Sylvie's House Sitting Help

58, (Previous Corporate Marketing Manager)

I enjoy pet sitting because I love helping people out and I enjoy spending time with their gorgeous pets.

My friends describe me as quiet, kind and caring. I enjoy reading, cooking, gardening, swimming and bike riding.

I'm a single, middle-aged lady, and while I'm fit and active - I'm equally content at home, reading and relaxing with a dog or cat close by my side. I'll very happily fit in with your pet's routine, be that long walks, or just spending the day at home with them, so they have company and security in their own environment.

I've owned and enjoyed a wide variety of pets myself (cats, dogs*, birds, fish, rats and guinea pigs). I've done pet sitting for an even wider range of animals, including horses, chooks and sheep.

* including big, active dogs

I had a long and enjoyable career in Corporate Marketing, and have 2 adult children.

I owned and renovated a gorgeous 100 year old Queenslander, and created its lovely garden from scratch. Having owned my own home means you can be confident that I know how to look after and care for your home and garden, too.

I am tidy & responsible and will be respectful of your home and belongings.

My most recent pet was a mini-schnauzer named Benji who was given to me as a puppy by a very generous homeowner (a vet) for whom I did 2 weeks of housesitting. That housesitting opportunity involved minding a beautiful new home on acreage, and looking after 8 breeding dogs, one who gave birth to her first litter during my stay. In addition there were a couple of sheep, half a dozen chooks and a gorgeous variety of birds to look after and enjoy. I loved that first experience and it was the start of my interest in house and pet sitting.

I have a Blue Card (which includes a Police Check) and 100%, 5 star Airbnb guest rating reviews (available on request)

I am retired which means I am available to spend lots of time with your pets

So, that is a little about me. If you think my experience would suit you and your housesitting needs, please feel free to contact me for a chat. I'd love to help if I can.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sylvie animal and house sat our place for 4nights. She was great at comunicating with us before and during the house sit. Sylvie was even happy to skype me beforehand for a meet. This made me feel alot better due to this being the first time having a house sitter. When we got home the animals were happy and perfect. Same as the rest of the house! We would be happy to have her house sit anytime again. Sylvie will be the first persone we contact for our next house sit!

Thanks for your kind words Rachel. Really enjoyed the housesit. Miss the pets (and peaceful environment) already!! Happy to help out again. Take care
Sylvie was amazing. Great communication before and during the sit. She did a great job looking after our home and animals and she left the house exactly as we did. If we had not of met her before we left we would have never known she was her! We would not hesitate is using Sylvie again

No rating We had first spoken to Sylvie following a Christmas ad seeking house sitter. We had filled this sit by then, but felt a lovely connection with her over messages. We had a little weekend away planned and our original plan for jet fell through and Sylvie came to the rescue and looked after jet for a few days at last minute. She was a life saver! She was so friendly and just made us feel very comfortable. The house was well looked after and jet looked happy and well looked after when we ... MORE

Hi Jacqui. I really enjoyed being able to help out, so you and Michael could have time away. Jet is gorgeous, and I loved my time at your place. Best regards, Sylvie
As my first experience with a house/pet sitter, I was a little nervous about leaving my cats in the care of someone else. Sylvie blew away my worries! Her communication was excellent, and her love for animals was obvious as soon as she arrived. She gave me updates with photos of the cats, lots of cuddles, and left the house in such a tidy state. I would highly recommend Sylvie to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter. I will definitely be looking to her first when I need a pet sitter ... MORE

Green garden!

Make sure the garden and pot plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
