I am happy to travel further from metro Melbourne for mutually suitable sits. Please contact me with an overview of your home and pet/ plant requirements and location for a quote.
My rates reflect the holistic approach I have towards each housesit and take into account that it is another role on top of my part-time work, and in order to continue to offer housesitting to a high standard, I am giving up the opportunity to have a full-time corporate job.
I do not charge additional rates for your typical pet care requirements such as walking, medication administration, picking up after them etc.
If you would like 24/7 care for your pet, please contact for a quote as while I am able to accommodate this, I need to request additional flexibility with my employer.
Deposit Policy
To secure your booking, a deposit of 50% is required upon confirmation of the housesitting dates.
In the event of a cancellation by the client, the following refund policy applies:
-
Less than 3 weeks' notice: No refund (full deposit forfeited)
-
3 to 6 weeks' notice: 25% refund of the deposit
-
More than 6 weeks' notice: 50% refund of the deposit
Due to an increased demand for my housesitting services, this deposit policy is in place to protect against last-minute cancellations and associated expenses. To maintain the exceptional standard of house and pet sitting services I have upheld for the past seven years, I need to carefully plan my schedule, including my day job and business commitments, around my housesitting engagements. This often involves extensive travel and booking flights, as I am frequently interstate with my own pet during gaps between housesitting assignments.
I am dedicated to providing the highest level of care for your pets, often at the expense of time with my own pet. Your understanding and cooperation with this policy are greatly appreciated.​
