IMPORTANT: DUE TO EVERYONE GOING AWAY BETWEEN DEC 21-JAN 22 - I'LL ONLY BE TAKING BOOKING IN THORNBURY, (possibly Preston & Northcote). This is so I can help out more clients in need, locally.
Hi and thank you for visiting my Pawshake profile. I have lived happily with the companionship of furry friends all my life. They make me happy and they are my happy pill. No one else loves you the way they do. My best friend is my Silky Terrier Waldo born April'18 and he has brought me so much happiness.
I am an experienced house-sitter and animal sitter. Over the last 10 years have had repeated clients (my friends) ask me to look after and trusted me with their 2 beloved cats (Scoffee & Blanc ... RIP this year) in their home, 2 dogs (Apache the Dalmatian & Romeo the Maltese ... RIP also this year) also in their home, 1 very active and playful Jack Russell (Dolly). There has also been brother Jack Russells (Charlie & Louie). And recently my cousins pup 6 month old, Seamus, for 4 days who I treated like my baby.
Here are a few references to make you feel at ease :-
"Vittoria is a very friendly, outgoing and caring person, who gets on well with people as she does with pets. We have a two year old Jack Russell, Dolly who loves Vittoria to bits. Vittoria is playful, fun but also very careful with Dolly. I have also seen her look after other people’s dogs and she is again very vigilant, playful and responsible with them. In addition Vittoria has looked after my home when I’ve been away and she is a great housekeeper! She is very clean, tidy and meticulous. I highly recommend her to look after and care for pets as well as ensuring your home is as you left it. No hesitation in recommending Vittoria and happy to talk to anyone who needs further information - CheersNancy"
"Vittoria is a fantastic house sitter and pet minder. She has looked after our pets for the past few years and they love her very much, she also takes great personal care of our home.It’s usually cleaner than when we left it, a lovely welcome home present. She comes highly recommended, by us and our spoodle Seamus ! - Rebecca"
"We have three dogs and one cat and often travel for extended periods of time to see our families overseas. On numerous occasions Vittoria has stayed at the house and looked after the animals. We have always come home to a clean and tidy house (often with meals in the freezer cooked by Vittoria) and the animals have always looked fit and happy. We would be very happy to recommend Vittoria for similar house / animal sitting responsibilities - Steve"
I am a very reliable, happy, kind, caring person, with a heart of gold. Having no children makes me all the more loving with pets as they are like my children. I will never hit an animal or harm them.
If you have any further questions, big or small, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm more than happy to put your mind at ease and work around your needs if I can.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.

Vittoria is a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter who took great care of our cat Mabel. We really appreciated the photos and updates. Thanks so much Vittoria 😊
Vittoria did a wonderful job of looking after our cat, chickens and plants while we spent a week away. We were provided with daily updates and I was completely at ease knowing our pets were being well looked after. I can highly recommend Vittoria's service!
Currently working in a casual job - my hours usually are Mon to Fri 4-8pm and Saturday/Sundays 9-5pm
I will be able to offer my services outside these times and am flexible so if you aren't sure, just ask me.
I will guarantee that your pet will not feel lonely while I'm with them. I will cuddle them, love them, play with them and brush their hair too. If it's hot I will give them a sprinkler shower with the hose, if they love that, and accommodate them like my own.
I prefer Small to Medium dogs due not being strong to control the larger dogs, however, if you don't require me to walk them, I am happy to include larger dogs in my list. No AGRESSIVE dogs Please :-(
I live in Thornbury so happy to look after pets within 3 kilometres from my home, which include surrounding areas around Coburg, Brunswick, Preston, Fairfield and Northcote.
