favoriteWhy I love house sitting

I've been lucky to be surrounded by many varied family pets growing up. My late Mum used to say that animals were my life & my biggest hobby & interest so it's only natural that I have beautiful pets in my life even if they are on loan! 💗
I feel that pets enrich our lives immeasurably! 🥰😍

Hello =^•^=
Welcome to my profile! ☺️





Hi lovely people!

I am a very experienced, mature house sitter and dog-walker /pet minder.
I'm crazy about cats & a doting dog lover!
I've been described as a 'pet-whisperer' by previous clients who have insisted I put this on my profile! Animals seem to respond well to my calm & gentle nature.

Welcome to my profile! ☺️





Hi lovely people!

I am a very experienced, mature house sitter and dog-walker /pet minder.
I'm crazy about cats & a doting dog lover!
I've been described as a 'pet-whisperer' by previous clients who have insisted I put this on my profile! Animals seem to respond well to my calm & gentle nature.

I'm a non-smoker with a very healthy lifestyle. I really love the outdoors, I'm a creative lady & I'm also a homebody! I love nothing better than the company of your pets!

I love to write, I'm a voracious reader & love to sing in an a capella group.

I have trained & worked as a Dog-groomer which I absolutely loved. I've owned, groomed & cared for over 50 plus breeds of dog so I'm familiar with the idiosyncrasies of each breed & I love them all!

Pets seem to be really relaxed in my care and it is noticed by the owners! I will keep your precious pets well cared for and your home in perfect order while you are on holidays.

As I pay close attention to detail I'll be sure to notice any changes in your pet so you know your fur baby is in great hands. I wouldn't hesitate to promptly contact you should I have concerns about their health & disposition. ☺️

I have a varied background and have trained in Nursing & as a Paramedic so I am great in emergencies of any type as I am quick on my feet and pro active. I have worked in Medical Surgeries, in the Airline Industry, in Finance/ Banking and Medical Administration in 3 large Melbourne Hospitals so I am very well- rounded!
I am 100% trustworthy and reliable with excellent references from my families.
Although I'm not currently working for the last 14 years I had worked as a part time Nanny (babies up to teens) I am super patient, punctual, clean, fastidious & hard-working.

Working as a dog-groomer I became the biggest dog lover yet having said that I have owned all manner of animals as pets as company for my son growing up. Numerous dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, mice, birds, fish & a little Terrapin in Hong Kong!

I really love all animals & I will treat your pets with love, gentle care & attention as if they were my own! :)

*Nb I have lots of experience looking after pools & spas so quite familiar with the workings of them!

*Importantly you'll find me to be very careful & respectful of your home & kind, loving & patient in my care of your precious pets. I'm a big softy!

I look forward to an open & honest communication & to making new friends!

*I recently completed a 3 week sit where I was exposed to a big mold problem in the bedroom I was allocated. It wasn't until my 1st night that I got to enter the bedroom & it smelt heavy with damp & was very musky. Upon inspection the window ledges, glass walls were covered with mold & the carpet & soft furnishings reeked of mold.
I ended up getting very sick from the mold spores & got newly diagnosed Asthma & a severe ear infection which left me extremely unwell. This is a first for me luckily. Obviously there are certain standards of cleanliness to uphold when you're opening your home to a Sitter. To protect my health I'm going to be more diligent from here on in.
As I've stated this is a rare occurrence & I've only had a problem in 3 properties out of 450 plus sits & I've stayed in some really lovely homes so I don't envisage any future issues!*

Thanks for taking the time to read my profile.

Have a lovely day! :)
Fee ☺️

My dogs have separation anxiety and they straight away cosied up to her! Dog whisperer!Fee updated us on a daily basis with photos and videos, her communication was superb. Upon return, Fee kept the place nice and clean. Fee is a beautiful and caring person, I recommend!!!!

Fee was fabulous all around and the dogs loved her. She sent lots of messages and photos. The dogs were very well cared for and the house was super clean and tidy. Can't recommend her highly enough.
Thanks for your lovely words Jules. It was really wonderful meeting you & the pups. I feel I've made some new friends & I look forward to seeing yourself Bear & Ned again soon! Be well! 🤗😊
Fee was a wonderful house sitter. She helped us out last minute when we had another sitter have to cancel. Fee kept our place very tidy and looked after our doggies like they were her own. We received lots of updates on what was happening. I would definitely recommend Fee and hope to have her back for another sit.

