5⭐ Trusted, Experienced & Responsible Reviews

4.9 Rating 9 Reviews

I am an experienced house and pet sitter who has cared for homes and animals across four continents, including cats, dogs, chickens, fish, birds, gardens, and children.

It has been a privilege to be entrusted with so many people’s homes and much-loved animals, and I take that responsibility seriously.

I am known for being clean, organised, resourceful, and highly reliable.

I maintain homes carefully, follow routines closely, and consistently leave properties immaculate and well cared for.

Homeowners value my calm presence, clear communication, and ability to manage situations independently.

I work remotely, live quietly, and spend a lot of time at home, ideal for pets who are used to company.

I am a non-smoker, comfortable in both urban and semi-rural settings, and particularly at ease caring for homes surrounded by nature.

Meditation, yoga, and creative pursuits are part of my daily rhythm, which supports a grounded, steady approach to house and animal care.

I value simplicity, respect, clear communication and looking after things as if they were my own.

“We found Karen friendly, reliable and upbeat. She managed a large house and pool with a big garden and an elderly cat that can be quite needy. Karen impressed us with her level of experience, taking it all in her stride with minimal guidance and our garden and pool looked wonderful on our return. She managed every issue herself and was very low maintenance. She is an excellent communicator and kept in touch with us throughout our absence, reassuring us that she was coping well. Karen is a sensible and calm person who inspired confidence and worked to lighten our load on our return. She cleaned the house, changed the linen and remade the beds, ensuring that we arrived home to a clean, well-organised house. We would highly recommend Karen for any house-sitting position and would be happy to be contacted as referees.”

“We were lucky to have Karen look after our energetic Kelpie puppy, 2 cats and 5 chickens over Easter holidays. Karen was on the front foot with communication, very responsive and considerate - making time to meet with us beforehand and providing comforting updates while we were away. The cats including one very shy one were comfortable and happy, puppy was walked and socialised and chickens watered over the few days she stayed in our home. House was also perfect on our return. Thanks for staying Karen.”

“Our Freddy was extremely well looked after and Karen kept us updated with messages and photos while we were away. Freddy was taken on lots of excursions and had a ball while Karen was here. Highly recommended.”

“Karen was a wonderful carer for Jabby - just what we needed. She gave her lots of time and cuddles, played games and lots of walks. Karen is a lovely person to have in the house, very respectful, followed instructions and looked after our home and garden beautifully. We hope she is available again when needed. Thanks Karen”

“We are very happy with the way Karen looked after our pet and our home. We arrived home to a happy little dog who’d been given lots of attention, taken on nice long walks and enjoyed plenty of playtime. Our house was nice and tidy and even the bed linen was all washed. We’d definitely recommend Karen and would be happy for her to house sit for us again.”

“Karen is wonderful. She is friendly, easy to deal with, detail-oriented, and helped keep our house and pets in great order. She was clean and tidy, and we couldn't even tell she had visited apart from the fact our cats, were extra happy and content upon our return. I appreciate Karen, especially taking care of Frankie's medication requirements. Thank you Karen.”

“We were so fortunate to have found the most amazing and caring pet and house sitter in Karen. She has always been so professional, kind, and thoughtful towards us and our many pets! We have 6 so that's a lot of cuddles and attention to share out every day while we were away!!! Our home was cared for like it was her own and she always kept us well informed of anything that we needed to know about. I would book Karen again in an instant!!!”
