In home pet sitting services are a great way to break up the day and enrich it for your pet. Pawshake pet sitters have extensive experience caring for a range of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and more. If you have multiple pets, home visits are a great option to ensure that they all get a visit and lots of attention during the day.

Drop in visits are the least stressful option for your pet because your pet can stay in their favourite environment – their own home in Cairns City QLD. Their surroundings will be familiar and our loving and passionate Pawshake sitter will spoil them each day. Our sitters will treat your home with respect and are flexible with timing, requests and durations. All this can be discussed before you make a home visit booking.

Unlike pet hotels, Pawshake pet boarding allows you to arrange a personalised daily routine for your pet, whether this be extra belly rubs, playtime or 24 hour supervision. Your pet will stay with the pet sitter in a cosy home environment, rather than a large, impersonal pet hotel.  

So whether you need just one day, a week or even a month, you’ll be able to find an experienced pet or dog carer to accommodate you and your pet’s needs in Cairns City QLD. The best part is that your Pawshake pet sitter is from your local neighbourhood, so they will be familiar with the area.

Our pet carers also have a range of experiences which include puppies, seniors, nervous pets and dog training. So if your pet has special requirements, you’ll be sure to find a pet sitter that is a good match for you.

Your pet’s safety and welfare is a big priority for us, which is why all of our Pawshake pet sitters undergo a strict vetting process by our trust and safety team. At Pawshake, we understand that you might feel a little uneasy allowing a pet sitter to enter your home or arranging pet boarding at their place. This is why Pawshake pet sitters also have reviews from other pet parents that are publicly available on their profile for you to read.

Each pet sitting home visit and pet boarding booking made through Pawshake is covered by the Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer support 7 days a week and more. Rest easy knowing that your pets will be well looked after by one of our expert pet carers in Cairns City QLD.

Hello! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always had a deep love and respect for animals. Back home, I currently have a yellow Labrador who is energetic, loyal, and brings so much joy and companionship to my life. In addition to caring for large dogs like Labradors, I also have experience with smaller breeds such as a Shih Tzu and a Jack Russell. Through looking after a variety of dogs, I’ve learned to meet their individual needs—including feeding, walking, grooming, basic training, and providing emotional care and comfort. As a dog walker, I understand the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation for dogs. I make sure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and personality. Whether it’s a slow, sniff-filled stroll for a senior dog or an active, playful outing for a high-energy pup, I’m always attentive to their wellbeing. Being around animals makes me genuinely happy and fulfilled, and I’ve always felt a natural connection with them. I’m very passionate about animal welfare, and I hope to turn that lifelong passion into meaningful and rewarding work. Nothing would make me happier than being able to give animals the love, attention, and care they truly need and deserve. I treat all animals with love, patience, and respect, as if they were my own, and I’m happy to discuss any special requests you might have!

Hi! My name is Michelle and I’m a responsible, friendly and active person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals, especially dogs. For me, pet sitting is not just a job, but something I truly enjoy and take seriously.
I have previous experience walking dogs in the apartment building where I used to live. I regularly took them out for walks lasting between 30 minutes and 1 hour, making sure they received enough exercise, attention and care.
I’m comfortable with different types of dogs, including energetic dogs that need active walks and shy or calm dogs that require a more patient and gentle approach. My priority is always to keep them safe, happy and relaxed.
During walks, I make sure dogs get exercise, water if needed, and a positive experience. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they feel confident and informed.
I’m currently working, so I offer pet sitting as a complement in my free time. This means I’m fully committed to every booking I accept and always aim to be punctual and reliable.
I’d love to take care of your dog and make sure they have a fun and safe experience! 



Hi! My name is Camila, I'm a 31-year-old from Argentina currently living in Cairns, Australia. I've grown up surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Back home, my family always had both dogs and cats, and they've always been much more than pets—they're family.Since moving overseas, one of the things I miss the most is being around animals. That's actually one of the reasons I decided to join this platform. Spending time with dogs and cats fills a little piece of home for me, and I genuinely enjoy giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve while their families are away.I'm responsible, reliable, and active, so I'm happy to go for walks, play, stick to feeding routines, give plenty of cuddles, or simply keep your pets company. I understand that every animal has its own personality, and I'm always patient and respectful of their individual needs.You can trust that I'll look after your furry family members as if they were my own. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and happy while giving you complete peace of mind. I can't wait to meet your wonderful pets and create a bond with them!


