Clean and reliable cat and dog lover

60, ESL Teacher

I'm a mature, reliable, tidy and experienced house sitter. I love taking care of cats and dogs. Animals are my passion, but as I work overseas a lot I don’t have any, unfortunately. House sitting is a way of connecting with them, even if it’s only for a short period of time. I’ve also taken care of chickens and fish and can be quite handy in the garden.

I enjoy yoga, meditation, movies, reading, walking, with or without a dog and a good glass of wine.

I don't drive, so house sits in the country don't work for me, unless near public transport.

Thanks for reading.

Debbie was delightful. She looked after Luci (cat) and the house plants. The apartment was sparkling clean (cleaner that how I left it!). There were no issues, and she even left fresh milk in the fridge, which was lovely, as I few home late. Would definitely recommend Debbie again.

Debbie was a great sitter that I would use again and also recommend! No issues and we returned home very thankful of the care taken of our cat, garden and home.
 
PAUL (BRUNSWICK VIC, Jan 2024 - 2 weeks)
Debbie recently petsat our little dog, Candy, whilst we were away for a couple of weeks. This is the second time Debbie has looked after Candy, who at times was challenging (she is getting older) & had also developed an allergic skin reaction whilst we were away. Debbie managed this with the medication to hand. She looked after everything perfectly & we returned to a very tidy home & a content dog. I would happily recommend Debbie for any future petsits which she may consider.
 
CAROLE (Brighton VIC, Nov 2023 - 1 week 4 nights - 1 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
It was an absolute pleasure having Debbie look after my cat and home. Debbie's communication was fantastic and treated my house as her own. I'm quite certain my cat loved having Debbie here as well.
 
GAVIN (West Footscray VIC, Jan 2023 - 8 night)
Debbie was great! She contacted me when I required a new sitter at short notice, and from our first communication to end of sit she was kind, professional and reliable. We arrived home to find Holly calm and happy and our home cared for perfectly. Debbie has a clear affinity with and love of animals. I highly recommend her.
 
KATE (East Malvern VIC, Jan 2023 - 4 days)
Debbie was wonderful. She left the house in immaculate condition and our cat was thoughtfully cared for. She provided excellent communication. Debbie is highly recommended and I would welcome her to house and pet sit again.
 
DONNA (Coburg VIC, Dec 2022 - 3 weeks)
Debbie was a fantastic person to house sit our house and pets.The house was well looked after, the dog,cat and bird were all happy and were all obviously well cared for. Debbie was very experienced and thoughtful when it comes to housesitting and knew exactly what to do. Thankyou very much and would be very keen to have you back down the track
 
LINDY (Port Melbourne VIC, Mar 2022 - 1 week 5 days)
Debbie was a wonderful house sitter! Took such great care of our cat Arnie. Was also more than happy to water the garden & very flexible with timing over the stay. She stayed in touch to let us know all was going well so we knew Arnie was in good hands. Our house was in spotless condition when we came home. Couldn't recommend highly enough.
 
ROSE (Pascoe Vale South VIC, Jan 2022 - 3 days)
Debbie was an amazing house guest. Her level of care was exceptional. She also kept us up to date with how the cats were during her stay. Even better was arriving home to a beautifully kept home with watered plants and a clean house. I would most definitely recommend Debbie to anyone, with or without pets. Thanks again Debbie. Amie and Rhys.
 
RHYS (Altona North VIC, Jan 2022 - 10 days)
Debbie was a fabulous house/cat sitter. She kept our house clean and secure and took fabulous care of our two cats. Having not used a pet/house sitter before I was a little apprehensive about the process but my experience with Debbie has completely changed my view. She even moved my plants around out of the extreme heat and watered them. I would highly recommend Debbie for anyone needing house / pet/garden sitting.
 
RENEE (Richmond North VIC, Jan 2022 - 1 week 3 days)
Debbie was a fantastic house sitter. She took great care of our home and our cat while we were away. We came home to a happy cat and our house was spotless. Debbie was very easy to communicate with and I couldn't recommend her highly enough!
 
