Greetings.
My name is Christine.
Although I have a house at the Sunshine Coast, I have children and grandchildren in other states.
I lived in Cairns for 30 years and ran a successful Calligraphy business.
After selling my house , I travelled overseas for quite a while before eventually settling at the Sunshine Coast.
Having 3 children I have had many pets over the years, including mice, rats, guinea pigs, cats and dogs.
In Cairns I had a Cavalier King Charles and a Shitzu.
As I live in a pet free village now, I do miss animals and enjoy having their company..
Being older, big rambunctious dogs are too much for me, so small dogs or cats are my preference.
I love to exercise, so walking is not an issue.
I am a very water and power conscious person.
I pride myself in my care of peoples' pets and homes and my excellent references will attest to that.
I also have a police check.
Thank you
Christine

Christine was amazing! She looked after our little scaredy cat Sadie for a week while we took some time off. She was so gentle and caring, which Sadie picked up on straight away, and was relaxed.. We were very comfortable leaving our rather timid cat in her capable hands. She is a lovely person, and would have no hesitation in recommending Christine to anyone who wants their pets loved and very well looked after while they're away.
 
HEATHER (Twin Waters QLD, May 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
Christine made us feel 100% comfortable to leave our home and 2 Birman kitties in her care, while we went on vacation. She brushed, loved and played with them as if they were her own. We returned to a spotless house and calm, happy fur-babies. I almost think they resented us a little for returning so soon :-D. Thank you Christine.
 
NEVAR (Maroochydore QLD, Apr 2024 - 1 week 2 nights)
Christine was fantastic, she stayed overnight with us before we left and was very pleasant and easy. She connected immediately with our Shadow and we were very happy with having her look after our precious.
 
TONY (Speers Point NSW, Oct 2023 - 2 nights)
Christine was prompt in answering my ad and quickly followed up with an in person visit (she lives in the same suburb) I was impressed by the reaction of my two Tonkinese boys who have recently been rehomed by me (8 weeks ago). They were responsive to Christine immediately, and it was evident that she had a way with cats. I have been a house sitter myself for 10 years and was confident that all would be well during my short absence. I recommend Christine.
 
DOROTHY (Maroochydore QLD, Mar 2023 - 4 days)
So pleased to have found Christine! From my first conversation with Christine, I knew my elderly cat (who needs a lot of love) and my home would be in very safe and dependable hands. Thank you so much Christine for your kind and caring nature - hoping you will be able to look after Monty again when I have to travel again in the new year.
 
DIANE (Bulimba QLD, Nov 2022 - 3 Weeks)
Christine is an absolute gem. She looked after our cat, Bailey, who is a rather solitary little soul, for a week in October,. Christine is a very friendly and experienced house sitter and sent us photos of Bailey every day. We arrived home to an extremely clean house and a happy kitty. We were most impressed by Christine's care for our home and Bailey and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. Thanks so much Christine!
 
BEE (Twin Waters QLD, Oct 2022 - 1 week 1 day)
Thankyou Christine. We definitely recommend Christine to look after your home and care for your beautiful pets. Christine communicated & responded quickly. Tasks & requests were followed & communicated very clearly. We would certainly ask Christine for future sits. Stella also said she'd have you again
 
ANNE (Cotton Tree QLD, Sep 2022 - 2 weeks)
Christine took care of my two dogs and home over the weekend. She has a wonderful and energetic personality. Very friendly and helpful. My dogs were very happy upon our return and the house looked fantastic. I hope she will return to Cairns next year and take care of the dogs again. I very highly recommend Christine. Thank you
 
KRISZTINA (Kewarra Beach QLD, Aug 2022 - 2 days)
Christine was lovely to deal with, took great care of our dog and left the house looking immaculate.
 
PAULA (Cotton Tree QLD, Sep 2021 - 3 days)
Christine is a fabulous find - we were so lucky to have her house sit and when we moved our trip forward, she was able to accommodate us! Our pets were so happy, the house was spotless and Christine kept us updated with photos and texts! Highly recommend using her - we most certainly will again and hope she is not booked out too much!!! Thank you once again Christine, you are a super star ⭐️
 
JANINA WEYER (NOOSA HEADS) (Noosa Heads QLD, Mar 2021 - 1 week)
Christine did w wonderful job looking after both our house and dog whilst away. House was spotless when we returned. Thanks Christine!
 
DOMINIC (Carina QLD, Dec 2020 - 1 week 1 day)
Christine went above and beyond in looking after our house and our pet. She communicated well, arrived on time, listened and responded to information about the house and our dog and left the house perfectly clean and tidy, sheets and towels washed and on the line. We are more than happy to recommend her.
 
KATHRYN (Callala Bay NSW, Nov 2020 - 8 days)
Christine was so great with our pets and left the house clean and tidy. She sent us photos of what the pets were up to and was very kind. She is reliable, honest and trustworthy.
 
LISA (Bulli NSW, Oct 2020 - 3 weeks)
Christine was wonderful from the beginning. So full of life and you could see the minute she met our cat and kitten she was an animal lover. She sent photos throughout her stay reassuring us that our cat was in the best hands. Coming home to a spotless and clean home with all bedding washed was an absolute blessing after 5 days camping! I highly recommend Christine and would love her to return any time
 
NIKI (Balmoral QLD, Sep 2020 - 5 days)
Christine did an excellent job of caring for our German shepherd and kitten. Our house was beautifully clean on our return, pool was cleaned of all leaves and Christine had even sewn up our pool scoop netting! Our daughter really enjoyed the photos Christine sent of our kitten while we were away. We highly recommend Christine as a house sitter.

Green garden!

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