"Ylenia was an absolute godsend when it came to caring for my two fur babies while I was in the hospital for seven days. My cats are normally quite shy and skittish around strangers, preferring to hide rather than engage, but Ylenia's warmth and patience won them over almost instantly. Her ability to create a safe and loving environment meant that my cats not only felt comfortable but also thrived under her care. She maintained their routines, ensured they were well-fed, and most importantly, showered them with the affection they needed in my absence.
What amazed me most was the transformation in my cats' behavior around her. I've never seen them take to someone so quickly—within days, they were literally eating treats out of Ylenia's hands. Her calming presence and nurturing energy were exactly what they needed to feel secure. She didn't just provide basic care; she truly understood their personalities and needs, making sure each of them felt valued and loved. It was clear that she has an innate ability to connect with animals, even those who are initially wary of human interaction.
I couldn't have asked for a better caregiver for my beloved pets. Ylenia’s dedication, patience, and compassionate nature made all the difference during a stressful time in my life. Knowing my cats were in such capable and loving hands allowed me to focus on my recovery without any worries. I wholeheartedly recommend Ylenia to anyone in need of pet care—her kindness and incredible energy make her truly exceptional!"

"Cassandra's care of our Corgi , Sunny was exemplary. She went above and beyond to ensure that Sunny was well looked after and happy. In addition to his regular twice daily walks, she took time out during weekends and a public holiday to take him for numerous outings to the beach, city and a family picnic.
She regularly sent photographs and videos of these events and it was evident that he enjoyed himself thoroughly. This was particularly impressive as his behaviour seemed to improve while he was with her and reinforced her dog training credentials.
Sunny displayed both exuberance and obedience in equal measure when he was in Cassandra’s presence.
I would not hesitate in recommending Cassandra to anyone who needs a dog sitter and would also not hesitate in using her again. Cassandra’s professionalism, enthusiasm and overall attention to detail was outstanding.

"Michael communicated very well from the start and right throughout the house sit. It was lovely and comforting to receive regular updates and photos of all my pets.
On my return I came back to a happy fur tribe ( 4 of them😊) and an extremely clean and tidy home.
Michael is a fantastic sitter and I would have no hesitation in recommending him as a house and pet sitter. I would love to have Michael house sit for me again also. "

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Jessica as a pet sitter, and I couldn't be more impressed! From the moment we met, Jessica was warm, professional, and clearly a true animal love; took the time to get to know my pets' personalities and routines, ensuring they felt comfortable and safe in her care.
Throughout her time with my pets, Jessica sent regular updates, including photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were happy and well-cared for. It was evident she went above and beyond, whether it was providing extra playtime, giving pups a wash, or simply offering them cuddles.
I came home to two very content pets and a clean home, and I am so grateful for the exceptional care Jessica provided."

"Ariel looked after my rescue staffy, Winter, for an entire month! I'd never been away from her for more than 10 days so was a super nervous mum, especially given she's a rescue and has separation anxiety.
Because of this, I hired Ariel for many walks, house visits and an overnight trial in the lead-up to my holiday so they could get well-acquainted and build trust. Ariel was so patient, understanding and caring throughout the entire process.
Even though Winter would refuse to walk with her, Ariel persevered with positive reinforcement and really showed how much she cared for Winter's well-being. This was also evident throughout the month she housesat and looked after Winter. She managed Winter's medication and allergies with the utmost care and knowing my baby was in good hands, really allowed me to enjoy my holiday to the fullest. I got constant updates throughout and the house was so well kept.
I'd highly recommend Ariel to any pet parent who wants someone to truly care about their pet and do whatever it takes to show them the love and patience they need. She's truly a gem and I'm so glad I found a sitter I can trust and rely on! "

"Placing your pets whilst you holiday is always a difficult decision. We were so lucky to have found Bianca who came and looked after our three aging pets in their own home. She did such a good job our dog ignored us for the first hour upon our return. Bianca provided all of the care our pets needed and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter as we were."

"Alyssia was a delight to deal with when meeting and preparing her for our first dog sit.
After an initial introduction meeting, she met with my wife to dog walk and go over instructions which gave us great peace of mind.
While we were away she kept in touch and sent dog photos. We were very pleased with this whole experience.
We have had Alyssia undertake random dog sitting evenings and couldn’t recommend her highly enough. "

"JR was simply amazing! She handled everything with grace and maturity, and we were so glad we'd booked her. From the very beginning of the meet & greet it was clear JR is an 'animal person' as both our dog and cat warmed to her straight away and seemed really calm around her (this is not typical for the dog especially). JR asked sensible questions which was helpful because it was our first time booking someone through a site like this. While we were away, she sent updates at least daily, and it was really clear the pets were well looked after and getting a LOT of attention.
I highly recommend JR as a pet sitter. "

"Margaret was the perfect pet sitter when we went away for the weekend. She took special cared for our dog who was recovering from an operation - cooking her special meals which was really appreciated. Margaret was a great communicator and kept us in the loop as to how our dog and cat were going while we were away. Our house was left perfectly clean and tidy. Margaret is very trustworthy and I would have no hesitation in recommending her.

"Roy is a wonderful person. We left our 2GSD's under his care and they both seemed very happy and well taken care. Roy has a systematic approach and he took our dogs for walk, understood all the details very well and did continued the same routine for our dogs. The most important part was I contacted him via Pawshake at such late hours and he replied early morning at 4 and was at our place 7.30 sharp in the morning. This was totally incredible! I am very very thankful to Roy for taking our request at last minute. I would highly recommend him if you want your furry friend to be in safe and kind hands :)"

"Rosie is a fantastic sitter and I can't recommend her highly enough!
Our family recently had to travel interstate at short notice. We have a shy cat and a large pond full of fish. From our very first interaction, Rosie was prompt and clear in her communication. She took the time to ask detailed questions about our pets’ routines, preferences, and any special instructions we had regarding the pets and the house. During our trip, she sent twice daily updates with photos, for which our kids were very grateful, and which reassured me that our pets were in great hands.
Upon returning home, I was impressed by how clean everything was. Rosie made sure to keep the litter box tidy and the feeding area spotless. It was clear that she treated our home and cat with respect and care.
Perhaps the most heartwarming aspect of Rosie’s care was her evident kindness. Our cat, who can be a bit wary of new people, warmed up to her immediately. According to my teenage daughter "she passed the vibe check". She clearly loves cats, and her genuine care made a world of difference.
Overall, Rosie is a fantastic cat (and fish) sitter and an excellent choice for anyone looking for someone reliable and loving to care for their pets. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for future pet-sitting needs!"

Laura took on housesitting for just under 2 weeks. On our return, the place was clean and tidy, the pups were happy and we will definitely be using her services again. Thanks Laura! Zeus and Willow are already missing you!! "

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 St Leonards NSW 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 St Leonards NSW.
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 St Leonards NSW 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.