This is the second time we've used Fee's services. Again, we felt completely at ease with her care of our house and cats, and appreciated the frequent updates and photos. We'll definitely be booking her again for our next holiday.
Fee looked after our house, plants and dog for 3 weeks. She sent photos of our dog while we gone which was nice. There were a few issues with communication due to her phone having low memory causing issues with sending/receiving WhatsApp messages. During our return, we kept Fee updated with our ETA but didn't get a reply. When we got back she seemed very unprepared to leave, with her stuff all around the house.

During our return, we kept Fee updated with our ETA but didn't get a reply. When we got back she seemed very unprepared to leave, with her stuff all around the house. We went out for coffee & grocery shopping to give her some space to finish cleaning her stuff and leave. She used this time to make/eat food and have a shower. She left 2.5 hours after we got home. The house was messier than how we left it and multiple plants out the front had died. There were doggy poo bags outside in the corner. She was friendly and talkative in person

The Plumber also didn't arrive the day he said he would so I had to cancel some important appointments to wait around for hin. In the end he turned up at 7am & didn't need to enter the house. I ended up with a bad ear infection as & so was quite unwell with vertigo etc so walked Lilly, watered all plants in backyard, many inside plants & front door area with succulents. You gave me the wrong ETA & my friend was due to help me pack as I was very unwell yet cancelled last minute. My phone memory clogged up last few days of the long sit & I was sending regular updates by text & pics. I couldn't vacuum bedroom- vertigo. Floorboards & kitchen etc cleaned .

Fee has house sat for me before and it was great to welcome her back again. My 2 cats seem very relaxed and comfortable with her. She left my house spotless. I would definitely have her back again.
Thanks for your lovely words Anne. Always a great pleasure to stay with your sweet cats. Anytime! 😊
We booked Fee to take care of our little Daschund Frankie over the long weekend. Frankie can be quite particular with who he likes, and he immediately took to Fee! He absolutely adored her. Fee took great care of him when we were away, giving him his daily medication, and sending us lots of pics and updates. We would definitely have Fee sit for us again (and I know Frankie would love it too!)
Awwe thanks for such lovely words Keira! You're such a wonderful family & I immediately felt so welcome in your lovely home. Frankie liked to give me little licks just to let me know we're friends!

Fee was great, the pets were all good.
Fee did an amazing job of looking after our cat Aria. She kept us regularly updated and was very responsive. Aria was super happy and calm when we came back from our trip away - she was in good hands with Fee. She also kept the house very clean. We would happily have Fee stay again!
Thanks for your lovely review Bianca. It was my absolute pleasure keeping Aria company as she's a real sweetheart. I look forward to sitting again in the future. Keep well! Fee x

Fee was a delightful chatty person who cared for our cats with all her heart. She kept us updated with regular photos & check-ins. One of our kitties is a very nervous feline, but we came back to two very relaxed cats, a tidy house and a garden that was still alive even after Melbourne's intolerable 40+ degrees days. Well done, Fee. We'd love to book you again in future.
Fee was amazing and took great care of our girl
Thank you Brooke for ensuring I had a relaxing stay with Ziggy. She's a stunning pupper & I miss her company! 🥰 x

Thank you Adrian. It was such a pleasure hanging with Pablo & Moni! They are great cats full of character & become my new besties during my stay! I'd love to return any time at all! Keep well! Fee 😁
Fee was amazing. She was very patient with our crazy boxer puppy and regularly kept us up to date throughout. Thank you so much Fee, we really appreciated your care.

Fee was my first house sitter with Aussie House Sitters. Couldn't have been happier! My cat Zephie warmed to her straight away (Zephie is quite a shy cat around people). I came home from a 5 day trip to a very clean house and happy, relaxed cat. Fee provided regular updates and photos of Zephie. Highly recommend this house sitter.
Your kind words are very much appreciated Gillian! I'm missing the little sweetheart! 🤗☺️ x

Communication was a struggle from the start, notably when she arrived hours late to pick up the keys. Unfortunately, on the first night my dog had an upset belly and soiled the living room rug. Instead of cleaning it, the rug was rolled up with the waste still inside and left in the bathroom. Furthermore, despite clear instructions that Willow, as a working breed, needs a daily walk, she wasn't walked once during the entire sit (due to Fee having a sore foot). Upon my return the house was not cleaned & she hadn't finished packing -4pm. Overall, while nice, the lack of attention to pet care instructions and basic house cleanliness made this a disappointing house-sitting experience.

