Separation Anxiety Specialists

53, Webmaster

18, Oaks Hotel North Ryde

**totally booked up until mid-Sept**

Adrienne and Poppy (18) are a Kiwi mum and daughter fulltime petsitting our way around Australia and the world. Over 240 successful petsits (since 2013) completed with awesome references and police check supplied. We are often asked to return and petsit again as homeowners value our professionalism, kindness and love for their pets and our ability to keep them up-to-date whilst they are away.

We will NEVER leave your pet alone if they are anxious or nervous. We have had great success with separation disorder and anxious pets with owners saying their animals are relaxed and happy when they arrive home.

We believe your pet will be happier and more content in their own environment with their familiar routine. We are content with large or modest dwellings; indoor and outdoor pets, we are friendly and non-judgmental.

Dispensing medications or any other out-of-the-ordinary requirements are not a problem - we will follow your instructions to the letter.

Working from home as a Webmaster means I appreciate fast wifi and to share your unlimited plan - and will keep you updated regularly via txt, facebook messenger or email. Poppy is now working as a Guest Service Agent at the North Ryde Oaks Hotel and needs to start work at 7am. If you are not generously leaving a vehicle for local use (by Adrienne - licence will be available to add to your insurance) then being close to bus/rail is helpful.

We are especially interested in homes with a short walk to the metro stations of Chatswood, North Ryde, Macquarie Park, Macquarie Uni, Epping, Cherrybrook, Castle Hill, Hills Showground, Norwest, Bella Vista, Kellyville, Rouse Hill, Tallawong.

We will adapt to your life-flow to keep things routine for your pets.

Snippet from reference: "We highly recommend having someone and coming to house sit for you. We had Adrienne & Poppy house sit for us and look after our cat and I can't speak highly enough. They took care of him better then I think I do. It was nice for him to be in his own environment and pretty sure he didn't even notice we left!"

Snippet from reference: "I would highly recommend Adrienne & Poppy as being resourceful, friendly, and honest, with a love of animals and a passion for learning that leads to appreciating every opportunity that comes their way."

Snippet from reference: "You have done such a fantastic job. I can't express how grateful we are to have had you looking after our dog. What a find you two were."

Snippet from reference: "Thank you for caring so much! I really appreciate how you cared for the house and our boys, it made it easier for us to relax on our trip knowing you were here! They definitely didn't lack anything and that makes my heart very happy."

Adrienne and Poppy are amazing. They cared perfectly for our house and our very loved labrador Mumble. They sent lots of updates and Mumble was very relaxed and happy when we got home. Adrienne used our second car during our stay to take Mumble out and about and nothing was ever a problem for her. I HIGHLY recommend them and I very much hope we are lucky enough to have them again when we are away.
 
JENNIFER (Gordon NSW, Apr 2024 - 1 week)
Adrienne looked after my boy Finn whilst I was away for work. Communication was very good and I had no worries about him or my place whilst I was away
 
TANISHA (Woolloomooloo NSW, Mar 2024 - 1 week 5 nights)
Adrienne tackled a challenging situation with ease, caring for our timid husky and corgi while we were away. We left with peace of mind, knowing she could handle it. Throughout our time apart, she kept us updated with regular communication, letting us know how things were going. Returning home, we found a clean and tidy house, and our two dogs were clearly content and well taken care of. We're grateful for Adrienne's excellent care and professionalism.
 
KATHERINE (Kurraba Point NSW, Mar 2024 - 4 nights)
Adrienne and her daughter Poppy were the most amazing house/pet sitters, we were able to enjoy our overseas holiday with the peace of mind that our two fur babies and house were well taken care of. We received regular communication and photos of our dogs, and the ladies were super flexible with trades needing to access our house to complete Reno’s. The house was left clean and tidy and the dogs loved the company whilst we were gone. Highly recommend Adrienne and Poppy and will 100% book these ... MORE
 
ELIZABETH (Dundas Valley NSW, Jan 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
I cannot praise Adrienne and Poppy enough for the wonderful care they gave our two cats. I was sent photos and texts regularly, they even bought a basket for one of the cats to keep him out of the laundry and happy :) The house was immaculate upon our return and we arrived to two very happy and contented kitties. I would have to say the best house sitters we have had to date and highly recommend them and hope to have Adrienne back anytime she is available for our future getaway plans. Thank ... MORE
 
JEN (Hornsby NSW, Aug 2023 - 5 weeks)
Adrienne and Poppy were fantastic house sitters. They cared for our dog Charlie as if he was their own and provided us with daily photos and updates. We arrived home to a sparkling clean house. Highly recommended.
 
