About Chester and Michelle

** Easter 2026 (Apr 2-7) **

It's not too late to start planning for Easter! We still have capacity for all the easter dates! :)

**About Us**

We’re an international couple who calls Melbourne our home. We originally struggled to find a good cat sitter for our own cat (Indy) so this led us down the road of becoming cat sitters ourselves!

We are happy to travel to neighbouring suburbs such as West Melbourne, Kensington, Parkville, Moonee Ponds etc.

We own a 5 year old cat named Indy (well.. actually he owns us) who we baby far too much. When we’re not looking after him, we’re cooking up a storm, playing board games or working on our pet projects (we have a cat food review website for Australia - indyreviewscatfood.com). We specialize in cats but have previous experiences with dogs (Michelle owned a dog), rabbits & fish as well as volunteering at the SPCA (mostly dogs).

**Pricing Notes**

Prices are for up to suburbs within a 5km radius of North Melbourne. Feel free to get in touch about details.

If you are outside this area, we can provide pet sitting at a custom rate/additional travel cost to cover additional travel time. Happy to discuss what's possible!

**What we offer**

• Visits (once or twice a day, 1 visit ~40 mins, 2 visits ~30 mins each): feeding, litter check/change, playtime and general social interaction (aka them ignoring us while we look on), general tidying/cleanup

• House sitting with the pet (same as above but will be staying over at the house and while one of us works (Chester WFH a few times a week that can be a benefit if you require someone around for most of the day/evening). Additional time is spent on social interactions, extra cuddles, more frequent litter checks and ability to notice changes/irregularities easier)

• Prices include up to 2 cats

• Daily photo/videos of your baby included of course!

• Happy to collect mail/water plants if you require

Additional services (some for additional cost - discuss as needed)

• Dog feeding/walking/playtime (to be discussed if dog care if required alongside cat)

• Administering medicine/special foods (e.g. raw, medicine in food etc.)

• Weekly grooming as needed

• Teeth brushing (if your cat can take it!)

**Why we're different**

• Attention to detail pet sitting following your instructions as you desire. Expect excellent communication before, during and after the pet sitting booking. Proactive and ready to help if your trip is disrupted or changed!

• Where possible we always try to offer some suggestions/recommendations at the end of pet sitting based on our experiences/observations. Our goal is to make you and your pet's life better!

• If you are in our normal service area, we are happy to offer WFH at your place for a portion of the pet sitting duration (schedule permitting) if you want your pet to have company during the day. This is for NO additional cost but please enquire for further details.

• Premium high quality photos taken on our camera of your babies on request (Got a new camera so always an excuse to use it!) (normal daily photos are pixel 7 phone photos)

**Why you want us as your sitter**

We know how tough it is to leave your pets behind and we hope we can make the time away as painless as possible. 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 confident cat!

We’re not just pet sitters! We want to build a relationship with both you and your pets so we're all on the same page. We’re happy to discuss any specifics in routine, feeding etc as needed. If all this sounds good to you or 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 everyone should be happy. Looking forward to hearing from you! Meow ^._.^
