"From the first communication on-line to meeting my two pooches - Sam was awesome. Great personality and instant connection with Bulleit and Buddy. Great daily up-dates/pictures of pooches. When I got home both pooches looked pretty content with there few days with Sam. Highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for a great dog sitter."

"Cintia is a fantastic pet sitter. I have a very special needs pooch who is 14 years old, deaf and blind and Cintia took great care of her - they just loved each other! And I was able to go away without worrying about anything. She did everything I asked her to do (gave her a very long list!). She was highly considerate and respectful of my home environment as well as taking care of Jazz just the way I would. And had no trouble giving her medications daily. I would not hesitate to book her again and again! Plus she's a delightful person and so easy to deal with. "

"We had an amazing experience with Max as our pet sitter! It was such a relief to find someone who connected so well with our dog Fidel, who can be energetic, needy, and a bit cheeky at times. Max handled him with such ease and care—it was truly impressive.
Fidel needed to take medication during our time away, and Max followed all instructions perfectly. We came back to a happy, healthy pup and a spotless apartment. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Fidel was in such good hands.
We’re already looking forward to our next trip, knowing Max will be there to take care of Fidel again. We 100% recommend Max to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter. Thank you so much, Max!"

"Anastasia is the world's best dog sitter, we highly recommend her to look after your beloved doggo(s)! Honey our Golden Retriever had the best time with Anastasia it was a weekend full of adventures with plenty of love and attention.
When your doggo is in the care of Anastasia you can rest assured that your dog is having the time of its life and being treated with love and care as if your dog is her own.
We will definitely be asking her to look after Honey again!"

"
I recently had the pleasure of having Dyan take care of my home and my beloved cat while I was away, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Dyan was professional, reliable, and incredibly attentive.
My cat, who is usually quite shy, immediately warmed up to Dyan, which speaks volumes about her caring nature. She made sure that my cat was well-fed, entertained, and comfortable throughout my time away, sending me regular updates and even some adorable photos, which really put my mind at ease.
When I returned home, I found my house just as I had left it—clean, tidy, and well-cared for. Dyan went above and beyond by taking care of little things I hadn't even thought to ask about, like watering the plants and bringing in the mail.
I highly recommend Dyan to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring house/pet-sitter. She exceeded all my expectations and took exceptional care of both my home and my fur baby. I will definitely be calling on her again in the future!

"Kate was a great sitter for our two pups that can be a handful if you're not aware of dog behaviours. She was professional and tactful with the dogs when we had our first meet & greet. I've had other dog sitters let the dogs jump all over them. I've got a Staffy and a Kelpie cross...not breeds that you should let jump all over you! She also did a wonderful job caring for the house. Kate is trustworthy, and I'd recommend her for your dog sitting needs."

"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! "

"My partner and I booked Arshia to house-sit our 2 cats and 1 dog while we were away for 2 weeks and we couldn't be happier!
We were sent regular updates and photos and Arshia was great in communicating everything that was going on and ensuring all pets were happy and continuing with their dynamics and routines.
We came back to a clean house and happy fur babies, we will most definitely be contacting Arshia again when we go away again in the future!"

"Bethany has provided a great service looking after our two large dogs at home for the week. We left lots of notes to follow and all were managed with no fuss. Exercise and play was important and taken care of every day. Communication was always pro active and our dogs (and house) were extremely well looked after. We will definitely book again and recommend to others. Thanks."

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 Thornbury VIC 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 Thornbury VIC.
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 Thornbury VIC 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.
