"Jia was an incredible cat sitter! She was so sweet, communicative and took the absolute best care of my cat. She sent me so many great videos and pictures so it felt like I wasn't gone at all. I can very happily and highly recommend Jia if you are looking for a reliable and caring friend to look after your pets 😇"

"Sarah was an absolutely amazing pet sitter for my cat, Sirius. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely cared about animals. She sent me tons of photos and updates throughout the stay, which really helped ease my mind while I was away. Sirius looked so happy and well cared for in every picture—it was clear he was in great hands. I came home to a calm, content kitty, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive sitter!"

"Jessica is truly a gem! She took care of our two cats, Brick and Xander, while we were away for two weeks, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, Jessica was incredibly reliable, responsible, and communicative—qualities that gave us total peace of mind.
It was clear right away that she has a natural way with animals. Xander can be a little shy around new people, but he warmed up to her almost immediately, which says a lot! Brick, our more affectionate cat, absolutely adored her too. Jessica kept us updated with messages and adorable photos, and we could tell the cats were happy and comfortable in her care.
We came home to two relaxed, well-loved kitties and a perfectly tidy home. Jessica went above and beyond, and we feel so lucky to have found someone so trustworthy and kind. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care for their pets. Brick and Xander are already looking forward to her next visit!"

"Jacinta was absolutely wonderful. Jacinta was reliable, friendly and incredible with our cats. We were sent cute updates each day and it really put our mind at ease knowing our cats were cared for.
Our two cats are rescue cats and usually very timid and scared of strangers. They shy away and I honestly thought Jacinta would have to leave the food out for sprinkles because she would be too scared to eat in front of a new person. On the first day Jacinta sent me photos of sprinkles not hiding and on day 2 sprinkles was playing with her!!! I honestly could believe it, she has a real understanding for cats behaviours and we are so grateful to have Jacinta come and help us.
Can’t recommend enough 🙏"

"Capucine & Declan are incredible pet sitters!
They go above and beyond. They took care of all 3 of our animals while overseas, 2 visits a day and dog walking: sent me photos every visit updating me on each of the animals. Cleaned the areas each animal uses and maintained the cleanliness of the entire house. We extended our holiday and kept them on without any worry or concern for our animals.
This couple is a dynamic duo, reliable, honest, kind & a true power pet sitting force. Will use this duo every time we go away or for extra walks when needed. You won’t regret using this duo!! "

"Yi is a thoughtful and considerate pet carer. She provided daily photos and video updates of my cat. In these daily updates, Yi communicated what she had provided our cat and this provided us the opportunity to communicate back if needed. She identified that my cat needed to be groomed and added this into her daily visit. On return to our house our cat looked in very good condition, was happy and relaxed, which is what we had hoped. I would recommend Yi to any pet sit. I will definitely book Yi again in the future to care for my cat."

"Christian was absolutely amazing as a pet sitter for my cat! Not only did he provide daily updates and photos that made me feel so at ease, but he also went the extra mile by giving me adorable Polaroids of my cat—such a thoughtful touch! His care, attention to detail, and clear love for animals were evident throughout. I felt completely comfortable knowing my fur baby was in such good hands. Highly recommend Christian to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!"

"You won't be disappointed by having Fan as your pet sitter. He communicates promptly, is punctual and reliable and has a natural, kind and generous way with animals. My two moggies were so relaxed and happy when I got back from my trip away - they had obviously been very well cared for. And Fans photos of our pets were so personal that I felt like I was there with them. Happy to give 5 stars for Fan in every category. "

"This was the second time Gerardine has looked after my cat while I'm away and I couldn't be happier with her as a sitter.
She sent updates every day with not only messages but multiple pictures. I am a worrier when I go away but her passion for animals and care for my cat shone though - I have never felt more comfortable leaving my cat in someone else's care.
If you're looking for a wonderful, attentive pet sitter look no further."

She had daily visits for 10 days with our cat, and not only was she genuinely caring for our pet, but also took great care of our home as well. Laura even watered our plants for us and she sent photos and videos daily. We could not be happier. Thanks Laura."

"Ghawady was absolutely amazing, I can’t recommend her enough. This was my first time hiring a pet sitter and I was a bit nervous initially, but the second I met Ghawady I felt so comfortable and knew she was the right person to take care of my cats. She sent me the most beautiful photos and updates on my cats everyday, my cats absolutely adored her (even my standoffish cat loved cuddling with her), and honestly I just can’t recommend her enough ☺️"

/dayFrequently asked questions about pet sitting
Your pet sitting questions answered
Is Pawshake like a pet hotel?
No: unlike a pet hotel, your furry friend will never stay in a cage, or even leave home if this doesn't suit you. Pet sitting can either be in a safe home environment, or in your own home. It's very personalised to suit you and your pet.
Who can be a pet sitter?
We have hundreds of applicants to join Pawshake every week, but we accept less than 25% of these. Anyone who joins our website must have practical pet care experience and a motivation to be able to provide excellent service. They must be also be verified by SMS, email and location.
What do I get when I book a pet sitter?
When you book a pet sitter through Pawshake, you are getting a personalised carer who can meet your needs. Is your pet a bit shy? Then book a sitter who can stay in your home or pop by to visit. Does your pet love company? Then arrange for your pet to have a fun staycation in a sitter's family home.
Can I find your pet sitters in Melbourne?
Absolutely. Our pet sitters are found in every Melbourne suburb and are ready and eager to help you and your pet. Just head to our website: you won't need to look far from home to find your pet's perfect match.
