About
Hi There
We are looking to find a home & cat sitter from 27th Dec 2025 to 7th Jan 2026, while we travel interstate to see family.
We live in a lovely estate (4br, brick & tile home, with established gardens) near all amenities, with parks and plenty of trails to explore.
Woolworths, Coles, Mernda train station, & a variety of other shops are nearby, along with a larger Westfields only a short drive away.
We have a nice flat yard and gardens that would benefit from daily watering over this period (in the heat).
Overall, this would be a very low maintenance sit. Prefer a person/couple that would be home a majority of the time (i.e. a retiree/s or someone studying/working etc), and a female, if a sole sitter.
Police check (& references) is a must, being a police/military family ourselves.
Must GENUINELY love the company of pets, very clean and tidy, a non-smoker, and of course respectful and trustworthy.
Knowing that our home and cat are well cared for while we're away, will certainly put our minds at ease :)
Pets & farm animals
We will be taking our spoodle (Kasper), so this sit would be just for the care of our new rescue cat (Aura).
She is friendly but quite shy. Independent & happy to just roam about. She is in an inside cat only.
House Tasks
Pet care, mail collection and lawn/garden watering.