KATE (Forestville NSW, Jun 2023 - 2 weeks 6 days)
Adrienne and her daughter Poppy did a wonderful job looking after our house. They are warm and friendly people who were very independent. They brought in all their own food and were great minimalists who lived out of their suitcases. They bonded well with my lovely cat Freya who enjoyed cuddling up to Adrienne in bed at night. When I arrived home Freya was happy and contented. A good sign that she had been well cared for. They left the house clean and tidy. Their communication was excellent ... MORE
 
CAROL (Gladesville NSW, May 2023 - 4 weeks)
We have had Adrienne & Poppy housesit for us multiple times now- months at a time. They are so easy to get on with and very communicative. We feel very comfortable leaving our home & cats in their loving care. We get regular photos to show how happy the cats are. Adrienne has use of our car and happily drops and picks us up from the airport. The plants are watered and house is left as it is found. We highly recommend them and will continue to use them for future house sitting.
 
RUTH AND IAIN (Hornsby Heights NSW, Jul 2022 - 1 month 1 week)
Amazing! We have a very shy cat who is terrified of strangers. Adrienne and Poppy have a beautiful calm about them and befriended the Fuzz before he knew what was happening! Highly recommend. Good communicators. Excellent house and pet sitters. Would have back in a heart beat.
 
JO (Hornsby NSW, Jun 2022 - 1 week 1 day)
Very happy with house-sitters. They were very friendly and knew how to look after cats! Looked after the "boys" very well and the house was clean and tidy upon return.
 
KAREN (Berriedale TAS, Feb 2021 - 3 days)
Adrienne and Poppy were great for our dogs and house. We were kept updated every day with what was happening and how the four legged children were. They left the house immaculate. We also got them to come at very last minute and could completely trust them. Thanks again!
 
EMILY (Hira South Island, Jun 2020 - 1 week 1 day) From Kiwi House Sitters
Adrienne and her 14 year old daughter are the most warm calm and delightful couple. WE have had them to dog/house sit our busy Dalmatian cross three times now and always try to dovetail our breaks away to visit family with their availability. Sadie has always had a shower and is spotless white, they take her several daily walks including her favourite exciting long walk at Rabbit Island dog park ever 2-3 days. She is so all when we get bck. None of the usual anxiety and clinging. Adrienne ... MORE
 
CHRISTINE (Richmond Rural South Island, Jun 2020 - 5 nights) From Kiwi House Sitters
No rating Absolutely fantastic sitter. So very helpful in all ways both during and after sit. I would definitely recommend Adrianne and Poppy as very competitent and had both Harley and Storm eating out of their hands
LYNN (Pacific Pines QLD, Aug 2019 - 2 months)
It was an absolute pleasure to have Adrienne and Poppy come to house sit for us. Such wonderful, interesting people with lots of experience house sitting. We were please to meet Adrienne and Poppy the day before the sit and they stayed with us so we could show them what animal care would be required. They went above and beyond with caring for our dogs- pics daily to reassure us all was well and walks twice daily for our large dogs :) Chooks and fish well cared for and came home to a nice ...

EMILY AND DANNY (Mudgeeraba QLD, May 2019 - 5 days)
Highly recommend Adrienne and Poppy for house sitting especially with high care need dogs! Adrienne helped prepare our Airbnb for handover and looked after our 3 dogs for 10 days without missing a beat plus handled a few challenging situations for us. Couldn't be happier.
 
MICHELLE (COOMERA QLD, Apr 2019 - 1 week 3 days)
Adreinne and Poppy where great. Understanding and compassionate due to my situation. Patient and very supportive. When you plan a holiday and flood hits the day your supposed to leave they are the team to have! My fur baby's did not miss me. I was happy with that. Interesting people living an alternative lifestyle happy to be of service to my needs while away. Grateful me!
