House Visits to your house - once or twice a day. Servicing Edmonton, Bentley Park, Mt Sheridan, Bayview Heights and Woree only at this stage. Are you going away for a short holiday / weekend and need someone reliable to come and feed / check on your cats?
I used to be a manager at yaps and have over 12 years experience in looking after cats. I am known as the cat whisperer because I am yet to find a cat that doesn't like me. I have also been known to "tame" slightly feral cats, so challenge accepted if you have a wild feline at home haha ...&nbsp;
I own 3 rescue cats myself and also do fostering for cats that are waiting for their furever homes. Harvey is my Jack Russell.
Morning house visits will be between 6am and 9am, afternoon house visits will be between 3pm - 6pm. I am at each house for roughly 30-40 mins.&nbsp;
Will check water bowls, provide dry / wet food per your routine, can administer meds if needed, clean litter trays, basic brushing if needed, photos, and hang out with your cat.&nbsp;



Hello and welcome to my profile!
My name is Gwladys, and I’m a passionate animal lover with several years of experience as a pet sitter and dog walker. Having grown up around animals, I am comfortable and confident with dogs, cats, and other pets. I understand the unique needs of each animal and ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve, following their routines and preferences.

Here’s what I offer for your pets:
	•	Dog Walking: I provide walks tailored to your dog’s needs, whether they need a high-energy walk or a more relaxed stroll. I ensure that your dog is safely kept on a leash and pay attention to their well-being during our time together.
	•	Pet Sitting at Home: I can take care of your pets at your home, providing meals, cleaning litter boxes, and giving them lots of love and attention. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away.
	•	Care and Companionship: If your pet has specific needs like taking medication or requires extra care, I’m happy to assist with that in a gentle and attentive manner.


I always make sure to respect your pet’s habits to ensure their stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, while providing a calm and reassuring environment. My goal is to ensure both you and your pet are completely satisfied with my services.

Hi! My name is Florencia. I'm 34 years old and right now I work in the morning doing housekeeping in a Motel.&nbsp;I grew up all my life with female dogs, and I have been a caretaker of friends dogs. Likewise, all of last year I shared an apparent and the care of a dog.My neighbourhood is very quiet, and you can see many dogs walking around everyday.I am available for services in the afternoon and evening during the week, and all day on weekends.My services include: feeding and administering medication if required.&nbsp;Home visits will be 1 or 2 hours. I can also water plants and collect the mail.&nbsp;Walks or strolls with the dogs will last 1 hour and we will walk through nearby parks for example Primrose Park, Drevesen Park, and the other Erik Shaw Park or along the Esplanade Street.Feel free to contact me if.

Hi! I’m Karin, a loving and caring pet sitter who truly adores animals. Since I was a child, I’ve always had pets around me, and over the years I’ve discovered how much joy it brings me to take care of them. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, making them feel safe, relaxed, and happy while their owners are away.
I’m a very patient, responsible, and affectionate person. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I always make sure they feel loved and cared for. I believe animals can sense when someone truly enjoys being with them, so I always bring calm, warmth, and positive energy to every interaction.
For me, being a pet sitter is not just a job, it’s something I do from the heart. I treat every furry friend as if they were my own, giving them the love and attention they deserve. 

Hello! My name is Erisa. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always had a deep love and respect for animals. Back home, I currently have a yellow Labrador who is energetic, loyal, and brings so much joy and companionship to my life.

In addition to caring for large dogs like Labradors, I also have experience with smaller breeds such as a Shih Tzu and a Jack Russell. Through looking after a variety of dogs, I’ve learned to meet their individual needs—including feeding, walking, grooming, basic training, and providing emotional care and comfort.

As a dog walker, I understand the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation for dogs. I make sure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and personality. Whether it’s a slow, sniff-filled stroll for a senior dog or an active, playful outing for a high-energy pup, I’m always attentive to their wellbeing.

Being around animals makes me genuinely happy and fulfilled, and I’ve always felt a natural connection with them. I’m very passionate about animal welfare, and I hope to turn that lifelong passion into meaningful and rewarding work. Nothing would make me happier than being able to give animals the love, attention, and care they truly need and deserve.

I am generally available in the morning, afternoon, and early evening, and I’m flexible depending on your pet’s needs and your schedule.

Services I offer include:

Dog walking
Home visits
House sitting
Basic grooming (brushing, wiping paws, etc.)
Administering oral medication if required
Feeding and fresh water checks
Basic training reinforcement (such as sit, stay, leash manners)


Dog Walking:
My dog walks usually last between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your dog’s energy level and your preference. I walk in safe, dog-friendly areas such as local parks, quiet streets, or familiar routes around your neighborhood. I make sure each walk is not only for exercise but also mentally stimulating and enjoyable for your pet.

Home Visits:
During home visit, I’ll make sure your pet is well-fed, walked (if needed), has fresh water, and receives plenty of playtime and cuddles. I can also help with watering plants, bringing in the mail, and light home care if needed while you’re away.

House Sitting:
During house sitting, I can stay in your home to maintain your pet’s routine and give them comfort in their familiar environment. I aim to stay overnight and for most of the day, depending on our agreement. I’ll ensure the home stays tidy and secure—locking doors and windows, collecting mail, taking out trash, and following any instructions you provide for home safety and care.

