Our home

We’re looking for someone honest and reliable to take care of our cat, and family home while we are away.
Our cat is very easy going, likes pats on her terms and enjoys sleeping in the sun.
Our house is in a private area, away from busy roads, very peaceful and sunny. The garden is low maintenance, and we’d like the sitter to water some plants.
A supermarket and local cafes and restaurants are less than 10mins walk.
The dates can be flexible within the date listed.

favoriteWhat we love about our area

We love living in our area as it is close to the nearby shops and amenities in Mornington, only a 5 minute drive to town, and there are bus services close by.
We are up a private driveway (shared with 2 other homes), away from the main road it is very quiet with lots of bird life.

Very much enjoyed this house sit and looking after Lexie! The house was spacious and clean, very peaceful. Lexi needed a bit of time to get used to me, and enjoyed pats the most after being outside. Alli showed me around the day before, which was very nice😊 Thank you so much!
Great sit - the house is situated so close to Mornington's local shops, but also just a quick car ride down the hill into town! Very clean and tidy house and great communication from Alli - thanks so much!
Enjoyed my stay. Cosy house, with nice views. Lexi was very cruisey. Thank you! would be happy to house sit again :)
We enjoyed house-sitting Alli's lovely house. The home is relaxing and comfortable with interesting views, and is very handy to local shops. Communication with the owners was clear and responsive. Highly recommend this sit. Thanks for having us :)
