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 South Melbourne VIC that can help?”.

Luckily, with Pawshake, you can easily find local and trusted pet and dog carers from South Melbourne 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 South Melbourne 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 South Melbourne 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 South Melbourne VIC.

Hi! I’m Maria, a passionate animal lover with a genuine love for all pets, big and small. I’m from Cyprus, now living in Australia, and I speak both English and Greek.
I have 4 years of experience volunteering for a dog rescue in Cyprus and 2 year as a dog walker in Amsterdam. I also grew up with 3 cats and 1 Dog so I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs. I can walk your dog, big or small, and keep in contact with you regarding any updates. I’m happy to feed your pet as required, change their water with fresh, and even give basic medication if needed.
Whether you need pet sitting, dog walking, or home visits, I’m fully committed to providing the best care.&nbsp;
I’m immediately available, and I’ll respond quickly to your requests. I’d love to chat about what works best for your pet.&nbsp;
Looking forward to hearing from you and meeting your lovely pet soon!

I have a lifelong love for dogs and cats, having grown up surrounded by them in Malaysia and now for over a decade in Australia. At home, I cared for two poodles and a beloved Great Dane, who sadly passed away 2years ago. Additionally, I also casually assist my sister in her pet grooming and boarding business. 

My experience spans from small to large breeds. Here in Australia, I’ve assisted friends with pet sitting and house sitting while they’re away. I make sure to provide daily updates with photos, ensuring owners are kept informed about their pets’ well-being and routines.

With 8years in the childcare industry and now as a freelance digital marketer. I offer flexibility in scheduling.

I tailor my services to meet your needs, I can:
house sitting with care for both pets and plants(bonus )
visit during the day for feeding, cleanup, playtime, and walks ranging from 20 to 40 minutes
negotiate dog boarding based on your pet’s size

As a dog mom myself, I know firsthand the importance of trusting someone to care for your beloved pets while you’re away, and I strive to treat them with the same love and attention I give my own.

Let’s arrange a Meet &amp; Greet to discuss further details and how I can provide the best care for your fur babies 

Hi :) I'm Dabin Kim from Korea. And I'm 25 years old!
I'm so happy when the dogs smile after they walk and hang out. 
I have a lot of experience sitting pets :) And I have a dog. He is 12 years old! I have a lot of knowledge about dogs :)

Dog walking
I can go anywhere that I can walk with your dog if you want (ex. dog park, beach, shower •••). If there is an off leash park, I'm willing to go there! I'm going to run and hang out with your dog.
And during I'm walking with your dog, I'm going to send some photos! cuz I think you might wonder whether your dog is okay. I'm a good photographer. haha

*The price can be changed depends how long I walk with you dog :)

️Before I accept a booking, I need to know whether your dog has any special behavioural issues or any triggers when your dog walks.
I'm sure I can make your dog happy as well! Thank you

Hi! I’m a 24-year-old educator. I grew up on a farm in Germany surrounded by animals, especially dogs. My family had Border Collies and Jack Russells, so I’m very familiar with both energetic working breeds and lively small dogs. Caring for them from a young age taught me patience, confidence, and a deep understanding of dog behaviour.
I offer reliable and personalised dog walking and pet care. Each walk is tailored to your dog’s personality, energy level, and needs, as well as the area we can explore and your goals as an owner. For energetic dogs, I provide structured exercise like brisk walks, jogs, or fetch sessions to help burn off energy safely. For shy or sensitive dogs, I focus on calm, gentle walks and positive reinforcement to build confidence. I also include mental stimulation, socialisation when appropriate, and plenty of attention and affection.
Safety is always my top priority. I use secure leash handling, choose safe routes, and stay aware of my surroundings at all times. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs (max 2) if needed, and I adapt to any special care requirements, such as administering medication or following specific routines.
I love spending time with dogs because they bring joy, energy, and companionship into everyday life. Being able to care for them and help them thrive is incredibly rewarding for me. Every walk is individual, and I make sure your dog comes home happy, relaxed, and well cared for.
The Dog walking and pet sitting is more like a "Hobby" the a Job for me. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals:)
