"I couldn’t have asked for better people to look after Miyu while I was away!
Chintia and Jeff were so warm, thoughtful and caring, and it was obvious from the regular updates and photos that Miyu felt safe, settled and loved. Coming home to a happy, relaxed dog gave me so much peace of mind.
Miyu can be an anxious pup and take a little while to warm to new people, but she clicked with Chintia and Jeff from the first meet, I was shocked! Miyu seemed more disappointed than excited when I arrived home, it was obvious she enjoyed herself with you guys 😆
Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of her.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy pet sitters."

"We highly recommend Rocky who took wonderful care of our dog in our home. Rocky took time to understand our pets individual habits and requirements prior to us leaving. She is an excellent communicator,respectful and a lovely person who clearly has an interest in caring for animals. Our house was also left very clean. Thanks again Rocky."

"Poly and her partner Cainã were genuinely the best catsitters we had for our babies Dusk and Marcel. Poly sent us daily updates with pictures, and worked out how to manage to quirks of each cat's personality. Poly was thoughtful and eager to make sure our trip away had minimal impact on our fur babies, and went to great lengths to make sure they were happy, fed, played with and taken care of. When uncertain about one of their behaviours (tuxedo cats are going to always have the sass to match their outfit) she was prompt to reach out to inquire if there was more she could do or if she was overlooking something in his routine which meant such a great deal to us that she was so dedicated to Marcel's care. On top of this, Poly and Cainã left the house in stunning condition (and we are ashamed to admit but far better state than we left it in!). The kitchen looked profesionally cleaned, all the bins had been emptied and taken care of, and the place had been thoroughly vaccumed (all things we did not ask them to do!). The few instructions we left for the final day were meticulously followed, and they handed back over to use seamlessly. Overall, we will 100% be delighted to have Poly and Cainã take care of our babies again, and cannot recommend them highly enough!"

"This was my first time needing a dog-sitter and I was quite nervous about finding the right sitter who would tolerate our kelpies’ quirks for an overnight stay. Shadae ended being a great first pick. Her communication was great, and she connected with the dogs straight away. I left them knowing they’d be in good care. In the end I wasn’t concerned they weren’t going to be well looked after - I was more concerned if the dogs would be good for her! Would totally recommend to others."

"Niamh did a fantastic job looking after our two West Highland Terriers, Dougie and Angus, and our Maine Coon cat, Apollo, while house sitting our apartment for six nights. She kept in touch throughout our trip with regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind knowing everyone was happy and well looked after.
We came home to three very happy pets and an apartment that was spotless. She had vacuumed, cleaned everything beautifully and even washed her linen before she left, which was a lovely surprise.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Niamh to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thanks again, Niamh. We really appreciate everything you did and we’ll definitely be booking you again for our next trip."

"Vanessa stayed at my house and took fabulous care of my two dogs for an extended time . They were clearly loved and looked after. Which is exactly what as a devoted dog owner you hope for. One of the dogs was recovering from unexpected major surgery do required more attention with medication and lead walks. This dog can be nervous , so Vanessa did a great job of making her feel secure. Vanessa frequently sent photos of the dogs and ask timely and relevant questions about some aspects of care, which were so appreciated. Vanessa was always keen to know each dogs specific needs and l came home to two happy dogs! Thank you Vanessa 😀"

"We booked Alvina very last minute as our original cat sitter had to cancel, so we were very hesitant going forward, but Alvina exceeded our expectations!
She understood the needs of the cats, both of whom were senior and was very proactive with asking any questions.
She kept us updated every single day, twice a day, with long, informative messages, and plenty of photos. Couldn’t be happier and we would without hesitation use her again, or recommend her to anyone! Alvina is the BEST!"

She showed great care in making sure Dede was eating as much as she should and taking her medications, and she asked lots of good questions. She also left our apartment lovely and tidy. We’d really happily have her take care of Dede again. "

"We booked Alicia just two days before our trip when our original pet sitter cancelled. We have a very ill, complicated senior cat, and Alicia was absolutely wonderful with her and our dog, Buddy. She confidently handled all of our cat’s medication needs and even took her to the vet twice a week. Her communication was amazing, and we were able to relax on our trip thanks to her. We came home to a stable, well-cared-for cat and a happy dog. We’re so grateful for the care Alicia provided!"

"I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Gerardine! She was incredible with our very shy cat. She had our cat warming up to her in record time, you can tell she’s such a cat person and the daily updates/photos put us at ease straight away.
We came back to a very tidy and clean house, she even left us a framed picture of Alaska, which was such a special gift!
I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a 10/10 cat sitter. Thanks again G ❤️"

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 West Melbourne 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 West Melbourne 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 West Melbourne 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.
