Pet sitting in Melbourne

Why pet sitting ?

At Pawshake, we understand that most pet parents work full time or very long hours which can make it easy to feel guilty about leaving your pets alone for long periods of time. We also know that in a multi-cultural and vibrant city like Melbourne there are many people who have diverse and flexible lifestyles who love pets but may not be able to own one or may have some extra love to share. So through Pawshake we aim to connect these two groups of people in Melbourne together - animal lovers with owners who require pet sitting services.

All Pawshake sitters who offer pet sitting go through a detailed registration process and each profile is checked one by one to ensure that only the most reliable and trustworthy sitters in Melbourne make it. Other pet parents are encouraged to write reviews of their experiences so you can also read through all their reviews before you book your Pawshake pet sitting services. Every pet sitting booking comes standard with our premium pet insurance and backed by our 24 hour customer support team so you can relax knowing that you and your pet will be well looked after by one of our trusted Melbourne sitters.

Our sitter’s diverse and multi-cultural backgrounds mean that they have a wide range of experiences to suit any pet sitting request. Some of our Pawshake sitters are vets in training, professional dog walkers, volunteers with the Victorian Dog Rescue and The Lost Dogs’ Home, teachers and more. And they have one thing in common, they love pets and want to spend more time with them through pet sitting.

Maybe you have multiple pets in the household, some unusual pets, or a dog or a cat that is a little shy or gets nervous about being away from home. A pet sitting booking is perfect for that. Let one of our experienced Pawshake sitters visit and care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. That is the biggest benefit to booking a pet sitting service. Unlike crowded and noisy kennels, your pet gets to rest and relax in their own home environment and their days are more interesting when a pet sitter shows up to visit them – think of it like ordering room service!

Because pet sitting is a specialised service, your pet sitter can cater their time to suit your pet. If your pet prefers to be left alone, but wants some food put out and the water bowl changed, no problem. If your pet is more of a social butterfly and wants to get all the attention, ear scratches, belly rubs and cuddles, that’s not a problem either! Or maybe what your pet really wants is to go outside, get some fresh air and wander the streets of your Melbourne neighbourhood – a pet sitting booking can encompass all of that.

You can also choose the time of day your pet sitter visits and determine with your chosen Pawshake sitter how long the pet sitting booking will last. So, as you can see, our experienced pet sitters are flexible and can adjust with each pet sitting booking they do.
