Hairy Pop-Ins

33, Advertising :: Allied Health

Hey Pet Lovers,

I'm Deanna, your friendly pet and house-sitting enthusiast! 🐾 At 33, I juggle my time between the exciting world of advertising and making a positive impact as an allied health worker. The best part? Most of my work happens right from the comfort of my home, ensuring your four-legged or finned friends get all the attention they deserve. Quick heads-up, though: I'm all in for the pet-sitting adventures, but a reliable internet connection is a must for my remote work!

In 2018, I made the move of giving up my rental to embrace full-time pet and house-sitting—until COVID hit pause on my housesitting adventures. I'm thrilled to be back in action and ready to sprinkle some love on your homes and pets!

Here's a bit more about me and what I bring to your home and pet(s):
🌟 Impeccable tidiness
🌈 LGBTIQA+ friendly
📚 Downtime devoted to reading, Netflix binging, and unwinding in general
🍤 Pescatarian, non-smoker, non-drug user
🐝 Backyard beekeeping enthusiast
💑 Occasional visits from my fiancé, Daniel, a gas technician ensuring homes stay safe in Victoria. He might drop by on longer sits during his time off—with your approval, of course!

Raised among dogs, cats, and even a childhood turtle, my experience is a treasure trove. I firmly believe in the magic of a well-structured schedule to keep your pets happy and content. Each pet is unique, and I can't wait to immerse myself in their world, adapt to their quirks, and ensure they feel right at home while you're away.

Count on me for regular updates with photos, timely check-ins, and consider me your "Casper," the friendly housesitting ghost 👻—leaving your place as fresh and tidy as if I were never there.

Questions? I've got answers! I'm more than happy to provide police checks, references, and meet up in person before agreeing I'm the right fit. Don't just take my word for it—scroll down for glowing endorsements from previous pet owners below my profile.

Can't wait to connect with you and your furry or fishy friends!

Cheers, Deanna 🌟

Deanna house sat and pet sat for me whilst I was away on a work trip. I have two medium sized dogs that require two very different types of care and she ensured they both got exactly what they needed. Ample exercise and cuddles. She left the house spotless and kept me up to date daily with pet updates. I will definitely be using her services in the future.
 
DANIEL (West Footscray VIC, Jul 2022 - 1 week)
Deanna looked after our house and cat for 3 weeks and we couldn't be happier with her. She gave us regular updates based on our communication preferences and it was evident early on that our cat was settled and content. Deanna also looked after our home and watered our garden and pots. She is a very quiet conscientious person who we would invite again to look after our much loved cat and home. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to look after your pets and home.
 
JUDY & PAUL (Mount Eliza VIC, Apr 2024 - 3 weeks)
Deanna’s communication was fantastic leading up to our house sit and she kindly gave her time to drive down to meet our lab, Gus, prior to the sit. Deanna was very gentle and kind with our dog and also very confident in handling him. Unfortunately, Deanna became ill leading into the sit and the sit was cancelled, but she gave us as much notice as she could prior to the commencement of the sit and still offered to drop down to look after Gus even though she was very ill, which was really ...

Thank you Deanna for taking such good care of Monty. It was also hugely appreciated that we came back to a tidy and clean house. Communication throughout was second to none!
 
RAY AND MYRIAM (Mount Eliza VIC, Dec 2023 - 1 week)
Would highly recommend Deanna and have already asked her about pet sitting for me again! The place was spotless when I returned. Deanna was super communicative, and kept me up to date with photos without me having to ask. She was super flexible with unexpected changes to my travel plans. She even had her partner look at a plumbing issue in my home after I mentioned a tap wasn't working. Will absolutely have Deanna back again!
 
JENNA (Balaclava VIC, Oct 2023 - 5 nights)
Deanna babysat our house and pets for us while we were in Europe and she was fabulous. She left the house spick and span and she also had to take one of my dogs to the vet to be assessed which she did quite happily and kept us informed on my pets progress while we were away, I couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter, and I felt that she was completely trustworthy and honest in our home, I would not hesitate to ask Diana to babysit for us in the near future or when the need arises. ...

ADELE (Frankston Sth/mtEliza VIC, Jul 2023 - Fortnight)
Deanna was a wonderful house and pet sitter. Deanna looked after our place over the Christmas/New Year's period and took care of our cat while we were away for a month. Our house was kept nice and clean, our sheets were washed and put on the bed, she sent us a few photo updates of our little cat and kept in touch regularly. Really happy with Deanna and would use her next time we're away!
 
GREG (Elwood VIC, Dec 2022 - 30 days)
Deanna was excellent! Looked after the place and our animals very well. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for sitting.
 
KRISTINE (Fitzroy VIC, Sep 2022 - 3 days)
Deanna was a great house sitter and the proof in the pudding was a relaxed fur child waiting for us when we returned. Would be happy to recommend Deanna.
 
