Hi there,

I’m Kara, a trusted and experienced house and pet sitter who loves caring for animals of all kinds and treating every home as my own.

I’m a 41-year-old professional with a heart for animals, a deep respect for the homes I care for, and a lifestyle grounded in calm, kindness, and responsibility.

I live a clean, healthy life, I don’t smoke, drink, or use drugs, and I thrive on practices that keep me balanced, like yoga, meditation, sound healing, and surfing. I also love reading, travelling, and being in nature. House and pet sitting allows me to combine the things I value most: caring for animals, exploring new places, and honouring the trust of others.

I run a national disability company remotely, which gives me the flexibility to take on house and pet sits across Australia and aboard. Having raised my son (now 23) and being a homeowner myself on the beautiful south coast of NSW, I understand the importance of creating a safe, cared-for, and welcoming space. I always treat every home as if it were my own, leaving it spotless and secure.

I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets, from energetic puppies to elderly animals needing medication, as well as anxious dogs who require patience and calm. I also have experience caring for cats, birds, chickens, and farm animals, and I bring the same level of patience, consistency, and genuine affection to each one.

Homeowners regularly leave me glowing five-star reviews, appreciating not only how happy and relaxed their pets are, but also how well-kept their homes are on their return. Recent sits include a month in Hobart with two gorgeous dogs, and another month on the Central Coast with a beautiful blue cattle dog. At the moment I am finishing a month long sit in Wilson’s creek (Northern Rivers NSW), looking after two Great Danes and the 55 acres of land they call home!

I’m happy to travel anywhere in Australia or abroad for the right sit. I’ve spent time in Queensland, all over New South Wales, Tasmania, and Melbourne, and I love exploring new places while providing reliable care for homes and pets.

Wherever I go, I bring a warm, grounded, and trustworthy presence. I also provide updates and photos (if required), so you can relax knowing your pets and home are happy and safe.

If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets, care for your home as if it were their own, and give you complete peace of mind while you’re away, I’d be honoured to connect.

Thanks,
Kara ❤️🐾

I was delighted to have Kara house and pet sit for us over the Christmas and New Year period (about 3 weeks) on our 5-acre property in Tintenbar. She was truly exceptional. Kara took wonderful care of our dogs, Jedi and Jerry, treating them with love and ensuring they were happy and well-exercised. She also looked after our chickens perfectly. The house was left noticeably cleaner than when she arrived, and she even cleaned the pool so thoroughly the water sparkled upon our return — an amazing bonus! Her communication was outstanding: clear, regular updates gave us total peace of mind while travelling. Reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring, Kara is a top-tier sitter. We’d have her back anytime and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy house and pet sitter. Thank you, Kara — you made our holiday stress-free! ★★★★★

Kara was a wonderful house sitter. She communicated with me before and throughout the sit, left the house clean and tidy when I got back from holiday and cared for my pets. I recommend Kara to anyone looking for a kind and respectful house sitter!

We were lucky to have Kara stay at our home and look after our 2 dogs. Kara kept us informed on how the dogs were, took them for daily walks and ensured their needs were met. We have no hesitation in recommending Kara.

Kara was an excellent house sitter. She ticks all the boxes - great communication, punctuality, reliability and trustworthiness. Our house was left in perfect order and our pets were well cared for. We could ask for nothing more. Thank you Kara. Hopefully we will see you back on the South Coast again!

Kara looked after our home and two pets Walter and Maggie while we were overseas for 6 weeks. She was an excellent house minder and pet sitter. She kept us updated on how our pets were coping and responded promptly to any messages we sent. Her maturity and calm manner were evident and we were extremely happy to have her in our home. The house was spotless when we arrived home and our pets were well cared for.
