Friendly, engaging, warm natured. and a true animal lover. I am a homebody, enjoying the quiet calm life both at home and in nature, grateful for every moment spent with new four legged friends.

I am a homebody, enjoying the quiet calm life both at home and in nature, grateful for every moment spent with new four legged friends.

I first left the United States and set out on my own with a heart to see and learn from different cultures and people all over the world. In the past 5 years I have been living strictly abroad. In that time I have been so blessed to have such wonderful experiences helping out others, caring for their homes, their gardens, their pets all over the world.

From staying on beautiful farms in Tuscany, Italy, to the most Northern parts of Norway to here in Australia and everywhere in between I am blessed for each opportunity I have been entrusted with. I believe that it is so important to care for and treat others possessions and four legged family members as if they were your very own.

I also know how difficult it can be for animals to feel a bit displaced or stressed when their owner is gone and how it can feel intimidating to open your home to a stranger. I hope to put your wishes at the highest priority and make you feel as comfortable as possible by listening to your needs and doing my best to make it an easy and comfortable transition. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

She was looking after my fur baby better than I could ever imagine was possible. She kept me up to date with photos and messages which was amazing. I came back to a neat and tidy house, which was such a nice feeling. I can't speak highly enough of her and her professionalism! Everything was amazing from communication to keeping my apartment clean and most importantly keeping my cat happy and safe.

Everything was amazing from communication to keeping my apartment clean and most importantly keeping my cat happy and safe. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone, and have even passed her details to my friends for when they need a house sitter. I will absolutely be using Charlize again for future sits when needed.

Charlize took such sweet care of my Nyah for 6 weeks! Sent thoughtful pics throughout the stay, and I arrived home to a very happy and contented kitty. The house was beautifully cleaned and she had even done a number of extra helpful tasks, knowing that I would be arriving home late. Thank you lovely! We so appreciated your care and kindness.
Both Charlize and Cecilia were excellent housesitters. After being away for 5 weeks I came home to a clean and tidy home and happy, well cared for pets. Their communication while I was away was great. I received plenty of updates and photos to put my mind at ease that everything was going well.. I would not hesitate to recommend both girls to anyone looking for great caring housesitters. I only hope that they will be available again when I am going away in July/Aug 26
Charlize took care of our home and two cats over four days during a recent working holiday. I cannot fault the level of care, communication, cleanliness and warmth she has and I would without a doubt use her services again and recommend her to all. Well done Charlize and thank you ❤️
Cecilia and Charlize did an amazing job, looked after the property and the animals perfectly with great communication! Thank you so very much!!
Very happy with Charlize and Cecilia especially with caring for our cat and excellent communication regarding our cat and the house as necessary. We received lots of photos of our cat which was reassuring. The garden was well cared for and everything in the house was in good order and cleaned well on our arrival home. We had our bed made up with clean sheets and towels on our return ( like being in a motel after a long trip in our van ).The washing and cleaning of the house was of a good ...

Would definitely recommend Charlize to anyone looking for an excellent house sitter. She was perfectly communicative, super lovely with the kitties, and incredibly thoughtful with her care of the house. Very happy with the experience and thanks again to Charlize!
Charlize was our first ever housesitter and from our first message onwards, we felt very comfortable having her in our home and more importantly, looking after our kitties. She was very accomodating and communication was great. We received updates while away and came back to a spotless house! I would recommend Charlize without hesitation. Thanks again :)
Cecilia has sat for us twice now and we have no hesitation in recommending her - and Reggie & Coco love her!
Charlize and Cecelia are amazing Housesitters! They looked after our 3 cats, goldfish and garden for 3 months while we were away in Europe. From the moment we met them, we knew they were the right choice. Relaxed, friendly and so caring towards our pets. Communication was always wonderful and the cats bonded so quickly with them. Our house was very well looked after and the garden was well cared for. Both these girls are beautiful souls who we would trust with our pets and house any day! Highly ...

Charlie and Cecilia are the best best of the best. Couldn't have asked for 2 more wonderful carers of my home and my 3 dogs. I left my car for their use as well and it was returned as given. I would welcome them back time and again xx
Charlize looked after my scaredy cat, Handsome Leo, and plants very well while I was away. She kept in close contact when car trouble prevented her from arriving on time as well as during her stay. As expected, Handsome Leo did spend much time under the sofa, but it was lovely to hear that he did venture out during her stay, and felt comfortable enough to allow belly rubs towards the end. He was happy and relaxed when I returned. Charlize followed my instructions and left the flat, plants and ...

Charlize and Cecelia took good care of my house and my two rescue cats whilst I was overseas for a month. Communication was every couple of days and included pictures of the cats. I returned to the house looking as clean and tidy as when I left which was great 😊
Charlize and Cecilia were great ! Betty was well looked after and our house was spotless . Would not hesitate to have them here again !
Charlize and Cecilia took great care of my home and pets. Communication was great and they were very accommodating with shifting return times. My home was tidy and there were fresh sheets on the bed to come home to which is always a treat. Would absolutely reach out for a repeat stay!
Charlize and Cecilia were amazing sitters for the house and our two rescue greyhounds. They had to (unfortunately) deal with an emergency vet visit, and were so great at communicating with us through the whole process. Thankfully our dog was fine, but they did have to give him medication for a few days after. We originally had them booked for one month, however our visit to NZ had to be extended, and they were great at working with us to extend their sit and work with another sitter in-between. ...

I honestly couldn't recommend these two more and will definitely be in touch again if another sit is required in the future. Thank you so much Charlize and Cecilia, the pups were well loved and looked after by you.

Charlize & Cecilia showed real care for my dog and made me feel very comfortable whilst I was away, When I returned home my house was clean and well looked after. Following a delay in my travel plans, they were fantastic in accommodating a bit of a later stay and departure and during the sit they sent me regular photo updates of my fur-child :) .....
Charlize is a beautiful warm caring person who took great care of my cat and apartment. Everything was left clean and as I had left it when I returned. Charlize communicated regularly with pictures of Mr Timmy. I would highly recommend Charlize for your pet and house sit, but as I am moving overseas I unfortunately will not have the opportunity to engage her again.
Charlize was the perfect Housesitter. She took the time to FaceTime to meet us all and even popped over for a coffee the day before we left to run through the house and cat routine! Charlize made us feel extremely comfortable and kept us updated with photos and updates of our boy for the duration of our holiday. We also returned to a spotless house and fresh sheets! Couldn’t be happier and hope we can have her again for our next holiday!! Thanks Charlize ❤️
Charlize did a great job with my 2 cats, its always a bonus when the sitter is affectionate and can connect with the pets in a way that they might not miss their human too much! She posted regular updates of the pets to me and was very pleasant to work with. Certainly recommend her!
