Reliable House Sitter & Remote Illustrator - Home Weekdays

Hi, I’m Troy!

I’m a remote illustrator, which means I work from home most weekdays and can spend plenty of time keeping pets company while house sitting. This setup works really well for animals that are used to having someone around during the day.

Hi, I’m Troy!

I’m a remote illustrator, which means I work from home most weekdays and can spend plenty of time keeping pets company while house sitting. This setup works really well for animals that are used to having someone around during the day.


I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats for friends and family. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, and any specific routines your pet is used to. I understand how important consistency is for pets when their owners are away.


A typical day for me usually includes working from my laptop during the day, which allows me to be present at home most of the time. I take breaks throughout the day for walks, feeding, and giving pets attention. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well.


I’m respectful, tidy, and take pride in looking after both your home and your pets. My goal is to make sure everything feels calm and normal for them while you’re away.

Pet care

I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping to established routines. I understand how important it is for pets to feel secure in their own environment.

Review

Troy did a fantastic job. He was really easy to organise with and great with communication. When we were away we had updates from him but not too many so as we were able to take our mind off the cats and enjoy our break. Our cats were very well looked after and loved having him around. House was left spotless and clean. Would highly recommend and Troy is welcome back anytime.
