Caring for your pets and house

I have relocated back to South Australia from Tasmania, and am available for house and pet sits in suburban Adelaide. I am a clean, tidy, reliable, non-smoking and non-drinking mature-aged female.

I am an experience house and pet sitter, having carried out sits both in Tasmania and Adelaide. I have experience looking after cats and dogs, both very young animals and also elderly ones requiring vet visits and regular medication. I have also looked after a dog with cancer and others with anxiety.

I was required to have a police check and Working with Children registration while working for the Education Department in Tasmania and have recently renewed them. My previous sits have been through this and another site, and also through private referrals. A number of my sits are regular repeats.

I am respectful of your home and pets and provide daily texts, photos and updates of your pets so you can monitor their welfare and be assured they are in good hands. Also happy to face-time so you can chat with them if you would like to. I like to treat your pets as you do, and would allow them onto the bed at night, for example, if that is what they are used to.

I will be working from home most days, but have to be in the office a minimum of one day a week, so they will need to be happy to be home alone on that day.

As well as looking after your pets and home I am happy to water plants and look after fish. You can be confident of finding a clean and tidy house and happy animals on your return.

I was confident Leah was the perfect fit to look after my ageing cat but unfortunately he died before my trip. Nevertheless, Leah remained committed to the job and after 6 weeks away I returned to house and garden exactly how I had left it. I thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking for a house sitter. Your property will be in safe hands and Leah provides complete peace of mind so your holiday can be enjoyed to its fullest.

Great sitter will ask Leah to sit for us again next year. Recommend her highly.

Cannot praise Leah highly enough! What an Angel. Absolutely loves animals and totally spoilt our two. Our first time using a house sitter so you can appreciate we were very nervous but was quickly put at ease with all the daily videos, pictures and updates. Very disappointed that she is already booked for our next 2 planned trips but will definately try to get her back in the future.
 
JUDITH (Newton SA, May 2024 - 1 month 3 weeks)
This was our first time leaving our adored rescue cat for an extended period of time so were very nervous to do so. From our first interaction with Leah we knew our cat would be looked after as if it were her own. We were not wrong! We couldn’t have felt more at ease while we were away with our daily updates and photos knowing our girl was getting so much love and attention. We could not recommend Leah highly enough.
 
EBONEE (Craigburn Farm SA, Apr 2024 - 4 weeks)
There aren't possibly enough words to express how incredible Leah truly is. Her communication and professionalism from the beginning to the end were outstanding. Leah provided updates throughout the sit to keep me (anxious dog mum) in the loop, and the photos made me giggle each day! Our home was spotless to return to which was a lovely surprise. Our beautiful Sharpei is now super affectionate so I have no doubt the love and attention she received whilst we were away. I would highly recommend ... MORE
 
SARAH (Murray Bridge SA, Apr 2024 - 6 nights)
Leah did a fantastic job of looking after my house and animals ( cats and fish ). There was very good communication between Leah and myself when ever it was needed. The house was left clean and everything that was spoken about in meetings before the house sit was done. I’m sure my cats were spoilt rotten with attention and affection and they will probably miss Leah now that she has gone. I would highly recommend Leah for anyone that needs a caring house/pet sitter
 
JAMES (Evanston Gardens SA, Mar 2024 - 3 weeks)
This is my second time in a short period of time that Leah has house sat for me and I highly recommend her. She will continue to be my no.1 choice if I need my house and pets cared for again.
 
