Hello! My name is Kate, I am a lover of all animals great and small and I'm looking forward to getting to know Gold Coast's pet community!
I have history as a foster carer and experience volunteering at Cat Haven where I conducted daily health checks, noting for signs of distress and illness within their boarding facilities.
I see the stress pets can feel when suddenly faced with a new environment and strangers, so I understand the worry owners feel! I am confident with easing anxious and stressed animals into feeling comfortable and happy. I grew up pet sitting for family and friends and I utilise Pawshake to care for animals in my free time. I have more experience with cats and dogs but I will happily care for any animals (I love reptiles, rodents, fish and birds as equally as furbabies!)
I provide the utmost care to the health and well-being of your loved ones. I will play with your pets, give them cuddles as they ask and keep a good eye on their health and behaviour to ensure they are happy. Since moving to Queensland I have dearly missed our family cat back in WA, so I understand how important photo updates are to pet owners!
More about me: I am trustworthy, reliable and conscientious. I'm also very tidy and a non-smoker. My love of animals developed from a young age as I always grew up with pets: a dog, 3 cats (1 adopted stray), many chickens, and the cows and sheep living on the family farm.
For house sitting, I work full-time in Broadbeach Monday to Friday so let me know if you need any walking services during the week. The travel distance will determine whether I can provide a morning and/or evening walk, otherwise I will be able to do so over weekends!
Services:
*Currently I am only offering house sitting services (dog walking included in this service)*
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
We would highly recommend Kate - she looked after our cat Louie for a few days and we felt totally at ease. Louie warmed to her straight away when she came over for a meet and greet. She stayed in regular contact, sent photo updates and was a wonderful house guest. Will hope that she is free next time we go away, thanks Kate!
Kate looked after our three cats while we were away for a week and sent us photos every day so we knew they were safe and well. We were grateful not to have to worry about them so we could relax and enjoy our holiday. She was very careful with the house and took great care of everything. Thanks Kate! Will definitely get in touch next time we plan a trip.