I had cleaned the rug yet there is only so much you can do & fortunate she is a small doggo! As an owner I would have taken the rug away knowing Willow was vomiting so it was unfair to expect me to clean it & leave it there knowing it may get soiled so common sense please! I cleaned up yet with a cream shaggy rug it's a losing battle! Willow wasn't up to walking with diahorrea & she was very quiet & not her usual self. I wasn't going to force a sick & reluctant doggo outside in the rain & cold. I took my cues from her. I stayed home every night & all day to care for Willow so unfortunately this wasn't appreciated. This wasn't a paid sit.

Fee stepped in last-minute after a cancellation and was really lovely and communicative. She kept me posted and I came home to a happy cat! Would definitely recommend her as a sitter.
Fee was an excellent sitter. Her communication was great and the cats were very happy, she sent us some lovely photos of Fudge having cuddles. She was easy going and very easy to deal with too.
I appreciate your lovely words Ash. It was my absolute pleasure caring for your furry babies. 😁

She kept blaming her landlord and her son for this, and I understand that sometimes circumstances catch a person unawares, but would have liked just a little more personal responsibility for organizing the place for when the owner returns tired from a long plane journey.

MoreFirstly Catherine had expected me to be waiting at her apartment for her arrival from Bali to return the keys to her as discussed. I had explained that my son was due to meet me to collect his Christmas & birthday presents 2 days before my sit ended. He had a family emergency so I was left with his items due to this. He lives interstate. As I'd recently had a medical procedure I needed help carrying items & I did organise help on 2 subsequent occasions yet I was cancelled on suddenly.  Yes this wasn't ideal I agree yet circumstances left me high & dry. Catherine was happy to chat at length about her holiday so by the time I got to leave it was getting on. I was very apologetic & explained my circumstances to Catherine so I'm surprised by her less than favourable review. Having no available parking near by & being an apartment on the 4th floor made things a bit difficult for me unfortunately as I was recovering from my medical procedure & was instructed not to carry or lift. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Re communication with Kate I actually tried calling & also preceded or followed up wlth a text to have another chat before the commenced. She didn't respond to me in a timely manner saying she hadn't noticed my call or text as she was busy with her baby. Unfortunately by the time Kate replied hours later I had my phone on charge & she was asking if we could chat the next day which was fine with me. My phone was never disconnected at all. I actually replied to Kate's tardy messages as soon as they pinged on my phone. It was very frustrating trying to connect with Kate yet I understand how busy things can get with a family. Kate was aware I had committments in Melbourne & that I'd arrive after dinner time. If I was 8 + hours late I would have arrived at 2-3am which certainly wasn't the case! She said not to stress as she said a local girl who had minded her pets previously could easily check on the pets if necessary. Driving down in a bad storm with torrential rain & high winds was hairy yet I had let Kate know my Eta & was in constant contact with her that Friday by email & text so to say my communication was sporadic is grossly incorrect & untrue! I sent many videos, photos & updated messages the whole 10 day sit. I hurt my knee just prior to the sit slipping on water & so when I organised an MRI upon my return to Melbourne which showed bruising to my knee so nothing too serious thankfully. I actually walked Sunny on numerous occasions not just the once! & we enjoyed long 1 and half hour to 2 hr walks. I also put a lot of time & energy into playing with the pup throwing balls on the garden & playing tug with rope toys etc which she enjoyed & also tired her out! Kate mentioned that the large house was super clean upon their arrival back home. I was surprised when the family arrived home around 3pm when Kate had originally told me they'd return home very late in the evening after dinner around 8pm or later. Luckily I had cleaned the house, bathrooms, kitchen, kitty litter & vaccumed the day & night before & I was packing my car & in the process of taking the dog for her last walk. The weather had been terrible with heavy rain winds & storms so it wasn't ideal to get out for long walks during my 10 day stay. I stayed home every evening & only left the house for walks & to go to the shops as I knew the pets would be missing their family especially the Golden Retriever as Kate worked from home. Unfortunately Kate didn't mention any of these things when she met me. I found her to be quite unfriendly & cold towards me upon our first meeting when they arrived home & actually felt very uncomfortable in her presence. Usually I like to meet the family before a sit. It's a shame Kate wasn't happy yet some people just can't be pleased matter how hard you try. I wish the family lots of luck settling into Australia.