JOANNE (Morphett Vale SA, Jan 2024 - 2 weeks 3 nights - 1 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Leah took wonderful care of our home and precious cat while we were away. Leah took the time to meet with me at the house prior to the sit. This enabled us to ask questions and go through the care of the home, plants and pet care. While we were away, Leah kept us up to date with photos and messages, which was reassuring as our cat is getting older. Leah was organised, great with communication, and left our home sparkling clean with nothing to do but pet the cat and relax after a long day of ... MORE
 
AMANDA (Largs Bay SA, Jan 2024 - 2 weeks 2 nights)
Leah was absolutely fantastic to deal with - from the lead up enquiries through to the actual sit. The meticulous detail and communication, especially during the care of my older cat (Millie) was outstanding, and I never felt concerned at all during the time I was away. Millie clearly adored Leah and they developed a routine. Leah took wonderful care of my property, and I would have no hesitation in recommending her for any future sits, or a return sit at my home. I was very appreciative of ... MORE
 
DAVID (Gawler East SA, Dec 2023 - 1 week 2 nights)
Leah was wonderful with my house and pets. She communicated well, was organised, sent me updates and left the house super clean. Would absolutely have her back again and can recommend her to others.
 
MICHELLE (Gawler East SA, Dec 2023 - 5 nights)
Leah was amazing and looked after my animals beautifully and my home. She is a very caring person and kept me updated daily on my animals. She even managed all my plants superbly despite saying she didn't have a green thumb. I will definitely call upon Leah again. The animals loved her and my time away was completely stress free knowing they were in safe hands. Thankyou so much Leah.
 
JOANNE (Morphett Vale SA, Nov 2023 - 4 weeks - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Leah was just superb! Took time and care to get to know Brock before we left and then keep in constant communication with us while we away! (In fact, we got used to, and looked forward to regular updates on what they were up to - which for Brock involved a lot of sitting and looking longingly at Leah for treats, or walking around the block and sniffing! :)) Leah was super easy to communicate with, and we felt like our dog and home were in very good hands. I would have no hesitation to ... MORE
 
JANELLE (Kingston Park SA, Jul 2023 - 10 days)
Leah Johnson house and dog say for us from mid July to late September 2023. During this time she communicated with us numerous time a week keep us updated on the dogs and things in general. Towards the end of the stay there was a hot water issue that she handled for us completely which was a blessing. On our return the house was in immaculate condition, and the dogs had been well and lovingly looked after. I can't recommend her highly enough and am hoping that she will house sit for us on ...

DANIEL (Sefton Park SA, Jul 2023 - 2 months 2 weeks - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Leah understood our oriental cat and loved her as if she was her own cat. She was keen to know about our pet and her routines. From the first meeting, Leah communicated, in her calm, confident and caring voice, with our pet. Our cat was able to get used to hearing Leah’s voice, and it was up to our pet to choose when to connect with Leah. All routines were followed and gradually our cat accepted her. Leah liked to be in contact with us and share photos of our pet so we know Leah was in our ... MORE
 
BRIAR (Thorngate SA, May 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
When I found Leah’s profile, I just knew she was the right fit for us. She got back to me very quickly and did so every time I got in touch with her before & during our trip. She looked after our cat as if she was her own & sent me daily updates and pictures, which helped us enjoy our holiday without worry. Her experience with animals is clearly evident & she is a true animal lover. Our house was immaculate when we returned & our cat didn’t even seem like she missed us! Feeling so ... MORE
 
BRITTANY (St Clair SA, May 2023 - 1 week 2 days)
Leah looked after our home beautifully. She communicated with us very well and dealt with an unexpected important issue relating to our vehicle very responsibly. We would definitely recommend her and be happy .for her to look after our home and cats again. The house was spotless on our return.
 
BERRY (Mawson Lakes SA, Feb 2023 - 2 months 3 weeks)
Leah looked after my house and 5 pets recently, when I needed to attend a funeral interstate. It was a difficult time for me and Leah responded promptly and with sensitivity during all our communications. Leah has a genuine love of animals that shines through in her ability to quickly bond with them and her willingness to attend to all aspects of their care. Leah provided regular updates, putting my mind at ease. I came home to an immaculate house and happy pets. I would not hesitate in highly ... MORE
 
ELIZABETH (Golden Grove SA, Jan 2023 - 6 days)
Leah was oustanding. Happy cat, happy house, happy me. Thank you for looking after all the things we care about while we were away Leah. See you next Christmas !