Hello and welcome to my profile!
My name is Gwladys, and I’m a passionate animal lover with several years of experience as a pet sitter and dog walker. Having grown up around animals, I am comfortable and confident with dogs, cats, and other pets. I understand the unique needs of each animal and ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve, following their routines and preferences.

Here’s what I offer for your pets:
	•	Dog Walking: I provide walks tailored to your dog’s needs, whether they need a high-energy walk or a more relaxed stroll. I ensure that your dog is safely kept on a leash and pay attention to their well-being during our time together.
	•	Pet Sitting at Home: I can take care of your pets at your home, providing meals, cleaning litter boxes, and giving them lots of love and attention. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away.
	•	Care and Companionship: If your pet has specific needs like taking medication or requires extra care, I’m happy to assist with that in a gentle and attentive manner.


I always make sure to respect your pet’s habits to ensure their stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, while providing a calm and reassuring environment. My goal is to ensure both you and your pet are completely satisfied with my services.

Hi! My name is Florencia. I'm 34 years old and right now I work in the morning doing housekeeping in a Motel.&nbsp;I grew up all my life with female dogs, and I have been a caretaker of friends dogs. Likewise, all of last year I shared an apparent and the care of a dog.My neighbourhood is very quiet, and you can see many dogs walking around everyday.I am available for services in the afternoon and evening during the week, and all day on weekends.My services include: feeding and administering medication if required.&nbsp;Home visits will be 1 or 2 hours. I can also water plants and collect the mail.&nbsp;Walks or strolls with the dogs will last 1 hour and we will walk through nearby parks for example Primrose Park, Drevesen Park, and the other Erik Shaw Park or along the Esplanade Street.Feel free to contact me if.

Hey, I'm Gemma. I'm originally from England and I've lived all over Australia for the last 17 years. I've spent most of my time in Perth and now I'm seeing what it's like to live in Cairns :)
I love having the freedom to move around, but it means that I can't keep my own pets, and it's a big thing that I miss. I've been house sitting for about 18 months in total and have house sat the same pets multiple times. I have included some reviews in the photos section.&nbsp;
I love looking after cats and small/medium size dogs; not including bull terriers (great dogs, but they're too powerful for me). I'm happy to house sit/visit or to walk 2 dogs at a time.&nbsp;
At the moment my car is in Perth and it won't be in Cairns for another few months, so I'm happy to house sit anywhere that I can get to. I will get a lift there and back from friends and as long as I can get to the shops and to the park/beach easily enough walking or getting the bus then I'm all good.
I usually work/study from home and apart from exercising and meeting friends for lunch/dinner, I'll usually spend most of my time at home.
Please ask if you'd like to see my police check certificate.&nbsp;


I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up surrounded by them, from farm animals like horses and cows to dogs, cats, rabbits, and more. Caring for them has always come naturally to me.As a teenager, my mum worked with an animal rescue association, and we often fostered pets in our home for about a month while they waited for their forever families. This meant I was constantly caring for different animals, including those needing extra patience and love.I’m a very responsible, calm, and caring person who truly enjoys spending time with animals. My love for them even led me to become vegetarian 11 years ago.I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine.I can walk your pet for as long as required or take care of them for a few hours, a morning/afternoon taking them for a walk, playing outside... Or do a house visit. I don't have a car at the moment, I live in the esplanade so I could go anywhere with public transport :)Your fur baby will be treated like one of my own 🤍

Hi, I’m Andrea 
I'm an Ecuadorian traveler and creative. I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, and in my house there were  between 2 and 4 dogs at all times. I recently worked for a premium pet care service in New York City, where I got to know and look after 89 amazing pets in the neighborhood.  I always make sure to build a great relationship with the pets, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable during buddy walks. I feel completely comfortable taking care of them, playing with them and administering any medicine they need, and I'm certified in Dog and Cat First Aid. I’ll make sure your pets get all the love and exercise they need!Apart from that, I’m super clean and respectful of other people’s spaces, and I absolutely love going on walks—especially with a dog by my side!  In my free time I love exploring the world, meeting new people, hiking in nature, or practicing aerial silks. And as much as I love being outside I also love a cozy day inside, reading or watching a movie. I’m also a big plant lover! In my last apartment, I had over 30 plants that I kept thriving for years.
