Top cities for cat sitting in Australia

Many cat owners will understand that cats can be fussy and prefer their own home environment rather than an unfamiliar place like a cattery or cat hotel. Although some cats can adapt to cat boarding if they have to, most cats become stressed when transported somewhere new.

This is where a friendly Adelaide SA Pawshake cat feeder or carer can help. Our Adelaide SA cat sitting expert can come and visit your cat while you are away on holiday or at work. A cat sitter can even stay overnight if required, which is far less stressful than sending your feline friend to a cattery for cat boarding. Whether you just need a sitter for a couple of hours or someone to visit each day for a week, our Adelaide SA cat sitters can tailor their service to suit you and please even the fussiest kitty.

Although most cats are independent, having a cat carer visit has a lot of benefits. Your chosen Pawshake cat sitter can feed, freshen up the water bowl, tidy the litter tray, and spend quality time with your cat. And unlike a cattery or cat hotel, your cat can chill out in their own familiar space.

Finally, every booking with Pawshake is with a verified carer and includes the Pawshake Guarantee and veterinary coverage, so you have nothing to worry about when it comes to your feline companion!

Hello, everyone! My friends call me Cady. I am 32 years old and I have just arrived in Australia.&nbsp;
Currently living in Adelaide since middle of January and I would love to work in contact with animals, whether it is taking care of them in their homes, go for a walk, playing with them, etc.
I am full available and flexible with the working hours so I can spend as much as you need with your pets, including overnight sitter. Also I have my own car and I could go to your home, pick up your pet and give it a ride or a walk in some park or place you recommend me :)
Usually I make one hour walks with dogs and I could do it with 2 dogs at once if it's necessary.
Sadly I can't have pets at my home since is not allowed in the apartamet :(
Animals are friends to me, not just pets. They are companions and we have much to learn from the purity of their love.
I would like to be able to adopt an animal but I can't since I have been moving in a lot the last years around diferent countries, which makes it impossible for me :(  But I really miss the contact with them, the caresses, their antics and the warmth they give.
Unfortunally I don't have any reviews on my profile because it's the first time I'm using this app in Australia, but I have experience, both having my own pets and caring/passing others. I gain their trust quickly 
I can follow all the recommendations or requirements that you tell me for the care of your pet.&nbsp;
Happy to spread my love 


&nbsp;I have a genuine interest in the dog sitter or dog walking task. As a passionate animal lover with extensive experience caring for dogs, I am excited about the opportunity to provide compassionate and responsible care of your beloved pets.
Throughout my life, dogs have held a special place in my heart, and I have always found joy in building meaningful connections with them. My experience includes 12 years with my own dog and three female dogs that my partner and I adopted in January 2023, and dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, volunteered in a shelter called Catdog El Salvador as well.&nbsp;
As a dog sitter, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the dogs under my care. I am committed to providing personalized attention, ensuring that each dog receives the love, exercise, and mental stimulation they need to thrive. Whether it's going for walks in the park, playing games, or simply providing companionship, I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where dogs feel comfortable and secure.&nbsp;
My services include:
Dog walking&nbsp;
House visiting&nbsp;
Pet sitting&nbsp;


Hi! My name is Mia I'm 23 years old and I'm an animal lover! From young living in the country we had dogs, cats, bunnies and even chickens! I'm now living in Adelaide and being in a rental I'm not able to have the luxury of owning my own pet. 
I have done many home stays for pet sittings and it's fun to spend time with them so they don't feel alone! I'm honest and trust worthy and will do nothing but the best to make sure your dog or cat is happy and comfortable.
What I offer is home stays and walks! I'm not able to offer to look after them at my house as being in a rental pets are forbidden. I'm always happy to come and meet you are your fur baby before hand to make sure you are happy and comfortable for me to pet sit for you and then your fur baby likes me also! ￼
so I would love to be able to help you out with pet sitting and walks! 

