Hi, I’m Mariah 🐾 Originally from Perth so I am new to this app.
I’m a dedicated and experienced pet sitter based in Melbourne, offering house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with both your pets and your home, and I pride myself on providing reliable, attentive, and personalised care.

I have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. My experience includes energetic working breeds, puppies, rescue animals, senior pets, and animals with behavioural quirks or anxiety. I’m confident adapting to each pet’s routine and personality, whether that means long walks, enrichment play, quiet companionship, or maintaining strict feeding and medication schedules.

I have experience with:
✔ Puppies and toilet training
✔ Senior pets and mobility support
✔ Rescue pets and anxious pets
✔ Separation anxiety
✔ Reactive dogs
✔ Administering oral medications
✔ Following specialised diets and feeding plans
✔ Multi-pet households
✔ Overnight care and long-term stays
✔ High-energy breeds needing structured exercise

Growing up surrounded by animals gave me a strong foundation in understanding their behaviour and needs. I’ve also volunteered with the RSPCA and Cat Haven, which deepened my knowledge of animal handling, trust-building, and welfare.

When caring for your pets, I prioritise keeping their environment as consistent and stress-free as possible. I know routines matter — from feeding times and walks to bedtime habits and comfort rituals. My goal is always to make your absence feel as easy and calm as possible for them.

I provide regular photo and video updates so you can stay connected and feel reassured while you’re away. I’m happy to water plants, collect mail, and keep your home clean and secure during house sits.

I live a quiet, non-smoking lifestyle, work/study flexibly, and treat every home with respect, cleanliness, and care. I’m new to Pawshake, so while I’m still building reviews on the platform, I can provide excellent personal references and a current Police Check.

I’d love to organise a meet-and-greet beforehand so we can make sure it’s the perfect fit for both you and your pets.
