Clean and quiet , animal lover

32, Freelance Illustrator /3D artist

Hi! I'm Non-smoker, clean, responsible and quiet. I have a Police Check, excellent references, and almost 5 years experience as
a housesitter. I love animals, plants and art. I work as a freelance Illustrator and 3D artist which means I spend a lot of time at home either sketching or using my laptop.

I'm usually around the Sydney area, and when I'm not house-sitting I'm in Newcastle. I recently graduated as a 3D artist and I'm looking for work in Sydney, which is why I am looking forward to house-sitting in the city and its surrounding suburbs.

I like to take care of other people's houses as if they were my own for as long as I live there. I will bring in the mail, keep everything clean, take bins in/out, care for your pets, water plants and keep you informed about my stay and your house. I have owned a cat and raised a wild pigeon, as well as taken care of other people's cats and fish in the past. But no matter what species your pet is, I'm happy to care for it! I like to give attention to animals (in fact, I can't help it!).

I look forward to hear from you!

Candela is a trustworthy and considerate house sitter who took great care of our 2 cats. She kept us up to date while we were away and we loved receiving the photos she sent of the cats too. Candela managed the cats eating regime perfectly (one tends to overeat) with no issues. We came home to a very clean and tidy house and very happy cats. I would absolutely recommend Candela as a housesitter and would love to have her back again. Thank you Candela!
 
KIRSTIN (Padstow NSW, May 2021 - 1 week)
Candela was awesome with our cats. We arrived back to a clean, neat and tidy house. She had even aired our rooms for us. The cats were happy, calm and chilled when we got back. We would be keen to have her housesit for us again if the dates align in the future!.
 
JOANNE (Pymble NSW, Apr 2023 - 1 week)
Candela was excellent. Great communication both before and during her stay. My very affectionate and demanding cat was well looked after. The house was spotless when we got back. For a first time user of the site, Candela put our minds at ease. We would definitely use her again. Thank you Candela
 
CAROLE (Pymble NSW, Dec 2022 - 1 week 2 days)
Candela was so easy & a delight to deal with , the house left immaculate and our cat Elliott was calm and happy. Will definitely have Candela back.
 
DEBORAH (Little Bay NSW, Nov 2022 - 1 week)
Candela did a wonderful job winning the affection my shy cat Communication was excellent, house was left spotless. Was releaving to know she was taking good care of the place while I was away.
 
ALLYSON (Mount Colah NSW, Oct 2022 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Candela proved to be an excellent house sitter. She did a great job looking after our home and giving us peace of mind that our cat was being well taken care of. She was easy to communicate with and conscientious about making sure that unforeseen things were attended to -such as the driveway becoming slimy and slippery with algae from the torrential rain over the past months. We would be glad to have her sit here again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a house sitter
 
MARGOT (East Killara NSW, Mar 2022 - 3 weeks)
Thanks Margot! It was a pleasure!
Candela was totally reliable as our house/cat sitter for a 5 week trip and her competence and genuine intuitiveness allowed us to relax while away and know that both our 2 old moggies and our house were in her capable hands. Communication was excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend Candela as an experienced and trustworthy house sitter.
 
ROSE (Caringbah South NSW, May 2021 - 1 month 1 week)
Candela did a great job looking after our cat Dexter while we were away and loved receiving the photos she sent of him. It was also great to come home to a very tidy house and I would definitely have Candela look after Dexter again. Thank you and much appreciated :-)
 
JANELLE (Kogarah NSW, Jul 2020 - 8 nights)
Unfortunately my holiday was cut short due to Covid 19 and Candela moved out ahead of time leaving everything clean and tidy. Candela had quite a way to travel and it would have been very inconvenient for her, but unusual circumstances. I would recommend her to others as she is a very pleasant, reliable and caring person.
 
LEXIA (Grays Point NSW, Mar 2020 - 1 week 2 days)
Candela did a great job looking after our house and our three kitties while we were away on a much-needed week-long break. She daily sent us photos of our darlings and left the house spotlessly clean on our arrival. She cared for our plants as per our instruction. I would heartily recommend her for her warm nature and attention to detail. We're looking forward to her next 3-week-long sit in February!
 
PHILIP (North Ryde NSW, Dec 2019 - 1 week)
Candela was a wonderful housesitter. We would welcome her back anytime. The house was really clean when we arrived home, and our cat was healthy and very content. Candela even made toys for our cat to play with. Candela was easy to communicate with, always very responsive. She sent photos of our cat to us while we were away, which we loved. I highly recommend Candela as a housesitter.
 
HENRIETTA (North Geelong VIC, Jul 2019 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Candela looked after Quinn for us for 3 days. She had excellent communication skills throughout the whole process from her quick response to my listing through the lead up to her stay and throughout. I highly recommend Candela. Quinn took to her straight away and was well cared for. She also left my house clean and tidy. Thank you Candela!
 
NICOLE (Whittlesea VIC, Jun 2019 - 3 days)
No rating I met Candela before I went out for my trip. My cat liked her immediately. She was very responsible and took good care of Mogla and the flat. Can't thank her enough!!
BARBARA (Kingsgrove NSW, Aug 2018 - 1 week 1 day)
No rating Candela looked after our 2 cats while we were away for a little over 2 weeks. I can not fault Candela, she was very professional, reliable and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend Candela to anyone, especially people with cats. The place was clean and tidy when we arrived home, the cats were well looked after and we were very pleased with our choice of house sitter. Thanks Candela, we hope to have Candela next time we go away.
KIAERA (Fairlight NSW, Mar 2018 - 2 weeks 2 days)
No rating Candela stayed at my apartment for 1 week, and looked after my 2 cats while I was away on business. The place was in the same state as I left it and the cats were happy. Very much appreciated. I will certainly contact her again next time I'm in need.
JOSLIN (Homebush NSW, Mar 2018)
No rating Absolutely blown away by Candela as a house/pet sitter! She was lovely, incredibly conscientious and responsible and left the house in spotless condition. My shy cat Miso even took to her straight away on our first meet n greet. I was able to enjoy my holiday knowing he and my place were in great hands. Candela was also very reliable in communication during my overseas trip and her cute pics of Miso also helped ease any concerns I had about being away for so long. I highly recommend Candela ... MORE
BRIANA (Wentworthville NSW, Dec 2017 - 4 weeks)
No rating We have used Candela on two occasions to house sit for us and take care of our two DevonRex cats. I can thoroughly recommend her-she is friendly,reliable and took care of our home and pets. She initially looked after everything for a weekend stay and we were more than happy to engage her again while on a 3 week overseas trip.
SALLY (Little Bay NSW, Apr 2017)
No rating Candela did a great job looking after our house and our two cats. She was easy going but diligent about tending to our various household needs. We arrived home to folded washing and a tidy house that looked as though no-one had ever set foot in it. Our cats were noticeably relaxed and it was clear that she had spent time with them. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter as she is trustworthy, friendly, reliable, self-sufficient and clean. - Steele and Amber, Sydney
AMBER AND STEELE (Kurrajong NSW, Apr 2017 - 1 month 1 week)
No rating Candela was SUCH an awesome Cat / House Sitter - we came home after 4 days away to a couple of happy, loved and content cats and a beautifully clean house! We were left a really lovely list of things Candela had done over the weekend - so we knew exactly what was what! Thank you SO much Candela, we'd love to have you back any time!!
