Caring and reliable Home + Pet Sitter

More information about this house sitter

Short Bio:
Hi, I’m Karin — a caring, mature and reliable woman who is based in Sydney. I love animals of all personalities, and I’m experienced with small dogs, cats, chickens, plants and home care. I’m tidy, respectful, a great communicator, and I keep pets’ routines consistent, so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m a non-smoker, health-conscious, and always leave a home spotlessly clean. I’d be delighted to look after your home and furry family.

About Me:
I’m a warm-hearted, grounded woman living on Sydney. I’ve spent my life creating welcoming homes, caring for animals, and showing up with consistency, compassion, empathy, and good humour.
I’m naturally a genuinely affectionate person who notices if a pet seems out of sorts and always leaves spaces neat and clean. I love animals of all temperaments, from energetic pups to gentle senior cats, and I take pride in maintaining calm, predictable routines that keep them feeling safe while you’re away.
I live a peaceful, relaxed yet organised life, I enjoy walks & pool and ocean swims for exercise, a good book or movie, and meaningful conversations. I also appreciate quiet evenings, tidy spaces, and the feeling of being trusted with someone’s much-loved home.

I’m a young, retired teacher who’s looking for a peaceful, purpose-filled way to achieve a relaxing, meaningful role — especially with furry friends to cuddle
I’ve always loved animals, and in retirement, I’m excited by the idea of caring for pets in a calm, home-based setting. Mindahome is the perfect job: it gives me the chance to nurture animals, build trust with pet parents, and bring a sense of routine and care into their lives.


Why You’ll Feel at Ease with Me:
• Mature, responsible, and dependable — you can rely on me.
• Excellent communicator — regular updates, photos, and full transparency.
• Respectful and tidy — your home will feel cared for, not just occupied.
• Honest, thoughtful and sincere - in carrying out Owner’s wishes
• Animal-attuned — sensitive to personality, supportive of routines, needs and comfort.
• Soothing and compassionate energy — especially good for anxious pets or quiet households. I am sensitive to pets’ needs and sympathetic if they are missing their owner.
• Non-smoker, health-conscious, and considerate with neighbours.

Pet Care Experience:
I’ve cared for-
• Dogs (small breeds)
• Cats (independent, affectionate, senior and special-care)
• Chickens
• Indoor plants, balconies, gardens and small veggie patches

Home Care & Practical Skills:
• Housekeeping, laundry, light gardening
• Managing bins, mail, parcels
• Keeping the home secure and lived-in
• Watering gardens & maintaining indoor plants
• Remote communication & regular check-ins

My Values:
I believe in warmth, kindness, reliability, sincerity and clear communication. When I care for someone’s space, I am trustworthy and dependable - I see it as a way of giving people peace of mind while they travel or visit family. Your home and pets will be treated with deep respect and genuine affection. I’m a pet – lover who is in-touch with animals and their environments.
I’m comfortable with medication routines, specific feeding requirements, and any extra quirks pets might have — I enjoy learning their personalities and rhythms.

What I’m Looking For:
• Sits that let me stay in one place from a few days to a few weeks or months — enough to really connect with the pets.
• Pets that appreciate gentle care, quiet companionship, and someone who will give them time, patience, and affection.
• A home where I can maintain a peaceful presence, look after the house, and provide consistent love and routine for the animals.
I’m available for sits of 1–4 weeks (longer by arrangement) and would love to care for your home and pets as if they were my own.

A Friendly Sign-Off:
I’d love to meet your furry (or feathered!) family and make your time away restful, knowing everything back home is safe, settled, and loved.
Please feel free to ask me any questions.

Warm regards,
