Cat butler/cuddler & dog servant, work from home

40, Occupational Therapist

Active, healthy, positive, non smoker and trusted pet adorer with a stable lifestyle. If you are going away and need to feel you can relax with 100% confidence that your home and pets are in good hands then I am the one. I develop real connections with your pets and love them like my own throughout the sit. While I am childless and petless, I have been an aunty since I was 17, owned and fostered pets and lived with pets belonging to house mates. I have a calming nature for anxious pets and will have no problems winning them over.

I highly respect your privacy and belongings and will take care to leave things as I found them. I am known to leave homes very clean (as per reviews), sometimes cleaner than I found them. I am currently working from home and I sometimes teach Yoga online. When filming, I am very conscious of mine and others' privacy. I blur the background and ensure nothing identifying is in view.

During 2018 I did a lot of house sitting through word of mouth while I was temporarily staying with my parents. It wasn't a planned venture, but people continued to ask me to house sit via recommendations and now it has grown into a more permanent undertaking. I have experience managing various unforeseen circumstances such as sick pets and issues with the house. No owner has had to return home and I have maintained communication across different time zones and kept owners informed while enlisting trust that things are taken care of.

I have NEVER cancelled a sit that I have committed to and I have saved a few owners who have had their sit cancelled last minute when I happened to have a gap. I see last minute cancellations quite frequently and assure you, the only reason I would cancel is if there is some sort of crisis/health emergency in mine or my families' lives.

I have a social life and do have a friend or two over sometimes but nothing excessive. It is usual that I would not have anyone over to the house throughout the whole sit, especially in winter.

*Perks:
- You'll come home to a clean home and healthy, happy pets.
- I will not cancel the sit last minute, something I see a bit
- I can manage issues that arise and will keep you informed but not stressed while you are away
- Your pet might feature in at least one Yoga video or photo shoot and star on Instagram.
- You will receive regular photo/video updates of your pet being cute or hilarious if you want them.
- I am a kind natured person that even the scardiest and snootiest of cats will warm to. I will always make sure your pet is properly cared for as my priority and I will follow the routine as directed by you.
- I am a health care worker which means I am subject to many police checks, licenses and clearances. We are generally a conscientious bunch of people.
- I am economical with utilities and generally planet friendly. I am mindful of your bills and will not overuse utilities however, if it is cold, I will need a way to stay warm.
- I am experienced with house stuff, e.g I know how to reset the meter box, light the pilot light, change a light bulb or smoke alarm battery etc. I grew up in an old house in Mitcham and have lived in many share houses with weird and wonderful designs and systems.

*Disclaimer:
- I do early starts and depend on getting a good night's sleep. I prefer not to sleep with cats who like to play and jump on me at 2am ha ha.
- I am physically strong and stern with dogs when required however, I cannot manage a large dog with behavioural issues. I can only take on dog care or walking of dogs that are trained, particularly if they are a large dog.
- I am not a bahaviouralist and do not have the skills and knowledge to manage severe behavioural issues.
- I expect to walk in to a clean home and I will leave it at least as clean as I found it. It doesn't have to be perfect but kitchens, bathrooms and floors should be clean within a day or so of handover.
- It is up to owners to ensure there are enough supplies - food, litter etc for the duration of the sit or have arranged delivery during the sit unless otherwise discussed and agreed.

Eveline was absolutely amazing!! I could not have gone overseas if it wasn't for Eveline. She looked after the house but more importantly she looked after my old 'neurotic' and anxious little dog. Poor Eveline had to run him back and forth to the vets on more than one occasion. I highly recommend Eveline --she is a little gem!!
 
