👋🏻 About Us 👋🏻

We’ve called Melbourne home for over a decade and are pawrents ourselves to Indy, our affectionate & food-loving rescue cat.

We understand how tough it is to leave your fur baby behind, and do our best to ensure both you & your pet are happy & comfortable with our care!

While we specialise in cat-sitting, we also have experience caring for dogs (Michelle grew up with a darling Maltese), rabbits, and fish.

Outside of pet-sitting, we enjoy cooking up a storm, playing board games, or working on our passion projects (we have a cat food review website for Australian cat-owners - indyreviewscatfood[dot]com)

💖 Why We're Different 💖

Detail-oriented and loving care, with mindful consideration of your pet’s needs and instructions

We endeavour to offer a routine as close to yours in terms of feeding, playtime and other habits. We're particular with our own cat's routine (we have a 3 page doco for our sitter when we're away!) and we carry that same commitment when we look after someone else's cat.

Most importantly, we want to make sure your cat feels comfortable while you're away so you come home to a happy and confident cat!

Excellent communication before, during, and after pet sitting

We take pride in communicating clearly and are always happy to discuss any concerns.

We are also proactive and are ready to help if your trip is disrupted or changed.

Where possible, we try to offer some suggestions/recommendations at the end of pet-sitting based on our experiences and observations. Our goal is to help make life a bit better for both you and your pet!

We’re not just pet sitters!

We want to build a relationship with both you and your pet so we're all on the same page. We’re happy to discuss any specifics in routine, feeding etc as needed.

📍 Location & Pricing 🏷️

We're based in inner North/West Melbourne and are happy to travel to nearby suburbs (e.g. CBD, Kensington, Carlton)

Prices displayed are for 1 or 2 cats and for suburbs within a 5 km radius of North Melbourne.

** If you are outside this area, have more than 2 cats, or have any dog(s), we provide pet-sitting at a custom rate to cover additional travel/care time.**

🐱 What We Offer 🐶

Key services:

• Visits (once or twice a day: 1 visit ~40 mins, 2 visits ~30 mins each): feeding, litter check/change, general tidying/clean-up, playtime, and social interaction (depending on your pet’s needs).

• House-sitting (staying overnight at your home): same as visits, plus more time for social interaction, extra cuddles, and more frequent litter checks. It also allows us to better notice changes or irregularities.

With either, we offer:

• Daily photos/videos of your baby, of course!

• Flexible visit times.

• WFH company (schedule permitting) - Chester works remotely a few times a week and may be able to spend extra hours with your pet while working at your home. This is typically for NO additional cost, but please enquire to discuss.

• If needed: administration of medicine and/or weekly coat-brushing.

• If requested: mail collection and plant watering for longer bookings.

• If requested: premium high quality photos of your pet taken with our camera (normal daily photos are taken with mobile phones).

💌 Feel free to reach out 💌

If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch and we can arrange a meet and greet first. Finding the right fit is important and we should both feel happy with the arrangement!

Looking forward to hearing from you! Meow ^._.^
