The soft hearted sitter

41, Disability Support worker

Hello fellow animal lovers,

I'm a caring person with a soft heart for animals. I grew up with cats, dogs, birds and bunnies. I love animal cuddles and taking dogs for walks. Ill keep your plants, alive, put bins out/in and bring in the mail. I'm experienced with giving medications; ointments, ear drops, insulin injections, tablets etc to cats and dogs. I'm a non smoker, tidy, clean and will look after your home as my own.

I enjoy swimming at the local pool, or at the beach in summer. I've been getting into pottery and am getting pretty good. I like the outdoors, beach life, camping and road trips.

Over the years I've done pet sitting in small apartments to huge 40 acre farms mainly in Melbourne, but also country Victoria, Up and down the NSW & QLD coasts and even San Francisco. I've looked after cows, goats, sheep, baby lambs, cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs, big pigs, chickens, turkeys, parrots and fish. No creature to big or small. Except snakes... I draw the line at snakes ha ha.

I used to do sitting full time but post covid I've got my own place and I am now a disability support worker. This means I now only take on house/pet sitting when i get time off andI prefer short stays no longer than a week so I'm not away from my clients for too long. I still do lots of pet sitting for friends and family just now they bring them to stay at my home in Aspendale Vic.

I have my police check and ID verified by the site. I hope you like my profile and would like to meet me or have a chat to see if we are the right fit.

Warmest Regards

Julia :o)

Our pets are elderly and spoilt - they have significant health issues requiring complicated medication and time commitment and they have all the foibles that come with being overly pampered. Julia was extremely conscientious in her preparation for looking after our animals, taking it on herself to independently research their health issues and medication. When she came to stay, Julia was very well informed, giving us a great deal of confidence in her. Julia communicated well with ourselves and ... MORE

We've just had Julia housesit for us and I can highly recommend her. Our menagerie was well looked after, our house lovely and tidy and well kept for us to come home to. Julia had good communication and updates, so we were worry free while away. Thank you so much 😀
 
JENNE (Tyabb VIC, Dec 2023 - 4 nights)
Julie and Brendon sat for us for 5 weeks whilst we visited family overseas. I could not recommend them highly enough. Both our pets (Daisy our Beagle and Dash our budgie) were so well looked after. We returned to a sparkling house and a manicured garden! Their communication was great throughout with updates on our pets whilst we were away. Would love to have them back again next time we need a sitter. Thank you so much guys.
 
DAVID (Mount Eliza VIC, Jun 2022 - 5 weeks)
Julia is amazing! A cat whisperer. She even had my most fearful skittish cat come and join her on her lap for pats. Left the house in beautiful condition and is very thoughtful! Highly recommend.
 
KATHI (St Kilda VIC, May 2021 - 5 days)
Julie looked after Lexi and the house perfectly. House was tidy when I got home. Julie responded promptly and made the effort to come over a few days prior meet and get familiar with Lexi and the house. Highly recommend.

JACQUI (Nambour QLD, Jan 2021 - 5 days)
Julia was a perfect house sitter. Great communication both before and during the sit. She came and met us before the sit also. Was so lovely to know that we could relax and enjoy our holiday knowing the animals were well cared for. And coming home to a very clean and tidy home is just the best!! Would definitely have Julia back.

DEBBIE (Benowa QLD, Sep 2020 - 3 days)
Julia was absolutely fantastic! I needed someone at the last minute and have 4 relatively high maintenance pets and she handled them all like a pro :-) I came home to a happy dog and 3 happy cats, and the house was perfect. I'd absolutely recommend her to anyone :-)
 
KATE (Moorooka QLD, Sep 2020 - 5 days)
Hours before Julia was to begin housesitting, our little dog Soxy was seriously injured in an unprovoked dog attack. Soxy had to stay at the vet overnight and needed regular medication and extra care. Julia was very flexible with our needs and happily administered medication and hand feeding to our dog. She gave our Soxy extra special care and provided us with regular updates and photos. We are truly grateful to Julia for helping us through this and would highly recommend her for any ... MORE

Julia was an absolute delight to have as our house/pet sitter. She took wonderful care of our home and treated our fur babies like her own. We communicated regularly so we were reassured that everything was going well. Julia was bubbly, bright and caring, and it was reassuring to find someone like her to look after our lovelies. We would absolutely recommend this wonderful lady and hope to entice her back again some time in the future!!
 
JILL (Frenchville QLD, Jul 2020 - 5 days)
Julia was absolutely amazing at looking after our house and dogs. Bella and Marty can be very needy but we have returned to them very happy and a very very very clean house. Honestly it looks like a cleaner had been through here. Julia was great at keeping us updated and communicated with us always. I would recommend her for any house sit and would love to have her back here to look after our home again.
 
JENNA (DAISY HILL QLD, Dec 2019 - 1 week)
Julia was amazing! She took such great care of our 2 cats and kept the house spotless. We kept in contact while we were away and everything went very smoothly. Would definitely use her again for our next holiday!
 
NICOLE (Aspendale VIC, Nov 2019 - 2 weeks 4 days)
Julia was perfect. She looked after our dog Chewie so we'll, he's a little sad that she's gone! She took him on long walks and kept us up to date by sending messages, videos and pics of chewie. The house was kept beautifully and was so nice to come home to after a long flight. Julia is amazing she made our holiday even better by knowing she was with Chewie and looking after our home. I hope she will sit for us again. Thanks so much Julia we cannot thank you enough!!!
 
BRYAN (Parkdale VIC, Sep 2019 - 2 weeks 6 days)
Julia was a highly responsible house-sitter. We felt lucky to find someone who didn't mind being home and taking our dog for regular walks. We really appreciated the little touches keeping our home clean and even buying a few staples like bread and milk so we could relax and get over our jet lag. Thanks so much!
 
SOPHIE (Frankston VIC, Jul 2019 - 4 weeks)
Julia was a fantastic housesitter. Good communicator, very friendly and easy to chat to, took great care of all my pet farm animals including pigs, sheep, goats, turkeys, chickens, dogs, cats, guinea pigs and cows. I went on holidays and could relax knowing they were in good hands. Returned home to happy animals and a tidy house. Highly recommend
 
LARA (Yellingbo VIC, Dec 2018 - 1 week 1 day)
No rating Julia did a great job taking care of my beloved Chloe. I returned after 10 days - the house was in great shape and Chloe was well taken care of. Thank-you Julia
MAURITA ( California, Nov 2018 - 1 week 2 days) From House Sitters America
I went away for 2 weeks, leaving my 2 cats and 4 chickens in Julia's care. I had never had anyone house sit or look after my pets before so i was a bit nervous. There was no need. Julia was reliable, honest and I came home to a clean home and healthy and happy animals. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.
