About Kristi

** Parts of Kangaroo Point, East Brisbane and Woolloongabba are the only areas that I service. Please see the map shaded purple in my photo gallery. When sending your query please mention your street name.

I do not take on clients with unsupervised, outdoor/free-roaming cats or brachycephalic (flat-faced), Manx, or Munchkin/dwarf/teacup breeds (unless adopted from a rescue organisation).

Rates on your initial query will be for one pet, which I can adjust if you have more than one pet in your family:

  • One daily home visit - choose your time, depending on availability (1 pet $34, 2 pets $39, 3 pets $44, 4 pets $49).
  • Two daily home visits - AM/PM, AM/midday or midday/PM (1 pet $59, 2 pets $66, 3 pets $73, 4 pets $80).
  • Housesitting (per night) - ~24 hours (1 pet $88, 2 pets $98, 3 pets $108, 4 pets $118).
  • +15% surcharge during peak holidays periods (8 December 2024 to 3 January 2025 and 16 to 23 April 2025).

    Visits are a minimum of 45 minutes for the first cat, then an extra 15 minutes per extra cat (eg. 2 cats 1 hour visits, 3 cats 1 hour 15 minutes visits, 4 cats 1 hour 30 minutes visits).

    *All requests for shorter/quicker visits will be declined (only exception would be for some pets like fish, etc.).

    Cats need some human affection/attention everyday. It is not enough to just have your cat sitter refresh food/water/litter and leave without any play time.

    Housesitting service is available while you are away overnight (at any age), however, this is the only service I offer for your overnight trips while kittens are younger than six months old.

    # I do NOT provide non-consecutive day visits for cats over six months if you will be away overnight. Minimum once daily visits required for litter refresh and human interaction, even if they have automated food & water &/or litter #

    RECOMMENDATIONS:

    Solo kitten

    • Up to 4 months: No alone overnight - 3 visits recommended during workday (every ~2 hours, eg. 9:45am/12:30pm/3:15pm).
    • 4-6 months: No alone overnight - 2 visits recommended during workday (every ~3.5 hours, eg. 10:30am/2:45pm).
    • 6-18 months: Alone overnight - 3 visits recommended (every ~5.25 hours, eg. 6am/12pm/6pm).
    • Kitten with cat sibling/s over 18 months

      • Up to 4 months: No alone overnight - 2 visits recommended during workday (every ~3.5 hours, eg. ~10:30am/2:45pm).
      • 4-6 months: No alone overnight - 1 visit recommended during workday (about halfway).
      • 6-18 months: Alone overnight - 3 visits recommended if you normally work from home (WFH) or 2 visits recommended if you normally work outside the home.
      • Solo cat

        • Over 18 months: Alone overnight - 3 visits recommended if you normally WFH or 2 visits recommended if you normally work outside the home.
        • Multiple cats

          • Over 18 months: Alone overnight - 2 visits recommended if you normally WFH or 1 visit recommended if you normally work outside the home.
          • -- Small pets requiring less/no contact/play time: 1 visit recommended.

            - If a combination of one/two/three daily visits are required please detail your requirements in your message and I can reply with an exact quote. If after a meet and greet the booking will be going ahead I will adjust the total manually.

            Included tasks: food/water/litter refresh, brush, play, water garden/balcony/indoor plants, wheelie bins kerbside on bin night, bring in bin/mail, water plants, etc.

            Whatever your requirements, please don't hesitate to send me any queries as I would be glad to answer you as soon as possible. I work from home so my schedule is flexible and I am more than happy to fit around your preferred times.

            I just adore animals and love to see their individual personalities shine through. It is my aim to excel at getting to know each of their needs so that they can be precisely catered to - whether it be food, exercise, medical, attention/leisure or in any other aspect of their lives.

            I understand that every pet has different needs. Some cannot get enough interaction meanwhile the same amount of attention may be far too much for another. Plenty of pets seem to just like knowing that someone is close by.

            Kristi is an amazing pet-sitter. Super professional and conscientious. I've used her services many times and couldn't imagine trusting my cat to anyone else. Highly recommended!
