About Kim

Hi there,

I’m Kim, a thoughtful, reliable, caring pet sitter who knows how anxious it can be to leave behind your fur babies and in the care of a sitter. This is why I’m committed to loving and caring for your pets as if they were my own. 

I live in Marrickville with my hubby, two daughters, aged 12 and nine, and our little boys, Ollie and Teddy, super-spoiled silver tabbies rescued from a life on the streets. 

While my life centres around felines, I was once mum to Smokey, an energetic and clever blue heeler whose life I shared for 15 years. I also grew up with a pet parrot, who knew me by name and loved pats and kisses! We now have four goldfish who live in our backyard pond, Gillie, Caviar, Bubbles and Swimmy. 

Pets are a joy to me, for their unique personalities, entertaining antics, amazing instincts and the magical bond they create between us. I’m continually inspired by those who rescue and foster animals in need and aspire to show the same care and compassion as these amazing people. I hope you’ll be reassured that your pets are safe, loved and pampered while you’re away so that you can enjoy a worry-free holiday.

I service Marrickville and neighbouring suburbs. 

I offer one home visit a day to feed, refresh water, clean litter, play, brush, walk, cuddle, chat, visit the outdoors together, and fulfil any further requirements your pet(s) need. 

I will spend at least 30-40 minutes with your pet(s) and send you photo updates via text so you can be assured that all is well. 

I can also bring in your mail, water your plants and wheel in/out your bins. 

I am available for both short and long-term bookings. I enjoy getting to know your pets and becoming a trusted friend to them.

Please contact me for a free meet and greet.

Thank you for your consideration. I hope I can be of assistance.

Kim

Kim was kind to my shy and nervous cat and won her over.

It was our first time using a pet sitting service and thanks to Kim it was a fantastic experience. We received photo updates morning and evening which gave us peace of mind about our decision to leave the cats at home. Kim is a lovely person and an animal lover who looked after our two indoor cats with great care. She spent time with them each visit to make sure all their holistic needs were met. We would happily recommend Kim to anyone looking for a pet sitter! And would definitely book Kim’s services again :)

Familiar with dog training techniques
My approach to meeting and caring for new pets is initially one of calm observation so that they can recognise that I'm a gentle person who will be there ongoing carer while their family is away. I take time to sit and speak gently while they explore my presence through smell, voice and touch. This also allows me to read their body language to determine their temperament and approach them accordingly. Once we've met and familiarity is established, we can feed, play, cuddle and chat.