KERRY (BOX HILL SOUTH VIC, Jun 2022 - 2 months 1 week)
Thank you Kerry! I will miss little Henry :)
Eveline was great! I didn't have absolutely any problem. She was easy to communicate and caring. I could see through the photos and videos which she was sharing with me that my cats were happy and they liked her. When I came back, my house was clean and ready for me to move back. Highly recommend Eveline as a house and pet sitter :)
 
PAULINA (Moonee Ponds VIC, Sep 2024 - 1 month 1 week)
Eveline did a great job with our fussy spoiled chickens! The cats were happy when we got home too, so they were obviously well looked after while we were away. The house was lovely and clean. Communication was excellent, a couple of issues during the 3 weeks were sorted easily. Thanks Eveline for looking after our house pets and garden. Natalie and Marcus
 
NATALIE (Greensborough VIC, Jul 2024 - 1 week 6 nights)
Many grateful, heartfelt thanks to Eveline for sticking it out with my less-than-friendly cat Mango in my one bedroom apartment. I had no idea Mango would react the way she did to having Eveline in the house. Eveline coped incredibly well with a hissing and yowling cat and made huge efforts to ensure she and Mango could coexist in the house together, working around the cat and keeping her well looked after. It wasn't an easy house sit so I was very relieved Eveline stuck it out for ... MORE
 
CARLY (Thornbury VIC, Oct 2023 - 4 weeks)
Thanks Carly, I hope Mango continues to sing our duos with you 😄
Eveline was great to communicate with, lovely, and kept us updated about our dog as we travelled. We came home to a clean and lovely space. Thanks Eveline!
 
EVA (Heidelberg Heights VIC, Jan 2023 - 2 weeks 5 days)
Thank-you Eva. Little Cleo is a such a cute little dog.
Eveline did a great job, not easy with our elderly, deaf and needy cat. It was comforting to know she was being well looked after for nearly four weeks while we were overseas. She was alive and well when we got home thanks to Eveline and her care.
 
ROSALBA (Camberwell VIC, Sep 2022 - 3 weeks)
Eveline was an excellent house sitter. We had a couple of hiccups (our fault, not hers!) but Eveline took them in her stride and was very understanding. We loved that she sent us some photos and videos while we were away, and we came home to a clean apartment and 2 very happy cats! Thanks Eveline :)
 
KEELY (Abbotsford VIC, Jun 2022 - 3 days)
Eveline was a fantastic sitter! She took great care of our home and our cat Charlie. Her communication was excellent and Charlie was very happy when we returned home. We would definitely recommend Eveline.
 
MIRIAM (PRESTON VIC, Apr 2022 - 2 weeks 4 days)
Thank you Miriam! It was my pleasure :D
This was the first time Eveline had looked after our home and cats. Eveline and her friend were fantastic house sitters., we came back to 2 happy cats, plants and a spotless home . All communication was very easy and prompt. We also got a few photos/ videos during the week of our babies which we loved. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Eveline to others.
 
LEAH (Mona Vale NSW, Dec 2021 - 1 week)
Thank-you Leah, it was my pleasure :)
Eveline was a great house sitter, she was quick with communications and sent us videos and photos of our fur baby, which we loved! Our cat was quick to show affection to Eveline, which made us happy knowing he was happy. Eveline left our house extremely clean and tidy, even changed the sheets on our bed ready to sleep in on our return, which was great after a late flight. We were so happy we have confirmed a sit with her again! Thanks so much Eveline!
 
RACHEL (Ivanhoe VIC, Feb 2021 - 18 days)
We loved having Eveline sit our house and pets. Comms were excellent throughout the sit, with some very special pictures of Kubo sent through. Our house was left in excellent condition. Eveline even changed the sheets and left our bed ready to sleep in on our return.
 
DOUGLAS (Northcote South VIC, Jan 2021 - 1 week 3 days)
Eveline house sat for us in 2021 for 7 months. I cannot fault her care for our property and her reliability while we were away. We came back to the house cleaner than when we left it! Everything was spotless. She also cared very lovingly for our elderly cat who sadly passed away from old age while we were away. You would have thought she was Eveline's own cat the way she communicated to us every day (sometimes twice a day) about how she was travelling. When we decided to have her euthanised ... MORE
 
DIANNE (Ivanhoe VIC, Nov 2020 - 7 months)
Thanks Di, I still miss Olive. I had an unusually strong bond with her. Thank you for being so flexible, accommodating and generous.
Eveline has house sat for me a number of times. She always take good care of my cats and my house. She is very reliable and I highly recommend her.
 
