40, Organisational Change Manager (WFH) and professional pet and house sitter

** I am currently in Mexico house sitting from June 22 until early 2025.

Hi home owners! My name is Emma, I recently moved from the Sunny Coast and have been blessed to be sitting professionally for over 3 years here whilst settling in and exploring Brissie. My love for animals, the companionship and sitting experience has been so wonderful I haven’t stopped!

I absolutely love animals, I grew up with 3 beautiful dogs (Kelpie Big red, Border Collie Ollie, and Cavoodle Theo) and a cat Deanos and spent a lot of time on my grandparents farm surrounded by animals. I am fortunate to be able to work remotely from home in my corporate role in Change Management so I am home with your pets everyday. The only time I am generally out of the house is for a few hours a week when at the yoga/pilates studio or visiting family.

When I look after animals they are given all the attention, care and companionship every pet deserves with morning and afternoon walks, cuddles, affection and quality playtime. You can rest easy and enjoy your trip knowing I have the experience, training and responsibility to ensure your loved one(s) get the absolute best care, love and attention whilst you are away. I touch base daily with pics and videos to shorten the distance away from missing your loved one.

I have experience sitting dogs and cats of various breeds and personalities - energetic, playful, timid, anxious and rescue pets and am adept at nurturing gently to coax them into feeling safe with me. I am also experienced in dealing with emergency visits to the vet upon noticing illness, nurturing and calming during storms/fireworks and am comfortable and confident administering medication if required.

I am quiet by nature and very house proud taking pride and meticulous care in the cleanliness and energy of my surroundings so you can rest assured I will respect your place and treat it as though it were my own. I lead a healthy, very active lifestyle, non smoker/drinker.

During my time travelling and living overseas over the years (to almost 50 countries) I have stayed in many airbnb's and also hosted 2 airbnb's whilst living in South America. I have received 5 star ratings as both a host and guest which is representative of the pride and importance I place in respecting someone's property.

I love the opportunity to housesit and discover new areas of Brisbane and am very grateful people trust me with their beloved pets and home. I have great endorsements from home owners, glowing references and repeat requests with owners who are now my regulars. Please get in touch to arrange a meet and greet if you think I would be a suitable house sitter for your home and fur family! 🐶😻

Warm regards,
Emma

Emma took fantastic care of our house and energetic 9 month old labradoodle during our 3 week trip overseas. She kept us updated on any issues and obviously really loves caring for dogs. I would highly recommend her and use her again in a heart beat!
 
LUCY (Ashgrove East QLD, May 2024 - 3 weeks)
My dog took a liking to Emma instantly and during the initial meeting and again at the final handover with Emma, my dog’s tendency to bark was discussed with clear written instructions given as to how to deal with this. I showed her how to charge, turn on and put the vet approved stop bark collar on my dog and to always make sure she wore the collar when left alone. I wasn’t aware there were problems until, on two separate occasions while I was away, I received complaints from neighbours and ... MORE
 
JULIE (Bulimba QLD, Mar 2024 - 2 weeks 2 nights)
It is not in my nature to speak ill of a person, so I will refrain from commenting to the accusations in this review or disclosing details that transpired with the apartment and pet during this house sit. After 2 years of professionally housesitting, back-to-back with 5 star reviews and several ... MORE
+1 glowing review for Emma! This was our first time having someone housesit for us so we needed a bit of hand holding through the process. We also wanted someone who we felt immediately comfortable with staying at our house and taking care of our recovering dog, and Emma put us at ease straight away. Emma was fantastic with communication leading up to the housesit. While we were away, she also gave us frequent updates about our fur bub and assured us he was thriving. She did a few extra ...

MOLEE (Ferny Hills QLD, Mar 2024 - 4 nights)
We were so lucky to find Emma and feel so appreciative of her care for our dog Bruny and our home. Emma kept us updated with pics and messages about Bruny which we enjoyed so much and we came home to a very clean house, and a very happy and relaxed dog. Thank you so much Emma!
 
APRIL (Everton Park QLD, Feb 2024 - 2 weeks)
Emma was amazing looking after Bailey for our long summer break. Thoughtful daily updates and the house was immaculate on her departure. Would welcome her back with open arms.
 
ANNA (Red Hill QLD, Jan 2024 - 4 weeks)
Emma is a great communicator and regularly kept in touch prior to the house sit. During her stay, Emma sent daily updates of our dog and his wellbeing. He was walked often and was very well taken care of. (I think he misses her company!) Emma also had the added duty of turning on our Christmas street lights display nightly, which she did willingly. Overall, I can recommend Emma to look after your pet and house to a very high standard. Thanks Emma!
 
