This is the second time Catherine and Richard have minded our pets while we were away and we couldn't be more happy about the way they took care of them.

Catherine & Richard looked after Ingrid’s pets & home

I first worked with Catherine at our local RSPCA (Royal Society for Protection of Animals) branch, in Cooma, NSW, Australua. She subsequently became a close friend. She is trustworthy, honest, reliable, and, above all, an animal lover. Cathetine has looked after my house and my 2 cats in Cooma on numerous occasions. I warnly recommend her as an animal and house carer.

Why we want to house sit

We love animals and enjoy spending time with them and we miss our own pets when we are away from them. Pet sitting is a great way to see places and meet pets that we would otherwise never have known.
