38, Science Educator
Hi there! We are a family of 3 from Sydney: Catherine, 38, a a professional FT science educator; Francesco, 46, is a museum zoologist and Maia, 6. We share the love for pets, nature and travels and enjoy meeting new people, visit new places and enjoy the company of many furry (and not) pet friends. Although new on this platform, we have been house/pet sitting for a number of years and have extensive experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, fish. In particular, Francesco is from an Italian farming family and very knowledgeable of garden and orchard maintenance as well as good expertise with managing large marine and freshwater aquaria. Catherine has years of experience fostering pets and organising native animal display shows for kids and adults. Maia has spent most of her first few years in the countryside and done her first bushwalk at 50 days old. She adores all animals (from tiny beetles to elephants) and is very comfortable around all pets. We are also very respectful, clean and tidy. We will look after your house and pets as our own! More than happy to provide more information and references if required. Looking forward to hearing from you and to some exciting opportunities.
It was great to leave my cat in this lovely family's care. They communicated promptly, gave Schnicky lots of love and attention and sent me photo updates. My house was clean and tidy and my rose garden cared for. They are welcome to house sit for me again.
Francesco was amazing: he responded promptly to my messages, posted videos of my (contented) cat every few days while I was away, and left the house (and fridge!) spotless.
I hope he'll be available to take over the care of my cat and garden next time I'm away.
Thank you, again, Francesco
Regards, Alister
This was the first time I had a house sitter so, I carefully reviewed house sitters. I chose Francesco as he appeared the most conscientious and qualified with animals, and this proved to be so. My apartment was left very clean and tidy. I received photos frequently of my aquarium and happy cat. Francesco even happily helped fix the aquarium light that stopped working while I was away and communicated a solution with me. Francesco and his family are respectful house sitters of your home.
Such a wonderful experience. Much appreciated regular cat updates! House and garden looked amazing when we returned. A huge thank you!
From the first time we met Francesco right until the end of the housesit, we felt comfortable and happy to leave our house and dog in his care. He and his family took great care of everything, sent messages now and then and left the house very clean and tidy. We would welcome Francesco and his family back again whenever we go away. They were amazing.
Francesco looked after our home, gardens, 4 aquariums and 3 cats for 4 weeks recently while we travelled. We would recommend Francesco to anyone, he took excellent care of our home and animals. He is communicative, friendly, kind, follows instructions well and really gave us peace of mind while we were away.
Our cats noticeably seem to have enjoyed their time with him and his family while they were in their care.
10/10 we would not hesitate to book with Francesco again.
Absolutely perfect house sitters. So easy to deal with and amazingly beautiful with our animals (2 dogs and 1 cat). We have a farm and everything was left in pristine condition, house was actually cleaner than when we left! An absolutely beautiful family who also spent some time with our extended family and everyone got on fabulously. We can not thank you Francesco and Catherine enough and would highly recommend them. Their daughter loved the animals like her own, gave them so much love and we ... MORE
Our worries were put to rest during our recent trip, thanks to the incredible pet-sitting service provided by the Franceso, Catherine and Maia . From the moment we met them, it was evident that they were not only passionate about animals but also genuinely cared for their well-being.
Our two cats, Tilly and Romeo, and our elderly dog, Toby, immediately formed a bond with them. They took the time to understand each pet's unique personality, preferences, and needs, ensuring that they felt ... MORE
Catherine and her family looked after and home and dog, Ruby perfectly! We came home to a clean & tidy house just as we had left it. Catherine was a pleasure to communicate with and I would 100% recommend them to anyone needing a house sitter. Thank you so much again :)
Brilliant house sitters that we would definitely recommend!
After a 3 week house sit, our home was spotless and we received regular photos, videos and updates on our two cats. They even raked up the never ending pile of leaves in our back garden over autumn!
Both cats seemed very content when we returned and we could see they had been well looked after.
Thank you Catherine, Francesco and Maia :)
Catherine and her little girl Maia were fabulous. We received updates and pictures while we were away. Our pets were very happy and healthy when we arrived home and our house was pristine. I have no hesitation in leaving my pets, home, and garden in the capable hands of Catherine and hope she is available in the future. I cant recommend Catherine enough, Thank you Maia for looking after my dogs and giving them all the love. I loved the pictures you left for me and your baking.
A house sitter provides loving, full-time, home-based pet-care while you're away.
