About

Hi my name is Karen, I am a healthy, mature nurse with a young attitude, looking for an alternative to renting. I have 2 adult children & try to divide my time between Melb & Adelaide, so that I am in their lives without cramping their space!!!!!

I know how stressful it is to choose the most ideal person to take care of your pets, home & personal possessions while you are away.

You need someone you can rely on to treat your pet/s with love & care, exercise them, feed them & be responsive to their unique, sometimes quirky personalities. Someone who will maintain your home in the manner you prefer, respect your privacy & security, be able to find appropriate solutions to problems that may arise in your absence. Choosing from the many applicants makes that decision even more difficult, I'm sure.

So let me make the decision easier for you!

I am a healthy, fit, responsible, mature Registered Nurse with outstanding referees, testimonials from people whose homes & animals I have cared for, & a current police clearance, due to the nature of my employment. My employment is flexible & I spend a large portion of my time at home. I am a solutions orientated woman - which comes in very handy in the event of an 'emergency'. I have extremely high integrity, am clean & tidy, & can assure you of the highest level of respect for your personal property & privacy.

I consider myself a valuable resource providing a quality service for families to relax & enjoy their holidays, confident in the knowledge that ALL will be taken care of in their absence, & that on their return EVERYTHING will be 'as if they'd never left'.

I'm the woman you will want to have on your contact list for future sits, & will find yourself recommending me to your friends & family.

Housesitting appeals to me as I am able to provide a useful, cost effective service to others whilst saving money myself & learning my way around Melbourne, & being closer to my son. I love the company of animals, & being able to allow people to leave their beloved pets & home with peace of mind, to enjoy their holidays gives me joy. I would be happy to chat or arrange to meet up to discuss your requirements & to determine if we are a great fit.

I am looking for sits preferably in the inner or western suburbs of Melbourne, however I'm open to other options.

Should you require any further information, feel free to text or call me on 0437293709 - as email is slower for me to access.

I look forward to hearing from you

With love & light
Karen

From the moment I met Karen over a cup of coffee until the time I got home - nothing was a problem. Karen is a warm, thoughtful and lovely person, she was reliable and really looked after my house. Our arrangements worked and I got home to a well cared for, spotless and inviting home I know she loves pets - I didn't have one for her to cuddle but she certainly would be able to care for animals if that was required. You would be lucky if Karen agreed to look after your home

Karen house sat for us for 2 weeks. We returned home to very happy and healthy fur babies and a clean and tidy apartment. Thanks Kaz for caring for our home and pets as though they were your own. We highly recommend Kaz

Karen sat for me in Williamstown while I was overseas recently and minded my cat and dog. Karen was fantastic, even sorting out some maintenance issues on the house while I was away. The house was immaculate on returning home and the animals were very happy. I would highly recommend Karen and just hope that she is available on my next trip away.

Karen was an absolute godsend, taking care of my dogs and home better than I do myself. I returned to an impeccable home and very happy dogs who are working on making new agreements. AND, Karen weeded, mulched, and planed up my front garden, which has been a source of embarrassment for me for quite some time. I feel like a reset button has been pushed on my life and I have been given the opportunity to take more control. If you are lucky enough to host Karen, you will be so glad you did!
