"We are so pleased to have found Barbara to care for our two dogs and cat over the Easter long weekend, we enjoyed our time away without any worries knowing she was taking wonderful care of them. Barbara kept us up to date by sending me photos and messages each evening, and it was lovely to see my babies enjoying walks, playtime and cuddles on the couch just like they do when we are home. Our house was left lovely and clean! I will be recommending Barbara to everyone looking for a smart, kind and responsible pet sitter. Thank you Barbara 😊❤️"

"I had Jessica stay at my home to care for my elderly cat, Marty, who has ongoing medical needs, for 10 nights while I was away. What initially drew me to her was her profile, which mentioned her experience with senior pets requiring special care—and I’m so glad I trusted my instincts, as she absolutely lived up to that impression.
From the outset, Jessica showed genuine enthusiasm and care. She was eager to come and meet both Marty and me as soon as I made contact, which immediately put me at ease. She asked thoughtful questions to fully understand Marty’s routine, behaviours, and medical requirements.
Jessica provided me with daily updates, with detailed notes on Marty’s habits, moods, and any changes she noticed. On top of that, she handled a fair bit of cleanup due to Marty’s condition, which I was incredibly grateful for—and I returned to a spotless home.
Jessica was kind, responsible, and truly attentive throughout the entire stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter, especially for animals needing a little extra care. 10 out of 10 from me!"

"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.

"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! "

"Annabel and Alex agreed to catsit for us very last minute due to a late cancellation, and we were so happy to have found them. They were excellent with communication and left the cat very happy, and the apartment so tidy. We would not hesitate to recommend them and to have them catsit for us again :)
Thanks again, you really saved us at the last minute!"

Frequently 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.
