On a house-sit right now
Gillian, Your Housesitting Fairy
47, Allied Health Professional
** 2025 BOOKINGS NOW OPEN **
Delighted to look after your wonderful, well-trained pets and furbabies and keep your home secure, clean and tidy. I demonstrate great care with your pets and have utmost respect for your home and privacy.
About me: business owner, non-smoker, non-drinker, and a house/pet sitter of over 20 years experience. You can be reassured by my responsible, mature, reliable, honest and good-natured caring for your precious furry friends (whether young or senior) and your treasured abode, with plenty of experience in garden/lawn care if needed.
The peace of mind this will give you as you travel and explore our beautiful state, country or indeed the world is truly priceless.
I am open to short, medium and long term housesits (with a preference for one month or longer) and, as such, will be fielding multiple enquiries at any one time. Preference is given to prompt responders who are clear and decisive. This also means that, although I will do my best to accommodate requests to meet in person prior to a housesit, this won't always be possible, by which case zoom is an excellent alternative.
I look forward to chatting with you via online messaging, phone or zoom and arranging a housesit to suit your needs. Have a wonderful day :)
** Please check the open dates on my availability calendar prior to contacting me to ensure your housesit dates can be accommodated. If your preferred dates are unavailable, you're still welcome to contact me to request to be placed on a waitlist for the dates in question (in the event of reschedule/cancellations of the original booking). **
** Bookings for 2025 dates will be taken from July 2024. You can ask to be waitlisted for your preferred dates if you wish **

If there were more stars to rate Gillian we’d use them! This is the third time we have had Gillian house and cat sit and we are just so impressed with her amazing ability and skills. Our two fur babies Leo and Mattie adore her (and I think it’s mutual!) and we just couldn’t ask for more from her. Her daily updates and communication are just the best we’ve encountered from any housesitter we’ve had. The house was left impeccably tidy and clean.

She’s engaging and entertaining as well as being incredibly resourceful and was able to deal with a major crisis while we were away. Thank you so much Gillian, you’re a star!

I was very much looking forward to returning to this beautiful location, lovable kitty friends and it didn't disappoint. The house is perfectly positioned amongst beautiful tall trees, with lovely views of the hills. The two tuxedo cats are incredibly lovable with outstanding snuggling skills (they've been taught well!). The location is very handy to either Monash Fwy or Eastlink a bit further up and has everything you could want close by, including Fountain Gate if needed. It was wonderful to be kept regularly up to date with Carolina and Ian's travels with many beautiful pictures and detailed, interesting and humorous blogs. I genuinely felt very appreciated and had an excellent experience with you all. See you again soon! 😊😊
The house sit got of to a rocky start after a struggle to enter the property, no fault of Gillian. Thanks for your patience. I knew Gillian was going to be an excellent sitters from the moment I met her. She sent me pictures of Lucy and messages while I was away. Lucy loves a meow and knows what she wants. I am so grateful for the care and attention Gillian gave my home and my furbaby. My home was immaculate when I arrived home.

Fresh linen, house vacuumed and mopped. Bathroom and kitchen were sparkling.
Lucy was happy and relaxed.
I highly recommend Gillian for your house and pet sitting. Having someone so caring set my mind at ease for my getaway. Without a doubt I would have Gillian back to sit anytime. THANK YOU 🥰
PAULINE (Malvern East VIC, Sep 2024 - 3 weeks)
Thank you for the wonderful review, Pauline! I enjoyed becoming good buddies with Miss Lucy and her telling me all the neighbourhood gossip - she has the best conversational skills ever! Would be happy to return to this perfectly located spot. Thanks again! 😺💕
We were so happy with everything Gillian did, from the first meeting to the end of the sit, her communication, honesty, kindness, punctuality and overall demeanor was spectacular.
Bailey is an anxious 7 year old male cat and being able to leave him in such capable hands for over a month was so reassuring to us.
On our return the house was just the way we left it and Gillian treated Bailey so well, I am not sure he wanted her to leave. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any future ...

Gillian really is as amazing, as her reviews.. Gillian is the first house/cat sitter I have accepted without a video meetup before inviting her for a meet and greet. Gillian is great with her communication, before, during and as she was leaving my house/cat sit. I got multiple photos (with amusing captions), each day, of all 3 of my cats, and detailed updates of what each of them had been doing each day.

