About Jutta

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
  • Please note that I am currently unable to climb many steps/stairs due to a knee injury. If your apartment is on a higher floor, I would need an elevator. Apologies for the inconvenience.

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

    Jutta is a lovely person and very good at looking after cats! Our little cat loved getting visits from Jutta and immediately took to her. We really appreciated Jutta's updates each day she visited and her great communication and responsiveness while we were away. We will definitely ask Jutta to look after our cat again!
