PLEASE NOTE: The only availability I have left in Australia for 2024 is Nov 22 - Dec 1, 2024.
I adore meeting new fur babies, and looking after your home as if it were my own. I'm not into late-nights or partying, and am a non-smoker.
I work from my laptop, so your pets will have company most of the time. The nature of my work means my brain needs frequent breaks throughout the day - so lots of time for kisses and cuddles.
If you have a dog(s), I'm happy to come and stay the night before you leave if convenient. It's less stressful for the doggies if they're left with someone they 'know', rather than a stranger just as Mum and/or Dad walk out the door. I am happy to do the same for cats if necessary, but they're usually only interested in knowing if I know where the food is stored - hee hee hee.
I am happy to set up a Zoom session so you can "meet" me before making a decision.
Warmest regards Kaz

Kaz took amazing care of our 2 girls and we can't thank her enough. Kept us updated all the time about them which takes all stress and worry about leaving your pets behind. House was lovely and clean as well which is difficult with 2 little monsters running in and out all day. Thanks Kaz.
You are most welcome Ruth! Thank you so much for entrusting me with your babies and your beautiful home. I missed having doggies on the bed last night at my new sit ðŸ˜
Kaz just finished sitting our 3 cats for 1 week and 5 days. She took great care of the cats and our house and quickly developed a closeness with the friendly one. She kept us well informed and the communication was enjoyable.
We would love to have Kaz house sit again if she was available.

What a delight to return home in the wee small hours and find everything sparkling clean. Thank you,
Kaz was in charge of one Ragdoll cat, the first time I had left him. He is shy of people he doesn’t know, and disappears at great speed when a stranger invades his territory. I imagine this was a challenge at times, especially as I requested he be inside for the night. She managed well considering he prefers to spend his days in the garden.

Kaz did a fantastic job of looking after our very active cattledog, as well as our cat, chickens and ducks. She communicated throughout the sit with updates and photos reassuring us of the animals' well-being. The house was also well looked after and spotless on our return. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kaz as a house/pet sitter and she will be my first contact when I book future trips.

I couldn’t think of anyone better that could’ve looked after our three, including two cats and one dog and one of our pussycats needed medicine in the morning and evening, so that’s always a challenge -and Kaz was brilliant . We hope that she will come back and housesit for us again.You reading this Kaz ?!hehe !

Ha ha ha - I'm reading! Thank you so much for trusting me with your home and baby. Hopefully I can get my ducks in a row for February.
I was concerned leaving my dogs for 5 weeks. How would they cope... how would I? As soon as Kaz visited I knew that they would be happy. Kaz, you came into the home mainly greeting Berty and Digby. When we sat down to talk they cuddled up to to you. I was impressed with the questionnaire you gave me. I could tell you everything that you neded to know concerning the home and the dogs.
On holiday I received photos and stories, not too many but enough to keep me happy.

Your efficient and courteous manner made me know that you were the best person for my home and dogs.
Thank you!

Awwww thank you Sally - can't wait to see you and the doggies again.
Hee hee - I do usually send daily photos and updates, but when you said you would be on a cruise ship with no internet for 17 days I did slack off a bit!
Kaz was an incredible pet and house sitter. Her level of dedication and care for our dog and cat was above and beyond. You could tell she genuinely cared for them. Her communication was daily which was impressive and she immediately made us at ease with leaving our fur babies for 5 weeks. She introduced Winnie our Cavoodle to her mum and sisters dogs, and they went on many wonderful play dates and adventures together. Winnie was totally spoilt with the walks and fun she had with Kaz.

The house was kept clean and tidy and was immaculate when we returned. She even left us a full pot of soup, which was exactly what we needed after 24hrs of flying. Would highly recommend Kaz to anyone. You will be fortunate if she picks you! Will gladly have Kaz back anytime in the future.

Kaz was simply wonderful!
I felt very comfortable leaving her with our two very loved cats. The house looked great on our return and Kaz sent through regular updates.
I would definitely recommended her to anyone looking for an extremely professional house sitter.

I don't think we could have found a more perfect house sitter and cat sitter for our two cats, Poyo and Oreo. From day 1, we could tell Kaz genuinely loved and cared about our cats, and ensured we got daily updates while we were travelling overseas, making it an extremely stress-free holiday for us knowing our cats were happy and safe (and spoiled!!) back home. Kaz also left our home in an IMMACULATE condition when we got home, even cleaner than before we left. Highly recommend Kaz if you want ...

Awww thank you so much Nancy. They were so easy to care for because they were so darling. I miss them too! I will definitely come and visit when I'm back later in the year.
Oh shucks Kaz, thanks so much. Absolutely delighted you enjoyed your stay. Everything was left in perfect condition, even though Monet has had a minor break-down from lack of your attention. You have set a precedent with your furry friend, that I can never live up to :) Thoroughly recommend Kaz anywhere and the ongoing updates were great to read, whilst I was away. You will be house-sitting around the Southern Moreton Bay Islands for some time yet......so, until next time, your stay here was ... MOREOh shucks Kaz, thanks so much.

Kaz was amazing, and won over our normally shy and anxious cat. Whenever we have been away, he's a bit skittish on return - I have never seen him be such a cool cucumber!
Kaz's communication was great, both in preparation and while we were away - we loved the updates. And the house was left BEAUTIFULLY on our return.
We had a fabulous holiday, and Kaz was such an important part of that.

Kaz is amazing! She went above and beyond for us and we felt really comfortable leaving our cats in her presence. She kept us up to date with how they were which was lovely not to have to ask- she also put our rubbish bin out for us which I did not ask but she just took the initiative! I was so grateful for that! She also washed the linen and kept the house really tidy for our return. Thank you so much , I wouldn't hesitate to ask Kaz to sit again. Our Kitties just loved her snuggles.

That's right Kaz had washed, cleaned and made the bed. Down to every little detail she had it covered. This pet sitting experience well exceeded our expectations. Kaz you are amazing!!! Thank you so much!

Kaz was amazing! We had a hard time imagining leaving our fur baby at home for 4 weeks, but Kaz made it so easy. Jet adjusted quickly and, by the looks of the daily photos, had many adventures and fun times while we were gone. Thanks Kaz! We hope you will come back.

Kaz was a fabulous house-sitter. Great communication before, during and after the house sit. She cared for our social and energetic 16 week old Cavoodle and our grumpy tom cat. Both were really settled when we came home, showing how well she'd connected with them and cared for them. Kaz was very thoughtful about the needs of the puppy and came over to meet her before the sit, as well as arriving early on the first day to help the transition. We highly recommend Kaz and would very happy have her ... MOREKaz was a fabulous house-sitter. Great communication before, during and after the house sit.

Kaz was an amazing house sitter and fur child carer :-)
We got lots of pics and updates throughout our holiday away and this eased my concerns over our rescue cat who hates change.
Our fox terrier went into withdrawal after Kaz left... missing all the spoiling and walks on the beach.
For cat to be cuddling by day 3 is MOST unusual, so Kaz has the touch for sure.
The house was well cared for and super clean on return, which is such a bonus!
Definitely will use Kaz again any time... ... MOREKaz was an amazing house sitter and fur child carer :-)
