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 Patterson Lakes 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 Patterson Lakes 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 Patterson Lakes 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.

I'm patient and gentle with pets and I am able to look after your pets as if they were my own while you are away. I will give care to each pet that is best suited to their individual needs. I am firm yet gentle with animals, using play and always positive reinforcement training to make sure they always feel safe.I love taking dogs on walks and making sure they get to go out and get their daily exercise. I have had plenty of experience with long haired dogs therefore I can provide basic grooming.I have worked at kennels previously, therefore I am very confident with taking care of your furbabies. I am more than happy to give any required medication to your pets.For house visits, I'm happy to take in mail, put out the bins and water plants for no extra charge.IMPORTANT: Multiple visits in a day for Daycare will have an extra charge of $10 per extra visit.My location is Patterson Lakes and I am willing to travel within a 15km radius from Patterson Lakes.All new customers need to go a meet and greet. Please give me your full address on the morning of the day before 8am and allow for at least 20 minutes for time so that your pet and I can get to know each other. I can also do key pick up and drop off before and after the pet sitting.I am excited to meet your fur babies!


Hello,
I’m Jinsill. I'm 27 and working as a graphic designer. I currently raise a lovely poodle in Korea and am now living in Australia, missing my dog dearly. It's the reason why I am looking for a pet-sitting job, and I'm really looking forward to it! I took care of my dog for 8 years before coming to Australia. I know how to administer medication to dogs, bath them, and communicate without causing stress.
While my English isn't extremely fluent, communication has never been a problem. I love walking, running, and being in nature. I have a deep affection for the touch, scent, and language of dogs. I'm someone who adores dogs and would like to apply for the pet sitter position.
I live in Patterson lakes(Perfect area for dog walking) and I am generally available weekdays and weekend both. Because I work three hours in a day from home.
I can play fetch and take your dog for walks. If you'd like, I can take pictures of the dog playing and send them to you. I enjoy visiting the off-leash park two to three times a week to play with various dogs. And my neighbours are dog-friendly. 
Thank you in advance. 
Jinsill.

Hello pet parents, I am Cyril, a passionate and detail-minded dog trainer from Hong Kong. I also helped out in a dog shelter for years. I believe building healthy relationships with animals is the key to having a loving pet. I am currently living with two cats. I am also fluent in 3 languages, English, Mandarin and Cantonese.
It's a fulfilling experience to help owners and their pets build an unbreakable bond. A sustainable way to communicate with our pets is essential throughout the journey. 
I mainly focus on behavioral modifications, my training method would be positive reinforcement. It's because I believe it is the training method that everyone can learn and it is easy to become good at. I also provides basic understanding of owning a dog, for example, how to properly walk a dog, how to properly play with a dog etc.
I look forward to hearing from you and we can solve your pet problems together! 

Hello! My name is Amy and I'm a dog lover from way back.&nbsp;
I currently do not have a dog as I'm renting my place, but I grew up with Great Danes, and can't wait to get my next one in mid-2024. I work 9am-5pm Monday-Friday, (2 days are work from home and the other 3 in the city) within the Higher Education sector.&nbsp;
Experience 
I volunteered back in 2015 at Save a Dog centre for a short period of time, but it became to hard with full time work. Since then I have just looked after friends, family, and through word of mouth contacts. &nbsp;
I have provided dog sitting on and off over the last 7 years, while maintaining my normal 9-5 job.&nbsp;
I am experienced in handling, exercising, and feeding, and am generally happy to be away from my place for up to 1 week at a time. Extended bookings (10 days or more) require a mininmum of 1 months notice. 
Police check is in progress.
My pet care services 
Dogs only, as I'm allergic to cats. 
As I rent, I cannot offer to have your dog(s) at my place, but I am more than happy to do either of the following:
Dog &amp; House sit 
Dog and house sit at your place (which I believeed is preferred for dogs anyway in their own space!) while you're away. Depending on the poochie, 1-2 walks a day, lot's of play time whether that be tug of war, a game of fetch, or just lots of snuggles. I always make sure to send you photos/videos of your paw baby while you're away. 
Stop in 
- Call in twice a day (AM &amp; PM) to walk and feed the dogs 
- I will always send you videos and pics of your pooochies while you're away 
Please note that this option will only be avaiable for people within 15-20k from me.  I usually go to the gym everyday, so when I housesit, often I will use my gym time for exercising the dog. Whether that be a 20-30 run, or a 30-40minute walk to the park for some ball time!&nbsp;
I can't wait to meet you and your special paw babies soon! 



