dogSitting

Being active has always been a big part of my life, whether it’s through sports or staying outdoors. I love channeling that energy into dog sitting, as it allows me to combine my passion for animals with my active lifestyle. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing in the park, or just keeping up with an energetic dog, I enjoy every minute of it. For me, dog sitting is the perfect way to stay on my feet while doing something I love—caring for dogs and ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve.
Caring for dogs gives me a sense of joy and fulfillment, knowing I can provide them with the attention, love, and companionship they need when their owners are away. I thrive on building trust with each dog I care for, getting to know their unique personalities, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. My motivation comes from wanting to make a positive impact in the lives of both pets and their owners, providing peace of mind that their furry companions are in good hands. Being a dog sitter allows me to combine my love for animals with the joy of caring for them, making it a truly rewarding experience.

Hi, I'm Alice, a qualified veterinarian from the UK! 
It's hard finding a loving and trustworthy dog walker and pet sitter. I hope my page gives you an insight as to my experience and personality and if I sound like a good match, I would love to help care for your furry children!
At home in the UK, I have a cat, Millie, 4 chickens and a Westie called Gwyliam. I miss them all very much and my weekend walks with my friends and family members' dogs (a lot of labradors!). I would love it if I could care for your gorgeous animals and get in all those cuddles I've been missing.
As a veterinarian, I am trained in cat and dog handling and therefore I'm very confident with animals of all sizes, personalities and confidence levels. I also hold my Fear Free Certificate so I'm very happy to care for the slightly more anxious doggies ️&nbsp;
Before my veterinary career, I also worked at a kennels and cattery for a year. Here I was responsible for feeding and caring for the dogs and cats, as well as walking the dogs every day. This included blind and deaf dogs, who needed that extra support on their walks and some very large dog breeds!
I am more than happy to medicate your pets, during their visits or before/after their walks. I am also very happy to go off leash at the dog park if you are comfortable with this, as long as your doggy has good recall abilities. Please let me know of any fears or behavioural triggers your animal may suffer from so that I can be wary of any triggers we may face in our walks.
Overall, I have extensive animal experience, from farm animals to pets, and work with dogs and cats day in and day out. I would love to help care for some animals in a non-medical scenario on my days off!&nbsp;

Hey there! 

Thanks for clicking into my profile! I am a 26 year old from Malaysia who has been living in Melbourne for 6 years. Back home, I have always owned pets and I am a huge animal lover. Currently, I own a guinea pig at home and I'm very good at working with rodents! I always dreamed of coming to Australia and working with all sorts of animals, and I believe that this would be a great way to start!

From my earliest days surrounded by canine companions, I've cultivated an instinctive grasp of their needs, transforming me into a trustworthy pet sitter. Years of experience have honed my skills in interpreting their behavior, guaranteeing a level of care that goes above and beyond. 

This isn’t just about fulfilling their basic needs; it’s about establishing a bond that elevates the entire pet sitting experience. Your furry companions aren’t merely recipients of my care; they are treasured friends, and each interaction is infused with genuine love and an abundance of positive energy. 

Services:
• I offer up to two 1 hour dog walks a day. I live right next to South Yarra Station, which is perfect for dog walking along Yarra River, as well as Rockley Gardens, Fawkner Park and Como Park.
• I currently do not work, and so will be able to give 100% of my time to your pet. I am available all day.

Before your pup embarks on a joyful walk with me, here are some important details to ensure their well-being:
1. Health and Behavior Information:
•	Your dog’s health is my priority. Please share any allergies, medications, or specific behaviors your furry friend has. Understanding their needs helps me tailor each walk for maximum enjoyment.

2. Leash and Collar Requirements:
•	A secure leash and collar contribute to a safe and enjoyable walk. If your dog has specific preferences or requirements for equipment, please let me know in advance.

3. Safety Measures:
•	Safety first! I steer clear of busy streets and crowded areas during walks. If your dog has sensitivities or specific areas to avoid, please inform me beforehand for an stress-free experience.

4. Updates and Communication:
•	Stay connected with your pup’s adventures! Expect timely updates via text or email during and after walks. Have any special requests or concerns? Feel free to share, and I will accommodate! 

If there’s any queries, please feel free to contact me. Cheers! :)

As a passionate animal lover, I've always been driven by a deep desire to make a positive impact on the lives of furry friends and their owners. For me, being a pet sitter isn't just a job - it's a calling that stems from a genuine love and compassion for all creatures great and small. There's something truly special about building trust with a pet, earning their affection, and watching them thrive under my care.I'm motivated by the knowledge that I'm providing a vital service to pet owners, giving them peace of mind while they're away from their beloved companions. It's incredibly rewarding to see the relief in an owner's eyes when they know their pet is in good hands, and to receive updates from happy clients who can't stop raving about their pet's happiness and well-being.What sets me apart is my unwavering dedication to providing tailored care that meets each pet's unique needs and personality. I take the time to understand their quirks, habits, and routines, ensuring that they receive the love, attention, and exercise they deserve. Whether it's a rambunctious puppy, a senior cat, or anything in between, I'm committed to creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment that feels like a second home.Ultimately, my passion for pet sitting stems from the simple joy of being surrounded by animals and watching them flourish under my care. There's no greater reward than seeing the bond between pet and owner strengthened, and knowing that I've made a meaningful difference in their lives.

