Hello wonderful pet owners! 🐱

I'm Zarah a mature aged (45) experienced pet sitter and cat whisperer of 10 years from Sydney.

I have a lot of experience with caring for dogs and cats as well as owning cats. I often get called a cat whisperer and I love working as a pet sitter. It's one of the best things I've ever done!

Cats are my absolute specialty and I feel so fortunate they seem to 'choose' me. I love getting to know each cat's incredible personality!

I also love to spend time with dogs too and haven't had a dog that didn't love me back.
I practice meditation and animals love it! They find it fascinating and very relaxing 🧘‍♀️

When I come to stay I like to maintain your pets normal feeding/sleeping routine and am happy for them to sleep in the room/bed with me too.

It is great to be able to come and stay with your pet at their home so that they feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings while you are away.

I can water plants and care for your garden and maintain the house. I provide the ultimate pamper sessions for your fur babies and will care for them as if they were my own as I deeply love animals.

I send plenty of daily photos and video updates so you know they are happy and safe ( I love taking photos of them! 😍).


I've looked after animals with a range of health conditions before and find giving medication pretty easy. I have many references of satisfied previous customers I can provide you with and am available to meet you to see if it's the right fit for all of us.

I've lived with and cared for animals all of my life and my two cats have now passed on so I'm so incredibly grateful to get to do this and spend time with animals again ❤️

I am a dedicated student and follow a healthy holistic lifestyle. I do most of my study online so having your pet keep me company and spending time with them is lovely and they aren't left on their own for very long ever.

I like to keep fit, spend time gardening or sipping tea listening to music and podcasts. I love watching old movies and drawing too.

Thank you for visiting my profile!



Love Zarah x

Zarah was an absolute superstar looking after our girl, we genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better person for the job. 

In fact we were quite astounded by how much she exceeded our expectations during her stay and in addition to that our house was immaculate upon return! Our furry girl got the ultimate pamper sessions whilst we were away, and we are so happy we have a cat sitter we can rely on! - Katie C, Bronte NSW

Zarah looked after my 2 cats Pablo and Pandora a number of times, and always took fantastic care of them. She kept them well fed and brushed, kept their litter clean and changed, and they loved her company so much they ended sleeping in bed with her!Zarah clearly loves animals and will look after yours as if they are her own, I couldn't recommend her more highly - Ella P., Paddington, NSW

Zarah has been pet sitting and house sitting for me regularly over the past 8 years. She has cared for my chihuahua for one week periods and 3 month periods. Zarah is honest, thoughtful, fantastic with animals and very house proud. I always feel completely at ease and relaxed when she is taking care of my home and pet. She treats animals with love and attentiveness and due to her aesthetic inclination, treats my home with utter respect. She is the first person I call when I am going away. She is an animal whisperer!! I would suggest Zarah as your first point of contact when you need your home and pets looked after -Shellie B, Erskineville, NSW

Zarah is amazing! She regularly watches my staffie, Henry when I am out of town and I'm beginning to suspect that he likes it better when I'm away. But seriously, I always come back to a happy up and I can tell he's been having the time of his life in my absence. -Scotty W., Brooklyn, NYC

Zarah is an angel when it comes to leaving your pet children when her. Charlie was still a little man at 12 months when I went away and Zarah not only looked after my dearest kitty but also my home as well. I received updates on his cuteness which put my mind at ease and let me enjoy my time away without needing to worry. Knowing my cat was getting all the attention and affection of the lovely Miss Zarah!!!! I would recommend her to anyone. Caring, trustworthy and a loyal - Jennie, Paddington, NSW