SARAH (Port Melbourne VIC, Dec 2021 - 10 days)
It was a pleasure to have Debbie housesit while we were away visiting family. We came home to happy pussycats, happy house plants and a lush green garden. Debbie also kindly collected mail and parcel deliveries and took the stress out of this especially with Christmas around the corner. Debbie communicated regularly to reassure us all was well. And it was nice to come home to a freshly made bed and laundered towels and sheets. Debbie's support in leaving our home ready for our ... MORE
 
ELENA (Alphington VIC, Dec 2021 - 1 week 1 day)
Debbie housesat for me while I was away for a weekend in Sydney and looked after my two young enthusiastic spoodles! Everything went great and both my house and pups were very well looked after and as tidy and happy upon my return as when I left them. Debbie's communication when organising the sit, during the sit and at its end was all top notch. Definitely recommend!
 
SAMANTHA (Richmond VIC, Nov 2021 - 2 days)
Debbie was a pleasure to communicate with & looked after our pet dog, Candy, and home beautifully. We returned home to a very happy, content pet. More than happy to provide a further reference if required.
 
CAROLE (Brighton VIC, Jul 2021 - 10 days - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
We left our home, cats and chickens in very capable hands with Debbie. She house sat for us for a week in what was unpredicable (COVID) times and was super flexible and a great communicator. House was left clean and tidy and the menagerie of pets very happy. Highlugh recommend.
 
TERESA (Essendon VIC, Jun 2021 - 1 week)
Debbie was excellent! She made sure our dogs had all their medication, walked them, played ball with them and had great communication with us about them! Knowing our pups quirks, we knew they were well looked after! Our house was clean when we returned and she was incredibly respectful of our home and and fur babies. Thank you so much Debbie, we know who to call next time. And thank you for being so flexible when we couldn't fly home due to the many cancelled flights! We really appreciated it!
 
LYNDA (Elwood VIC, May 2021 - 3 weeks)
Debbie did a great job looking after my house an cat for the 2 weeks I was away. Definitely recommend using her for house sitting.
 
TAYLA (Kew VIC, May 2021 - 2 weeks)
Debbie was a fabulous housesitter - and I would have her back every time. My dog was beautifully looked after and they had such a good relationship that my dog was able to go off-lead in some areas - which shows good level of trust between them. Great communication ... with general questions or updates and photos of my dog. The house was spotlessly clean and all indoor plants survived nicely.
 
MARGARET (Thornbury VIC, Apr 2021 - 2 weeks)
Debbie is a credit to Aussie House Sitters - a real keeper. She looked after our puss and house on three short occasions and we found her to be completely trustworthy and reliable. Debbie left our home very neat and clean on each occasion and our cat seemingly happy for the experience. We would highly recommend her for future house/pet sits.
 
GULIA (Moonee Ponds VIC, Mar 2021 - 5 days, 4 days & 4 days)
Debbie was a wonderful house and most importantly, pet sitter. House was clean when we returned and animals looked well cared for. We were really happy with Debbie and wouldn't hesitate to have her look after our pets and home again.
 
JESSIE (Melton West VIC, Mar 2021 - 11 days)
Debbie was a great house and pet sitter!!! Our (rather indulged) fur kid was well looked after and calm when we arrived home. The house was left neat and tidy. Would definitely recommend Debbie as a reliable house and pet sitter.
 
ROBYN (Point Cook VIC, Mar 2021 - 3 days (long weekend))
Debbie looked after our house for 5 days while we went away. She left the house lovely & clean and was very helpful in assisting me with some remote access work I needed to do while I was away.
 
AIRDRIE (Coburg VIC, Feb 2021 - 5 days)
Debbie did a marvellous job of looking after all my fur babies whilst I was away for 5 weeks. I came hope to a spotless house and very happy animals. I can highly recommend her to others looking for a reliable sitter that will truly care for your home and animals. Thanks Debbie!!!
