Pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine around my own home duties. My children are grown, 19 and 22 year old college students, who continue to live with their parents and husband works from home office. My day to day routine is fairly flexible at this stage of my life. All my extended family live in Melbourne Australia and I visit them a few weeks at a time a few weeks a year. Pet sitting, is my new hobby, pays part of my airfares.

Pet care experience

I carefully, lovingly, respectfully and attentively look after pets in their own homes around the Cleveland, Splendora, New Caney, Montgomery & Conroe areas. I am now booking up to December 15 2026. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am an Australian who lives in Cleveland, Texas (E3 - Spouse Visa) so pets will get to hear my strange accent. When I house sit, I can stay through the day if needed or come and go at certain agreed times, whatever fits in with the pet /home needs. I may stay overnight with negotiations to give your pets the level of companionship that they are accustomed to. I am known to be honest, upfront, attentive, careful and respectful steward of your home. My other “job” is as a child-minder (nanny/babysitter) and homemaker/caregiver for seniors. I look after houses and people with or without pets depending on the situation. I can do extra tasks by agreement such as bring in or put out the waste bin, clean out any stale items in the fridge, wash, fold put away linen and towels, vacuum, mop dust after pet hair and activities, water plants, sweep the porch and keep the home looking occupied and secure. Happy to negotiate a full range of home care tasks as needed.

Karen was awesome! She took such incredible care of our Dog, and the house looked better than we left it. It’s such a relief to find someone so reliable. We would certainly ask her to come back.

Meg & Nate L. Reviewed on 4/11/2024 Kas is a nearby neighbor who is three streets from our home. She’s started out as a childcare sitter with my two children aged 2 & 6 for early morning and half day appointments. Then we added pet sitting when our family travels interstate. She has pet sat our medium sized dog (a 3 year old large golden Labrador) multiple times now with 3-4 visits per day, including outside grass time, sunshine time, feeding, watering and cuddles. Kas keeps in contact, including photos and is trustworthy, respectful, reliable, on time and tidy in our home. Kas has gone above and beyond our expectations each time we have booked her service. 5/5 stars for sure.

Jack and Jill M (Woodforest, Tx) Reviewed on 4/11/2024 We, including my boy’s, love Kas. She has kept my dogs for a couple of years now. Kas is punctual, tidy, engaging and playful with my dogs. She always goes above and beyond anything I’ve asked of her. Kas is trustworthy and reliable and we are grateful she is apart of our village.
