Both Katrina and Paul are lovely people. They cared for our fur baby as though Bronnie was their own. From the first meeting we felt very comfortable and confident that Katrina and Paul are the desired folks to look after Bronnie and our home. This has been confirmed by the experience of having updates on our girl who had a health issue, the care and loving attention to meet all her needs. The wonderful condition of our home on return, clean, tidy and in good repair; what else could we ask ... MOREBoth Katrina and Paul are lovely people.

The wonderful condition of our home on return, clean, tidy and in good repair; what else could we ask for? We very highly recommend Katrina and Paul to those seeking quality house sitters to care for your home and pets in your absence. As a couple Katrina and Paul are very easy to get along with, they do take caring for your home very seriously. Paul is very good with dogs, both are great animal carers
RITA (Thornlie WA, Mar 2024 - 4 weeks)
We came home to happy pets and a spotless house. I would recommend Kat and Paul to housesit your house.
XENIA (Lathlain WA, Mar 2024 - 2 weeks 6 nights)
Katrina and Paul did a wonderful job of looking after my fur baby. They kept her happy and the house and garden was a bonus. I can't thank you both enough
CARA (Palmyra WA, Jan 2024 - 1 week 4 nights)
Overall they were very good. Communication was limited. House was very clean and dog looked after. Pity that a specific garden bed with newly planted natives wasn’t watered as requested. However, would recommend Katrina and Paul.
DANIEL (Inglewood WA, Dec 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
Unfortunately it took Danial days to respond to our communication, if at all . We had messages not replied to .
All instructions were carried out the weather was in the 40s most days, my partner watered all the gardens every day .
Unfortunately some people are just never happy.
Katrina and Paul were wonderful, we could tell immediately that they were kind, responsible and genuine animal lovers.
They took great care of our girls and spent plenty of time with them, which was very important for us.
The house and garden were well cared for, and immaculate when we got home.
I would absolutely reccomend them to anyone looking for sitters.😊
RHYS (Maylands WA, Oct 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
Thanks for the fabulous review
I was lucky enough, and very comfortable while I was away, with the knowledge that Katrina and Paul were looking after my dogs and home. I arrived back to an immaculate house and two very happy dogs.
I thoroughly recommend these two lovely people as excellent House and Pet Sitters.

BRENDA (Booragoon WA, Oct 2023 - 1 week 3 nights)
Thank you Katrina & Paul for caring for our dog Trudy and our home while we were on holidays recently. Trudy is on medication twice daily and she was in great condition when we arrived home.
The house was spotless and we would certainly recommend you to anyone requiring a dedicated and caring couple for house sitting.
We would not hesitate asking you again in the future.
DIANNE (Lesmurdie WA, Aug 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
Highly recommend Katrina and her partner Paul. From our first meeting with Katrina we felt comfortable that our home and car would be well cared for, and we were not mistaken.
We came to a very clean home, well maintained garden and a happy cat.
JAN (EAST FREMANTLE WA, Jul 2023 - 3 weeks)
Katrina was easy to communicate with and came to visit before we went away, which was great. She kept in touch with us while we were away and gave us updates on Pepe our cat. She and Paul took great care of our home and we came home to find the house spotless and Pepe looking very healthy and happy. Highly recommend.
LISE (Beaconsfield WA, Jun 2023 - 4 weeks)
Katrina (Kat) was prompt in her communication with us, and kindly managed to visit before the sit to meet with us, which was much appreciated. She and her husband Paul (who we didn't get the chance to meet) have very busy lives at present, so we were grateful at how easy and reassuring they were (eg answering my infrequent texts quickly). Our timid cat is no fuss to look after, but she isn't rewarding either, so it was great to hear Kat had had a cuddle with the cat after just a few days. ...

Our timid cat is no fuss to look after, but she isn't rewarding either, so it was great to hear Kat had had a cuddle with the cat after just a few days. Everything was ship-shape upon our return, and the house was clean and locked up. Kat left the bedding and towels freshly laundered and put back, and the rubbish out. Everything was safe and well. You can't ask for more, so thanks a million to Kat & Paul!
JOANNA (Subiaco WA, May 2023 - 1 week)
Kat & Paul did a brilliant job in caring for our beloved pup and home, we’d be glad to recommend them highly to any other potential homeowners.
They liaised with us regularly to assure us that all was well on the home front, which let us enjoy our trip away without concern.
Our dog was happy upon our return, the house was clean and tidy and the plants all thriving.

DREW (Padbury WA, Apr 2023 - 1 week 1 day)
Katrina and Paul made our holiday so much better knowing that our spoilt dog Chester was being well cared for. This was our first time using a stranger to care for him as he usually goes to family but family came away with us so that left him in limbo. We arrived home to a happy dog so know he was well cared for. We believe Paul spent a lot of time with him which he would have relished.

