Cat Sitters in Redfern

Nikki

Nikki was a lovely person, very good communicator and left my apartment sparkling clean. My two cats were very relaxed and happy when I returned. Wish I could book her again, but I think she's very popular!

Fran & Ken

Fran and Ken were wonderful house guests and took such great care of our two cats and home. We had great communication in the lead up to the sit, and it was great to meet them both and introduce them to the cats. We had lots of updates and photos whilst away, and knew they were being well looked after. Upon our return the house was spotless, and the cats were both very happy, relaxed and in great shape. We’d love for Fran & Ken to sit for us again, and highly recommend them. Thank you

Clark

Clark went above and beyond! Daily updates, and left the place cleaner than when they arrived. Would highly recommend and would love to have back!

Mandy

Mandy was the most amazing dog/housesitter for our dogs Barney & Ralf.We knew instantly when crossing paths with Mandy on Aussie Housesitter Mandy was the perfect fit for our precious, spoilt boys. Mandy is calm and easygoing, with nothing being a problem on the to-do list for the boys. Mandy applied cream to a wound on Ralf and kept us updated with photos of the wound and of the boys being so relaxed and happy. Such, peace of mind for us to relax and enjoy our holiday,knowing the boys were in the caring hands and heart of Mandy . We would highly recommend Mandy for House /dog sitting and would love Mandy to sit for us again.

Lucie

Thanks again to Lucie for taking care of our cat Lulu, she’s truly the best! We always rely on her whenever we travel overseas to look after Lulu and our home. The house is always spotless when we return, and Lulu doesn’t seem to miss us at all!

Clare

Clare is a natural with animals. From the minute she came into our home, our cat Finn (who is usually quite standoffish with new people) was approaching Clare and and very curious about her. He was eating treats from her hand in the first 10 mins of her visit, and was receptive to pats from her immediately. This instant connection made me feel very comfortable leaving Finn in her care over the Xmas break. Clare was a wonderful house sitter, she provided regular updates and photos, was timely with communication and left the house very clean and tidy at the end of her stay. She even cleaned the bedding and towels which was unexpected and very much appreciated. I would not hesitate to recommend Clare for other people for pet/house sitting.

Matthew & Stephanie

Mat and Steph did a great job looking after our treasured possessions - the house and our Spoodle, Mintie. I would highly recommend Mat and Steph to anyone seeking reliable, mature, organised and trusty sitters. We would certainly invite them back for a future sit.

Shane & Kerrie

The sit with Shane and Kerrie was arranged about 9 months in advance, so during that time, we stayed in touch, which was nice. As with our other sits, they were happy to arrive the day before so they could spend time with Archie whilst we were here. We even enjoyed a few bevvies together at our local, which had live music on that afternoon. They sent messages whilst we were away and after as they had left before we got back The cottage was spotless when we got back , and they had even washed and hung out the bedding and towels. I have no hesitation in recommending Shane and Kerrie as sitters and would happily have them come sit again.

Emile

Emile house and cat sat for us for four weeks during March 2024. We found him to be intelligent, friendly, resourceful, adaptable and caring. There were no major issues and he kept us informed of how everything was going with Findlay. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned. We would not hesitate to have Emile back again.

Sarah

Sarah looked after our cat for a week. She communicated clearly in the lead up to the stay and sent regular messages and photos while we were away. When we returned, our cat was happy and our home was in a clean and tidy state. Thank you Sarah!

Seren & Alex

Alex and Seren are a gorgeous young couple from Wales who cared for our Groodle dog Murphy as if he were their own. We were overseas for a month and on return our home was sparkling and Murphy as happy as can be. Alex and Seren went above a beyond for us and our dog. Managing their work around being home enough for him. They are both highly organised, and responsible, extremely kind and thoughtful. Murphy was a very lucky boy to have them care for him. And I am forever grateful that our dates aligned and they were available to stay. I can not recommend them highly enough.

Carla

Wow! What a find....I can't recommend Carla highly enough but also want to keep how good she is a secret, so she remains available. When Carla reached out to me, I was initially reluctant as she is relatively young. What I discovered is that Carla is an independent , highly competent and very respectful young woman with a wonderful temperament for looking after animals, plants and your precious home. She stayed in regular contact, giving updates and sending the occasional photos. I highly recommend Carla and will definitely have her back to look after Kitty. Muchas gracias Carla

Isabel

We recently welcomed Helen and Peter, a wonderful warm and friendly couple from New Zealand for a 2 week sit to our farmhouse in West Sussex.

We immediately felt comfortable with them whilst we and our children gave them the guided tour and explained the needs of our many furry dependants and the nuances of our home.

They took everything in their stride and provided regular amusing and comforting updates helping us all to rest easy whilst away.

On returning home, we were genuinely astonished at the level of care they had taken of our animals and the immaculate state that we found our home - well above the call of duty!!

An amazing couple, the testament being that we would very much like to keep in touch with them and would be absolutely delighted if they wanted to return one day!

Lisa

So sorry this review is late thank you very much for sitting everything was perfect
