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.

Hello, 

I am a 26 y/0 woman from England very much so missing her pets! I would love to take care of those and give back. I am very sporty and love being outdoors so if your pets are keen for little trips to the beach to splash in the ocean or the woods for a good sniff I'm your girl! 
I have two family dogs at home in England, a chihuahua named peanut and our oldest dog George, a fabulous jack russel who is the ripe old age of 17 and currently travelling Europe with my sister! I trained both dogs from puppies and have a keen knack for it. My dogs are trained so that they do not need a leash to be walked. 
I love all animals and looking after my siblings pets and my friends has always been in my best interests to spend quality time with all walks of furry friends! 
I first came to Australia to be a live in au pair, I love helping others and am grateful for every opportunity I have been given! 
Informing you when I have arrived at the property to great your pets is a must and when I leave to that you can be assured that they have been taken care of! Happy to provide photographs if needed
I understand that every pet is different and aim to treat each pet accordingly with their personality! Any dietary or health needs to be discussed prior to ensure the best quality care. 
I hope you pick me, your pets would be in the bestest care. 


I love being a pet sitter and I've had a wonderful experience using Pawshake with my Mum (You may have seen her profile (Nicole J) as a dogsitting dynamic duo. We've been dog-sitting ever since my beautiful dog Roxie passed away in February of 2023, during that time we have loved looking after pups and have made so many fun connections with the doggies and their families. Recently we've had to relocate and adopted a Border Collie puppy of our own so we can no longer have puppies stay with us at our home... However, I have recently looked after two gorgeous shepards at their home and had the best time. If your puppies feel anxious leaving their own environment and/or feel more settled being with their furry brothers or sisters, I am more than happy to come to you. I am responsible, friendly and reliable and more than happy to do daily household jobs, so you come back to a house as tidy and homie as you left it. I also have a flexible schedule because I work casaully while I'm studying at University. In all my experience with doggos, ranging from anxious, excitable, energetic and cuddly, I have loved every second of it and would be honoured to look after your puppies/or kitties and your home.&nbsp;

Animals have always played a huge part in my life and I grew up with Scottish Deerhounds, German Pointers, Vislas, Spaniels, Jack Russells and more so I have experience with all shapes and sizes. We also always had between 2-4 cats at any given time so very much understand their quirky personality traits too!&nbsp;
I love outdoor adventures in my spare time and even better to have a four-legged friend with me. Dog walks will be tailored to your pet's needs, ensuring they are safe but given plenty of exercise and stimulation.&nbsp;
A couple of previous reviews taken from my dog-sitting profile:&nbsp;
'Our dog adores Harriet, providing long walks and lots of treats. Completely reliable and trustworthy and since she can manage our beast, I imagine is more than capable of looking after any animal.'
'Our dog loves spending the day with Harriet. He settled in super well and Harriet was so kind and accomodating. We would absolutely recommend!'
I currently have low work commitments so can be available to help out any day or week with a car for pick-up/drop offs if needs be.&nbsp;
I am happy to housesit for long periods of time, can be at your home with your pet all day if you need and happy to stay overnight (water the plants, bring the bins out and check the mail if you need too!) Day visits can be for as long as I am satisfied that your pet is happy and relaxed.&nbsp;
I'm more than happy adminstering oral medication for your animals too if needed. 

Animals have always been a joyful presence in my life. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, horses, birds, and pigs. I understand how different each animal's needs and routine can be. I believe pets deserve attentive, personalised care that makes them feel safe and happy while their humans are away. I send regular updates and cute pet photos for your peace of mind.&nbsp;
My background includes volunteering with horses at Hunter Horse Haven and I have been doing pet and farm sitting for over 4 years.&nbsp;
Whether your pet needs calm companionship, playful stimulation, or just someone to stick closely to their established routine, I’ll tailor my care to match. This can look like preparing a diet specific meal or taking your dog to their favourite beach, I will always ensure your fluffy babies that they have everything they need to feel comfortable. I also ensure your home is left clean and cared for and have a green thumb if you need your garden taken care of too.&nbsp;
I see this work as a privilege and I’d love to support you and your pet with kind and professional care.


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 34 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)&nbsp;
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