ASH (Hawthorn VIC, Apr 2021 - 2 weeks 5 days)
I had Deanna sit for me over March ,April, unfortunately I had to cut the time over Easter short because of COVID issue. Deanna was very understanding and made sure house was left lovely . Both my dog and cat were well looked after and happy with her company. Thanks Deanna for being so flexible and keeping everything clean and looked after. I would not hesitate to recommend Deanna for house sits and looking after your fur babies. I'm hoping to use her myself when I next plan a getaway.
 
DIANE (Albert Park VIC, Mar 2021 - 8 Days)
Deanna was great, very responsive, sent updates about my kitties and took good care of our place while we were gone. The cats seemed relaxed and happy when we returned and well looked after. Would happily have her sit again!
 
NATALIE (Abbotsford VIC, Mar 2021 - 1 week 3 days)
Deanna was the perfect house-sitter. The Cat and House were in immaculate condition on our return :)
 
OLIVIA (Frankston VIC, Dec 2020 - 1 week)
Deanna is a super lovely human who took very special care of my house and kitten. Thanks heaps!
 
ADELE (Northcote VIC, Feb 2020 - 7 days - 1 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Deanna met with us prior to our vacation, communicated with us during our holiday and cared for our house and pets magnificently !!! I would highly recommend Deanna to house sit. We will definitely use Deanna again to house sit and care for our pets if she is available in the future.
 
DAVID (Rye VIC, Sep 2019 - 4 weeks)
Deanna was everything we were looking for in a house sitter. She took great care of our little Georgia and had excellent communication. We could enjoy our vacation knowing Deanna was taking care of our place. Thanks again Deanna.
 
JYE (Northcote VIC, Aug 2019 - 3 weeks)
Deanna was super responsive and active to all of our questions for our high maintenance dog. Deanna was great in meeting up appropriately before hand and was more than accommodating of anything we required. Would 100% recommend and utilise Deanna again, a real pleasure and relief! Thank you Deanna xx
 
SOPHIE (Ormond VIC, Aug 2019 - 4 days)
Deanna is a wonderful house sitter and looked after our two old golden retriever's so well. We would recommend her to all our friends and would have her house sit again. Thankyou so much.
 
LEONIE (Mt Martha VIC, Jun 2019 - 4 weeks)
Deanna took great care of our house and our cat and dog. I would recommend her without hesitation . She kept us informed with messages and pictures so we could enjoy our holiday without worrying about the furkids . Thanks very much Deanna.
 
STEVE (Mornington VIC, May 2019 - 2 weeks 4 days)
Deanna was fantastic and we felt that Kingsley and Willow were in good hands. Kingsley is a Bernese Mountain Dog and weighs about 60kg but thinks he's a lap dog, but he was no trouble for Deanna. Willow is a Cavoodle and quite small. This was the first time we had used Aussie House Sitters and we would totally recommend them and look forward to using Deanna's services again. Would definitely recommend Deanna for any size fur baby she is amazing and we felt so comfortable leaving our babies ... MORE
 
WENDY (Rosebud VIC, Oct 2018 - 4 weeks)
Deanna did such a lovely job looking after little Peppi Muffin! She sent me cute pics so I could stay up to date with my little baby kitty and left the house in a better condition then when she found it. She also washed my towels - what a hunny bun!
 
ADELE (Northcote VIC, Sep 2018 - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Deanna did a great job looking after my cat and house. She was very responsive, polite, on time and had a lovely gentleness about her. She sent pictures to let me know how she and Millie were going. She left the house sparkling and ensured I had a fresh loaf of bread, a bottle of milk and replaced a few items that had expired in the fridge! I highly recommend Deanna and will definitely ask her to house sit for me in the future. :)
 
CHLOE (Bruswick VIC, Aug 2018 - 6 days)
No rating Deanna is a reliable housesitter and my cat looked well looked after on my return, she even managed to brush him!
JUTTA (Brunswick West VIC, Aug 2018 - 5 days)
Deanna housesat for us and looked after our kitten while we're on holiday for two weeks. She was very easy to communicate with and gave us regular updates on our little man while we're away. Deanna took excellent care of our apartment and she gave the house a good clean, changed the bedding, did the laundry and even left us some milk for when we got back. On a personal level Deanna is easy to get along with and has a lovely way with cats (as I'm sure she does with all pets) and we'd definitely ... MORE
 
KATIE ELLIOTT (BRUNSWICK VIC, May 2018 - 1 week 5 days)
Deanna spent just under 2 weeks at my home caring for my fur child, Buttons the Beagle. Deanna went out of her way to make me feel comfortable, especially as my trip was very last minute and I needed a sitter immediately. She quickly provided her references and police check on her first message to me which instantly put my mind at ease. Deanna was happy to come over and meet with me the day before the house sit. Her connection with Buttons was evident from the start when she welcomed ... MORE
 
REBECCA R (Footscray VIC, Apr 2018 - 1 week 3 days)
Deanna was fantastic sitting our little cat Sacha. She is an excellent communicator and savvy with technology so we got instant replies and pics during our time away. She kept the house amazingly clean and it was an absolute pleasure to walk back into. She had milk in the fridge and bed sheets washed and remade. 5 stars all the way. Excellent high quality sitter. :)

House Security

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
