Experienced and loving pet & house sitter

41, Self Employed

Aloha, I have been living a nomadic lifestyle for the last 6.5 years, travelling in America, Bali, Mexico, Hawaii, and Australia.

I enjoy taking care of all types of animals and have looked after dogs, cats, birds, and snakes.

I love being in nature and exercising, so no worries if your dog needs plenty of outdoor time.

I used to pet sit with my previous partner, and we built up quite an established profile on another international pet/house sitting website.

I am happy to send photos and updates, as I am open to the level of communication you require. Rest assured, your fur babies will be taken care of with plenty of love and attention.

In regards to house-sitting, I am highly responsible and very easy-going. I am happy to follow the needs of your pet(s) and the rules of your home. I am a non-smoker and very rarely drink.
I will keep the space clean and comfortable while you are away.

I work online, so I am very flexible and am able to cater to your pet's unique exercise needs, as well as giving them lots of loving care and attention.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions, and thank you for your consideration in caring for your loved ones and home while you enjoy your travel, knowing that your home and beloved animals will be well taken care of.

Rates:

If I apply to pet sit for you, I do not charge.

If you reach out to me to request my services, my rates are:

$50 per night for 2 animals
$10 per night for each extra animal

Aloha,
Kristen 😊

Kristen was an excellent housesitter - our three fur babies were so well cared for and very happy upon our return. Great communication and would 100% have Kristen stay again. We came home to a spotless house - thanks for everything Kristen!
 
KIRSTEN (Parkdale VIC, Mar 2024 - 1 week 2 nights)
Kirsten was very thorough and asked many questions to make sure everything was at a very high standard. We appreciate your stay and felt our pups were very well looked after. The house was left spotless!
 
TARA (Farrer ACT, Oct 2024 - 4 nights)
We were extremely happy with our house sit by Kristen. Communication was extremely easy and she coped extremely well with our foster dog who can be somewhat rambunctious. We even arrived home to some lovely home cooked banana bread. Highly recommended
 
PATRICIA (Eltham VIC, Sep 2024 - 2 weeks 1 night)
Thank you so much for your lovely review, Tish 🩷 I just went to write a review for you and realised the time had expired—so sorry about that! I have been doing a lot of travelling of late. I loved pet sitting for you and your adorable fur babies xx
Kristen was fantastic with our two much loved Border Collies. She was a very clear communicator and highly reliable. Our house wasn't that easy to navigate (Country cottage) but Kristen was adaptable and flexible. When we arrived home the house was immaculate and our pets were relaxed...and excited to see us. I can highly recommend Kristen.
 
MATT (St Andrews VIC, Sep 2024 - 2 weeks 4 nights)
Kristen was a lovely sitter to our two cats while we were on holiday. Kristen communicated with us regularly and the cats warmed to her right away. The house was so nice and clean when we came home, and thoughtful touches made 😊 Thank you Kristen!
 
ESTHER (Langwarrin VIC, Aug 2024 - 1 week 6 nights)
Kristen was amazing with our little puppies and our house. She left the house in amazing condition (even washed our bed sheets and put new ones on) and also communicated with us everyday on what was happening back home. Highly recommend her for any house sit!
 
SAM (Elwood VIC, Aug 2024 - 3 nights)
Thanks so much Sam for your lovely review!! Sorry I didn’t make it in time to put a review for you 😊
I would ask Kristen to house sit again in a heart beat. I was away for 3 weeks leaving my cat for the first time and felt so assured that not only she was well looked after but my cat adored her 🐱 Communication was a great with updates as much as I wanted and the house was spotless on my return which is exactly what you want after a holiday
 
KIM (St Kilda VIC, Jul 2024 - 3 weeks)
Kristen was a wonderful housesitter. As we had a 4 year old dog and a 14 week old puppy, she had a difficult task (our puppy was very energetic and not a good sleeper yet!) Kristen took all this in her stride and dealt with the situation beautifully. She kept us informed the whole time and even managed to get our puppy sleeping well. On our return, the house was clean and tidy and the dogs very happy!
 
PETRINA (Ashgrove QLD, Jun 2024 - 3 nights)
Very good ,
 
BRENDAN (Yallambie VIC, Jun 2024 - 3 nights)
Kristen was amazing! We came home to a very happy dog and immaculate house. This was my first time using this app (and I’m very precious with our dog). I got regular updates and knew our dog was well cared for. I would recommend Kristen very much, she is lovely, responsive and tidy. Not only did she leave the house perfectly tidy, but she left is lovely homemade treats. Thank you Kristen!
 
MEGAN (St Kilda VIC, May 2024 - 1 week 2 nights)
Communication with Kristen was great - the cats were well looked after and she went out of her way to make sure I came home to a clean and comfortable home! Thanks Kristen. Marianne
 
MARIANNE (Abbotsford VIC, Apr 2024 - 3 nights)
Thank you so much for your lovely review!! Sorry I didn’t get to write one for you. You have a lovely home and Poppy and Georgie were a pleasure to spend time with 🐈🐈
Highly recommend Kristen. Our home was spotless, the animals were well cared for and happy, and plants alive and well. And she made a delicious cake to welcome us home! We were fortunate to meet Kristen in real life, and so glad we did, such a lovely, caring and compassionate person. Kristen has great open communication, which we really appreciated. Looking forward to having Kristen pet sit again in the future.

Kristen took on our house-sit with short notice. She was friendly and communicated well. Our lawn, anxious doggo and house were well looked after.
 
AINSLEY (Raymond Terrace NSW, Mar 2024 - 3 nights)
Kristen was fantastic in every respect and we would highly recommend her to anyone considering a house sitter. Great communication, happy animals and a spotless house! What more could we ask for?
 
