SingleOf recent, I was on 40 acres caring for 48 animals. It was incredible to say the least and an experience I shall cherish. I cared for: 3 alpacas, 2 Maremmas, 13 female goats and sheep plus their babies (13), 3 male goats, 2 pigs, 1 peacock, 2 ducks, 2 cockatoos, 2 rabbits, and 5 inside animals - 2 cats and 3 dogs. Everyone was fed 2xdaily except for the doggies. Aug-Oct '24, I housesat for 3 months on 5K acres in Central Qld (CQ), with cattle, 3 working collies, using a ride on, manually watering over 36 potted plants, turning on sprinklers to water the garden beds, and 35+ trees. I needed to create an excel file just to keep up!

Hello, my name is Kim. I am a single Australian woman originally from Coogee Beach, Sydney, via the NSW mid coast (where, I cared for my elderly Mum), no pets.
At age 14, I began dancing professionally and travelling around Australia and overseas. 20 years later, my career pivoted towards TV in the news and current affairs division, What followed a few years after that was, the opportunity to work for an airline, at 2 airports, plus a variety of travel agencies escorting British and US tourists on tour.
I began my own real estate business 'flipping' and leveraging in the late 90's. I loved the challenge of reinventing a forgotten piece of real estate and turning it into a very comfortable home. And as I truly care about my role as a house sitter, I understand how important it is to have a trustworthy, reliable and honest soul to care for your loved ones. That's why I call myself a home carer.
In 2001, my life pivoted and changed direction. And it was then I began my spiritual journey. Since 2004, I've been associated with the only Indian female run spiritual university that teaches meditation free of charge (foc) as a worldwide community service, where, I've also lived and volunteered.
These days, I'm happy most when I'm at home, spending time and caring for your treasured companions, eating nutritious food, going for walks, the beach, volunteering, meditating, travelling and connecting with like minded souls. I truly am a free spirit, young for my years, and a wise elder. I am chilled and peaceful just like my lifestyle.
My qualities: I am authentic, honest, kind, reliable, mature, responsible, fun, trustworthy, caring and empathetic.
Looking forward to meeting you - Om shanti (I am a peaceful soul).
We were so pleased that Kim chose to do this sit for us. Our dogs, garden and home were very well cared for while we were holidaying and Kim regularly kept us up to date with how things were going while we were away. Even got us some good rain! We highly recommend Kim and commend her on the sit she did for us.
Kim house sat for us recently, looked after Tilly the cat, Lilly the budgie and some fish. Kim kept us updated daily with videos and photos especially of our Tilly. She was very confident, asked questions if unsure of our needs and the house and garden was neat and tidy on return. Happy to recommend Kim for any further house sits.
As usual Kim’s focus is on our family pupsters Larry & Yo-yo.
On our arrival home they were calm, but excited to see us.
During our absence Kim walked them up to twice a day, also being mindful of Larry’s arthritis which can cause him to abandon a walk.
Both dogs are on medication and Kim kept to this regime as requested.
Happy to recommend Kim as a great sitter for the animals as she does put her focus on them.
We also received daily updates, videos and photos while we were gone.

Kim did an amazing job of looking after my house and puppies. The communication was excellent, I couldn't fault Kim on any level. I would highly recommend Kim for any future sits. Thanks again Kim for looking after my home and Aussies like they were your own.
Our first house sit with Kim was a resounding success.
Kim spent time prior to the sit getting to know us and our 2 little dogs, a very important part of who Kim is.
The dogs very happily accepted Kim, and readily settled into a routine with her, as her frequent photos and videos showed.
There was an issue with one of our little dogs and Kim, with the help of a close neighbour, managed the episode well with a visit to our vet and her ongoing care.
Kim left our home in immaculate condition ... MORE
This is the second sit Kim has completed for us. Once again we found Kim to be great with communication before, during and after the sit.
Our two dogs remembered Kim and made a big fuss of her when she arrived for the sit, making us feel extremely comfortable that we were leaving them in very good hands! Kim just has a natural affinity with animals & it really shows.
Kim sent photos & updates of our dogs via WhatsApp while we were away.
She watered plants as requested and looked after our ... MORE
Kim had excellent communication throughout the process. She took great care of the chooks and the dog. The house was clean and tidy when we returned. There was a little mishap which caused some minor damage but it was purely accidental and these things happen. She did offer to contribute financially to a replacement. Overall happy with her assistance.
