Are you going away but have a pet that prefers to stay in their own environment? Or perhaps you have a range of different animals and it’s not practical for you to organise for them to stay in different places? Then you might want to consider finding a Pawshake house sitter to come and stay at your Mernda VIC home while you are away.

House sitting is a convenient and affordable option when you have multiple pets and also want your house to be securely looked after while you are away. Many of our pet sitters have very reasonable house sitting rates because they enjoy staying and exploring different local neighbourhoods like Mernda VIC.

At Pawshake, we understand that trusting your home to a stranger can be a little daunting. So we’ve done all the hard work to ensure that your Pawshake house sitter is trustworthy and reliable. All our pet sitter profiles are checked individually by our dedicated trust and safety team and some house sitters also have their own police checks which they can share with you.

The best thing about engaging a Pawshake verified house sitter is that you can relax knowing that on top of being covered by The Pawshake Guarantee which includes veterinary coverage, so your pets are being cared for in a familiar environment and your Mernda VIC home is also being looked after as well. 

In addition to looking after your pets, most of our house sitters will happily help you by collecting your mail, taking out the bins, and watering your plants. Just make sure you discuss all your requirements with your chosen house sitter prior to booking.

Dear Pet Owners!This is Cansu. I am 33 years old.I love animals. I have a rescued cat who lives in Turkey with my parents in my absence. Before then my cat, I also had rescued a dog who was abandoned on a street. I looked after her until I found a good family to adopt her. In Australia, I worked on a dairy farm so I had chance to send lots of time with farm animals; cows, calves, sheep  dogs and cats... Also while I was working as au-pair I looked after my host family's cat for 6 months. So, petsitting is good match with my situation as I love being around animals and as it is hard to have my own pet in a foreign country at the moment.I prefer petsit in pets owners house when they travel for short or long time. This also help me about exploring new places.I can also do daily dog walking, cat/dog day sitting and so on. I can take care of multiple pets at the same time if they do not require high maintance.Also, if you are away for some time I can water your indoor or outdoor plants/garden and take care of your home as my own with respect.For further information feel free to contact me. Look forward to hearing from you and my furry friends.Love,Cansu


Hi!! My name is Sathi and I am 23 years old.I live in a house with a big backyard that my pets enjoy. 
I have cared for Cats and Dogs since a young age and absolutely love animals and definitely have a soft spot for all kinds! I have taken in plenty of strays during my time in Sri Lanka both cats and dogs that needed homes or care. Most of the animals in my care were well looked after and recieved constant attention.
I found being able to spend time with animals you start to understand them more and see different personalities. I have learnt to be able to handle food proportions and I'm aware of hygiene and providing to medicational needs when needed.
I joined this program because I love being around animals and would love to be able to make it easier for owners who need a sitter to look after their pets for a short time.
Having pets as company will definitely be a bonus to this program and I will enjoy every new moment I make!!
*SERVICES*
I offer services to all sizes of cats and dogs though I only accept pets that have been vaccinated. Medicational needs and essentials are to be listed and provided if possible (eg. lead, toy, food, medication etc.)
Owners will be able to determine the minutes or hours they would like there pets to be walked.
I available Monday Tuesday Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday.
I am open to questions and able to make myself flexible in any emergency cases.
*Skills*
Good listener
Great communication
Focused
Well organised

Hi!I'm Jess and I'm a 22 year old disability support worker with three pets (two cats and an elderly dog) who is passionate about providing excellent care to all animals as if they were my own! My partner Liam also has a background in the disability sector and currently works from home doing IT work (AKA more time at home to walk and cuddle furry friends!)I've lived around the northern suburbs my entire life but travel into the east and west suburbs for day shifts occasionally so am well versed when it comes to walking trails and the local parks but google helps with that too!I'm more than happy to provide referrals and provide further details regarding my experience house/pet sitting. I've had two years of experience with over ten plus referrals willing to vouch that their homes and pets were left in immaculate condition after returning from their holidays. Many of the photos in my gallery are of my own pets and furry friends that I've had the pleasure of looking after. Please feel free to contact me so we can arrange a meet and greet with your fur babies!
P.S we have an account on madpaws with over ten 5 star reviews! We are just new on this app - Jess and Liam

Passionate about animals, I am motivated to be a pet sitter by a profound love for our furry companions. Growing up with a cat and a dog, I discovered the joy and fulfillment that comes from fostering a strong bond with pets. My cat, a playful and affectionate companion, taught me the importance of patience and understanding. On the other hand, my energetic dog became my exercise partner, emphasizing the health benefits of a pet-centric lifestyle.
My experience extends beyond my own pets to caring for family and friends' dogs. This has provided me with a diverse range of encounters, from the exuberant and social to the shy and reserved. Each interaction reinforced my commitment to ensuring the well-being of animals in my care. I find solace in creating a comfortable and nurturing environment, tailoring my approach to the unique needs and personalities of each pet.
The joy of being a pet sitter lies not only in the practical aspects of feeding and exercise but in building trust and companionship. Knowing that I contribute to the happiness and security of animals brings a profound sense of purpose, making pet sitting a deeply rewarding endeavor for me.
As a pet caregiver, I can provide services such as feeding, walking, and ensuring their overall well-being while you're away. Additionally I can offer companionship and attention to keep your pets happy and comfortable. 

