In home pet sitting services are a great way to break up the day and enrich it for your pet.

If you have multiple pets, home visits are a great option to ensure that they all get a visit and lots of attention during the day.

Our sitters will treat your home with respect and are flexible with timing, requests and durations. All this can be discussed before you make a home visit booking.

Pet boarding is a great option for when you are away for a few days and your pet needs overnight care. Unlike pet hotels, Pawshake pet boarding allows you to arrange a personalised daily routine for your pet, whether this be extra belly rubs, playtime or 24 hour supervision. Your pet will stay with the pet sitter in a cosy home environment, rather than a large, impersonal pet hotel.  

So whether you need just one day, a week or even a month, you’ll be able to find an experienced pet or dog carer to accommodate you and your pet’s needs in Altona VIC. The best part is that your Pawshake pet sitter is from your local neighbourhood, so they will be familiar with the area.

Your pet’s safety and welfare is a big priority for us, which is why all of our Pawshake pet sitters undergo a strict vetting process by our trust and safety team. At Pawshake, we understand that you might feel a little uneasy allowing a pet sitter to enter your home or arranging pet boarding at their place. This is why Pawshake pet sitters also have reviews from other pet parents that are publicly available on their profile for you to read.

I recognize that leaving your pet with someone else can be a stressful decision, and that’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to create a trusting relationship with both you and your pet, providing you with peace of mind while you’re away. From regular walks and playtime to feeding and administering any necessary medications, I ensure that all aspects of your pet’s routine are maintained, keeping them happy and healthy.

I have a genuine passion for animals and enjoy spending time getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can see how your pet is doing and feel connected even when you’re apart. Additionally, I am flexible with scheduling and can accommodate special requests to make sure your pet’s needs are fully met.

Choosing my pet sitting services means that your pet will receive personalized, loving care in a familiar and comfortable environment. I am dedicated to making sure that your pet enjoys their time with me, so you can focus on your tasks knowing they are in good hands.

I am a 25 year old uni student who loves animals. 
I have had dogs as pets my whole life so they would definitely be my favourite! In saying this I have looked after a couple cats for people in the past. 
Currently my family has a 1 year old Border Collie named Archie who you can see in my profile picture. Being a Border Collie, I'm no stranger to going on long walks and running around the park with him to fulfil his daily exercise needs. 
I have 4 years experience caring for other peoples animals (large and small!) with my longest stint being for 3 months and I loved every moment of it! 
My calendar is relative flexible between work and uni as I'm able to work from home two days a week. 
I am studying a double degree in commerce and law with all my classes being online at this stage which gives me more flexibility to looking after your animals. 
I am open to any services that may be required in looking after your pets and am happy to pass on testimonies from people who's pets if I've looked after in the past. 

Hi. I'm Laura and I have no furbabies, but two human babies. They are 1 and 3 years old so your pet must be ok with SMALL children. 

I’ve owned dogs and cats on and off for more than 20 years. I’d love a pet for my little people but it’s too much to take on full time, so looking after your fur baby will be a nice compromise. Pets MUST be experienced and socialised with small kids.

We live walking distance to a park and have a completely enclosed back yard and fully fenced front yard. The back yard is a strip of concrete, so it's not too pleasant but very secure for when needed for a short period, such as meal times or me dealing with a poosplosion. The front yard is secure but not escape proof, and full of interesting things, including a veggie garden and people walking past. I will often leave the front door open so dogs can come and go, but it's not escape proof, so cats and escape artist dogs will remain indoors. We live on a quiet street with easy parking directly in front of the house.

I regularly communicate with owners using videos, photos and updates about what we are doing. You're more than welcome to request more or less communication at any time and I'm happy to use your preffered method - WhatsApp, Mad Paws, Facebook Messenger, Text, Snapchat etc.

I will only accept bookings that have met with me and my kids (rabbits and guinea pig exempt), so your availability needs to be flexible around naps and bedtimes etc. I need to be confident they will be ok with the kids. I try and teach them how to behave with pets and supervise them at all times, but they are young and there is a risk of them touching a tail or putting their hand in a food bowl. Please discuss with me any temperamental triggers that we may need to be aware of so I can put some strategies in place.

I'm happy to accept last minute bookings, but we need to have had a meet and greet already, so if you think you'd like to use my services, you're welcome to come meet us now, in prepartion for last minute bookings in the future.

Pets MUST BE fully vaccinated, healthy, well behaved &amp; sociable (with people &amp; other animals). We often hang out with friends and family who also have pets (mainly dogs). If your pet has issues with other animals please have a chat with me about it.

Owner provides all food, treats, bed, lead, poo bags &amp; any fav toys. 

If your pet has any BEHAVIOURAL ie barking, chewing, jumping up, counter-surfing, storm phobia, marks inside, anything else?, you MUST DISCLOSE this in your initial inquiry. Not deal breakers, just good to know up front so I can manage your expectations of the level of support and care I can provide.

Please note that given the age of my kids, A LOT of food ends up on the floor. If this is a problem, let me know and I can secure your pet elsewhere during meal times.

Puppy surcharge for dogs under 1 year old as puppies are a lot of work! Please honestly disclose the progress of their house training. I can manage an accident prone puppy as long as I know to expect that.

If you declare your pet to be house trained and they pee/bleed/poo on the couch or bed, you will be charged for the cleaning bill. Fortunately I have wooden and tiled floors so there's no risk there.

An Overnight is roughly 24hrs ( +/- a few hrs). E.g. If drop off is early Saturday and pick up Sunday afternoon, then I charge 1 night and 1 day care.

Hi, I’m living in a house that has a backyard with a 5month years old puppy, Rosie(Rough Collie) and my partner. Rosie loves people and dogs. She’s very playful and intelligent and loves to play with friends!
Me and my partner always bring Rosie to the park for walkies two times every single day! Not only walking but also playing with toys at home and taking a nap on the couch together. We love those times
Our place is close to the dog park and beach also, our backyard is fully fenced, which is safe from the road. We have a lot of toys for puppies! (You can bring any toys that your dog loves)
We both have a lot of experience with dogs.&nbsp;
Happy to take care and look after your dog and give Rosie someone to hang out with for a while!
We can do dog walks(only with daycare and dog boarding), daycare and dog boarding on the weekends and weekdays. Your dog can stay in the house and also in the backyard. Especially on the weekends, we can stay at the House for 24 hours.
If you are interested, Please feel free to contact me:)