GREG (Lighthouse Beach NSW, Feb 2024 - 3 nights)
This was our first time using aussiehousesitters and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Kristen. As soon as we met it felt like we were old friends. She is a lovely, kind person who looked after our home and our dog Bobbie for five weeks. We got regular updates, and she efficiently addressed minor issues that cropped up both in the house and with our dog. We came home to a lovely clean house (and a yummy chocolate cake) and a very happy & contented dog who had been well ... MORE
 
DEBBIE (Cleveland QLD, Dec 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
Kristen is an experienced house sitter and is highly recommended. Our dog was properly cared for and had formed a bond with her. It was a pleasure to return to a happy dog and to our house which was as clean and tidy as we had left it.
 
NARELLE (Kingscliff NSW, Aug 2023 - 2 months)
We had the beautiful Kristen look after our fur babies for 5nights and could not recommend her highly enough! She is such a beautiful soul and our fur babies warmed to her instantly. Her communication was exceptional! We loved the photos and updates 🥰 the house was absolutely immaculate on our return!
 
KATIE (Carrara QLD, Aug 2023 - 5 nights)
Kristen was an ideal Housesitter. We had great communication prior to the sit and during the sit. Kristen looked after our 1 year golden and took care of her beautifully. The house was clean and tidy on our return. I would highly recommend Kristen to look after your home and care for your animals while you’re away.
 
JACKIE (Mount Eliza VIC, Apr 2023 - 1 week 2 days)
This was my first time leaving my home and fur babies with Kirsten for a long weekend away. She was super lovely and took excellent care of our home and dogs. Upon our return the house was so clean and tidy! I would highly recommend Kirsten for anyone needing a house and/or pet sitter :)
 
VICKI (Aspendale VIC, Feb 2023 - 3 days)
Kristen stayed at our property for 2 weeks, looking after our car & dog. Our home was left very clean and tidy. We had great communication through out her stay, with updates on our pets and things with our home. We would definitely use kristen again.
 
ASHLEIGH (Bentleigh East VIC, Jan 2023 - 2 weeks)
A+++ sitter Everything was spot on from Kristen. It was our first experience with house sitters and we couldn't have been happier. Highly recommend
 
JUSTIN (Highett VIC, Oct 2022 - 1 week 6 days)
Kristen was the perfect house sitter. She cared for our dog so well and made sure the house was clean for our return. We had just the right amount of communication and Kristen dealt with small issues around the house and with our dog when they arose. She even offered to mow the lawn (which we hadn't expected). And left us a tasty treat on our return. I would highly recommend Kristen to look after your dog and home.
 
FIONA (Mitcham VIC, Sep 2022 - 1 week 5 days)
Kristen was lovely . I had the chance to meet her in person beforehand and I couldn't have been happier having her take care of our puppies and home . Thank you Kristen
 
DANIELLE (Burleigh Waters QLD, Jun 2021 - 5 days)
Kristin was an absolute delight looking after Georgie. We have had Kristin twice now and both times she took such great care of Georgie and our house. She would take Georgie out for walks rain, hail and shine to give her exercise.. communication was fantastic letting me know every TV img I needed to and even took Georgie to the vet when Kristin thought Georgie had hurt her paw. Kristin is a gem when house sitting for you.
 
KATE (Pottsville Beach NSW, Mar 2021 - 8 days - 11 days)
Kristen is a first class house/pet sitter. She took immaculate care of both Ginger and our house. We returned to a spotless house and a very happy dog! She is a delightful person, with a very positive attitude and a nurturing, caring nature. We would recommend Kristen to anyone and we are hoping to be able to have her stay again.
 
SCOTT AND DEB (Cudgen NSW, Jan 2021 - 1 week 3 days)
We had Kristen house sit for just under 2 weeks and she did a wonderful job for us. When we arrived home our house was spotless and lawns mowed! Kristen kept in touch on a regular basis and sent photos & updates of Ruby & Blue. I cannot recommend her high enough and would happily have her back to sit for us again in the future. Thank you so much Kristen. Natalie & Rob
 
NATALIE (Pacific Pines QLD, Dec 2020 - 12 days)
Kristen was our house sitter for two and a half weeks and did an amazing job for us. It was a pleasure to walk into a spotless home and to see how loved, happy and well cared for our little dog was. Kristen kept in touch on a regular basis and sent photos of our spoilt little guy. I cannot recommend her high enough and would gladly have her back to sit for us again in the future. Thank you Kristen for a job well done. Pauline and Bert Gatjens
 
PAULINE (Biddaddaba QLD, Nov 2020 - 2 weeks, 4 days)
Kristen was an amazing house sitter! She was so clean and left the house impeccable. Our dogs were so well looked after. I would highly recommend her!
 
WHITNEY (ASHMORE QLD, Nov 2020 - 2 days)
I can't speak highly enough of Kristen and Anthony and their time in our house. We have a special needs dog who is paralysed and needs carrying around the house and walking in a wheelchair. It's not easy, as she's a German Shepherd so she's big. Kristen and Anthony were magnificent with her, right from the moment they met her. The spiritual connection was immediately evident. We felt totally comfortable leaving her in their care, and also leaving the house in their hands. When we returned, the ... MORE
 
KAREN (Brighton East VIC, Dec 2018 - 3 weeks)
No rating Kirsten and her partner house sat for us and looked after our 2 fur babies wonderfully. They were a pleasure to deal with and were always contactable and also trustworthy. Our house was left clean & tidy & our german shepherd & pug happy. We wouldn't hesitate to use Kirsten & her partner again. Thank you
