A little about me – I'm a working professional in my 40’s who of course loves animals and lives locally in Hawthorn.  I understand the stress on animals of putting our beloved pets into catteries or kennels, so having a trusted person to look after them in their own environment is such a relief. I  know this from personal experience so wanted to offer the same to others.

I’ve had animals all my life, grew up on a farm back in the day, and currently have a beautiful cat of my own – Dixie – a rescue who is 9 years old.

I have had my own dogs, my last gorgeous girl Roxy passing a few years back and just haven’t felt ready to get another – so Dixie is now my fur-baby and wouldn’t change a thing.

I have house sat for many people over the years, along with doing many house visits for both cats and dogs.   While I get established on here, I can provide you with many reference and have a current Police Check.

Note- I have offered house sitting in my profile but it would only be for short periods of time.

What I can offer is:

• A trusted mature genuine person to look after your fur-babies
• Someone with years of experience owning and caring for animals
• A genuine love of all animals
• A genuine appreciation and respect for people that look after your pets and treat them as your own
• Updates along the way
• Plenty of cuddles all around
• Current police check

Cats - I am unable to have other cats at my home as Dixie isn’t a fan of other cats but happy to look after your cats in your own home and do house visits.

Dogs – My cat Dixie is ok with dogs so for the right little dog, I could have dogs at mine – It would depend on the dog and the needs so feel free to contact me to find out.

I have a 2 bed, 2 bath apartment with outside fully enclosed (with cat netting) courtyard. The apartment block is a smaller one and is pet friendly and also has a great communal area out back perfect to take a dog for a play and toilet.

“Jane has looked after our cat Leo on numerous occasions when we got away for a long weekend or longer. We hate putting him in a cattery – he hates it and does not eat while he is there so this is easier and less stressful for him and us.  He’s always relaxed and happy when we get home and love the regular updates we get while we are away.  We would highly recommend Jane to anyone” Diana

"Jane has been pet-sitting our fur baby for 10+ years. Her dedication to his happiness and her love for him brings us such comfort when we’re away. We now have a second dog and she has embraced his quirks and manages both of our dogs better than we do! I couldn’t recommend Jane more highly to pet-sit."

“Don’t even think twice – our cats are always happy as Larry when we get home, so we know they have been well looked after and given lots of cuddles” Ashley & Tom, Hawthorn

'Jane has looked after my three legged and very anxious cat, Coco, on many occasions. She has always looked after Coco with love and care, sending regular little Coco updates to let me know that my cat is happy and safe. I have found her to be super reliable and trustworthy. Five star service :)' - Emily, Hawthorn