Hi! I'm Meg, a kiwi who has been living in Melbourne for almost 10 years now. I live with my partner who is a dog enthusiast just like me so your pup would be in good hands with us. 
I'm a very active dog loving person who would love to help out with dog sitting or dog walking! We currently dog sit for friends and thought we would expand our services. We live in Richmond right by multiple parks and also love going for morning/afternoon walks. 
We don't currently have a dog of our own so there would be no issue with having dogs that aren't particularly dog friendly. 
I am not currently working so am available most days for walks or to dog sit during the day/overnight.
Please reach out if I sound like a good match for you and your four legged friend! I am happy to come meet with you beforehand so you know your pooch is in safe hands! ️

We’re Hannah and Brad, a couple originally from the UK who have been living in Melbourne permanently for the last 8 years.&nbsp;
Having grown up with them, we both have a huge love for dogs / cats and whilst we’re yet to get our own, we’ve filled the void by caring for our friends’ pets over the past 4 years. These have ranged from pups to older dogs and we’ve provided support from house sits to daily dog walks. We’ve looked after a range of breeds including spaniels, groodles and bulldogs, as well as rescue dogs so are well equipped to easily adapt to different behaviours.&nbsp;
When we’re not looking after dogs, you can find us in the nearby dog park making friends with the locals! We’ve built strong friendships with neighbours through their furry friends and we’d love to widen our network.&nbsp;
We’re both professionals and are able to provide references from employers / owners on request. We split our time between the office and home, dividing our time so we can give 100% supervision to your pet as needed.
We like to be up early for walks and love exploring local areas and making sure dogs are socialising with others in the park. Our locals, Malvern Oval and Victoria Gardens are favourites of ours but we like to work with the owner to understand where their dog likes to walk, how long for and what their routines and behaviours are to make sure they're having the best time. We're happy to administer medication to pets as required and we'll also make sure to keep you updated with pictures and text updates whenever needed and give a lot of love to your pet.&nbsp;
We’re super excited to be part of Paw Shake and are open to a meet up with you and your pet beforehand.&nbsp;


Hi there! Nice to meet you! I am (and my friends would say) I'm a bubbly, conscientious &amp; kind person who loves animals big &amp; small.&nbsp;
I am looking for a home &amp; pets to take good care of from end-August. End date is flexible. While I usually reside in Sydney, I’m spending some time back in Melbourne where I once lived, working &amp; catching up with friends.
When I'm not working (I work from home 5 days a week), I'm either reading or exercising - nothing too out of the ordinary.
I've had pets all my life (cats &amp; dogs) &amp; it was only once I moved to Sydney a few years ago that I am without one. If it wasn't for my tiny apartment, I’d certainly have my own by now. In the meantime, I've been looking after animals my whole life &amp; treat them as though they are my own.
I'm looking for longer-term sit jobs i.e. more than 1 week.
I have experience with:&nbsp;

Senior dogs
Puppies
Senior cats
Kittens
Administering medication&nbsp;

In addition to basic asks (i.e. fresh water, access to toilet, meals), I offer the below as part of my Housesitting service:&nbsp;

Lots of love &amp; hugs
Cats - clean litter tray and spend time with the cat
Dogs - At least 1 hour of physical exercise (can be broken down as indoor/outdoor play, multiple walks or one long walk as per agreement with owners); pick up all dog poop in the backyard during the stay
Dog and cats have space to move around and explore. Not to be tied up or kept in a crate for long periods of time.
Small pets - Tidy cages and do a full clean if the booking is more than 4 days
Lots of photos of happy pets
Keeping in contact with you regarding any changes with the pet and if required, taking the pets to the vet when agreed to or in an emergency
Price includes the care of up to 3 pets

And for the house: 

General Housekeeping - collect mail, water plants, put out the bins on garbage day
House/apartment locked up and secure after the booking
Empty out rubbish, dirty dishes washed and put away, appliances in working order, bathroom and floors clean - to the same condition it was when I arrived
I will be the only person at the house at all times unless otherwise agreed with you
Any keys must be returned at the end of the booking as instructed by you



We've lived in homes and apartments, by beaches and the bush. We've been to emergencies and had those sad goodbyes days too. 
Most of all we walk, we play, we talk, we train, and sleep in the sun. 
Currently we have a mini-Aussie shepherd who is very smart, gentle and loves a run. If you need someone to care for your dog - not at your home then this is a consideration. 
Pending on your dog he may walk with us - Pack walking is great calm confidence practice. 
I leave a calm life and enjoy walking and the joy of dogs. Am doing dog sitting and dog walking in the local area - where I know all the parks, safe streets and neighbourhood vets. 
Having had strong and strong minded working dogs I find patience and connecting with the dog's personality is important for their wellbeing and sense of safety. 

Can do; 

  Home visits to feed and play 20 min - 2hrs
  Home visits to pick up and walk 
  Walks - 20min 40min 60 min


&nbsp;Ciao! Mi chiamo Chiara, ho 23 anni e sono appena rientrata dall’Australia, dove ho vissuto per quasi due anni. Fin da bambina ho sempre avuto una passione per gli animali e ho avuto la fortuna di crescere con loro in famiglia. La mia cagnolina d'infanzia (Nina), che purtroppo da tre anni e' volata via, mi ha insegnato il vero significato dell'amore incondizionato che solo loro riescono a dare. Grazie a lei ho capito che nella mia vita non posso non avere animali di cui prendermi cura.  Attualmente ho due cani, entrambi adottati di recente, uno di taglia grande e uno di taglia piccola. In Australia, oltre al mio lavoro principale, facevo la pet sitter e mi sono presa cura di tantissimi cani e gatti, imparando a conoscerli e amarli ancora di più. Mi rendo disponibile per passeggiate, visite a domicilio, preparare i pasti, giocare con loro e pernottamenti a casa del padrone. Anche se non posso ospitarli a casa mia, sarò felice di dare loro tutte le attenzioni che meritano e a prendermi cura di loro come se fossero i miei!
