About Katie

Hi there,

Looking to housesit over Christmas in Melbourne or surrounding area 😊

UPDATE : From the 26th of August I will be leaving Brisbane to complete the Lap of Australia. I will be heading south from Brisbane with no end date. I would love to keep house siting and walking while I am exploring this beautiful country.

A-bit about me

I'm a certified animal lover.

Have completed a level 3 NCEA animal care course back in 2017 and was top overall student. Have managed a cattery in 2018. Meow manner in Meanee, New Zealand.

Available for house sitting your pet at your place or daily visits.

Including daily pictures and updates of your pet.

Feeding daily plus filling up bowls with fresh water. Dog washing and brushing available.

Offering daily dog walks for an hour a day in local parks with lots of trees and nature. Longer walks are available for active dogs. Half rate for extra dog.

I grew up lucky enough with a mother who also is a huge animal lover so have had many beloved pets/ family members from Guinea pigs to horses. Have always adopted our dogs from SPCA so am good at understanding and working with dogs with special needs.

Other animals I have worked with, brought up rabbits,goats,sheep,cats, kittens, puppy's, dogs, horses. Farm kid!

Thank you

Katie was a wonderful fit for our anxious dog, Sunny. She followed our instructions to the letter and took her time to let Sunny settle in to her. Katie was respectful of our home and I would have her stay and look after Sunny anytime. Thanks Katie.

Familiar with dog training techniques
Dogs: All my dogs have been rescued from SPCA. I have trained one of my dogs from being extremely excited and aggregated around other dogs in the park to being able to calmly walk past with lots of hours of work talking to each other and treat rewards. I’m confident at picking up body language and understanding the dogs needs
