Mature and experienced

50, Online study + work from home

I am an extremely responsible person, meticulous in my manner of keeping things clean and tidy and making sure that all tasks under my care and supervision are fulfilled. I understand the needs of maintaining a home/garden and different types of animals, having either owned or rented homes myself, as well as frequently looking after properties and pets professionally.

I both work and study online, which means I am present for the supervision of animals and any regulated garden maintenance etc.

Dianne was very good with our two cats and looking after our home. She's an enthusiastic and caring person and we would recommed her to others as someone who can be trusted to take very good care of both pets and home.
 
CAROLINA (Belgrave South VIC, Mar 2024 - 1 week 2 nights)
Dianne was a great communicator before, during and after the sit. She took on a large garden to care for and we very much appreciated that , especially during a Melbourne Summer. We set up a WhatsApp to communicate and this made it so helpful for any issues that arose during the sit. Dianne is friendly and thoughtful and we recommend her as a sitter. Thanks Dianne!
 
MEG (Parkdale VIC, Jan 2024 - 4 weeks)
Dianne was amazing, contacted over phone and met in person before the sit which was great. Very easy to work with and understood all my requirements and the house is taken care well and tidy while we were away. Our cat was very happy to be around her. I Would defenitely recommend Dianne for peace of mind while you are away.
 
MANJU (Point Cook VIC, Dec 2023 - 4 weeks)
Dianne was a great sitter for Heidi cat and looked after the house and plants really well. It was a bonus that she works from home and so was at the premises for the majority of time. Dianne is also a very good communicator and was flexible with days of stay. Can definitely recommend.
 
GINA (Tootgarook VIC, Nov 2023 - 1 week 4 nights)
Diane has done a fantastic job while we were enjoying our overseas holiday for almost a month. My two cats were so happy with her care. One of them still wants to stay close to her even we are back. Thanks Diane for looking after them as well as looking after my indoor plants. Home was kept clean too. I have no hesitation to recommend her as a Aussie House sitter.
 
CHAPA (Berwick VIC, Oct 2023 - 28)
Dianne was wonderful. Prior to the sit she was in contact several times to ensure that my plans had not changed, and to discuss what would be involved in the sit. Whilst I was away Dianne kept in regular contact to let me know how things were going. There were no major issues, and she was able to resolve the couple of minor ones that occurred, and let me know afterwards. It was a long break for me, and I was able to enjoy it all the more knowing that my home was being well looked after.

I am very grateful to Di for her great communication whilst I was overseas. I was at ease leaving my house and dog in her capable hands. Thanks 😊
 
SUE (Byford WA, Mar 2023 - 2 months)
Dianne was a great housesitter. We returned to a clean and tidy house, happy cat, healthy indoor and outdoor plants and mowed lawns. We were kept updated on everything, including with happy snaps of Arthur the cat. Perfect.
 
DOROTHY (Dover TAS, Jan 2023 - 5 weeks)
Dianne has been great and completely reliable. If she says she can do the sit, rain hail or shine she will be committed. She made our holiday so stress free knowing our cat, plants and home was in good hands. Thanks again Dianne!
 
BRETT (Hackham SA, Nov 2022 - 2 Weeks)
I was lucky to find Dianne as a last minute housesitter to take care of my cat Kurt. Kurt was very happy and cared for. Dianne sent me regular updates and we kept in touch during my time away. Absolutely recommend to have Dianne as a housesitter!
 
KATHARINA (Coburg North / Fawkner VIC, Sep 2022 - 3 weeks)
Dianne looked after our house, 2.5 hectare property and menagerie (cat, alpacas, goldfish, worm farm, and chickens!) for three long, cold, wet months from June to September. She did a great job under sometimes difficult circumstances and all our animals (our main concern) were happy and healthy on our return. She was particularly caring of our somewhat timid cat, who is very fearful of strangers but who ended up never letting Dianne out of her sight. Whatever problems occurred with the property ... MORE
 
MEROULA (Langwarrin VIC, Jun 2022 - 3 months)
Thanks so much, Dianne for a terrific house sit during demanding weather. You did a terrific job going well beyond what is expected! it was great to come home to such a clean and tidy house. Your communications were exemplary, and you did such great work with making our cat feel at ease and happy. We would highly recommend you to anyone pet and homeowner.
 
SETH (Heidelberg VIC, Jan 2022)
Dianne was extremely thorough and diligent in the care of our home and pet. The house was left in an impeccable state, and the communication was always timely and helpful. Thanks for your help Dianne!
 
KASIE (Brighton VIC, Dec 2021 - 4 weeks)
Dianne looked after our property from mid June to early October. Our main issue was security as we wanted someone living here and looking after our pot plants and garden. Dianne was very diligent about keeping us informed with issues related to our home and taking care of our pot plants that required hand watering. Also due to Covid our return home was delayed and Dianne was very flexible with extending her sit for as long as she could. We came home to a clean and tidy home and had no ... MORE
 
DENISE (Mount Martha VIC, Jun 2021 - Approx 4 months)
Dianne was an amazing house sitter who went above and beyond what we expected. During our time away we got regular updates (with pictures) of how the cats were going, and Dianne tended to the house like I had never seen anyone do before. Dianne even purchased a mat for us because ours was getting old. I could not believe it. She took care of the garden when we had not asked her too and the house looked fantastic, honestly, better than when we left. I honestly cant say how happy I was to have ... MORE
 
BRENDON (East Perth WA, Dec 2019 - 2 weeks)
Dianne was an ideal house-sitter. She came at short notice and we were very grateful for her willingness to do so. We had plenty of 'before-sitting' communication and a very pleasant evening before we left during which we filled her in on all our needs and got to know her a bit. Whilst we were away she handled a previously arranged visit by a tradesperson and kept us in the loop about how the work was progressing. She also sent us photos of our very happy and contented pets. Dianne left the ... MORE
 
MARION (Robe SA, Jul 2019 - 1 week 4 days)
Dianne was absolutely brilliant She cared for our home and our grumpy old cat for 6 weeks while we went to Europe We got texts and emails from her weekly, including a weekly photo of the cat stretched out around the house and looking relaxed and happy The house was immaculate on our return . Dianne had cleaned up the garden for us On return there was fresh milk bread, eggs and fruit in the fridge and a long note explaining in detail everything that happened over the time we were ...