I treat all animals with love, patience, and respect, as if they were my own, and I’m happy to discuss any special requests you might have!

Hey, I'm Gemma. I'm originally from England and I've lived all over Australia for the last 17 years. I've spent most of my time in Perth and now I'm seeing what it's like to live in Cairns :)
I love having the freedom to move around, but it means that I can't keep my own pets, and it's a big thing that I miss. I've been house sitting for about 18 months in total and have house sat the same pets multiple times. I have included some reviews in the photos section.&nbsp;
I love looking after cats and small/medium size dogs; not including bull terriers (great dogs, but they're too powerful for me). I'm happy to house sit/visit or to walk 2 dogs at a time.&nbsp;
At the moment my car is in Perth and it won't be in Cairns for another few months, so I'm happy to house sit anywhere that I can get to. I will get a lift there and back from friends and as long as I can get to the shops and to the park/beach easily enough walking or getting the bus then I'm all good.
I usually work/study from home and apart from exercising and meeting friends for lunch/dinner, I'll usually spend most of my time at home.
Please ask if you'd like to see my police check certificate.&nbsp;


Hi! I am Natalia, 33, argentinean. I have been living in Australia for the past 6 years along with my partnet Giuliano!
We absolutely adore pets! we have a dog of our own, Miss Banana who we love and adore and we cant just get enough of her! We are constantly taking care of our friends dogs and cat or as we call them our nieces and newphews
&nbsp;We are responsible people who understand how important pets are in a family and we would be proud and happy to be able to help in any way we can!
i strongly believe that the way each family raises their own pets and for us it is important to understand this prior to be able to help the dog or cat in the most stress free way. If you are going on holiday your per deserves one too no? :)
Things I love to do:-walk dogs in their usual daily route for how long they are used to, we do not want to disturb their rutine!-administer daily food and medication-groom pets, give them a shower, take them to vet appointments-hang out and play with them as they are used to in their daily life-clean after them
Also, your house and safety is important! I can:-check mail for you, water your plants, anything like that is no problem at all, we are already there!-take all the security measures that you need, your house and your pets are important and we want to give them the best care possible!


I'm a trustworthy sitter based in Manunda, Cairns looking to walk and sit your furry friends. I really love dogs but do not have any of my own, so it's a real joy to be able to walk and look awesome pooches. I have been house sitting some gorgeous doggies for the last month and am able to provide great references from the UK and Australia demonstrating over 10 years of experience. I've also got an Aussie housesitter account with a few reviews there if you need!&nbsp;
I have looked after dogs, cats, birds, chickens, rabbits, Guinea pigs and snakes so have a wide range of experience. I am ideally looking for consistent dog walking gigs that fit around part time working from home job. If you do need a sitter to come to your house and be with your dog in the week, I can do this as I work remotely as long as you have an internet connection.&nbsp;
Do reach out with any questions or requests for references, looking forward to seeing your furry friends soon.&nbsp;


I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up surrounded by them, from farm animals like horses and cows to dogs, cats, rabbits, and more. Caring for them has always come naturally to me.As a teenager, my mum worked with an animal rescue association, and we often fostered pets in our home for about a month while they waited for their forever families. This meant I was constantly caring for different animals, including those needing extra patience and love.I’m a very responsible, calm, and caring person who truly enjoys spending time with animals. My love for them even led me to become vegetarian 11 years ago.I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine.I can walk your pet for as long as required or take care of them for a few hours, a morning/afternoon taking them for a walk, playing outside... Or do a house visit. I don't have a car at the moment, I live in the esplanade so I could go anywhere with public transport :)Your fur baby will be treated like one of my own 🤍

Hi! I'm Ben. I travel for work a lot and unfortunately that prevents me from having my own pup. So I would love to spend time with your dog and take them for a walk or 2 in the afternoons or weekends on a casual basis. Even go on some larger adventures. My work travel also means I can only have casual availability and cannot commit to regular walks over large periods of time or too far in advance. 
Im open to doggy day care on weekends too. And possibly an overnight depending on bonding with your little pup. 
I've previously owned a dog and enjoy their company. Im looking forward to meeting your little pooch and walking them around cairns. Will even take them to the pub if they're a pub dog, and you want them to socialise for a longer period. 
Let me know if they have a favourite walk like the esplanade and I'll try to accommodate that!! Or if they prefer to run rather than walk, I can accommodate that too. 




Hi, I’m Andrea 
I'm an Ecuadorian traveler and creative. I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, and in my house there were  between 2 and 4 dogs at all times. I recently worked for a premium pet care service in New York City, where I got to know and look after 89 amazing pets in the neighborhood.  I always make sure to build a great relationship with the pets, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable during buddy walks. I feel completely comfortable taking care of them, playing with them and administering any medicine they need, and I'm certified in Dog and Cat First Aid. I’ll make sure your pets get all the love and exercise they need!Apart from that, I’m super clean and respectful of other people’s spaces, and I absolutely love going on walks—especially with a dog by my side!  In my free time I love exploring the world, meeting new people, hiking in nature, or practicing aerial silks. And as much as I love being outside I also love a cozy day inside, reading or watching a movie. I’m also a big plant lover! In my last apartment, I had over 30 plants that I kept thriving for years.
