"Antonia was an absolutely amazing dog sitter for our senior greyhound. He can be anxious with new people but Antonia formed a really sweet bond with him very quickly and he was up on the sofa with her every night (which is the true sign of a friend for life with him)!
She was really diligent with his routine and he thrived with her care. I really appreciated the daily updates and she was very responsive and open.
I’d 100% recommend Antonia to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter. "

"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!"

"We recently had the pleasure of having Zoe look after our beloved Frenchie, and we couldn't be more thrilled with her. From the moment we met her, Zoe exuded professionalism, warmth, and a genuine love for animals, which immediately put us at ease.
During our time away, Zoe took impeccable care of both our house and our dog. We returned to a home that was just as we left it – tidy, secure, and well-maintained. More importantly, our dog was clearly happy, healthy, and incredibly well-cared for.
What truly set Zoe apart was her proactive communication. She regularly sent us delightful pictures and updates of our dog, which provided immense peace of mind. Knowing our furry family member was not only safe but also enjoying her time with Zoe allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our trip without any worries.
Zoe is reliable, trustworthy, and goes above beyond to ensure both pets and homes are given the best possible attention. We highly recommend her to anyone in need of a fantastic house and dog sitter. She's a true gem!"

"Sabrina was so easy to communicate with leading up to the sitting period, she came over and met our pup, and grabbed the keys a couple of days before. During the sit, she kept us updated about our pooch and left the house immaculate. We came home to a very happy puppy and a very tidy house. Absolutely would recommence Sabrina to anyone 🖤"

"We honestly could not have asked for a better catsitter than Ghawady. From the moment we met her, you could tell she is a true animal person. She was so kind, calm and genuinely loving with our fur babies.
She took incredible care of them and went above and beyond with updates. We received so many photos and videos while we were away, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was so reassuring seeing how happy and relaxed our cats were in her care.
She also left our home spotless and treated it with so much respect, which we really appreciated.
The funniest part is that when we got home, our cats barely cared we were back. They genuinely seemed to miss their catsitter, which says everything.
We would happily have Ghawady back anytime and cannot recommend her highly enough. 💛🐾"

"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 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."

"Niamh did a fantastic job looking after our two West Highland Terriers, Dougie and Angus, and our Maine Coon cat, Apollo, while house sitting our apartment for six nights. She kept in touch throughout our trip with regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind knowing everyone was happy and well looked after.
We came home to three very happy pets and an apartment that was spotless. She had vacuumed, cleaned everything beautifully and even washed her linen before she left, which was a lovely surprise.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Niamh to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thanks again, Niamh. We really appreciate everything you did and we’ll definitely be booking you again for our next trip."

"I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter
From the very beginning, Ellie took the time to really understand my cats’ personalities, routines, and little quirks, which meant so much to me because Luki and Rex can be quite particular and anxious. While I was away, I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring and attentive hands.
She went above and beyond — not just feeding and cleaning, but genuinely engaging with them, playing with them, and making sure they were comfortable and stress-free. I loved receiving updates and seeing how relaxed and happy my cats were in their own home environment.
It’s clear Ellie truly cares about animals, and it shows in the way she handles even the small details. Coming home to calm, well-looked-after cats was the best feeling.
I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend Ellie to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely amazing pet sitter."

"Maite did a great job looking after our dogs (Irish Wolfhound and two Whippets). She left the place very tidy and the dogs seemed well looked after when we came home. She sent us messages and photos during our holidays so that we knew the doggies were OK. I highly recommend her as a dog sitter. :)"

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.
