Hi, I’m Kathy. I’m a friendly, reliable pet sitter who genuinely enjoys giving animals a calm, comfortable home environment while their owners are away. I’m retired now after many years in property management and nannying, and I love the slower, more connected lifestyle that pet sitting brings. I’m based in Ballarat, but I love travelling far and wide, so I can come to you wherever you are in Victoria. Over the last four years of house sitting, I’ve cared for many pets — including a full litter of puppies for two weeks — and I’m always gentle, patient, and attentive. I take the time to understand each animal’s personality and keep their routine steady so they feel safe and relaxed. Friends and clients I’ve sat for are happy to act as references. I travel with my little dog, who is quiet, well‑mannered, and great with other animals. He stays close to me, doesn’t jump or play with other pets, and doesn’t need an enclosed yard. I also travel with my caravan, so I do require a space for that. I have a current police check. I’m happy to follow medication schedules, special feeding requirements, and any care instructions needed to keep your pets healthy and comfortable. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and providing regular supervision, and I’ll always let you know if I need to be away for a short period. I also take pride in looking after clients’ homes, making sure doors, gates, and windows are secure and that everything is kept tidy and well cared for while you’re away. If you’re heading off on holiday and want your pets to feel calm, secure, and genuinely cared for, I’d love to help.