Hi, I’m Linda 
I've always had a soft spot for dogs. Growing up in Sweden, my wish list was pretty consistent: a dog. Birthdays, Christmases, and even Easters passed, and while I didn't get my wish, it did steer me towards dog sitting. Turns out, it’s a dream come true in its quirky way—I get to hang out with dogs and help their humans out. Win-win!
Fast forward to now, I swapped Sweden for Australia, traded student life for a BA in Digital Media, and landed a gig as a Product Designer that lets me work anytime, anywhere. This means I'm all in for playtime, cuddles, and the occasional work-from-home buddy in the form of your dog.
About my living situation: I share a space with my bonus Aussie family. It’s a lively household with my Aussie mom, who’s a wizard at making a house a home; my Aussie dad, who knows a thing or two about everything mechanical and electrical; and their daughter, my friend and Ruby’s human, who’s now adventuring abroad more often than not. Ruby, by the way, is our resident Rough Collie, who's mastered the art of being everyone’s friend.
Here’s the scoop: our place is practically a dog haven. No dog of ours is going to be left alone in the backyard—that’s just not how we roll. We’re all about keeping them involved, whether it’s hanging out with us indoors or going on adventures around the neighbourhood. And because I’m around so much, you can bet your dog will have company and entertainment around the clock.
We’ve got the space, too. Our backyard is the kind of place dogs dream about, perfect for those who love a good sniff exploration or a spirited game of fetch. Friends and family have dubbed it “Motel M,” and honestly, the name just stuck.
I’m all about making sure your dog feels at home here. From arranging doggy playdates for the social butterflies to ensuring every guest has their favourite spot to lounge in, we go the extra mile. Think of me as the fun aunt who’s got the snacks knows all the best walking trails, and is always ready for a cuddle session.
Looking forward to making your dog’s acquaintance and hopefully, making your life a tad easier.&nbsp;
Thanks for stopping by.&nbsp;
Linda&nbsp;&nbsp;


Hello :)

We are Matt and Vicky along with our 2 beautiful kids Riley (age 3) and Ava (age 1). We are all animal lovers having owned cats and dogs our whole lives.

Matt grew up on a dairy farm in regional New Zealand and worked in the farming industry for over 25 years, mainly with dairy and beef cows, and recently with chickens.&nbsp;

I (Vicky) grew up in the UK but have lived in NZ for the past 10 years. Growing up i had a St Bernard and a Labrador.  We have a Border Collie called Vinnie who is going to stay in New Zealand on a dairy farm with the grandparents while we go on an adventure.

For the past 3 years we have lived on a chicken farm with our two kids and so we have all been around various animals every day.&nbsp;

We moved over to Australia in August and have been house sitting all over your beautiful country with our kids making some great memories before settling down.

Although our kids, Riley and Ava are young, we are raising them to be tidy and respectful of other peoples property and so you have no need to worry about your trusted possessions! Riley is super helpful and loves being outdoors walking our dog or visiting the cows. We are sure he will love walking your beloved pet too (of course with us :-p)

We won't be working and so will always be around to take care of your home, pets and plants and ensure everything is maintained just how you would like whilst you have a well deserved break.

We are both non-smokers, enjoy a healthy lifestyle and love getting outside.&nbsp;

Any questions please ask. We are very happy to answer any and all of your questions.

Look forward to hearing from you!


