Cat Sitters in Murarrie

Allie

We can not recommend Allie and West highly enough. They are such a genuinely lovely and friendly couple who look after our animals and house as if they were their own. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they always go above and beyond what we would expect from sitters. Their little touches, like leaving food and a full fruit bowl for our return, are so thoughtful. Allie and West have house-sat for us a number of times during the Pandemic and they have always been so flexible when our plans have changed; sometimes at the very last minute.

Margaret & Darryl

Hard to find the right words to do justice to the way Margaret and Darryl took care of our precious boy Louie and our home while we were away. From the moment they first applied to sit for us, to the minute they walked through our front door we knew we had made the right choice, and could go away safe in the knowledge that Louie was going to be loved and cared for the same way we do. He was truely spoilt( not in any way ignoring our requirements) and was a lucky boy to be taken on such wonderful daily outings with them. We recieved regular updates and photos, and now we are home, I think he is a little put out that he is missing out on the daily adventures he had with them!😊. Chris and I would not hesitate in recommending Margaret and Darryl as sitters, in fact, we have already penciled them in again for next year. Two lovely people who go above and beyond in making sure that your fur babies get the best love and care, an imaculate home to return to and for us a lovely surprise finding a meal ready for us to heat up after our long trip home from Europe. I could write reems, but will leave it to you to find out just how wonderful they are for yourselves.

Carol

Carol was a wonderful house sitter. From our first meeting Carol was very accommodating of our requirements, clearly loved animals and a pleasure to deal with. We were kept well informed throughout our time away and the house was spotless. I highly recommend Carol to anyone requiring a home sitter.

Jill

Jill is a wonderful soul and an excellent sitter! This time was Gill's second sit for our two cheeky furr boys. She was very self sufficient in letting herself in and getting set up, great communication and a steady stream of photos keeping us up to date with how it was going. Thanks ever so much Gill. Going away is much less stressful when your nearest and dearest are in good hands 😸

Erin & Chris

Erin and Chris were absolute gems of sitters. So self-sufficient, organised a reliable. They were only taking care of my cat for 3 nights but they still took the trouble to leave everything clean, tidy and in good order. They send regular updates with great photos and I had no worries at all about leaving Kiko with them. Would 100% recommend them to anyone. Thanks, both of you!

Trish & Ian

Trish and Ian were just fabulous. We met them in person before we left for our 3.5 month trip and trusted them from the moment we met, as they instilled a lot of confidence in us. Even though we are seasoned sitters, we still get nervous leaving our home in the hands of strangers. We had no such worries with Trish and Ian. They were very responsive communicators and looked after our apartment extremely well. They left our home very clean and tidy and we almost wouldn't have known they had been there except for their gift of a thoughtful welcome home pamper pack, which was very much appreciated after our long haul flight! They were extremely accommodating and not phased at all by the next door high rise construction noise during their stay. Ian even offered to do some minor (much needed) maintenance in our bathroom that we weren't able to get done before we left for our trip! Thank you, so much Ian! They also periodically took our car for a run to ensure the battery didn't go flat and moved it as needed when the building basement was being cleaned and they kept our plants alive! :😀 We wouldn't hesitate having Trish and Ian look after our home again and happily recommend them to other owners.

Tachae

Tachae, absolutely amazing! I would highly, highly recommend Tachae to care for your pet, but also take very good care of your home. I have no hesitation in rebooking, Tachae!

Chiara

Chiara has looked after my two cats twice and after the first time I asked her to come back for a longer stay (which turned into 5 weeks in total). One of my cats is a little more aloof and is quite selective with who he lets give him affection and she quickly won him over which made me so happy and even more comfortable to leave them for so long without worrying. Her communication was great and the house was really well looked after (my plants were healthier than when I left!). I highly recommend her for your next Housesitter!

Amelia

Amelia and Jed were wonderful and took great care of Kawet, who was sad to see them go. They made sure he had everything he needed and never was alone too long. And they brought us vegemite. 5 stars.

Amy

It is a pleasure that we provide a review for Amy and Lewis. From first contact and subsequent meetings prior to the sit, we felt confident in leaving our ‘princess’ Crystal with them, as this was evident when she greeted them happily. Due to the agreed circumstances, the sit dates were changed to 16 Aug - 6 Sep. Lewis provided most of Crystal's walks and connected with her. During our time away, we were sent regular updates and photos that ensured our peace of mind that the “princesses” was being pampered!! On our return, Crystal greeted us happily and with minimal noise! The obvious excellent care and attention Crystal received meant she was calm and settled. They left a beautiful thank you gift and lovely note, and we would be pleased to see them again should they venture this way.

Kate

Kate and Ashley were excellent! Kate was punctual for the handover, confidently ran through our system with us, and we were off on the road half an hour early. On our return, everything was clean, and linen was washed and on the line. Kate and Ashley were a lovely couple and I strongly recommend them to others. Regards Gary & Janine

Rani

Rani was a fantastic house sitter. My animals were loved and cared for as if they were her own. My garden was maintained and watered as required and the house was left in so clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend Rani to house sit. We will be having her and her family back again.

Daniel

We are so Greatful to Carol for taking the time and staying in our home to look after our loved elderly cat. She was easy to communicate with and was very flexible with our dates needed for the sit period. She was respectful of our home and left our home clean and tidy. We would highly recommend Carol and will be looking to have carol stay for us again if she is willing!!! AAA++++

charlotte

We invited Evelyn, Stephen and Matilda to housesit for us and luckily for us they agreed.   Evelyn was so organised when they arrived, found out about things she needed to know, so I felt comfortable leaving everything in her hands.  Matilda is so lovely .... she was very happy to see hens.  
When we got back the house was perfect, it didn't look as if anyone had been there at all, let alone a family!  The hens and Barbara the cat all seemed very happy to have been looked after by them, I was a bit worried if the animals would all cope as none are used to children but I think Matilda understands about animals so was a good companion.  After I'd invited them I worried about whether the house was child friendly enough and (never having had experience of small people) whether she'd create extra mess but M&S seemed to adapt the house accordingly and there was no evidence of a child ever having been in the house when we got back!
Evelyn sent me updates about them and was brilliant when one of the hens became poorly, letting me know and liaising with a neighbour to treat the hen.
I would not hesitate to recommend them and would be very happy to have them back.
