*** unfortunately I will be unable to do any sits (other than the ones booked) until May 2025 as I have to move house in January and have ankle replacement surgery in February with a long recovery time. 🥺 I hope to be up and running again and able to spend time with your cats asap later in the year. Thank you to all the amazing owners and lovely smoochies. I love them all. 😻😢****

I have over 20 years experience in pet (and house) sitting via a house sitter website and repeat sits and pet care in my social and professional network; and I understand the anxiety of leaving pets in the care of others. I only sit for cats (and rodents) these days just because I love spending time with their complex personalities and quirks. 🌻🐈

I have had cats continually since childhood and have cared for them throughout their live stages from kittens to geriatric, and nursed them following a variety of injuries and surgeries. I currently have two 7-year old (tuxedo medium haired) rescue cats called Uncle Leo and Henry Winterbottom.

My visits are generally 30-45 minutes each, sometimes stretch into an hour, and I commit to either one or two sits a day whether it may be short of longer-term arrangements. Alternative arrangements may be negotiated - feel free to ask - you need to feel assured that your cats get the best care and love possible.

I generally commit to sits within a 5 km max radius to provide best reliable service. But feel free to reach out if you might be a little bit further as I may be able to combine yours with another sit closer to you.

I hold a current police check, NDIS clearance, and Working With Children check for my other work (and to ease your mind). Can provide on demand. I have a reliable car and know my way around Melbourne.

My sits generally include:

• keeping up regular feeding routine
• checking for and cleaning up furballs and vomit or other accidents 
• basic grooming if requested and cats do not stress
• administering oral medication
• spending time with them playing and/or just sitting with them for company depending on their needs and preferences
• cleaning litter boxes each visit
• cleaning bedding, toys and scratchy posts
• refreshing and cleaning water bowls and plates each visit
• safely airing the apartment/house each visit (after instructions)
• watering indoor and outdoor plants
• emptying mail box
• wheeling in/out rubbish/recycling bins for collection
• send regular updates and pictures, set up video calls with your cats 
• monitor their behaviour and health and raise any issues of concern with you

Any questions or concerns, feel free to message me. I can’t wait to meeting and spending time with your cat(s).