I have had pets since I was a baby. I love taking care of cats and dogs. I have two dogs to who I love and who spend most of their day getting cuddles and getting to go on walks.I love all dogs no matter how big or small. I would love to come walk your dog or come house sit and give your dog all the attention they would enjoy. I understand not all dogs are lap dogs or want cuddles all the time but like to have company.I am a University student so while house sitting I would keep your dog company and playing with them or taking them for a walk while also doing some study.I would be happy to take care of puppies or older dogs, either for dog sitting or for walks. I understand that older dogs may need some extra love and care while going for walks and I am happy to do that.I am happy to come to give your dog their food during the day and making sure they are having a good time and relaxing.I love hanging out with dogs either playing with them or just lounging around giving them cuddles. I know every dogs needs are different and I'm happy to accommodate whatever the needs of your dogs are.

Hi, my name is Desi and I am 25 years old. I have been caring for pets since as long as I can remember!&nbsp;
Services I offer
Pet sitting (in your home)&nbsp;
i only offer pet sitting for stays over 2 nights. 
I started volunteering at my local animal shelter along side my parents when I was 12 years old, once I turned 15 I started dog walking after school most days. By the time I was 18 I had been working with animals long enough to know that was my passion, that is when I began pet sitting. I am now 7 years into my pet sitting business and I love every minute of it.&nbsp;
In 2020 I received a diploma in veterinary nursing and began working as a veterinary nurse for an emergency vet clinic. So I am fully qualified to look after pets of any shape and size. This also means I am able to administer medications if necessary.&nbsp;
I currently work full time so I am out of the house during business hours, however I will walk pets morning and evening. Currently in my own home I have cats and a large dog, so I am used to taking my boy on multiple walks a day.&nbsp;
I would love to chat more and get a chance to meet your beautiful pets! I want nothing more than to be able to provide love and care to your precious pets when you are away, and I guarantee you will not have to worry as your pets will be in incredibly safe and capable hands.&nbsp;


My name is Teagan Hogben, I'm 18 years old and an animal lover, especially dogs. I'm currently taking a gap year and theres no better way to spend it then with something I love.. animals! I don't remember a time in our house when we didnt have a dog, plus another pet(rabbit, bird, guinea pig). I couldn't imagine living wihtout the company of a dog, my dog sophie brings me light everyday and when I'm down I always can smile by giving her a hug. I hope you can let me take care of your animal/dog knowing theyre in good hands. I have experience walking, feeding, brushing and taking care of a dog as I have always done so for my own. I have also in the past had a rabbit, guinea pig and bird so know a lot about how to take care of these animals as well. All my friends would tell you I'm a very happy and positive person whose always willing to try new things. I'm happy to come to your house to take care of your dog, travel to were ever is need and provide any services your after. Your pet will be in good hands and I will give them all the love and care that they need.I hope to hear from you soon and dont hesitate to ask me any questions.Thanks Teagan

Dear pet owners,
I am Carla, a 25 year old girl from Germany on a working holiday visa. I am passionate about caring for animals and really miss my furry friends at home, so I would love to look after yours!&nbsp;
I have a farming background and grew up with dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, geese and two ponies. Currently we have a Dachshund and a German Wirehaired Pointer (thankfully in care of my family at the moment). I love spending time with them. Being active and going for long walks every day is something that I love. I already have experience with housesitting in Australia. I have an Aussie House Sitters account and I have looked after dogs and cats in Queensland and Melbourne.
My services include dog walking, home visits and house sitting. I am based in Black Rock, 5 minutes walk to the beach. I have my own car, so I am very flexible. I am currently working three days a week in a café, so I'm not available every morning, but I am available every afternoon and evening. Depending on my weekly schedule at the cafe, I can do housesitting for a few days. Whether it's daily short or long walks, interactive playtime, or cozy cuddles, I ensure that your pets receive personalized attention tailored to their individual preferences. Unfortunately I cannot offer dog boarding or day care as my landlord does not allow animals in the house.&nbsp;
I will give your pet the care and attention it needs and will enjoy every second spent together! I look forward to being a pet sitter again!
You can be sure that your animals are in the best hands with me.
I would be very pleased to hear from you:)
Many thanks
Carla