My husband Chris and I offer dog walking and in your house feeding / playing and care for any type of animal! 
We absolutely loved boarding dogs and cats previously but have since had two little children and our Hungarian Vizsla is now elderly so unfortunately can no longer provide stays at our house for the time being however we are highly experienced in animal care and behavior and would love to walk your dogs and come to your home to feed / love and attend to your animals when you are at work or away. 
We have both owned animals our entire lives, share a beautiful 11.5 year old Vizsla we have raised from a puppy and have years experience of dog boarding and foster care.
If you are local to us, we can also offer your pets a big play in our fully fenced bush acreage abutting reserves and Diamond Creek 
Please message us for more details about what we can provide, a meet and greet and quote 

My partner Andy and I (Amy) have been dog sitting and dog walking for years using Pawshake in Europe with high ratings and repeat fur babies to look after. We have looked after lots of different breeds large,small, lots of rescues, special needs dogs (blind, sick, arthritis, trust issues, anxiety etc.) 
I am currently studying my certificate II in Animal Care and am looking to do my Veterinary Nurse certificate IV once completed. I have had to make a new account now that I'm in Australia but have added screenshots of some reviews to my photo gallery.
House sitting wise we are completely comfortable with having pets snuggle up on the couch and bed (if they are allowed) and are used to get kicked out of our own bed my our 2 fur babies. We are a big believer in patience and building up trust with dogs and want to see them show their unique personalities and smiles,  
I've also helped relocate a cat Hillary  and dog Tiny  from The Netherlands to Germany for one of my clients in Europe and helped them settle into their new home for a few days while their parent got their new life organised. If you have any special requests feel free to reach out!
Apart from our experience dog sitting over the years my partner and I have had dogs while growing up, Andy actually grew up on a farm and has plenty or experience with all different animals. We now have 2 beautiful rescue dogs of our own, Muffin and Butters who we rescued from Romania and Portugal and safely relocated with us back here in Australia. If we your dog is social and you want them to have friends on their walk I'm more than happy to get them involved with my dogs or others after a proper introduction.

If you want to check out our dogs personalities head on over to Instagram and type in @muffin.fluffbutt

Feel free to reach out, we'd love to add your dog to our ever growing dog walking/sitting family  

My name is Beck, and I have a deep-seated love for animals that inspires my commitment to offering high-quality pet sitting services. For me, being a pet sitter is more than just a job; it’s about creating a bond with each pet and ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply providing companionship, I take pride in treating every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own.
I understand how important it is for pet owners to have peace of mind, which is why I strive to make each pet feel at ease in my care. My goal is to create a comforting and stress-free experience, giving owners the confidence that their pets are in trustworthy hands.
In addition to my love for animals, I hold a valid police check and a Working with Children Check (WWCC), which further ensures my reliability and dedication to safety. Whether your pet needs regular walks, feeding, or just a bit of love and attention, I’m here to provide the care they deserve. I look forward to building long-lasting relationships with both pets and their owners, ensuring each one feels valued and cared for.


Ciao! 

I'm Umberto, but everybody calls me Umi. I've always loved dogs, since I was a baby. After moving in Australia and marrying the woman of my dreams, I have been lucky enough to adopt Sunlight, a vivacious Labrador Retriever that never runs out of energy. It's safe to say Sunlight is the childhood dream I have achieved as an adult. Even though I always wanted my own dog growing up, I am lucky to say that my daughters will grow up alongside him and have him during their childhood. 

As a husband and as a father, I'm always looking for extra ways of income. But I would never be a dog sitter if I didn't absolutely love it. I love animals, cats and dogs in particular. I enjoy spending time with them, playing with them and even just observing them. I can safely say that dogs have taught me just as much - if not more - than what I have taught them.

