Hi! I’m a 44-year-old single woman, non-smoker, rarely drink, and don’t use drugs. With my adult children now independent, I’m embracing the opportunity to solo travel around Australia.

I’m a passionate animal lover and have owned or cared for a wide range of animals—big and small, young and old. I’m confident administering medications when needed and caring for pets with varying needs and temperaments.

I understand the trust it takes to leave your home and pets in someone else’s care. That’s why I prioritise regular updates and open communication, so you can truly relax and enjoy your time away.

Nature and photography are two of my great loves, so bush settings, coastlines, and mountain views are always appreciated—but I also enjoy the convenience and vibe of a city stay. I’m experienced in garden and indoor plant care (and not to tempt fate, but I do have a green thumb!). Looking after pools is also no issue.

Professionally, I have an ABN and do bookkeeping remotely, which allows flexibility while I house sit. I also occasionally take on paid work such as caretaking, Airbnb changeovers, home cleans, and light relief management. Around the Gold Coast and Tweed Heads, I often pick up short-term management roles, so I’m always happy to consider sits in those areas.

Having owned multiple businesses, as well as my own home and rental properties, I’m proactive, reliable, and handy with basic repairs and troubleshooting around the house.

My ideal house sits are 14+ days where I can have a guest visit on occasion and where pets are comfortable being home alone some days so I can get out and explore the local area.

Outdoor security cameras are fine, but I prefer not to house sit where there are indoor cameras—especially in warmer climates.

I also have a full profile and references on AHS (Aussie House Sitters) that I can share upon request. Most of my bookings come directly, so feel free to reach out if you think we’re a good fit!

“We couldn’t recommend Holly highly enough. She stayed with Hank for two weeks and was incredibly attentive, reliable, and thoughtful in every aspect. She took time to understand his training, routine, and individual needs, which gave us complete peace of mind leaving him for an extended period. Holly’s communication was exceptional — detailed updates after every walk, which was such an important part of supporting Hank’s reactivity training and made us feel constantly connected. Hank was relaxed, and clearly very well cared for when we returned. In fact, he even sulked for a few days afterwards because he missed Holly. She looked after our home impeccably — everything was left spotless, and our plants were thriving. Holly is professional, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in the wellbeing of pets. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her back; highly recommend her to anyone looking for five-star pet care.”

“Hollie was easily the best house-sitter we have ever had! We came home to happy cat, happy chickens, and a house that was in better condition than we we left. Despite the added drama of our bees swarming while she was there, and un-seasonally hot weather requiring lots more watering, Hollie was absolutely wonderful in taking care of thinks, and we felt secure knowing she was there. We hope she will become our go-to house-sitter in future. Thanks again Hollie for looking after our home and animals so well.”

“Hollie was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of Indigo and Pandora — they were both calm and happy when we got home, which says a lot. The house was spotless, the plants looked great, and she kept us in the loop with sweet updates while we were away. It really gave us peace of mind knowing everything (and everyone!) was in such good hands. We’d welcome her back anytime!”

“Hollie is great. She only stayed for a short time, but my cats loved her, the house was clean and the garden healthy. Daily updates while I was away really eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my vacation stress free. Thanks Hollie!”
