"I'VE NEVER USED A PET SITTER BEFORE"
If this is you, please know that I understand your concerns. You are handing over the care of your furry family members and the keys to your home to someone you haven't met before.
During the current Covid situation things are even more stressful for people and their pets.
Being able to leave home is something we used to take for granted but now these holidays are even more precious. I want to make sure that when you are enjoying your holiday you don't have to worry about your pets.
"I'VE BEEN WORKING FROM HOME AND MY PET IS USED TO LOTS OF COMPANY"
After spending more time with our pets than ever before, it may feel a bit unsettling to leave them even for a few hours. That's understandable, nothing is "normal" right now. I have spent many hours this year caring for pets while their owners enjoy a few hours out of the house. In a few months the pets might readjust to having more time alone, but for now, I think we need to do what makes us feel comfortable and if that means enjoying a lovely meal at a restaurant with a few friends, knowing that your pet is relaxed at home, then that's what we should do.
Home visits: $35 = 40 minutes
Overnight stays in your home: $90 = 12 hours (eg. 7pm to 7am)
When we first met Kylie, our cat Rory was straight away at ease with her as he approached her to get acquainted. Throughout the first house visit she updated us with messages and photos of Rory. I could see he was relaxed which gives an animal owner a great relief! She understands, is flexible, caring and we certainly have all trust in her knowing that our cat will be fine.
I'm about to book her again, this time for 2 weeks :)
We highly recommend Kylie!
Kylie did a fantastic job looking after our cat, Alice. Kylie has great communication throughout the whole process and we loved receiving regular updates and photos so that we knew everything was okay. Thanks again, Kylie!
