Hi I am Kerin!
I am Australian, but born and raised in New York. I've lived in Melbourne for 12 years and am based in Yarraville with my two beautiful (very spoiled!) rescue kitties named Jagger and Ozzy; 3 year old brothers. Having been a frequent work traveller in my last company, I know how stressful it is to leave your fur babies and would love nothing more than to keep your pets happy and loved while you are away!
I am an experienced cat owner, I've grown up with chocolate labradors and love of all animals! I have decided to start working for myself, enabling me to have a flexible schedule to help look after your pets in my free time! I specialize is sitting for cats but can also look after small dogs and other small animals; bunnies, fish, turtles, Guinea pigs, etc. I have rescued cats most of my life and I understand what it takes to engage with them, respect boundaries and earn their trust.
I am available for home visits. I am unfortunately not available for overnight house sitting.
Included for each 30min visit (max 2 pets, $5 for additional pets):
- Feeding / Fresh water
- Playtime
- Cuddles
- Change/clean litter or cage
- Change bedding
Other optional:
- Bring in mail/packages
- Bring rubbish bins in/out
- House check
- Water plants
If there are any other tasks needed, please let me know!
Happy to accept last minute bookings and regularly scheduled visits throughout the week/weekends.
Also if you see a date or service unavailable, please message me anyway as my availabilities are general and if I can move something around or make an exception I will absolutely do so!
If I can be of help, get in touch! We can arrange a free initial meet and greet to make sure it's a good fit and that you and your pet/s are comfortable. It is also helpful for me to understand your pet/s, their needs, their favorite toys, favorite treats, etc.
I am focused on servicing Yarraville, Seddon, West Footscray, Footscray, Kensington, Newport, Kingsville, Williamstown, Spotswood, Brooklyn. Further distances are possible but may incur an additional travel fee.
Discount for repeat clients.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Kerin is fantastic! My cat is very comfortable and cared for. Kerin was really helpful in communicating, organising and looking after my cat.
Kerin will be our go-to cat sitter from now on, could not recommend her enough! Our cats loved her! Kerin sent through some awesome photos and detailed updates everyday assuring us that our cats were well fed and happy. Thank you again Kerin 🫶
