"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."

"Paul was a great pet and house sitter, and we'd be happy to have him stay with our dogs again. I appreciated his communicative approach both before and during our time away, and even checking in on the dogs once we were settled home again. We returned from our trip to 3 happily fed and walked dogs, and a tidy and clean house. Overall we found Paul to be a conscientious, reliable and friendly pet sitter, and would recommend his services without hesitation! "

"What a gem Arlenne was! She treated our geriatric cat and rambunctious labradoodle with much care and respect, sharing daily updates. When we got home, the place was left in great condition and the pets were calm and relaxed. I would highly recommend Arlenne to anyone who needs a pet sitter. "

"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.

"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."

"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!"

"I had an excellent experience with Bjoern when I had to travel overseas last minute for a week. He stayed at my house overnight, ensuring my cat (Gia) wasn't just looked after but also had lots of company during the week. I received updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. Gia was happy when I returned and my apartment was well looked after. I highly recommend Bjoern to anyone in need of a great pet sitter! "

"I have been using the Pawshake service for a number of years, but this is the first time I have used the house sitting service.
My little dog went blind last year so we needed someone kind and understanding to take care of him at home. This included administering medication and eye drops. Eva did a wonderful job looking after Alfie and he was happy and contented when we arrived home. The communication was good, and we received plenty of updates.
We were away for 12 days, and Eva looked after the house really well. Everything was lovely a clean when we arrived home.
Eva was also able to accommodate some unexpected changes to our travel plans, which we appreciated.
I would happily recommend Eva as a house/pet sitter, and we will use her services again.
Thank you, Eva.

/nightFrequently asked questions about house sitting
Your house sitting questions answered
What do I get when I book a house sitter?
When you book Pawshake house sitting, the sitter will come and stay in your home. Your pet will be cared for and home kept tidy, including any extra agreed-upon tasks like bringing in the mail and watering plants. Every booking comes with veterinary coverage in case of accident or illness.
Are there house sitters in Sydney?
Someone will be there to help you no matter where you live in sunny Sydney. Check it out for yourself by searching for your suburb on our website or app. Many sitters on Pawshake are happy to travel to wherever you are located, so just reach out by sending a few sitters an enquiry message.
Is it safe to use a house sitter?
Absolutely. Our sitters are fully verified and are only permitted to join Pawshake if they have proven experience in looking after pets. Plus, using house sitting is great for home security. They can keep an eye on things while you are away and make sure your home looks lived in.
How should I prepare for a house sitter?
Before your house sitter arrives, give your home a vacuum, put away the dishes and make sure there are fresh sheets on the bed. Your sitter will really appreciate this. Also leave a list of clear instructions and a supply of essentials like cleaning products, pet food, litter, and toilet paper.
