Violet was absolutely amazing. My Labrador Lulu adores her and wishes she could stay with us forever. The house was immaculate when I returned last night and Lulu was washed and brushed. I can’t thank Violet enough and would recommend her to anyone who wants a compassionate animal loving carer. I would certainly use Violet again.

5/5 star review Violet looked after my home and 2 cats for 2 weeks in January 25. My cats were instantly drawn to her, which was a great sign. She showed them love and kindness, kept my home in immaculate condition, communicated with me throughout my time away and was just a perfect pet sitter! I’ve already booked her in for another cat/pet sit.

Highly recommended!!

It was a joy to have Violet look after our cat while away for 2 1/2 week over Christmas. Violet worked around our departure and arrival times to/from home and sent pictures / videos of our cat (who looked very at home) with Violet while we were away. Our home (and garden) also got some TLC while away (not expected but appreciated).

Violet looked after our dogs and house for nearly 5 weeks and to say we were nervous at leaving our fur babies with someone for such a long period of time is an understatement, however all our fears were allayed after a couple of days. Violet was amazing! Super friendly and was fantastic with our dogs.

Violet kept us updated with pics and messages, which was awesome. One of our dogs, who's usually shy, took to her right away and whilst our dogs can be a little difficult nothing was too much trouble for Violet

The house was spotless when I got back, and everything was just as we left it. We will definitely call Violet next time we need a house and pet sitter. Highly recommend!

HAPPY HOUSE SITTERS

Violet was the right person for my kitties. It’s the first time I’ve been away since having them, I was anxious for the how they’d cope as I’ve been at home pretty much 24/7 since I’ve had them.

Although once cat missed me very much (hid a lot) Violet gave me updates every time I rang (and always answered her phone too) and sent photos of the kitties at ease, and photos of her playing with them both. And they were happy and healthy when I came home.

I’m very happy with the service Violet provided. Beast Skills: Pets well cared for, followed instructions, home neat and clean, Maintained house plants, Punctual, Resourceful

Violet looked after Alison overnight, she seemed very chilled out when I arrived home.

It has been a pleasure to have Violet house sit for the past seven weeks. She took excellent care of my cat Pushka and also of my home. I can tell that Pushka misses her and was obviously lovingly cared for.

Violet sent ongoing updates about Pushka while I was away and is trustworthy and a good communicator. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending her.

We would highly recommend Violet after the recent sit that she did for us. She was easy to deal with, sent updates whilst we were away and I think she left the flat cleaner than what it was to start with!! We would definitely use Violet again if the opportunity arose.

I was unsure of getting a house sitter initially, having never done it before, but i chose Violet as she came with great reviews and seemed gentle, reliable and trustworthy, and obviously loves animals. She stayed a month and left my place clean and tidy. She looked after my cat very well and I would not hesitate to have her stay in my place again. Thanks Violet!!

Violet was great with our dog and chooks and sent regular photos. We came home to a super clean bathroom and kitchen and vacuumed floors. So grateful to Violet for taking care of everything. She communicated well with us and asked questions if unsure. I'd definitely recommend her. • Pets well cared for • Followed instructions • Home neat and clean • Maintained garden • Punctual • Resourceful

Violet is amazing! Can't recommend her highly enough. She looked after our very high maintenance cat who I think was disappointed when we came home. Violet was communicative, prompt and left our house super clean and tidy. House care, House plants care, Pet care, Good Communication

Alma

MIND A HOME

We highly recommend Violet and consider ourselves so lucky to have had her looking after our cat Alma and our home.

Violet first looked after Alma for a weekend, followed by a three week stay over Christmas. On both occasions, when we returned, our home was spotless and Alma was very peaceful and settled. Violet shared images of Alma getting brushed and receiving lots of love and attention while we were away. In one image - Alma was resting on Violet's lap, which she doesn't even do with us! This is the best experience we've ever had of someone staying at our home and looking after Alma and we are hoping that Violet can come back later this year

MIND A HOME

Our Oriental is a bit of a scaredy-cat with strangers but is too active to be happy in a cattery. We had wonderful sitters with our previous cat so took a punt and booked one for Jasper.

Violet was wonderful with him, playing and petting and he behaved beautifully for her. We have booked her for two more house-sits and can thoroughly recommend her.

After a wonderful few days away it was a pleasure to come home to an immaculate house and a happy cat.

Recommendation

I am pleased to highly recommend Violet as a wonderful pet sitter, and you can confidently leave your precious pet in her safe keeping. Violet has taken good care of my staffy Thea a few times and she is gentle, loving and playful with her and keeps her busy playing ball and giving her loads of attention and pats. Violet is very clean, tidy and respectful of my home and I come back to a house that is immaculate and better than when I left it. Most importantly Violet communicates well and keeps me updated with photos so I can enjoy my time away knowing my little one is having a great time. I can confidently recommend Violet to look after your pet and your home, they are both in good hands and the service she provides is of a very high standard.

Jan 2020 to Oct 2022

Violet is incredibly clean, neat and ordered person. I also found her conscientious, as she was proactive when looking after the property. She showed herself to be trustworthy when I was away travelling for work by looking after my 2 rescue cats with diligence and care.

I would recommend her most highly to anyone seeking a tenant, whether for a residential or commercial property, or for a professional house-sitting arrangement.

Monte - Cat

Natasha - Wollongong, NSW

2015-2016

Violet stayed at my property and looked after my old cat for 12 months while I was overseas in 2015/2016. My property is a 3-bedroom 2-bathroom townhouse with a garden and pond.

Violet looked after my property with care and consideration, like it was her own home. The property was kept immaculately clean, and the garden looked wonderful on my return, even the pond which needs some care. My cat loved Violet and I know she spent a lot of time with him. It made me feel very happy and comfortable to know she loved him as much as me! I didn’t need to worry about him in Violet’s care. Violet kept in touch with regular messages and photos so I could see that everything was going well. And if there was ever a problem Violet let me know straight away so we could fix it.

Violet proved to be trustworthy, clean, and caring.

I have no hesitation in recommending Violet for housesitting and pet care.
