When you have to go away or work long hours, you may worry about leaving your pet home alone. Have you ever wondered “Is there a pet or dog sitter in Parkdale VIC that can help?”.

Luckily, with Pawshake, you can easily find local and trusted pet and dog carers from Parkdale VIC to provide drop in visits and other services. This means a pet sitter will come and visit your pet at a time you both agree on and provide lots of love and personal attention. This can include playtime in the backyard, a walk to the local park, or just some cuddle time. Our pet carers can also administer medication, give food, and refresh the water bowl.

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 Parkdale 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 Parkdale VIC. 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 Parkdale VIC.

Hello,
My name is Karen and I’m an active woman in my 60s with a lifelong love of animals and a calm, dependable approach to pet care. I have had a variety of gorgeous pets throughout the years and therefore truly understand how important it is that pets feel safe, settled and well looked after. I will be sure to stay in communication with regular updates as desired so that you can have the peace of mind you deserve while away, that your loved ones are being loved in return. 
I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, medication if required, walks, playtime and companionship.
I am best suited to well-trained, non-reactive dogs who walk comfortably on a lead.
I offer overnight care for both cats and dogs and am equally comfortable with affectionate pets or more independent personalities. Your pet will be treated with kindness, patience and genuine care at all times.
References are available on request. 
Thank you for considering me to care for your precious fur children. 

Hi, my name is Evie!

I offer reliable dog walking with a very personal, hands-on approach, because I truly believe great walks are about more than just exercise. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, energy level, and little quirks before we ever head out. Some dogs love an upbeat, purposeful walk, while others are happier taking things slow, stopping to sniff and soak up their surroundings—and I adjust every walk to suit them.
I’m especially mindful with nervous or reactive dogs, keeping walks calm and predictable so they feel safe and supported. For confident, energetic dogs, I provide structured walks that let them burn energy while staying focused and well-mannered.
Living locally in Cheltenham, I enjoy walking dogs around nearby streets, green spaces, and local dog parks they know and love. My goal is always the same: a happy, relaxed dog and total peace of mind for you.

Hi, I’m Gab!
I’m a 40-year-old professional working for the Australian Federal Government, where I lead teams delivering strategic transformation and change projects.
Over the past year, I’ve been house and pet sitting across Melbourne and Victoria full-time, and I’ve completely fallen in love with the lifestyle. Spending time with animals is genuinely my favourite part of every sit — it’s the part I enjoy most and the reason I keep doing this.
I’ve cared for a wide range of animals, including dogs (from small companions to large and working breeds), cats (so many cats!!), chickens, rabbits, horses, birds — and even two llamas (a personal highlight!). I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I take the time to understand each animal’s routine, personality, and needs.
I’m an active and confident dog walker and genuinely enjoy long walks, so I’m very happy to support regular walks, energetic breeds, and dogs who need a bit more exercise. I’m also available for daytime house visits and check-ins. I usually work from home, which means I’m present and flexible throughout the day — I just need a small bench or table space to set up my laptop during longer visits.
I have a current police check and take great pride in being respectful, reliable, and trustworthy in other people’s homes. I understand the importance of privacy, security, and caring for a home as if it were my own, and I always aim to leave things just as they were left — if not better.
While I’m new to Pawshake and don’t yet have reviews on this platform, I’ve completed many short- and long-term house and pet sits through other platforms, as well as direct referrals. I’m very happy to provide strong references upon request.
I’m well suited to short-term and weekend sits, dog walking, and daytime house visits, and I’m always happy to chat and meet beforehand to make sure it’s the right fit for everyone.
Looking forward to meeting you and your pets!— Gab


I'm Rebekah, i'm 32, and have just moved over to Australia. 
I take any chance to be around animals and would love to look after your furry friends!
I'm on a working holiday visa so wanted something flexible and any chance to spend time with animals I'm taking! My main work in the UK is as a dental hygienist, I'm a hard worker, responsible and am always reliable!
I dog sit all the time for at home in the UK when friends, family and clients  go away and I always keep their houses clean and and tidy whilst I'm there.  I understand that all pets have different needs, whether an active dog that needs plenty of walking, or a rat that needs a few hours of being socialable and cuddles, to an older pet that needs medication and just some good company!
It's mostly dogs and cats I've looked after (plus some rats and birds), and have had rabbits, horses and guinea pigs myself, but i'm good with any pet! I can't host ATM as i'm staying with other people that have dogd themselves, but all other services i'm available for! I look forward to looking after your pets :)


I am a 19 year old from Beaumaris, I love animals and love working with animals! I'm trying to make some extra money on the side of my dog grooming. I completed a dog grooming course in March 2025 and been working at a dog groomer since October 2023.&nbsp;I also completed a tafe course, animal care cert II in 2023!
I work Monday-Friday, depending on how many dogs are in on the day I will finish earlier than 3:30pm, but usually my hours look like 8am-3:30pm. ￼
I don't take other animals to my ￼house because I don't want to stress my animals out!&nbsp;
My dog's names are Boo￼ and Coki, Boo is my old boy, he is 11 but looks like a puppy and gets mistaken as a girl a lot and Coki is 9, she is a very sweet girl.&nbsp;
I have a cat too, her name is Bobbi she is only 1!&nbsp;
I will play with your animals, feed them, take them on walks and take lots of cute pics!

