About Kate

Dear families my name is Kate. I am 28 years of age, living in a lovely family and community-based area in Essendon, Melbourne Victoria. This local area is surrounded by Schools, Community Centres & Sporting clubs for example: Tennis, Football and Cricket Clubs. There are beautiful parks and rivers close by that enables a community to interact with pets outdoors & through general play, especially if you are caring for dogs & taking them for short to long distant walks. An example of these facilities is the Maribyrnong River where clubs run local football and or cricket games.

Throughout the day I study Health Science/ Nursing. I enjoy working as a Pet/House sitter along side my studies especially when your greeted by a families pet when you arrived back to the premises.
I have often looked after the family domestic pets allowing more exposure and experience around animals that keeps myself updated with general pet care.
I have been inspired and motivated to work as a Pet Sitter & House Sitter because I have genuine love for animals, to spend quality time with animals, general play, general care and being responsible for others pets while they are away. Some of my experiences include: a "live in" arrangement in the following suburbs: Essendon, Moonee Ponds, Ascot Vale & Aberfeldie, all suburbs listed are within the city of Moonee Valley. I would arrange with the families via a phone call, a one on one meeting at their home address to run through all job requirements for the stay. I would be given keys to the house, arrange any emergency contacts in case I require to contact the family whilst away, maintain a clean backyard, collect mail, clear bins each week, spending time at the house using the facilities provided with all pets living on premises. Some types of pets I have care for include: Dogs, Cats, Turtles and Fish, Guinea pigs, Mice, and Birds.
I have been helping and assisting families that require care for both their pets and homes, to be looked after and well maintained for a period of time whilst they are away, either for a family holiday/vacation or for other travel commitments.

The service I offer is: Responsibility to live within the premises, to maintain & clean and mainly focusing on completing any tasks regarding their own pets. For example: taking for walks, feeding, playing and comforting them indoors and outdoors. I also ensure all home appliances & features are functioning and running smoothly throughout my stay.

The minimum time of stay within a home is over a weekend, however I usually offer my services for several weeks - up to a period of 12 months if this is a requirement. I always enjoy having the independence and responsibility for taking care of local homes, flats or units, with the family feeling safe and confident when leaving for all travel commitments. I am willing to travel as far as required within Melbourne to assist and help as many local families as possible as a sitter.

If you have any further questions about my work, please feel free to send me a message via the website. ...