I got multiple photos (with amusing captions), each day, of all 3 of my cats, and detailed updates of what each of them had been doing each day. They all obviously adored Gillian and she welcomed them into her room and on her bed. Gillian managed to brush all 3 cats which was wonderful, especially for the two furry British Shorthairs. She gave my older cat his medication, and kept my 10 month old Russian Blue amused with lots of toys and playing. The house was left exceptionally clean and tidy (with pictures sent to show me).
Thanks so much for the wonderful review! I was delighted to undertake this housesit and become friends with Misty, Ziggy and Felix. They are adorable, fun-loving and entertaining cats with a lot of love to give. Looking forward to the next one! 😀
I have said it before & I will say it again, Gillian is truly amazing! This is the second time we have had Gillian look after our cats & they just love her.

So delighted with the care that Gillian provided for both my home and, most importantly, my beloved pet. It was an absolute pleasure to return home to find everything beautifully ordered and neat. Gillian kept me updated about Floss throughout, which was very reassuring and much appreciated. I would have no hesitation in using Gillian’s services again and would highly recommend her to others if seeking a responsible, organised and respectful house-sitter. Thank you, Gillian.

Flossie, the gentle and loving soul, was wonderful to get to know and look after, and is a little angel in a cat costume. She is very affectionate, protective, and a committed and skilful snuggler. The home is spacious, stylish and elegant, and very well located in an attractive, quiet street with Doncaster Westfield close by, as well as handy access to M1 or M3 as needed. I had an excellent experience and would love to return in future 😸💕
Gillian is truly amazing. She really cares about fur babies & looked after our 2 cats like they were her own, especially the old one who needed a little extra. On top of that our house was left spotless & we received daily updates with gorgeous photos. We don't really want to recommend her, we would rather keep her to ourselves, she is a treasure!!

This is the 3rd time Gillian has sat and looked after my two cats and home and I hope she will be able to sit again.
Communication is excellent with regular updates and pictures of my cats and my home was left clean, neat and tidy.
I strongly recommend Gillian.

It was so lovely to return to complete another sit. The location is handy to local retail and a short drive to the beachfront. The neighbourhood is peaceful and the accomodation serene, comfortable and easy to look after during the course of the assignment. Ann's two cats, Roman and Audrey, are such wonderful furry friends, very loving and sweet and quite quickly capture your heart with their playful antics and exceptional snuggling skills. Thank you for choosing me for this housesit! I thoroughly enjoyed returning to this great neighbourhood :)
Gillian once again took care of my feline family and home exceptionally well.. She provides updates during the sit with photos and leaves the house extremely clean. Thank you once again Gillian, my 4 legged family and I are very grateful 👏🙏

Words cannot express how amazing Gillian was from the first contact to the end of the first sit.
Our cat Bailey is an anxious little boy and from the first time Gillian met him he was quite receptive.
I found Gillian to be exceptional, very organised, kind, responsive and an all around great human being. When we returned from our five day holiday, our place was spotless and Bailey was so calm and relaxed.

All in all, an excellent experience and I'm looking forward to our next sit later in the year. Thanks so much, Tracey and Bailey! 😊😊
Another wonderful experience choosing Gillian as our house sitter. She’s reliable, tidy and excellent with the pets. ☺️ Had a stress-free holiday knowing my furry kids were getting lots of attention and love with regular cute updates.
Anyone would be lucky to have Gillian as their sitter 😊

Very happy to recommend Gillian. We needed a pet sitter for almost a month over the Christmas/new year period and had never had to engage someone beyond family and friends to help out. Gillian was so friendly and approachable that we did not hesitate asking her to pet sit after our first meeting.

The stars of the show, Izzy and Mia, are loving and sweet pussycats who are easy to befriend, look after and get attached to. They both enjoy pats and attention, with Mia being the smoochy one and Izzy being a bit more independent, though she will appear for overnight snuggles.

Thanks so much for the opportunity to do a housesit for you all!
Gillian agreed to my very short sit on very short notice which I was very grateful for. She was also flexible and added an extra day when I requested it. She communicated like a dream both before and during the sit, including sending me almost daily photos of my cat. My house was spotless upon my return and my senior cat was happy, fluffy (from brushing which she loves) and well fed.

Your communication is always prompt and polite, and your detailed handover notes to ensure everything went smoothly were greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for the opportunity to do a housesit for you!
Gillian was such an amazing house sitter and pet sitter for my cat and dog. She kept me updated throughout her stay and my pets were very comfortable and happy.

