Reliable, experienced and mature house sitter.

35, Manager

I am a very responsible multilingual university-educated (with a Master degree in History) professional who has been housesitting since 2015. I recently relocated to Melbourne so am particularly interested in any housesitting opportunities in the area.

Besides house and pet sitting my other great passion is volunteering. Where possible I combine this with my house sitting assignments which has provided me with some brilliant experiences and given me a great glimpse into local communities and events. Some of the volunteer roles which have been particularly memorable have been two placements at the Venice Architecture Biennale, helping at a charity Halloween haunted house in Portland, a very early morning shift at the Chicago Marathon, and many small museums, charity events and local organisations who needed a hard working pair of hands.

If you are looking for a mature, flexible, reliable and highly experienced sitter with excellent references and a great love for animals please get in touch.

Please contact me for a link to more of my references.

Victoria was a fabulous sitter once again. Unit immaculate and my cat Hugo very content.
 
KIM (South Brisbane QLD, Sep 2024 - 4 weeks - 1 of 4 endorsements from this owner )
We could not have been happier with Victoria housing sitting for our two cats. Victoria was very responsive and kept us up to date throughout our holiday. We have two quiet nervous cats and she did an amazing job with them. The house was immaculate and we returned to two very relaxed cats who had been very well looked after. We really appreciate all her efforts, she is a true cat whisperer and we would not hesitate to recommend her and also would love to have her look after our boys again. ... MORE
 
ALEXA (Bowen Hills QLD, Sep 2024 - 2 weeks 3 nights)
Victoria stayed at my apartment and took care of my cat Niko for a month while I was overseas. This was my first time using a sitter and I was a little nervous as Niko had always been uncomfortable with strangers and stressed previously when I had left him at families places. Victoria was great in every way. Before the sit we chatted over Skype and confirmed what my expectations were. When I was away she gave me regular updates and was quick to respond when I asked for an update myself. Niko ... MORE

This is the second time Victoria has looked after our three cats - and once again they took to her straight away. The house was spotless and the garden and pool tidy and well cared for. I would not hesitate to recommend Victoria.

We came home after a short absence to a clean house and a happy Hagrid, so I was happy too! Victoria was easy to contact, proactive and willing to send me progress reports about Hagrid if needed. I’ll happily keep her on my “books”!
 
JAN (Yaroomba QLD, May 2024 - 6 nights)
OUTSTANDING!!! Thank you so much Victoria for taking care of our 3 cats and our house. It was great getting to know you before we left and we were so grateful that you kept us updated with emails and photos when we were on holidays. It was a pure delight to return home to a house/garden/pool that had obviously been so well maintained, if not better than when we left! I highly recommend Victoria for any house sitting, she is respectful and genuinely nice. I would not hesitate in asking her back ... MORE

Victoria again cared for my unit and my cat Hugo. Wonderful job as always. The apartments left clean and tidy and Hugo extremely happy. Excellent

Victoria is the epitome of excellence in housesitting. With a genuine love for animals and impeccable communication skills, she ensures both pets and homeowners are well taken care of. Victoria’s reliability sets her apart, making her a trusted choice for any homeowner seeking peace of mind while away. Anyone would be lucky to have Victoria take care of their home or animals while they’re away. We hope to connect with Victoria again in the future. THANK YOU VICTORIA!!
 
MINNIE (Northgate QLD, Mar 2024 - 2 weeks)
Victoria looked after our three cats and house for two weeks. Victoria came around before the sit to meet us and the cats which made it a comfortable process. Victoria was a hit with the cats - the ‘scaredy Cat’ of the trio was sitting on her lap within hours of us leaving!! It was great knowing they were happy and allowed us to have a stress free holiday. The house was immaculate when we returned and Victoria took great care of the pool and gardens, even contacting us when it rained a lot ... MORE
 
JOAN (Manly West QLD, Jan 2024 - 2 weeks 1 night - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Victoria was a lovely Housesitter. She looked after our house and our cat with care. She was a great communicator in the lead up to and throughout the sit. We felt so glad our rescue cat could stay in the house and not have to go to a cattery (which would have made our cat very anxious) while we were away. We came home to a calm cat and a very clean house. Victoria went above and beyond. I highly recommend her. Thanks Victoria. 😊
 
ROSIE (The Gap QLD, Dec 2023 - 1 week)
Victoria was an excellent communicator, keeping in contact with us as much as necessary. She was very flexible and professional. She made us feel very safe leaving our 3 high maintenance cats in her care.
 
SARA (Fortitude Valley QLD, Nov 2023 - 1 week)
This is Victoria’s 2nd House sit for me (and my cat Hugo) She again left the house immaculate and I think Hugo misses her already! Can’t praise her enough.
 
KIM (South Brisbane QLD, Nov 2023 - 1 week 2 nights - 3 of 4 endorsements from this owner )
Thank you Victoria. We have returned to a tidy and well kept house along with 2 very happy and healthy pets. You seem to have gone out of your way to help us out and it was a pleasure to have you stay. Maybe we can meet again. Thank you and all the best for the future.
 
ROSS & PAT (Everton Hills QLD, Nov 2023 - 8 Days.)
Victoria proved a reliable house-sitter for us during our 6 weeks' away. Our cat was happy and healthy when we returned, and the house was tidy and in the same condition as when we left. We live in an apartment building and there were no issues or concerns raised by neighbours or the building manager
 
SARAH (Kangaroo Point QLD, Aug 2023 - 6 weeks)
Victoria was excellent! Very communicative and my 2 cats were very content, would definitely recommend her and get her to catsit again if able.
 
LUCY (East Brisbane QLD, Jul 2023 - 3 days)
Victoria was wonderful Communicated brilliantly and I returned home to a spotless unit and a very contented cat. Will definitely have her sit again hopefully for any future trips

No rating I would like to highly recommend Victoria as a great person to look after your house and cats. After nearly a week of being away were positively surprised with the happy cats and a very clean house. Victoria even found her own way of getting our outdoors-explorer-Ciri back home at night. ;-) Good communication throughout, reliable, conscientious and caring. We will definitely ask Victoria for help again. :-) Thank you, Victoria! :-)
AGA&MARCUS (London England, Jul 2017 - 6 days) From House Sitters UK
No rating Victoria was incredible. She was thorough in providing references and ensuring that nothing was left for the last minute. I came home to a happy cat and a sparkling clean house. I was provided with updates throughout my trip and Victoria did everything that was asked of her. An absolute pleasure and would gladly consider having her sit for us again.