Hi! I'm Carlotta, I’m coming from Italy and I am here in Adelaide as an exchange student for a semester. I study marketing and I’m in my last year of university. When I’m not studying, I have plenty of free time and I really like dogs and walks - unfortunately my dog is in Italy - so why not taking care of somebody else’s dog or cat?!&nbsp;&nbsp;
I can help you manage your time and take care of your pet(s) while spending some valuable time with a furry friend. As I mentioned, I have a dog – Rocco – back in Italy, he is a mix between an Australian shepherd and a Border collie. I am pretty familiar with dogs and I know how to handle them, groom them and even administer medicine. But I’m not forgetting cats, I used to have one few years ago and I often take care of them for my friends when they are away.&nbsp;&nbsp;
I pay maximum respect to your animals and I’m very responsible, in fact I will be happy to organize a meetand greet with your pet before taking care of them, just to get to know each other. I’m pretty fluent with English so langue barriers won’t be a problem. Since I live in a rented apartment, I cannot take dogs to my house butI will be more than happy to offer the following services:&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dog walks: long or short (tell me where your dog likes to go and I’ll bring him/her there!)&nbsp;
Home visits: once or twice a day I can come to your house to check that everything is ok andgive your pet(s) food. I can water plants if needed!&nbsp;&nbsp;
Pick up/drop off your pet at day care or other places (not too far because I don’t have a car)&nbsp;

I am available almost all days, especially during weekdays, check my calendar to see current slots.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Hope to meet your furry friends soon 

hello! I'm Micaela, I really love animals. Currently living in Henley Beach , I have flexible working hours so I have a lot of availability.
I joined pet shake because I really enjoy being with dogs and cats, and currently the conditions do not allow me to have my own. So I have a lot of love to give them, and it's a good way to take daily walks. I'm happy to visit your pets if you need that, play with them and customize the visits according to their personality.
In addition to the usual tasks such as cleaning their spaces, changing their water and feeding them, I am happy to do additional tasks such as collecting the mail, taking out the bins and watering the plants.
I have experience taking care of pets, walking dogs and cats, basic behavior training and I quickly build relationships with they. 
I know that it can be stressful and worrying to leave your pet with someone, but I would make sure to constantly send photos/videos of your pet to show that they are being treated correctly. 
do not hesitate to ask or request what you need! and thank you for your time 

I am a Mum of two beautiful girls 11 and 9, I also am Mum to a 4 year old stag hound Cross Bull arab, and a one year old Staffy X Bull Arab. We spend alot of our days at the dog park. Ive had dogs my whole life, I actually believe if you dont like dogs are you even a good person? Yes I know that's mean but seriously who doesn't love a dog, the puppy eyes, the excitement, the cheeky personalities and attitudes plus all that smooching and loving &nbsp;
I have two cats, one hates the world, one just uses me for food. I love them both as much as they love me, which some days isn't alot but some days I could just squish them with my love. Also grew up with Cats since childhood, had so many and at one time we had four .
Same as my kids  ^ ^ . Love to hate me, hate to love me. They also adore animals, often far too much, sharing food, love and licks with them 
I work in the Disability sector and look after two beautiful pooches for my Participants, walking them for 1 hour and another for two hours on each of my shifts, they love me, of course I'm the lady who walks them but I revel in their excitement to see me 
I've been doing Disability care for 3 years almost and have a lovely bond for all my Pooches.&nbsp;
I am consistent,  trustworthy and always arrive when I say I will.&nbsp;
My work ethic is based on Manners, respect, time management and most of all caring and loving the work I do whether it's personal care, cleaning up or walking a dog.&nbsp;
Dogs are something I've always wanted to work with and now I get this plus I get to help those who trust me to be their support. I love this part of my daily life.&nbsp;
I am happy to take Dogs for walks for 1 hour and will take them local to your area for walking, local ovals for ball throwing. If you prefer beach or other area then this can be discussed.&nbsp;
I am happy to pop in and feed your pooch or feline and also spend a bit of time with them, we can watch a movie or chill in the yard for a while. I can feed them for you and also will clean up any messes.&nbsp;
I cannot offer in home care as I have two dogs, and two cats and you can never tell if personalities will clash. I also cannot offer any long term overnight care due to family commitments and my other work as a carer.&nbsp;

