Animal Loving Registered Nurse for house sitting in Sydney!1.3 km

"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.

"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!"

"Mairead recently stayed at our home for nearly a week to look after our dog and cat, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience.
She was thoughtful, capable, and clearly very experienced with animals. Our dog Stella is anxious and requires medication, and Mairead handled this both sensitively and confidently, keeping us informed, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Both pets were well cared for, settled, and happy on our return.
She also took care of our home, leaving everything clean and in excellent order.
We would absolutely recommend Mairead to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter, particularly if you have pets with additional needs."

"We are so happy with Susannah’s lovely care of our boy Grandpa! He is a rescue cattle dog and she was very sensitive of his needs and was very loving when she met him.
Grandpa was also very tuckered out when we got home, which is a wonderful sign that he got all the exercise that he needs! ☺
She was so happy to receive lots of info about Grandpa and the house, which made us feel very confident. She also kept in great contact whilst we were away, and watered our plants for us ☺
Attentive, friendly, conscientious! 👏"

"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! "

"We are so grateful to have found Daisy and can’t thank her enough for taking such great care of our two cats and our apartment. Daisy was fabulous from the moment we contacted her, responding promptly and communicating clearly. She asked plenty of thoughtful questions and demonstrated a strong commitment to providing the best care for our pets, which put our minds at ease. It is clear Daisy has had plenty of experience with pet sitting and has a genuine love of animals. She is an all round wonderful person who is reliable, empathetic and able to quickly build trust. She also won both our cats over and was receiving head boops from the second day of her sit. We returned home to a spotless apartment and two very happy felines, who seemingly never even noticed we were gone! We highly recommend Daisy for any pet sitting needs and will certainly book her services again in the future. "

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Talia as an excellent in-home pet sitter. She was very caring, professional and helpful - even coming over to collect the keys for an early start! Thanks, Talia!! "

"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! "

"Ciara looked after our dog Jessie for a week. I found her easy to communicate with and to be a reliable and responsible young woman who also dealt with a couple of 'non dog' issues for us as well.
Jessie is an old dog and can get quite stressed when we go away. She was relaxed and comfortable on our return.
I'd book Ciara again if needed."

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.