Kim is very thorough in understanding your wants and needs for a house sit. She follows up with many phone calls and messages until she is very clear she is the right person for your house sit. Once everything is confirmed she will stay in touch with you until the day she arrives at your home. Once there, she is eager to learn how to do everything just the way you do things. She understands the importance of caring for animals in just the right way. She follows your instructions and is not shy ... MORE
Great sitter and so lucky Kim fitted me in last minute. Always peace of mind having Kim.
We were fortunate enough to have Kim come back for a second house sit. Kim is a great communicator and prior to the sit she is all over it. I was confident there wouldn’t be any hiccups and true to form Kim didn’t let us down. The dogs love her and even when we returned late in the evening Frankie chose to sleep with Kim our first night home which makes me know the dogs were well taken care of. They were spoilt with walks and we were spoilt with videos and photos. Thanks again Kim for taking ... MORE
Kim is all over house sitting. Harley and Frankie were thoroughly spoilt and so well looked after. We are very thankful for the great communication prior, during and since regarding the house sit. Kim sent us photos and we could see how happy the dogs were to be in her company. Thank you Kim for spoiling our puppies, looking after our home and of course the care taken to manage our property on your own. We look forward to our next sit with you. We would definitely recommend Kim for any ... MORE
Kim is wonderful. My pets and home were well looked after and very spoilt. I have used Kim on more than 1 occasion and will continue doing so. I can go away with peace of mind knowing everything is well looked after. Come home to happy pets and beautiful clean home. I would definitely recommend Kim for your house and pets. 😊
Kim was a wonderful sitter for our home and two dogs for 12 days this month.
Kim kept in regular communication from the date the sit was confirmed until her arrival.
We were able to meet Kim prior to the sit, which was a great way to break the ice, manage expectations and bring peace of mind to both parties.
Kim bonded incredibly well with our dogs and sent cute, regular updates via email while we were away.
On our return our house was clean and tidy, and our dogs were obviously well cared ... MORE
Kim was a perfect sitter for us. She kept us informed daily with funny messages and photos. Lottie our Maltese x puppy is a fussy eater (aren't they all) and Kim would sit patiently and hand feed her, Thanks Kim and all the best for the future
Kim loved our furry girls and it was reciprocal! She communicated frequently both prior to and during the sit. We are very appreciative that we found another trustworthy sitter on Aussie Housesitters. Thanks heaps Kim!
I found Kim very competent looking after my property and cat
My main issue was with my rescue cat.
Princess didn't run away as I expected but stayed and within 5 minutes she was very comfortable with Kim
They bonded very quickly and from then on they were best friends.
Kim has a special way with animals. Kim sent photos of Princess and kept me updated with what was happening at home.
My pot plants were very healthy and the house very well looked after.
I found Kim very thorough in our ... MORE
We were pleased to have Kim housesit for us and can thoroughly recommend her. Communication was easy and we returned home to find well cared for happy pets and a spotless house.
We were pleased to have Kim for our 2 week sit, with great communication prior & during her stay, we felt very comfortable knowing our pets and home were in very good hands. Our two dogs loved Kim and pretty sure they will miss her and their regular outings. It was so nice to arrive home to happy pets and a clean house.
We recommend Kim to anyone in need of a dependable and caring service.
Highly regarded, trusted, good correspondence & our dog was well cared for.
Kim was wonderful, i was hesitant to go away from my animals, but Kim was re assuring and as soon as i opened the door to her the dogs where instantly happy. So that made leaving easy. She took care of all of my animals so well and they were happy and looked well cared for when we returned home. The house was clean and tidy as well. The communication from kim was also great, she kept me up to date from day to day. Highly recommend and will be using Kim in the future if she will have us. :) ... MORE
Kim took amazing care of our home and all the animals which included horses, dogs, cats, hens and fish. Communication was fantastic and she sent photos of the pets whilst I was away. I could relax knowing that they were in good hands, particularly my old dog who needs that extra bit of attention and medication each night. She also left the house in immaculate condition. I would highly recommend Kim and would love to have her back in the future.
Kim is a great house sitter, very accommodating and no fuss. Kim kept our home clean and tidy as well as washing our down stair floors which was completely un expected.
Lovely Kim was a great Housesitter.
She kept in excellent contact prior and during the stay. She looked after the dog with care and kept him active.
The house was well cared for and when she left, all clean for our return.
Thanks Kim for keeping our property and dog well cared for this holiday.
Kim was the perfect house sitter. She cared for our dog just as we do. Our garden and house were left in excellent condition. Kim was in constant communication with us regarding the sit and even popped over before the date we left so we could meet her and discuss the details further.
With a house sitter looking after your pets, house and garden - you can really relax. Happy days.
