Secure sitter duo

More information about this house sitter

I'm Madelene, along with my wonderful 10 year and a half year old son!
My roots trace back to Irish and Scottish heritage, but I’ve called Australia home for 26 years, with the last 19 spent in the beautiful Bayside community of Victoria.
I'm a nurturing soul, known for my kindness, respect, and caring nature. While I tend to be a bit introverted, I'm always happy to engage with neighbours and furry friends.
My work as a sound healing and reiki therapist takes me to Sandringham one day a week and I also work 1-2 days a week in Hampton.
My favourite moments are spent at home cooking and adventuring with my son, enjoying our time together.
We adore the Bayside and surrounding community and all its delights. We both love animals and would be thrilled to keep your pet/s company while you're away. Or, your home, plants and garden.
With our current rental home being sold, we saw an opportunity to extend our adventures by house sitting in Bayside and surrounding areas. Almost 2 years in… and we are still enjoying getting to meet great people and their lovely pets.

My role as a mother and past pet owner, along with my current experience as a pet sitter, has equipped me well for this responsibility. I'm confident in my ability to provide a safe and loving environment for your home and cherished pets.
In addition to caring for your furry friends, I'm more than happy to tend to any plants or other precious belongings that require attention while you're away.
Your home will be in capable hands, and I'll ensure everything is as clean and well taken care of during your absence.
References and police check can be provided.

We're looking forward to meeting you and your pets soon and creating wonderful memories together.

Please get in touch if you’d like to chat and see if we feel like the right fit.

Madelene and Finley

Recent review from our most recent housesit February 2026…

We feel so fortunate to have had Maddy and Finley look after our home and cat for 8 months while we were away. They treated our house with genuine care and respect and, most importantly, looked after our cat, Garfield, as if he were their own.

During our travels, Maddy went above and beyond by assisting our real estate agent, coordinating with tradies, and supporting the home staging company to prepare our house for sale… all while living there. This level of care, responsibility, and initiative meant so much to us and made a potentially stressful process feel seamless from afar.

Her regular updates, along with photos and videos, gave us real peace of mind throughout our time away. Coming home to a spotless house and a calm, happy cat was an incredible feeling…we truly couldn’t have asked for better care.

We feel incredibly grateful to have had Maddy and Finley.
