I am available to care for your treasured pets and home.

I currently share my time between Canberra and Melbourne for work and am seeking longer term house sitting opportunities in Canberra, ideally 2+ weeks and preferably around one month in duration. I am particularly interested in homes located within approximately 20–30 minutes of Canberra City.

I work in a professional role in Canberra city 4 days pw and am clean, respectful, reliable, and very house proud.

Having previously used pet sitting services for my own pets and home, I understand exactly what pet owners need for complete peace of mind while they are away. I know how important it is to keep owners informed with regular updates and photos of their beloved pets, while also ensuring their home remains secure, tidy, and well cared for.

Most importantly, I will care for your pets as if they were my own. Enjoying as many cuddles as they like to give!

I enjoy getting outdoors for walks around local parks, nature reserves, and neighbourhood streets, and genuinely love spending quality time with animals. I am also happy to assist with day-to-day household tasks such as collecting mail, watering plants, refreshing litter trays, and following any specific care instructions for your pets and home.

I understand the importance of keeping pets in their familiar surroundings and routines so they feel safe, settled, and comfortable while you are away.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Warm regards

Karen

Testimonial:

Pet Owner Lucy from Brighton:

"Karen was fab. I don't think we could have found a better person to look after our labrador. She was proactive and responsive even before she did the house sit. While we were overseas we had to extend our stay by 5 days and Karen was kind enough to stay on in our place. We received timely updates on how he was and what he was doing including lots of pictures.

He also was a little poorly while we were away and Karen called the vet and took great care of him. When we returned after the 6 weeks our house was immaculate and we could tell that Rolo had been well cared for. She even got him a new jacket for walking in the rain.

If I could give a higher mark I would. Highly recommend Karen if you are looking for an honest, caring person who is completely reliable."
