Hi :) I love animals, forever in my life & part of the family. 20+ genuine reviews (3 websites) from happy owners who've invited me back multiple times & warmly welcomed back by the furries :) Happy to do a trial at your place to establish our routine & preferences so we're all safe & enjoy the sit with mutual respect. Having your pet in my life makes my heart sing! I've done pet-house sits at large luxury houses-resort style & modest houses too, in suburban, acreage & beach areas - with pools, spas, lawn & garden maintenance.

I'm a resourceful & independent lady, non-smoker, without kids, without pets, kind & friendly. I've done several sits with independent (!snobby!) cats, sweet friendly cats, rescue dogs, senior dogs on daily arthritis medication, fish, parrots, chookies, and...alpacas! Oh & an uninvited snake! I'm happy & positive, & I love rainbows & sunsets. I'm healthy, a homebody, active & enjoy walking 10+km weekly, in the cooler evenings at a park, river or beach.

In September I did a 1 week Sydney sit at a beautiful Meriton apartment at Mascot with a gregarious & adoring cat (booked at short notice). I enjoyed my September visit so much that I returned to Sydney for the long weekend at the start of October and I'm excited to return again soon. This is the reference:

Shelly was absolutely wonderful with Dorian. He was so well looked after in my absence, that he was beside himself when he'd realised she'd gone - back to boring ol' Dad. Both Dorian and the apartment were in good nick upon my return. I'd have Shelly back in a flash!

Why I want to house sit

Pet-house sitting is a beautiful life, I totally love it!

I dearly miss my own much loved fur-kids: a tiny fluffy chihuahua & a very active-rowdy red cattle dog (who remain at my own property). Yes, quite the combination, a yappy little lap dog & a big beast working dog - they're best mates & the tiny chi is The Boss!

My experience

I will care for your home & animals as if they're my own:

*Tidy up after myself in your house - we don't want uninvited guests-pests! Bins out/in, collect mail, start your car, nice to your neighbours.

*Water & prune gardens, palms, lawns, vegies-herbs & pot plants (shade to avoid burning of leaves in the hot summer), composting, re-potting & fertilising.

*Cuddles, walks, feeding & clean water daily, playing, brush-wash-dry; & tidy pet's business, kennel, bedding, crate. Your dogs & I won't be exercising in the sun during the intense heat of the day - we'll be relaxing in the shade without sunburn :) I'll be extra gentle with your older pets. I've had a few old dogs with health problems & medication/shots, including arthritis & other problems - they only need a shorter relaxed walk.

*Keep your cat inside overnight to avoid fights-injuries. Put the chooks in the coop overnight to avoid the foxes, clear the eggs.

*Familiar with using a variety of security systems, household appliances & pool maintenance.

I've done lots of sits, including:

*a beachfront resort tri-level condo with a rooftop spa, without pets, for 5 weeks.
*a 20 year old cat (2 times), with another booking soon.
*a 16 year old cat & pool (3 times).
*2 Persian cats.
*2 cats, a parrot, chookies & a fighter fish.
*a chihuahua, a cavalier, 2 cats & a pool (about 5 times).
*a border collie, a cat & a pool (3 times) - a resort type home.
*2 border collies.
*a border collie, a sharpei, chookies & alpacas with a pool on acreage.
*a chihuahua, 2 cats & a pool (3 times).
*a maltese (3 times).
*a cavalier & 2 cats.
*a chihuahua, a foxie & a cat.
*a poodle with a pool.
*a daschund & a springer spaniel.
*a lhsa apso X shitsu and fish with a pool.
*a 20 year old cat and an amazing aquarium (with another booking soon) - a resort type home.
*a labrador, chickens, aquarium, bonsai & a pool - a resort type home.
*a gregarious & adoring cat.
*2 sweet playful Ragdoll cats.
*2 black cats with a pool (with other bookings soon).

House & pet sitting timeline

Shelly has done 7 house sits since 2016

  • I’m after  a house sitter, who is very clean, honest and caring,must be a non smoker. Ideally we would love to call on them quite often on weekends while we are away. Some one who is local  would be ideal but it doesn’t really matter.
