"
Anja was a reliable and friendly house sitter and took great care of our indoor cat and blue heeler. She followed medication and special dietary instructions for our dog and sent us a few photo and text updates as our kids were missing their pets. Anja left the house in a clean and tidy state and the animals were left clean and happy and their toileting areas were cleaned up. It was lovely to return home to. We highly recommend Anja for your house sitting or pet sitting needs."

"We felt absolutely comfortable leaving our two cats in Joe's hands (apart from missing them while we were gone!). Joe is reliable, punctual, conscientious and a warm and lovely person, and he has genuine animal expertise and good instincts. Regarding the home, I consider myself a bit obsessive when it comes to neatness and cleanliness: Joe left our flat spotless. The cats seemed stress-free and happy when we arrived home - Joe kept in touch regularly with photos of the relaxed felines in his company. We warmly recommend Joe for pet-sitting and house-minding."

"Diana and her husband Sebastian were absolutely amazing pet sitters for our 2 little cats. They honestly looked after them soo well, I felt so comforted that they were in the best hands. They were so warm and loving to our cats and it absolutely showed when we came home, they were really shown so much love the whole time we were gone, they even got some new toys for them. We got great updates from them about the cats antics throughout the week. The house looked great when we got home and we absolutely will be using Diana and Sebastian as our pet sitters again in the future. 😊

"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!"

"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.

"Chloe and Darcy were the absolutely best, I could tell that our floofs were in excellent hands at first meeting by the way they spoke to Crumpet and Albie. I got discrete updates while away on how the floofs were doing. I cannot recommend their care enough. Our two dogs sometimes see them on our walks and greet them with lots of wags and demands for pats. "

"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 🖤"

"Thank you Pedro for looking after Pika.
Pedro is a first class dog sitter - he is caring, communicative and took Pika for twice daily walks paying attention to his needs. Pedro uses his vet training and human intuition to really care for Pika’s well-being. He sent us reassuring messages and photos daily and responded quickly to all communication. I highly recommend Pedro for your pet’s care. We will definitely be calling on Pedro again. "

"Sam was a brilliant dog/house sitter and our dogs loved her. Our two young dogs are a challenge at the best of times but Sam took in her stride everything they threw her way, including steak stealing, escaping from Alcatraz and sneaky pees.
The house was spotless when we returned and I am not sure the dogs missed us at all. Her regular photo updates were priceless and gave us the reassurance we needed that everyone was OK.
I cannot recommend Sam highly enough and I am already trying to secure her services for Christmas."

"I’m super grateful for all of Ugne’s fantastic efforts in looking after my two cats for me while I was overseas for 4 weeks.
She is reliable, trustworthy, respectful, great at communicating and kept me in the loop with regular updates and photos of my much-missed fur babies.
Most importantly though, through her kindness and patience, she was able to establish a strong bond with my cats, which is no small feat considering how timid they can be due to their pasts (they are both rescue cats). My confidence in her care and knowing my cats were happy meant I was able to truly relax and enjoy my trip without worry.
The cherry on top was coming back home to a beautifully clean and tidy place with all the linen washed, dried and folded! I was very impressed.
Thank you so much Ugne, you’re welcome back anytime and I know Blankie and Misha are missing you dearly already! Much love Ria xx "

"Lily was a great choice. My dog (Zoe) is aged and has developed her own idiosyncratic behaviours. Lily listened to Zoe's needs and responded by providing the care required. Lily stayed at my house and treated it perfectly. I came home to a clean house, a well cared for and happy dog and even a welcome home gift. I will be using Lily again and highly recommend her. "

"Once again Danielle provided exceptional love and care for my two beautiful feline boys. I think she might be a cat whisperer as they clearly just moved straight into her care without a problem. She provided wonderful photos at least twice a day and updates on their behaviour and moods. She clearly cares for Sam and Dexter very much and I felt confident being away from them while she was looking out for them. She also left my house in immaculate order for which I am hugely grateful. Cannot recommend her highly enough. She is a true animal lover and a gem of a house sitter. No wonder she is in such high demand. Thank you Danielle !! "

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 Yarra 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 Yarra 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 Yarra 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.
