"I recommend Pheryn as a reliable, honest pet sitter who has a kind nature and empathy with dogs and coped admirably with my old talkative parrot who can be challenging!"

"We were so pleased with the care Stacey provided while looking after our dog Freddie in our home for two nights. As this was our first time using a pet sitter, it was really important to us to feel comfortable and confident, and Stacey made that very easy. Her communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates that gave us peace of mind and allowed us to relax knowing Freddie was happy and well cared for. It was clear Stacey genuinely cared for Freddie, and he was calm, content, and very much himself when we returned home—which says it all. It was also lovely to come back to a well-looked-after house. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Stacey to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter, and we would happily have her stay again."

"Emily came and looked after our dog and house very last minute as unfortunately our dog got injured and was unable to go to the kennel. She had great communication while we were away and loved the photo updates. Our house was very clean and tidy when we arrived home and our dog didn't show any signs of stress - which she usually does after a kennel stay. We wouldn't hesitate to use Emily again. Thanks so much for looking after our Flossy!! "

"Eva and her partner Hankyul looked after our dog Buddy for 12 nights while we were away in Sydney. We hadn’t used pet sitters before but all went smoothly with daily updates and really good communication which was much appreciated. We came come to a happy dog and a very clean and tidy home. Would definitely recommend Eva and Hankyul - a great option :)"

"I couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received while I was away! From the moment we met Anne, it was clear she had a genuine love for animals and a calm, confident presence that immediately put our pup at ease. We received regular updates, including photos, which gave me peace of mind and made us smile. When I returned, Lola was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. The house was spotless, and everything was just as I left it. I'm so grateful to have found someone so reliable and kind. Highly recommend Anne to anyone looking for loving, attentive care for their furry family member! Thank you again for everything!"

"We loved having Jane come and stay to look after Louie, Tessa and Indy. She kind of got a handful - one cat had just had an abscess removed and needed two trips to the vet during our absence to get stitches etc out, plus needed medication. The other cat would only turn up sporadically for his meals and our dog was on slightly limited exercise from surgery two months prior. She kept in touch with us while we were away to give us updates and made sure she was completely clear on instructions. We came home to a relaxed household and happy pets. We'll definitely ask Jane to come and stay again when we go away next time."

Why house sitting ?

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 Brightwater 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 Brightwater.

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 Brightwater 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.

Pet owners book house sitting in Brightwater on Pawshake. Over 235 pet owners in Brightwater have left a review, with an average of 4.94/5. All paid safely using Visa, Mastercard, American Express
