EXPERIENCED Sitter Cats & Small Dogs

More information about this house sitter

My name is Heather. I am 31 years old from the UK.
Looking for my homes from home! I am on my 26th consecutive week of house sittings in Perth and they have all gone perfectly. See my wonderful reviews! Both in the review section and in my pictures from my other sitting platform. Unfortunately due to limited pictures I can upload I can not show you all 10 5 star star reviews on my other platform. However very happy to show you them in person :)

Knowing I’ve made things so easy for homeowners and looked after their pets as if they are my own has been incredibly rewarding. You might even find your garden is tidier than when you left it (got green fingers) and your home is pristine upon your return.

***Why am I choosing to complete house sits? ***.
Well I love pets to start with and its been a huge factor in me being able to move passed feeling a bit home sick. ( I spent almost 3 months in a campervan March - May travelling east coast so home amenities are very desirable.) so I’m used to being in different environments. I am at the age where I prefer comfort :)

Unexpectedly I ended up in Perth but I am so happy I am here. I am loving Perth and would consider living here for the long gevardy. House sitting has been fantastic for me. It’s the element of being able to experience living in different neighbourhoods, giving and receiving love from pets and helping someone out. Met such wonderful owners along the way.

***Why I should be chosen as your sitter***
I am really good with pets and always have been. I’m a natural. I have a nurturing and loving nature, whom pets just instantly warm to. It’s certainly the reason I have had recent success in confirming my latest sittings. The reactions from the pet(s) have been so positive.

When it comes to trusting a stranger to look after your pets , i completely appreciate it may be daunting. Please however be rest assured I am a really caring, trustworthy and considerate individual who will take great care of your home. When it comes to your loving pet(s) I promise I will look after them as my own. Pets are not just pets they are a member of the family.

*** How I ended up doing sittings in Perth***
I arrived in Australia in March to complete a 6 month volunteer position travelling all around Australia living in a camper van. Due to things out of my control my contract unexpectedly ended in May. The panic what next! Although it was incredibly sad at the time it gave me an opportunity to try something new. So I brainstormed and thought… what is going to make me happiest…
1. I love looking after pets and being in the presence of pets.
2. I love living in a home.
As they say when one door closes another door opens. I have enjoyed every moment and certainly been my most happiest since I have been in Australia.

I have a lot of experience in looking after cats (15 years) and dogs (6 years +). I own a 6 year old 3kg Pomeranian and have done so since he was just 12 weeks. My very treasured boy (who I miss dearly) is with my wonderful parents back in the UK currently while I travel and experience life in Australia. It was extremely hard to leave him but my mum is the absolute best with my dog, so I can rest easy.

I also have great experience in handling and looking after cats. I had two family pets (cats) from kittens- one to aged 11 and the other 15. I handled and helped care for everyday and would be their sole carer when parents went away. Looking after cats has certainly been the reason I prefer little pets :).

The house sitting location ideally needs to be in close proximity to Perth City (ideally within 45mins travel time) and good catchment of public transport (buses/train). (Been very impressed by the public transport so far). I do hold an Australian driving permit and UK driving licence if there was an unexpected emergency. Please note I work just 3 days in Jollimont. Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday 9-3 so your fur baby(s) will not be left too long.

It is important your pet is comfortable for your peace of mind. As my preference I like to make the effort and meet you at your home or your preference somewhere local to you. It’s completely up to you. It’s a great opportunity to see my interaction with your loving pet(s).

I am on a holiday visa for my first year currently. I will be obtaining my second year visa and staying in 2026. It may be in fact from doing your sitting you may want to choose me for your future sittings if and when you choose to have a holiday.

Please do not hesitate to make contact with me if you think I would be a good fit. I am very willing to make the effort to meet you at your home so we can speak in person and you can see my interaction with your pet(s).

Looking forward to experiencing my homes from home. :) hopefully you are my next :)
