I've been house/pet sitting for over 10 years now, as I love animals and love being in different locations for work and travel.
I've cared for cats, dogs, chickens, bunnies and guinea pigs mostly, but have owned goldfish, budgies, dogs, cats and a goat, and was a keen horse rider as a kid.
I've also cared for dogs and cats who are old, don't get on with other animals; nervous, shy and rescued pets, I've looked after properties, swimming pools, and houses only as well.
I'm a happy and quiet, eco-friendly, non-smoker. I will leave your house clean and tidy and your pets well loved and cared for. I work part time from home so can be around for pets who are used to having someone there.
I love sending pet owners regular updates with photos of us back at home, and will keep in contact as much as you'd like while you're away.
There are some lovely reviews on my profile from happy pet/home owners, so please have a peruse of those too.
If you feel I'm a good fit for you, drop me a line with any questions you have, or to have a chat about your needs.
Warm wishes to you all and I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends very soon!
Christine

Christine was all that we could have hoped for, it felt like a friend was looking after our house and much loved kits. From the first time she met us we felt confident and comfortable, and seeing how beautifully she interacted with the cats at first meeting confirmed that she was the perfect choice. Our shy girl was following her round within an hour and the gorgeous photos and updates she sent were genuine and thoughtful.

Our shy girl was following her round within an hour and the gorgeous photos and updates she sent were genuine and thoughtful. Our house was spotless when we returned , only some furry family missing their new friend told us that she had even been there. Christine is welcome any time with us and we would recommend her to anyone requiring a trustworthy, responsible and friendly housesitter who will treat every aspect of your home as you would yourself.

Christine is wonderful and I would highly recommend her services. My cat, Coco absolutely loved Christine and was very content while I was away. The house was spotless when I returned. I could really enjoy my time away and not worry about anything.
KAREN (Thornleigh NSW, Mar 2024 - 2 nights)
Fantastic! Great communication and updates on our cats, they were very well looked after! Christine was lovely person and we had complete peace of mind knowing she was looking after the house.
Christine was a fantastic sitter for Bear. She took the time to understand his little quirks and I believe they are now besties. Christine’s communication was excellent, and highly entertaining. I could rest easy knowing Bear was in such good hands. I came home to a happy cat and a super clean house. Highly recommend Christine

Christine was absolutely incredible. She looked after our two cats and puppy like they were her own. She walked the dog every day, embedded herself in our local community dog park and made friends, ensured Millie was happy and walked each day and sent photos of all three animals each day to keep our minds at rest. The apartment was left spotless, with clean sheets on the beds, washing on the line drying. Christine sent a comprehensive text upon departure updating me on what had been done, ...

SAMANTHA (Bellevue Hill NSW, Dec 2023 - 1 week 1 night)
We were so lucky to have Christine house sit for us and look after our cats too. We stayed in touch with daily updates and photos. The cats also bonded well with Christine and kind of missed her after we got back. The house was clean and smelled great with fresh air which is awesome when you get back after a holiday.
This was our first time getting a house sitter and I hope we can get Christine again in the future wherever we go away.
NEELAKSHI (Lisarow NSW, Nov 2023 - 1 week 3 nights)
There is no better communicator in the industry! From our first contact to the wonderful care that Christine provided for Harper we have been delighted with the service that we received.
FIVE STAR SERVICE!
STUART (Paddington NSW, Jun 2023 - 11 days)
Christine was AMAZING! The entire process was seamless and I left home feeing very reassured. Sending photos of the dogs was a caring touch. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.
MARGARET (Hornsby NSW, Feb 2023 - 4 days)
As it was our first time using a house sitter to look after our house and 2 little sausage dogs we were a little nervous. Christine is obviously very experienced and put us at ease from the first time we made contact. The dogs loved her as soon as they met her. While we were away she sent regular updates with photos and videos of the doggies which we loved. We came home to a nice clean house and happy healthy dogs.

