Kathryn & James

49, Business Entrepreneur

57, International Production Events Manager

I am a business entrepreneur with a Doctorate in Business and a Psychology Honours Bachelor, dividing my time between Adelaide, Australia, and Colorado, USA. Growing up on a farm in the Adelaide Hills, I developed a lifelong love of animals and bring that dedication to house-sitting, with recent experience caring for chickens, alpacas, sheep, dogs, and cats.

My partner, James, is an international events production manager from Colorado with over 20 years of experience managing high-profile events—from White House engagements and state governor events to concerts for renowned artists like Keith Urban and BB King. Alongside his career, James has a genuine passion for animals and plants, and he approaches house-sitting with the same attention to detail and dependability.

We bring a wealth of experience and a genuine love for animals and plants. We look forward to the opportunity to care for your beautiful pets and garden, ensuring they receive the attention, care, and love they need while you’re away. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you feel we’d be a good match 😊

Having Kathryn and James here was a blessing. They are such a warm, friendly couple who my dog loved immediately. They looked after the place very well, and left it tidier than when they'd arrived. I'd love to have them again. I came home to a very happy puppy and beautifully clean home. Highly recommend!

Kathryn and James looked after our old Qlder, cats, duck and plants in the Atherton Tablelands. I felt so comfortable having them in my home, they were respectful and kind and communication was great. They looked after our home and we returned to it after a tumultuous holiday so happy to see it looked after I had previously had a nightmare experience where the house sitters damaged our newly renovated kitchen, ate all my expensive (pantry ) foods and supplements and took one of our cats ...

Kathie is a beautiful soul, I'm so happy to have had her stay in my home with my dog Pushkin. Communication was brilliant, Pushkin was well cared for as was my home. I'd definitely recommend Kathie and hope our paths cross again in the future Thanks Kathie xxx

LUCIE (Somerton Park SA, Sep 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)
We came home to happy cats and a very clean and tidy house. It was wonderful to arrive home to find the sheets and towels washed even though Kathie had to leave quite early in the morning. Kathie was quick to respond to messages and very accommodating. We'd definitely be happy for Kathie to pet sit for us again.
