Katherine

I love cats and cat people, and want to help others like me who travel a lot and feel a little guilty leaving their fur babies behind.

You want to know your cat is safe, loved and well cared for while you’re away – and keep updated with photos regularly.

About me

Cats hold a special place in my heart. Ever since I was a child, I have loved their independent and sweet natures.

My last cat, Oskar, was a joy for me. I got her from a friend as an 8 week old kitten and she lived to the ripe old age of 23. She passed away in 2021 but I’m grateful I was able to love and care for her for so long.

My partner and I are planning to adopt another cat (or two) in the next year or so but we also plan to travel a lot more as well while we have the freedom.

So the meantime, I want to help others who may need help from a cat sitter like we did – and petsitting for others helps me get my regular ‘cat fix’. 😊

I have been a sitter on PawShake since October 2023.

I have a valid Police Check certificate.

My services summary:

I work from home as a freelance graphic designer, so I have the flexibility to either visit your cat at your home, where they are most comfortable, or have them stay with me.

You might prefer more than one daily visit or perhaps every second day will be enough. Please feel free to get in touch about your specific needs.

A combination can be arranged depending on the amount of time you’re away and your cat’s particular requirements.

Please see the ‘Service Details’ below for full details of each type of service to see which service best fits your needs.

Services details:

We start by having a meet and greet to get acquainted with you and your cat/s.

For 2 x Home Visits a day:

Morning: 30 minutes + Evening: 1 hour = 1.5 hours per day

Cat Boarding:

24 hour stay at my home: $50 per day

Note: Please use the ‘Dog Boarding’ booking option when making a booking enquiry.

I offer a cat boarding service for cats to stay in my home.

Whether they are kittens and need supervision or perhaps an older cat who may need medications and monitoring, or simply if you feel your cat would be more comfortable and less lonely while you’re away with human company.

I aim to provide a home away from home, and make your cat as comfortable as possible.

I can supply the litter tray, bowls, scratching post, heat pads, blankets for your convenience but would also encourage you to bring anything that would make your kitty feel comfortable, such as their own bedding, toys, bowls, brushes etc.

If you live in Caulfield South or surrounding suburbs, I can pick-up/drop-off of your pet to your home if needed.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions and I look forward to a meet and greet, so you can let me know how I can help.

regards,

Katy 🐈‍⬛
