Our home

Hi, I have 2 cats, One 11yr old whom needs a little company during the days/nights I am away. She only needs a little time in the morning and evening. She is a younger cat whom loves her outdoors. She likes to play and loves her cuddles. The larger male is 8 and is locked inside at night and if I'm not home for the day.
I live in Margate, QLD near the beach (700m vs 1.5km either side). The sitter must be a non-smoker and as my spare room is small only one person would be more ideal. The home ... Read more

I live in Margate, QLD near the beach (700m vs 1.5km either side). The sitter must be a non-smoker and as my spare room is small only one person would be more ideal. The home is a postwar house with a lovely covered deck.There is a fan in the 2nd bedroom however aircon in the living area as needed. Shops are within a km and the bus stops at either end of the street. Would be perfect for a mini break. Please let me know if you would like more information or if this is of interest to you?

We had a lovely stay at Carolyne’s home, it was comfortable with everything we needed and enjoyed the verandah. It was also in a great location and we could walk to the beach and shops! Communication was also great and we had an info sheet which was helpful. We enjoyed Suva and Tommy’s company, Suva was very independent and comes and goes as she pleases. Tommy was scared of us at first, but once he warmed up he was very affectionate.
Carolyn was a good communicator Tommy was quite affectionate, I didn't see much of Suva she has a second home next door & I think she preferred to be there than with a stranger. The home was very comfortable & in a lovely area.
It was a beautiful experience to be able to take care of Suva. The house is cozy and very comfortable. Carolyne was very kind and generous with me. I really appreciate the trust. Thank you so much.
I had a lovely stay at Carolyne's caring for her 2 puss cats, Annie (aged 20) and Suva. Carolyne was very clear in her communication and she told me everything I needed to know. Having the folder also, was very handy for quick reference. The home itself is very well located, with a short walk to the waterfront and amenities. I'd be most happy to house and cat sit for Carolyne again.
Thank you for a relaxing and enjoyable location. Suva and Annie were great and easy to look after, each with their own personalities. Walking distance to the shops and waterfront and a peaceful veranda to sit and read. Would happily house sit here again.
I had a great weekend with Annie and Suva, Carolynes 2 cats. Annie is amazing at 20 yrs ols and Suva is a chilled girl. Carolyne was good at answering and questions. Highly recommend for location, short walk to the beach and coffee shop at the opposite end of the road to the beach and close to shops in Margate. Buses also stop at the beach end of the road. Back in a flash if I can.
Carolyne was very clear with her communications and as a single lady I felt well protected in her home and both cats were very well behaved ! Thank you , I would love to sit for them again !
A lovely experience from start to finish at this peaceful home in Margate. Carolyn had clear communication and showed/told me everything I needed to know, including tips like walking down to the water for the sunset (gorgeous). Her kitties were lovely and easy to look after and I felt safe and welcome in her very comfortable home. Excellent sit! Highly recommend!!