But enough about me. Let's talk about what's in it your beloved dog. 
I will take great care of your doggo. That means regular walks, playtime, plenty of food and fresh water. I've been around animals my entire life, so I know how to handle both small and big dogs. I am physically strong and able to take care of the biggest breeds, but I also have a delicate touch and I love smaller dogs just as much. 
I take this job very seriously, and I make sure our furry friends are NEVER left unsupervised. Having experience with dogs means that I know how to behave in every situation, whether they leave a poop in the streets (I come prepared with my own bags and wipes) or just need a little bit of extra care at home. 

What's in for your dog:
- Lots of cuddles and attention (do I even need to specify this?)
- 3 daily meals (or as many as instructed by the owner)*
- Plenty of outdoor time when the weather allows it
- 1:1 time with me
- Regular walks (GPS-tracked in real time, so that you always know where your pet is)
- Photo, video and text updates 
- Free treats (how could I not? 🥹)
*Please provide your own food whenever possible. I wouldn't ever let your dog starve, so I must ask for an additional $5 per day if you wish me to provide the food for your dog(s). It's also important to let me know about your dog's allergies and dietary requirements, if there are any.

Upon request, I can organise special activities such as:
️ Basic training sessions (sit, stay, up, down, lay down etc.)
️ Washing with top-quality dog products &amp; Towel drying
️ Play sessions with specific toys (thug play, ball fetching etc.)
️ Photos and video recordings, or video calls keeping you updated during the entire time

So, why should you choose me?
1. I love dogs. I think that's more important than any experience or qualification. I genuinely love what I do, because I enjoy spending time with dogs.
2. I'm highly experienced. Being a dog owner, I know what it means to take good care of a dog. In my life, I've had the pleasure of spending time with dogs of all kinds and sizes. 
3. I know how it feels like being on the other end. Before being a pet sitter, I've had to deal with pet sitters. That's why you can expect photo updates, GPS tracked walks and even a few videos at the end of the experience. 
4. I'm always a phone call away. Sure, online chats are great. But you will also be able to reach me via message, phone call or video call whenever needed.
5. You've found me for a reason! I don't believe in coincidences. If you're still reading this, there is a good chance you've already made the right decision. 

Thank you for making it this far! 
Please feel free to send me a message if you have any question or if you're ready to book me.

Ciao to you and your little ones!&nbsp;
I'm extremely an all animals person and have been a pet sitter and owner for about 18 years now.&nbsp;
From having had cats deliver babies on my lap to taking care of infant pups to rescuing birds, snakes, crocodiles, I have experienced it all. So it's safe to say  have immense love and patience for your pets needs.&nbsp;
I'm extremely gentle to the moods that the lil ones have. The property I reside in is a huge 3 bedroom townhouse, plenty of backyard space and access to a huge park right in front of the house. Your pets will have plenty of safe, pet friendly environment to run around and play to their fancy.&nbsp;
There will be a full time person (myself) looking after them at all times for your pets safety, they will not be left alone in the home for more than two hours at a time and will have full time supervison as I work from home and my partner has a flexible schedule.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The services that I can offer are dog sitting, walking(multiple 20 minutes to 40 minute walks the local parks or gardens), house visits (multiple for 1 day or stay there for a whole day) and yes, I can water your plant babies as well and lock everything back up, dog boarding (not more than two dogs at a time).
I'm open to all vaccinated pets, de-sexed doesn't matter to me. It's all love. I do not administer injected medication to your pets, I'm open to oral medication only. I also do not provide grooming services but I can brush your loved ones until they fall sound asleep!
My home (3 bedroom townhouse) resides me and my partner and we do not have pets of our own. We have a large backyard (fully fenced) adjoining it a garrage which is also enclosed. The backyard also has a shed on top so your pets can freely relax outdoors without the rain/sun bothering them.&nbsp;
Looking forward to keeping your pets company!


Pet sitting is the perfect integration of our love for animals and my love of freedom and travel. We are blessed to live in a time where this is a possibility. Brie works from home which gives the animals I am sitting extra cuddles and company.

As devoted animal lovers, we understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your fur babies with the same love and attention that you do.
My partner, Hugo, and I both share a deep love for animals. We’ve spent countless hours caring for and enjoying the company of our own furry companions, and we know firsthand the joy they bring as well as the responsibility they require.
With years of experience caring for cats and dogs, I’m confident in our abilities to provide your animals with the highest level of care. Whether it’s feeding, playing, cuddling, walking or just keeping them company, we're committed to making sure they feel at ease. We're also comfortable administering medications if necessary and will maintain any routine that keep your animal happy and healthy.
We promise to treat your animals with the same love and care that I would give to our own pets, ensuring they are well-cared-for and content during your absence.
Please let us know if there are any specific needs or routines your animals have and we will make it our priority to accommodate them. Thank you so much for considering our application. 
We look forward to the possibility of caring for your animals and giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
