"We were very happy with Courneys initial response within a few hours of contacting her as we had to go away quite quickly so needed to get Charlie sorted as soon as we could.
She came round for a meet and greet and Charlie was more than happy when he met her.and so was I.
Whilst we were away she kept us informed of Charlie's days and sent us lovely photos and videos. Charlie looked totally at ease and happy to be with Courtney and when you are away from your pet that is something that really puts your mind at ease.
We came back to a lovely tidy home and a happy dog..
I would have no hesitation in recommending Courtney to anyone. for pet/house sitting. She is a lovely person who cares about animals , as she has several pets of her own
I am sure if Charlie could type he would add his own recommendation as well .
Thank you Courtney"

"Ridah was really chill and easy to deal with. She communicates really well and makes you feel like nothing is a drama. One of our pooches was getting over an upset tummy, so we were a bit worried about leaving her with a new sitter, but Ridah handled it super easily and won all the furries over in no time. About to rebook now..."

"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. "

"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! "

"Lara and Nahuel were great house and pet sitters for my little toy poodle and I would highly recommend them.
They were responsive and accomodating from the beginning, coming over to the house for an introduction and then another time to pick up the keys. They also were able to stay at my place until I was sure my plane had landed safely to return home. It was the first time I’ve left my dog for so long and they doted over him and made sure he was happy. My dog has anxiety and they made sure to give him lots of cuddles. They sent me updates throughout my trip which put my mind at ease. They are a lovely couple and left the house nice and clean and tidy with bedding washed. Thank you Lara and Nahuel for allowing me to enjoy my holiday without having to worry. "

"Sarah was fantastic pet sitter. She was communicative from the meet and greet to the day we returned. My two dogs were so relaxed and happy when we got home. We decided to try pet sitting over the kennel for this exact reason and I’m so glad we did. The house was also left clean and tidy. We’d love to have Sarah back anytime! "

"This was my first time leaving my dog with a pet sitter and I couldn’t have chosen a better sitter. My dog usually takes time warming up around new men, but with Julien he felt safe from the very first meet and greet. Julien took great care of my dog while I was away. 10/10 recommend!"

We came home to a relaxed, happy cat AND a very clean house, which is always much appreciated when returning from a holiday. Kate was easy to communicate with & sent regular updates and pictures of Mischa. We definitely recommend her for looking after your furry friends and will be booking her again for our next trip.

"It was lovely to return home after 8 days away to our happy healthy joyous whippets. They certainly enjoyed their time with Nabs, whether relaxing with him at home whilst he worked or out on their daily sniffary around the local area.
The house was tidy, as we left it. I can recommend Nabs as a kind and competent whippet sitter and good communicator. We felt very relaxed leaving Nabs in charge and will certainly be asking him again in the future to sit for us."

"Maddy is a warm and caring person and an extremely experienced pet sitter. Both my pets loved their time with her and her husband. We loved receiving photos of their adventures and cuddles. Maddy knows what initial questions to ask to make sure your pet's little fur lives aren't disrupted while you're away, and that was really reassuring for me personally. She handled my anxious shelter cat very well, including when he peed on some bedding. I would book her for any future trips and recommend her for anyone nervous about finding an experienced pet sitter. "
