I am an experienced and dedicated pet sitter with a passion for providing exceptional care to furry friends. With a deep love and understanding of animals, I have built a reputation for my trustworthy and reliable services, ensuring pet owners have peace of mind while they are away. From a young age, I have been drawn to animals of all kinds. Growing up surrounded by pets, I developed a natural bond and intuitive understanding of their needs and behaviours. This early connection sparked my desire to work with animals and provide them with the utmost care and attention. My professional journey as a pet sitter began over a decade ago when I started assisting friends and family with their pets' care while they were travelling. Recognizing my innate ability to connect with animals and my genuine love for the job, I have decided to turn my passion into a full-fledged career.


With a commitment to excellence, I ensure that every pet I care for receives personalized attention and tailored care. I understand that each animal has unique requirements, whether it's a dietary need, exercise routine, or specific medication schedule. I take the time to familiarize myself with these details, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. During my time as a pet sitter, I have worked with a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats and small mammals. I have experience handling animals of all sizes and temperaments, adapting my approach to cater to their individual personalities. I have also completed my training in basic pet first aid and CPR, ensuring I can handle any unforeseen situations with calmness and efficiency.

Beyond providing exceptional care, I believe in creating a nurturing and engaging environment for the pets I look after. I engage them in playtime, and regular exercise, and provide plenty of affection to make them feel loved and secure in their own homes and my own. With me as your pet sitter or dog walker, you can rest assured that your beloved companion will be in safe and loving hands. My dedication, experience, and genuine love for animals make me the perfect choice for pet owners seeking professional and compassionate care. I also provide overnight care.

I’m currently on an employment break, so I am home all day and not working - that means I have all the time in the world to dedicate to your fur babies!

My daily walk schedule for the eastern suburbs is:

- 9am - 11am
- 11am - 1pm
- 1pm - 3pm


I have provided my WWC check which covers me as a police check too.

I also have a pet stroller for smaller dogs or senior / injured or disabled dogs for those that need shorter walks or just a stroll outside without relying on their own bodies.

Please note: if your dog is not cat friendly or other dog friendly - my pets cat and dog will be able to stay elsewhere while I am looking after your dog. So, just let me know if your dog needs to be the only pet.

I have experience petsitting in ‘smart homes’ and staying for long periods of time to cover all types of travel including work trips and holidays.

Katie was awesome! We loved getting photo updates of Bambi when we were away. We will definitely book with Katie again. I think Bambi misses her already x

Katie was lovely and caring, and did everything she could to get my pup to settle with her cat, unfortunately we had to find alternative arrangements as my pup wouldn’t make friends with her cat unfortunately, but not due to lack of effort and care from Katie. Thank you 🐶 🐾 💛
