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

Hey there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with a serious soft spot for all things four-legged and furry. I’ve never lived a day without a dog by my side, they’re basically my favourite kind of people. 
I grew up surrounded by pups of every shape, size, and sass level, and these days I share life with two of the best: a hilarious red English Staffy and a majestic Scottish Deerhound (think Irish Wolfhound’s artsy cousin). So yes, I’m very comfy with both pocket rockets and gentle giants.
I’ve just relocated from Sydney to Melbourne to focus on my art career, and I’m now offering dog walking, sitting, and top-tier cuddles to help fund the dream. Your fur baby will be treated like one of my own: loved, understood, and totally spoiled (in a responsible way, promise). I’ve got that sixth sense when it comes to dogs - they tend to vibe with me instantly.
So if you need someone reliable, loving, and totally obsessed with making your dog feel at home, I’m your girl. Can’t wait to meet your pup!


I'm passionate about furry friends and have always loved spending time with them. My journey into pet sitting started with taking care of friends' and family members' pets, and eventually owning a French bulldog.I quickly realized how rewarding it is to ensure pets are happy, comfortable, and well-cared for when their owners are away. I understand that pets are not just animals; they are family members. That’s why I provide loving, attentive care, treating every pet as if they were my own.
Whether it’s taking your dog for a walk, playing with them, or ensuring your pet’s daily routine is followed, I’m committed to providing a stress-free experience for both you and your furry friend. I pay attention to detail, ensuring that pets get the exercise, food, and attention they need.
I love the bond that forms when caring for pets and seeing their excitement when they feel safe and loved. I look forward to making your pet feel comfortable and happy while you're away!Services I Offer:

Dog walking (30–60 minutes per walk)
Dog walking  (drop-in care and companionship)
Feeding and fresh water
Medication administration (oral/topical, if instructions are clear)
Light grooming (brushing, cleaning paws, etc.)I  understand how important companionship is for your furry friend, so I follow guidelines:
During daycare/boarding, your dog will never be left alone for more than 1 hour.
I spend most of the day with your pet, offering cuddles, playtime, walks, and structured downtime.

Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priority. If you have any special routines, instructions, or preferences — I’m all ears!Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon!



I’m Becky, a dedicated cat lover based in Melbourne CBD. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for cats, including helping friends look after their furry companions while they were away on holiday. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of cats—their unique quirks, preferences, and the special bond we can share with them.
Every cat has its personality and needs, and it’s always a joy to spend time with them, ensuring they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I can help by feeding your cat daily and making sure they always has fresh water. I’ll also clean and refresh the litter box regularly to keep their space clean and comfortable. Whether it’s active playtime with their favourite toys or quiet moments of companionship and cuddles, I’ll give your cat the attention and affection they deserve. If your cat requires medication, I’m happy to administer it according to your instructions.
I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule. Living in the CBD makes it easy for me to visit your home without any hassle. If you have any specific requests or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. I can’t wait to meet your feline friend and ensure they’re cared for while you’re away! &nbsp;


Hi! My name is Carlotta, I'm 25 years old and I'm from Italy. I've always loved animals. I have 3 dogs at home, in total in my whole life I have had 10 beautiful dogs.As a result, I have a lot of experience with them. In the last year I am also approaching the world of dog education. Having a Border Collie at home this little experience was easy.I have experience with different types of size and character of dogs, from the quietest to the most aggressive. I'm not scared of anything, with animals I have a lot of feeling.I also have experience with cats.I can administer oral medicines. I can take very long walks and many activities with the dogs that I will never get tired of!I decided to take this path as a dog sitter because I miss my dogs, being very far from home and I need to be with animals, otherwise I go crazy

I have always been passionate about animals. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or any other furry or feathered companions, I love taking care of them and giving them all the attention they need. This passion is what led me to become a pet sitter, a role I take very seriously.

I have several experiences in pet sitting: dog walking, home visits, providing care, and plenty of cuddles. I am patient, attentive, and very gentle with animals. I understand how important it is for pet owners to leave their beloved companions in safe hands, and I always make sure every animal feels at home, safe, and loved.

I also have a dog and a cat of my own, whom I absolutely adore and take great care of every single day. They are part of my family, and I dedicate a lot of time and love to them just like I will for your pets.

My name is Emma im 25 years of age. Im a registered general nurse and I have recently moved from Ireland to Australia 4 months ago. I have a massive love and interest in dogs ️
I have 3 of my own family dogs at home in Ireland and since moving here to Australia that is one aspect of home that I am missing massively. I walked my dogs every day as they are very energetic young dogs so 2 walks a day would have been the normal for them back home. When I was told about Pawshake I had to register and join as it would make my day spending some time walking and playing with dogs .
I would love the opportunity to walk dogs and have some company on my daily walks here in Melbourne. I am very flexible to walking whatever area would suit best and I am comfortable with any size/breed of dog. I would be happy to go for an hour long dog walk (or for longer or shorter) in your area of choice ️
I have Labrador, golden retriever and a cavachon back home in Ireland so I am comfortable and have experience walking multiple dogs at the same time also ️.

Hi! My name is Juliana, I'm 26 years old, and I live in South Melbourne, Melbourne, where I’m currently doing a student exchange program in digital marketing.
I love animals and have experience taking care of dogs and cats — including senior pets and those with special needs — for friends and clients while I was living in Brazil.
I offer dog walking (usually 30 minutes), home visits (spending around 30 minutes with your pet).
I’m available in the morning, afternoon, and evening, including weekends. During visits, I can also administer medication, water plants, and collect mail, if needed.
I’m careful, loving, and dedicated. I treat each pet with lots of love and attention, always respecting their routine and personality. My neighbourhood has parks and safe areas that are perfect for walks.
Feel free to get in touch — it will be a pleasure to take care of your pet! &nbsp;
