"Julia was an incredibly considerate and thoughtful pet sitter. I loved how she asked what my preferences were with updates and kept me in the loop with photo updates of my cat Gigi. Gigi was very relaxed and not at all stressed when I returned home, so I knew she had been in good hands. I felt very at ease trusting Julia with her. 10/10 could not be more happy!"

"Ghawady went above and beyond to provide the best care for our two cats. She is far and away the most professional, conscientious, and communicative house sitter we have ever had. She sent beautiful photos that really captured both kitties personalities and was extremely attentive to their needs. We will absolutely be using her services at every possible future opportunity and cannot recommend her highly enough. "

"Fran looked after my 3 cats and fish whilst we were away. Fran was friendly, kept the house clean and tidy, and provided great handover notes for when we returned. The cats and fish were happy and well cared for when we arrived home. Would highly recommend Fran for your next sit, she is mature minded, lovely natured, trustworthy and will take great care of your crew. Our minds were put at ease so we could enjoy our holiday without the worry of the welfare of our animals. "

"Wow what a find Jess has been. She is an awesome dog sitter. We would be happy to recommend Jess for all the reasons below and more that we don’t have time or forgotten to record. Our dog is an old 16-year-old mini schnauzer who can have off days where he falls and cannot get himself up. We have always used family in the past with this is the second time we have used Pawshake, the first was a short weekend away a few weeks before this big trip. We are very impressed with the ease of the Pawshake app and the responses from dog careers, the ones who have an interest are happy to come out for an interview where they meet our dog, check out the house and answer any questions you ask. The reviews online give you more confidence. We were heading to Europe for four weeks and Jess was a available to meet a few months before our holiday and again a few days before our trip to reacquaint. She was always easy to contact, happy to cook chicken and rice for our fur baby who has health issues and needs twice daily pain pills. Jess was also happy to take our dog to the vet when required for general health maintenance / injections, even offered to do the injections herself. During the trip we received regular updates with photos/videos and on the odd occasion when our dog had a health scare, Jess was in communication with the vet and us to work out the next steps. When we returned Jess left us a fridge of fresh milk and fruit & vegetables and pre-made dog food. The house was very clean, our dog was happy and looking for Jess after our return. We hope to use Jess again for future trips, just need to start saving for our next holiday. Thank you, Jess! You are so much more than what we were expecting. "

"Tannia supported us with a last minute request following another boarder letting us down. She came to see us and meet our two dogs and we could instantly tell she's a dog lover. She was a considerate house sitter and everything was clean and tidy following her stay. The dogs were super happy and we had loads of video and photo updates. We would not hesitate in booking Tannia again and in fact she's doing a longer house sit for us in a few weeks. "

"Linda was a fantastic house and dog sitter. She readily accommodated some last-minute changes to our travel plans and diligently walked our two kelpies twice a day. It is clear that she loves dogs and manages them well. She was a great communicator and sent daily photos She left the house spotless and even washed the sheets and popped them in the dryer before she left. I would thoroughly recommend her."

"Samantha was amazing. We booked her for a home stay to look after our two (extremely needy) cats. Not only did she send the cutest updates of our boys, they were both incredibly content when we returned home, not anxious at all! Sam THANK YOU for taking such wonderful care of them. We will absolutely be using Sams services again she is fabulous. "

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 South Melbourne 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 South Melbourne 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 South Melbourne 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.
