Sally - caring and fit

60s, Semi retired

Mature, kind, fit and responsible. I love getting to know your pets and gaining their trust and respect. I will take great care of them and of your house. I lived for many years in Canberra then decided to explore further including the Gold Coast where I am now based. However, I travel for petsits and loved a three week placement recently completed in Geelong. I’ve done petsits in many locations and am now planning to move to Victoria. I have a police check.
I'm experienced at looking after cats and dogs of all sizes and enjoy the unique personalities. I have administered medication and have even improved my fitness with the really active ones. I work out most days so that's a bonus! I really like my surroundings to be clean and tidy and will keep your home that way. I carry out pet and house sits for other services also and can provide more reviews not listed on this site.

Sally was a fantastic sitter, looking after our old dog Snoopy like he was her own. She sent us regular pics, and communicated often. The house was left in immaculate condition. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone, and woukd certainly use her again if needed. Thanks Sally.

So pleased you were happy with the care of Snoopy and the house. I wouldn’t hesitate to petsit for you again. Thank you Michele.
It was a delight to come home to an immaculately clean house. Sally also looked after our house plants very well. She tried hard with our large garden but unfortunately some pots escaped her notice.
 
DAVID (Bendigo VIC, Oct 2024 - 3 weeks)
Pleased you were happy to return to a pristine house but sorry you were disappointed with the garden David. I watered every second day but Bendigo was very hot and dry reaching temperatures of 36 degrees with no rain. I did my best with a very large yard and many cottage style plants - never again ... MORE

MARGARET (Strathfieldsaye VIC, Oct 2024 - 1 week 6 nights)
Thanks Margaret, was so pleased to hear your lovely chickens were happy and healthy upon your return.
Sally and her adult daughter Mikayla stayed in our house for a week and took care of our 6 month Italian greyhound with loving care. They even took her to a doggy cafe and the beach to keep up our puppy's socialisation training. Communication with Sally was very easy, we chatted on the phone and texted a few times so we felt very reassured going into our first ever home sit. The house was left perfectly clean and we certainly would not hesitate to recommend Sally to anyone. Feel free to ask ... MORE
 
MEG (Tewantin QLD, Sep 2024 - 6 nights)
Sally was an outstanding pet sitter for our cat and our house. Sally stayed in our home for 5 weeks, and our cat loved her! He seemed very comfortable and when we returned home he was very calm and himself. From our first meeting, you could tell Sally really cared about our cat, and getting to know him. Sally's communication was fantastic. She was responsive, and was eager to meet Vito and get to know him a bit before the housesit. Sally sent us a few updates on our trip with pictures which ...

We chose Sally for our house/pet sit mainly because she was a Canberra girl and had had good reviews from previous clients. This was our first experience of using a house sitter. and having met Sally a few days before we left we felt re-assured she would do a good job for us. And she did Apart from looking after the house she was asked to water the garden (in what was a hot dry period) and look after our elderly Westie (Nessie) who needed special medication and regular walks. Sally kept in ... MORE

Hi Malcolm, Thank you for this lovely review. It was pleasure to look after your house and Nessie. We quickly developed a very pleasant routine. Once again your kind words were very much appreciated. Thanks you and kind regards, Sally
Sally wove magic with my shy cat Mimi, gaining her confidence and affection, which was wonderful. Sally communicated clearly and sent through photo updates so I knew that everything was going smoothly. The house was very clean when I got home, and we had a follow-up call after the sit to check-in. I can recommend Sally as a great housesitter.
 
KATH (Hawker ACT, Sep 2022 - 1 month 1 week)
Sally was friendly and respectful and I was happy to have her as my pet sitter. My cat, Chiefie, quickly warmed to her and was very comfortable. My place was also left clean and tidy. I would have Sally petsit again if possible.
