About
Updated November 2023 I am currently back home, located in Melbourne, Victoria and no longer available for housesitting in Canberra. I do not have availability over the Christmas/New Year break. Will update my profile content shortly. Joanne
Joanne was the perfect house sitter. She managed my two indulged pets with understanding and a sense of humour. She obviously has an interest in cats and a lot of knowledge about and tolerance for their behaviour. Joanne also tended to the needs of my small dog in a caring and considerate way. Communication with Joanne was excellent and I was kept informed of how things were going at all times. I came home to a clean house and some afternoon tea complete with a new mug. Very thoughtful.

Jo was a wonderful house and pet sitter! She took excellent care of our cats who she affectionately referred to as ‘the tribe’. Jo provided us with regular updates on their antics via text message and we had a relaxing holiday knowing that our pets were being so well looked after. Jo left our house spotlessly clean and tidy. We cannot recommend Jo highly enough and we hope that she is available to house sit the next time we travel!

Joanne looked after our cat, chickens, house and garden for 4 weeks in January 2019. I would highly recommend Jo as a very thoughtful, organised, reliable and caring house sitter. Jo kept us informed of how things were going while we were away, sent photos of our cat to reassure us that she (the cat!) was OK, and went above and beyond our expectations in all regards. Joanne accepted our request on short notice, and we couldn't believe our luck in finding a cat-lover, and willing chicken wrangler :-) Jo was the first house sitter we have ever engaged through a house-sitting service, and we couldn't have wished for a better result.

Joanne was the perfect housesitter. It felt like we had known her for years and we were very comfortable entrusting the care of our pets and home to her. She is a lovely lady who kept us up to date with how our fur-kids were tracking while we were away. She left our home in an amazingly clean and tidy state and we would highly recommend her.

Joanne is a wonderful cat and house sitter. She gave our cat lots of care and attention and kept us in the loop about what was happening at home, via regular information and photos. Joanne looked after our home, going way beyond her “call of duty”, including with cleaning, gardening, buying additional food for our feline friend, and buying gifts for us. We have no hesitation in recommending Joanne to people needing their home and pets cared for, and we will have her at our place again. Geri and Michael