KAREN (Chermside West QLD, Dec 2023 - 4 weeks)
Emma looked after our ragdoll kitty, home and garden for six weeks with so much care and love. She won over our kitty with her warm and gentle nature, and kept us updated with a photo every single day. We came back to a sparkling house and a relaxed happy cat. Emma is so kind, thoughtful and diligent - it was very reassuring to have her in charge. When our kitty developed a minor health issue, she monitored the situation, kept us informed and took her to the vet at just the right point. ... MORE
 
MIRANDA (Toowong QLD, Sep 2023 - 1 month 2 weeks)
Emma is an absolute godsend. She is absolutely beautiful with our fur babies and they love her. She took the utmost care of our new home and every day without fail for 6 weeks sent photos and a little message about our lovely babies so we knew they were happy and healthy. Emma is professional but friendly and extremely responsive to any messages we sent. We were worried about leaving our fur babies for so long but Emma made it much easier as we knew Milly and George were loved and cared for. ... MORE
 
KAREN (Coorparoo QLD, Aug 2023 - 1 month 2 weeks)
We would highly recommend Emma to anyone who needs a capable pair of hands and a big heart! Emma is reliable, communicative and mature. We felt so at ease with Emma who came to meet our dog and learn our routine. However, even if Emma doesn’t get to meet your pet before you leave your home or pet in her care, it wouldn’t matter as she is a fantastic communicator. Our dog fell in love with Emma. We highly recommend Emma to anyone for any length of time ..
 
HELEN (New Farm QLD, Jun 2023 - 1 month 2 weeks)
Thank you so very much for the lovely review. It was my absolute pleasure to care for beautiful, sweet Frankie. Look forward to popping past soon and seeing you both and the little cherub.
Emma is simply, brilliant. Instead of feeling like a house / dog sitter, she felt like a member of the family. I would say Emma was honest, gentle, exceptionally clean, considerate, caring, and communicated regularly with us regularly via photos and messages. Our dogs absolutely love Emma, and adopted her lovingly and easily as a new caregiver. Emma knew we would be jet lagged and offered to get us groceries and had cleaned the house and outside areas with fresh linens on beds with beautiful ... MORE
 
SUE (Thorneside QLD, Apr 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
I recently engaged Emma to look after my cat whilst travelling interestate. Emma kept in regular communication providing updates + bonus cute photos which made my trip more enjoyable knowing my cat was taken care of at home. My cat also required daily medicine which Emma took care of easily. I would highly recommend Emma for your next trip away!
 
SOPHIE (Lutwyche QLD, Mar 2023 - 1 week 6 days)
Emma is the only person I'd trust to take care of my house. Instead of feeling like a house sitter, she felt like a member of the family. To describe her, I would say she was honest, thoughtful, caring, and communicated regularly with me via photos and messages. And so friggin honest its not funny. Our dog seems to like her more than us and wishes she would come back. She knew we would be jet lagged and offered to get us groceies and had clean all our linens with fresh beds when we ... MORE
 
FERUS (Hamilton QLD, Mar 2023 - 2 weeks 5 days)
Emma came to our rescue when a booked sitter had to cancel.we face timed and I was immediately put to ease with her lovely caring nature.I knew on the first day of sit when we met that our Lilly cat was in good hands!For the week we were away communication was great and Em sent us pics everyday! When we got home we knew Lilly was well cared for and the house was very clean and Em had made a beautiful flower arrangement too! Wouldn't hesitate to book Emma again!
 
KELLIE (Cleveland QLD, Feb 2023 - 1 week 1 day)
Emma was a great house sitter! She communicated with us daily while we were away and we came home to a spotless house and two very happy dogs. Would highly recommend her to anyone needing a house sitter!
 
MATTHEW (Seven Hills QLD, Jan 2023 - 4 days)
Emma looked after our place and our two furry boys for 5 weeks whilst we were away in December. Emma was great with our cats, they were both happy, healthy and well fed when we came back :) Emma sent us updates and photos of our boys daily and she is very quick at responding to messages. Our place was clean and tidy upon our return with fresh bedding! Emma is lovely and easy going and we would have her cat/house sit again! We can absolutely recommend her to others. Thank you Emma!
 
CATHRIN (West End QLD, Dec 2022 - 5 weeks)
Emma was a great house and pet sitter while we were away on holidays for 3 weeks. She kept us informed every day about the wellbeing of our 2 dogs and sent through photos. We came back to a very well kept house. We'd absolutely have Emma house and pet sit in the future and highly recommend her service
