A1 Peace of mind for your Pets

60, Aged Care/Animal Welfare Student

Hi, I'm Cathy & I look forward to assisting you to have that well-needed holiday/getaway, or family event, etc - guaranteeing to take great care of your home, property, & your furry family members! I've done many house-sits since becoming an 'Aussiehousesitter' (reviews on profile). A non-smoker, & former assistant to hospital dietician, I've been coordinating an outlet of Vic Foodbank from 2015-2019 (until covid) in Eaglehawk, Bendigo. Its my passion to assist others (with dignity), & build social inclusion within community. Its also my War on Waste!. PS. My 17yo Honey passed in Dec 2019 so I've lots of love to give others furbabies!
Update: March'20-Dec'22 I've been a full-time resident carer in country Vic, assisting also with property/estate maintenance of 3 acres. No pets. But an interesting menagerie of wildlife, & birds. Have been involved with wildlife rescue in Clunes where I've been based.

I was very happy with the care that Cathy gave to my two cocker spaniels. I came home to a sparkling clean house and two very happy dogs! It was easy to communicate with Cathy both before the sit began and during, when she was kind enough to send through reports and photos.

GILLIAN (Castlemaine VIC, Dec 2023 - 3 weeks)
Amazing House sitter - perfectly adapts to all situations. Very easy to communicate with and 10+ for looking after house, plants and pets. Would be happy to recommend to anyone except for the days we would like her to look after our place .
 
ALAN (Eaglehawk VIC, Dec 2023 - 1 week - 1 of 3 endorsements from this owner )
Cathryn was absolutely perfect for us and our fur babies, we could not have asked for anyone more suitable. I would thoroughly recommend Cathryn for house sitting 100 per cent.
 
KERRYN (Buderim QLD, Jun 2023 - 2 weeks 5 nights)
It was wonderful to have Cathy look after our little girl - Miss Puff. Cathy took her out every day and taught her new tricks, introduced her to new things and let her explore. Loved getting the photos while we were away, knowing she was in good hands. Thank you Cathy for looking after our baby so well.
 
BABETTE (Mooloolaba QLD, Apr 2023 - 3 weeks)
We welcome Cathy back anytime, She is efficient, trustworthy and an amazing empathy for our pets. Cant recommend highly enough. Her added attribute is her willingness to keep in touch regarding all and this is important to us as we rely on her 100% when we are away for 3 months or so. House always clean when we return and often surprise food packages. in fridge, etc Over the years we have always found her 110% trustworthy and again always happy to recommend her (unless we need her)
 
ALAN (Eaglehawk VIC, Jun 2022 - 3 months - 2 of 3 endorsements from this owner )
Cathy looked after our home and pets extremely well, the house was spotless when we got home and she was happy to extend the sit for a couple of days when our holiday was extended. She even left us a prepared dinner for the day we came home which is a nice touch.We would have no hesitation recommending here for future sits.
 
CORAL (Highton VIC, Jan 2021 - 2 weeks)
Cathy must be a well sought after sitter. She and Earl are awesome and come highly recommended. Thanks again Alan & Chris
 
ALAN (Eaglehawk VIC, Feb 2020 - 1 week 6 days - 3 of 3 endorsements from this owner )
Thanks, looking forward to my third housesit in April, with your gorgeous cuddly fur-kids!!
I cannot recommend Cathy like her previous house owners have. We were missing various items from our house and her total disrespect for our house and garden was totally unacceptable. We are now reluctant to use this service again,,
 
JULIE AND ALLAN (Mildura VIC, Feb 2020 - 1 week 4 days)
In exercising my right of reply, I - (a) took great care of both dogs, administering medication twice daily with food (insufficiently supplied hence defrosting mince). (b) I respectfully cared, & cleaned, the home; watering large property/gardens, & providing security whilst owners absent. (c) ... MORE
No rating Cathryn looked after our home and precious fur babies at short notice. We can say we were extremely happy with the way she took care of everything. She even left us with a totally unexpected and unnecessary gift on our return. We can highly recommend Cathryn as a sitter for your home and would have no hesitation in having her house sit again.
BRIAN (PAYNEHAM SA, Dec 2019 - 1 week 1 day)
Thank you Kathy for looking after my property and my dear animals. Everything was ship-shape when I returned from my time away.
 
ELLEN (Maldon VIC, Sep 2019 - 1 month 1 week)
Very friendly and caring lady would recommend to house sit to anyone. Bluey got spoiled thanks Cathy
 
DOUG & PEGGY (North Bendigo VIC, Apr 2019 - 3 weeks)
Cathryn was just great! I was a first time house sit user and a bit apprehensive about a stranger in my house but Cathryn was just like having a friend stay. My Labrador dog needed to be taken to the vet for follow up treatment while I was away & that was no problem. She kept in touch with me all the time I was away overseas and I came back to a cleaner than when I left it home! I absolutely recommend Cathy to any homeowner going away and in fact I have rebooked her for my next away trip.
 
GRANT (Gordon VIC, Mar 2019 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Cathryn was just a wonderful house sitter. It was a pleasure to have her stay in my home. The dogs and my cat were so happy and well cared for and my home was lovely and clean to come home to. Cathryn was so reliable and very respectful and everything was done as requested. I recommend her very highly and would definitely be excited to have her stay again. She even made food for me to enjoy on my welcome home after a long journey I had such a peace of mind during the whole process and my ... MORE
 
V (Clifton Springs VIC, Feb 2019 - 6 days)
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Viv's lovely home, with Kelly & Pip & Willow. Viv left clear directions about everything, & kept in contact if I had queries. Thanks for a very special Easter/Anzac Day.
Cathy, was a great house/pet sitter taking great care of my pets (both of which required medication during the time I was away). I came home to two happy dogs and a spring cleaned home. I could not have asked for more and would recommend Cathy to future person for a house/pet sitter.
 
LEANNE (Castlemaine VIC, Sep 2018 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Cathy was the absolute best house sitter and pet sitter we could have found! She looked after our french bulldog a week after he had surgery and we felt very at ease knowing she was there. The house was immaculate when we got home and she sent us updates regularly. I would highly recommend her as a sitter, She is fantastic.
