(Update Sept 2026: due to travelling to visit my elderly mum in NSW, I cannot accept bookings less than 5 nights long.)

You can't fake love with pets and they know I love having them around.

I have lived with fur-babies and feathered-friends most my life, but have none in my home, so that's why I housesit for those who do. In exchange for giving them the attention they need, they reward me with love, cuddles and exercise, especially when I'm taking them for walks along the beaches and parks.

I've been officially in-home pet-sitting since 2017. Currently based on the southside of Brisbane I work online 3 days a week as a Community Engagement Officer for FosterCare Sports. I sell happiness, connecting children in care with welcoming sports clubs that provide them a sense of belonging and self-confidence. 

This requires me to be at my laptop for 8 hours on a Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.

Outside of work, I'm passionate about cooking, cultures and living healthily on both a spiritual and physical level. I love to learn from others, and focus on my own personal growth.

As someone tapped into my own intuition, I enjoy helping others get unstuck by using my gift of reading cards to help them move forward, while intuitively learning my own lessons from the Universe as I go.

To help myself stay connected, I practice meditation, yoga/Thai Chi, movement, singing/songwriting, playing guitar, painting, walking, exploring, swimming, cooking, travel, being with my children and grandchildren, and living life to the full however I can.

Due to my work and creative pursuits, I am unable to give pets under two years the one-on-one time they need. I am more suited to mature animals who are used to their owners working for up to 8 hours a day, and thriving on all the cuddles we share when I can focus on them in the evenings.

Two small to medium sized dogs at once is my limit as I find it difficult to hold onto the bigger more excitable ones, especially when they chase after other animals. Cats, birds, and less adventurous pets, are no problem. I can transport pets to the dog parks, vet, and groomers if necessary. 

Note: that when I take dogs outside they are always on-leash as I do not trust they will recognise my voice calling them back if they run off. #safetyfirst

I provide in-home petsitting services on the southside of Brisbane because that is where my daughters and grandchildren live. I travel often to visit my elderly mum in regional NSW so I'm on the road alot.

I am available to meet face-to-face depending on where you are, and where I am at the time, or via an online video call (e.g. Zoom, Messenger.)

What I request from you as the Home/Pet Owner, is a warm bed, use of electricity, water, bathroom, kitchen and laundry amenities, a parking space, and access to a reliable internet service if it's a rural property (otherwise I tether to my phone in the city.)

Essential: is a well-written emergency action plan in case anything unlikely crops up while you are away, and instructions for caring for your pet, garden (watering only), and rubbish bin day. Please include exact times for feeding and exercise and any instructions for administering medicine. 

Regarding security: I will not allow anyone else entrance to your property without your permission. If my children or friends want to drop by I will ask your permission first and accept all responsibility while they are there. (Strictly no parties.) This means I do not have the capacity to supervise tradespeople, even ones related to you, so please do not book any repairs/renovations during my stay. (Oddly enough, it has happened.)

When we meet, please clarify the maximum hours you are comfortable with your pet being on their own, and where you would like me to sleep. I am happy to share the bed with your fur-baby if that is what they are used to and it does not interrupt my much-needed sleep. (An overtired pet-sitter puts your pets at risk.)

Remember: I have grandchildren to visit, shopping to do, and the beach is always calling me (my happy place) so I can't always be at home. 

I will keep your home in the condition you left it in, your pets happy and safe, and enable you to fully enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

I look forward to meeting you and your gorgeous fur-family soon.
