Helping Hands Pet Care

52, Natural Health Practitioner

Hi, I am 52 years old, non-smoker with plenty of experience and references. I am studying Naturopathy online and I can be home as much as needed for company, care and upkeep of your daily routine whilst you travel.

Over the last 6 years, as a full-time sitter, I have had the pleasure of caring for any size/breed of dogs as well as a variety of different cats including rescue. I have enjoyed stays at bigger properties requiring pool/garden maintenance and smaller city dwellings with pot plants.

I am calm natured and live a quiet, healthy life with daily yoga/meditation and truly love animals.

Born Swedish, moved to Australia in 2005 and received my Citizenship in 2017. (Please note I will not bring a pet of my own).

Looking forward to hearing from you 🐾

Kindly,
Gisela

Review by Rosie, Willoughby Sydney NSW: "Gisela housesat my home for about two weeks and fitted in immediately. She is very friendly, communicated well, and even kept the garden well watered. She bonded very well with my 18 y/o cat who doesn't do much these days but does like some tlc, which I felt Gisela managed very well. It was so reassuring to know I could go away knowing Latte (the cat) was in good hands. She left the house in a lovely clean and tidy state which I was also very grateful for. I would highly recommend her for any future housesits.

Review by Sophie, Brookfield QLD: "Gisela was a wonderful house sitter for us! We needed someone to step in with less than 24 hours notice (as our previous house sitter had cancelled) and she rearranged her plans to help us out at the last minute. Gisela has a wonderfully calm nature and I felt instantly confident that our home, belongings and beloved pets would be safe with her. When we returned a week later, the house was clean and tidy, the chickens were fed and watered and our dogs were very happy too! I can highly recommend her for future jobs and would love to have her back in our home. I am happy to give a verbal reference should you need one."

Review by Nicola, Pullenvale QLD: "Gisela looked after our two dogs and our home beautifully. We came back to find the dogs happy and the house just how we left it. What a pleasure. Gisela settled in instantly with the dogs and confidently managed them with the additional challenge of being on a rural property with no fences. Thank you Gisela :)"

We could not have been happier, nor had better peace of mind, knowing Gisela was caring for our apartment & our 2 young Tonkinese girls during our 2 month absence. Gisela has a natural inner peace that our girls immediately bonded with, including Mischief who is quite shy and very discerning. Our home was spotless upon our return. Gisela has a delightful personality, is calm, and a good clear communicator. Her resourcefulness also shone through with her handling of 2 unanticipated ... MORE
 
HUGH AND LINDA (MAIN BEACH QLD, Jul 2022 - 2 months 1 week)
Great communication, very easy to have stay. Sent me photos of Gigi and updates. Arrived home to a very happy well cared for Gigi and my unit was spotless. Would have Gisela again and highly recommend.
 
ROSLYN (Paddington QLD, Dec 2023 - 1 week 5 nights)
Gisela took lovely care of Bluey and our home, Bluey was relaxed and happy when we returned home and was obviously very well taken care of, with long walks and loving care. We’d love for Gisela to house sit for us again.
 
DENISE (Fairlight NSW, Apr 2023 - 5 days)
Gisela took care of our two cats while we were on holidays and we were very happy with everything. The cats were well cared for, we received updates incl. videos mid-stay and our place was cleaned spotless when we arrived home (thanks Gisela!). Our cats are rescue cats and do not easily connect with new people but with Gisela's calm personality and cat experience, it was no issue. We highly recommend Gisela as a house sitter and hope to book in another stay in 2023!
 
ANNA (Cannon Hill QLD, Nov 2022 - 1 week)
Thank you Anna and Nic. It was a pleasure. Hope to see you again. All the best, Gisela
We conducted a thorough walk-through of the house, pool & garden areas prior to the sit. Detailed written instructions were provided as to the care of the house, garden, pool & potted plants. Garden duties were minimal & involved watering some small areas 1-2 times a week, if necessary. Given that we retained the services of our pool technician, gardener & cleaner for the duration, we felt the brief was manageable. We returned to find our lush garden ground cover converted to a dust bowl ... MORE
 
SANDIE (Brisbane QLD, May 2022 - 2 months)
Gisella took very good care of my dog, cat and home. Everything was kept very clean, the pot plants watered and pets happy. Would highly recommend.
 
KATHRYN (Kenmore QLD, Nov 2021 - 7 days)
Gisela was a courteous and great house sitter for our home and little dog. The dog was relaxed and happy when we came home. If covid permits, we would love to use Gisela again.
 
SUE (Cannon Hill QLD, May 2021 - 1 week 4 days)
I would highly recommend Gisela to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pets and/or home. She has developed a lovely relationship with our old girl. There was excellent communication, including a video of our sweet Poppy on her birthday. The house and dog were immaculate when we returned home. Looking forward to our next trip away now we have met you Gisela
 
KAYE (Brookfield QLD, Apr 2021 - 4 weeks)
Giselle was a great reliable housesitter for my cat Harley. Giselle was great at communicating, friendly and looked after Harley and house very well. WOuld highly reccommend Giselle for house sits and will be reaching out to her for future housesits for myself.

Gisela is a gentle and kind person who cared beautifully for our Greyhound, I could see upon our return how much he had bonded with her and the affection between them was lovely to see.

NICOLA (Pullenvale QLD, Jan 2020 - 10 days)
Gisela looked after my sisters 2 dogs and guinea pigs for 3 weeks whilst both of us travelled overseas .. she did a wonderful job of looking after the animals whom were very sad to see her leave .. the dogs were walked daily and well loved and the house spotless.. as I found Gisela on my site my sister has given me this review to post as she will definitely be getting Gisela back to housesit and since has looked after another of my friends dogs and home .. My sister would highly recommend her
