"Michelle is amazing - she took wonderful care of my little fluff (who instantly took to her despite being shy), was very good at communicating, and cleaned up beautifully after her stay. I would give her 6 stars if thst was an option."

"Carolina was fantastic. She gave us many updates and communication was a breeze. She was not phased by our variety of pets and cared for all with love. The pets were all happy and settled with her. I would not hesitate to use her again.

"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 🙏"

"Sophia was a fantastic pet sitter! She stayed with our fur baby Ranger over the Christmas holidays. She kept us up to date with lots pictures and he was a happy and content pussy cat when we returned home. We would definitely recommend Sophia to anyone looking for a responsible pet sitter who will put your mind at ease while you are away!"

"Jessica was a brilliant sitter for our house rabbit, Pebbles. The booking was made relatively last minute but despite this her communication was great and she prioritised coming over in advance to see the house and to meet Pebs. During the stay, she sent us regular updates and photos (which were much appreciated!) and clearly took really great care of Pebs, spending lots of time with her and being considerate about her care and routine. Knowing she was in good hands made it much easier for us to relax while we were away.
Jessica also left the house in wonderful condition - we had zero issues in this respect.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents! 🐰💗"

"Vanessa stayed at my house and took fabulous care of my two dogs for an extended time . They were clearly loved and looked after. Which is exactly what as a devoted dog owner you hope for. One of the dogs was recovering from unexpected major surgery do required more attention with medication and lead walks. This dog can be nervous , so Vanessa did a great job of making her feel secure. Vanessa frequently sent photos of the dogs and ask timely and relevant questions about some aspects of care, which were so appreciated. Vanessa was always keen to know each dogs specific needs and l came home to two happy dogs! Thank you Vanessa 😀"

"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. "

"Hoda is a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of our furry pets. From the start off, when we first met her we got an excellent first impression, that leaving our pets with her will have no concerns at all. She is very friendly and kind and was great with our pets and was always sending photos every evening to us. When we came home after a week away, our pets were relaxed and happy. Thank you Hoda for looking after our pets and we would definitely be in contact next time if we are going away again."

"Fran made us feel very comfortable leaving our cat with a pet sitter for the first time! She was very thorough and helpful guiding us through the process during our initial meeting. Daily updates with photos were lovely while we were away and she left the house in great shape with sheets in the wash and bins taken out! Would definitely ask Fran to house and cat sit again!"

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.