BEVERLEY (Bentleigh East VIC, Mar 2020 - 2-3 weeks)
Eve was fantastic from start to finish. Great communication before and during the housesit and kept me up to date on all things happening from weather, house and most of all looking after one very OCD Border Collie antics and one very nervous dog owner (me). I felt very comfortable leaving Eve in charge and felt completely at ease with her looking after Dot. I would highly recommend and would like to thank Eve on looking after Dot and our home. Eve left our home beautifully ... MORE
 
ROBYN (Terranora NSW, Jan 2020 - 3 weeks)
Eveline was a great house sitter for us. She kept the garden and house plants alive during a very hot few weeks, she sent us lots of videos and photos of our cat, which the kids loved! The house was super clean when we got home. She was very swift to communicate whenever necessary. Thanks so much Eveline!
 
REBECCA (Coburg North VIC, Dec 2019 - 3 weeks)
Eveline was super reliable and a great communicator. She left the house very tidy and clean. I would definitely recommend her,
 
RACHEL (North Melbourne VIC, Oct 2019 - 1 week 5 days)
Eveline was a perfect choice for my two fur babies. Ruby, a nervous dachshund, was quick to be in her lap and looked very happy in all the photos Eveline sent. Brodie, my Birman cat, was equally happy in her company, and were appreciative that she was home more often than out. Eveline left our house extremely clean and tidy. We definitely recommend Eveline to look after your house and pets (dogs and cats). She's lovely.
 
KIM (Blackburn South VIC, Aug 2019 - 1 week 6 days)
Evelyn was wonderful. The house was beautifully looked after, the cats were very happy , and she helped out with some mail issues willingly. We would love to have her another time
 
PAM (Balwyn VIC, Apr 2019 - 1 month 3 weeks)
Everything was perfect arriving home. House clean and tidy - Eveline left a very light footprint. Cats were happy and calm. We really appreciated Eveline's house sitting and her occasional contact while we were away and would be happy for a repeat performance...
 
ROBERT (Footscray VIC, Mar 2019 - 4 weeks)
Thank-you Robert, it was my pleasure.
Thank you again Eveline for caring for Kaspar and looking after our home. You left the house so clean that i thought no one lived here while we were away. Hope you would like to sit again. Best wishes.
 
FRAUKE (Eltham VIC, Feb 2019 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Thank you Frauke! Kasper is such a sweetie and I loved the fresh vegies from the garden :)
I would recommend Eveline to everyone and really hope that when we go away again she will be available. We had a wonderful experience, we hated leaving our furry family member but he was so well taken care off, as was our home and Eveline was always available if we needed to communicate with her. Highly recommend
 
CLARE (donvale VIC, Dec 2018 - 1 month 1 week)
I left the house in not the best state considering last minute packing, however on return Eveline had helped and it was nice to come home to a tidy house. We have two cats and were constantly updated as to how they were going and receiving photos and videos of what they were up to (as unfortunately you cannot take your pets on every holiday!). Eveline treated our home as if it were her own. There was a slight issue with a black out and Eveline handled it perfectly and took on the ... MORE
 
TEIGAN (Macleod VIC, Nov 2018 - 2 weeks 2 days)
No rating Eveline looked after our 2 dogs,, 2 guinea pigs and our home for 4weeks while we were overseas! Her communication with us was excellent, sending us photos of our dogs on and generally keeping us up to date. Our dogs are rescue dogs so were a little challenging but Eve managed to settle them and follow the routine which kept them happy. Having a couple of videos of the dogs wagging their tales made us relax too. If one of our dogs had an issue, Eve simply contacted us for advice and acted ... MORE
