Janine & Zahara

24, Intellectual Property Paralegal Freelancer

22, Hospitality

Hello! We're Janine and Zahara, devoted pet caregivers from Cambridge, England embarking on an exciting working holiday in Australia. With youthful energy and a passion for new experiences, we've found our calling in pet sitting.

Pet sitting has become our full-time pursuit, allowing us to explore Australia and not be tied down to one area. Over the past 4 months, we've successfully cared for 11 dogs, 5 cats, and a bunny of all ages, including providing medical administration. We love that house-sitting is mutually beneficial – while we get to explore new areas and have lovely companions, it's also good for the pets as they remain in their familiar environment, with their beds, toys, and routine dog parks, minimising stress for them even when their owners are away.

Janine, working as a remote intellectual property freelancer for Dr. Martens, has the flexibility to work from home. This means your pets won't just have a caretaker but a constant companion during the day. Zahara, on the other hand, is a passionate walker, happily embarking on 2-hour walks. Your dogs will not only receive the exercise they need but will revel in the joy of outdoor adventures. Zahara's childhood animal haven upbringing, with 30 plus animals ranging from cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, degu, and ferrets, has given her a deep understanding of various pet needs.

We're respectful, tidy, and committed to treating your home with utmost care. Your pets will receive the love, attention, and responsible care they deserve, ensuring their happiness and well-being.

We are more than happy to provide previous references. We're active on others platforms like Mindahome, TrustedHouseSitters and HappyHouseSitters, with many positive reviews. We look forward to the opportunity to meet you and contribute to the well-being of your furry family members during your time away.

Best regards,
Janine and Zahara

Janine and Zahara were amazing house sitters while I was away. The place was left clean and tidy. My dog Minnie was looked after with love and care from the girls and my plants were also looked after while I was away. I would highly recommend Janine and Zahara to anyone looking for house / pet sitters as they were so easy to communicate with. I’m sure Minnie misses them both already.
 
TRENT (Caulfield North VIC, Mar 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
Janine & Zahara have just finished up a two week house sit at our home with 3 animals (x2 cats + 1 dog). We would not hesitate to have them back and felt completely at ease while they were here. What meant the most to us was how much they cared for the animals, making sure they all received plenty of attention and love. Janine & Zahara also provided us with regular updates and photos which we appreciated during our time away. Janine & Zahara were very reliable, friendly and respectful, ... MORE
