Mature, reliable, home during day

65, Writer/researcher

AVAILABLE FOR XMAS 2024/ JAN 2025. NOW CHARGING $50 PER DAY INCLUDING WALKS
I'm a mature, reliable, responsible person who loves dogs and cats - in fact animals of all types - and can be trusted to take good care of them. This includes pets with special needs including medication and older pets.

I no longer have any pets, but over the past 32 years have had 6 cats, 6 rabbits, 2 rats and 2 dogs - not all at the same time!

One of the cats was deaf and brain damaged and I nursed him through a few illnesses. He died at 16. Both dogs lived til their 14th year and had arthritis, one severely. So I am experienced at looking after senior and special needs pets.

I have fostered 7 puppies and looked after small to medium dogs, cats, chickens and one canary!

I work at home so I can be with pets all day. I am happy with up to two medium to large dogs or 3 small dogs, and am happy to walk them daily. I am also happy to have pets sleep on my bed (as long as there is still room for me!) and to give lots of cuddles.

I have a small camper van so need space to park that. I'm happy to do a meet and greet before agreeing on the house sit if it is close to where I am at the time. Also happy to do a video or audio call to discuss your needs. I am a non-smoker.

This was our first time away when I wasn't anxious about leaving Bella. Kaye is a confident sitter who is clearly extra diligent. To have her experience with dogs is so valuable. Kaye's communication is second to none with the perfect amount of updates and pics too. We are so pleased Kaye enjoyed her stay and time with Bella. We will def be have her back again.

I could not speak highly enough of Kaye! My biggest stress about going on holiday was our pets (3 dogs and 2 cats) and Kaye was fantastic and made be feel at ease! She came and did an initial meet and greet which really helped (especially as I had a very nervous dog). Once we went on holiday we received regular updates which was just awesome! I would absolutely recommend Kaye to anyone to housesit and she definitely loves her animals and takes really good care of them!

Kaye is an engaging person with excellent communication skills. Every day, without me asking, she sent me photos of my boy out and about. She and Redford took to each other instantly and he was very comfortable with her. He remained so despite being upset when I was leaving. She is obviously experienced with dogs. Kaye was reliable - she followed my instructions for Red's care and left my home in a very tidy condition. Kaye's lovely dovely. I highly recommend her.

Excuse the dates, it won't let me change them. Kaye house and pet sat for me 8-18 Dec and she was a miracle worker, the anxiety ridden oh my god it's a stranger kitty even came inside to eat while Kaye was in the kitchen. The communication was on point, the house was spick and span when I returned and everybody was well fed and content. Honestly couldn't have asked for better, Kaye is a big tick and well recommended from me, you can be sure your pets are in good hands. Thanks Kaye, your ... MORE

Faye looked after our house and three dogs for nearly two weeks. She contacted us days before us leaving on the off-chance we hadn't found a house sitter yet. This was a timely call for us as we already had our dogs booked in for a dog kennel and given up on a house sitter. Faye called in the same day to meet us. While we were away Faye kept us up to date on a daily basis on how things were going, including photos. She took the dogs for walks to the beach just about every day which kept them ... MORE

No rating We didn't get to meet Kaye before she came to house sit for us, but I really wish now that we did. Her communication with us was excellent and concise. She let us know when she arrived, and advised us when she had left - making sure to tuck in the dogs before she did so. I think Arnie and Dash totally thrived under Kaye's loving attention - and they probably wish she was still here! Thank you Kaye for house sitting for us, I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone. Even though we ... MORE
