Grew up with a dogs but right now it's been 25 years of crazy Abyssinians and Lorikeets and tropical fish. I do come with a pH testing kit, am happy to vacuum out the base of your aquarium and protect your bio organisms in your filter too!

Have been home maintaining since I was alone from 19 so taking care of your place is a snap. I do lawns and hedging and edging, blowing, pressure cleaning etc... so you come home to a beautiful trim home. Just ask if you need other jobs done.

Often working from home depending on the time of year. I can also repair basically anything so if you have something that needs sorting, run it past me.

I am a Sydney local. The priority is that you come home to a spotless place and happy chilled pets. Your home and your darlings would be in very safe hands.

Thanks!

Alistair was amazing he looked after our cat Barbara and the house like it was his own. He cleaned our BBQ, fixed things around the house and trimmed our hedge etc etc! He is definitely the person you want have to house sit. I cannot recommend him enough and would not hesitate to get Alistair to house sit again. He is kind and genuine and communicates with updates all the time.

Alistair looked after our cats beautifully for 3 weeks. One of them requires medication every day which was no problem for Alistair, and he even went above to beyond to get some more from our vet when supplies were running low. We had lots of updates and photos throughout, and Alistair was very quick at replying and easy to communicate with. He treated our house as if his own - trimming the garden back, fixing a dodgy door handle and leaving the place very neat and tidy when we got home. ... MORE

Alistair looked after our cat Bella like she was his own and we were able to travel without concerns, knowing she was well cared for and happy.

What a superstar Alistair is! About two weeks after agreeing to sit for us I found out that one of our cats, Sprout, had kidney disease and needed a lot of meds. So what started out as a low maintenance sit became very complicated! I explained everything to Alistair and he took it all in his stride and was very compassionate and caring. Sprout is also incredibly nervous and wary of strangers. By day 2 Alistair was sending me pics of sprout purring and snuggling! Alistair spent the time to ... MORE

Alistair was extraordinary in the care of our home, but more importantly in the care of our 14 year old cat, Maddy. She had eye surgery with complications during our 8 weeks absence and required oral and topical medications. Alistair was brilliant with the task at hand. I think a previous reviewer said he was the 'cat whisperer', well I have to agree. His compassion and care of Maddy was well beyond expectations. We highly recommend Alistair and will gladly seek his services again, hopefully in ... MORE
 
WARWICK (Stanmore NSW, Mar 2023 - 9 weeks)
Alistair is a superstar! He agreed to do a short weekend sit to see how the cats went (as we have an incredibly nervous cat) before doing a long sit for us. Communication was prompt and easy and the cats loved him. Highly recommend!

Alistair recently took wonderful care of our 2 young cats while we holidayed overseas for 3 weeks. Like most pets, Frida & Kahlo have their idiosyncrasies but Alistair took this in his stride. He really is a cat whisperer! Our 2 took to him in a very short time. We returned to find both absolutely relaxed & happy - but missing Alistair we suspect! He kept our apartment in perfect order. Communications & arrangements went smoothly throughout. If you are looking for a reliable person to take ... MORE
 
BRENDA (Darlinghurst NSW, Nov 2022 - 3 weeks)
Alistair was great! Excellent communication and our very fussy cats loved him. Alistair dealt with all the medication and different food very well. Our fur babies were well groomed and the house super tidy when we got home. Definitely recommend.
 
BEC (Marrickville NSW, Oct 2022 - 1 week)
Alistair looked after our boys and house as if they were his own, which is exactly what we were hoping for. What more could you want in house sitter! He is thoughtful and communicates well. We can't recommend Alistair enough and would happily have him house sit again. Thanks so much :)

Al did a great job house sitting. He went above and beyond to make sure the cats were comfortable and he looked after the house beautifully. He's a lovely man and I highly recommend him if you need someone to take especially great care of your pets.
 
CANDICE (Five Dock NSW, Sep 2022)
Great sitter, excellent communication and went above and beyond to help us as we were getting some work done on the house while he was there. Easy to deal with and everything well looked after
 
SHANNON (Lilyfield NSW, Aug 2022 - 7 days)
Alistair was a great house sitter - he communicated regularly and I arrived back home to a very clean and tidy place and very relaxed cats. He even fixed a broken door! I highly recommend Alistair
 
JO (Newtown NSW, Aug 2022 - 2 weeks & 2 days)
I can't recommend Alistair highly enough. He maintained my house and garden perfectly, and my kitty loved him. He spent five weeks at my place, and regularly texted me to let me know that things were fine. Honestly, my cat looked a bit miffed when I walked through the front door that I was home and she'd lost her new friend. Now that I've been home for a few days, I'm also constantly coming across things that Alistair has fixed. What a guy. Trustworthy, delightful, kind, and thoughtful. If ... MORE
