"After a late change in plans, Zoe saved the day and accepted our house sitting booking 2 days out. She took excellent care of our 2 cats and 1 dog while we were away and sent plenty of updates and photos. Our shy cat who is weary with strangers even felt comfortable enough to spend time downstairs with her. We came home to happy pets and a clean house. would definitely recommend!"

"Ghawady took amazing care of my cat Lola! The experience of meeting and booking was seamless and stress free and I went away confident that everything would be taken care of! Lola doesn’t generally like new people but she very quickly became comfortable with Ghawady, which is a credit to her way with cats and respect for animals! She took such great care of Lola and gave me daily updates and pictures. Ghawady also took great care of the house and was super tidy! The cherry on top was the amazing professional photos she took of Lola which were so beautiful! Thank you Ghawady and I hope you can take care of Lola again next time I travel 🙏"

"Cintia is a fantastic pet sitter. I have a very special needs pooch who is 14 years old, deaf and blind and Cintia took great care of her - they just loved each other! And I was able to go away without worrying about anything. She did everything I asked her to do (gave her a very long list!). She was highly considerate and respectful of my home environment as well as taking care of Jazz just the way I would. And had no trouble giving her medications daily. I would not hesitate to book her again and again! Plus she's a delightful person and so easy to deal with. "

"I cannot express enough how grateful we are for Ruth’s exceptional care of our 8-week-old puppy. From the moment we met Ruth, it was clear that she is not only highly professional but also deeply passionate about dogs. Her trustworthiness and genuine affection for our little one put us completely at ease.
Ruth’s attention to detail was evident in every aspect of her care. She followed all of our instructions to the letter, ensuring Sid's needs were met with love and precision. It was clear that he felt safe and cherished under Ruth’s watchful eye. We received regular updates and adorable photos, which reassured us that our puppy was not only being well cared for but was also thriving.
Ruth’s caring nature and dedication went above and beyond our expectations. It’s not just about looking after the dog; it’s about making sure they feel loved and secure, and Ruth excelled in this. Her understanding of puppy behavior and her ability to create a nurturing environment made all the difference.
We wholeheartedly recommend Ruth to anyone in need of a dog sitter. She’s a true gem, and we couldn’t be happier with the level of care she provided. "

"Absolutely nothing to fault. First time we’ve had a dog sitter so we were a bit apprehensive. Daniel is very obviously a good, genuine guy when you meet him though and we felt reassured immediately.
He was great with our dog, kept us updated with regular photos without us even needing to ask, was great at communicating in general, and was a very polite and considerate house guest to boot. Absolutely nothing to fault and would book again without any hesitation."

"Shona is extremely reliable who has extensive knowledge of what each of my pets required. (Energetic puppy aged 4 mths and 17 yr old cat). She went above and beyond for their care and looked after our house whilst we were away. She was consistent with her communication via texts, photos and video footage and she was so thorough and accurate we were able to have a relaxing getaway knowing everything was taken care of back home. I can not thank Shona enough for her genuine care, hard work and loving nature towards our pets. I fully recommend Shona for any family needing pet care and house sitting. Thanks Shona for all of your hard work and support and we will definitely contact you again hopefully in the near future."

"Daphne was fantastic! I would highly recommend her to others, and we will defiantly look to book her again in the future! Five stars all around for 3 nights of petsitting at ours looking after our 2 indoor cars, a dog, and 1 bird. Daphne was lovely, indicated obvious experience, and interest in our pets, their normal routines, and their quirks. Our house was sparkling, used washing done, and bed made with fresh linen on arrival home. Thanks so so much Daphne!! "

"I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog, Moose, in Ignacio's care for three nights, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very first conversation, Ignacio was extremely professional, and his communication was excellent. Like any dog owner, I was a little anxious about leaving Moose with someone new, but as soon as we met Ignacio, I knew he was the perfect fit for the job.
Ignacio and his partner, Maria, are a wonderful couple, and they truly went above and beyond. Ignacio sent regular updates, including pictures and videos of Moose at the dog park, which put my mind at ease. It was clear Moose was having a great time and felt right at home, almost as if he was having a fun sleepover with friends rather than just waiting for me to come back.
When I returned, my house was left in perfect condition, and I could tell Moose had been well cared for. If I could give 6 out of 5 stars, I absolutely would! I highly recommend Ignacio and Maria to anyone looking for responsible and caring pet sitters."

"You couldn't ask for a better dog-sitter than Louise – particularly for any overnight stays.
Louise looked after my 14-year old ("special needs") silky terrier. He's a sweet old boy who is almost completely blind and has a lot of separation anxiety. So obviously leaving him in a kennel or at a friend's place when we go away just doesn't work.
Louise has such a lovely demeanour – I knew from the first meet-n-greet that she is trustworthy and very attentive. She remembered all of the details for his care (and there are plenty!). Her communications are frequent, very clear, and included several photos of her interactions with Schroeder. And not least of all, Louise left my place in perfect condition so I returned to a very tidy home.
Thanks Louise! I hope you're available to stay over for our next camping trip or getaway. "

Why house sitting ?
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 Richmond 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 Richmond 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 Richmond 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.
