) in Sweden, I moved to Australia with my partner about a year ago and have been able to gather ample of pet sitting experience.
I primarily offer pet care in the home of pet owners and therefore enjoy walking dogs in their familiar surroundings. This maintains routines, so the dogs feel safe and can enjoy their familiar paths and favourite places.
I lived with my own dog for over 13 years. She was a rescue and a beloved family member to me. Through her, I learned not only about the daily care but also the responsibility and patience required to provide an animal with a happy life.&nbsp;
During my travels, I was also able to gain valuable practical experience: In Romania, I worked at an animal shelter and a clinic for dogs and cats, in Spain, I helped at a dog rescue center, and in Malaysia, I supported a cat rescue. My duties there included administering medication, bottle feeding, and providing intensive care for sick and young animals.&nbsp;
In addition, I took on numerous pet-sitting assignments last year, including around 20 multi-day assignments in Australia – many of them for recurring clients.&nbsp;
I am excited to expand this network through Pawshake :)


As a lifelong dog lover and proud owner myself, I know just how much our furry friends mean to us. My own dog has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and fun on every walk — and I bring that same care to every pup I look after. Whether it’s a slow sniff-filled stroll or a high-energy adventure, I tailor each walk to suit your dog’s personality and needs. Safety, trust, and happiness are always my top priorities.

I understand that leaving your dog with someone else can be a big deal, so I make sure every walk feels like time spent with a friend — not just a service. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your best mate is in caring hands. Every walk is more than just exercise — it’s a chance for your dog to explore, play, and feel loved.

Thanks :)

I come from the countryside and grew up surrounded by animals. They give me energy and joy, and I love spending time with them. I am French and have been living in Australia for a year. During this time, I worked at a kennel in Queensland and in a dingo rescue near Canberra, where I took care of dingoes for two months. Then I looked after and walked a Golden Retriever in Sydney for three months. I would love to be around dogs, cats, or other animals again, which is why I am looking to do pet sitting. I have a car, so I can easily come to your home and take your dog(s) to the beach or the park if you wish. I also have a cat waiting for me in France. So I am perfectly capable of looking after your cat(s). Having been around them since I was born, I am very familiar with their needs and how they communicate. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

I am a 32 year old Chilean 'young man' who has lived around dogs all life, however, I came to Australia and don't intend to have any pets yet, so I miss the feeling of walking, playing and running with them. I enjoy being around any kind of dogs, but have more experience with bigger size breeds. I also have the ability to go out with more than one if necessary. I usually have good chemistry with dogs I haven't met before and I feel like I understand their need really well. I love to go for a jog with them or just going for a chill walk so they can enjoy the outdoor and release some energy. If you want your dog to go out to enjoy and be in good hands do not hesitate to contact me and I will do my best to coordinate and have both a great experience. Previous experience: With my own dogs  (x6 I can give medication (pils) to dogs.
I prefer morning walks/runs or at night (5am-7:30am or after 18:00)
I would go to any close Parks or walks along the Beach, depending on location. Preferable Newcastle East - Merewether Walks. 30min to 1 hour walk, depending on the dog's energy.
Cheers,Luis
