**Booked out for Xmas & New Years.**
I exclusively specialise in cats!
I'm an avid cat lover and have owned and lived with cats my entire life although my most recent cat of 14 years has recently passed away. It's sad but it does make catsitting a bit easier to organise. I treasure the time I get to spend meeting and spending time with your cats, they are so different, funny and weird in their own ways.
I've been house and petsitting for friends and then friends of friends through referrals for years. I've been sitting through Pawshake since 2015.
I have my own car so travel to your place is easy. I prefer Northside bookings and live in Wavell Heights.
As your pet sitter I would take as much care with your pets as I would want taken with my own. I will spend quality time with your pet; play, attention, affection I'm a pro at cleaning litter boxes, dishing out meals and refreshing water. I will take photos and send you daily updates. When doing house visits the time I spend with your pets will always be anough to do everything your pet needs and to give them quality attention and affection.
I do not like to set specific time limits on housevisits as sometimes I have more time available to spend with them, sometimes it is not apparent until I am there and you are away that the cat needs extra time to relax before seeking affection. Alternatively some cats are particularly nervous and do not want me around for long or will not eat while i'm in the house. Rest assured, I tailor my visits to you and your pets needs which we discuss in our meet and greet.
When I'm housesitting for you, I work Monday to Friday from 7-3pm. Outside of those hours I am at your place and with your cat: afterwork, overnight, before work. On the weekends I am with your cat the majority of every day.
I bring in the mail, any parcels and water plants. I follow the house security you advise me to and lock up when I'm in your home. As a women who has lived alone and housesits alone I am extra conscious of these things!
If your pets behaviour seems unusual or worrying to me I will contact you for advice.
Before you leave we can have a meet and greet. I'd like to meet your animals first with you around so I can learn their daily habits, their specific needs, what you require from me and how best to care for them.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Heather stayed in our home and looked after our babies when we went overseas for 10 days. We got daily updates and photos and the kitties looked happy and relaxed. We came home to 2 chilled out and happy kitties, whilst I could see they missed us it looks like they had a great time with Heather. Thanks so much again! Such a great peace of mind knowing they had company and were well looked after! Would definitely book again if we do any more trips in the future. Thanks Heather 🙏🏽
We were meant to be going away but cancelled it and just went out for ice cream. Heather still came over and spent some time with our kitties getting them used to her before an overseas trip we are about to go on. We came home to happy kitties thanks Heather!