Christine was so good she always keeped me upto date with what Smokey was doing, and when we got home our house had being looked after and Smokey was very happy.
DIANA (Gillieston Heights NSW, Jun 2022 - 1 week)
Christine did a fantastic job looking after my place and fur baby. I came back to a clean place and a happy kitty cat.
ANNE-MAREE (Brookvale NSW, Mar 2022 - 6 days)
Christine was honestly one of the best house sitters we have ever had and I would jump at the chance to have her take care of our two cats again. She was prompt in her communications and kindly kept us updated while we were gone with very funny commentary on the great photos she took. She was also flexible with timings and shifting points of contact when I had to be unavailable for a day due to an exam. We loved having Christine house sit for us and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.
ANASTASIA (Wattle Grove NSW, Mar 2022 - 1 week)
I was very hesitant about having a stranger in my home and looking after my girls but I was not comfortable sending them to a catery. Christine came twice before I left for holidays and meet the girls. She sent regular texts & photos which was just lovely and settle my anxiety until I had no service on my phone!! I would highly recommend Christine & Aussie House Sitters and hopefully I get another chance for a holiday soon.
JULIE (Blackwall NSW, Mar 2022 - 5 days)
Christine was wonderful! I came home from holidays to a clean and tidy house and happy pets. The communication was excellent! Daily pics and updates. I hope Christine can stay again.
JO (Umina Beach NSW, Jan 2022 - 7 days)
I would highly recommend Christine to anyone who is looking for someone to look after their fur kids (and house). We have 2 x 14 year old staffies and they take a lot of looking after. Christine was truly amazing with them. There was constant communication about them, daily photos and she went way above and beyond to make sure they were as comfortable as possible. Even giving them medication as required - nothing was a hassle and gave us a lot of comfort knowing they were being looked after ...

The house and courtyard was immaculate when we came home.
I wouldn't hesitate to have Christine housesit again - truly amazing and I wish i could give her 100 stars out of 5.
LEEZA (Paddington NSW, Jan 2022 - 2 weeks)
Our boys LOVED Christine! We'd welcome Christine back to our home and cats in a heartbeat.
PRITHI (Waverley NSW, Dec 2021 - 4 days)
Everything a housesitter should be and more. Loved by Aygie and Dorian (but especially by our scaredy-cat, Dorian). Thank you, Christine.
SUSAN (Lilyfield NSW, Dec 2021 - 2 weeks)
Christine sat our house and 3 legged cat Oscar recently and she was amazing
The updates were perfect her communication ideal and our beautiful cat feel in love with her
The house was spotless as was the outdoor areas ..highly recommended this fantastic lady we certainly will get her back
Ten out of ten ❤️
RAY (Wamberal NSW, Dec 2021 - 1 week 1 day)
Christine is one of those people that you always know your fur baby and property is in good hands with! Eddie absolutely loved her (and that's enough for me) and I was so grateful for her communication and updates and making sure Ed stayed in his routine.
An absolutely stellar sitter and I'm hoping she'll be around for ever.
HOLLY (Wollstonecraft NSW, Nov 2021 - 1 week)
Christine looked after our two elderly cats and the garden while we were away over Easter. Her communication was great and included updates on the girls during the sit. I felt very comfortable having Christine sit for us and would welcome her back when we go away again.
JENNY (Hornsby NSW, Apr 2021 - 4 days)
Christine is an amazing housesitter, very organised and on the ball. If she wasn't sure of something she would send me a quick text. She also sent me regular "doggie" updates with photos. She was also prepared to go the extra mile, suggested by herself, in which she helped me with some Chritmas lunch pre-prep, which I was very grateful for! Christine is a lovely lady and I would be more than happy to recommend her for any future housesits.
JENNY (MUDGEE NSW, Dec 2019 - 1 week 2 days)
Its a shame there's only five stars as ten are needed, dogs were groomed walked and mostly loved, as far as house care well probably better than how we left it ! can't think of one slight negative which made leaving our dogs for first time worry free, glad Christine also enjoyed her stay and enjoyed the area
ANTHONY (Bonnet Bay NSW, Nov 2019 - 1 week)
This was our first experience of using a house sitter and Christine was fantastic. She looked after our house and pets (2 dogs and 2 cats) and we couldn't be happier. She sent regular updates about the animals, one of which was sick and needed medication, which Christine administered very diligently. We would definitely use Christine again.

