Hi! I’m a 36-year-old animal lover living in South Melbourne. I’m friendly, patient, responsible and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I live in a two-bedroom apartment with my own cat, who has given me plenty of first-hand experience in understanding cats and their different personalities, routines and boundaries. Having my own cat is also one of the reasons I wanted to become a pet sitter. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust when you’re away from home. I would love to provide other cat owners with the reassurance that their furry family member is safe, comfortable and receiving plenty of care and attention while they’re away. My experience with cats comes primarily from caring for my own cat. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, playing, providing companionship and monitoring a cat’s behaviour and general wellbeing. I also understand that some cats are confident and affectionate while others may be shy or nervous in a new environment. I’m happy to give them space and allow them to settle in at their own pace rather than forcing interaction. I offer cat boarding in my home, providing a calm and comfortable home-away-from-home for your cat. I prefer to board only one guest cat, or cats from the same household, at a time, so I can give them plenty of individual attention. During your cat’s stay, I can provide feeding according to your instructions, fresh water, regular litter tray cleaning, playtime and companionship. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible and send you regular photo and message updates so you can see how they are doing. I live in a two-bedroom apartment in South Melbourne with my own cat. Guest cats can initially have their own separate room, with their own food, water, litter tray and comfortable resting space. This gives them a quiet and secure place to settle into their new environment. I understand that not every cat is comfortable meeting another cat, particularly in an unfamiliar environment. I will never force an interaction. Introductions can be done slowly and carefully where appropriate, and guest cats can be kept separately from my own cat if needed. Guest cats will be cared for indoors and will have a safe and comfortable place to sleep. South Melbourne is a lovely, pet-friendly neighbourhood, but for safety I will not take boarding cats outdoors unless this has been specifically discussed and agreed with their owner. Before accepting a booking, I would love to learn about your cat’s personality, feeding routine, litter habits, health needs and how they normally respond to other cats. If your cat requires medication or has additional care needs, please let me know beforehand so we can discuss whether I can safely meet their needs. My availability is flexible, and I only accept bookings when I have enough time to properly supervise and care for your cat. If I notice any unusual changes in their behaviour, appetite or health, I will contact you promptly and follow the emergency or veterinary instructions you provide. My priority is to provide a safe, calm and loving environment where your cat can settle in at their own pace. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same patience and care that I would want someone to give my own. 🐱🐾 I look forward to meeting you and your cat!
