About Kate
I've been pet sitting for years - I love getting to know all the pets I sit. I'm an experienced, reliable and mature woman, who even the pickiest pets love. I give them extra tender love and care with one-on-one walks, swims, brushing, tummy rubs, massage, cuddles...whatever their fancy. I'm different from most pet sitters as I'm highly pet focused. I stay with their routine and needs so they remain feeling safe and secure. They love it when I speak dog and cat ;D

I have cared for many types of dogs from high energy pups to the most delicate, elderly dogs. And I'm a natural with cats. Owners sometimes wonder how I got their cat to sit on my lap!

I have a calm and assured nature, balancing exercise, affection and discipline. I am active and love to take the doggies for long walks and to the beach, if that's their thing.

I have a national police check and many pet owner clients who are happy to talk with you about my services.

I like sending updates and photos when you're away long time.

Rates info:

PEAK TIMES have higher rates.
EASTER rates are: $160 for overnight stay (24hours) $80 per day (up to 12 day hours)

Puppy surcharge for dogs under 1 year old (as puppies are a lot of work!).

Day rate starts from 8am onwards (not before 8am).

An overnight sit is roughly 24hrs ( +/- a few hrs).
E.g. If the sit starts Saturday morning and pick up is Sunday afternoon, then the charge is for 1 night and 1 day care.
