Tracy was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She was so attentive to their needs and truly cared for them as if they were her own. She spent time playing with them, brought toys to keep them entertained, and even put on “cat TV” for our indoor cats, which they clearly loved. It was obvious when we got home that they had been well looked after, they genuinely miss her! The house was left in perfect condition, tidy and exactly as we left it.

Tracey was also fantastic with updates, giving us peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better house and pet sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Thank you Charlotte and Sam. I miss them to, they are such a delight!
Tracy did a great job of making sure our cat was happy and well looked after , as well as leaving our house super clean. Thanks Tracy!!
We thoroughly recommend Tracy for a house sit. Our cat will also support this! We came home to our place being perfectly clean and tidy. Our cat was well looked after. Tracy kept us up to date whilst we were away and sent us the all important cat pics!
Tracy did an excellent job looking after our cat and home. She communicated well before, during and after the housesitting period (2 months). She went the extra mile by coming to visit our cat a few times before we left, in order to make the transition easier. Our cat was happy while we were away and when we returned. The house was left very tidy. We would have Tracy housesitter for us again.

Tracy was a great choice. From first contact to last day. The house was clean and tidy my cat's were well fed happy and relaxed. Tracy followed all instructions and it was a pleasure to come back to a clean tidy house. Would highly recommend Tracy.
From Aussie House Sitters
Tracy was great , I came home to the house just as I’d left it which was lovely my birds were happy and well cared for. Tracy communicated with me about an internet problem which made her stay a little tedious. Tracy is great I can highly recommend her for house and pet sitting. Greatly appreciated.

We would love to have Tracy back at our home again. We highly recommend Tracy to anyone who wants a responsible, caring and aware human being to look after their home and pets.
From Aussie House Sitters
Tracy has a natural affinity with animals, my cat Sally was naturally drawn to her much to my pleasure. She was settled and happy on my return, Tracy is a good communicator, kept the house clean and tidy, and pot plants watered. I would be happy to have her come back for another sit, thanks Tracy
From Aussie House Sitters
Purrfect !! Tracy was great with our cats and she made 3 new friends. They were extremely well looked after. The house was spotless when we arrived home and the garden was cared for as requested. Communicating with Tracy was a breeze and she was very good to work with. We would recommend her in a heartbeat and she will be our first port of call next time we need a sitter. Thank you Tracy. 10/10.
Thank you Ed and Jennifer, it was a pleasure to look after your furbabies.

Tracy has been amazing with the cats, keeping us posted with photos from time to time. Very good care of the garden and house, We would have Tracy house sit our place again in the future without any hesitation. I recommend her 100%. Delphine and Steve
From Aussie House Sitters
Thank you so much Tracy for taking such good care of Boo while we were away. It was lovely meeting you before our sit and I felt completely relaxed knowing Boo was being well cared for. Our house was immaculate when we returned from holidays. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Tracy.
From Aussie House Sitters
Tracy has been a very good and nice sitter. She did a good job looking after the house and out pet Luna. Luna is not the easiest cat to deal with, so well done. Happy to have her sit again.
From Aussie House Sitters
Tracy is in demand, and we struck it lucky when our dates aligned and were able to book Tracy for a mini get away. Tracy is professional, whilst being caring and down to earth which makes making arrangements easy. We really liked Tracy's warm and friendly nature and so did Tiger and Teddy. We came home to a clean house, and two very happy boys. Thanks Tracy
Thank you! It was a pleasure to spend the weekend with the boys. :)
From Aussie House Sitters
Thank you Tracy for your care and attention to detail. We really loved receiving daily updates from you and so appreciated the regular photos of our cats which we missed so much while we were away. You left our home clean and tidy and took good care of our garden - it was a pleasure to come home to. You even brought in our dry laundry and folded it neater than I ever do! We will certainly have you back on our next trip away. Best wishes. Kate
From Aussie House Sitters
We would highly recommend Tracey. Not only was our home clean and tidy, but our garden also looked great and 'Pearl and Squeek' were both happy and healthy. I wouldn't hesitate in asking Tracey again. So once again, a big 'Thankyou' Tracey so much for looking after our home and our furbabies. :)
From Aussie House Sitters
We highly recommend Tracy as a house/pet sitter. Communication was great from the start, during our time away and upon our return. The house was left immaculate and most importantly our beloved kitties were happy, content and well cared for.
Tracy was house sitting for us until 31 August. The Bubble with Australia was cancelled late July, and we couldn't return until 31 October!! Throughout this period Tracy remained totally loyal , meaning she had to cancel later house sits. Obviously a difficult decision, but she maintained excellent communications during what was a slightly unnerving period for us all.

Our cat Freddie had a friend for life and almost took over her lap! Obviously, Tracy related so well with him. On arriving home the whole section and house were immaculate. Naturally, we have no problem giving Tracy an unreserved recommendation!!

Tracy has been such a conscientious house sitter, looking after our cat like he was her own! Our house was immaculate when we got home and our cat was so relaxed and contented - thanks Tracy!
Tracy house-sat for me in February this year and provided exceptional care for my little Burmese cat who was quite ill. She sought additional food that she thought he might eat (other than what I left) and overall went well beyond what was necessary. I can highly recommend Tracy as a house sitter..
Tracey did a great job looking after our house, garden and cats for 10 days. Tracey followed all the instructions we left and was proactive communicating with us. Our cats were calm and happy. We were able to relax knowing that Tracey had everything in hand.
Tracy was very accommodating and understanding of the needs of our stay. My biggest concern was our stray kitten who was yet to come inside - but Tracy looked after her like her own. Her communication and house care were beyond anything I could have expected. I will be reaching out to her again in the future whenever we need someone to help. I would highly recommend Tracy. Happy New Year.
Tracy was a great find as a housesitter - so much that we've already invited her to come back and sit for us again next year! She was friendly and communicative, willing to come and visit us before the sit started (we like to meet people first), careful and caring of the house and plants, and was especially attentive and caring of our animals. She also coped admirably when one of our mama ducks surprised us all with the arrival of 6 new babies. We would definitely recommend Tracy.

Tracy did a fabulous job of looking after our dog and fish for a weekend. The house was immaculate when we got home. Tracy was easy to communicate and I'd love to have her sit again for us.
From Aussie House Sitters
Tracy recently house sat for me for 2 weeks & took excellent care of my naughty spoilt cat & 2 Love birds. The house & pot plants were as I left them. I would definitely recommend Tracy & hope to have her back again.

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
