About Carolyn

Hello, I am Carolyn and have been a dedicated professional cat sitter since 2018. I am a mature cat lover who has recently relocated to Ballarat.

I undertake home visits for your cat(s) and other small pets.

I have over 7 years professional experience with senior, geriatric, timid, anxious, and rescue cats who prefer the comfort of their own home. I have had cats in my life since I was a child. I live, breathe and adore all things cat!

I have cared for many different cat breeds including Sphinxes, Main Coons, Bengals, Burmese, Siamese, Norwegian Forest, and loads of gorgeous domestic cats including Moggies. I have also cared & attended to chickens, budgies, tropical fish, guinea pigs, lizards & even a python.

Some cats do not cope in boarding facilities or being outside their home. They can become overly stressed and can refuse to eat and reactive, which is out of character for them. Keeping your pet(s) safe, secure & relaxed in their home environment is important to their overall wellbeing. Especially while you are away.

MY SERVICES INCLUDE:

*Daily Home Visits: 30-40 minute service which includes: •washing food bowls •feeding your pet their regular food/treats •refreshing all water bowls •litter scoop/enclosure clean. Each pet receives quality one on one time, that can include cuddles, pats, brush, playtime or cuddles. Max. of 3 pets.

*Seasonal pricing applies over Christmas & Easter periods.

*Twice Daily Home Visits:  2 x 30-40 min visits. AM & PM service on the same day. The same routine as a daily home visit, but with twice the cuddles, love & companionship. Max. of 3 pets.

*Seasonal pricing applies for Christmas & Easter periods.

Keeping you Updated: After each visit you will receive a message update including photos. I also include the option of a short video. Keeping you updated gives you peace of mind and reassurance. If I have any concerns for the health & wellbeing of your pet(s), I will contact you immediately or your emergency contact.

Medications: Even relaxed, chilled cats who are used to taking oral medication from their owner, can be untrusting & allusive with a different person. I am happy to give your pet their medications if it can be mixed into their wet food or hidden in a creamy treat/churu. I have cared for cats with hyperthyroidism.

If injections are required, I give the option of undertaking additional short pop-ins (complimentary) to ensure kitty is comfortable with a new person giving their injections. I am more than happy to take the time to understand your cat's/pets medication needs in more detail.

Other service options: •Letterbox check •Parcel collection •watering indoor plants •organise garbage collection •turning on/off lights, TV, blinds etc.

My Documentation: At our Meet and Greet I provide my current police check, which I renew annually.

Please allow 30-45 mins for our introductory meet & greet. This meeting allows us both to chat, introduce your pet(s), discuss their needs in detail and for us to feel comfortable that we are the right fit for your pets needs.

Thank you for reading my profile in full and I look forward to caring for fur babies soon.

Matthew & Chantelle, 2024-11-06

Wow, what can I say?

We've used this app many times before and chose Carolyn for the first time this time, and she is absolutely the best cat sitter we've ever had. Kind, reliable, and her communication is unmatched. She cares about what she does, and our cats clearly saw that too as our normally shy pets were very sociable when she came over.

Carolyn sent us photos and videos and really helped us with updates while we were away. She also went above and beyond to look after our house even though she didn't need to.

She's the only cat sitter we want next time.

You will regret not using Carolyn to look after your pets.