EVELYN (Kewdale WA, Apr 2023 - 1 week 1 day)
Katrina and Paul looked after our home like it was were their own. As for our pets, they were clearly well loved and cared for in our absence. We could not have been more pleased with their communication and the care they took while house sitting for 2 weeks while we were away. Our neighbours also mentioned how friendly they were to them when walking our dog or saw them out the front of house.
I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone and use again if required.
MARREE (Melville WA, Mar 2023 - 1 week 6 days)
Katrina was a great house sitter in all respects. Communication with her was easy and she did a great job with our little garden, and overall care of our home.
We felt very confident that our home was in good hands, and we were appreciative of her kind message for us on our arrival home. She is a 5 star sitter.
LIANE (Subiaco WA, Feb 2023 - 2 weeks 5 days)
Katrina looked after our home, dog pool and gardens. Our dog was very happy and our place was lovely and tidy. Recommend
SHARON (Safety Bay WA, Jan 2023 - 11 days)
Katrina and her partner, Paul, took wonderful care of our two dogs and home. It was so nice to come home and be welcomed by two happy, calm dogs thanks to all the walks and time spent with them. It was clear they were well cared for while we were away. Thanks again Katrina and Paul, especially Paul for taking such a liking to our furry kids.
RIETTE (Bateman WA, Dec 2022 - 28 days)
Katrina was very professional throughout the process and took excellent care of our fur babies.
We would have no issue in recommending Katrina and hope to utilise her services again early in the new year.
BARRY (Nollamara WA, Oct 2019 - 10 Days)
Katrina looked after our home and dog Bruno for 1 week in July and we were delighted to return home to a happy pet and clean and tidy house. Katrina responded quickly to all communications and we would recommend her for any future housesits. We hope she will return to mind Bruno again in the future.
KIM (Hamilton Hill WA, Jul 2019 - 1 week)
It was lovely to spend time at Kim's home and look after Bruno . Kim and her husband are a lovely couple. And Bruno is a sweet and easy dog to look after. Thanks for trusting me with your home and pet.
Kat looked after our 2 cats, house and garden while we where away for just over 3 weeks.
The cats thrived while we where away and on our return the house and garden where clean.
Kat is very friendly, trustworthy and responsible and we have already booked her for our next trip away.
JENNY (Success WA, May 2019 - 24 days)
Katrina was an excellent house sitter. We needed a sitter last minute and she had a three day opening available, which worked perfectly. Our dog Frankie and cat Mackerel was very happy when we came home and the house was immaculate. We would highly recommend Katrina for your house sits.
JENNIFER (Secret Harbour WA, May 2019 - 3 days)
It was an absolute pleasure to have Katrina take such great care of our beautiful cat and home. We arrived back from holiday to find the house immaculate and a very happy little pussy cat. We highly recommend Katrina to anyone considering her. She is a lovely person, great communicator and a true animal lover. Thanks again Katrina, Dave & Sue
SUSAN (Wellard WA, Oct 2018 - 2 weeks 4 days)
Katrina took great care of my house and my cat for a month.
The cat took to Katrina straight away which was a really good sign because the cat is very much a recluse and doesn't like people.
It was nice to come home to our house being exactly as we left it. We are hoping Katrina will be available the next time we go away. We had a very stress free holiday.
I would highly recommend Katrina for any future house sits.
Thank you very much Katrina
SYLVIA (Casuarina Perth WA, Sep 2018 - 4 weeks)
Katrina stayed at my house for 3 weeks while I was in the UK.
She cared for my house,cat and garden.
I came home to a very clean and tidy house and a very happy cat.
Katrina has shown to be trustworthy and reliable as a house sitter.
I would recommend her as an excellent house sitter.
JENNY (Palmyra WA, Aug 2018)
Kat looked after my cat and my fish and my house for me for 3 weeks. I'm so happy - the house was left clean and In great condition. Most importantly my usually grumpy cat was in a very good mood and seemed to enjoy spending time with Kat. I would definitely recommend Kat as a house sitter. I'm really delighted with the care she took. Great job! Thanks Kat!

RODNEY (Baldivis WA, Jan 2018 - 2 weeks 5 days)
Katrina looked after our home and dog for a month. She was caring and confident with the animal, walking the dog and enjoying his company. The 10 year old German Short Hair Pointer loved Katrina as shown by the photos she sent to us. and was happy and in excellent condition when we returned. Katrina was reliable and trustworthy and interacted well with us and our neighbours. The house was very clean and tidy and I recommend Katrina without hesitation.

FRANK (Nedlands WA, Sep 2017)
I would like to say a big thank you to Katrina for taking such great care of our home and our lovely dog Henry. She met with us prior to our departure and covered off all of our queries and concerns. She is very friendly, calm and positive and also very reassuring (we didn't have to worry about a thing, everything was taken care of).
I would not hesitate in recommending Katrina as a house and pet sitter, you can go away and relax knowing it is all in safe hands.
Thank you