I grew up having dogs my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m experienced in feeding, walking, playing, and giving lots of attention, and I’m good at recognizing dogs’ signals and body language to understand what they need and how they’re feeling. I know how to respond calmly to different personalities, energy levels, and situations, whether a dog is shy, playful, anxious, or very active.

I take pride in providing consistent routines, including regular walks, meal schedules, and enrichment through play and mental stimulation. I also understand the importance of patience, positive reinforcement, and clear boundaries when caring for dogs. Safety is always a top priority for me, and I’m attentive to details such as leash handling, home security, and following any specific instructions from owners.

I’m reliable, responsible, and respectful of both pets and their homes. I communicate clearly with owners, provide updates when needed, and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.

I am a forever animal lover who has grown up surrounded by animals and would be delighted to care for your pets as if they were my own! Becoming a pet sitter feels like a natural way for me to combine my love for animals and wanting to help people out. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs of my own, so trust me when I say I am experienced with both the cuddles and the chaos!
I am patient, gentle, and attentive, and I always pay close attention to each pet’s unique personality and needs. My primary services would be dogwalking and pet visits, however I am open to housesitting and dogsitting if I have previous experience with your pets.
For the safety of all animals in my care, I will only accept vaccinated pets into my home. This helps ensure a healthy and stress-free environment for everyone.
I would be thrilled if you consider me as a new buddy for your little fuzzy friends! :)


I have grown up around animals my whole life, including two dogs, many bunnies and two birds and many fish, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my everyday routine. Being around animals brings me genuine happiness, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, whether they are energetic and playful or quiet and gentle.
My motivation to offer dog walking and home visit services comes from wanting to help pets stay comfortable in their own environment while still receiving the attention, exercise, and care they need. I try to live an active life going to the gym 6 days a week. I understand that busy schedules or time away from home can make it difficult to always be there for your pet, and I aim to provide peace of mind by being someone you can trust.
Through caring for my own pets, I have experience with feeding routines, cleaning, basic grooming, administering simple care needs, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed. During walks, I focus on safety, positive interaction, and giving dogs the exercise and stimulation they need. For home visits, I make sure pets are well cared for, their space is tidy, and they receive plenty of attention and affection.
I am responsible, gentle, and reliable, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet.

Hi my name is Shannon I have just moved to Australia 4 weeks ago from Ireland. I am 28 years old and currently living in Mentone. 
 Friendly &amp; Trustworthy
I’m a reliable and caring dog walker and sitter who truly loves animals. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and routine, and I make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight sitting, I treat every dog as if they were my own. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority.
 Professional &amp; Reassuring
I offer dependable dog walking and pet sitting services, providing attentive and compassionate care while you’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and experienced with dogs of different sizes and temperaments. I follow instructions carefully, maintain routines, and ensure your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in safe and loving hands.
I have over 25+ years experience with dogs back home with growing up with them my whole life. I will also provide regular updates photos keep you connected if your interested please feel free to send me a message 

Hi everyone ! My names Nik, and I love going on adventures with my big boy Basil. 
After taking guardianship of a 5 year old in tact male German Shepherd for over a year now, I've learnt a lot about behaviour management, safe and responsible handling, and giving my dog the best possible chance at succeeding in our training. They say owning a German shepherd will turn you into a dog trainer, and that's not too far from the truth.&nbsp;
My motivation to sign up to this service is to be able to help other dogs become comfortable in all environments. 
DOG WALKING SERVICE ( read before booking ) : 
This is not a half hour service - and the last place I will be taking your dog to is the dog park. We will be going on nature walks, to the beach, to bunnings and the shops, we will learn how to be calm at the cafe. For this reason my service will be a 1-2 hour commitment. It will be early in the morning (starting at 7am most times). The whole purpose of this experience is to help build confidence in your dog through exercise and exposure to new experiences. This is MOST beneficial for dogs under 15 months old, but also great for all.   
The biggest take away that I have had for this last year, is that consistency and time will naturally create the greatest outcomes. To celebrate the small wins when they happen, and to remain emotionally neutral in the stressful times.  I'm not a dog trainer - but I love learning and improving and I'm fortunate enough to have a dog who is very well behaved with smaller breeds - I can't tell you how many times I've had owners say "my dog usually doesn't like German shepherds, I've never seen him this fine with them". 
if you have a small to medium sized dog and you'd like them to actually get something out of their walks, please reach out :)&nbsp;

VACCINATIONS - its totally up to you what you want to do with your dogs health. The only thing I need to see infront of me when I come for pickup, is a healthy happy Dog. 
I wont be offering house stays at this time - but stay tuned that might change!&nbsp;