Hello! My name is Sharon and I am a qualified veterinary nurse. I have recently returned to Adelaide after living and working in London. I am originally from South Australia. I have been doing pet sitting in people's homes for about 7 years. These pets have been mostly cats but I have also looked after dogs, guinea pigs, gerbils, mice, rats, rabbits, birds and fish. I grew up with dogs and cats. I have always been interested in animals and loved their company. They are so unconditionally loving, have a joy for life and really know how to live in the moment. I enjoy making sure that they are safe, comfy and have everything they need. It is lovely to get to know each animal's individual personality and then interact with them accordingly.I like to do pet sitting as it allows me time with animals outside of my job and I also get to see different parts of the city. Due to my living circumstances I haven't been able to have my own pets for some time so working with them and pet sitting them gives me that interaction. I know it is a huge thing to trust somebody to look after your precious pet(s) and to allow someone to be in your home, so I take the responsibility very seriously and appreciate the trust given to me.Just for your information, I'm fully Covid 19 vaccinated.

Hi, I'm Vale!&nbsp; ️

I'm a person who deeply loves all animals. I admire and respect every form of life. I have experience in animal care for more than 5 years, in my country.

I am a biologist graduated 3 years ago, I have experience in care and management of wildlife.🪲&nbsp; I have worked with different animal rescue foundations in my country and helped dogs which have been surrended by their owners.

Moreover,&nbsp; I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and also with cats and other animals, I really love sharing time with animals, and doing differents activities like walking and taking care of them. In fact, back in my country I used to look after family's and other people's pets and I even have my doggy Dobby (a Doberman).‍🦮‍🦺
As a pet sitter, I offer a range of services to meet the needs of pet owners. My dog walking service includes picking up the owner’s dog from their home for a 30-minute walk, providing exercise and companionship. I also offer one home visit per day, where I stop by to feed and play with the pet, ensuring they receive the care and attention they need. For those who need more frequent visits, I provide a 2x home visit option with two drop-in visits per day. Additionally, I offer house sitting services, where I stay overnight in the owner’s home to care for their pet, providing peace of mind while they are away. 

I think I have a very good connection with animals, I love them and they love me️
I'd be really greatful if I could look after your furry babies. ️

Hi there! I'm 21 years old and currently studying Computer Science in the University of Adelaide. 
I've been living here for almost 3 years now and have always loved watching pet owners spending time with their dogs, cats, etc :). As I am still studying, it would be great if I can earn to support myself as well as doing something I find joy in while being able to gain experience in the workforce.
My services include walking your dog, and house visits once or twice a day!
I have had past experiences in taking care of pet fishes and spending time with my friends' dogs, and I would love to help out pet owners in any way I can to provide love and care for their pets, plus ensuring their safety and comfort!
I'm also always willing to learn and apply the best ways you'd like me to care for your pets, as I believe you'll know the best for them. Feel free to ask me any questions!
Thank you!

I am a single, 39 yo French Australian entrepreneur, travelling Australia and parts of SE Asia, living for adventure and new connections. I am currently basing myself in Adelaide, my home town, where I completed my secondary and tertiary education, graduating with a Bachelor in Medical Science. I spent 10 years employed across many academic fields at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and Flinders University. Currently, I am the owner of a 6 year small business, creating jewellery, which I do from home.I have recently joined the house sitting community, and have been extremely humbled with each experience thus far. I have run two very successful AirBnbs in both Henley Beach and Willunga SA. I attained super host status, with the majority of my reviews being 5 stars, receiving very lovely feedback, so I am more than happy to provide you with these listings so that you may use them as my references. Additionally to this, I can also provide my AirBnb references as a guest, with a decade of excellent reviews. I have included some examples in my photos. References from previous house sits are also absolutely available for your cosideration and peace of mind. I am looking for opportunities to help others, to meet new people, and provide peace of mind, trust and security while I am caring for pets and homes. I am meticulously tidy, clean, and I will care for your home as though it were my own, and I always leave a place in excellent condition! All pets take to me very fast, establishing bonds and trust in no time. I am also great in the garden, having worked on an entire block in Willunga transforming the whole space, adding in garden beds and vegetables.I am very open, and I value direct and prompt communication. I do not smoke, I do not party, and am in bed quite early! I enjoy reading, creating, cooking, nights in with a movie, cuddling with cats, nature walks, an occasional wine and exploring the countryside.I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to house sit for you, I am flexible with dates and location. I have my mown car and my full license. I am very honest and assure you that I will treat your home with the utmost respect. I do hope to hear from you!
