Pet Sitters in Lake Cathie

Heather & Ian

It was a pleasure having Heather and Ian in our home to care for Gerry! We felt immediately comfortable upon meeting them! Gerry was obviously treated like a king and they kept us informed of how things were going at home! They had to deal with some pretty nasty weather! The house was left in pristine condition and I would thoroughly recommend them to future pet owners!

Jo

Jo and Russell were easy to communicate with and looked after our home and Lulu really well. I changed the arrival time and really appreciated there understanding. Lulu is a nervous dog and they were very patient with her. I had daily updates too. I highly recommend Jo and Russell

Donna

It was a pleasure to have Donna and Phil house sit for us- they looked after our pets perfectly and sent us regular piccies so we didn't have to worry.House was left v clean and tidy.The perfect housesitters!

Chris & Michael

We could not have asked for better first house sitters. Not only did we come home from our 18 day trip to a beautiful clean home and very happy pets, dinner and dessert were ready for us in the fridge too! We appreciate everything you did, and thanks again Chris and Mike for making our first house sitting experience so easy ♥️

Bettina

Bettina and Jason were perfect house sitters- they left the apartment clean and tidy and they took care of our fur babies very well! Would recommend these lovely house/pet sitters.

Alison & Steve

Alison and Steve were fantastic housesitters and we feel very lucky to have found them. They were reliable and easy to communicate with before and during the sit, and arrived exactly when planned after several hours' drive. We enjoyed their company over dinner, and we knew when we left that Rusty and our home were in very good hands. Rusty can be initially timid with strangers, but took to both Alison and Steve very quickly. They they kept us updated during the 3 week sit with photos of Rusty loving sitting on their laps, being brushed, and enjoying their company. When we got home he was very happy and relaxed, and sleek from brushing, we don't think he missed us at all! We got home to a spotless house and outdoor areas, and were really grateful for the thoughtful groceries Steve and Alison left us, so we had plenty of supplies on arrival after our 24 hour journey home. It was a real bonus that Steve and Alison already knew Sydney, and enjoyed exploring our local area further - but also spent plenty of time at home with Rusty and enjoying our home. We also really appreciated them going the extra mile several times on their own initiative - kindly offering us a lift to the city bus on our horribly early departure; doing some garden weeding; taking care of mail and parcels etc. Many thanks again for everything Steve and Alison; we'd love you to come back in future. We look forward to meeting up again when we’re in your area over Christmas.

James

James is a lovely and engaging chap who did a stellar job looking after our Vizsla and our home. Would recommend!

Ruth

Ruth was a fantastic sitter. We came home to a very tidy house and two very happy cats. Communication was so easy, and she was very accommodating when unexpected things happened! On top of that, just a very warm and friendly person. A pleasure to have her sit!

I cannot recommend this sit enough. 
Stun-ning property with such a nice view and details all around. 

The 2 dogs are sooo cute. Boho the Golden is easy and relaxed and Zorro is never far away from you. Wherever you are, he is:)
Loves cuddles and playing with a ball all day. And his droopy eyes, awwww. Already miss them both. 

The owners are very friendly and make sure you feel welcome at their house. 
5 star sit, definitely! 
Hope our paths cross again!