We have 2 cats, one who was just recovering from a major operation and needed to be monitored for a few weeks as she was becoming more mobile again. Christine assured us it would be okay and not a problem.
We also had a pool and garden areas that need to be cared for. She was also happy to tend to those needs also.
During our holiday we received regular contact from Christine with photos and updates of how the cats were and also of any issues that arose. She was able to resolve all issues without any problems.
We were extremely impressed with how Christine cared for our cats and looked after our home. We returned to 2 very relaxed cats and a tidy home. It gave us confidence that Christine was at home and we were able to enjoy our holiday with the stress of worrying about the cats welfare and that our home was being taken care of.
We have already asked Christine for another stay pending her availability next year. We have no hesitation in recommending Christine as a reliable, responsible, warm and friendly sitter if you want your pets and home loved and cared for as you would want.
ADRIAN (Hornsby NSW, Sep 2017)
Our first, but not our last, experience with aussiehousesitters, we'll certainly ask Christine to look after our home and furrbabies again. We arrived home to find two happy, relaxed ragdolls & a pristine home. Christine is a wonderful house sitter, caring, conscientious and responsive. We highly recommend Christine to look after your home and cats and dogs.
EMMA AND JOSIE (Glebe NSW, Apr 2017 - 1 week 1 day)

We could not recommend Christine highly enough and look forward to her coming back again for our next holiday.
JENNIE (Cromer NSW, Jan 2017)
Christine was a wonderful housesitter for my big, playful kitten Mac. She left the house in great condition, and the animals (including two chickens) in a state of blissful peace. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her as reliable, careful, good at neighbourly relations, and general and round excellent sitter. I would be very glad (and lucky) to have her back!!!

MOREChristine is very experienced in House sitting and made me feel confident and at ease from our first contact. Christine recently looked after my 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels dogs and my house while I went to Perth for a week. Christine is a very friendly and experienced house and pet sitter and she looked after both wonderfully. She goes above and beyond to ensure all is well while you are away and even walked me too and from the station, helping me with my luggage both ways. Romeo and Jasper (the dogs) both took to her straight away and where very well looked after and received lots of cuddle time and walks. Christine kept in touch and sent pictures of the dogs regularly to ease my mind that they were ok. She handles any problems that might occur with ease and kept me informed if there was any problems. She also ensured she kept the house immaculate and in even better condition than when I left. Christine did a wonderful job of looking after both the dogs and my house.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Christine to anyone who is looking for a reliable and responsible person to house sit in the future.
I am happy to be contacted if anyone would like to ask me anything else in relation to Christine house and pet sitting.

WENDY (Ingleburn NSW, Nov 2016)
A few months ago I asked Christine if she would be able to house sit and take care of our two cats whilst my partner and I went overseas. This was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Christine sent regular emails and photos of our furr babies which was just great and lovely to see their faces. When returning back to our home we were greeted by an immaculately clean house and two very happy cats!! Would highly recommend Christine to anyone requiring a house sitter in the future.

She was great with Angel (the cat) and I was happy to leave my home in her safe hands. I had to extend my trip for a few more weeks so I had to find a new house sitter (unfortunately for me Christine already had another booking) and she did a great handover to the new sitter. I couldn't have been more happy with her and I'd recommend her wholeheartedly.
ALISON (Ashfield NSW, May 2016 - 4 weeks)
Christine house sat for us during our recent holiday and we returned to a very clean and tidy house, a happy dog and a welcome meal which she had prepared for us. We have no hesitation in recommending her for your house sit as she is a most personable and lovely person.
