"Ghawady went above and beyond to provide the best care for our two cats. She is far and away the most professional, conscientious, and communicative house sitter we have ever had. She sent beautiful photos that really captured both kitties personalities and was extremely attentive to their needs. We will absolutely be using her services at every possible future opportunity and cannot recommend her highly enough. "

"Overall, I was very pleased with Ailene’s pet-sitting service. Our cat was exceptionally well cared for, and it was evident that she received lots of love and attention while we were away. Ailene was highly responsive from the beginning and provided regular updates throughout our trip, which was incredibly reassuring! "

"Tannia supported us with a last minute request following another boarder letting us down. She came to see us and meet our two dogs and we could instantly tell she's a dog lover. She was a considerate house sitter and everything was clean and tidy following her stay. The dogs were super happy and we had loads of video and photo updates. We would not hesitate in booking Tannia again and in fact she's doing a longer house sit for us in a few weeks. "

"Paul was a great pet and house sitter, and we'd be happy to have him stay with our dogs again. I appreciated his communicative approach both before and during our time away, and even checking in on the dogs once we were settled home again. We returned from our trip to 3 happily fed and walked dogs, and a tidy and clean house. Overall we found Paul to be a conscientious, reliable and friendly pet sitter, and would recommend his services without hesitation! "

"Fran looked after my 3 cats and fish whilst we were away. Fran was friendly, kept the house clean and tidy, and provided great handover notes for when we returned. The cats and fish were happy and well cared for when we arrived home. Would highly recommend Fran for your next sit, she is mature minded, lovely natured, trustworthy and will take great care of your crew. Our minds were put at ease so we could enjoy our holiday without the worry of the welfare of our animals. "

"Absolutely nothing to fault. First time we’ve had a dog sitter so we were a bit apprehensive. Daniel is very obviously a good, genuine guy when you meet him though and we felt reassured immediately.
He was great with our dog, kept us updated with regular photos without us even needing to ask, was great at communicating in general, and was a very polite and considerate house guest to boot. Absolutely nothing to fault and would book again without any hesitation."

"Lynn took excellent care of our dear cat while also house sitting for us. She was very attentive, clean and tidy. She is excellent with communication and providing regular updates. Our cat loves Lynn and both times we have come back to a very happy, well cared for cat 😻 and tidy house. Lynn has pet sat and house sat for us twice now and we will happily request her service again. It’s a pleasure working with Lynn. Thank you Lynn and we will be in touch soon!"

/nightFrequently asked questions about house sitting
Your house sitting questions answered
Why should I book house sitting?
Your pet will miss you when you are away, and arranging a house sitter can minimise any further stress on your furry friend. There is no need for car trips or cages, and your pet's routine can be maintained. Plus, the sitter can keep your home secure and tidy for when you return.
Can I get a house sitter anywhere in Melbourne?
Yes: there are house sitters all over the city and surrounds, ready to help you whenever you need. Don't take our word for it: just have a look on our site to see hundreds of profiles. Have a browse, read real past reviews and, when you are ready, send a message to a few sitters who look promising.
Will house sitting suit my pet?
House sitting is a great option for most pets. Animals crave a sense of security, and this service allows them to stay in their own familiar space. Your pet will have their own bed to sleep in and their feeding routine maintained.
What should I expect to pay?
The sitters on Pawshake choose their own prices for the services they offer. As a guide, you can expect to pay about $35 a night. Depending on where in Melbourne your sitter is located, their calendar and their past experience, you might see some variation in price.
