"Vy was an absolute lifesaver—she accepted our booking with less than 12 hours’ notice after our original sitter, Madeleine, let us down. Madeleine overfed the pets, kept the dog locked in, arrived late, and abandoned them the second night after I asked her to let the dog out (locked for over 20 hours). Motion sensors and cameras (she was informed in writing) confirmed she lied about doing it, then canceled and left our pets alone for 24 hours! It was the most distressing time! Stuck in Fiji with limited internet connection and no family support in Melbourne, I honestly hope no one has to go through this!!
Pawshake immediately cancelled Madeleine Oruba.
Thankfully, I found Vy through old messages, and she stepped in instantly! She cared for our senior pets, gave them medication, kept us updated with photos, and flagged issues like peeing on rugs, vomiting and food shortages. The previous sitter had used 8+ tins of cat food in just two days!
Vy is reliable, honest, and an excellent communicator. We’re incredibly grateful she was there when we needed her most. Thank you Vy! "

"Cassandra and her daughter took great care of our cats while we were on holiday. She was super communicative and sent us regular updates and pictures. Our cats seemed to love them and it gave me peace of mind knowing our cats were in great hands. "

"Tannia was absolutely fantastic with my two anxious Westies. Her communication was great - sending lots of videos and photos to keep me up to date. I was amazed how happy, calm and relaxed the boys were as it was their first time with a dog sitter. I couldn’t be happier to book her again and recommend to anyone! Thank you Tannia!

"Brendan house sat our two whippets for 10 weeks (April - June). We'd never left the dogs for that length of time before and I was apprehensive about leaving them for so long with someone they didn't know. But at our meet and greet I knew we had the right person, and we were able to go away and totally enjoy our holiday without any concerns. Brendan had attention to detail in all areas of our dog's wellbeing and communicated regularly with information/discussion and photos. Due to this we were confident that no matter what situation our dogs could be in Brendan would make wise choices for our dogs best outcomes. Our older boy, Boz suffers with separation anxiety and it takes him awhile to settle in with new people. During these first few weeks there were a couple of days Brendan had other arrangements, and couldn't stay with the dogs. Although we had a family member stay we had Brendan walk/visit Boz & Brianna. I was taken by the amount of time and care he gave them during these few days. Brendan went over and beyond what I was expecting. His care and concern for Boz was amazing. We came home to two very happy, content dogs. Brendan was here when we arrived home and gave us a thorough hand-over. We were also able to see how Boz and Brianna interacted with him; they were very comfortable and relaxed around him, and enjoyed going to him for pats and cuddles. (this was the true testament of their care) After been home for a few days now, our 2yr old is a lot more settled and also better on her lead. Also, Brendan left the house in perfect condition. We will certainly have Brendan look after our two again and would not hesitate recommending Brendan to care for your pets."

"We booked Alicia just two days before our trip when our original pet sitter cancelled. We have a very ill, complicated senior cat, and Alicia was absolutely wonderful with her and our dog, Buddy. She confidently handled all of our cat’s medication needs and even took her to the vet twice a week. Her communication was amazing, and we were able to relax on our trip thanks to her. We came home to a stable, well-cared-for cat and a happy dog. We’re so grateful for the care Alicia provided!"

"Jenn took amazing care of my dog poppy while me and my partner travelled interstate. We got constant updates and photos which really alleviated any anxieties we had about leaving her. Jenn was incredibly respectful of our home and Poppy got a long great with her which was amazing as she struggles to warm up to people. 10/10 Would hire again "

"Jacob is a god sent pet sitter! I was lucky he took up this request as it was last minute. He made an effort to come for meet and greet and to understand the complex care requirements of a diabetic and geriatric cat. He did so well caring, medicating and checking the cat's blood sugar that one could not tell it was his first time caring for a diabetic cat. She was very stable and her routine was followed. He also initiated proposal to feed her differently whenever her blood sugar was borderline lowish. This shows he understood her medical condition well. He gave daily updates, and the house was very well kept and tidy. laundry from accidents from the cat were attended to promptly. I could tell from the photos that she was enjoying his company and was comfortable with his care. Thank you Jacob. Very grateful for the peace of mind you had given to me and my cat. "

"Gabby was easy to communicate with and very friendly from start to finish. We were very comfortable leaving her in charge of our house and 6yo Greyhound for 17 nights when we went on holidays. Gabby sent regular messages and photos which showed that our dog was in good hands and comfortable with his dog sitter. When we arrived home both house and dog were in perfect condition. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gabby's services to my friends and family. "

"Rhea was fantastic, great with my cat and dog (she took my dog adventuring to the flower show!) and they were extremely well cared for and doted on while I was away. Rhea also took great care of my house during her multi day stay and even washed the sheets without being asked to do so. I highly recommend her services and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Cheers Rhea! 🙏"

"We were so incredibly impressed with Bridget's care of our three shy cats! She has a gift with shy cats :) She didn't just look after them; she truly engaged with them through play, cuddles, and treats. This surprised me because my cats are so scared of strangers or even my friends!
The regular, accurate photo updates were fantastic and so appreciated. We could tell she provided exceptional care and genuine affection, which made our trip away so much easier. We wholeheartedly recommend Bridget! :)"
