Cat Sitters in Chelsea

Carolyn

It was great to have Carolyn back for a second stay with the kitties.

Marita

We are so fortunate to have had Marita looking after our dogs and house while we were away. She ensured that she arrived a few hours before we left and on meeting her we immediately felt confident that she would be an excellent sitter, and we were not wrong! She sent us daily updates and photos of the dogs who obviously thought she was wonderful! The house was immaculate when we returned, the pot plants were thriving and the dogs were happy and to top it off she had prepared us a delicious meal which was much appreciated after two days of driving. In a word Marita was fabulous.

ARDEENA

Ardeena was a wonderful sitter for our cat, Persephone! She sent us daily photos and bonded well with our little sassy cat. She also took great care of our apartment and kept us informed when any issues arose. Our heat needed a new thermostat and she worked with our building to get that sorted out. She left our apartment tidy and clean and changed the sheets for us before we got back. I would love to have her sit for us again and recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter!

Karina & Thern

Thern and Karina are part of our family! They are amazing humans and we count ourselves so lucky to have met them. Thank you for being so caring and always having the dogs’ best interests at heart.

Natalie

Natalie was another wonderful house sitter and pet career. She took up the sit at late notice and we could not fault anything about her. Natalie’s communication was perfect, she arrived on time, sent us pics of the boys whilst we were away, was clean, tidy and all our pets were really happy and relaxed on our return. We also had a long chat with her when we got home and she’s really lovely. As Natalie is local, I will definitely contact her again if we have another short notice sit. Thanks again Natalie, I think Zappa is missing you already!

Jessie

Jessie was an absolutely amazing pet and house sitter. Our cat Hobbes was very well looked after and he loved all the attention and cuddles Jessie gave him and was very happy and relaxed when we got back. He hurt himself during Jessie’s stay and she looked after him brilliantly. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jessie!

Maya

Loved having Mai and Maya Housesit, they are two very lovely young ladies with a great outlook on life. Very responsible, clean and tidy in the home. My dogs both fell in love with them both and lapped up all the attention. I highly recommend Mai and Maya for any Housesit looking after your home, pets and plants etc.

Natalia

Natalia was honestly one of the nicest people I have met! She was so sweet with my pets, she was a really good communicator, she updated me with photos and the odd concerns, which was reassuring. She left everything clean and tidy, laundered her sheets and towels and cooked us a delicious homecoming dinner. I can't recommend her highly enough, and will definitely be keen to invite her again. Thanks Natalia x

Florencia & Silvina

Silvi and her sister Flor are reliable and friendly. They cared beautifully for our dog Pip, keeping her cool over the hot summer days and walking her twice daily as requested, and tended our garden well beyond our expectations. They respected our home and left it immaculately clean. They are delightful people and we would strongly recommend them as house sitters. We hope they will return when we next travel.

Matias

Matias was great. I had to leave urgently and a Family member who was going to look after Nala went into hospital I was desperate. Matias was responsible, reliable and so much appreciated under stressful circumstances. Came home to a clean house and a happy pup, was very happy.

Melanie

Thank you so much for looking after my girls. As it wasn’t for a trip away, but a hospital stay, it was great to know that the girls were in good hands and happy. I came home to two very happy cats and a spotless home. I would highly recommend Mel.

Sarah

Sarah was amazing - she kept me updated with pictures of Eggs, and left the apartment super clean. Eggs seemed very happy and comfortable and I didn’t have to stress at all while I was on my trip because I knew Eggs was in great hands!

Naida

Mark was the first house sitter I had ever used. I must say I was very nervous using this system but Mark was very kind to supply other references and recommendations from past clients. He presents as a very quiet person who enjoys animals and doesn’t mind sitting on his own. He looked after Buddy and Bella very well and followed their routine to the letter. He was considerate enough to send daily pics, videos and updates on what was happening at home. Unfortunately there was a bushfire emergency but Mark was sensible to keep an eye on fire weather warnings and kept me updated. He left the house very clean and tidy- even washed the sheets! I am so impressed with Mark that I booked him for a second sit and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Clare

From the very first contact to post stay Isobel was incredibly reassuring and had excellent communication. Her wealth of experience shone through from first meeting her. She asked questions and I was reassured that she had the dogs best interest throughout. 
She left our home impeccable and our dogs very happy. I'm delighted she will be coming back to sit our dogs in the summer and if you're lucky enough to receive an application from Isobel, snap her up.
