Pet Sitting in Melbourne — Care You Can Actually Trust

Melbourne's community pet sitting network

Going away for a weekend? Working long hours? Moving house? Whatever the reason, finding reliable pet sitting in Melbourne is one of the most stressful parts of owning an animal in a busy city. Pawshare Club exists to fix that, connecting Melbourne pet owners with verified local carers who treat your animal like their own.

Unlike pet sitting apps that connect strangers and take a commission, Pawshare club is a community. Every member is verified, every carer meets your pet before sitting, and every experience is built on genuine local relationships.

Pet sitting for dogs and cats across Melbourne

Pawshare club members care for dogs and indoor cats across Melbourne's inner suburbs. Whether you need someone to pop in and check on your cat while you're travelling, or a trusted carer to stay with your dog overnight, we have members nearby who can help.

Dog sitting: overnight stays, home visits, drop-in check-ins

Cat sitting: home visits, feeding, litter, companionship

Dog walking: regular walks for busy Melbourne professionals

Holiday care: longer stays while you travel interstate or overseas

How Melbourne pet owners use Pawshare Club

The most common way Melbourne members use Pawshare Club is through pet sitting swaps — you look after someone's dog on the weekend, and they look after yours when you travel. The points system means no money changes hands unless you need to top up.

For pet owners who travel frequently, Pawshare Club is far more affordable than a kennel or a professional pet sitting service — and far less stressful for your animal, who gets to stay in a home environment with someone they've already met.

Melbourne pet owners tell us why they switched to Pawshare Club

"As a busy single parent, I hated leaving my Golden Retriever alone all day while I worked, but I couldn't afford expensive sitters. Through Pawshare Club, I connected with two neighbours who had lost their own dog. They're now his loving godpawrents, walking him a few times each week. It's been a lifesaver for me and pure joy for my dog."
