Recent Pet Sitting reviews in Melbourne
Wei was highly attentive and extremely communicative while looking after my two cats while I was interstate. He even took time out of his schedule to attend to a broken lock that the landlord had to fix to ensure the cats could continue being cared for. The house was clean and the cats were happy on my return.

What does professional pet sitting include?
Pet sitters will give your pets the practical care they need, as well as love and attention they crave while you’re away. Professional pet sitters are experienced in looking after dogs, cats, birds, chickens, ducks, snakes, rats, mice, guinea pigs, fish, horses, cows, and many more animals. Some ways your pet sitter may help are:
Feeding your pet
Most pets need feeding once or twice a day, plus water checked, changed, and topped up. Your professional pet sitter will make sure your pet has fresh, clean water and that they’re fed on schedule with the right quantities and foods, as specified in your instructions. If your pet has special dietary requirements, you can let your pet sitter know so they can accommodate them.
Exercising your pet
While some pets get enough exercise from running around their enclosure or yard area, if you have a dog, they’ll probably need regular walks. Whether it’s three times a day or just a couple of times a week, your pet sitter can take your dog for a walk so they stay fit, happy, and healthy while you’re on holidays or working late in the office.
Cleaning up
Don’t come home from your holiday or a long day at work to a messy house, yard, or cage. Your pet sitter can take care of all kinds of pet messes so you don’t have to stress. They’ll pick up dog droppings and dispose of them in the bin, change kitty litter as needed, and replace the newspaper in the bottom of your bird or reptile enclosure. Plus, if you’re on an extended holiday, your pet sitter can help arrange pet grooming services like dog grooming and dog washing.
Catering to special requirements
Do you have a dog with diabetes or cat with cataracts? If your pet needs extra special attention, let your professional pet sitter know. Most pet sitters are experienced in pets with special needs, including daily injections, specific diets, giving oral medications, and more. They can even help arrange visits to the vet if your pet needs some extra care.

Live-in House & Pet Sitting – Melbourne My partner and I are a reliable, responsible and respectful couple offering live-in house and pet sitting in Melbourne. We are looking for opportunities where we can stay at the owner’s home overnight for the entire duration of the booking while taking care of their pets and home. We can look after dogs, cats and other pets, including feeding, walking, playing with them and following their usual routines. We can also take care of the house, water plants, collect mail, take out bins and keep everything clean and tidy. We are available for both short and longer stays. We are looking for approximately $70 AUD per day, depending on the number of pets and responsibilities. We would be happy to meet beforehand to discuss your pets, your home and everything you need while you’re away. We are currently in Melbourne and can travel to nearby suburbs.

I’m looking got someone to dog sit my 6 year old German Shorthaired Pointer for 8 weeks while I’m overseas from mid August. I’d prefer her to live in with someone else during this period, as my place is very small, so she usually comes to work with me daily. The rate is of course negotiable. I do not know how much it should cost.

Hi, I have to be somewhere between 11:30am-4:30pm tomorrow. We only have our dog Mac recently from the shelter so he can't be alone yet. I'm looking for a dog sitter who would come to our apartment and just accompany our dog Mac while I'm away. I will take him out before I leave, so you won't need to go out, just chill at our place until I'm back. I'll make sure we have a pizza and some snacks for your lunch.
