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 McKinnon VIC. 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.

Pet boarding is a great option for when you are away for a few days and your pet needs overnight care. 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 McKinnon VIC. The best part is that your Pawshake pet sitter is from your local neighbourhood, so they will be familiar with the area.

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 McKinnon VIC.

My name is Juliana, I'm 34 years old. I'm a brazilian national that have been living in Melbourne for seven mounths. I am a journalist and I managed to keep the job I had in Brazil and now work from home. However, I would like to do something different and related with animals because I miss a lot my dog that stayed in Brazil (her name is Nutella). So it will be a pleasure to take care of other people's pets as my own. I took care of my friend's cat (her name is Shady) that lives in Balaclava, while her parents were travelling around South Africa for three weeks. Also in Brazil, my last experience was taking care of two cats (Magoo and Princess). My partner and I were responsable for taking them to Amsterdam (where his owners were living) during a long travel by plane.&nbsp;
Finally, my main motivation to be a pet sitter is because I really love animals, especially dogs and cats. Living abroad is not easy, so I want do this job because to be in contact with animals is really good, especially for mental health. I am a very responsable and reliable person and I know how important a pet is for a family.&nbsp;
Now, I will tell a litlle bit about my services:- Dog walking -&gt; My service is available in all day (morning, afternoon and evening). I offer dog walking in a park for around 1 hour  (St Kilda, Elsterwick, Elwood) and just one dog at a time. I generally prefer to keep dogs on a lead unless an owner specifies. I'll keep in regular contact and send photo/bideo updates. I will collect your dog from your house, and bring them back safely. 
- Doggy Day Care -&gt; I am happy to look after your dog for long extended periods or as short as you need. I live in a small apartament with my partner that work during the day in a office. I don't have a garden, but I live next to a park and a 25-minute walk from the beach. Dog walks will be a duration of 40 min per walk, and a maximum of 4 walks per/day. It's important to say that I don't administer medication for the pets.
I look forward to meeting your furry companion 


Hi paw parents,
I am an active 50+ paw parent of a medium size groodle ready to assist other paw parents to look after their fur babies.&nbsp;
Why do I want to be a dog sitter?&nbsp;
Because I love dogs and I like helping paw parents. I know what it is like when you need help with your own fur baby and you need to leave them in the care of someone you trust. I appreciate the importance of that peace of mind they will be cared for while their paw parents are away.&nbsp;
I have myself used the services of paw sitters especially when my previous dog was old and needed company during the day. I am forever appreciative for that help and ready to be of service now.&nbsp;
What is my experience with pets?
I have had dogs my whole life because they make me happy and I couldn't live without them.
I have experience with rescue dogs (all my previous dogs except for the current one) have been pet recue.
I have experience with dogs of all ages. My previous dog lived until she was 19 years old and needed lots of extra special care.&nbsp;
I have also had dogs from puppy age.
I have looked after friends' dogs when they went on holidays.
I have also had cats for a few years.
When am I available?
I am currently not working, so available for walks or home visits during the day.&nbsp;
What services would I provide?
I am very active and will be delighted to take your dogs for a walk, have a play and give them lots of pats.&nbsp;
I will meet with you and your fur child/ren and will take a brief from you (get to know your pet; what they like or don't like; words they know; any special instructions).

Home visits: I will stay at least 30 mins. I will play with them, give them lots of pats, love and attention.
Dog walks: I will take them for a walk for at least 30 mins (time to pick up and drop off not included in the 30 mins). Preference would be to have them on leash. They can also have play time off leash with toys and balls in my garden.
Dog day care: I am open to providing this service. A lot would depend on how your dog gets on with mine (he is very friendly and loves to play) and on your dog's behaviour (my neighbours might not like excessive barking).

What is my neighbourhood like?
There are lots of dog friendly parks around Bentleigh East (King George Memorial Reserve ) and Hampton (Dendy Park) and of course the foreshore (Hampton).
I have a safe and large backyard.
Looking forward to meeting with you and your fur babies.


Hi there,&nbsp;
Ryan and I are from the UK and have recently moved to Brighton, Melbourne. Ryan is an accountant and I am a secondary teacher. We both love walking and being outdoors and are physically active.&nbsp;
We have had to leave our doggy (shar-pei/springer spaniel) Bruno back in the UK with his 'nanny' and therefore we would love to be able to help others and be around dogs in Australia. We obviously both have experience with dogs and are competent in all areas of caring for them. We would be happy to walk, or be able to help in any way. It would be desirable to be able to regularly look after the same dog, however we are open to one off walking.&nbsp;
We are currently available morning/afternoon and evenings. We are happy to do home visits or dog walking. Dog walks can be as long as requested.&nbsp;
If you wish to consider us, please get in touch via message on here.&nbsp;
Thank you for reading.
Olivia &amp; Ryan&nbsp;


Hello there fury baby's parent :)&nbsp;
My name is Sami and I'm 37 years old. I have a huge love for animals since I was a little boy. My love grew hugely for cats after I rescued my 2 baby's eddy who is a ginger boy and Layla who is a little tabby. I absolutely love cats so much. it's my dream to open up a cat cafe one day and foster and rescue as many kitties as I possibly can. I have volunteered in many cat shelters around the world and also regualrly at the australian animal proterction society. I love cats so much I could almost cry when I see one 
I offer home visits as many as needed per day and I can surely spend time with your little one for some human interaction and game playing and of course cuddles if they want to. I'm quite experienced with anxious cats as my little Layla suffers from anxiety and I can be extremely gentle with any scared cat. I'm happy to groom, nail cuts, medication, litter cleans and vet visits if needed. I'm a really caring gentle person and I will look after your precious kitties as they are my own. I work in st kilda and live in Malvern east. I don't mind driving anywhere close by. Im really looking faward to meeting you soon.&nbsp;

Kind regards&nbsp;
Sami :)&nbsp;