Your home has an excellent location near lots of great cafes, restaurants, handy distance to lots of transport options and only a stone's throw to the CBD.

Kenny and Lou are so easy to love and look after, I'd be happy to return for future housesits and to recommend the assignment to other housesitters too! Thanks so much 😀
Gillian was such a lovely person that made me feel comfortable about having her in my home and looking after my 2 dogs. Gillian is very friendly and sent photos of my dogs which was great. Nothing was too hard or much for her to do. Have booked her for more sits.

It was a relaxing and peaceful spot to housesit, and to look after your two beautiful golden retrievers. They were so loving, sweet and very huggable. I thoroughly enjoyed becoming friends with these two furry angels and I look forward to seeing you all again soon!
Gillian was a fabulous Housesitter, and had our dear Birman Latte still been alive, I'm sure they would have loved each other. She's completely trustworthy, very clean & tidy - infact you'd barely know she'd stayed! Gillian is a lovely lady, whom we have no hesitation in recommending, & we'll certainly book her again!

It was a pleasure looking after your excellently located, very comfortable and scrupulously clean home (loved this!). Thank you to you both for being so thoughtful, kind and generous to me to ensure I felt very welcome and comfortable, which I most certainly did. I thoroughly enjoyed receiving updates from your travels around Victoria and Tassie, and exchanging witty repartee with people who have an excellent sense of humour (thoroughly appreciated!). Although your beautiful boy Latte has crossed the rainbow bridge, his loving energy is all throughout your home and I felt as I'd gotten to know him anyway.
I'd be happy to return for assignments with you in the future!
Gillian was a fabulous house sitter. After meeting her for the first time, I felt very confident leaving my home and very spoilt cat, Missy, in her care. While away I received daily photos of Missy and on my return I had a spotless home and a well cared for cat .I would highly recommend Gillian to look after your home and animals.

Thank you for the opportunity to do a housesit for you and I hope to see you and Missy again soon!
Gillian was an absolute delight from our first communication. She sent regular updates/pics and clearly has a wonderful rapport with animals. My feline family were very happy and content upon my return and the house was spotless. I would highly recommend Gillian if you are looking for a responsible, reliable person to house/petsit.

Communication was excellent and it was great to receive updates and photos of the cats while I was away. I highly recommend Gillian and have already booked her for a future sit.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Ann! Thoroughly enjoyed being in your lovingly cared for and curated home, full of warmth and personality and overseen by your sweet and affectionate pussycats, Audrey and Roman (who have infinite love to give). Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.
It was a pleasure having Gillian come to sit. When Gillian came to stay, my cats had been a touch unwell and I had peace of mind from day dot r.e Gillian's ability to spot issues with the cats and communicate them if they were to occur.
I came home to a lovely clean house and two very happy cats, what more could you want! I enjoyed Gillian's daily updates, pictures and her stories about my little fluff nuggets' adventures, I highly recommend Gillian for your next sit!

I felt very reassured by her genuine care for animals, that she would do what she said she was going to do, and would look after our homely sanctuary with respect. We are super grateful to Gillian when previous housesitters cancelled at the last moment due to illness.

We are super grateful to Gillian when previous housesitters cancelled at the last moment due to illness. Our cats were very relaxed and settled upon our return, Gillian sent us some pics whilst we were away, communicated easily and clearly and the house was in ship shape on our return. We would have Gillian back in a flash to housesit for us again and I would have no hesitation in recommending her for future sits for anyone who needs reassurance that their home and animals will be cared for and not treated like an air b n b. Thank you Gillian!!

I'm happy I was able to help out following a cancellation from your other housesitters and that you were free to enjoy your holiday as planned. I loved spending time in your home with Obi and Gizmo, and I felt they were looking after me as much as I was looking after them.

Happy you!
With a house sitter looking after your pets, house and garden - you can really relax. Happy days.

If there were more stars to rate Gillian we’d use them! This is the third time we have had Gillian house and cat sit and we are just so impressed with her amazing ability and skills. Our two fur babies Leo and Mattie adore her (and I think it’s mutual!) and we just couldn’t ask for more from her. Her daily updates and communication are just the best we’ve encountered from any housesitter we’ve had. The house was left impeccably tidy and clean. She’s engaging and entertaining as well as being ... MORE
