Cat whisperer for sensitive souls

More information about this house sitter

Cat-focused house sitter, kinesiologist, and author with a clinic in Maleny. Calm, observant, and reliable. I specialise in sensitive cats and quiet homes, and I care for every space as my own.

Why I love house sitting

I enjoy exploring new places, connecting with beautiful animals, and helping people who genuinely need what I offer. Creating calm for both animals and owners comes naturally, and I love that I'm helping people have the freedom to truly enjoy their time away.

About Me

Hi, I'm Zoe — a kinesiologist with 30 years of practice and an author based on the Sunshine Coast with a clinic in Maleny. I work some weeks in clinic and other weeks online, which gives me flexibility to house sit across the region. I also enjoy photography as a hobby, which keeps me observant and creative.

I work exclusively with cats because I've found my strength is in understanding feline behavior — the subtle communication, the need for calm presence, and the importance of routine consistency.

My kinesiology background gives me a strong foundation for reading animals. After three decades working with nervous system regulation, I understand how energy and presence affect behavior — something that matters deeply when caring for sensitive or independent cats.

I'm reliable, quiet, and naturally attentive to detail. I keep homes clean and well-maintained, handle light garden care, and communicate clearly so you can actually relax while you're away. I prefer longer sits where I can provide genuine consistency for your cats and home.

What I Offer

- Cat-focused care (specialising in sensitive, anxious, independent, or elderly cats)
- Comfortable with medical routines (daily medication, health monitoring)
- Calm, regulated presence (cats respond well to this)
- Clear communication (regular updates, no guessing)
- Reliable home care (clean, tidy, respectful of your space)
- Light garden and pool maintenance (watering plants, mowing, basic pool care as directed)

I'm non-smoking, have my own transport, and work quietly from home most days. I value peaceful environments and minimal social hosting.


Pet care

I work exclusively with cats because their needs are specific and I've developed real skill with feline behaviour. I'm comfortable with indoor, outdoor, or mixed-access cats, and I work well with all temperaments, including anxious, independent, anti-social, or elderly cats who need space, calm presence, and attentive care. I've also cared for chickens, birds, and guinea pigs in the past, but cats are my primary focus.

New to House Sitting Platforms

I'm new to house sitting platforms but not to caring for homes and animals. I'm currently in a long-term sit on the Sunshine Coast and building my house sitting portfolio.

My Airbnb hosts consistently noted I'm respectful, tidy, and easy to communicate with — the same qualities I bring to house sitting.