Fee did a wonderful job of looking after our fur babies while we were away. I think they'll really miss her. I wouldn't hesitate to ask Fee to sit for us again. 🙂

Fee has done several house sits for me and my partner over the last couple of years or so, generally for a few weeks at a time. Our house comes with a little bit of an outdoor garden, quite a few house plants and, most importantly, a fluffy grey cat called Moomow. Moomow warmed to Fee straight away as witnessed first hand when Fee came over to introduce herself before she house sat for us on the first occasion. I think she is one of those people that animals just intuitively take a liking ...

I think she is one of those people that animals just intuitively take a liking to! Fee has been very diligent in caring for our house, plant life and cherished kitty. She is also an excellent communicator which is important when you are away... sometimes in a different time zone! I would not hesitate to recommend her for other house sits. She is also just a lovely person :)

Fee was an excellent house sitter who take great care of the house and in particular our labrador puppy. She communicated with us regularly and asked questions when she needed to, but was never intrusive, just stayed in touch. We would recommend Fee to other house owners looking for someone to look after both your house and your dog.
Fee was on time for our meeting before the housesit. She also kept us up to date with our 12 hens and put them away every night. I would highly recommend her for anyone who requires house/pet sit. She was very friendly, even water our garden and put the household bins out without us having mentioned that to her. Thank you so much for making our trip possible.
Fi was a great house sitter!! She looked after our very needy 8 year old golden retriever for 3 weeks. Her communication was excellent & the dog was very well cared for. Would highly recommend her!
Fee was great. Looked after our dog Aggie and cat Pussa. She left our house perfectly clean and was friendly, reliable and appropriately communicated before and during the stay. Recommended for your sit.
We had Fionna sit for us recently. We are extremely happy with how she looked after our two dogs, garden and home. She sent us regular updates over the ten days we were away and was able to accommodate us when our flights over and return were rescheduled with the Jetstar problems at the moment. I would love to have her sit for us again in the future. She is wonderful :)
Fionna looked after our house and our boisterous Weimaraner, Banjo, for two weeks. I was very nervous as this was the first time we had a house sitter or dog sitter and we were traveling overseas. Fionna was prompt, kept us updated on Banjo, and when we came home the house was immaculate and Banjo was a happy as can be. He is a very active dog and a couple walks a day and can have a mind of his own at times. I can't recommend Fionna enough - she was great and hope she can take care of Banjo ...

Thanks Fionna for a great housesit! We came home to a happy cat and tidy home. Thanks also for the SMS updates and personable, friendly communications. I would highly recommend Fionna to take good care of you pets and home. All the best Fionna with your future house sitting.
Five star sitter! I asked Fionna to cat sit for me again for the weekend in Jan 2022. Each time, Fionna has been such a great communicator and left the house looking lovely. My cat is calm and happy when I get home. Thanks again Fionna!
Fee was very easy going and a good communicator. She took care of our (large) garden and cat for 2 weeks over new years and we came back to a spotless house and fresh muffins!

Fiona was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Excellent communication and great enthusiasm for taking care of our fur babies. She took wonderful care of our home and our cats while we were away and we happily recommend her services to anyone. We look forward to having her help us out again!
Fiona did all that we asked her to do with a happy smile and a generous attitude. Her care of the pets was all that we could ask for, we would use her again.
Fee did a great job looking after the house and especially Henry. We were in constant contact and I felt very comfortable knowing he was in great care while I was away. I highly recommend Fee as a house sitter and caring for any pets.

Fee was an excellent sitter for my two dogs. I could not fault her in any aspect of her care in my home. When I need a sitter again, I will certainly call on Fee. RA 5/7/19

As always, Fee was excellent. The animals were happy, the plants were healthy and the house was just as tidy as I left it. Thanks Fee!

Fee was an excellent house-sitter, and a lovely person. She took great care of our dog, cats, fish and garden and I wouldn't hesitate recommending her as a trustworthy and no-fuss house-sitter. She's so good I'm asking her to look after my home again!
Fi was fantastic - good communication, very reliable and we returned to a clean and tidy house and a very happy dog - we would be very confident recommending Fi!
Garden Maintenance

Green garden!

Make sure the garden and pot plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
